My two girls are down with high fever since yesterday and we are due to go to Cameron Highland on Firday! Really must pray that they will be well by then, if not how to go!
Feeling a bit stretch with all the last minute thing to do for family week and also looking for spaeker. Looks like June holidays is a busy time for speakers, all tied up in camps, seminar etc.
As for my thesis, I am looking for participants for my research. Not easy to get people to wanna share their expereince of violence or abuse so I just need to be patient and circulate the info as widely as I can.
Feeling a bit stress especially by the girls sickness. Sigh, wish they don't get sick often!

Kids development
I have not been keeping a log of my two girls growing up in writing for a long time. Today, quickly find some time to do a quick write-up of what is still freash in my mind.
Qi Ning has three permanent teeth now, so fast when the dentist say uusally it will not happen till age 7 or so but my girl is only 5 plus. She started her piano lesson begiing this year and her teacher is impressed by her performance. Piano tecaher is thinking to start her on grade 1 soon. She puts in lot of practices. I think she really like music. Still not going to school yet and I have slow down in home schooling her. Instead of 4 x a week, is only two times a week. Lazy mummy! She can now read better and can read Peter and Jane till book 4 level with no problem. She need to stop to sound out the words in book 5. She is very articulate and would not hesitate to give you a piece of her mind. She is very mature for her age but I must always remind myself that she is still a child and can't expect her to be like an adult!
Qi Yu is also growing up fast. She is a book lover and what amaze me is that she could recite all her favourite story well. She likes to be called names. Earlier on she want me to call her monkey, and now Garfield. In between, she wanted to be known as Panda bear and Koala bear but only for a short few days. Monkey and Garfield has been for months. Don't know when she will change name again!No more monkey now but Garfield!
Started her with the phonic lesson now. She is enjoying it as I have make it into a hide and seek game for her. She has to find all the letter that I hide. So far she has learnt from a-j and numbers 0-9. Daddy is teaching her some simple mandarin. She gets really excited when she recognise the letter in a word be it books or advertising bill board of the tv screen. She will quickly tell me about it by the sound of the letter.
She has a good memory. she thinks about what we tell her and has a quick mind. This morning she was upset with me and was wanting to hit me. When I told her daddy say cannot beat mummy, she turn around and say "Mummy I want to pat pat you and not hit you!"
Such joy is to have two girls like Qi Ning & Qi Yu. They are a real blessing from God. Love them very very much!
