Maths Project

Really zombie, had only managed to go to bed around 2:50am this morning and I've to wake up early, to ensure that Renee knows how to pack her work to school.

What kinda work that need such attention that kept her mummy awake til the wee hours and waking up after a mere few hours of sleep...

This is it...   Her maths project work.

She had came home last Thursday, citing that their teacher had not given her and the rest of the classmates the required coloured paper(only 2 persons of each group got the paper first).  Thinking that she'd need to hand up the project by Monday, I asked papa to drop me at BPP so that I can go get the papers for her whilst they go for her violin lesson.  I got the coloured papers... But, papa told me that our dear girl has told him that the teacher will give out the colour papers to the rest of the class on Monday, aiyoh!

Before she came home from school yesterday, I took the opportunity for a quick nap since Rachel was ready for hers after lunch and when I woke up, I saw Renee working on this project on her own!(with the papers given by her teacher).  I like her idea of using transparent thread to hold/join up the paper cards, but the thread, being thin, kept dropping and finally I told her in the evening, when we got back from our dinner, that I'd join up the cards for her so that she could go to bed...

Thereafter, I was busy re-entering my contact details to my new mobile phone(yes, my iPhone3S' damaged, by our dear Rachel's constant dropping it to the floor, hahaha and since it's old and not worthwhile to have its internally cracked screen repaired, we decided to get a not too ex Nokia for the time being before I could take over papa's current iPhone 4S should he decide to get the new iPhone5 later) that I almost forgotten about it but fortunately, I did on time and spent another 1 hr+ just trying to fix up this thingy...  Not a perfect produce but I tried my best...

looking at the pic now, I realised that the sequence of the cards seems different

luckily she's the one who fixed the order for me in case I forget(we took a pic to record it, hahaha)

I've even set alarm to ensure waking up on time myself to help her pack the work up to school but it turned out that she could pack it up herself!  In an even better way than I knew how, oh man, don't under-estimate the capabilities of today's kids! hahaha

The Forgotten Project!

After our home viewing, we headed back to Bukit Timah Plaza for our dinner(which we decided to pack home thereafter) although we've just been there the day before, 'cos we want to get home early.

On our way home, I suddenly recalled that the school has informed us, both verbally and in writing, that they 'encourage' us to do a family project for the new CNY - a hongbao lantern.  Alamak, I have totally forgotten about this! And why of all time, I only remember this now?  If I had recalled this matter a day earlier, I could have gotten some help from my sisters yesterday!

There are some caucasian friends in Renee's class and we're thinking, perhaps, we might not be the only one whom didn't submit the lantern on the 1st day(as stipulated).  We told Renee that she could tell the teachers that mommy has forgotten about it(I dun recall telling her about it, except hubby...) but she's anxious. So, within half an hour when we got home, I managed to come up with this(with her helping out abit), :) - hubby laughed at it, why then didn't he help to think of something else then? : {   At least I still come up with an idea and did one...

Is it sooo funny, this lantern?

 

With the last minute project to complete, Renee only went to bed, slightly after 8:30pm but she woke up around 10pm+ and told us that she couldn't fall asleep.  How could that be?  When I've gone in to take something and she hadn't stirred... I asked her if she knew I was in her room earlier, she looked blurr, so she had fallen asleep afterall and must have woken up in excitement, hahaha...

She couldn't resume her sleep and cried, fearing what I've told her - she needs to have enough sleep to stay alert in school.   No choice, I told her it's normal to lose sleep over something she's excited about and I'm sure many would be sleepy especially on the 1st day of school.  And since she's slept for a while earlier and she won't exactly be sleep due to excitement on the 1st day, she should just relax and think of something happy, like those Luge+Skyrides and she did, :)
