Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: July 2012
http://twinkletar.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Shannon has completed 2 terms of piano lessons - one with her original teacher at the CC whom I felt was not very pedagogically sound in her teaching, and one with my friend, whom she sees at Cristofori Music School (my friend also gives lessons at her own home in Bedok, but that was too far for us). She has also taken advantage of the "record" and "playback" function on the keyboard, and delights in playing her pieces then playing it back for her own enjoyment. Again, all goo...

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: October 2012

Thursday, October 25, 2012. Me: Son, can you please put the rabbits' toilet into their enclosure? Because I washed their cage and I'm waiting for it to dry. Put the toilet in there for them first. They will poop in it again! He did eventually put the toilet in, but by then, the rabbits were so offended by his wail that they boycotted it for some time.until they had to go. :). Find it in lifes like that. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Real Museum Art classes. Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Updates on ...

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: December 2012
http://twinkletar.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 28, 2012. So I brought Miss Shannon to see the Eye Specialist today. and it turns out that it is not Amblyopia if Shannon can see perfectly fine with her glasses ON. It doesn't matter that one eye is perfect and the other is a shocking 125 degrees. if she can see with her specs, then she doesn't have a lazy eye. Find it in myopia. Thursday, December 27, 2012. Patched and bespectacled Shannon. And today we collected her new glasses. She looks quite good in them, I might add. :). Just when...

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: June 2012
http://twinkletar.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 25, 2012. All three Twinklekids tap. but recently, both Twinkledaddy and I have taken it up as well. Because our lesson is right after the kids', the girls tend to want to join us for lessons - in part to show off (how often do they get to be better at something than us? And in part to encourage us as we try to get our decades-old muscles and limbs to do things it has never been asked to do. LOL. Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Find it in enrichment lessons.

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: November 2012
http://twinkletar.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 18, 2012. I think since the kids started primary school, my kids have only ever gotten the Edusave Good Progress Award. Once for Zach when he dropped Chinese in P3, twice for Stacey when she dropped Chinese in P2 and then continued to make good progress between P3 and P4. Then came Shannon who got her Edusave Merit Bursary Award (though we weren't eligible to apply for it due to income ceiling) for her P1 results. So proud of them, and how far they have come. Her teachers at school also ...

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: May 2012
http://twinkletar.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2012. After two kids who struggled tremendously with mandarin, I must say it is such a relief to have a 'normal' child who picks up the language despite the same amount of exposure to the language as was had by the older two. I am so, so relieved to know that indeed, it was the LDs that held the other two back. And that this little one looks set to fly with the language. At least for now. :). Find it in kiddy photos. Monday, May 21, 2012. All grown up. Almost. Find it in kiddy milestones.

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: January 2013

Tuesday, January 22, 2013. I have been attending sewing classes at Uyii. A place that sells local handmade bags. Run by husband and wife team Benny and Liping, they ventured into conducting sewing classes after receiving enquiries about them. I still have quite a few projects to go. A cushion, a zippered bag, a reversible drawstring bag and another bag with piping and hidden pockets. Excited. Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Find it in me. Sunday, January 20, 2013.

Twinkle Twinkle Little 'Tar: March 2014

Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Not bad, 17 days since the last post. thus the title. Haha. At this very moment, a brand new part time cleaner is at the house. she's the I-don't-know-how-many-th cleaner I have had. but the last one that I had left the country suddenly in November last year, leaving me cleaner-less until now. The lady that appeared today seems nice enough. a local who doesn't seem to be afraid of hard work. She's smiley and pleasant and that makes a difference. Find it in astigmatism. This is my...
