Kay Kay Badminton After 3rd Class

Date:  Apr 5, 2015

It is amazing to watch the Kay Kay grew up so fast.

Especially with the help of his brother Jay Jay.  He has grown to a fine young boy. 

He knows what he wants.

He wants to learn badminton.

And he gets his chance to join the badminton class.

He seems to love to play badminton.

A passion that is much more than his brother has.

This is how it looks after the 3rd class at Singapore badminton school @ Clementi.  3 weeks ago, he does not even touch badminton racquet.

I think he is doing well.

 And this is his friend in the badminton class.  An Indian boy who has taken the lesson for almost 2 terms.  And he is very good.  So, Kay Kay says he wants to be as good as him.

2 days before.  Uncle Rusdi takes the time to train him.

And he increases his ball sense.

He is trained to hit the ball to the target area during that training.

 1-Day ago.  He asked me to bring him down to train his serving.

And he can finally serve the ball over the net.

And the more I played with him, the more I enjoyed learning that his skill has grown up day by day.

One day, he will be like his brother like that.   Good in sport.

That is why we started to expose him to all kind of sports.

Kays First Students Recital Performance

Date:  March 22, 2015

This is my younger son, Kay Kay.

Today, he is going to go up stage to perform what he has learned from the Piano class.

Yup, it is his first “100 Stages Students’ Recital” performance.  

I think he started to learn Piano from Cristofori since end of 2014.

It is hard work for parents as we need to pick him up and sent him to class.  So, on Wednesday, he always comes home late at 7:30pm because of the 30 minutes piano class.

Influenced by his brother, Jay Jay.  He started to like Piano.  One day, he come back from school and tell mommy he wanted to learn piano.

That is how he got into this piano.

Take note, still, Mommy and Daddy has not played piano before when we were young.  And I don’t think we have much musical instinct in our cells.

So, the kids have to learn on their own, and pick up piano from the class on their own.

Today will be the Recital performance.  So, he has been practising hard at home.

He actually can perform without the music CD.  Let’s take a look.  This is 10 minutes before the performance.

Very playful.

Because Jay Jay has to go to the Golf School later for Monthly competition.  So, the school have arranged him to be the first one to performance.  No pressure at all.

Since this is his very first performance the teacher insists he follows the music CD.  Teacher says he always practice in school using the CD.  I told the teacher, but he practice at home without the CD.  But then, it was decided to let him follow the CD.

He is pretty serious when he performs.  Don’t you think?  HaHaHaHa… I seldom see that kind of serous face.

And he got a certificate from his teacher Jay.  Yeap, the teacher is the same name as Jay Jay.  That is why he is willing to learn from teacher Jay.  Because of this same name.  HaHaHaHa...

Well done Kay Kay!

So shy.  Receiving his certificate from teacher Jay.

All the students who performed yesterday.

OK.  What a relief.  Drink lots of water.  Eat the sushi.  Well done Kay Kay!

Copy The Diary

Date:  Apr 1, 2015

It’s going to be tough.  

But let’s try it and see how it goes.

Every week, we want Jay to copy and write some Chinese some diary articles.

The good thing about this is to practice and practice writing Chinese.

All these are short writings but all the words are common words.

This is a bit like sight words.

So, in our opinion, the more you write the more you familiar, the more you will write spontaneously.

In his last Assessment test, Jay complaint he has no time to do the comprehension in Chinese.  And part of the reason is he writes too slow.

This is a book I bought from Taobao.

This is another book.  The important thing is to let them get used to ??

A sample of what he is copying.

Do it everyday. And hopefully he will benefits from it.  He will not understand why.  But soon, and in Secondary school, he shall know.
