Little Wei Zhi had high fever and measles

This few days,little Wei Zhi fell sick.First it started with high fever on Thurs morning.The nanny called us to bring him for doctor consultation.It's terrible, the temperature went up to 39.6C and doctor immediately insert half tablet of fever medicine to the back side.Poor little Wei Zhi cried out loudly.Luckily the fever gone after that.
However,starting from Sat morning, we found red spots on Wei Zhi's face. We brought him to specialist again and according to doctor it might not be the real measles.There was no medicine given and the only advice is to drink more water.I am getting a bit worried about Wei Zhi who's weight did not gain since 6 months old and maintained at around 8kg till now at the age of 8 months.

After checking the growth percentile calculator, little Wei Zhi falls into the following percentiles: Weight = between percentile 10 and 25

What do the percentiles mean?
If the child is in the 20th percentile for weight, for example, he weighs more than 20 percent of children his age and less than the other 80 percent.

This means that Wei Zhi is under weight at the moment.

1 Dec: Jian goto MRC holiday courses

Tomorrow 1 Dec, Jian will start joining a holiday courses offered by MRC Bayan Baru for writing composition in English,Malay & Chinese.This MRC centre is within walking distance to Jian's new school. If school transfer is successful,our plan is to send him there for after-school care which includes bathing,lunch,homework guidance,tuition in all subjects. For school holiday now,we let him familiarize with the environment and teacher. The fee for holiday course is about RM300 and the duration is four weeks whereas time from 9-12am. The principle is so kind that she let us send Jian earlier there at around 7.30am before we go to work and we will fetch him back during our lunch time. Actually Jian has attended English course in another MRC centre before when he was four years old and completed level 8 when he was six years old. I like the mind mapping teaching method by MRC which create long term memory in kids and I hope this can help Jian to master the study easily and happily.

Congratulations Jian..

On the last day of school, Jian brought back a trophy to our surprise.
I only knew that he is number three in his standard one study after the school graduation/convocation .There was prize giving for other contests. Of course,I felt happy for him and told him that this would be a good souvenier indicating that he has studied in the school before. As you know Jian will be transfered to a new school next year.

Jian told me that actually he is number 2 initially but somehow teacher deducted 1 mark and resulting his position drop to number 3. Well,this didn't bother me anyway. Congratulations Jian,k eep up with the good work.

12 Nov -Transfer School

On 12 Nov , Piao and I went to Jian's Primary School to sign on the school transfer form officially as requested by the headmistress. Here ,I would like to thank lovely A and the headmaster of our destination school for their precise information and advice. Sad to say that the headmistress for the current school is not that cooperative.Thus, I would like to list out the necessary steps and documents needed for those interested.

Get your documents photostated with the original copy for reference.
(a) IC of parents (both sides)
(b) electrical/water bill for new address or S&P
(c) marriage certificate
(d) envelope with stamps (to be send back by Education Dept)

After that, inform the headmaster of current school and submit the documents. The school will ask the parent to sign on the transfer form. It is being told that by 15 Dec, we will eceive the mail which indicate whether the school transfer application is approved. Another way is the submit the form and documents ourselves to the Jabatan Pendidikan Daerah near the school we applied.This may speed up the process and may only take 1 day to 2 weeks for the results. In our case, we let the school submit the application.

Well, there are a few reasons why we decided to transfer Jian to another school.
(1) Infrastructure of school:
(a) left portion of the school classrooms and area is overtaken by developer for housing project which already in progress.
(b) front portion of school will be allocated for road expansion by government and the basket ball court will be gone.
(2) Teachers' altitude
(a) there are teachers who canned standard 1 students every day for not bringing books, home work etc. In addition, the teacher like to pull hair or pinch student as a punishment for making minor mistakes in Maths. This make me feel students are under pressure.

After much consideration ,we decided to transfer our son Jian to a school for its caring environment and I hope we have made the right decision.

Piano mini performance

On 2 Nov, Jian attended a small music performance organized by his music centre. He performed two songs. Jian has been learning Piano for half year now and sometimes he just lack of practice since we are busy and didn't really monitor his progress. But,anyway I felt proud when watching him playing piano during the music performance. Well we brought little Wei Zhi there to support his big brother and surprisingly he could sit there hours to watch the piano,ensemble, guitar performance etc.

He he ...Laughing baby Wei Zhi

Wei Zhi and his big brother Jian was playing in the playpan one day,and their laughing sound were so loud and clear. I quickly grab the camera and passed to Piao to took a video of them. Well, when you feel blue,don't forget to visit and watch this video clip to cheer you up, wa ha ha :)

Wei Zhi went coffee shop on 08/11/08

On Nov 08 (Sat), the family went out for a dinner at Bah Kut Teh opposite Tesco extra.

This is the first time we brought Wei Zhi out for dinner.He get excited and used the little spoon or toy to knock on the table and threw them away after get bored.So,I was busy picking up the staff.

Not long after, he showed some frustration because it is his biological clock call to sleep.Knowing that, we quickly placed him in the stroller and pat him to sleep.Just within minutes he fell asleep peacefully and we continued with our yummy Bah Kut Teh.
