OMG! I just realised I’d not put in a single post yet in October. I have been busy at work, and after work, it was to do revision with Zara to prepare her for her final exams.<\/p>\n
Now the Final Exams Are Over!! At least I’m less busy at night (if I don’t have to work). <\/p>\n
Yesterday, while Zara was sorting out her school bag, I just realised, she’s almost coming to the end of Standard 1! How time flies. <\/p>\n
She’s done well for the 1st year in Primary school. Her 2011 at a glance….<\/p>\n
She didn’t speak much Chinese last year, now she can quarrel with me in Mandarin.<\/p>\n
She didn’t read much Chinese, and was getting ~8X% in Chinese for her first 2 exams, now she’s getting ~9X%.<\/p>\n
There was a Li Bai’s poem taught in school, with the ending 2 sentences : She said she corrects her English teacher’s English in class at times. o.O”<\/p>\n She started picking up bits of Cantonese from school, and she asked me one day, “How come all the Cantonese words are the 3rd sound?”<\/span> (Chinse intonation 3rd sound). Quoting examples like, sek-farn (eat rice), fei-poh (fat lady). She’s now started swimming laps in her swimming lesson while trying to perfect her stroke.<\/p>\n She sleeps without bed guards, and knows when to ‘pull the breaks’ at the edge and not fall off the bed.<\/p>\n Although she prefers to be read to, she now started reading on her own too. Reading Sponge Bob comics, Geronimo Stilton etc.<\/p>\n She can bath herself now, and at times even bath and shampoo Zaria. Sometimes in times of need, even wipes Zaria’s butt after Zaria has done her poop.<\/p>\n She manages her own pocket money of RM5 a week (spending most of it buying She’s definitely done a lot of growing up in 2011. <\/p>\n

And when I asked her if she knew what it was about she told me something like, “You look at the moon, then you think about the good old days.”<\/span> o.O”<\/p>\n
\nAaaa.. I didn’t notice that.<\/p>\nuseless<\/strike> things from the school bookshop).<\/p>\n
