Mummy's 1st article published in today's TODAY newspaper!


Dearest Ashley & Abby,

Mummy was caught by surprise this morning when I spotted my article in today's TODAY newspaper. Wow! I must be jumping up and down as this was my first time!

Guess what? I tried to write to the newspaper several times when I was a student but none of my articles were published. Now as a mother, I was first time lucky! Gosh...I can't believe a 10 mins work could appear on national newspaper. That really motivates mummy to write more and I promised Abby to write about her in my next article.

Love,
Mummy Dearest

Ashley's Genossa and G2 exam pieces

Dearest Ashley,
Your natural talent in music shows as you play the piano. Remember what Kieran Kor Kor said how much time he spent in his daily practice? Yes, daily practice is the key. Your G2 exam is around the corner. Mummy wishes you all the best. Let's commit to daily practice together from now on ok? Love you.

Hugs,
Mummy Dearest

Story reading by Ashley - 母亲的 谎言 和树上的苹果

Dearest Ashley,

After breakfast, we started to read aloud from the Chinese storybook. Mummy is so happy you finally "开窍"! After at least 5 rounds of monotonous reading, you finally read with feelings and varied intonation.

Have a listen to your own voice. You sound so professional. You have once again proven to yourself that if you put your mind and heart in the task on hand, the results can be beyond your imagination! Keep up the good work!

Besides becoming a world-class singer, you can consider becoming a DJ as your voice is so pleasing to the listeners' ears.

Hugs,
Mummy Dearest


Peter Draw's charity caricature






Dearest Abby &Ashley, Peter Draw's Caricature class was so fun and meaningful. As what Peter said, even young children like you and Kor Kor can do your part in helping the less fortunate children with your artistic talents.

Ashley received one of the best birthday gifts when everyone drew a caricature of him on his exact birthday!

Abby even gone ameteur by drawing caricature of Mum, Dad, Ah Gong, Ah Mah & Uncle Hadley. She even volunteered to draw for her kindergarten classmates. WOW!!!

Love,
Mummy








Road trip to KL, Ipoh & Penang in Dec 2011






































Dearest Ashley & Abby,

Last year's Malaysia road trip was one of our best family holidays together. As far as I can remember, we went on a road trip to Perth with Yeye, Neinei and Yiyi when Ashley was 1.8 years old. Abby 1st overseas trip was to China with DES at 2.5 years old. Then we went to HK Disney Land and China with Yiyi, Yizhang, Lindy and Katey, Ah Mah and Ah Gong when Abby was 3+ years old. We went to Sunway Lagoon when Abby was 4+ years old. When Abby was 5+, we drove up to Ipoh and Penang for the first time with Aunty Celine & Aunty Gillian's families - 3 generations! We had so much fun together.

Abby, Mummy promised you to go back to Golden Sand Beach resort to take the blue and red slides again!

Hugs,
Mummy Dearest
