Final Showtime - 15th Nov

It's the final showtime by the P2 girls. No more concert next year onwards, I'd have 2 years of break before getting involved in mei-mei's concert in 2013. On one hand, I'm glad I don't get involved for the next 2 years (3 days of going back to school). On the other hand, I'm going to miss the girls. They're really sweet girls not like the ones I took - sobbing; highly emotional kind.

Packed some chicken siew mai and sausages for the girls, just in case they want a bite. Instructions had been given to bring snacks from home. But what to do if you've got 30 growing up kids who go hungry fast right?

Must admit, this group of mummies here really take good care of the girls. I will miss working with them as a team too! Fun team to be with, dunno whether we're helping out or playing. But ... despite our many challenges, we've worked really well as a team.

It's showtime, EM2!

After that, it was rush for us to get them ready for their Speech N Drama item. For this, we had the help from the S&D guys with the makeup. Wow! It's Halloween in EM2.

Oh this is so fun!!

Back in the room. Just some stupid fun. I've been surrounded by The 4 witches of Emerald Town.

Snacking out before the finale

Finale Song - You Can't Stop The Music

After the finale, lil' girl went to look for her sister.

Back in the room, removed makeup for some girls

I packed some goody bags for the girls. In the end got questioned by che-che that I was lying. Keke! Why? That's becoz' in their tag I wrote as "from all the Aunties". She told me she knows it's clearly from me so why did I lie when I told her not to lie. Hmm....


With that, we said our goodbye to the girls. Though we will see them in school, some may not be in the same class anymore.

I'm so proud of you, EM2 and most importantly - che-che

MMI Concert - 14th Nov

My lil' girl is going to dance on stage. It's going to be her first performance on stage and mummy is so excited. We missed her last concert the year before, so this year I told hubby that we're not going to miss the concert no matter what. It's a good thing the school had the concert during school term, which means we'd be stuck in Singapore.

Months before I had a sneak preview of them doing their practice. I didn't know what they were dancing - I asked Teeacher S if they were doing an Indian Dance. Nope! But the action that my girl did really looked like an Indian dance. I was laughing at the way she dance - she's .... let's just say dancing is not her forte.

Progressively, I've noticed her hands movement look like "shoo-ing chickens away". Cute lah! I know it's bad of me to laugh at her but can't help it when it does look funny.

In the morning, I put on makeup for her. She looks so kawaii. Ah doh! She's so skinny.

Posing for mummy @ home

When I continued snapping, this lil' girl started to 'model' for me. She started to sway her body. Ooh! Everyone would love this model -- but wait till they see her temper

Declan and Aricia

Aricia : ai yoh.... I'm so shy... cannot leh my mummy know we pak-tor (dating)

Declan : Oops! I think she spotted us holding hands. Let's pretend to do the 70s boogie dance

Outside the auditorium

Graduands from 3 different centres

>A skit was put up by MMI (Katong). When the curtain was drawn and the kids stood up to dance. I heard a man talking to his wife in mandarin "you see that girl is the smallest size." Who else is he talking about?? My girl lah! Even the lights man can recognize her - goes to show she hasn't grown much since last year??

My lil' naughty girl had to lift her feet at the end. ?!?!

Ah ha! Now I know where the "hurry! hurry! get water." comes from. She shouts that when we're showering her. Haha!

At the ending of their whole skit. She hopped to the stage (that the mummy's heartbeat hopped as well); she swayed - was enjoying the music. Her friend, Allegra, then started to enjoy herself too. The 2 girls was swaying to the music

Audience cheered them on and waved goodbye to them. Kids were so happy, even my girl started waving goodbye. Good! I always knew my girl didn't have any stage fright. (but mummy do - now I know I'll have stage fright everytime she needs to perform coz' she'll do funny things on stage)

After 2 long hours, it was the finale

I'm so proud of her! Picture of her and her 2 teachers, the other couple are the owner of MMI (Katong)

Lunch at Vivo City. We're all famished!

Playdate @ M's place - 12th Nov

We had been honorably invited to Mag's place with all the kids after school. 6 girls, all in their blue pinafores, came into the house noisily - thanks to May Ling who kindly brought all the kids from school.

Lunch was served. The kids had a dip in the "pool" thereafter, a nice way to cool themselves in such hot weather. No doubt I was really tempted to join in the fun. They improvised the game "Duck, Duck, Goose", where they poured the water at the word "Goose", then the girl will walk around doing the same thing to the next girl. The girls were really enjoying themselves, the sparkle in their eyes .... ooh.... makes me want to be a young child again!

A nice clean shower followed by playtime in the room upstairs with a kitchen toy, having 6 kids they can have customers, server, cashier etc.. Of course having so many kids too has its problem, someone or two inevitably gets bullied or left out. Sigh... mummies will say "play fair", once we close the door we don't know what happens behind.

The kids kept themselves occupied, they played badminton, they play hide n seek (which my lil' Aricia was bullied - always the seeker and when someone was found, she'd run after her and she'd be running away from her. Soon a group of children started running in circles)

I didn't know that che-che could play a little of badminton. Well, looks like I'd need to get her a racket and we can start playing. (wonder if I can find time. See lah! Bought the kite for so long and haven't even done the 'official opening' yet!)

Ice-cream man came by and they happily ran out of the house. Oh! How I miss the ice-cream man coming by our house when we were younger. And there was the bread van too! Honestly, I still prefer those 'old-fashioned' bread better than our Gardenia or Sunshine.

8 happy kids licking their ice-cream

Aricia was responsible enough to insist to go for her music lesson.. ah ha! Nope mummy didn't go in the end. (in the night, she questioned me again). The night came to an end when the old folks couldn't keep their mind awake; their eyes open. The kids had bounds and leaps of energy.

Thanks for letting us turn your place upside down. We'd love to do that again sometime.
