Welcome 2013........

First of all....I would like to wish all my friends " Happy Belated New Year".

This year is definitely a busy day for me as I started to teach tuition during weekends (fri,sat and sat) at one of the tuition centre.
After quitting from my last job more than 7 years ago,...now I am back to the working life again. Pretty tiring for me especially when I have to teach those small kids.Weekdays is my rest day and when come to weekends, I have to get myself ready for the "war" again.

As for Ryan, he is entering a new school for his K2, I am glad that he is enjoying his new school life and so far he is doing well there. But he needs to wake up earlier than last year and have to reach the school before 7.30am (lesson starts at 7.30am).

As for me, the most tiring day for me is Saturday because I have 3 classes on that day. By the time I finish my last class, the clock has stroke 9pm and by the time I reached home, it is about 9.30pm.
My students are mostly from Pri 1, Pri 2 and Pri 3. Some of them can read very well but some of them can't even read simple English words. I am putting my best effort to teach them and hope it will show an improvement in their English.

Stay tuned for my next post.......

You 're Doing good.....

Yes...we are back to Medan on this school holiday. Ryan last day school was on 6th Nov 2012 and it was also the day he got his report book....This time , Ryan got 3rd place in his class. Well done,boy!!

As usual, school would give some pressie to top 3 students for whole school and this is what Ryan got from school.....being top 3 in class,won the colouring contest & writing contest.

Ryan's artpiece

Ryan has attended colouring class for more than half a year, and I can see an improvement in his colouring skill. At least now he can mix the colour better than last time. 

Every saturday morning, Ryan will attend the  class for 2 hours at his school, he has to complete 1 drawing per session.

And this is the latest drawing that Ryan coloured at school (before the Merdeka Day)....

And the result....

At last..last Wednesday I received Ryan's report book...very satisfied with his result. Ryan got 1st in his class and he received a small pressie from his class teacher.

Yesterday,after having lunch, my MIL brought Ryan to FarLey to see toys. MIL also get a pressie for Ryan,a set of racing track (forget to snap the pix). Ryan was so happy.

Keep it up, Ryan !!! *-*

After been waiting for a month...

Ryan was supposed to receive his report book for his mid-term exam before school holiday. Due to his class teacher was on confinement leave at that point of time, i was dragged till now...and tomorrow is the DAY.
For the exam results, I received them before the school holiday and Ryan scored a good mark except for Maths and Mandarin (90++).

I believe every parents will get kan-cheong on their kids' performance at school and so do I. I did not put much pressure on Ryan. Of course, whatever the teacher has taught at school, he must understand and know how to read and write. Practices is done at home every night except Sunday is his off-day.

I would say....the syllabus was getting tougher and tougher especially for Mandarin. I myself give up in teaching him the Mandarin subject. Being a "banana",it is difficult for me to remember those strokes...Today I learnt, tomorrow I lupa...., So I pass this job to my hubby. He will be Ryan's tuition teacher at home.

Can't wait for tomorrow......

Year End exam's result

Yesterday was Ryan's last day at school and he received his final year report book.
I was so happy that Ryan got 1st rank in his class. Feel proud of him...I knew he is doing his best in the final year exam.
The top 3 in his class received a pressie from school and also some titbits.
Apart from it, Ryan also received his very first trophy from Dancing Competition that he joined about a month ago.




*No smile face on both pics......not in a good mood to snap pics*

The good news.....Yes, we are going back to Medan soon...another 2 more weeks to go. We are looking forward to it.Ryan is getting excited to see grandma,grandpa,aunt,uncle and his cousins all in Medan. Of course, we miss the food there too. Gonna write down a list of food we want to eat while holidaying in Medan.

Good.....Good

I did mentioned in my previous's post that Ryan was having trial exam last week and yesterday the teacher have given back all the exam paper. I was quite suprised that Ryan scored good for this exam. He managed to obtain full marks for 4 subjects(BC, BI, BM and Maths) except Moral he scored 97.Not bad :)
Overall, I feel happy with his exam result and hope Ryan can maintain the same result for his coming final exam in the next 2 weeks(very soon....)
I do not give pressure to Ryan,but everyday I will give him some practices to do just to make him remember the vocabs.
Ryan, keep up your good work!!.....a new bicycle is on the way if he manage to get 1st place in his class(MIL promised to buy Ryan a new bicycle).

Our Conversation

I better jotted down Ryan's conversation with me today,to me,it is a suprise..!!
This afternoon Ryan woke up from his nap earlier than usual around 4.10pm, after his milk, he watched Tom & Jerry for awhile,then we went out together.
While I was driving, this is how the conversation go :
Ryan : Mummy, tomorrow I want to go school earlier.
Mummy : Oh....why? You always reach school on time.
Ryan : Teacher saids tomorrow must come earlier,can't come late to school.
Mummy : Ok,then tonight you have to sleep earlier,so tomorrow you can wake up earlier too.
Ryan : Ok Ok..and tomorrow mummy no need to send to up to my classroom. Just send me till the stairs and I will wake up by myself.
Mummy : *I was quiet for awhile* ....Ryan never said like this to me and it was the very first time.(such a suprise for me)..then I replied "ok". You really can do it yourself?
Ryan : Yes...I can,don't worry.

And tonight Ryan goes to sleep earlier than usual and he behaves very well.
I feel so happy that Ryan seem enjoy his school life. A good sign !!

Little updates about school

It has been about two weeks since school started and Ryan really need time to get used to school life again. After having that two weeks school holiday + 1 week sick holiday, Ryan was enjoying too much at home with mummy & daddy . That is why every morning, he will cry awhile at school when I sent him off. My heart was pain to leave him there,but I have to be firm and can't pamper him too much. It is time for him to be independent at school.....I always checked with his form teacher and the comment I got is : Ryan will cry for awhile when I left,after that he will back to his normal routine.
I really all this drama will over soon....no more crying and having happy mood going to school.
But one thing I found pretty strange.....Ryan told me not to fetch him up from school on time,he asked me to come bit late because he wanted to play toys at school (*slap forehead*).

For this coming half semester, Ryan is having a homework everyday from school. He really need to study harder to get the best result.

Ryan's Report Book

Due to sick, Ryan has been absent from school for this whole week and yesterday I gave a call to his school to talk to his form teacher, then I got to know that today is the last day school and also the day to collect the report book. Although I have got the test papers and Ryan was getting full mark for 4 subjects except moral education ,he got 95 marks,but overall his result is not bad. (Maybe I put too high expectation on Ryan, I expect him to get all 5 subjects full mark,if possible).

So this afternoon, I drove Ryan to school to take his report book and also some homework that he has missed out for the past few days. To my suprise, the teacher told me that Ryan is getting 1st rank on his class. His result is quite good,average is 99....and Ryan got a small present ( Upin & Ipin pencil set) from the school.
I was so happy with the result and I keep telling Ryan to study harder and smarter,so that he can always pass with flying colours.
Well done, Ryan !!! Mommy is so proud of you....**

Tomorrow will the school holiday for 2 weeks and no holiday plan for us as I prefer to keep Ryan stay indoor to strenghten back his immune system.

Exam's result

Last week,Ryan was having his first semester exam and all together they are 5 subjects to be tested. And today, he collected back all his exam paper.
I am so glad that Ryan is doing well in his exam...well done,Ryan!!
He is getting 100 marks for 4 papers except the moral paper he is getting 95 mark only.
I know Ryan is trying his best to complete all the papers,better don't put too much pressure on him at this moment.
In the next two weeks time, Ryan will be having school holiday for 2 weeks starting from 30 May-12 Jun'2011. Looking forward to it...

Start school again...

I was so nervous last few days..it was because of Ryan....why?...I was so worried that he may refuse to go school after having a long break (almost a month) from school , it is my own-self holiday for Ryan as we were back to Medan for a holiday. My worries were gone...Ryan was doing fine at school for the past few days.
I have no problem to ask him wake up and send him off to school. Everytime when I fetched him, I would ask his teacher whether he was doing fine...the answer I got "Yes".He will join his friends in the singing session and all the activities carried out in the whole morning..:)

Although I did get some worksheet from the teacher for Ryan to do while we were in Medan,but that was not enough. For the past few days, Ryan always come back home with some homework to do. And he will have his first exam on 12 May next month.I have to put more effort and let him practice more in recognize the words especially the mandarin words.(since I am a banana...I have a difficulty to teach Ryan in Mandarin...my hubby is our rescuer).
Ryan has no problem in counting and recognizing alphabets & numbers.
Pray hard that Ryan will do well in his exam next month......!!

First Day school....

After having a break for one week,Today 21 March 2011 is the first day school for Ryan.Last night, I told him that tomorrow morning has to wake up early and wear uniform to school,then he told me " mummy, don't want go school "..oh..when I heard him said so..I was thinking, will he cry tomorrow morning when I wake him up to school.
But lucky this morning, he did not make any noise when daddy wake him up for milk and get ready for school.
What happened is.... I overslept till around 7.05...actually I set my alarm at 6am,but then I switched it off and continue go back to my dreamland for another 1 hour...I was jumping down from my bed when suddenly I really the sky is getting brighter..oh no....I was late !!

Not to wait further,faster get ready all my routine morning activities and by 7.45am, we went out from school and of course, Ryan was bit late to school today. I felt happy when he never showed me a sad face and joined his friends for the singing session,He even waved BYE BYE to me... Good boy !!
And the whole morning, I couldn't wait to pick him up from school and wanted to know how he is doing at school today, the teacher told he,Ryan was doing fine...I felt happy..!!

Another two more weeks...Ryan will be having his another break from school (my own holiday break) as we are travelling back to my hometown...start counting my days........another 14 days to go.

Parent-Teacher Meeting Day

Yesterday 11th March 2011 was the first parent-teacher meeting day for Ryan's school and I was scheduled on 8.20am slot. I arrived on time and waited for my turn as the teacher was engaged with another parent.
I was pleased to know that Ryan is doing good in the class, so far, he can cope well with his work given by the teacher and I saw some of the work books that he did at school and art crafts.
How fast the time flies..Ryan has been attending this new school for more than 2 months.
And this coming week, Ryan will have 1 week of school holiday. We do not have any holiday plan for this school holiday.
But next month , Ryan will have a school break on his own as we are going back to Medan for
short holiday trip.
Of course for me, I can't wait for this day to come...I have been missing home badly.
Medan....here we come.....very soon!!

Ryan's school update

After holiday for one week during CNY celebration,last Monday Ryan started his school again.
I was so worried that he may refuse to go to school after resting for one week, but lucky he did not. The only thing,Ryan has to sleep more earlier before 10.30pm on weekdays as the next day he has to wake up early for school.
Today has been the third day Ryan go to school, overall he is still doing fine,only when I waved 'goodbye' to him, Ryan showed me a sad face and tears shed down,but he did not cry so bad.
I did asked the teacher about Ryan's performance at school.....Glad to know that he can mix around with his friends now.
I just hope Ryan can adapt well at this new school....
