After hearing rave review from an ex-colleague about how her pre-schooler son benefitted from the programme, we enrolled Dana for Zoo-phonics lessons officially last month in March. Zoo-phonics is a whole brain approach developed to make children strong readers (and spellers) using “phono” (hearing), "oral” (speaking), “visual” (seeing), “kinesthetic” (moving), and tactile (touching) activities. What we like about Zoo-phonics Programme is that it capitalises on the … [Read more...]

I flew a kite!
Dana has been cooped up at home since her discharge so we decided to bring her out for some fresh air and outdoor play today. We headed for one of our fav places - the Marina Barrage!There, Dana flown the kite for the 1st time! Daddy got the kite up in the air (not without repeated tries as it was rather windy) and Dana took over to fly it for a good 10 mins or so despite the strong wind! We're so proud of our precious daughter; she has grown so much and becoming a little … [Read more...]
A glimpse of Dana’s 2nd Birthday Celebration…
On Good Friday, we threw an advanced Birthday Party for Dana. Never did we imagine barely 2 days after, Dana would be warded in the hospital for Kawasaki. Thank God for His healing hand and His wisdom on the medical team. Now that she's discharged, I finally can post an update on the party. It was exactly a week ago, when we were decorating the venue, storm clouds hovered over our heads and threatened to pour. Slight drizzle soon followed. Together with my hubby, we held hands at the … [Read more...]
Fighting Kawasaki on her 2nd Birthday…
Cutting her birthday cake in the ward.. On Easter Sunday, Daddy was supposed to serve in the Worship Ministry in church and we had planned to go to the House of God to celebrate Easter in our best dressed clothes but these plans never materialised. Early in the morning, when Dana's high fever cannot be subdued even with combination of paracetamol, ibuprofen and suppository given by our paediatrician, we knew something was very wrong and we rushed her immediately to the A&E … [Read more...]

Dana Tours HK Disneyland!
Dana's 1st trip to Disneyland! Over the March school break, Dana and I had an unexpected treat! We followed Daddy on his short working trip to HongKong. HongKong, being a busy cosmopolitan, land-scarce shopping paradise, is not unlike Singapore, hence it's not ranked as a top destination on our "Must Visit" places. However I must say this trip has given us pleasant new discoveries and insights why HK is such a popular holiday spot for … [Read more...]
