Sleeping in Tents

I came back home from school last night to learn that my boys are sleeping in tents rather than beds !

This morning I asked them about how they felt sleeping in tents Yuxiang: 这个tent好睡耶。 Yukuan: 玛米，营帐好睡。明天我要跟kor kor exchange 睡。

my Uni classmates

Sunday classes stretch from 9am to 6 in the evening... And since it's the last 2 terms of our studies... we decided to have something GOOD i.e. expensive for lunch. My 16 dollars lunch

my super hubby !

I had lessons on 2 consecutive sundays...and my super hubby brought our boys out alone for some sun ! 1st sun... A walk to Yishun Park and its new bridge

And then they got so tired that slp in the car...and zhiyi was relieved for a while...

then they reached somewhere near MBS and they got up to play again !

Then 2nd Sun... Zhiyi prepared hot water and made himself a cup of coffee when the boys took their nap ! So smart !

YuXiang's art work

This year we let Yuxiang try taking art classes and after some months later...the school sent us back his work. So amazing and beautifully done ! A self-protrait

Flower theme

and a MASK !

In-House Gun Training session

What do we do at home when my supporting spouse is rather early from work? ANS: Gun Training session for the boys ! First, we set up the training ground...we need some wall and shields...

Now that we are ready...let the training begin ! see, the bullet flying out?

After one round of firing, let's stop, pick the bullets, load our guns again before we start another round !

Note: @ this point of time, we are still training our boys more of land-based stuffs. We will slowly venture into the sea and air as well. ke ke ke...

2 more terms to go !

Oh, it has been almost 2 months since I last wrote an entry. Was tied up with reports writing and prep. for exams. Al Right, I got my finalised results for the 1st half of my studies. My GPA is 3.3, Ah-Si got 3.4 and so is Jasmint. I'm happy with my results already because I've got an A! I think i did well, considering I'm a working mother with 2 young kids.

But this good results made me wanted to continue do well that I lost focus during my exam preparation period. So i decided to continue enjoying being a student, as for grades wise, as long as I have already tried my best, even if it didnt turn out too well... I wont be too bad to myself. Another proud achievement I had. My photo won the 3rd prize in SMRT Safety poster competition ! It's a simple presentation, done simply with my boys' toys. ke ke ke. From this human target toy...

Place a blank paper on the background, splash some red paint and put 2 target (1 up, 1 down)

and the final product after touch -up.

My Thank YOU list: HuiXi - for the printing work Wendy / Zhiyi - for the support and encouragement Yao - for the toys These are the little things that I enjoyed doing and will continue to take part if I'm able to (smiles).

Inspired !

I enjoyed the case studies used for my Business strategy classes for this term.
1st study case - Madonna

Here's goes the start of the case study ...
Despite a new r/ship a move to London, a 2nd pregnancy, & her 42nd bday -- e new millennium saw little evidence of a slowdown in e career of Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone ....after two-and-a-half decades at the top of her profession, Madonna continued to be the world's highest earning female entertainers and one of the best-known women on the planet.
And then we were told to discuss the elements of Madonna's success by appliying the theories that we were taught into the case study. Interesting? It sure was !

2 days ago I was watching Michael Jackson (MJ)'s documentary of This is it concert preprartion before his death...my admiration for this gentleman grew. the next day as I pondered about what to share during FT sharing session, a light bulb lit up in my brain and I started to get excited !

My little idea --> Why not I use the same method as Uni acamedic learning for the sharing session as well? The theories would of course be sutras such as 三字经，弟子规，大学，论语...

Well, Im still @ the brainstorming stage...but what I have in mind is something that goes like this...usually, one do get to learn about the meaning of the content in the sutra but...to apply / use it in our daily life, hmmm... not quite able to relate especially true for younger audience.

Let's use the example of MJ.


Discuss why is MJ's life a success? not because he's rich but his r/ship w pple who are able to get close w him (very talented guy, no airs, soft spoken, very gentlemen, yet he's frank & honest). His dedication to work, spending hours practising and perfecting every move and even went down to very details in his music production. Also awarded the most charitable celebrity by Guinness world record.

Then use back the theories (the teachings) to apply into MJ case. What have he done etc...

Well, I still need more time to come out the case study and also the linking of the theories seen in the case studies...I'm sure that it would make the sharing session more interesting and the learning more effective (smiles). Wish me success !
