Glasses for both?

So collected SE's new frame, which is the same design as her old ones.  And the old ones?  Well someone is rather happy with them.

Twins!

Twinnssss!!

No lenses, just for fun. 

Bad Su Ern?

SE can be very affectionate, and also very fierce.  She has a temper and would really fly off the handle once triggered.  She would shout, stamp her feet, hit people...

Some days I would go to my parents' house after work, and my mum's report would be... Today it was the BAD Su Ern. 

If you ask SE, she would have a slightly different version of the report.

Version 1
Today I was good, AND bad.

Version 2
Today I was good, good good... then only bad.


Hehe.  Makes a difference who writes the story!  Guess she can't deny she was naughty, but she put in the fact that she was good part of the time.

I am actually good, a lot

Free flow

When mummy hardly lets you have soft drinks, and now you get flavours of your choice, FREE FLOW...

Which one? Which?

THAT one next!

SUCK SUCK SUCK

Heh heh. I was enjoying my currypuff at the time and only took photos when I was done.  Otherwise would have gotten a lot of photos of them at the drinks machine!

Busy

I'm super-busy at work these days. As for hubby, he was in Vietnam last weekend and is now in China.  Last weekend I took the girls to McD as they do keep asking to go there.

 

Ice-cream for me

And me!

Maybe IKEA for this weekend.

Visit to the optician

It has been a year since SE got her eye-glasses.  There has been multiple incidences of the nosepad coming off - this pair that she chose has a unique nosepad which is rather fragile.  It doesn't help that she also fiddles with the thing.  And lately she's been chewing on the ear-piece too.  Sigh.

Had to make a trip to the optician to get a new frame.  Check the power first...

JE: I want specs too!

For the first time, she also went for the 'manual testing' where they ask you to read from the eye chart.  Hmm I've always been hoping SE's power would reduce.  No change at all this time.  Oh well, at least it didn't get worse.  And confirmed that her current specs power is good for now.

This JE really wanted to start wearing eye-glasses too (sigh).  Checked her eyes as well...

 

Check and see

JE had a power of 0.25 in both eyes.  Hmm too low to need glasses I think.  So we just got another frame for SE (she chose the exact same ones she has now) and that was it.

Somebody's a prefect!

JE told me sometime near the end of the last school year that she will be a 'xue zhang' the next year.  Well, from the previous year, it seems the norm for the kids to take on these 'leader' roles.  There are 'pan zhang' - class monitor, 'fu pan zhang' - assistant class monitor, 'zhu zhang' - group leader, 'fu zhu zhang' - assistant group leader.  The group leaders are by subject and they rotate.  I guess each kid gets the chance to be some kind of leader in each year.

Now to me as a 'banana' parent (not knowing Chinese), I thought I should find out what kind of leader a 'xue zhang' is.  But kept forgetting to ask.

It was only a couple weeks back that I finally found out a 'xue zhang' is a PREFECT!  Haha.

Gosh... I do hope JE will be up to it.  Her Mandarin still isn't too good, her temperament is more on the timid side, and I'm concerned the extra duties will cut into her schooling time. (Also eating time hehe... she eats so slowly that she can't always finish her recess food!)

Oh well, however it happened, my little JE is a prefect!  She gets to wear a tie from now (assuming she passes the probation period).

Me in my new tie!

Which she is rather happy about hehe. She was wearing it the night before...

Nice?

I want to tell you something

SE always comes up with something to unsettle me.

Recently...

SE:  Mummy, I want to tell you something. But not right now.

Also...

SE:  Mummy, I have a secret.  But I am not telling you.  Kakak says cannot tell.


Of course I'd be thinking, What? What is it???

Oh, this girl.

Hehehee confuse my mummy
