Strange Phenomenon

Image
I am a single eyelid person and I discovered my single eyelid has transformed to double eyelid after my trip to US. look closely to the left But this transformation only applies to the left eye. My right eye has half of the "double eyelid" only. I don't know what to make up of this sudden transformation. My colleagues joked my skin had wrinkled too much over there to cause this phenomenon. But I guess this is what you would a good problem!

I'm hooked…

Never have I followed any Korean drama or pop stars. They are too hype for me. However, I caught a trailer of the popular "Descendants of the Sun" episode 1 in which Captain Yoo Si Jin made a move to pretty doctor Kang Mo Yeon. Captain was smooth and he's definitely a charmer. source However that was not the start of me being hooked to the show. I did not watch the drama until I happened to caught a link  for this show. It was already airing episode 5 when I started to watch. I have to admit for once, I am hooked to a Korean drama and it kind of brought me back to the teens years when I had a favourite superstar that I would "chase after". source The casting for this drama was excellent as well. Don't Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo made a very handsome/ pretty couple? source With only 2 episodes left and another 3 additional special episodes… I guess many would have a hangover and severe withdrawal symptoms when DotS come

Growing Up

Childhood in Singapore is abstract. The children nowadays count enrichment centres as part of their growing up years, which I think is sad. Having said that, the 2 boys are still put through Chinese enrichment classes with Berries and no plan to terminate their classes in near future. The children are put through accelerated learning in my opinion. They have to know their alphabets, their numbers 1-20 by K1 and this is very basic for a Kindergartener. As much as I try to balance learning, studying and playing, we still ended up buying new assessment books for the boys. The hubby felt that it is more structured this way for their "studying" hour. new books for Jonathan Not forgetting Matthew So now, our lesson time will consist of revision of Berries lesson, phonics (reading, writing) and Maths for the elder boy. example #1 of lesson for Jonathan writing & constructing sentences We usually need about 45minutes to complete one full study c
