It's papa's birthday

Today is papa's birthday. Mama and I sang 'happy birthday papa' this morning. Papa only have a small cake but we still put a candle on it and sing to papa. We also don't have any 'presents' for papa so I decided to make one to give to him. I cut a square from my 'purple paper' to draw papa's face and write his name at the bottom. I said 'happy birthday' again to papa and gave my 'present'. Papa said thank you and it was very nice.


Mama said my birthday is in June and mama's name is in September. So I decided to make presents for mama and myself also.


We had dinner at the airport. The airport has a new building. Papa and mama call it Terminal 3. The airport is very nice. We had rice and vegetables at the Crystal Jade restaurant inside the airport. After dinner, I asked papa and mama to buy me a small toy. I bought a new Thomas the train set. Then we drive home because papa said he wants to watch 'American Idol'.

Me, Papam, and Mama in School

This morning, papam, mama and I are in school. I don't have school today but this day our teachers are meeting all papam and mama of all the children in school. The purpose of the meeting is for parents to get a chance to ask the teachers how their children are doing in school.

We met with Ms Angela and Ms Rose. We also met my Chinese teacher. Papam and mama took turns asking the teacher. I just sat there and listen to them, sometimes I laugh if I see them laughing too. Ms Angela looks happy telling papam and mama what I do in school. She said I get along with my classmates very well. That my classmates like me because I am very outgoing. I have a lot of friends in school, both boys and girls. Ms Angela showed papam and mama my book in school, she calls it portfolio. This book has some of my pictures when I am in school painting, eating, playing in the playground, sorting toys, and playing with my classmates.

Ms Angela said that I am a very happy child and laughing at almost anything. But I still have some problem sharing toys with other kids. I get upset when one of the children take my toys without asking for permission. Papam and mama are telling me to learn to share toys with other children.

These are some comments from my teachers that they put in my school book:

"Kristian is always eager and keen in doing Arts & Craft."

"Kristian is improving in his self-help skills. He is now able to hold the spoon the correct way. However, he needs to be reminded to hold his bowl with the other hand."

"Kristian is very focused while doing his work. He sometimes needs reminder on his grip."

"Kristian takes the initiative and is helpful when it comes to keeping the toys."

"He is also able to sort out the different toys into the respective boxes."

Some other comments are in Chinese. I'm still not good in Chinese so I can't write it here. But my teacher says I can repeat Chinese words very accurately.

We left the school at 11 in the morning to eat lunch. Mama said she's going to buy a Spiderman bed for me. I am very excited.

My First Blog

Hi, I am Kristian. This is my first blog. My papam decided to stop my other website because he said this is easier to update and has a better layout. I call him (my dad) "papam". I don't know why he doesn't like it, he always tells me to take out the "m" at the end. But I think "papa" is so common and overused, "papam" is unique. Anyway, I think I'll call him papa when he's around. Yes, that's me in the photo while waiting for my airplane going back to Singapore.

This morning was the first time mama is going to send me to school. Papam is talking on the phone, mama said he has an early meeting so she has to be the one to send me to school. I am excited because we're going to take the taxi (mama can't drive). We took a blue taxi to school. I was hoping we could ride a yellow taxi but I think only the blue ones are available today. Mama asked the taxi driver to wait for her at the school's parking lot while she walked me towards the school. She needed the taxi again to go to her office.

Mama can only send me up to the school's receiving area so I said goodbye to her before I walk inside the school's premises. Then suddenly the lights went off and then on again. Later in the afternoon, my papam and I found out that it was mama who made the lights to go off and on. She thought the switch is for opening the front door but turned out to be the main light switch. Oh my goodness, mama!
