Chinese New Year is just around the corner!!! Brought Jonas to Junction 10 after his school ends and he was delighted to see 财神爷. Our cheeky boy went up to him and asked me to take a photo of him with 财神爷.
Feeling so amused by his action, everyone started laughing at the way he reacted. Because the mall is not so big, we bumped into 财神爷 3 times and my Jonas never fail to take a pic with him.
Up till now, he still keep humming "Dong Dong Chiang, Dong Dong Chiang". He really brings a lot of joy and laughter to the family.

A Moment Of Glory
Indeed a surprise for us as Parents. Received letter from Ministry of Education indicating that my big boy Jayden got the award for Certificate of Academic Achievement and Good Progress Award. Oh My!!!! How can it be??? Hahaha.... It's a total shock for us and himself too.
I would say he did improve a lot compared to Pri 1 in 2012. With his Pri 2 result, he managed to get these 2 awards. Thumb up for him and hope he will continue with this kind of learning attitudes.

It is really a big project for me as this is the 1st time I'm baking 74 tubs. Seventy-four tubs with 32 pieces each. That's 2,368 of Pineapple Tarts. Wow Wow Wow...
I do hope everyone will enjoy the Pineapple Tarts which I had made and it's to their liking. Feel free to feedback as I feel there is always room for improvement. Enjoy...
