Year end concert

Ok.. her concert was on 12th Nov but since I haven't started blogging yet, I thought it'll be good to back-date some important events :p

When we decided to let her participate in the concert, we have zero expectations of what she can achieve on stage. We tried to get her to show us her 'moves' without much success. At times we find her looking into the mirror doing some dance steps and we'll wonder if that's what she has been practising in school.

On the 12th, DH & I were so excited. We could finally see her performance after the l-o-n-g wait. We got our video cam & digi cam all ready for this big day. She was one of the last to went up on stage (the intro portion) and was in the first performance. They, being the youngest of the lot, did simple routines to 3 short songs.

They were simple moves but I feel so proud nonetheless. At that moment, I thought to myself, my Valerie has grown so much.. she is a big girl now.

Scratches

Took pictures of the scratches this morning. H/E, not many are still visible overnight as children skin heals very fast. I show the director of these scratches and he agreed that those are scratch marks.

He just called back, saying that they have checked the fingernails of all children belonging to her class and found that their nails are trimmed and could not possibly have caused those marks. When I heard I wasn't very happy and I replied that I have trimmed Valerie's fingernails lately too. And there has been no incidents of her scratching herself (other than from mozzie bites).

So he says the teachers will continue to monitor to see if they can find the reasons behind those scratches.

:-(

'Cat' fights in school?

Managed to go home earlier today. When I was home, I saw that Valerie has quite a few small marks scattered over both forearm. I tried asking her what are those marks, as usual, she either doesn't comprehend, unable to recall or refuse to acknowledge. Taojin said those are mozzie bites, but these marks are distinctively different from her usual mozzie bites.

I didn't think much about those marks until my MIL told me that she suspect they were scratch marks during dinner. She requested that I check with the teachers tomorrow to find out the cause of those marks.

Since Valerie started school in July, there has been no incidents of fighting nor biting (at least not that I know of). To be frank, I'm feel heartache to know that my Valerie has suffered physical attacks from other children. But I know this is inevitable as children are children.

In any case, I'll check with the in-charge tomorrow to see if they know what happened.

Sigh...

Black out

We experienced our 1st block out in the new house yesterday... 6 months after we shifted in. Not sure what trigger the trip coz it was like 3am in the morning and everyone was in slumberland. My DD was the 1st to realise the lack of electricity coz her beloved fan was not working! After 10 mins or so she was so frustrated from the heat she was throwing tantrums. Thankfully gong-gong managed to get the power back and the cool breeze from the fan slowly calms Valerie down and allow her to go back to zzzzzzz.

So today.. I'm a zombie.. due to lack of sleep & nagging headache.

Working late

Sigh.. I was hoping that I could at least leave by 730pm today and spend some time with Valerie. From the looks of it.. it'll be another 9pm day :-(

Closing, budget, audit, GST... I don't even know how to start..

Nagging cough

I don't know why but Valerie just can't seemed to shake off this nagging cough of hers. Last Monday I just spent S$107 on medical bills due to her persistant coughing. Dr Low said she has a slight asthmatic attack and neb her in his clinic. She was supposed to be on neb that week but as the machine was with my SIL, we only gave her the new puffs Dr Low prescribed. She seemed to have recover well despite the fact we didn't neb her, but yesterday night, the cough seemed to be coming back again. :-(

Guilty!

Ok.. I haven't been reading forum posting nor my fren's blog lately. Work is just killing me and my new found hobby is what's keeping me up late at night :p I'll try to be more 'hardworking' from today onwards ok?

Twinklets, Tigger, Batman, Krazy, Ming - Thank you ladies for sharing your blog with me. It's always so heartwarming to see how our children haven grown. :)

Photoshop Elements 6

To spend or not to spend. I've merely tried PE6 for less than 10 days before I did the system restore on my laptop (let's just forget about that unnecesary step). I tried re-installing the trial but it does work anymore.

I've now installed PE4 onto my laptop but it seemed that there is some compatibility issue, probably due to the fact I'm now using Windows Vista.

So, is this a good reason to spend S$100 on the new PE6? Hmmmm...

Jam pack!

I'm not sure why but the trains are completely jammed pack today! I wasn't early, nor late. I waited for the 3rd train before I could SQUEEZE myself in! As usual, the centre of the cart is spacious and no one wants to move an inch!

ARGH!

Name of blog

I guess some might wonder why "Fairyland" (I believe my DH will! lol). There is just this 'girlie' thing in me.. pretty things, the colour pink, hello kitty.. and this wish that I'm a princess waiting for my handsome prince and we'll live happily ever after :p

I guess I did met my prince and we are living happily since (or most part of it). And our icing to the cake? Our dear little Princess Valerie. What will our life be like without her? :-)

Ooooooooo.. I'm so addicted to digital scrapbooking!

I've finally done it!

Yes! I've finally decided to have a blog!! Not that I didn't try to before, but I'm just dumbfounded by the 'technicality' of managing one! One trip to the scripts and I'm gone! (lol) Another year later.. I'm back again.. hopefully for good.
