Music School Concert - Cheryl

Cheryl was enrolled for the Yahama Junior Music Course (JMC) run by Claris as this was available in our Taman. This is a two year course where a parent of the student sits in with the child for every lesson. Mummy had this pleasure, but Dad had to sit in for a few sessions when Mummy was indisposed.
The concert, 'An Evening With Claris 2006' organised by Claris at Flamingo Hotel in Ampang included all students enrolled in their schools. JMC students were roped in for the 'Percussion' contribution whereby Cheryl's class played the casternets. A practise session was held earlier in the afternoon.

It was a good and enjoyable evening of music and Cheryl thoroughly enjoyed the participation as these pics portray. Chastan too attended, but he, being a good boy he is, was not too difficult to control.

Pocoyo

This is Chastan's favourite cartoon. To the uninitiated, Pocoyo is the one in blue, the pink elephant is Ellie and Patto is the duck. Two other regular characters not in this picture are Loola, the dog and Sleepy Bird.

Pocoyo, in this cartoon series, would normally express his anger by folding his arms across his chest. Chastan too does it when he is angry. Is this type of gesture by Chastan, in expressing his anger, an influence by TV or is it natural?

Parents-Teachers Day

Today was Parents-Teachers Day at Cheryl's school, Midah Kindergarten. It was also the day to collect the report card.

In the 1st half year exams, Cheryl scored full marks in all papers and she was positioned joint 1st together with Lui Kok Leong and another of her classmates. However she lost a few marks in the year end exams which saw her drop to 2nd place in the overall results. Her classmate and same apartment friend, Kok Leong, maintained 1st position while her best friend in school, Sherryl Siah, retained her 3rd position.

Outing - Mines Wonderland - Cheryl

Today, Cheryl went on her 1st outing organised by her school, to Mines Wonderland. On the way to send Cheryl to school, Mum reminded her to listen to teacher and don't wander off on her own. At 1.00pm, we picked her up from school after the outing. In the car on the way to Selayang,

Mum: "So how was your trip?"
Cheryl: "Great"
Mum: "Did you go on the boat ride, the water taxi?"
Cheryl: "Yes, we wore life jacket"
Dad: "Did you go to the snow house?"
Cheryl: "Yes, but don't have snow, only ice and it was so slippery"
Cheryl: "And we wore jacket, so big jacket. Teacher also wore jacket. It was so cold inside"
Mum: "What did you eat?"
Cheryl: "Rice"
Mum: "Did you eat the rice?"
Cheryl: "No"
Mum: "So what else did you eat?"
Cheryl: "We had ice cream"
She looked so tired and dozed off in the car.
