Say Goodbye to Nanny Jennifer

Since mommy decided to go back to work on last April after two years of resting at home, Shenny had to go back to her normal daily routine - mommy drops her off at school around 8am and then pick her up in evening before 7.30pm.   

Recent year, her school had changed its daycare closing time from 7.30pm to 7pm.  It was impossible for either mommy or papa to rush from work to get her before 7pm.  Therefore, a nanny, Jennifer living nearby school compound was seek to come to assist.  Shenny called her as "Auntie Jennifer".  She would come to pick Shenny around 6pm.  Shenny would take shower and had a simple meal at her home while waiting for mommy and papa to come.

After five months of taking care of Shenny, auntie Jennifer decided to quit because she wanted to help her son in business instead. 

Shenny presented these two drawings to auntie Jennifer on her last day.  Auntie Jennifer was very surprised to see Shenny's drawing.  Before leaving, Shenny thank auntie Jennifer again and not forgetting to give her a big hug.  Mommy could see little tears lingering in nanny's eyes at that moment.

Now, Shenny has switched to new nanny, Chris.

Here are the drawings (quite plain because no time to do coloring):

Her Music Teacher's Birthday

Teacher Nicole held a simple birthday celebration with all her kids in music centre two weeks ago.   And Shenny made a special drawing for her on that day too.

Here are few pictures taken on that day:

All kids were trying their best to blow the candle to see who can hit the "jackpot."

Oops, look like Shenny's birthday too..:)

Why We Sing

A very backdated post.
This was one of songs presented in Heart & Soul Charity Concert.

Shenny picked up this song from her teacher Kelly before the concert.
Teacher Kelly sang one time to her and then papa found the similar song in youtube for her. Then, Shenny learnt to sing the song and tried to play the song by ear based on her own understanding immediately after the concert.

Ballet Test Result

Finally, we received Shenny's ballet's Pre-Primary assessment form.
She sat for the test in last May. You may click here to know more.

Their Love Affair

Shenny and her cousin, Jie Hang

Today, Shenny had her cousin, Jie Hang (2 year older than her) accompany us for dinner.
Over the dinner, these two fellows talked about their love affair.

Here were roughly the content of their conversation:

Shenny began with this: "Now, I have two boy friends to choose, don't know who to choose."
Cousin (tried to tease): "Not sure the boy really like you."
Mommy: "Shenny told us the boy had admitted Shenny as his girl friend in school, even their teacher know about it." Cousin laughed.
Mommy: "I thought you also have a girl friend. What is her name?" Cousin laughed again.
Cousin:"You don't know?"
Mommy:"Ah Yi is old.. can't remember well. Tell us."
Cousin:"X X X (the girl's name). I chased her since I was 5 year old. I find it hard (我追得很辛苦）. She never says she likes me. I am not sure whether she likes me."
Shenny quickly add: "I also begin to have boy friend at 5 year old."

Gosh...mommy and papa laughed and shaked our head, don't know what to say now.

The Obedience Dragon

Few years ago, Shenny verbally told her imaginative story by looking at a white cardboard when she was 3 year 10 month old (please click here to view.)
But recently, she was able to write down her imagination story on a piece of paper.

Shenny was concentrating write her story.

Let's see what she wrote in her story.

Please click to enlarge the picture.

In this story, she only asked mommy and papa for the spelling of one word 'magnificent', rest of words she wrote herself.
Then, mommy checked with her, why she knew spelling of 'obedience' (which is kind of big word to mommy', she said she learnt that from her headmaster in school.

Here comes Shenny retell her story.  



(p.s. Shenny tried to hide reverse side of paper which she thought was not nice)

L'Heure Musicale

Shenny, papa and mommy were invited by teacher Kelly (Shenny's 1st music teacher) to attend a classical concert L'Heure Musicale (means The Time Music) at Alliance Francaise De Kuala Lumpur on 27th August 2011, which teacher Kelly organized.  It was a truly international evening as audiences are Malaysian, French, The Netherlands, Hong Kong and Japan.
This concert was very special because the performers were all teacher Kelly's teachers; Mr Joseph Leow as tenor, Mr. Fairuz as pianist, Dr. Takahisa Ota as flautist and Mr. Stanley Chin (Shenny's 2nd music teacher (Nicole)'s hubby) as guitarist. Songs presented were mixture of french and english songs.  All were so heart-capturing, refreshing and relaxing.

It was an eye-opener for Shenny.  As she could see tenor sang accompanied by various musical intruments separately.
 
Teacher Kelly also asked four students of hers (3 girls &1 boy, included Shenny) to present flowers to performers.  Shenny was chosen to carry flower for Stanley. 
Shenny jokingly told mommy that teacher Nicole told her ..."Teacher Stanley should carry me, instead of carry flower".

We truly enjoyed the whole concert.  Thanks for teacher Kelly inviting us.

Here is the last song (Bird Songs at Eventide - Eric Coates (1886-1957) presented in the concert recorded by papa:

Shenny on stage presented flowers.

Adeline's Villa

This is another very backdated post too.

Few months ago, Shenny and mommy joint papa department's trip to stay overnight at Adeline's Villa in Gopeng, Perak. Shenny was excited when papa told her that she would have chance to do jungle tracking and to dip in waterfall.

On that day, we woke up very early because we need to meet up papa's other colleagues in Rawang around 8.30am. And then, we would depart together. We need to reach our destination before 12.30pm because our lunch would be served at 12.30pm by the villa's owner, Adeline.

Shenny liked this 2day1night trip because there were more than 20 of papa's colleagues to play with her.  All of them were very nice to her and she could mingle well with them too.

Welcome to Adeline's Villa.

Papa's colleagues queue to get food.

We were arranged to stay in this little cottage,
only 3 of us.

Shenny walked up to check where papa's colleagues stay.

Papa's colleagues stayed in these two cottages
, each accommodated about 12 persons. 

Shenny was invited to bounce on bed.

The waterfall we visited.

Cooling herself at waterfall.

The little girl (papa's colleague's daughter) kept on asking Shenny to accompany her to play sea-saw till Shenny felt very tired and boring liao..
