Swimming - Term 2

Term 1 was a real struggle for the kids & for me (emotionally) - zero confidence; constant whinning & begging to stay away from the water! Their good friend, Melanie, has stopped learning because her mummy feels she is not ready. I was so afraid they would give up too. But I still went ahead with the payment for term 2 ... and pray for the best.

I am so pleasantly surprised with their change of attitude & confidence level at the pool today! Compare to the other kids (same age or younger!) in the earlier session, they are behind the program but thats fine.. I am already very proud of what they have achieved so far ! Keep it up !!

Ballerina

Nearly had a heartattack when I saw the amount I had to pay for Kayla's leotard, skirt, tights, ballet shoes and cross over top !!! They are so expensive but they are really really lovely & beautifully made.

1st Singapore gathering

New term has started. Kayla had a good 2 weeks term break and yesterday she was back to pre-school. Mandarin & swimming classes will resume this week too. Today was also Kayla's 1st ballet lesson - her greatest love.

Last Sat. we attended our 1st One people-One nation-One Singapore gathering ! Ha ha ha !!! It was held at Bray Bay Reserve (park) just across the road from where we are staying. The company was great; the weather was beautiful and the kids enjoyed themselves. It was good fun!



Serious discussion on the economy ?
