crying continues.....

2nd lesson at berries. preparation about going to Chinese class started a few days back. however, its not really working. crying starts from home when we told them we are leaving for breakfast and Chinese class. its like a on off tap, goes on and off from home to safra. the one who cried the loudest and longest is yu ze. yu xi didn't cry, walked into class then realise its not right and started crying at the door. as usual, i leave them with teacher and walked off.

 
 
as an incentive for going to berries, they get to go to swimming pool to play water after class or any places they want. so we went swimming pool and east coast to drive 'big car' today. yu xi doesn't know how to 'drive' the car so we got a remote controlled car for her. her car is remote controlled by darling, not self-driven. well, it doesn't matter to her. as long as the car is moving, that is more important.

1st lesson at berries

we are finally here for our first berries lesson at safra toa payoh. i had repeated this many times to friends, going to say it again. queue at berries is so super long.......
 
yu ze had been on waiting at the bishan branch for almost a year and still no news. we queued for him at hougang branch too where we were the next on the list, also no hope. it was finally till last nov that they called me up saying that they are opening up a brand new time slot to accomodate all these long waiting list kids and asked if i'm still interested. of course, i am. i'm not going to give up my slot so fast after queuing for so so long.
 
i was so happy that we finally made it and i start sharing my happiness with friends. jiali then told me that they are going to start a new branch at safra toa payoh. immediately, i called berries at bishan back and told them that i'm interested to go to safra toa payoh. i also took this opportunity to sign up yu xi, sending both for classes at the same timing. i defintely don't want to queue another year when its her turn to go for class. 
 
i started preparing them about the class last week. reality doesn't kicks in till it happen. both started crying super badly at berries entrance. hugging me tightly and refuse to let go. of course, all i did is kiss them goodbye and hand them over to the teachers and walked off.


waited for them at the entrance 5 minutes before class ends so that they see us the moment they are out of the class. yu xi came back with a 八宝盒 as the theme for the day is on Chinese New Year. i think she did enjoy her class. as for yu ze, the first thing he told me was, 'mommy, Chinese is too slow'. i guess 1.5 hours Chinese lesson is too long for him. hahaha.... i'm not sure if he enjoyed the class as he came out with a 'black face' 
 
whatever it is, berries will have to stay for at least a term before we decide if we are going to continue or not.
