Discipline

Charlotte's 2 weeks break from school just went by so quickly. She will be back to her Chinese school tomorrow for another 2 weeks before she starts her English preschool in Sep. Her schedule for her Chinese classes got to change once preschool starts as she will be attending school 5 days a week. We will figure something out then.

For the previous Chinese camp, Charlotte went for a field trip to the Science Centre. I think these kind of places are perfect for field trips because the teachers will be around to do the explanations. I am a lazy mum who feels that it is very troublesome for me to read and then explain it back to them.

However Charlotte always misbehaves during field trips. She becomes a sticky, lone ranger monster whenever I'm around. She refuses to follow the group, interact with her friends and even let her teachers touch her. When her teacher tries to lift her up to see an exhibit, she will start screaming "mummy! mummy!". She would start to whine at every little thing. The worst of all, she pushed her friend away when she tried to play with her. It was the last straw. I have told her a million times, no pushing or hitting anyone! So far, for every field trip, I had to drag her away by force from the crowd to discipline her. It is so embarrassing! I wish she will be like the other kids. They will jump and shout the teachers name whenever they see them and even run over to hug them as if they saw a super star.

Anyway, despite her mean attitude towards her best friend, they managed a beautiful picture. I wished everything was as rosy as the pic looked. Emerie is one of the sweetest friend she has made till date in LA. She held her hand and comforted her on her first few days of school when she was crying and feeling afraid. She made sure Charlotte never left her sight wherever she went. My heart just melt when I see her being so sweet. She is only a few months older than Charlotte but yet so matured. She will only be going to the Chinese school for another 2 weeks before she moves on to a new preschool. So the chances of them meeting will be getting lesser. I really hope they will still remain as friends going forward. I really like her mum too. Her whole family are very easy going people and I feel comfortable talking to them.

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!
