Parents Teacher Meeting Sem 1 P3

Yesterday we had parents teacher meeting for this semester.
I have been ready to give him a lecture after parents teacher meeting because his result for term 2 is not as good as term 1 and worse than P2.
But in my surprise, I received some compliments from the teacher.

First, his english is actually above average eventhough he got grade 2, but there's improvement from term 1 since most of his friends are in grade 3 for this term.
Maybe his oral and confident in speaking help him a lot.

As for math, he's slightly below average thought but he's still in the normal range.
His teacher said that during practice, he's quite okay but his exam is not as good as during practice so there may be some factors influence it and one of them is words problem. It can pull down the mark very much.

For science, the teacher said that he can be pushed a little bit to achieve grade 1 since he's good in understanding and knowing concept but he's weak in apply it into the questions.
He needs more practice in process skills.

Overall, his teachers are pleased with his result and his behaviour.
He is one of favourite boys in class, everyone is attracted to him hahaha....

As for Chinese, the laoshi is disappointed with him because he's not concentrate during the class.
He loves to talk with his friends in english during chinese class.
As the result, his chinese is just PASS.
Laoshi said that he's clever boy if he focus and concentrate in the class and she asked him to read chinese book 5 minutes each day so that he's familiar with the words and reading.

Well eventhough mama is a bit disappointed with the result, but hearing it from the teachers that it's getting harder than P2, I can accept that.
Hopefully he's willing to focus and work hard for next semester.

Jia you !!

Happy Mother's Day 2018

This year we celebrated Mother's Day a day earlier on Saturday, 12 May 2018
We had family brunch at hidden cafe at the foot of Fort Canning Hill - The Fabulous Baker Boy.

We ordered big breakfast, granola oat with yoghurt and pancake with chocolate chips.
The food were delicious and we all love it.

On Sunday, Richie spent time together with mommy watching Infinite Wars - Marvel Avengers

It's kinda long overdue date

The Shack Movie

Few weeks ago, we as family watched this movie "The Shack" at our parish church.
The movie was incredible good and mama decided to write in this blog so that Richie may watch it in the future when he's grown up.

The synopsis :
After suffering a family tragedy, Mack Phillips spirals into a deep depression that causes him to question his innermost beliefs. Facing a crisis of faith, he receives a mysterious letter urging him to an abandoned shack in the Oregon wilderness. Despite his doubts, Mack journeys to the shack and encounters an enigmatic trio of strangers led by a woman named Papa. Through this meeting, Mack finds important truths that will transform his understanding of his tragedy and change his life forever.

The message that mama received from this movie :
1. Our purpose of life is to be loved and to love
We are created as God image which God's nature is Love, so each of us is called to love as God loves us.
If we are fail to love or feel to be loved, there's must be something wrong within us. Perhaps it's painful experience, betrayal etc so we must come back to the source of Love and trust God to heal and renew us

2. Are we God ?
Eventhough we are God's perfect creation, we are not God. However because of the original sin from Adam and Eve, we like to take God's role to be God. We love to judge the good and the bad.
Unfortunately what we thought is good sometimes it clashes with other's good and end up the world becomes so chaotic

3. Our Future is with God
Without Him, we won't have future. We can't do everything by ourselves

4. Let it Go
To come back to our original call, we need to let go our pain and learn to forgive those who hurt us because God also loves those who hurt us and by forgiving them, we also setting them free so that God can redeem them from the evil

Hopefully, when he's grown up, he can watch this movie again and find other meanings that come alive in his life
