Time flies. My little gal has been in this school for almost 2 years!

She loves this school. She loves her teachers and friends. There’s no stress or bullying at school and her academic skills are steadily improving. Her teacher wrote, “With continued team work between home and school, we are confident that Felicity will achieve the goals stated in her Individual Education Program with flying colors.”

There’s no Chinese class in this school. She’s not attending any weekend Chinese class either. This mummy is not forcing her to learn Chinese at home. I don’t want her to feel stressed. I just want her to be happy. But recently, she has started to show her interest in Chinese. She started speaking in very broken Mandarin. When we were back in Malaysia the previous weekend, she tried to speak more Mandarin to everyone. Not shy, not afraid to make people laugh…that’s the spirit I admire!! When we were having lunch at my dad’s home, she suddenly sang an old Chinese song, “多少柔情多少泪”. Ha…everybody was surprised to hear that. My eldest brother was so impressed but his teenage daughter had no idea what song that was.

Her first dental visit a year ago was quite traumatic. But her recent dental visit was enjoyable although she needed a filling. She understood what I told her that there’s a hole in her tooth and she had to let her dentist fix it by putting something into the hole. She was brave and talkative on the dental chair. It’s such a relief to me and hubby…:)

School holidays are around the corner. Last night, she yelled happily in bed, “I’m going to Maldives!”

Stay happy always, my little darling…
