So... today is the 2nd last day of the month...... gonna kiss the month of May goodbye and welcome in the month of June!
To mark it, it has been and is going to be 1 year and 4 months since we first touched down and made Germany our new home.... so much has happened, so much has changed since we first came down. Amelia has celebrated 2 birthdays now in our new found home here. I myself have also celebrated 2 birthdays here. Amelia´s progress here, both emotionally, physically and education wise has grown and improved so much. She has gone, for her first year, to Kindergarten (aka Kita - in German) and she will be attending Vorschule (preschool) in summer this year. *proud mummy*
Her German has improved, in fact her German is extremely more fluent compared to her mummy - probably also because she is exposed to it daily, whereas for me I only use it when I go shopping and those are the extremely simple ones. The things she learns in Kindergarden daily is amazing and astounding! At her level, in Malaysia, we barely even learn half of what she learns at kindergarten. So I am extremely happy that she is coping and improving very well.... although with it comes the naughtiness, the stubbornness etc (like every normal kid have.... that drives the mummy and papa crazy and screaming xD). Knowing and seeing that she will be going up and attending Vorschule (in Malaysia known as Pre School) in summer makes me even prouder.
Celebrated my 30th birthday, kinda like..... 2 weeks back now. A small celebration between my own family... Amelia drew many wonderful drawing for me for my birthday, hubby took us out for a buffet lunch + dinner at our favourite Chinese cuisine - Ming Dynasty, gotten few surprises (the 1st one was the new iPad, which came 1 month before my birthday, a great Diablo III T-shirt, Diablo III back cover for my iPhone and new clothes ^^) also from hubby.... but the most important thing is having my beautiful daughter and remarkable husband celebrating it together with me. He really made it a very special event!
Yesterday, 29th May 2012, we went for a full body checkup at the doctor for Amelia. One of the requirements needed to enter Preschool and elementary school. The doctor had all checks from eyes, to knowledge to IQ everything. I was extremely proud when the doctor told us that she is improving very well for her age, far better than her own peers.... *feeling extremely proud* Kinda like the way they do things down here.... a health checkup and recommendation is required from the doctors to enter Kindergarten and all the following years of school! At least the doctor can show and prove that your child is capable of entering school and in good health!
My course is ending once again, the final course. Exams are on the 30th of May 2012 - my History & Politics paper! After that..... well, until further notice I am on holidays..... My 1st course exam results are only coming out around 12th of June...... and this coming exam on the 30th of May 2012.... well they need approximately 4 to 6 weeks before you can get back the results...
May has indeed been a wonderful month! Now looking onward to the month of June together with my small family :)
