SCGS girl is The Final 1!

My girls have been following The Final 1. At first, I thought it was just a case of watching some reality competition show like the American Idol or The Voice. It turned out that they were following The Final 1 because of one of the top 10 finalists - Farisha. I asked them what is so special about Farisha. They replied, "She is from SCGS!". Oh ok, that explains a lot lol. They are definitely true blue SCGS girls with the kind of fierce loyalty that only SCGS girls will show/ give to another SCGS girl. :) 
My girls are really happy that Farisha won and is The Final 1! Way to go, Farisha. You did SCGS proud!! :)

Proud!

Marieann told me that she received the highest mark in class for her Chinese composition. Of course, with a mother like me who has gotten nothing less than an A2 for Chinese throughout her school life, my daughter wouldn't fare too badly lol. :P 

But jokes aside, I know Chinese has not been Marieann's strongest subject and that she has been trying really hard. I am really proud of the effort and time she has put into learning Chinese. She is finally seeing the fruits of her efforts. Well-done, Marieann. Always remember: You can do it as long as you put your mind to it. 

Proud Moments

Marieann
She came home from school and showed us a notebook that she received from her teacher. Marieann told us the notebook is a first prize present. First prize? Huh? First prize for what? She then sheepishly told us that she got the first prize for her Chinese Speech and Drama class. It seemed that not many from her class took part in the Chinese recitation competition. She showed us a little bit of what she did at the recitation before she bashfully said she had forgotten and went to bed. I am very surprised by Marieann as she has never shown any interest in Chinese. Winning something, even if it is a simple recitation may spark her interest in Chinese. :) I am proud of you, Marieann. :) I hope you keep up your interest in Chinese.

Juliane
I received an odd sms on my handphone from a strange number.
"Mama on SCHOOL NO FRIDAY is MMI Yes or on"
After a while, I figured it out and I laughed. I got home and asked Juliane if she did anything today. She laughed and said that she sent me an sms using the maid's handphone. I doubted that she sent the sms on her own to which she protested most strongly. The maid confirmed that Juliane sent the sms on her own. I am amazed that Juliane is so IT-savvy. I am proud of you, Juliane. :)
Oh, you managed to figure out what she wrote? It should have been "Mama no MMI school on Friday yes or no" lol.
