School "Out" - 16 Nov - 31 Dec 2011

It's school "out" ! Been feeling pretty bad, not being able to take leave for this school holiday cos I have no more balance leave ! This is the period where I really feel like just not working and get fully engaged with him !

6 Weeks of school holiday basically I try to make sure at least once a week he gets to get out of the house and have some hands on.

Week 1 :

1. He continues on with Mindchamps till the end of November.
2. We went for Wowart Open House and he was simply enjoying himself to the max. Being his first visit to the school, he has no anxiety at all when I told him that I have to leave him with the teacher and go over to next door to attend a briefing. He acknowledged and I went back after the session to see a happy Xavier, spontaneously working on his project happily !

This was his completed project; Christmas Wreath

Week 2 : Started his holiday programs at Wowart. Did his clayframe making (I have yet to see the final product though) and did his Batik Painting. Thanks Jas for the pics !


Week 3 : Have signed him up for "Lights, Camera, Action" @ Zoophonics ! No problem with leaving him there as he has on and off asking me to bring him back to the school. He remembers that he used to attend classes there and the teachers remember him too ! Feedback given to
Don were very positive !

Week 4 - Week 5 : He shall continue with the weekly holiday workshops with Wowart. I may consider signing him up for term lessons in Jan 2012.

Apart from holiday workshops, as usual he has his fair share of going for Meet and Greet sessions in the malls. His latest craze was Hi-5 after Toybox Singapore. Yes even the daddy joined in and got "high". Imagine dear waited for the crowd to clear, went up to the cast manager and requested for Hi-5 cast to pen their signatures on the photograph !

He went to catch Chugginton @ Marina Square too !

Angry Bird @ Taka and of course now awaiting his favourite "Thomas and the fat controller" from 14 Dec onwards.

Next Friday will be bringing him to Babies Prom 2011 ! Hope he appreciates better this year !

Last two weeks of Dec going to be a busy one ! With two wedding dinners, two gatherings @ our place and several other meet up with dear's friends and mine as well !

Looking forward to the boys' Christmas shoot this weekend !!

Standard Chartered Marathon 2011

This year, Xav participated in a world class marathon together with daddy. Daddy went for his 42km while Xav went for his 750m fun dash under my accompany.

The lil' marathoners !

Ready to start !!

He's all ready !!!!

He ran and ran non stop !

Though I saw that he was tired but he didnt give up nor ask me to carry him ! I spurred him on telling him he was doing great ! On and off I encouraged him by holding his hand and ran together ! He was thrilled that I told him that he is going to reach the finishing line !

He gave the supporters who were cheering by the sides a "Five" when he ran past them !

My champs who completed their 42km and 750m dash !


See how he negotiated for more 100 plus after the run.

They are trying to tell you, if they can do it, so can you ! Am proud of them to have completed the run ! Looking forward to the next SCM in 2012 !!
