Celebrating 10 Years Of Birthday 2015

10 years ago, we planted a seed, today 10 years later he has been such a blessing to family, friends and special educators whom has crossed path during this journey less travel over the past years. This beautiful seed, my star, my hero, my friend and my son has taught us great lesson in life, about compassion, patience, courage, persistence, perseverance, simple joy and pleasure but above all, LOVE. 

We are thankful that he had come thus far and take joy in every challenges unfold and over came and still over coming as more challenges unfolding as he grows up further and learn more complex skill about living. 

Over the years...

His first year

His 2nd year

His 3rd year was spent with his in-law family, po po, gong, aunts and cousins as we attended his 5th aunt wedding.  I recalled that a cake was bought on the night of his birthday by his "Da Yi" but he did not enjoy and went into tantrum as the environment was noisy with the celebratory mood and we were some what puzzle not knowing the under lying cause back then.

Today he has little or no melt down with better control and self regulation, kudos to SPED Team for the right support and teaching.

Celebrating his 4th year of living, concrete learner...step by step, slowly but surely..

Trying something different for his 5th years of celebration, at my sister's place. To stretch him on changes he is expected to embrace in life. Not all will be as expected all the time, need to embrace change and learn to take healthy perspective at time.

6 years old, simple cake with love

7 years old, taken with his sister

8 years old, growing up together, candy crush era...

9 years old, from a little star to small hero

This year is our nation SG50 Golden Jubilee celebration and also his 10th Birthday.

We were running out of idea what birthday cake to get him as he is growing up each year into a sensible young boy.  Happen to see this in a cake shop and that was it "MInecraft" a computer game that he has been playing the past couple of years, he is good at it not only playing but downloading map from server and playing in multiplex and creative mode which we can never comprehend

A simple birthday celebration with love, just among close family members is what matters, though he will crave for friends too these days to seek more social out of his own perspective.

He is literally happy with simple things and never fail to cheer us up with his smile in return.  

My mum also took this opportunity to present to each of her grandchildren a SG50 commemorative notes wishing all A Happy and Healthy Life towards SG100.  A memorable celebration indeed!

In the Chinese calendar, he was in fact born one day after celebrating mid autumn Festival, Hence in this midst of festive occasion, here is a wish to him "A Happy 10th Birthday and many more blissful 10 years of celebration to come."

Winner's Statement: 

Term 3 '15 Highlights - Going with the bliss

Time flies, last post was made just before start of Term 3 and now we are in the midst 1 week Term break to welcome Term 4. Term 3 was another history in the making with lots of cheers and joys and bliss:-

Every Child A Seed Program: My Plant Journal
He had enjoyed learning plant parts and their function, growing up and reaching new height each week forward.

The family attended a family outing with mummy's company, coincidentally a day out on farm tour, where he can get to have first hand experience observing and understand growing beautiful seeds, vegetables in a natural environment and getting massage by fishes and catching long gang fishes.

I spy....do yiu know where am I?   What a blissful day? So thankful to a wonderful company.

This year, our Nation celebrate 50 years of Independences, our whole family attended SG50 National Day Dinners in our neighbourhood and had a great time eating and catching up with each others and taking photos, I was telling the children that they will be lucky to witness SG50 & probably will live long enough to celebrate SG100,  

We visited the Garden By The Bay during the Jubilee weekend and enjoy once again the beautiful greenery and multi-colour flowers display within the 2 exhibits at Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.

Beside the plants and flowers, he enjoyed also the waterfall and taking the lift through the various levels.

There random moments of simple joy in playtime, silent reading, eating durians and best of all he had a new toy, the Wii U game stations.  It has elevated my bonding with him further, fighting with CPU and each others, opening up our interactiona nd also improving the quality of our communication.

We had also build the lego blocks to commemorate SG50 & I had made him a new reward sticker chart to motivate him to step up and do well in his academic for coming Term 4 and to have a strong finish for the year.

In life, whenever we begin to do the best and we create a place and we create preparation, then that’s when the blessing oftentimes will come.  It may not come over night but sometimes it just come faster than you expected in a moment while others it may take some journey before you feel it.

We look forward to more good things to come in Term 4.
