Foot in mouth project
To put one’s foot in one’s mouth means to embarrass oneself by saying the wrong thing. But fret not as that is not the issue here today. The past few days have been very hectic, running from one place to another and come night time, classes back to back. But I like to take things positively, it’s better to be busy than being left idle and grow cobwebs around you, right? Tonight I just don’t [...]

Of course with them there is Ethan That is Ethan entertaining himself during the workshop Had some light refreshment after the workshop but nothing [...]

Smelly feet
It’s Wesak and we don’t work on Wesak Day do we? My students will be sitting for their exams next week and I’m tied down with back to back classes the whole of this week. Yesterday was chaos with classes right down to 9pm. By the time I was done, I was exhausted to the max. Went to bed at 10.30pm without even going online! A rarity indeed! So what will we be doing [...]

His twisted leg
We went to Tesco over the weekend. We rarely go to Tesco but somehow ended up there yesterday. I needed to go to the washroom so I told Ethan to stay with Darling. Came out of the washroom to hear some commotion between Darling and Ethan! I was gone barely five minutes! @_@ I heard this: Darling: Stand properly-lah! Ethan: This IS standing properly-LAH!! Darling: NO! Stand pro-per-ly!!! Ethan: YES-lah! Stand properly dy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I terus [...]

Teddylicious Trudy & Teddy
I still remember on our 1st wedding anniversary, we toured Europe. I fell in love all over again. I love the culture, the food and most of all I love the Europeans’ sense of fashion. That was five years ago. *terkenang masa dulu.. hu hu hu * Try reading the papers or browse online these days and I bet the first thing that catches your attention is the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Always have protection on! Wear a helmet!
Howdy folks! How are you enjoying your long weekend? It’s a beautiful day — the sun is shining, the birds are chirping. What could be more perfect than a bike ride? The bicycle is getting more and more popular these days since it’s rather environment friendly. So make sure you ride safe! It’s important to wear your bike helmet to avoid head injury! Wear a bike helmet EVERY TIME YOU RIDE, even if you are [...]

Smaland, The Magic Forest
I’ve been eyeing IKEA’s Smaland even before I had Ethan. I have always wanted to let Ethan play there but never have the courage to let him go mainly because I won’t be allowed to enter with him. A couple of weeks ago a sudden gust of courage swept over me. I brought Ethan to Smaland and asked him if he wants to enter. Of course he answered YES! I was worried as he will [...]

Getting ready
I browsed through The Star’s newspaper today (11/11/2009). And came across the writeup on ParenThot’s Family Day. Read closer and I saw this… Ok. So my name’s appeared in the newspaper today. Time for tension to kick in! Reality check. Have I done all that are needed to be done for this event? Let’s see…. Ethan has been very cooperative. He gets up in the morning and the first thing he does is to reproduce [...]

Night-market trader..
For years I’ve not been able to go to my favourite night market in SS2, PJ. Why? Because it is held every Monday, a work day. Since I don’t drive, I depend solely on my driver (Darling) to bring me there. But if it’s a working day, it will be almost impossible to get him to drive me there. Since last Monday was a festive holiday, I took that golden opportunity to get Darling to [...]

I am all so happy to share my two cents worth as I believe in nothing but to make every child a reader.

Reading Sentences @ 20 mths old
Ethan has finally started to read sentences. It was quite tricky getting him to focus one word at a time and proceed to the next word and on and on. Initially he was overwhelm with all the words in a sentence that he just look at them and kept quiet! But now, he finally understood what reading sentences means and is slowly getting used to the concept. The whole-word approach is based on research findings [...]

Learning to read – Phonics vs Whole Word Approach
I am sure most of us would like to teach our little precious to read as early in their lives as possible. But not many knows what method to use. Generally there are two methods most commonly used in teaching/learning reading, the phonics way and the whole word approach way. The phonics way is reading by making sense of the spelling and sounds of the word while the whole word approach way is reading by [...]
