Andrew fell down so many times, now he knows how to get off of the bed. When He get off of the bed, he will be very carefully. He won't hurt himself anymore. I am very proud of my son. He is big now and he will fly soon.
Here is the video of Andrew on how he gets off of the bed by himself.

My baby Andrew is 10 months now. He can stand and He can walk a little bit now. He always wants to go to one place and another. He has his own thinking now. Unlike before, I put him in one place, he will be quiet and doing nothing. Now, it is hard for me to put him in one place, because he will move a lot abd cry a lot.

Nice Surprised from Teddy

I've been taking Teddy's class J2D for 5 days now. He wanted to show his appreciation to me by giving me a big gift to Andrew. he gave Andrew red envelop $1,200. I know his kindness, he doesn't have to do give red envelop to Andrew.

Caroling

It is so hard to see or feel Christmas Holidays here in Taiwan. It is not National Holiday like in USA, Europe or Latin America countries. When I was a little, people were coming to my house and sing Holiday's songs. I could feel Holidays season. However, here in Taiwan I did not even feel holidays season over here. For this reason, I want my students go Caroling and giving their love to people by singing songs. It is the first time and the last time for students to sing songs for people. Students need to learn from this time how to love people and be polite. They also need to learn how to perform or giving a good presentation in front of people.


My J1G is really preparing very hard to go to sing downstairs. We really rehersal more than one time.
It is the show time. I am very glad everyone sings very well.
The Dean of Students Affairs office came to see them closely. Even my students were so nervous, the people in the office still like them very much. It will feel X'mas.

SK X'mas Present

This morning, when I came to work, I saw a lot of presents on my table and a card saying Nela. Every year in our school "Sheng-Kung" celebrates X'mas. The principal and the PTA parents will give us a gift and X'mas card. I can feel the warmth of holiday here in Taiwan. Actually, X'mas is not a Taiwanese National holiday, so a lot of people do not celebrate it. However, now in Taiwanese schools no matter if there's private or public catholic or non catholic school will still have X'mas programs. For Catholic school they know what the meaning of X’mas is but for non-catholic schools, probably they will have the wrong idea what is X'mas all about. Anyways, I do not know what your idea about x’mas is, but I can feel the Holiday season at Sheng-Kung.

Andrew is on the Stage

On Dec. 24th, our school had a X'mas program. The entire school will watch the show on different performances. Even teachers will perform on the stage. I did a performance on the rich woman and Andrew was playing the role of baby Jesus.

The day before the performance, I was talking to my son to be good because 2,000 will watch him. He really listened to me. Therefore, on the day of the performance, he was really good. He did not even cry or yield. I was closer to him on the stage. I was watching him; I am very proud of my son he was really good and quiet seating there and watch other people. Thanks God for giving me such a good present of life. I am very grateful for having a great family and a lovely husband.

Also another Santa is coming with reindeer on the tree.

Rock Climbing

This weekend we went to E-Da Mall again. Alan tried rock climbing. At first, he really didn't want to try but after the lady said, I will give you a coach, at that time, Alan decided to try it. he really did a great job trying the rock climbing. I had to pay $150 dollars for whole day long. You can climb, play basketball and tennis until the store is closed. Once Alan like it, he was climbing and climbing until the top. He really likes it.

Also, there's a section for children and another one for adult. The adult section is more dangerous and harder to climb. I did rock climbing before when I went with students for study tour to Australia and England. If you did not have rock climbing before, you can go to E-Da Shopping Mall.

Alan Got Hurt

I know when children were playing together sometimes, they will argue or flight. Alan did a science project for school. This project should be done in group. However, the team from Alan's group didn't like to do anything, so Alan did it by himself. However, one of his classmates broke his work while he went to the bathroom. When he came back from the bathroom, he saw his work was broken and he start to be very sad. and angry. He was asking who broke his work and the child start to hit him. The child broke Alan's eyes. I really do not know what is wrong with education now in these days. Everyone can get hurt at school, everyone should teach better things to people. As mom, I am very sad because I do not want my son hurt people and I do not want people to hurt my son.

Andrew Can Go Shopping

Now, Andrew is 10 month old, he knows how to go shopping with us. Once he gets into the shopping cart, he will look around and search for his cookies, juice and vegetables. He knows what he can get. When he sees his rice crackers in the counter, he will get it and hold it and he will look at me. By just looking at me, he wants me to buy it. He is really smart. Doing groceries now, can be fun with Andrew and Alan.

Andrew is Driving

Andrew, drive me home! I want to go home, Adnrew. He is only 10 month old and he can drive a car. My little Adnrew is laughing because I told him to drive me home, ha ha ha...

E-Da World

This weekend, I went to Kaoshion. I discovered a new fantancy world. It is E-da World. They have European style building, outlet shopping, theme park, college, golf place and a huge hotel. Everything is in one place. Also, inside the mall, there's an ice skating place. If adults want to go shopping, children can stay there and play for two hours. However, the price is not cheap. Two hours for ice skating is $2XXNT something, plus skating shoes and other stuffs will be $100 NT, so total will be $3XXNT. More than that, there's also a rock climbing and other outdoor activities.

By just looking around and take some pictures, I think that's enough for me. Alan wants to go to the theme park next time. The entrance of the park is like $5XXNT for children price and adults, I forget how much. We are waiting for my husband's family comming from HK, I will bring them over there.

Overall, it is amazing place, I never seen place like this in Taiwan. More or less, it is like Mall of America in MN, USA. There's everything in one place. But the parking in Mall of America is free and here in E-Da world, people need to pay for parking space.

2010 Taipei International Floral Expo

Taiwanese should be proud of themselves for having such an important event in the history. No matter when I go to the expo, it will be a lot of people waiting in line. Some sections are restricted, people have to go early in the morning and get the entrance tickets. If you do not get the entrance tickets, you cannot go inside. I am planning to go at end of this month and during Chinese New year. If I do not go, I will miss the history. I heard the place is awsome and the flowes are beautiful.

In the following are the videos for you to see.


Here are more flowers to see.
