kitbest:Hi mudcookie & Kiasumami, finnaly saw some 1D parents here. 
Ya, you are right. Seems 1D not much activities, homeworks, etc. Think so far only 2 days hv 1 page Hanyu PinYin homework, no english or math homeworks at all.
By the way, we want to go back DD grandma house in M'sia on CNY eve, but understand got half day morning school. Not sure whether can skip 1 day don't go school. Any advice on how to apply that? :?
Hi kitbest,
It seem the HYPY goes quite fast, my DS told me teacher has taught P12 of the Chinese textbook and yesterday has 1.5 page of Chinese homework. Nothing for English and Math so far. I think my DS's school bag is quite heavy, the Chinese books still in her bag since received the note from teacher last Friday. Is your DD's school back heavy also?
DS told me she has to bring the correct \"A\" size drawing block on Friday, I keep asking her what \"A\" size (A3, A4 or A5??) drawing block but she insisting \"A\" size only, I told her to ask teacher one more time but she said \"Teacher won't repeat\", I told her to check with her friends but she said \"they won't repeat\" ...I almost fainted ... from communicatin here, I guess it should be \"A4\" size lah.
Yesterday I asked my DS try to buy snack during recess time (her 1st time) since there are some 'jie jie' taking care, I asked her in the evening did she buy snack and what did she buy, she told me \"I bought some buscuit, (she open her eyes very big) it's very cheap 30cents only, the aunty gave me 70cents back ... eventually DS finished her dinner very fast, I guess she was hungry... think it's a very good experience to her, I asked her go to buy snack again today but this time has to buy other food like noodle, sandwich ... I'll see what she tell me this evening.
