Jayne brought 2 of her school mates home for dinner last Sunday. Her female school mate decided to sleep over as they needed to go to school earlier on Monday. The other a male school mate went home. The next day, Daniel asked if her friends stayed over because he was already in bed when the guests were still in the house. I told him and he asked why the male school mate did not stay over. I just said that only girls can stay over and he said,' but there are boys in this house what...' I sure cannot beat his logic!

Congrats to Ting and her team! They came in 2nd in the competition! It had cheered her up and hopefully give her an extra boost of energy to see her through her mid year exams. All the best. May you experience God's peace that surpasses all comprehension as you trust Him with all your heart!

I'm so proud of Ting's Earth Day project. Her team got into the finals and I can't wait till Sunday to find out their actual results! Saw her putting in so much time on that blogskin....I'm glad at least it gave her a sense of accomplishment.

Joycelyn is marching in the GB Guards -of -Honor squad during GMS(P) Thanksgiving. Way to go Joyce! i know it will be tough for you to keep still for 10 mins for the inspection, but it's good training for you!
Jayne shared with us that she is in the top 10% of the cohort for the exams! We are so proud of her. She had been so busy with her DEP; rehearse,dance lesson, watching performances etc that I was getting rather concerned if she had time to study anything else. All I could do is make sure she eats her meals, go to bed earlier so that she can pay attention in class and pray for her. Well, we do want to celebrate her success...looks like another makan session coming right up!

Some kids came to our house to play after school. In the excitement of the games, words not allowed in our home popped out. I had to step in and remind them not to commit that offence.
it's not that we cannot use such words. Rather, we do not want to. If Jesus lives in my heart, my life will reflect Him and my words will be gracious and edify those who listens.
As a kid, i was surrounded with adults and kids who uses profanity in all communications whether they were angry or not. I somehow despise such talks and never use it in my speech. I hope our kids will feel likewise and know that it takes character to be different and that's cool!

Last Sat was meet the teachers' day at TKGS. Apparently, Ting is not doing well. I was not concern because I am very confident that Ting can do well. Tonight, we were just chatting about school and she mentioned that our changing church and then dropping the HMT had affected her a lot. I should have been more sensitive to her needs....sorry my dear Ting.
She is fitting in a lot better, Thanks to Jasmine's Birthday party which she had attended. At least, she knows the names of all the folks and had great fun laughing and playing together. I am sure she will bounce back up in no time.
Hmmm, I 'm wondering about Joycelyn's performance at school lately. It had been rather shocking too! Better check on her....

Lately, I noticed that the kids are spending lots more time on the computer. Even if they had completed their work, I do not think it is a good idea to do so. So the rules are back again. Half an hour per day. It is difficult to implement and difficult for them to keep to it. But we'll just have to try....when i informed Daniel about the rule, he told me: I know what is better than computer- It's family! I do not know what makes him say that. But Amen, to that!
