Random Happines Aug '11

The pursuit of Happiness is an inward journey, if we regularly desposit positive, encouraging and uplifting thoughts, if we continue to bite our lip just before we begin to grumble and complaint, if we shoot down what seemingly harmless negative thoughts as it germinates, we will find that there is much to rejoice about.

This is also the spirit that has keep me moving forward in my special walk with my little STAR, and what better way than to share once again some memorable moments we captured in August for a strong finish as we cross over to another new exciting and adventurous month of September.

We had taken opportunity to eat out at Joan Bowen cafe to feel the Love, Compassion and Hope, great dinning experience. Empowering & practising him to pay for item he buy is another way to promote his confidence and position in the community in term of interaction. functional communication & thinking.

The school term ended with a mini sport day where by the children form teams according to their colour assigned to participate in relay games, another opportunities to generalize his various skills learn from EIP(listen, look, follow, stay at area, co-operative play). At the end of the day, every child is a winner. Kudos to the teachers for outting up another successful and meaningful outing.

The family was back in Malaysia's Po Po's(grandma's) house at Tanjung Sepat near South-western coast of Malaysia, another truely and wonderful experience in life within greenery environment, the kampong spirit, their local food are all that we miss back in our progressing Singapore.

Having his hair cut at his 4th autie's Final Cut Studio Salon at Puchong, first time visit since openning more than a year ago, great atmosphere and place of interaction & networking on top of just having the hair do. Happy that she has come this far and really proud of her achievement.

To my little STAR, this is also a holiday camp, little STAR taking opportunity to do his worksheets on numeric, writing and drawing and polishing his literacy skill in English.

And also some leisure and play as well! We took opportunity to setup a small little tent which he called his Tree House at a corner of the room and that he indulge in his comfort at po po's house during the stay there whenever we call it a day.
