Yesterday while sending my boys to kindy, their class teacher told me, she would like to see me today and do the report review for my two boys on the half year progress. I'm a bit worried and excited also, this is the first time i'm going to sit down with the teacher to talk about my sons progress in school. Although, sometime she see me in the morning she will do some comment on my sons.
I didn't tell my boys i will go to their school today to see their teacher. This morning, while bring them into the class, i take off my shoe and follow them in, two of them got a shock and keep ask me "why mummy come to my school??" Then two of them keep smilling and take out their breakfast that i prepare for them and put their bags in the "pigeon hole" then walk to the table and sit there to have their breakfast. hahahhahahhahahhaha This is the first time i see my boys behave so well and suddenly they look so big boys. They sit there quietly eat their breakfast and on off give me a sheepish smile, while i still wait for my turn to see the teacher.
Not long after, it's my turn, i told my boys i'm going to see their teacher, Cruz told me he want to follow i said cannot. In the room, first thing the teacher told me is "your boys are very interesting". I know what she means, because my boys like to "play/switch" their character. Sometime the teacher will tell me Cruz's reading is good, but today she told me, Fearles is good at reading.
Overall, teacher said two of them are doing quite well, but they are very PLAYFUL! Fearles always cannot concentrate or only live in his own world, not "social" enough. Everytime got any games, he always just stand aside and wait for teacher to call him, on the other hand, Cruz is the "social bee" anything he also participate and very talkative. When teacher teach them homework, he think of/recall something that he do overweekend or what he saw, he will keep telling the teacher, till the teacher have to stop him. o_o . On the reading part, Cruz tend to forget quite easily, after read to him few times, point him the same word again, he go blank. Two of them are reading Peter and Jane Book 2A. Writting motor skill getting better, now can hold the pencil more proper compare to the first time when i teach them homework. Teacher did tell me also, she is strict, that's why when my boys not concentrate or "day dream" or naughty, she will smack their hand, she said sometime my boys cried. I told her, i understand ( at least teacher do tell me when my boys naughty or not behave, she will use ruler to smack their hands), but so far my boys didn't tell me their teacher beat them wor? hahahahhahaha
Quite a quick report review, phew! Lucky nothing major. :) After i come out from the room, i bid bye bye to my boys and told them i go to work, you know what is their reaction? No bye bye from them to me, i already sense something not right, i know they are going to cry for me again!!! How true, before i can walk out from the class, two of them hold my legs and two of them CRIED together!!!! Adoi!!!! Till the teachers have to pull them away from me. :(
49 months!
Time flies, today is my boys 49 months old, exactly one month after their 4th birthday. What they have up to? They still the same, Cruz become more chatty, using a lot new words and new sentences, which sometime do crack me up.
I have yet to sent them to any tuition class, music class or any extra class, which i wanted to, but no one can sent and pick them up, so it's a problem. Now, i am thinking maybe i should sent them to those extra class in the weekend, at least i can sent them. My boys are into music ( i think so) because on off i can see them playing with their cousin sisters piano and before their birthday, Cruz keep asking me to buy "Guitar" for him. One of the day, while i get something from the sundry shop, i saw there is one "Toy Guitar", i actually bought it and give it as their 4th birthday presents. hahahhahahah . It's look so real, and somemore with a plastic bag cover to protect the guitar and come with a string to sling it at the shoulder. When i give my boys the guitar, Cruz is the most happy, he got the style, he can play it like real or can i said he got the "gaya". The way he hold the guitar and sometime with one leg up on the chair like a rock star. Cruz even request his cousin brother to bring his violin down and play together with him!! On the other hand, Fearles ask me "why mummy you never buy me drum, i want drum". Yes, i get him a toy drum after that, somemore it come with spiderman picture on the drum, he is happy with it. hahhahahahhahhahahah
my boys with their guitars, it even come with the "triangle thing" to play
the guitar. Not bad huh? hahahhahah
They still got homework twice a week, handwritting getting better and now Cruz without me "nagging" at him, he will finish his homework. Kor kor Fearles sometime will finish ( i doubt Cruz do for him?) sometime still no, need me to sit beside him and see him write. I'm glad that, for english, they wrote the sentence, they can read to me what they write. :) Fearles quite good on writting word on the line, Cruz a bit "not good" at it. Always one word it become 4 or 5 seperate alphabets, so i have to tell him, write/join the alphabets together, "they" scare if you seperate them, so far it work.

Fearles handwritting and below one is Cruz. Fearles one more neat and tidy huh?
Now two of them can be my little helper also. They like to play on my bed, with all the pillows and bolsters, pretend they are driving the plane or fight with some monsters. :( They always messed up my bed. Now instead of me to clean up, i ask them to clean up the bed, so far they did a good job. Another one more month, i will sent my "princesses" back, it's time to train my boys to help me with some little work. :)
That's all for their 49 months old update.

"Cause and Effect" 2009
MATERIAL:Broken barrocan timpani, water, theater light, hydrophones.
EXHIBITED AT:
"Ballade for lost waters"
2009 Spring Festival Royal Conservatorium-The Hague
One of my biggest fascinations is the light phenomenon that generates double shadow of one particular object.
"Cause and Effect" it's an electroacoustic instrument made out of a broken timpani filled with water and two hydrophones. When the musicist (Percussioner) interact with the instrument, then the shadow of his arm appears in double, as also different shapes. This experiment performed at the Spring Festival at KC as part of the collaborative piece "Ballade for lost Waters".
