Friday was the last day of the trial. We woke up late as I did not get much sleep the night before and was lucky we still managed to arrive before the end of the morning assembly period. I knew Darrius likes it very much as he can play ‘choo-choo train’ going up to his [...]

The school was indeed very kind and Darrius was allowed to go for another 2 days trial as it will give him a better feel of how schooling life is about. Therefore I decided to register him with this school with the main purpose of letting Darrius getting used to the school going routine. We [...]

090909 is indeed a very special day for us! (I mistakenly thought yesterday was 090909)
This special day indeed marks another milestone in our life… Darrius is finally going to ’school’ though it is just a trial for him. After shopping around for the ‘perfect kindy’, I managed to asked a few of [...]

Technically, Darrius is only 3 years plus and will only be 4 years old in approximately 2.5 months time. In our eyes, he is still very young and PiggyBeng has stressed many times that we should always give Darrius his childhood… play and more play and not being bogged down with anything academic. PiggyBeng said [...]

When the book, Sikulu and Harambe By the Zambesi River came through the mail a few days ago, Darrius was estastic when he saw me holding the package and asked me who is it for? I told him that it was for him and he tried to snatched it off my hands and pestered me [...]

Remember about the my post sometime back on Darrius about his ‘Awujiak‘? Darrius seems to have a weak heart somehow and I find it weird that he has developed this imagination about monsters and ghostly things though he is still so young.
I’ve never exposed him to any of these things (showing him pictures or shows) [...]

Call me ‘kiasu’ (afraid to lose) . I started to read to Darrius since he was a fetus in my tummy. By doing so, I hope to instill the ‘love to read’ habit to Darrius as he grows. I am glad that he loves books now and will always pick up one to read when [...]

After reading Hui Sia’s post about her son’s condition in having difficulties recognizing some alphabets and numbers, I would like to share this with everyone who is interested.
I used to get all the Nursery Rhymes karaoke VCDs and DVDs for Darrius as he loves to listen to songs. Though he has learned a lot through [...]

I received a brochure from a Kindergarten a few weeks back and in it, it mentioned about a new branch opening around our area. The place is about 5 mins drive away in a nearby neighborhood. Today, they have a ‘Open Day’ and if anyone sign up for their program will get a pair of [...]

We went to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng @ Leisure Mall for dinner tonight. Will blog about the meal later. After dinner, we went around the Mall and ended up in Popular Bookshop. I’ve brought Darrius there once earlier this week and he knows which corner he wanted to be.
There’s this small area in the [...]
