Amanda's First Pair of Spectacles & Karine's Birthday Party...

3 days ago (22 Feb), Amanda complained to me that she was not able to see clearly in school. I didn't believe her at first as she just had her eyecheck by the nurses in school a week ago! Nonetheless, on the very day, Daddy came back early and we decided to bring her for an eyecheck at his friend's shop. His friend said she has slight myopia and didn't need glasses. She was so disappointed! We had tea time at Liu San...
amanda's special chicken rice...
daddy's pig trotters mee sua...
and my taiwanese oyster mee sua... yummy!

Then again, in class she kept on complaining she still couldn't see... so tonight we decided to bring her to Mee Mee Optics to get a second opinion...
having her eyes checked... she was indeed myopic and even had astigmatism in one eye... gosh... so we decided to get her the specs... thank goodness, mee mee optics has their own lab and the specs could be ready within 30 minutes!
choosing her own specs...
couldn't decide on purple or red...
while waiting for specs to be ready...
we finally chose the purple specs....
my little darling is now myopic... how sad....

Random....  Amanda brought home some mealworms from school today. Apparently, she was tasked to take care of the worms for a week and bring them back to class after CA1....
my brave girl, who's not afraid of the mealworms at all...
her creation of the left over apples...

Happy 9th Amanda!!

Times flies... my little darling has turned 9 today... No celebration this year as her Continual Assessment is just round the corner, so we thought maybe it is not a good time to have a party since most of her friends would be busy preparing for the test... 

Today, she went to school as usual, but Kongkong and Mama were so sweet to drop by and buy her her favourite beehoon and roast pork from a stall near their house... and the moment she came out of the school gate, she received a birthday present from Aunty Janie.. She was elated!
thanking kongkong and mama over the phone...
