The Bold meek and the Generous Giver

Mum attended the Parent's & Teacher's meeting today at our school, as usual, Noinoi got lots from feedbacks from her teachers for being extremely outspoken in class and very witty! She told her teacher in charge that she needs to be at the front of the queue when going home otherwise her granny would reprimand her for coming out late (Huh...that's a lie!). Her mother tongue teacher also commented that she's always one of the first to hand up her worksheet because she's too impatient to write her chinese characters and she would scribble it through (Like Daddy).

Nikki also has her fair share of feedbacks from her teacher, remember the day that she led the class in reciting the Chinese children rhymes during one of the celebration concert? Her teacher said she volunteered herself! That really blew mummy down!

Now let's guess who's the generous giver? and the answer is......Nikki!

Last week, teacher called mummy that Nikki have left behind some books in school and Grandpa have to make an additional trip to the school to pick it up. Teacher told mummy the full story yeserday during the meeting that her classmate had asked her if she could give him the books and she readily agreed! When the boy's parent questioned him on whom does the books belongs to, he threw them at the corner and said he don't know! It was the teacher in charge whom later picked it up and called for mummy to collect them back.

Two Firsts

Zhen Yiyi and Uncle Darren treated us to our first indian meal at the Samy Curry Restaurant at Dempsey road last night. Surprisingly, we got accustom to the unique taste pretty quickly. We love the freshly made papadams and using the special "plate" called banana leaves!

Our second first,we almost tried our hands on our first rock climbing adventure today. We were all geared up but Nikki didnt get to make it to climb the rock wall. It started to drizzle when Noinoi was still trying to conquer the wall. For safety reason, the instructors call off the training immediately. We were told to reschedule the session. What a pity!

Girls are from different worlds?

Noinoi got her first unofficial complaint from her teacher this week!

Daddy sent us to school the other day and met Noinoi's teacher outside the school. She told him that Nikki and Noinoi are worlds of difference from each other. Nikki is so gentle and quite and Noinoi is so out-spoken and witty. Just last week, Noinoi made one of her teacher very angry and upset. The teacher told Noinoi that she wants to tell her parents and asked her who should she tell, Daddy or Mummy? Noinoi replied "Tell lor!". That answer fumed the poor teacher!

Having said that, she was very doing pretty well for her swimming class. After learning freestyle, even though not exactly can swim on her own without float, her coach is starting to teach them backstroke.

As for Nikki, she hasn't fully recovered from her cough. As a matter of fact, after three weeks of antibiotics from the ENT specialist, she's showing no signs of improvement but instead her cough is getting worse than before.

Next day, Daddy decided to bring her back to Uncle Terence's clinic to seek his advice for a second opinion. Uncle Terence said usual cough caused by bacteria or virus will not last more than a month especially with the suppression from the antibiotics. He seems very confident that it could be caused by allergies of the airways.

Praise the Lord, she seems to get better slightly today. Daddy told her that she must give thanks to God for the healing because Daddy prayed for her and Noinoi every morning. Nikki was very sweet to thank Daddy for his prayers!
