Chinese Enrichment Class

After the Teacher / Parent Meeting Session, we realised that our Babe is relatively weak in her Chinese, especially Hanyu Pinyin. We had totally not exposed her to Mandarin at all, other than those lessons in Nursery and Kindergarten.....

And words of advice from her Chinese Teacher was..... "please communicate with her more in Mandarin".... We felt guilty, as we were partly responsible, as we always felt Chinese wasn't so important, especially if she may not be doing her Secondary School education in Singapore.... But again, she's still got 6 more years to go before PSLE, and we didn't want her to suffer and feel demoralised and handicapped because of her Mandarin.....

So, without much hesitation and after having done our surveys, we decided to enrol her for Chinese Enrichment class .... Let's hope we will see improvements in her Mandarin. Will update my blog on this a few months later.....

Babe's 1st Baking Lesson


Today my Babe went for her very 1st baking class.... she had been bugging me to send her for baking classes for 2 years, but somehow I didn't... couldn't remember for whatever reason though....

So this time she was extremely excited when I told her I had enrolled her for baking class at Bakerzin at UE Square.... this session, she learnt to bake chocolate chip butter cake.

Look at the sparkle in her eyes!!!


OOPS!!! Caught Amanda in action!!!



Amanda has graduated from the baking class.....

Amanda's sweet creation..... oh by the way, it tastes fantastic!

Did you notice she made 1 special cake with the word "I love MAMA"?... We were celebrating mum's birthday that night and she specially made 1 cake for her beloved grandma.... nothing for mummy though..... :(
