Mouse Track

17 June 2011


The kid is now using the mouse correctly - that is positioning his hand and fingers correctly to click and able to move and position the cursor.

Natural Style Hair-Cut

15 June 2011

Eugene had his 1st professional hair-cut here but I wasn't too pleased with it.

And so this time round, I told the gal that I want his hair layered - the gal called it the 'natural look' hair-cut. Ok, so long as it's not 'beng'.

Definitely much better.

er, you will notice that the fringe's not so evenly layered - well, my fault. I was cutting his fringe a couple of weeks before. He suddenly moved and a whole chunk of the fringe got cut off! Luckily I can always gel his fringe back a bit, otherwise can really see a 'lobang' there.

Space Camp @ FasTracKids

13 June - 17 June 2011

Decided to enrol Eugene for a 1 week 'Space Camp' during the school holidays.

Just nice that this camp was about space and planets as Eugene is fascinated by the night sky with stars and the moon.

The kids get to draw on the interactive board.

 

Lessons on space and colouring the astronauts.

Eugene, on his own accord, got out of his chair and waited for his turn in donning the astronaut suit.

Astronaut Eugene!

Playing with his new classmates after the lesson.

In one lesson, the teacher said to imagine that there are twinkling stars in the sky and switched off the classroom's lights, Eugene while looking up to the ceiling, commented : wah, so nice!

The assistant teacher was very tickled by it that he can really imagined it.

The last lesson had a baking session. 

This is the 1st time that Eugene is 'baking'.

Tada! well, don't know which one Eugene did as all the cookies were baked together and given out.

The projects that the kids did besides learning about the planets.

DAY 1

 

DAY 2

- differentl phases of the moon and yes, that's a macaroni moon!

DAY 3

- hot air balloon

DAY 4

- the Sun

 

 DAY 5

 +

BAKING COOKIES

Overall, Eugene had a good time. 

I didn't want to enrol him for any enrichment classes. No need to stress the kid so early - I'm sure he'll be stressed when he goes to mainstream school which I hope by then the government would have a more interactive syllabus.

So this class was purely fun for Eugene.

Bob The Builder @ Millenia Walk

11 June 2011

Sis-in-law told us that there are some public Bob-The- Builder shows at Millenia Walk.

 Waiting for the show to start. As usual, always lying down on the floor.

 He's very 'manja' lately. Ultra 'sticky' too. A passing phase, I hope.

Wow! Bob and his Gang LIVE! 

 Catchy music.

 Great lively show for the kids.

Eugene really enjoying himself. 
Excuse the shaky video - bought a new camera and trying it out. 
First time using a zoom lens and as you can tell, very rough zooming :(

Eugene likes to look at water-falls.

 

 Came across this and donated $10.00 and Eugene gets to paint.

This volunteer guy actually sat with Eugene througout the time that Eugene was painting.

He was very patient and was guiding Eugene on how to use the brush and how to paint.

But Eugene is too young..........

 and so VAN GOGH

became

SingKids Playground @ Changi Airport T3

29 May 2011

Heard that there're some new playgrounds at Changi Airport and off we went to check it out.

There's a bouncing castle at departure level but there was a long queue and we didn't want to wait.

We went down to the basement and we saw a play area called SingKids.

There's a big area for older kids and a smaller area (directly opposite) for the younger ones.

Kind of pricey though - $18.00 for one hour and must wear socks. Ended having to buy socks from them at $1.00 per pair for Eugene, hubby and me. Only one guardian can accompany the kid and so hubby and I took turns to accompany Eugene.


The big kids' area. Eugene didn't play on most of it.

The small kids' area.

He liked the slide .....

and balls........  now, I must say that a guardian must be in there to keep an eye on the kid if your kid is still a toddler or if he's short.

The balls area is very well padded and soft, even I had a hard time steadying myself.

When Eugene fell or laid down, he got all covered by the balls and sometimes he had trouble trying to get up and out. Once, he couldn't get up and he sank deeper down and all the balls started to cover him. I could see he was getting a bit panicky and I quickly have to grab him and pull him up.

and he loved chasing the balloons!

and then we saw the tall, huge slide......

Hubby : Eugene, would you like to go on this slide?

Eugene : YES!

Me : No way! he's too little !!!!

Hubby : not the highest one, the lower slide....

Me : no, no, no!

Not giving up, hubby sauntered over to the entrance. 

Hubby : Hey, can accompany the kid down. Ok, I will accompany Eugene down the slide. 

Me : ok, if you are with him.

WHERE'S THE KID????????

Hubby smiling sheepishly and pointed that Eugene had gone down by himself.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Is he going to be alright? 
There he is! sliding down.....

coming out of the slide ............ mommy, I want to go again and yes, he had a go again - all by himself......

I asked hubby what happened and hubby said that when he asked Eugene if he wants daddy to accompany him or go down by himself - Eugene said that he want to go down on his own.

I guess looking at all the other kids who went down by themselves, he wanted to do it on his own too. But the other kids were bigger and older than him ! I was really worried then. But all's well, ends well. He had a good time.
