Once lost, it can never be reclaimed .Dad and mom really hope that you could use time wisely for your development and advancement.
You are evaluated on your technique, ear training, sight reading, performance skills and written theory test at each level. Just like in a performance, skill and confidence are the most important in a successful exam, and practicing will help you achieve that. If you know better, you could do it better. Girls, after your exam is finished, relax and enjoy yourself a little, and get ready for your next grade.
Lydia and Priscilla, if you do your part in practicing, you will know how to play all the notes on the piano, basic music theory, technical exercises, and how to figure out a piece of music you've never seen before.

Bei En also joined the camp. Three of you sang together, laughed together, sweat together, and cheered each other on.

Each group was obliged to present their own performance. Parents and church members came to support the event.
The hardest part about camps was saying goodbye.

Kids are left with a positive and memorable camp experience after having such three days of fun. Church camp is round the corner. Dad and mom are looking forward to the greatest camp for both of you to join. Church camp can be a place where young people develop leadership abilities and a sense of personal vocation.

Playing with Barbie dolls on Sunday

It was 9.11.2008. After Sunday School, Yokie and Jia Yi came to our home.Four of you spending endless hours playing with her Barbie dolls. Barbie doll played a major role during this afternoon. From clothing to furniture to cars and homes, Yokie seemed to have all of the latest Barbie toys.

Barbie is well loved by little girls. Barbie doll has kept up with the times and trends. Over 1 billion fashions have been produced since 1959 for Barbie and her friends. She has firmly established herself as the most popular fashion doll ever created.

Dad, mom and Kakak Siti made biscuits in the afternoon. This was a delicious old-fashioned recipe from gu po. Understanding these ingredients will help you make great biscuits. The great thing about this program was that four of you could make it your own. Decided what biscuits to bake, which animal's shape you honor.

Girls, divide dough into many portions. Dust some plain flour into the biscuit moulds, then press dough into mould. Next, invert onto baking tray. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, leave to cool.
Four of you couldn't wait to try them. Four impatient little girls.
Both of you spent a very enjoyable afternoon with Yokie. Yokie felt like it was home. Lydia and Priscilla, we have a lot to learn about art of hospitality.
