That's really encouraging! Did Bee take any phonics class? Jun likes reading a lot but still rely on me. I'm the reading machine. I'm planning to let Jun take one later when he know how to write.

BTW, I've registered DK's phonetics course, will start in July.

Yes, K2. I think he knows many vocabs by sound and he reads with his knowledge of phonics. I don't train him on vocab. He just learns new ones (which I explain the meanings to him) through readi ...

LSW, Carlychung,

For the 2nd board book,
I think it is more likely Russian,
instead of Spanish.

lev = lion
Can be Russian or Czech tim ga.

What is Spanish for lion ?

Well, it is the season for good baby ginger and yanyan said she found lots of it in Kln City.

So now that you have a new bunbun,
why don't you send her over to my place for 1 day
and get my yanyan to teach her to make the DIY ginger.
So you will be able to have it any time you want.

BS,

i have one chapter called WORKS OUT for the Thailand's version, not sure whether it is what you need?? What is the content of this chapter?

Besides, i will go to Thailand tomorrow, do you need to buy the Thailand's VCD of MSB, around B$99.00 if they didn't increase the price this year. = HK$25.00 still cheaper than HK's version. My son said hope they can have new release, we discover this for 2 years ago, 1st year - they release only 3 pcs, 2nd year, they release up to 13 pcs already. Hope they can release more this year.

No need to write recipe woh.
Find a day you are ready with a piece of paper
then call me and I pass the phone to yanyan
then she tells you and you write down loh.

BTW,
do you know of any local part-time maid
reliable, can do half day for 1m ?
Need to get yanyan to go to Macau this Sunday,
but if she can't get the visa
she needs to go back for 1m on or before 2 July !!

My nightmare again !!

Thought I could go over to Imm Dept and submit some form to get her a DH visa - extension of stay,
but went over with her passport today,
Imm Off said she has to exit HK.
If Macau doesn't work
then she has to go back to Ind imm !!

Will try :
1. Extension of visa for another 4m with Imm Dept tomorrow
(I applied for deferment to take home leave within 1y, Imm Dept's visa said 8m cos yanyan's passport only had 9m more to go.
Yanyan recently renewed passport, so I intend to bok 1 bok tomorrow, and try to extend visa by 4m, i.e. total 12m, = my original appl if yanyan's passport hadn't expired.)

2. If not successful, then yanyan goes to Macau on Sunday
Again to bok 1 bok and see whether visa will be granted.

3. If also not successful, then yanyan really needs to go home for 1m, and I need to call up 家務通.

I usually have bad luck with PT maids.

RMM,

1m leave, cos yanyan has been working for 5th and 6th y, and is entitled to more than 7 days a year ga.
So I count calendar days, then let her advance her leave eg Sundays. We both prefer this arrangement.
