Homeschool Shanghai

I decided to go to church using Line 9 today. Michael did not go with us because he had to hand in an assessment that day. Line 9 is supposed to stretch all the way from Songjiang to Xujiahui, passing by Qibao. Unfortunately, there was some problem with using the stretch of land from Quiling [...]

We went to Sheshan this morning with RLA and ALA. We were 30 minutes late when RLA came to pick us. My ayi mistakenly fried waxed sausages instead of hotdogs for my sandwiches, so I had to rush out to get ham slices. I made sandwiches and we went there in RLA’s car. I didn’t [...]

SALT went to Dino’s World at Longhua Road today. It’s the third time I took the kids there to play. Dino’s World is located at the third storey just above TESCO Supermarket at Longhua Road. The main entrance is at the right corner of the same building as TESCO. The kids absolutely enjoyed themselves there, [...]

Sometimes you just have to take away privileges from a child as a form of punishment for being disobedient. Paul was looking forward to go to ALA’s house today. But he did not finish his work. I decided not to go to RLA’s house in this case. I have to put my foot down, otherwise [...]

I was not in church today, fighting a flu bug. Michael took the boys to church while I rested at home. My throat was sore, my nose stucked with phlegm so thick that it was so hard to clear, unless it has accumulated so much up the nose-throat passage. I have slept through the day [...]

I’ve been more and more forgetful lately. Why not write the task down on paper. Yeah, right, and I’ll be hunting high and low for that piece of paper a few minutes later. I still have several things on my to-do that I owe SL. I’ve been working out budget for the family and time-table [...]

We went with RLA and ALA to Shanghai Science Museum today. It was a rather short trip as Paul delayed the setting off from our house to RLA’s residence with his slow eating. She had to meet us just outside her compound so that we can hop on her little red car straight away after [...]

I was so surprised to see SL today. I thought she was at Hong Kong. She had taken her son JL to Hong Kong for speech test. John had requested to join the SAINTS instead as he felt that he coped better. I talked to SL and she was agreeable. It was another busy day [...]

I woke up with a badly sprained neck this morning. I had actually sprained my neck yesterday morning. I tried to relax the muscles a little by doing a little bit of stretching, and it was okay then. But this morning it had become more serious. I had to use Michael’s neck-support pillow to help [...]

LH joined us today at my place with RLA in the afternoon. We started off doing “Hooked On Phonics” program. The little boys were restless after a while. So we went on to Math, playing with the Cuisenaire rods. The class ended with Cuisenaire rods flying all over the place and the boys played with [...]
