SSCC training team presentaton performance concert

2018年05月20日
公開
77

霏霏除了參加學校的合唱團，她今年也加入了Singapore Symphony Children's Choir的preparatory training team. 參加SSCC，其實是媽咪我的主意。因為之前霏霏說她喜歡唱歌，媽咪我又看到網上在招生，所以就帶霏去audition。只是沒想到進了以後，發現學校也被選進合唱團，難以抉擇的她就決定倆個都參加了… 每個星期六，近3個小時的練習，其實是很辛苦的(爸爸載來載去很累…)可是霏霏非常樂在其中，且樂此不疲。她告訴我們她被選上去唱Descant，被選中的有三個，其中有二個是Soprano，只有她是Auto。今天去看成果發表，才知道原來Descant是有站出來唱的! 和學校合唱團的表演服不同，SSCC的是穿平常練習的制服Tshirt，搭配深色牛仔褲。霏從來沒有穿過牛仔褲，我上星期帶她去買，找不到童裝適合的，最後竟然在Cotton on買大人的最小號，連褲管都不用改!OMG，怎麼有大人穿的下這種SIZE?後來研究一下，該是那種超級瘦的人的緊身七份褲，霏穿來是合身的鬆緊牛仔褲不過我家霏霏真的是長大了呢! 今天的成果發表會不長，只有一小時，可是票是當場去排隊的。11:15開始，結果我們準時到的時候，竟然已經有長長的人龍了。果然家長們都很捧場又kiasu... 最烏龍的是，因為大家都穿制服，頭髮也都綁的差不多一樣。媽咪我第一首歌都找不到霏霏在那裡。拿著手機營幕悄聲問兒子，霏霏在哪，兒子還信心滿滿的指了前排右側第三個，結果我們母子倆就"看"了錯誤的霏霏整首歌。直到第二首，霏從中間第二排走出來唱Descant，我們才恍然大悟一直認錯了人…還好爸爸還不算老花，有認出霏霏，拍到幾張她的照片。 最後的大合唱是所有TRAINING TEAM一起上台，老師說，他們唯一一次的彩排，大家一起練唱是今天早上9:30，因為平常大家的課都是不一樣的時間。可是大家真的是合作無間，兒童合唱團真的是天籟呢!

品澈的牙仙退休了

2017年10月27日
公開

品澈在校醫的幫助下，拔下了最後一個乳牙。讓醫生拔而不是讓他自然掉，是因為品澈要開始漫長的矯正牙齒的旅程了。 兩年前，我們在校醫的referral下，去了National Dental Center排隊。新加坡的國立牙科中心，有專門的矯正牙齒的門診，而且也給予新加坡人優惠，只是要排隊罷了, 所以我們在兩年前就開始排，排到現在，剛好可以開始進行… 品澈的牙，大概遺傳到了媽咪的不整齊牙，更慘的是，他也有下顎突出(扈斗)的問題。幸運的是，還不用戴到下顎矯正器。在10月23日的門診，醫生說品澈要移除二顆乳牙，其中一隻已經搖搖欲墜了，另一隻還堅如盤石。NDC的醫生建議我們讓校醫拔，因為是免費的…這點星星國的小學還蠻不錯的，每個學校都有牙醫，會定期幫小朋友做牙齒檢查，所以拔牙都是免費的。不過校醫的排診也是一次拔一顆，所以第一顆快掉的牙就排在上星期三，剩下的一顆就是今天了。 星期三晚上，品澈把牙給媽咪看，然後要要回去說要放在枕頭下，可是媽咪我覺得那牙好髒，就先泡在漱口水裡。他說那牙仙就不能給錢了。媽咪我終於問了他，你知道牙仙是誰嗎？品澈笑而不答，反而是霏霏說，是媽咪!我說，啥咪？你們知道是我。(其實這些年來我們一直沒戳破，雖然我心裡早覺得小朋友們老早就知道了。)雞婆的霏說，當然知道啊，連 Santa 都是爸媽，當然牙仙也是爸爸和媽媽了!(啥米，連Santa也知道?)我問品澈說你怎麼從沒問，品澈說，問了可能就沒禮物或錢了，他就play along…原來這些年，被唬弄的是我們爸媽，不是這些小朋友。我就和兒子說，既然這樣，那牙仙退休了。這次沒錢了。兒子的臉馬上就夸了下來，聽到沒銅板臉都黑了…還說牙仙不可以不守信用…哈哈。兒子還真的很會精打細算，他對於他的零用錢或是這些獎金可是非常小氣的。 今天兒子拿了最後一顆牙齒回來，好臭啊!我和他說，這麼臭的牙齒，牙仙不給錢，還要扣錢，他的臉又夸下來了。哈哈。晚上時，媽咪我寫了一張牙仙的退休宣言，也給了他最後的牙仙錢，不只一個金幣(新幣一元)，這次二顆牙齒給了他一張5元鈔。告訴他因為這最後一隻牙打了麻藥，他是勇敢的小孩。(想想兒子也真是勇敢，自已在學校拔牙，想我以前最怕的就是拔牙和打針，我絕對不敢一個人去的)。 看了兒子的乳牙盒，共18顆。因為有一隻在飛機上吃飛機餐又吐了時掉的，媽咪我不想在一堆嘔吐物裡尋找他的牙，牙的紀念性不夠讓媽咪做出此等犧牲。另一顆也是他在學校掉的，可是拿回家時，不知為何掉了。可能媽咪把它失手沖到馬桶裡了。 看了這一堆牙，突然覺得好噁心啊，零散的牙齒看起來真的很恐怖…

NUSHigh DSA Tea session

今早和兒子去參加NUS high school of math and science DSA tea session and school preview. 一開始有幾個現仼學生的分享學校生活和社團經驗，學校很貼心地準備餐點，看兒子吃的津津有味，都不知道他有沒有認真在聽學長姐的分享。接下來有校長的致辭，我們也才更瞭解這個學校的成立，原來是現任的副總理Teo Chee Hean 在1997年參觀完美國的Thomas Jefferson High school for Science and Technology , 就開始著手在新加坡也成立這樣的的數理中學，培養國家未來的數理科技人才, "STEM"! 接下來還有另一位老師更詳細的介紹了學校的課程，還有一些校友的故事。媽咪我聽了都很想來念這個學校呢！ 接下來每個小朋友都有機會去體驗三堂課。之前他們就有讓小朋友先放自己的wishlist, 兒子最後被排到的是1.CS 2. math, 3 English. 本來想說讓他自己去上，媽咪我先回家，一點再接他，可是爸爸中途先去學校接打羽球的妹妹，我就只好先留在學校看兒子上課。 第一堂是電腦課，老師一開始問在場的小朋友，有做coding的舉手，幾乎每個小朋友都舉手了！老師問大家做什麼programming, 媽咪我聽到有人回HTML, 另一個媽咪我也不知道是什麼，然後老師問有會Python 的舉手, 就剩下兒子和另一個小朋友的手還舉著。老師就說那等一下的一些簡單的程式對他們來說應該算容易，因為是Python. 兒子的Python是自學的，也不知道他什麼時候瞭解這個且有興趣的，記得有次在Cindra 姨家，士昐叔叔借了他的Python for kids給兒子，好像那就是啟蒙吧！後來兒子去圖書館借書，就會借Python程式設計的書。說真的科技日新月異，媽咪我那個年代學的好像還在C++吧！Python 是啥時冒出來的呀？最近我家爸爸也開始接觸Python , 結果兒子變成爸爸的老師。😅 接下來是數學課，也是兒子愛的，今天的課上的一些數列的問題，非常有趣！連媽咪我都忍不住拿出紙筆，一起參與呢！最後一堂是英文課，問兒子怎麼選英文課呢？他說他沒選，這是被分到的，因為之前選的可能都太熱門，他選物理，可是沒有被分到。看來今天大部分的小孩都會被分到一堂英文。英文今天是上寫詩，有些小孩寫的詩真的很有創意喲！下課時，果然被媽咪猜到，兒子根本沒有完成任何一首詩…他果然混過去了！希望以後如果真的上課，不要這般混才好。 回家的時候下起傾盆大雨，我們等爸爸去開車來接我們的時候，和其他同學的媽媽聊了一下天。我們都覺得這些小男生都長大了，都會一直好像要避開媽媽的感覺，寧願和同學在那邊打屁聊天，😔。現在的他們都在如火如荼的準備小六會考，希望這群小朋友們都能金榜題名喔！

懂事的霏霏

霏霏在我們心中，是搞笑的，無厘頭的，有點嬌縱又任性的。所以有時在心裡面，真的會有為什麼霏霏沒有哥哥乖的感嘆… 可是今天和霏的對話，又讓媽咪覺得她是乖巧又懂事的小孩。從歐洲回來，霏一直受著時差的困擾。尤其剛回來前幾天，小米的睡眠monitor，她都是睜眼到12點多一點多才睡著。開學這一星期，她似乎恢復規律了，不只十點睡，她是九點就要上床準備就寢了。而且不用我們三催四請，她自己刷牙換睡衣就上床了。我擔心她是不是太累了，下午沒睡午覺？她告訴我，"媽咪，不是的，我想要早點上床睡覺，這樣我隔天早上就不會賴床，可以早一點起床，squeez time來摺被子"。"摺被子？"我心裡大驚？問她為什麼要折被子？ 她說星期五有好公民CME的課(像我們以前小時候的生活倫理課)，她說，老師說，不要去想未來妳想要當科學家還是什麼偉大的志向，先看每天早上，有沒有自己折被子，這是規律自己的第一步。如果沒有的，試著從明天開始，學習作一個好公民。霏霏說她覺得很有道理，所以她要身体力行，每天自己折被子…媽咪實在是太感動了，霏霏竟然這麼懂事，把老師說的聽進去了!! 不是當耳邊風，聽聽就算。突然覺得小孩子都很善良，怎麼教他們，他們就會怎麼長大… 希望霏霏這個好習慣能繼續維持…
