[quote=\"jesyeo\"]Hi all,


Can I check with you, my DH said DD has to record down the storybooks that she read on the helpmate, and every 4 story books read, she can go color the chart pasted in the classroom. My DH said it can be any story books but DD said can only be those from the school library. Anyone can advice me who is right?

Hi jesyeo,
Like what funkymonkey said, your DD can record down any books that she reads. Every 4 books she reads, she can colour a star on the chart behind the classroom. Those who reads a lot will be rewarded at the end of the term. A good incentive for the child to read. Just ensure your DD gets her teacher to initial the books she wrote down before she colours the chart....some teachers want to check the list first.

BTW, how's your mom now?? Hope she's feeling better now.

Thanks Tinkerbell.

Mom is finally emotionally better now after she got tranferred to community hospital. She will need to be there for at least 2 weeks and after that will need to go for Day Rehab. Hopefully she will be able to gain back most of her strength soon. :)[/quote]Good to hear that. Hang in there, mummy!!!

Trying to loose weight??

Tips:
- Go for a 20mins walk every morning before u eat anything
- Eat Salad at night
- Eat more vegetables than meat

My DH has been doing that and he really lose alot of weight after a few months.

Thanks for the tip, jesyeo. Really?? Just 20 mins walk every day. This I can manage but salad at night....that is a bit challenging. Dunno if I can survive on salad for dinner..keke. I will work towards that goal..losing weight will be my CNY resolution. Ok, ok, think I'll start after CNY. Can't resist all those yummy goodies la... :drool:
