Big changes for 2015

Happy 2015 everyone! Have you thought of your new year resolutions yet?

Anyway, it's the first day of school today. Zac is now in P4 and Nana in P2. Can't believe how fast time flies... My babies are no longer babies.

Ever since the bad experiences with maids, both kids requested to go to a Before/After School Student Care Service instead... They no longer want to be taken care of by a maid... 

It was such a tough decision. So many factors to consider. Despite the many worries we had, the biggest achievement we attained out of this new arrangement is watching the 2 children be independent. Zac being the older one, helped to send Nana to student care before going off to school... They look out for each other. Heartwarming to see them together...

We are proud parents!

Nana Perry performing "Firework"

We decided to go for Karaoke on our 3rd day in Batam. My Nana Perry is a natural!

It feels like a concert!

Top 25%

Guess what I received in the letterbox today?

A letter from MOE! And what a huge surprise it was. 

Nana was awarded the Edusave Certificate of Academic Achievement 2014 for being in the top 25% in terms of academic performance in the level and course and good conduct in school. 

Just a few days ago, she had won 2nd place in a Writers' Fiesta for a poem she wrote in school. 

Keep up the good work Bb!

Super Family

Remember the video which I made recently for my 15th anniversary? The kids saw it and were keen to learn to make a video too. Using iMovie to create, I didn't even have to show them how to get started. It was pretty simple and they figured it out all by themselves. Very IT savvy I must say!

Anyway, enjoy this video which was fully directed by our ever so talented Zac and Nana!

When skyping is our only way of communication

Here we go again with our school holiday routine. The kids spend their weekdays over at nenek's house while we work. Now that there is Skype, we tried to catch up face-to-face every night. 

And during the day, Skype is our way of texting each other. Because we always talk instead of messaging, it feels kind of exciting to see how the kids reply.
