Mr Potato Heads and many toys

I received a surprise sms from QQ’s former kindergarten teacher, Mrs Wong a few days back. She mentioned that she have got some fun toys to pass down to my kids. Because we have so much junk at home (and not wanting to pick up the toys everyday for the kids), I politely declined and say no thank you to her.

Mrs Wong again insisted that I should go and take a look at what she has got. So I drove over one morning, and did my FOC  green shopping. Guess what, all her toys are AWESOME!!

Mr Potato Head and friends (Playskool Mr. Potato Head Spud Buds) and some Heavy Equipments Trucks

Aren’t they cute? I fell in love the Potato Head immediately and it reminds me of the Toy Story 3 we have just watched very recently. The fun part is, the faces, hats, limbs and shoes can be dismantle so that the kids can mix match the combination by sticking them to the body (I have got a Potato, a Carrot and a Corn!)

There is a very nice Forklift (where it’s fork level can be adjusted)  and a Excavator (which can be dismantle and combine with other parts like the tower crane, changing wheels to the chain and so).

As hubby is now attached to heavy equipment related job, we have wanted to find these simple heavy equipment toys for the boys, but they are extremely costly so we did not get any for them. They have enough of their sister’s cooking junk to play, anyway.

Besides these, there is also a good tunnel (to be assembled in a creative way), educational wooden doll, and swimming gears too. Will take picture on those and update here soon.

Aren’t the boys so blessed? Not only the toys benefit the boys, even my big buffalo QQ is fighting over them.

We probably get something that is so valuable without knowing the price of the toys. Thank you so much again, to Mrs Wong for your kindness.

E-xra BM Books

Finally I found the right books to help QQ with her BM!

When a blog buddy, Hanz (who is currently homeschooling her 2 sons) first told me about the teaching of Bahasa Melayu using the e-xra way (eclectic-Express reading approach), I was a bit skeptical because I have asked around many, but none seems to know about the e-xra teaching. But after reading on all the convincing homeschool programs Hanz has lined up  and shared in her blog, I decided that I need to get hold of the e-xra speed reading books to find out myself.

QQ’s relatively lower standard

You see, I was really desperate as QQ’s standard is somehow behind all her peers although her school’s standard is already low compare to many advance preschool. From my recent guidance and observation, QQ definitely isn’t low in IQ. It might be due to her LOST FIRST 4 YEARS OF LEARNING, when she lived in the darkness as she can’t see the world with her extremely serious rare high degrees of Hypermetropia, which we only discovered when she goes to school at Age 4. More details about the diagnose of her vision here, here and here.

Since she is going to the Chinese Primary School next year, I want to at least try to build her foundation to master the suku-kata.

How E-xra works from my understanding

Conventional reading:

  • “ba” is taught as “bi-e-ba”
  • “meng” is taught as “m-e-n-g-meng”

E-xra Reading:

  • “ba” is taught as “ba”
  • “meng” is taught as “meng”

(no spelling or reaching of alphabet is required, thus recognition of suku-kata becomes very quick each time a new word is introduced)

As you can see there is a lot of Suku-kata revision after each new suku-kata is introduced. Although most of the words in the page does not make sense or having any meaning, the repetition of suku-kata (no matter if it is placed at in front / middle / back of a word)  seems to help the kids to recognise the word as a whole immediately.

I bought the e-xra sets directly from their website which consist of:

  • Set of 3 reading book (consists of 7 Reading Modules) @ Rm39.90
  • Set of 3 activity books (consists of 7 Worksheet Modules) @ Rm35
  • 1 CD (7 Modules reading and games) @ Rm35

I just tried it today with QQ and it seems fun when she can read each word so quickly. Hope this could work magic on her to brush up her suku kata as soon as possible.

For Mandarin, its books from Odonata
For English, it is the Peter and Jane Books
For BM, its E-xra!

Thank GOD that we see lights in our dark tunnel now!

Allergy Test by Dr Wong

Since we planned to go back to Melaka last weekend to pray to Grandpa (his 100th day), I took the opportunity to down to Tangkak as well to test my skin allergy (have been getting extremely ITCHY  little red bumps on my fingers like this..)

allergy04

Picture downloaded from Google (http://www.skincell.org/community/index.php?topic=24808.msg307884)

Recommended by Elaine,  I went to visit Dr Wong (Klinik Specialist Wong) at Tangkak to see how he can test what I am allergy to. Dr Wong does allergy test using the “Applied Kinesiology”.

What is Applied Kinesiology?
This procedure employs testing of muscle strength to assess food sensitivities. It is a way to tune in to the body’s energy system. A food that reacts in the body will generally cause a muscle to go weak. The test is performed either by having the person eat a food and then test the muscle, or they hold a suspected food in their hand, and the test is done. Kinesiology in the hands of a skilled practitioner can be very accurate, fast and inexpensive, bearing in mind that sensitivities can change over time.

(Source: http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/food_intolerance.htm)

How he test:

  1. Patient will hold test tub (of possible allergens) on HAND A while stretching out HAND B.
  2. To test on kid, the kid will have to hold the test tub, while parents hold on to the kid and doctor will test on parent’s resistance.
  3. Doctor Wong will lightly push down HAND B to check if we can resist. If can, meaning patient is allergy to that particular allergen.
  4. This repeat with many test tubs available there, to test other allergens as well.
  5. Once allergy is confirmed, he will perform again the same test to test the patient allergy level too

How to cure allergy:

Patient will be given a small bottle of pure saline (with energy transfered from the level allergen tested earlier). Patient have to take just a drop saline once in morning and once before sleep).

My Skin Allergy and QQ’s Nose Allergy

Guess what I am allergy to? It is the 5 spice powder (Em Heong Fun in cantonese). Can’t believe it!!

And seeing so, I had QQ tested as well as she has very bad sinus. And she is allergy to MOULD (and it’s the most difficult to avoid since it is air borne from damp area like bathroom, our aircon).

Can see the little bottle labeled “Clasp-11″? It is the Pure saline drop QQ has to take each morning and night. QQ’s allergy resistant towards Mould (Cladosporium) has been identified at level 11. <”0″ least allergy -”20″ very allergy>

After the saline was physically energized (WAH……pls do not ask me to explain how ok. I know the more I try to explain, I’ll sound more insane.), QQ was immediately given a drop of this saline on her tongue. And I see immediate result as I was able to resist Dr Wong’s push while holding on to QQ.

Putting my small itchy finger matter aside, I put high hope to cure QQ’s sensitive nose.

P/s: Silly me that I forgot to bring down my camera to Melaka. Dr Wong is recommended by a blogging friend, Elaine who has a daughter with skin allergy. Do visit her site for more pictures and explanation on how the allergy testing is done.

Chubby 24kg QQ

“Dancing Queen” dancing to the beat with her brothers

Born at 36weeks+, she was a very tiny baby. She vomits easily when she over ate, and being a so small eater, and she was so skinny until we all got so worried about her. But early this year, her appetite suddenly increased a lot after I fed her with a dose of Zentel de-worm medicine while feeding my 2 skinny boys. And at only at only 6 years old, she already weight 24kg!!

QQ is now being one of the BIGGEST size children in her class and luckily she is one of the tallest too, so she do not really look fat at this weight. Anyone who had not seen her in ages loves to pinch her now whenever they see her. Her face is so round now and everyone said she looks like Mini-Me!

Almost schooless!

Despite not getting the school letter confirmation, no result of any school acceptance shown online, Jane and I went to school to queue very early in the morning (another friend Audrey could not make it as she had to fetch his sons to school first).

Reason of register together is because:

  1. we want to put our children in the same class, so that my friend, Audrey will have an easy job fetching all our kids together when they dismiss from class together.
  2. the kids can sometimes help each other bringing back homework, in case any of them absent school.

At 6.45am, the school is already crowded as many parents were sending their kids to school. After taking our queue  No. 40, 41, 42 (so kind of the teacher giving us another extra number for Audrey), we walk to yumcha at the market nearby since registration only starts at 8.30am.

When our number was called out at 9 something, Jane and I were so HORRIFIED to be told that our kids still in KIV status as our children (among 100 children) they have not been accepted in this school. Instead we were asked to go home to wait until we got the letter of acceptance once all registration is settled. WHATTT???????AFTER ALL THE CRAZY QUEUE A YEAR AGO WHERE HUBBY TOOK LEAVE AND BEING EARLY BIRDS AGAIN THIS MORNING, WE CAN”T CONFIRM OUR KIDS ?????? @#$%#^

But we knew, by then, it will be too late already as this school will be full and they surely put us into another school which is less popular. I don’t really care if QQ goes to a less popular school (less pressure would be good if less student) , but problem is, I will have no one to car pool/transport QQ as all my neighbours’ children goes to this school.

Luckily the Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah Hulu Langat was situated not very far so we quickly drove there and made a complain on our fate. To cut the story short on how Jabatan put blame on school and school put blame on the new 0nline system, we managed to speak to the Penyelia Kanan and he was kind to call the school immediately to settle this for us.

When we went back to the school again, we saw a great change. The PIC were very nice to us and immediately accepted us on spot. They even entertained our silly request by opening the particular closed file (CLASS 1B)  which we wanted so that our kids can be in the same class as Audrey’s boy (who will be fetching our kids). In fact, the moment stepping out from school, we even received another call from the school’s Kerani, to check if we have come back for registration.

Persistence finally pays off. Really can’t believe our luck! I hope they also called those “early-bird” parents who were turned down and left earlier to come back for confirmation before the placement at the school runs out.

P/S: *hint…hint* If you believe that you had registered your child early in queue a year ago and yet has turned down by the school of your choice, now you know what do to ya…

Visit to I-City, Shah Alam

Have read so much about this place and finally we had a chance to visit I-City at Shah Alam.

It wasn’t a planned trip as initially I wanted to go to Mid Valley to buy my camera  (will write about it in details how we ended here instead in next post).

Among all the colorful lights there, the white area is our favourite spot. How silly we forgot to shoot the whole area.

Some of the pink trees there.

My favourite shoot too (if only Kakak wasn’t standing there!)

Overall, there isn’t really much to see there, except some lights here and there. However if you have not been there, it may worth travelling there once as entrance to the area is free except RM10 parking in the building which you can redeem on any of the F&B outlets.

It is also a great place for photography as I saw many people with Super Big Cameras (heard there is a photography competition going on). Too bad we only have one small Sony NEX which I have just bought earlier and brother was testing this camera with the available 20% battery only. He regretted so much that he did not bring his DSLR, hahaha!!

Pre-School Reading help

29.07.10 / Family, Pre-school, Primary, QQ, Tags / Author: chinneeq / Comments: (23)
Tags: , , , , , , ,

Due to my laziness, QQ is still not as good in her study like most children at age 6. She gets ZERO during BM Ejaan and Chinese Ding Xie beginning of this year. No English spelling yet until now. But well, its all past. Hence, it’s time to do something now, one by one and we have got 6 full m0nths to go, before she goes to Std 1 in Primary school next year.

English

I notice that the books her school using (Sunshine Books) is not very effective for my slow learner. Therefore I started her on Peter and Jane a few months back, starting from the lowest level. QQ now completes Level 3 (although a friend of hers can already read up to Level 5!). Ok, not comparing (BUT I JUST CAN”T HELP IT!!!!), but at least I am glad to see her enjoying reading English now compare to previous.

Peter and Jane Series (Rm9.90 per book)
Where to buy: Popular (10% off for members, and sometimes 20% during sales)

Chinese

I speak very fluent Mandarin, but you will be surprise I cannot read a single word. Not even my own kids’ names. Chinese is the most helpless subject for me as I cannot understand to guide her on her homework. Again, the books used in her school isn’t effective enough for a slow learner like her.

Many good friends in Facebook (even her school teacher!)  recommended the Odotana Pre-school Series (I understand that many pre-school are using this) and I must say the books are FANTASTIC in teaching Mandarin. Even I learned a lot Chinese words recognition from the Odonata Series.

Odonata Series consist of Reading Books (word recogniti0n), CD, Story Book, CD Game, Flash Card
Where to buy: It’s cheapest at their website

Chinese Strokes /Pinyin: http://www.nciku.com/ (I use this whenever I need to guide QQ on her school Chinese Writing)

How it works

Peter and Jane and Odonata shares the same method, repetition. From the lowest level, the page introduce a new word and it slowly goes into a short phrase, then sentences. Each time you flip the book, you will see lots of words repetition PLUS A NEW WORD (stated below). For Chinese, there is also guide on stroke writing. So its all REPEAT and REPEAT, simple right?

For the Odonata Series, I did not buy the complete set. Just the reading books and some stories, level by level. I do not want to buy the revision book, as I do not wish to test QQ this way (Glenn Doman is totally against testing the kid, remember?) Kids hate homework, hate test and since they will be tortured badly in our education system later anyway, why not spare them at home? I feel that it is good enough to cultivate reading and she will recognise the words slowly by reading.

Oh yes, I also bought the CD GAME and it is very interesting! Tell you, if the kids cannot recognise the words, she won’t be able to play it. That’s what I want, FUN LEARNING!!!!

Appreciate if you could share some links to online games your kids are enjoying (pre-school level) if you think it can helps QQ to improve. Also, I need recommendation on BM books to brush up her BM, please.

p/s:   I was very surprise when Hui Sia told me that pre-school kids in China is not being tested in preschool. Eh, we are talking about CHINA ler! The most competitive community in the world and yet they spare their young kids, how surprising right? And yet in Malaysia, we are torturing our little ones, at such young age (if you have read the recent change, for eg. Entry school at Age 4, LINUS for primary kids, heavy bags with tonnes of home work, bla..bla..bla…and ALL KIND OF NUTS!!

Time to P.U.S.H real hard now?

29.07.10 / Parenting, Pre-school, Primary, QQ / Author: chinneeq / Comments: (6)

When I was a student myself, I was pretty relax with my study. Tomorrow exam, tonight study. If no electricity, then go sleep (in peace some more). Just wake up earlier next morning. That’s me. No wonder my mum was so tense and grow old so quickly.

When I was in Uni, I see similar study trend among all peers from Kebangsaan primary school. We behave totally different compare to our friends with Chinese primary school background. Despite all the laziness and “tidak-apa” attitude, still, there is not much difference in the examination results. I gather that study SMART counts, not study HARD. Or I am just pretty lucky?

And now I am a mother, and I shall enroll my kids into Primary Chinese School. If it is not for the Chinese language that I want them to master, I would not send them there. I know, it’s like a DEEP DEEP HELL  for little kids to be in there for 6 crazy long years!

As QQ has been attending a “relaxing” preschool, I am getting very tense with her weakness now. I totally cannot imagine how she is going to cope when she gets into Primary School in another 6 months time. All peers her age can already master Suku-kata and Ejaan in BM, simple English Reading, and Simple Chinese. Even my mother (still a primary teacher) found that she is a bit lack behind….*SOB..SOB*

Am I being too relax on her? I can’t help but blaming myself a lot. For giving too much freedom to play at home, from morning till night. Unlike other mothers, I do not follow strict time table for revision, not much books to revise. I did not perform my duty as what a SAHM should do. Aiyo…only 6 yrs old ler, wanna kill them meh??

It’s just another 6 months and we are as if going to hell (read my next post). I am getting tense now and started working on something recently. Wonder if most mothers out there with kids going to Std 1 are feeling the same like I do….. :’-(

Mini Sports Day

It was Mini Sports Day at QQ’s pre-school last Saturday. Although a very simple one, I think the way of organizing was really fun and meaningful in introducing the kids to all different kinds of sports. All the games are pretty simple, for instant, where the kid will have to

  • learn using the racket to hit the shutter cock into the many square bins (badminton)
  • kick the football into cupboard-made holes (football)
  • hit the ping pong ball with the ping pong paddle into any of the many cups arranged on the table (ping pong)
  • roll the balls on the floor to hit down the bottles (bowling)
  • throw basketball into net (basketball)

Each kid were given a recycle handmade paper bag and they have to visit class by class to participate on the games to win and collect as many little gifts (pencil, eraser, pin, etc..)  as they can with their paper bag. There were also team activities for parent and kid so the above is what we won, HOORAY!

Trendy of being Toothless

Although all her baby teeth is still strongly intact, QQ had a new tooth erupted on the bottom wall of her mouth. We only found out a week later and I quickly arranged to have the front baby tooth extracted.

The extraction procedure was a bliss and here she is smiling happily after the extraction. She even love her new “toothless look” as she thought that she looks very “in” being toothless. At first, I was puzzled why would she think it’s pretty until I visited her class and saw that almost all her classmates have one or two teeth fallen. Now I understand the importance of being “common” so that she feels “FIT IN” the majority!

Picnic at Taman Tasik Permaisuri

June is a fun month for us. It is either a birthday celebration at home, or fun time out for everyone.

During the first week of the school holiday, my neighbourhood friends and I enrolled our preschoolers into a holiday program, at a nearby preschool. Unlike previous sessions done, they have lots of outing this time. On the first day, the teachers brought them to a Fruit Farm. On the 5th day, they organised a picnic and all parents are invited to join along.

Hence, hubby took leave, so we could bring the boys along.

We reached there at about 9.30am. Surprisingly the whole place were so shady. We were so amazed with the fantastic playground there, seriously! There are so many sections and the playground is really HUGE. If you have kids age 5 and above, it is really worth visiting to this park as the climb up and down playground is even BIGGER than any of those in 1Utama or Mid Valley Megakidz!

Also, there are a few suspension bridges and a good cycling track. Best part of it, everything is situated just at the entrance so you can actually leave everything in your car and fetch it only when you need it.

Boys on simple tunnel slide

Korkor’s hand looks tired from holding the food! This park is really a great picnic place as there are many seats and table around. I would say amenities here is the best as compare to many parks in Klang Valley. Even their public toilet (20sen per entry) is clean and nice.

QQ with her friend, Audrey. QQ was incredibly timid as she dare not climb up anywhere :(

With their father around, they were either confined to the seat or being held closely (too many red ants la….too dangerous la…bla..bla…bla…). Besides simple swing and see-saw which is suitable for little kids their age, they can only an sit there to watch people play instead of wandering around (too dangerous as the playground is too huge).

We went off early and proceed to Mid Valley as I wanted to check out the Thomas Wooden Railway series at Choo Choo Train, The Garden. It was an extremely tiring day, but fun for everyone.

p/s: Check out what I finally got for the boys for their coming birthday soon….Also, posting soon, where QQ got her birthday present real LATE and she’s REAL MAD too…

Princess Tea Party

Tags: ,

Finally on Saturday 3pm,  5/6/2010

  • Food : Curry chicken, fried mee hoon, Hokkien Popiah, Cheesy cocktails, Fishballs, Fried Tauhu, Red Eggs
  • Dessert: Tab-Tim-Krob (the biggest hit. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of the dish!)

As if knowing that there would be a party in that afternoon, the boys napped less than an hour. Both of them woke up while we were half way done in the kitchen. And worse part of all, they were extremely cranky due to less sleep, so I had to carry one on my hand all time...GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

See me behind carrying Korkor and being kepit by Didi ? I did not manage to participate much in the kids activities or take better pictures during the party :(

While waiting for all to arrive, the girls did some simple coloring first. Then they proceed to do the first craft, their own princess crown. Since everything was prepared earlier (see materials needed), steps are pretty simple as we have everything pre-cut for the girls, thanks to help to the Mummies (as I did not manage to get them all done upfront due to the last minute printing).

Since it is still early and I guess everyone just had lunch, we proceed to make the Crystal Princess Bracelets (info of the materials needed and where I got them). Initially I thought it would be difficult for the little girls to do the beads arrangement and threading, but I was surprised that each girls manage to thread on their own. Bravo PRINCESSES!

Audrey, QQ and Iris showing off their handmade PRINCESS Crystal Bracelets

7 princesses (plus 2 body guards) waiting to sing the birthday song. Just realized that we forgot to take a family picture with QQ!

QQ’s birthday cake - A 1kg Strawberry Shortcake (from a nearby baker) with my own customized Diamond Castle Edible Image (refer to this post on how you can have your favourite edible image for your cake delivered to your doorstep)

After the cake cutting, the girls proceed to play some games on their own. I like having the girls around. It is really fun seeing the girls behaving nicely instead of jumping here and there like the boys do.  At about 5pm, the guests are getting ready to leave. So they requested QQ to open up the presents.

We also packed some small gifts for lucky draw so everyone gets a party pack home.

After the party, we still have so much leftover on the food so I got to call another 2 friends and their family to come over for a simple dinner that night to help us finish off the food :)

QQ with her presents. Although it was a very small party at home (as planned and friends invited exactly to her wish), it was really a very tiring but fun day for QQ.

Materials and Preparation for Princess Tea Party

06.06.10 / Celebration, Parenting, QQ / Author: chinneeq / Comments: (10)

Preparation

Beading Materials ( from beading.com.my)

  • Crystal alphabet cubes (4mm)
  • Crystal round / opague beads (5mm)
  • 0.7mm elastic cord

I did a mistake by getting 3mm crystal beads and it was too small for the kids (average age 5-6) to thread. I then went to pasar pagi to get 2 more bracelets (bigger dimension, I think about 5mm) for the craft. There are so many ways to arrange and thread the beads, I find that making bracelets for the kids are really fun.

Customized Princess Crown

Theme of the Princess is Diamond Castle. I downloaded the picture from Google online, and using photoshop, I blended them into a crown for the princess. QQ wants something different from the rest of her friends, so she get a special PINK Crown with customised name (see top left). I then have it digital printed on a 260gsm Artcard (Rm3.50) .

For band, I used FOAM Sheet (idea from Jo-N). Simple and pretty eh?

Thank You Stickers

Found this idea online. Instead of downloading pictures online again, I decided to to a simple sketch of a pink crown. Arrange many on an A4 size, I got some A4 white stickers from the stationery shop (Rm60 /pc) to print them out. Idea: you can either just use your home color printer or send them for digital printing (better quality, Rm3.50 /A4 size)

Last but not least, the choice of Princess Birthday Cake.  This time I offered her a Barbie Princess cake. But instead, she opt for a simple cake (and I am lucky to find a home baker that prints edible image http://www.edibleprint.com.my/gallery/). I have also listed many online bakers who do edible image here )

Since everyone’s birthday is in June and a piece of A4 size edible print is Rm18,  I might as well print more, for the hubby’s cupcake ( I tend to bake some for him next week) and boy’s birthday cake (end of this month). An A4 size, I can do 2 edible prints for 1kg cake and 6 cupcakes (you can check out the templates for picture arrangement on their website.

More on the party on the next post….

Love immediately grows, the day you were born

Although miniature, you are just so perfectly

You stop crying upon hearing your name

Birth was over easy, but we almost loose you

God gave you strength so you carry on

Discharged a week later, you became the queen at home

With so much blessing, you filled our home with laughter

Today you are with us, celebrating again your birth

We wish you healthiness, happiness and love

Happy 6th Birthday, to our Precious QQ

Princess tea party preparation

01.06.10 / Celebration, Just info, QQ / Author: chinneeq / Comments: (1)

It is just 3 days away QQ’s princess party and I am all getting excited for her birthday party preparation. Not that there will be a big celebration since only 5 girls from the neighbourhood is attending. Food is simple, as I only need to prepare some finger food for Princess Tea Party. Its the craft part that I am looking forward to, and these are what I have prepared and planned for the day:

  1. Princess Crown making
  2. Coloring contest
  3. Beading
  4. Bento decor (depending on their mood then if they still want this)

As if I am making them work so hard before their food, right? Hahaha…I hope they will have fun with the program planned. Although food is minimal since there is only 6 girls involved, but the materials used above can be costly too.  How nice if I am attached to the affiliate programs and afford to organise sessions like this frequently for the kids.

I shall share the pics and website where I got all the materials once I received them later). Check it out ya….
