1. No more milk intake in the school
2. Computer lessons
3. Phonics Lessons
4. Reading Programme

Wooo.. nowadays children are so poor thing... at the age of 4 years old, she has got so many to learn.... Education Level in Singapore is getting higher... They no longer have chance to be like when i was young, play and tv programme are all that we do.... I feel the stress for the kids nowadays.. Somehow, i still stand firm that at the young age, there should be childhood especially for those who are attending childcare and few hours lesson kind of activities. Imagine when the time that they are in the childcare, they are asked to be in lesson and when they are back, come on... give them a break.....

Somehow, i am not over anxious on Xinru, instead is my hubby is the one who keep telling her to watch lesser tv programme and play lesser toys and do writing.... Faint..... i can't stand it, its not that i am lazy to teach her... Everytime when he tells her that this and that, i will tell him that don't keep stressing on her.... She still has long way of learning to go.....

On the other hand, i don't mean that she need not have some learning activities at home.. Normally Xinru will automatically take her book out to practice her writing and do her own activities without the need to keep nagging her. This is the good thing about her, she is keen in learning and she learns things fast and i hope that she will maintain this attitude for her future.

Xinru has requested to take up ballet and has been talking about it, at the same time, she seems interested in keyboard too... I don't really like her to take up so much activities cause there must be time for play so will see how she cope in her Nursery and decide whether to let her take up the extra lessons...

Last night when she came back home, i ask her about her school and the way she mention, she seems normal about it. When i ask her about is there anyone drinking milk, she tell me one of her friend cause her teacher says that he is too skinny already.... Other than that, she also mention that she has got 1 new Malay friend who joined their class.
