Mainstream Defiler

If I were a person living in the middle ages, I would be a woman who knows how to read (at that time, people outside the church did not learn how to read/write) and just so happen to have a black cat, and was fried at the stake.

Since then, I never choose a role that's boring as so called 'mainstream role'.  Although I bought into 'mainstream' a long long time ago, thinking that I'd be an awesome accountant for the big 5 with a super IT husband and a pair of cutesy pie kids.  

To have life turned out like what it is now, is like trying to go to London-England, but somehow ending up at London-Canada.

I guess I'm a 'mainstream defiler' and I've been given a very much non-mainstream child.  Call her "special needs kid", call her "autistic", call her "naughty", I call her my love.

Everyday I wake up and thank the source for giving me the life that I never expected.  That my world is so different from my peers' and that makes me ready for anything and everything.

Learning Mandarin

Every time she comes back home from her Mandarin class, I check what new vocabularies she learnt.  I know most Chinese speaking children are probably onto their thousandth vocabs by her age, but I'm not in any hurry at all.  Hey, we have a lifetime of learning opportunity, everyone at their own pace thank you.

I'm no tiger moms and I see no point in trying to push your child to do the things they don't want because they came here with their own plus and minuses that is essential for their own mission.

Lets take a look at this week's vocabularies.

Pretty self explanatory, non?

The Little Grown Up

Since we have started homeschooling, my little 6 years old had learnt myriads of things especially on the environment and science.
It made me chuckle to see her using one finger to answer the questions. Perhaps it is time to get her to learn how to type.
