I corrected your breast stroke & reminded you to ensure your hands move just near the surface so that your body wouldn't sink in so much. We also learn the basic which is swimming straight with a board. While lying down on the bed tonight, you asked what if one day you fall sick when you are away from home i.e. in college. I said then you will have a room-mate to help care for you. You asked what if you are home sick. Can you come home and visit us? I said yes. I said ride on a bus to go back home every weekend last time. So a lot of money was spent on buying bus tickets.

Notes on I believe in you. You have high perseverance. You always keep on trying and dare to take risk. You are independent.

We were on 13 hours bus ride from Penang to KL. You learnt to sleep in the bus by yourself with C and she helped to look after JK when I go to the toilet.

After our Penang trip, you seem to be more independent & tough. During the long journey, you had to endure being hungry, tired and not having a comfortable place to sleep. I was sitting with JK and daddy on the other side. Mummy was feeling nausea due to lack of food. I kept the food for you, C and JK because I was afraid we couldn't stop for food.

I brought choc moist cake from secret recipe to daycare to celebrate your birthday. This morning you complimented mummy for making good choices as all my clothes fits me perfectly well. The other day you said I matched your clothes really well too. You like me to wear my white top and white pants. You also like me to wear jeans.

Today it's your first day of science camp. You nap at day care without any of our pillows. You successfully learn how to sleep without your favorite pillows and learn how to find the right position to fall asleep. That's an achievement.

You used the word whimpering and I'm impressed. That's the output from your reading.

You have turned into a happy girl ever since you joined your new school. Even though I just lecture you for loosing your bottle, never shower whole day and never brush teeth. You laughed when l said the cooling button on the hair dryer puts out fire if your hair becomes too hot. Previously, after a lecture, you usually would still be upset.
You are more mature and love didi more. Today, you cuddle him and kissed him. I haven't seen this sort of act since when he was still a baby. I'm really happy when both of you show affection towards each other.

You said Ryan asked you to go out of the class to the bag area. You asked him to tell what he wanted to tell. He closed his mouth with both hands and then opened to utter "I Love You" so quickly before he ran back into the class.
In the car on our way home from condo, you told me Ryan touched your back to help you to climb up the slope. You told him you were fine and asked him to go do other things. Then he said he didn't have anything else to do. Hahahaha....
At night, you asked why Ryan loves you. I said it's our body's chemical reaction. When they are close to the right body that matches, then that person will think it's love.
I told you that it's normal to have someone telling you that he/she loves you. You said having Ryan to love you is useful. I was shocked. "USEFUL"? I can't believe my ears. I asked why do you say it's useful? You said if you are in trouble he will be there to help you. Hahaha!!
I asked you if you did play at school today. You said yes. You also went to the library for awhile. then you said..hmm...tomorrow maybe you will spend sometime with Jacelyn then maybe spend some time with Ryan. Then you continued saying..."I don't know...I'm not sure yet....Hahahahhaha!!!!

8 years & 9 months old - 14 July 2016 First School Trip

It's your first school trip today & I'm thinking about you since I left you at school. I let you keep your GPS watch in your bag just incase you needed to call me. I know this is against teachers advice that is to pass it to her when you see her but I'm just too worry.

I couldn't sleep last night thinking about what else I should remind you when you're out there without me. I wrote few reminders on a piece of paper and put it in a plastic A4 sheet protector so you can read to remember not to leave your partner and group member, not to walk alone, wipe your hands before touching your food etc.

You packed your own extra clothes and stomach ache oil (Ruyi Oil and Minyak Cap Kapak) into JK's small monkey bag. Initially you didn't know which bag to take along. Then you finally chose JK's little bag. You didn't want to take your Rilakuma bag because you think it's too big. I let you have RM20 to buy KFC for lunch because that's what is written in the itinerary for lunch at 12:30pm.

When you came back from the trip, you said some of your friends had stomach ache so luckily you brought ruyi oil & you're the only one who has it. You said your teacher, Ms Mayes had migraine so you passed her the "Minyak Cap Kapak" to apply on her head. For lunch, all of you had KFC. You didn't drink the ice lemon tea because you didn't like it. You sat with Crystal because she said you're her best friend and best friend forever. She told you before the trip, which is the day after your class performance on the 27th June.

On 27th June 2016, after your performance with your friends on the stage, I manage to speak to Crystal's mum. After she took a picture of Crystal, Jacelyn and you together, I told her that both of you sits together for lunch every day. The next day, you told me you have a good news. You said that Crystal said you're her best friend and also her best friend forever. I congratulated you & felt very happy for you.

You said sometimes Crystal will hug you from the back & so you did the same to her. So sweet.
