My joy

Is so much joy to see the two girls growing day by day. Qi Ning is now concentrating on her piano since mummy slack off in tecahing her everyday. She is having class with mummy 2 days a wek instead of 4 days now. so her piano is improving tremendous now. Her piano teacher was saying maybe she is a little genius. She started her pianno lesson this year and is now into grade 3 pieces! She put in lots of practice daily and daddy coached her daily as well. There was tear at time but soon the beautiful music covers the tear! She is peservering on and aiming to be a painist at chuch by next year. Daddy say if she progress on at this rate, she might be one by end of the year!
Qi Yu is progressing well in her own way. She never cease to amaze me with her street wise response. At time when i want to reprimand her for not sharing, before I could starts, she would say "no Mummy, i only want to choose the biggest one for jie jie". Her mind turn so fast! She is getting interested in drawing now adays. sometime she would draw mummy, daddy, jie jie and her.
I have been using SWR with her but his lazy mummy is not discipline in tecahing her everyday. So up till now, i only have taught her about 22 alpahbet sounds. She knows it well and i am trying to teach her all the 26 sounds. She loves reading so everyday i would read to her. She is a sweet little girl.
I thank God for the two beautiful girls He has given to me!

Busy

Lately, i feel so overwhelm with the things i need to do. Probably is due to the new semester begins and I am in the midest of doing thesis. DUe to maternity, one of the subject i was to take a year ago was not offer until now. So i have to juggle between data collection, assignment for the family therapy and also teaching. Luckily this semester i am teaching advance technique in counseling so i no need to prepare for the lesson as it is all prcatical. At first, i thought the course work would not be a hindrance to my thesis writing, as it turn it it is a pest and feeling upset about!
With this busy schedule, often is the children's learning took a back seat. I have not really teach Qi Ning and Qi Yu lately. Actually feeling guilty about it. Hope I will get my thesis done soon so that i can have more time for my girls. Lord, please give me the strength to hang in there and be discipline in my studies!

Touch base

I haven't have time to blog and follow blog for a long time! Nowadays, i seem to get caught up in so many different things. Housework, kids, studies and some teaching and counseling work and church work, they all seem to be never ending! ANd I have this nagging thought behind me regarding my thesis, when am i going to finish! I met a friend who just had her gradaution on Monday and she is continuing on with her post graduate research, oh mine, when will my gradaution be! Guess i just have to put my head down and keep myself going with my data collection and data analysis!
I am really thankful for the two girls. They are really good in allowing me to do my studies. They would play by themselves when i need to do some work.
Qi Ning started her piano lesson beginning of this year and she is progressing very well. She is now in grade 1 level and moving on to grade 2 lesson. She puts in lots of time in practising piano with daddy as her guide. I think she is musically inclined but she does put in the effort to prcatise everyday. I am very proud of her achievement but sometime I wonder if we pushed her too hard!
I have to say i have slacked in my home schooling program with Qi ning and also very slow with Qi Yu. AM thinking of sending Qi Yu to kindergarten next year onward but feeling guilty about it. Really wish that I can be the one who teach her at pre-school. This little girl of mine is alo grwoing up fast and she is a quick learner in her own way. Her mind response very fast. She loves reading and is a chatter box at home.
I just loves to have my two girls with me.
