Happy New Year 2012..

Let's take a look at my 2011.. I would say that I had fulfill some of them.. some need more improvement

In 2011, I wish for personal growth,

• I wish to develop my competency at work,
• develop my patience with my family members and all people whom I interact with..
• more wisdom to guide Ken and Wenn not only in academic but also in life..
• also to grow in faith, I wish to be more active in Soka activities and thus to deepen and strengthen my faith in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism..

Work
ahh, I'm a perfectionist.. and I think I did this well.. and since it's my passion.. I find the time spent rewarding and fulfilling.

Patience
though I would say I screamed at Ken less during his P2 year compared to P1.. need more improvement

Wisdom
think I did this OK for now.. I know this will be an ongoing process.. Therefore, I wish I can grow and adapt my guidance as the kids grow older..

Faith
I completed my Kaneko Group training. Kaneko Group is a group for Women Division (WD) to meet up once per month to learn and share the spirit of Soka Women Division.. I managed to attend all the meetings.. and learned a lot.. however, the putting into practice is the difficult part.. so for this, I definitely could do better..

Summary of my 2011:

• Generated a list of worksheets for Ken to strengthen his maths concept
• Taught Wenn Sight Words
• Wenn's first milk tooth fell off
• Watched a list of 2011 Summer Movies..
• I permed my hair first time since working..
• We bought new pets..
• for the June holidays, we went to Jurong Bird Park and had a road trip to Cherating..
• We replaced our bathroom doors..
• On 1st Sep, we set up a parenting website SGMoms.Net
• Wenn graduated from Soka Kindergarten
• Ken was awarded the Model Student Cetificate

Although I did not blog about it, Ken had improved in his results. He scored 65% in his Term 3 (CA2) Maths.. I got such a shocked.. because we consistently did Maths questions.. And, because of his results, I made him worked very hard in Maths.. It was madness.. but in the end, he scored 98% for his Maths in his SA2 (final year exams).. It's something I wish that it would not be repeated.. the stress is stressful.. haiz.. And I wonder how am I going to cope with Ken and Wenn in Primary School in 2012..

But, let's start the new year with new hope.. Though it will be hard, I will work together with my children.. I will work on my attitude, my faith.. I will shower EM with more love, less grumpiness.. Many years from now, I hope my children will remember that I give my best and they should too..

Lastly, here's wishing all my dear readers.. "May 2012 be a year of possibilities."
