This is a back dated post. We went to Clarence's school Funfair in early July.
Kids having a good time bouncing:
Took us a long time to queue for this:
Vincy's first try on the motorcycle. She had some problems stepping on the power so the pupils in charge had to help her with it initially. She managed to move around by herself after a while.
More stalls in the air-con hall. We should have gone up earlier.
This is the first time I have seen this surfing gadget. Mummy 'forced' Clarence to give it a try:
Managed to spend all our coupons and got some biscuits as prizes home.
Yes, the show and tell is back again this term. The topic this round is My Favourite person. My son chose me as his favourite person, and mummy is in charge of getting him to memorise and present. The mummy in the script is like a 虚构人物，too good to be true. Ha ha!
Torturing process of memorising for him and me cos I need to force him to memorise bit by bit everyday. My son thought of an innovative way to transfer the information from the script to his brain:
Clarence went for his 2nd Open Water Swim at East Coast Park today. Waiting for his turn:
Threading water for 3 minutes in the sea.
My boy is a real joker in the class, he was still swimming on the shore when he reached, making everyone laugh. When asked why he was swimming on the shore, he told me he was a stingray! Trying to be funny!
Vincy likes the dogs a lot nowadays. Sometimes, she tends to mix up the dogs' names. She will pat them every morning, especially Gem. She loves to lean on Gem. She is very buddy with Gem now.
Registered Clarence with his swimming coach for his first Open Water Swim in East Coast. Both of them happily waiting to go to the beach.
Vincy all geared up in her bikini and shorts outfit to play in the sand while waiting for Clarence to finish. But she was scared of the waves and the sand so she only played for less than 5 minutes. Only wear stylo then go and hide in the shade playing ipad and eating tidbits.
They started swimming short distances marked by some floating markers, then the markers were placed farther and farther away which means the distance became longer and longer. According to the coach, it was slightly more than 50m. Really tiring for my little boy, so small swimming in the big sea against the current. Good exposure and experience though. He was given a discount in one of the activities. He went 3 rounds instead of 4 cos he was too slow. They were required to swim a loop then jog on the beach and repeat.

Relaxing time after the tedious training:
I asked me how he felt about the training session, he said, "good". Later when I told him there will be another session 2 week later, he said, "HUH!" Haha, I believe that is he genuine reaction.
He said it was difficult to swim in the sea becos:
1) low visibility
2) strong currents pushing him away
3) kept drinking the salty sea water
4) his goggles was faulty, so he needed to keep stopping to adjust his goggles.
Vincy came home and sang "nobody". She told us her classmater teach her the song. Showed her the video from youtube and she learnt some steps. More like a praying mantis though! Ha!

My drama queen also likes to do this. She invented this herself. Recorded it down for keepsake purpose.
