News in Brief

Just got back from our holiday in Phuket. More on the trip when I have time to upload the photos into the computer. In the meantime, here's some news in brief:

Finally did the unthinkable and got a tutor to help Tai Pi with Chinese. What's good is that I don't have to worry so much about her Chinese anymore and no more feeling guilty about doing nothing. It's always the easiest way out - just pay for someone else to do the job for you.

Less than one week left of the school holidays and Tai Pi has not finished her homework, and not like she has much homework to begin with.

Oh and happy birthday to Kong Kong and Mama no.2!!!

Little Miss Fairy Tale

"It's the happiest day of my life!" declared Tai Pi today. She and Pumpkin have performed many times before at various school concerts but this was the first time in their lives they were giving individual performances. Taking part in the Little Miss Fairy Tale at the club's annual carnival, Tai Pi sang Trouble Sleeping by Corinne Bailey Rae - a very adult song and not quite the typical karaoke tune but she likes it and she does sing it pretty well. Pumpkin did a dance which she performed with her friends at her last school concert. They won consolation prizes for their effort and were very happy with their presents. Well done Tai Pi and Pumpkin!
