Saturday - We had a celebration for Lao Ma's birthday cum belated Mother's day celebration for all the mummies. The tradition all along is to celebrate Lao Ma's birthday during Mother's day as she just refuses to share when is her actual birthday...

The last time we gathered as an extended family was during CNY. Like during CNY, we ordered Hai Di Lao and added on some other specialties. All of us were so full at the end of the day. A birthday of course cannot be short of the birthday cake and the Happy Birthday song. See Faith having so much fun. She must have thought it is her birthday. Haha!

Last Saturday morning, Huizhi had to go back to help out with a Heguru Primary School Programme Seminar as Heguru Method @ Fusionopolis is launching its Primary School Programme very soon.

Seeing how Huizhi works on her curriculum preparation regularly together with her team, I am amazed & inspired by her passion for education. Some people may not be aware that the different Heguru locations in Singapore are run by different management and a big part of their curriculum are prepared on their own with no collaboration between the different centres.

Driven and motivated by her desires to teach Faith and her students well, Huizhi is starting her Master of Education (Specializing in Early Education) at National Institute of Education (NIE) soon in August this year. 

After breakfast, blessed with a good weather, I brought Faith to the playground to spend time with her. See how happy and excited she was as she walked towards the playground. 

Happy Mother's Day! 

Thank you to my lovely wife, Huizhi, for being such a loving and wonderful mummy to Faith.
​Thank you to my mummy, Lilian, for your love, support and sacrifices for us and our family. Special appreciation to mum in law Jenny, for your love, care and concern for Faith and our family.
Love you all very much!

Recently, Faith has been choosing some of the books that she wants Mama to read to her. Today, she chose the book First 100 Words. Besides reading the words, Mama spoke to her in complete sentences to describe some of the words. We find that she is able to speak in more complete sentences these days. "I want xxx." or "xxx, please." Counting wise, she has mastered 1 to 12 and we are moving on to 1 to 15.

Yesterday at Heguru - Classmate Jayden celebrates his 2nd birthday and everyone got a huge balloon and a goodie bag! The balloon appears bigger than Faith. With Mother's Day around the corner, I received my Mother's Day card too. Happy Mother's Day to me! :)
