Drained and sick

Today dinner: Chicken chop noodle soup and Fried Dumpling

Soup is not as tasty as I thought. But the fried chicken is nicely done. I shared the noodle with Faith. Maybe is near to closing time, the stall owner is very generous with the noodles. End up can't finish the noodle. Missing the hubby to share fried dumpling with me. I went home with a very full stomach after stuffing myself with ten dumpling and 1/2 bowl of noodle.

Withdrawal from Shichida

Today we officially withdraw our darling from Shichida. She has been with Shichida since age of 2. She is turning 4 4 coming January. Out of this two years, she skipped 3 terms (9 months) as she stayed oversea during that period.

So far, we did not see any significant result on her from this enrichment. However, I still believe in using flashcards in regular basis to broaden her knowledge. When we were overseas, I flashed picture and dots cards to her almost everyday. In few occasions, when she saw the picture that I flashed to her in real life, she will say the name out loud.

Most activities covered in the Shichida method benefit the child if they are done on regular basis. Sometimes I feel the once a week session is to teach parents how to implement the method at home. Read more the method here.

So why we withdraw her?
We feel that what is covered could be done at home. The money we saved in this enrichment could put her in other enrichment that we couldn't teach ourselves.

Will I send my next child here?
No. But I will start the flashcards with the next child at home in earlier age.

Today dinner: Spicy chicken noodle

Delicious and reasonable price ($3.30). Selling at Marine terrace coffee shop which is just beside wet market.

My macair is panic now

This morning I was trying to sync the iPad on macair. Unfortunately the iTunes hanged and I thought restarting the machine will help. Who knows, it is so stubborn and refuse to shut down. I then trying to be smart and pull out the USB since sync not started. Then machine shut down immediately. Happy for a sec and continue pressed power button. A grey screen with a nice message saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.". Of course I followed the instruction but the same message displayed. I got frantic and immediately searched online using my iPad to look for solution. I tried safe boot, reset pram, and few more suggested resolution but none resolves my issue. ....

This screen still persists. Really hope I could resolve this issue with no cost since I already spent a fair bit in reviving it two months ago.
