Home visit by Living Santuary Teachers

On Monday evening, Wan Qi's teachers from Living Santuary came for the home visit. Being the kiasu mummy, I stayed up late to tidy and clean up the place. I was definitely more excited than Wan Qi. ha!!!
After work, it was raining cats and dogs. Luckily, my colleague Nazema gave me a lift to Buangkok. However, as I need to get some cakes for the teachers so I took a train back to Sengkang. I bought cake from "cake talk"the diy cake shop. Their cakes are beautiful but I am not sure if they tasted as good. I bought strawberry cakes for Wan Qi's 2 teachers.
And when I reach Boon Keng, I went to MAC to get nugget meals for the teachers as it was dinner time so I thought its courtesy that I buy some food for the teachers. I mean they are so so dedicated. Think if we were to ask to do home visit, we will defintely curse and swear hor. hee hee.
Both Wan Qi's teachers Mrs Loong and Miss Chua are very nice and cheerful teachers. Wan Qi loves them a lot. They are strict but loving to the kids at the same time. This is why I insisted Wan Qi to stay in this school as the teachers there are really very caring even though Wan Qi seems too weak to stay in an air con school. Sign. She has been having cough. I wish she will recover soon. :(
Both the teachers complimented on Wan Qi's good behaviour and good academic results. I was told that she pays attention to the teachers and is very confident when she does her show and tell. I was relieved as the feedback that I received from the Bethesda Kindergarten Katong was a total different story from the Dayspring teachers and Living Santuary teachers. Her Chinese teacher also said the same thing about Wan Qi and she praised Wan Qi for her good recognition of the Chinese characters and her drawing skills. (Actually her drawing was taught by me. I always teach her how to draw. eg. for birds - I will ask her to draw two circle for the body , two dots for the mouth one two triangle for the mouth etc)
The only problem Wan Qi had was her sitting position. She never like to sit cross legged. Instead, her legs will form into an odd shape.Dont know how to describe. All the 3 teachers were very concern about this and had to constantly remind Wan Qi as they told me its bad for the development of her legs. I take note of that and reminded Wan Qi about this.
So overall, Wan Qi has been a good student. I am glad to hear that. Then I asked the teachers if Wan Qi is talkative in class as claimed by the Bethesda teachers but they both said she talks at the right time. She will participate actively in discussions and not talk unneccessary. So I felt relieved again.
The other thing that worries me is whether Wan Qi is a complain queen as Wan Qi told me her friends dont like her. When I asked her why she said is becuase she always tell them to keep quiet. But the teachers said she is alright she doesnt complain about her friends. She can socialise very well with her friends. The teachers said that one of the reason why Wan Qi only seems to have 1 good friend most probably is because most of the students around her are boys. Phew another relief. Aiyo I have many concerns for her.
It's really not easy being a parent. Worry for this and that. No choice cant help worrying. My mum said I am too kan jiong must relax a bit. Have not been feeling well these days. My mum went to ask the Buddha for me and guess what. Buddha also advise me not to be so kan jiong.
But cant help it when it concerns my little girl . Seems to difficult to have another child like that. Think I will have more wrinkles formed on my forehead if I have another child. :P
