Mid Autumn Celebration at Xuan's Kindergarten

Xuan's kindergarten has organised a mid-autumn celebration on 12 Sep. We, parents, joined in the celebration with the kids. First, we made mooncakes together. Then, we have fun guessing the riddles from the lanterns hanging along the corridor. Finally, we joined the kids to have a buffet lunch at the classroom. The dishes were the mooncakes we made together, and food prepared by the kindergarten's cook.

Does Xuan look like a cook with the hat?
The mooncakes made were brought to the kitchen for baking.

Amazing Pottery Workshop

Yesterday, we brought Hui and Xuan to a pottery workshop near the place we stayed. Hui wanted to make a vase while Xuan wanted to make a cup. They really have a fun time doing their own creations. It costs RMB $60 for the each creation (RMB $40 for the creating materials + RMB $20 for the firing). It will costs cheaper if we made a VIP card (RMB$260 for 10 times, RMB$360 for 20 times or RMB $450 for 30 times instead of RMB$40 per time). You will also get a discount for firing fee if you have a VIP card.

We need to wait for 1 week for the firing to be completed. We have to go again next week for the girls to complete their creations with colours. They really look forward to see their final creations.

What a short vase Hui has!

What a big cup Xuan has!

Hui's Classroom at QSI

Finally, I got to update some of Hui's photos taken at QSI last week when we sent her to school in the morning. Here are some photos taken from her classroom.

Hui drew Xuan and herself with short hair.

She used to draw with tied hair last time.

Xuan New School Term at 育才三幼

Today, Xuan starts her new school term as 中二班 students, something like our Singapore K1. She has spoken to me weeks ahead that she wanted me to send her to school instead of ah yi. I told her no problem because Papa will send Hui to school while I send her... just nice! But ... yesterday night, Hui was a little bit moody because she knew I cannot send her to school today. This morning, me and Xuan make an effort to at least send Hui to the bus stop and she feels a little bit better. Papa told her she can be no.1 to reach school if he sent her and Hui somehow like the idea of no.1 too.
