A Busy Saturday!

The end of Continual Assessment 1 marks the start of fun and parties again! We started the day by picking up the girls - Bella and Shyan- for some shopping at Takashimaya. First stop - Kinokuniya. This is the best place to get some books on Liverpool for Ethan's birthday party on Sunday. The girls had lot of fun at the sticker section and each end up with stickers that smells like Strawberry! Tessa got all the girls excited when she suggested going to Artfriend to get some mulberry paint for the papyrus craft that they did in school. To their disappointment, Artfriend has discontinued the sale of Mulberry paint. The sales person suggested we get " Painting by number" instead. It is a craft that teaches the kid how to paint using number codes on the picture. It looked like a tedious task to me but the kids enthusiasm won me over and they each ended up with a set.

We spent one hour doing the craft at my place and my skepticism was proven right. It was not easy and the girls lost their interest after an hour! I hope they will keep their promise of completing it another day!

Then it was time to send Shyan back home to her Pin Yin class before attending Jeremy's party with the kids at Mcdonalds. It was a weird party for a 3 yr old boy when all the guests are mostly primary school kids!. Nonetheless, I had a great time catching up with Liana and Amanda. The shaker fries was really good too!

It was back to reality at night as Tessa had to complete her Chinese Composition homework on Power Point and email it to her teacher. With my help on sentence structures and her love for clipart, I thought she did a decent job....check it out!

What a busy Saturday! I am ending the day now by having some bonding time with Jacob - watching the Arsenal- Sunderland game on our newly installed mio TV! Tomorrow will be another busy day with church, another powerpoint presentation to do and Ethan's party!
