1st Phonics Lesson

Although she was feeling better on Sunday, I had thought that an extra day rest at home would do her more good but she woke up with a worsened cough yesterday morning! Couldn't bear to hear her coughing, I told her to skip another day of school but she wanted to go. However, I managed to persuade her to go to the doc's with me, enticing her with the prospect of Mcdonald's breakfast again, :).

Today, I've dressed her up in the wrong uniform but she told me that she still took part in the Kinderfit.

She told me that she also spoke-out(answering a qns) during their CMC(Music) lesson when the teacher asked them questions. I had thought her willingness to speak out now was due to my telling her that we'd not let her continue with Lorna Whiston's S&D if she still is not willing to perform/speak when asked/spoken to but she told me that it's because she didn't really get a chance to answer in the past and now that the girl whom always answered out loud had left the school, she was finally given a chance to(I guess she just doesn't want to 'fight' to answer).

Renee's having her 1st Phonics & Reading lesson this evening and as the medicines cause drowsiness, I told hubby not to let her eat the bread on the way home - so she could have her lunch shortly after coming home. Then it was violin practice before her nap and this arrangement seemed to work rather well - at least we didn't have to rush through practice(even though it's a short one) before going for the class.

Punggol plaza - so near yet so far. By vehicle, we could reach there in less than 10mins' time, and although there's a straight bus(I think it's 1 bus stop) but I hvn't got Renee her own transitlink farecard and thus, trying the bus route today wasn't good - didn't want to have to fumble with the fare payment whilst the bus move off and I can't hold on to Renee(duno why bus drivers just have to move off immediately even when elders, pregnant women or parents with the youngs had juz got on board). And to take the train, we'd have to take the LRT, transfer to MRT to Punggol station, changed to Punggol route LRT, abit silly I find, why can't they simply just link them up direct?

I've forgotten to bring my book again and so, I had to wander around the mall whilst waiting for her. She had always wanted to hold on to my ticket whenever we travelled by the trains and needless to say, when I got her her new farecard today, she was upset when I want to safe-keep it for her each time after she's tapped it against the reader. So, I promised to get her a card holder(with a sling so she cld hang it over her neck) so she won't accidentally drop it.

Not expecting to find a nice card holder sling, I found one! Was contemplating if to get the Dora's, Disney Princesses'(definitely not e barbie's hahaha) but finally settled for this since she's got a couple of PM's 'friends card' :


And these stencil rulers made her extra happy, lolz


It was slightly past 7pm by the time we've finished our dinner(seemed rather nice just the 2 of us, :>) and as this mall doesn't have a taxi stand, I told her that we could take the trains back again - I don't feel like crossing over from the bus-stop, so, we took the long and troublesome route back again... By the time we got down from the LRT station, it was raining! Good thing I'd brought her hooded jacket and the rain wasn't too heavy and we managed to get back without her being wet, phew! Geez, what's going to happen when the rainy seasons start?...
