Tuesday...

It was a refreshing change not logging into the internet last night('cos it's already past 12am after the programme on discovery channel and I was sooo slpy that I decided to go read my book instead). Perhaps should try to do so, more often? heee...

Ok, back to the 'star reward programme', I've started it with a 'day calendar' style card and as I went along with it, I found that although it does enhance helping Renee to learn about the day(s) faster but it didn't quite seem to give the kind of effect I wanted(for its original purpose). So, since the learning of day(s) will come eventually in later school and thus, when she's finally achieved her 21st star last evening(yes! not bad liao, since she's not one who would drink so much water and we've only started this on last wednesday afternoon), I decided to change the 'card' to that of just a plain one - so that when the card's got 20 stars, she can use the card to 'exchange' for her favourite food :)

At the school, the Principal seemed to be in a very good mood today 'cos when I brought Renee to the class, I passed by her at the hall, with a group of older children(maybe waiting for their K graduation photo shoot) and she said a big loud 'Hello' to me... Then as I turned to leave, she said hello to me again and even spoke to the kids "children, say hello to Mrs Toh" hahahahaha. The kids were of cos puzzled and they must be wondering "huh, new teacher?" hahaha but one boy, whom had seen/spoke to me once before, said "bye" lolz.

On our way home from school, Renee asked if her daddy's home and when I replied that he might have gone to the doc's, she said : "let's check out daddy's car"(when we were in the carpark). I spotted the car(though at a different lot now) and told Renee I saw it and she went : "Where? I can't see! oh I know, when I go to school, daddy go out. Then, I come back from school, daddy come back also" hahaha.

I had gone over to Eileen's after I've sent Renee to school 'cos I need to pass her the things my niece needed for her stay at the Uni hostel and I've also to pick up the pork and clothes that Elsie had got for Renee. She cooked porridge for lunch and I got to eat a good home-cooked porridge lunch today :). And so, with the extra new clothes(some sweet pyjamas too), I quickly handled the pork when we got home and spent a good 1 1/2 hour just to pack up the worn clothes and clear up the older lot that I've stacked into the big bag in the store(so I can sort them later and pack them into the boxes later). This is another jacket Elsie's got for her(baby doll style) and it's in the exact design of what I've ordered from a US online web merchant earlier!:

Last evening, I phoned the the Korean lady up to check on the status of my request for her to come over on Fridays instead(In fact I've asked her earlier, if it's possible to change it to Fridays permanently as daddy wanted us to follow him to the golf club most of the wkends now. But on Fri, she would only have my home to do, so it's not feasible for her as not near) but she said that she's only able to 'help' on this Friday-she had earlier offered Fridays, I should have taken that offer up then! Anyway, let's just see how things go...

On the above note, if we're really going with daddy to the club this weekend, plus next Saturday when we'd be out celebrating my birthday, that would mean a 4wks of non-visitation to my mom's!!! Oh oh, must make changes liao...
