shoppingmum Most people will tell me that Justin is a very good boy, except when he is playful. He can be a sweet little koh koh to Isabelle, and he can also be that little monster that disturbs his sister to the max until she cries. But overall, I think he’s OK and very independent.
He likes reading a lot, and we still have to read to his selection of books. Actually, he can sit by himself, browsing through the pictures and reciting the contents that he’s familiar with already, but he likes us to read out loud to him. He likes books about animals, dinosaurs, transportation, and he is getting interested in recognizing the different countries in the world. He knows where Ipoh, Penang (Malaysia in general), Bangkok (Thailand la…), Japan, Africa, Australia and etc are by pointing to the atlas. He likes to talk about some of the trips we had like seeing the sleeping volcano in Bali, most of the zoo and farm visits, and a few beach vacations we went together. I guess he knows more about general knowledge instead of academic learning these days.
Yesterday, it was his turn to raise the Thailand national flag, and I managed to snap a photo before they sang the national anthem. Hubby and I joked that Justin has never raised our national flag before but already did so for Thailand flag. LOL! I guess my kids might grow up confusing about their nationality, unless we tell them more about Malaysia…
Justin was going to raise the flag at school.
He likes school a lot, and he said he doesn’t want to go back and study in Ipoh anymore. I think it’s due to the learning methods practiced at his current preschool, which is more interesting to young children. We were surprised to see the school teachers dressing up like soldier, singer, nurse, policewoman and etc when they were teaching about occupations, or bringing the children to see the trees and plants in the garden when they were learning about plants, and today, Justin has another excursion to the Bangkok Aquarium to visit the aquatic animals (they supposed to go to Dusit Zoo, but it’s situated near the Parliament House, which is the hot spot of riot these days). I can’t read their weekly theme because it’s in Thai, so I guess they are learning about animals this week. I think he will enjoy this trip and talk about his trip later when we pick him up from school.
 Hubby let Justin join the taekwondo class and he likes it. He “practices” with hubby almost everyday, before dinner, and I’m amused to see the two “boys” acting like kungfu pandas. LOL! Little Isabelle cannot join the class as hubby doesn’t want her to be boyish. 
Justin will be 4 years old next month, and we still haven’t thought of how to celebrate his birthday. There will be a cake for him to school and he wants Power Ranger! He is over with Barney now because he said “I grow up already mah, only baby likes Barney.”:)
