Happy 9 Years Old

It has been quite a while since my last post, we are now in the month of Sep, where the Term 4 just kick starts, also a month of celebration.

Had some great moment in August, one being attended A Very Special Concert to raise fund and was glad to know it had been successful exceeding target amount.

Then we have the National Day Celebration, worked with him to write a jounal over that weekend.

Our whole family went to visit Science Center on National Day, he had a of of fun in the human body exhibit.

He is able to drive and play independently on the Mario Kart racing game in Time Zone and enjoyed winning the race against daddy and sister, others such as basket ball game is also one of his favourite, he really CAN! He has become my Superhero just like the Superman character with great strength, courage and compasion heart.

Another memorable event was the family day at his mommy's work place, all of us get to visit the plant, played some games, eat yummy food and of course took several photos

Term 3 had been another great learning journey for him, perfecting the imperfects on his work habits, strengthening his social interaction skill, always proud of his little inch stone progress and achievement. Just before the end of Term, get him to prepare some thanks giving to teachers who have been impactful in his growing up years in ARC.

He is my great teacher too, through him I have come to learnt that some days, your life is all about dreams, hopes and vision for the future. But there are also some days where life is just about putting one foot in front of the other...and that's okay.

The whole family had a 4 nights getaway to "Po po" house during the recent school 1 week holidays, my mother-in-law home town in Tanjung Sepat, near  South Western coast area of Malaysia. We love the openness, the nature surrounding, the sea, the people and the food especially, it has become a famous tourist attraction among Singaporean and their local from across several states.  We enjoyed the holidays.

Sep is a month of many celebration, not only we have many friends, babies having born on that month, his birthday also falls on Sep too.  We never have any plan to celebrate in a big way but decided to break into smaller modular activities. The weekend before he turns 9, we had a simple cake cutting to commemorate this occasion within family.

It was Superman all over, up up all the way.
Over the years, slowly but surely he has persevered, learn and grown into a fine young boy, into his 9 cycles, wishing him Happy Birthday and all the best in this journey less travel. He is my personal trainer or coach, to make me better than what I use to be in each day of my living. The night prior to his birthday, I told him before he went to bed "Fabian, I love you", he then looked me in my eye and replied "I love you daddy". Such literal response melted my heart, he is indeed my motivation & passion in living, Jia you my super boy!

On the actual day, we prepared small little gift for him to give to his classmates and some teachers, sharing his joy, happiness and love with them as he turned 9. we were thankful for the teachers to facilitate him with this giving. Glad to hear from his form teachers that all his friends were excited and happy in receiving his gift. All of them had in return, written him a birthday day card to bring home, a great meaningful Birthday celebration outcome filled with joy in return.

In the same evening, we enjoyed Penang Buffet at Causeway Point with him together with my sister's family.  Thankful to my sister and family for their love and support to him, not forgeting also to all the well wishers and shower of presents he had received.  He is indeed very blessed. I wrote on his birthday card "Always do your best and never give up!" inspired by quote from Stephen Wiltshire. And wish him many more happy return growing up and learning to maximize his own potential.

We shall continue to love him and embrace his living, only then all of us can have beautiful life.

Some days, hope is what we have. Other days hope is what we need. The Hope that each will be transformed through a Path towards the Light to shine upon them providing the opportunity to contribute or serve the people and the society in the way they CAN.  With right support and training, this Hope is very Possible.

Continue to work hard by design, look forward to a strong finish for his Term 4 and not forgetting an important event that is taking place in this mid Nov;-
