X'mas Eve At Nursery

My nursery organized a Christmas party on 24-Dec.
Parents are required to buy some foods for the party & a gift for exchange purpose.

This is the present mommy helped me to prepare.

Mommy got no time to prepare food for me therefore she decided to buy a X'mas Cake.

冬至 -- 汤圆

This year 冬至 falled on Sunday therefore mommy planned to cook the glutinous rice ball herself and let me try how to make the rice ball.

Early in the morning, we went to market to buy the dough. Mommy said we only need small quantity, so it's easier if we buy the ready mixed dough. There are many colors available such as pink, white, light green, yellow..etc but we only bought pink & white.

We start to make the rice ball in the evening after papa came back from work.


Mommy said roll in a circle to make a ball.



Small ball for me, big ball for Papa & Mommy.



For photo only, I didn't eat even a single one :)

Christmas Celebration

2nd Week Of Nursery

2nd week of nursery -- I absent for the whole week :p



This is because I was sick for 1 week. I had cough+phlegm, fever & running nose.
I can't sleep well as I cough seriously especially at midnight. I even vomited when I cough.



Now Mommy, Papa & Ah Mah also infected my virus and they all fall sick.

Em...lots of medicines to take.

First week of nursery

1-Dec is a special day to me as I started my nursery, beginning of a new journey.
Mommy took 2 days off for half day to bring me to nursery.


Day 1
The first day of new intake. A lot of kids & parents at the school in the morning.
Mommy & papa sent me to school but we found out that my name was not in the name list.
After mommy confirm with teacher, they found my registration form but didn't capture the date of start. After settle the issue, mommy let me stay with teacher and she just observed me from outside.

Mommy noticed that I was brought to the playground by teacher because the class was not start yet. May be it's my first day and I not dare to go and play with those big brothers & sisters.
Teacher cannot pay full attention on me as there are so many new kids. So, I was left aside and just stand alone for quite some times. (But I didn't cry)

Mommy finally came in again and asked me to play around. After a while, teacher called all the kids to go into the class according to their groups.
As my name was not in the list initially so teacher forgot about me again and I was waiting for teacher to call me. Finally another teacher saw me and asked the aunty to bring me to the class.

I think mommy is not happy with the school and she felt that they are not well organized especially on the 1st day of new intake.





Day 2
Mommy sent me to school a bit later so that I won't spend so much time in the playground and be left alone again. (This is school practice. Before school start, all the kids will play in the playground)
Mommy watched me from outside the school and only went back after I went in the class.

Today not much incident happened and my class teacher can remember my name already.


Day 3
Today everything normal.
Teacher let us play with straw & water color. Below is my 1st art work.
I told mommy I done for Red and teacher done for the yellow.






Day 4
Today I cried as one of the big brother "beat" me while I play in the playground.
This is because both of us want to ride the "motorcar".
Aunty helped me to clean my tears after I cried.
Immediately after school, I told mommy about this incident. Mommy said she will check with school on the next day.


Day 5
Today I didn't go to school as I falled sick since last night -- fever + cough + running nose, after mommy brought me for an ais-cream dinner ; p

Mommy helped me to inform teacher about my absent and at the same time check with teacher about what happened yesterday morning.
Unfortunately, my class teacher was not there yet and none of the others teacher knew about yesterday incident.

Again mommy was unhappy as normally there will be 2 ~ 3 teachers/aunty watching the kids in playground. How come none of them notice I was crying?

The principal told mommy she will checked the CCTV and called mommy later about the obervation.
Later, the principal called mommy and said that the CCTV did capture I cried and aunty carried me. I stop crying after a short while.

That means what I told mommy was correct!! Just the CCTV can't capture what made me cried as there were so many kids around, sure there are a lot of collision.


Overall, I like to go to school.
Mommy said she will tried to find another nursery but will let me continue for at least 1 month first.
