In the morning, i attended a Orientation session at the new childcare centre that both A's will be attending, comes 03 January 2007.
The principal in charge went through the rules and regulations. Also administration matters. I am impressed that they have this PTC thing (Parents-Teachers Conference) to be held 1/2 yearly, ie: June and December. I think it is important to obtain feedback from teacher on the child's development. Especially important now that Anthea is in K1, preparing her for her next embarkment to the Primary School in 2 years time.
AS for anders, it also a good chance for him to learn to be more independent, ie: eating on his own, playing with his schoolmates etcs.
From my observation, this is what is lacking in Anthea's current childcare's centre. There is no proper processes.
After the orientation, i went home for a light lunch and rested. Anthea went with mom,dad, Terence and cherry to the NIKE's sales at Expo. I heard from mom it was too crowded and they did not managed even to go into the hall. They ended having lunch at SAFRA Country Club.
Now that ye-ye & nai nai are back in town, it is the usual weekends enjoy life routine. In the evening, dinner was at Hard Rock's Cafe. Food portion was large. Dad ordered a steak, mom a 'pig" sandwiches and for myself - a nice ribs... : ) Terence and Cherry order a cambo platter, clam chowder soup and a fergita's (think spell something like dat...hee). well, it is another version on 'pop-piah'. After dinner, we had a nice and slow walk to Tanglin Mall. Took some photos. I must said, this is the 1st year we took so many Christmas TREES Photo. It must be the power of blogging... : )
After photo, we went to the basement of Tanglin Mall for ICE-cream. Both anthea and anders had a great time with the ANdersen Ice Cream. Finally we reached home at 11pm. Time passed fast when you are enjoying it.
Flight Fantasy, Sunday, 17 December
It is a Very Very WET Sunday. Rained the whole day and the weather is COLD.
In the afternoon, i went to NTUC to stock up some stuff. Saw the banner mentioning that they are moving on 31 Dec 2006. Did a quick check with the counter staff and was told that the new outlet at the AMK Mall will be start operation on 28 December 2006. This is a piece of good news to us. This means that grocery shopping will be nearer to us, finally.
Today is mom's hospital 10th anniversary celebration, as she had an extra ticket, she had kindly asked me to join her. I loves Dinner and Dance. Around 7.15pm, dad fetched me from 313. Anthea was all dressed up in a beautiful dress, like a little PRincess. She even wore her Barbie Crown.
The guest of honour for the dinner is our President, Mr S R Nathan and the 1st Lady. There are other few MP's as well. So it was quite a Grand event. The dinner was at Swissotel The Stamford - Raffles Ballroom. There was about 150 tables, the crowd was huge and most of the people came dressed to the event theme. It was really fun to watched the games and performance on the stage. It was a very well organised event.
We left around 10.30pm , missed the last dish as dad was waiting for us at the hotel lobby.
Daddy smses "Just drove a ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE as a grp outing. Two to a vehicle. We rode thru rough terrain, mountains n water to the Israel-Syria border. We got to see war-torn buildings and past Syrian village. We got as close as 4km to Syria. Kisses."
