This evening we were invited to my cousin's 1st baby Fullmoon party. At my cousin's little warm and cosy house, both unbashful X and J treated it as their own house and chasing around like running 'amok'. They played with the wooden door(the main enrance) and for twice they banged it hard and jerked the little fullmoon baby while I was not aware, they played under the altar table and throwing question like, " Why is there no 'Di Du Gong'?" since my cousins only praying Guan Yin but not other deity. I found what they have done were rather embarassing, I can't help myself to stop thinking that my cousin's family and other guests might thought I didn't educate them well( I did gave my kids some stern warning). But in the other hand, I was grateful that it seems my kids know how to occupy themself and enjoy the party in their own way(compared to kids who cries in unfamiliar ground)! I personally think the playful, adventurous, and sociable self they portrait play a big role in their future success(especially when they join the society).

A little incident that worth mention was X had totally mesmerized by the fresh little Fullmoon baby. When I asked him to 'sayang' (stroke) the little fellow, he gently hold his hand without saying anything but later on his way back home he can't stop reciting, "Baby~! Baby!". In the party, he innocently followed (staying close at minimum distance)and stared at the baby, he didn't attempt to touch the baby but his expression was priceless, he was like looking at precious and newly discovered species on earth, naive and crueless!

Since my mathematic(during school days) was rather lousy, I used to think it is probably the last subject I'd pick to 'teach' my girl! But ever since I visited SG Homeschooling, who started teaching her son(about my girl's age)timetable, I was motivated to expose my girl to early maths(call me Kiasu or anything).

Last night before off for bed, I tried to relate some basic math's concept to her and her response amazed me(probably I didn't aspect she'd pick up easily since she inherited my gene *grin). I asked her what if she has an ice cream and I gave her another one, her answer was 2! Then when I asked her what if Ah Ma gave her 5 sweets and she gave 2 to her lill bro, she replied 3... not bad! however when I started to increase the quantity to 7 or more, she started to confuse and I saw she actually started to count with her fingers(giggle).

I reckon she has a rough start for maths and might still confuse with certain basic concepts, but I am positive that if I constantly revise the maths with her, she will soon sail through these basic calculation! Ganbatte my girl!
