fathers' day celebration

4 fathers coming tgether. and that was a celeb gathering at chow's place.

food was aplenty. i regretted for not having tried more....esp the asparagus wrapped with ham and the dessert. i told hubby that i would boil the 'chuan bei' soup myself. i loved it!

well, i was assisting mebelle with her 3 challenging math questions, with 2 aptly done after trying so hard to focus in the midst of the crowd's chatter. haha. the
3rd question on ratio/ algebra was solved with the help of steph, as she has understood the question better than me. her skill in reading long sentences and focus ability was confirmed, unlike joy who just said,"i dunno hw to do leh!"

well, we carried out our general knowledge quiz session. steph and gillian formed an unformidable team too. well, of coz, at their age, they sure would be one edge higher.

but the whole idea of the quiz session was just for bonding purpose and for one to learn from another. nicky was his usual funny self. at one stage, they were asked to sing nursery rhymes to get their 2 points score.

everyone had an easy time except for joanna who claimed that she knew no nursery rhyme. only 'abcd...'! aiyo, poor kid!

so, the hmewrk assignments for the 4 cuzzies who were having sleepover at chow's place last nite were:-

1) to teach joanna a nursery rhyme (and i heard the girls telling her to learn 客人来, haha)

2) mebelle to teach the girls a dance ready for x'mas presentation (she was all excited about it, and i thot it's the best way to bring out her confident self!)

3) claire to guide megan in her math questions since the latter indicated that she had not done well for section (c) this time round (claire was exuberant about the task, afterall she could be megan's 小老师!)

4)for megan, it was to ensure that every kid plays along well and have a good time hanging out in her big room.

clearly, i felt that the girls were growing up.

i like it when joanna said,"ya, sometimes, we dun agree on things or we have slight arguments. but we make up quickly!"

mebelle said,"claire is a fantastic cousin. we can do so much things together. it's so rare for us to meet and have a sleepover!"

megan's response,"i waited for 6mths to have a sleepover. if i dun hv it now, then i gonna wait for some more mths."

even on boobies' matter, jo and claire confessed that they would continue to share same shower room, even when they grow up. apparently, they aren't shy about their physical body developments. how nice to see them bond that way!
