The 'magic' spectacles

One day, we got our eyes checked in school. I couldn't see what they're asking us to read, and I cried. Many of my friends cried too. The person who checked us consoled us, saying that it's ok. We'll be able to see again after Mommy got us a pair of nice spectacles. I brought home a note with my prescription power that day.

After I got my pink spectacles, I was amazed. "Wow, Mommy, the white board is so much clearer now!". It's like magic! 

Mommy said I look like an old maid... bad Mommy

Oh, luckily I didn't need to wear it for long. Read here if you're interested to find out more!

Primary 1

Not even 1 month after I turned 6, I started Primary 1.

Did you noticed my hairstyle? We have to tie it that way if we want to keep our hair long. Mommy is still learning to make it nicer & neater

I am SIX!

This year, I had a small celebration at home as it's the school holidays. Daddy was on business trip during my lunar birthday, so Amah cooked mee suah for me, and Mommy took us kai kai. We had my favourite froggy meal  and kok kok beh ride on the eve, and then a shopping trip on the actual lunar birthday.

I had a little hair-do from Amah on my 6th lunar birthday

On my amoh birthday, Daddy and Mommy took half day leave to celebrate with us. Daddy gave me the privilege to decide on our lunch venue. I was toying between "Snoopy" and the Spaghetti place   (coz Juin Juin wanted to eat spaghetti), but when we passed this steamboat place, I made my choice right away. This is also the same place that we went to celebrate after our graduation concert.
