Potluck 2011

Well, this is a back dated post.
The potluck for our school happened on end of Nov and the next day after potluck is progress review with parents, just like previous years.

This time, mommy baked some mini cupcakes for us. Mommy passed the camera to teacher and asked to take some photos during the potluck.

Not only party, this day is also prize presenting day for Academic and Reading Awards.

Mommy also help me to prepare these goodies bag for my friends.

There is no sweets, no snacks inside. This round we put photos inside.

Those photo been taken during the Music Video recording the other day were all printed out and give to each of my friends accordingly.

I got 2 trophies for this year, 1 for Academic and 1 for Reading.

The 2 trophies are now added on to my trophy collection.

A week before, it was prize presentation for coloring contest & writing contest.

I didn't get any trophy on that day and I cried in the school.

Teacher informed papa about this when he came to fetch me home.

Teacher said I have put too much pressure on myself and ask mommy & papa to have counseling session with me.

Mommy knows I will cry if I didn't get the trophy as this is not the first time.

Mommy did advise me that we won't always be the winner for all the competitions, and mommy never scold me if I failed to get any of the trophy. But I just can't hold my tears when the moment comes.

It's not easy, right? Especially for my age. Not easy for me to understand all this complication, to me it's complicated.

I just want the trophy, why can't I?

Not easy for mommy to advise me or counseling as I may not fully understand.

One thing mommy feel release was: I know to take action to improve myself, though it's the wrong direction :p

Teacher told us story about the girl that won 3 trophies for coloring & writing contest. She is a fullday student and she very hardworking study / writing during fullday. Not like some of the kids, they just spent their time playing, watching TV...

After listened to this story, I told mommy I want to go fullday in December. At first, mommy also wonder why I want to go fullday as after that 1 month experience, I don't like to eat the meal prepared by school. I don't want to go fullday.

But this time, it's requested by me to go for fullday, kind of surprise to mommy.

After few times question by mommy, this is the answer I gave to mommy : Fullday can get many trophies mah....

LOL!

A week with BB

BB, my little cousin spent a week of holiday at Ah Mah's house.

This is his first trip back to Ah Mah'shouse.

Now BB is about 9months old, not able to sit by himself yet but he can recognize people already.

On the first few days, he doesn't want Ah Mah or mommy to carry him.

He will always look for 姨姨 whenever we carry him and his started want to cry.

BB is back home now and we hope to see him soon.

Fresh Fruit Tea House

Last Saturday, we, Ah Mah, 舅公，姨婆 visited to a tea house at Bukit Mertajam.

It's Fresh Fruit Tea House.

There are few in Penang, there even got 1 near our house area. So, what is so special about this shop? Well, it's open by mommy's cousin. That's why we purposely paid a visit to this shop even it's at BM.

The interior

Before this visit, even there is one shop near to our area, we never visit that shop.

Mommy always thought that it only sells Tea, like bubble tea.

However, it's not just selling tea, it got food menu as well.

Below are some of the food that we ordered.

Choices of menu included: Japanese Curry + Rice, Spaghetti, Fried Rice, Bread, Fish Ball...etc.

It's a good place for hanging around if you like tea. Sorry, mommy loves coffee more :p

Graduation Concert Nov'11

Not like previous year, I was there to participate in dance performance only.

Still got dance performance this year and the song we choose is 月亮代表我的心。

We were requested to make our hair curly, wear long black stocking for the dance performance.

Mommy brought me to a salon for hairdo on Tuesday afternoon.

See, my hair turned into curly.

Mommy also bought me a bouquet of flower for my graduation.

Take a photo together with Ah Mah & 弟弟 as both of them will not be attended the ceremony.

The Stage decorated with balloons.

1st events was graduate students sing graduation song 红蜻蜓.

2nd, we all gave the "Papa and Mama" card to our parents.

Either papa or mommy has to came up the stage and get from us.

After that, it's graduate representative speech session in 3 languages.

I represented for Malay speech.

The finale, each of the students got a t-shirt and Smurff pencil box.

Not to forget to take photo with my close friends and teachers.

弟弟 refuse to take milk

弟弟 refuse to drink milk few weeks already.

He kind of lost his appetite few weeks back.

Usually, he eats a lot. He can finished 300ml milk, then 1 hour later he will be asking for food again, like bread, biscuit, porridge...etc.

He started with can't finish his milk, always there is some left over milk for every feeding.

But now, he asked for milk, but he just drink for 1 sip. Then he will pulled out the milk bottle and gave to mommy.

We tried many ways to get him drinks the milk.

We get him cold milk, changed milk powder brand for him but he still refuse to drink.

However, he finished 1 bottle of milk on Thursday morning and this is the only milk he drinks for the week.

Though he doesn't want to drink milk, luckily he still takes bread, biscuit and porridge. Just nowadays the portion he eat is lesser compare to last time.

Mommy brought 弟弟 to see doctor about low appetite. 弟弟 has no weight gained since last month.

Doctor prescribe him a medication for the worm, suspected it was worm issue.

However, after take the medication, 弟弟 still doesn't want to take milk.

One thing weird is, though he refuse to drink his formula milk, he does drink the full cream milk that mommy bought for us. What is the different between formula milk and this?
