Mummies Gathering!

Always love the companionship of my 2 great mummy buddies, Vivian and Kim. We knew one another through the staff foundation course in 2001 and have been great pals ever since. We've attended one another's weddings, witnessed pregnancies and all of us are coincidentally now mothers of 2 each! Call it fate. We never fail to amuse and entertain one another through topics from courtship to marriage to hubbies and now kids! We never fail to run out of topics. It was a great dinner date with my 2 pals. We exchanged so much on our kids, relationships, frustrations faced in rasing kids etc. There's so much to complain and vent haha..... I always love to meet up with them. Looking forward to our next gathering during CNY at my place. 6 kids.... Hohoho.... dare not imagine how it will turn out......Nonetheless, really glad that I've established great friendship with them through my job and hope that this bonding will become stronger down the years........

House of 'Js'

OUR PAST........

Both James & I got hitched through a JC song performance when we were 18. Despite small hiccups along the way, never did we expect this relationship to work out well. After 10 years of courtship, our solemnisation took place on 8 Nov 03 followed by customary wedding on 16 Jan 05. God bestowed upon us Little Jovin on 30 Oct 05 and subsequently Little Jovan on 28 Feb 08. The birth of our prince and princess marks a remarkable change in our lives. From now on, FOUR BECOMES ONE!

OUR PRESENT........

From couplehood, we subsequently learnt how to manage a '3rd' party in our lives. Managed to scrape through as new parents learning how to change diapers, bathing newborn, manage messy shitting etc. However, Princess Jovin brought us so much happiness. 2 yrs 4 months later, Prince Jovan was born and we learnt how to 'escape' from his mini fountain haha! Having a boy and a girl forms a '好' . We feel very blessed and fortunate to have the 2 little 'Js' in our lives. Derive greatest pleasure from playing with our 2 kids now!

OUR FUTURE.........

In parenthood, we wish for everlasting happiness and best of health for our dearest kids.

JOVIN

2013 has passed and Jovin is now 'promoted' to P3 in the morning session! Looking back at 2013, Jovin has managed her academic and enrichment class requirements pretty well. This year, Jovin got to learn to manage challenging demands from school work considering long hours of afternoon stay back sessions, new subject Science and Maths tution at Mind Stretcher. She continues with her Art and CL speech and drama class at Hokkien Huay Kuan as that's where her interest lies. Starting this year, she will receive specialised training in public concert drama performance in the Huay Kuan and taking EL speech and drama as her CCA in the school! Truly my daughter following my footsteps! In 2014, we wish for Jovin performing better grades in her Maths, be more proactive in academics, stay confident as she has always been in stage performances. Lastly, stay happy and healthy forever in the year of Horse. Gallop gallop far and high, dearest Princess Jovin!

JOVAN

Jovan is now a 'senior' in his school! He is in his final year in Kindergarten in 2014. Last year, we just switched him to the new school due to moving house. Sadly to say, he needs to be adjusted to another learning environment despite the last year in his pre-school, reason being the previous school has been converted into a full-day child care centre. So our dearest boy is enrolled under the same wing, but at another nearby school few blocks away from the intial one. Jovan seems to be adapting well after the 1st 2 days and truly hope this will remain throughout the rest of his schooling days here. Jovan has started on his P1 prep class since Dec 2013, same as Jovin in Mind Stretcher! We are glad to see him writing sentences, numerals, learning simple grammar like 'has, have'. Most importantly, he loves the teacher! Jovan, too continues with his Art and CL speech and drama class like Jovin. This year, we look forward to his debut CL performance at Huay Kuan in Nov 2014. Looking forward to seeing a confident Jovan on stage. In 2014, we wish to see Jovan practising better hygiene ( less of eating fingernails!!), develop better anger management skills, enjoy all his lessons and stay happy and healthy always! Dearest Prince Jovan, gallop high and far in 2014!

THE 2 OF US

In romance, we wish for ever-lasting love and passion in our relationship. We want our kids to feel the love between daddy and mummy too and gradually, it has become a must by our kids for daddy and mummy to kiss before sleep every night. So sweet.....

In career, we wish for stability and of course, more $$$ keep rolling in but more family time for our kids, especially for dear.

House of 'Js' will stay and bind closely forever as one. Our prince and princess would always remain as our source of motivation in whatever daddy and mummy do. Everlasting happiness for us.............
