Doing Well....

Charlotte's 3rd ballet lesson went well! She paid more attention this time and made more effort to follow through the class. But at her age, she is still not able to do most of the movements properly. She cannot even put her legs together to bend up and down. She will just squat down in an unsightly manner, looking like she needs to poop hah. But as long as she tries to follow and does not cry during class, I am satisfied. A parent with a 2 year old kid was surprised that she was able to follow through as she said that her kid does not have the discipline to do so. Hah tell me about it. If the mum was around during Charlotte's 2nd lesson, she would have thought otherwise. Kids are so unpredictable. One day they are good, the next they are just screaming and crying away.

Swimming this week went well too. I made a reminder in my head that I should try to push Charlotte's limit a little. Since she has attended quite a couple of swim classes, it is time i let go a little more. At least Charlotte is now able to strike a pose like she is about to dive in the water (hands straight up above the head, head and body bent) even though the actual dive doesn't look as great as her pose hah. She even made an effort to let go of the side of the pool to swim towards me today. The teacher praised her today and I was happy about it. 3 more swim lessons and we are done with the package. Thereafter, it is time for us to head back to Singapore in June. It will be like summer break for Charlotte. She will have a whole new different routine when we are back in Singapore.

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Happy Chinese New Year!

JetSaver Light Challenge - Penang Trip

A very big Thank You to Jetstar and JetSaver Light! We had an AWESOME trip. Not only was it a cultural and stomach full filling trip filled with nothing but one of the very best food :), we also experienced the affable nature of the people in Penang and most importantly, we made many friends to keep :) Below was the itinerary that got us selected. And we're proud to say that we completed everything mentioned and accomplished even more. Wednesday, 1st July  marks JetSaver Light inaugural flight to Penang and also our, team 4's (GO! Go! team 4!!), inaugural trip to Penang on Jetstar with a budget of SGD60. After the initial briefing and collecting of our SGD60 which we converted to  RM144 , we were all ready and excited to jet off. Checking out the duty free at terminal 1 before boarding . Upon our arrival at Penang, we were warmly welcomed by a group of local performers . A surprising start to the trip. A photo taken together with 2 of the performers outside Penang International...
