24 Sep 2020 - Javier's Scratch Entry for Roszania! Imagine Cup

The Roszania! Imagine Cup is an annual hackathon competition for students to express their creativity and demonstrate their knowledge and skills in Computational Thinking to create meaningful artefacts.  Below is Javier's submission to this competition.  Personally I feel that Javier had done well for this project.  The animation is so detailed, down to the facial expression of the avatar.  Click here to see his project.

Do give him some encouragement by giving him a "Like" or leave a comment on his project.  :-)

20 Sep 2020 - More baking of cookies and oreo cake

Jerlene and Javier decided to bake some cookies and oreo cakes this afternoon.  After our lunch, we went to NTUC to get all the necessary ingredients before returning home.  Our very own "MasterChef" then started working on it.

Below was Javier's Oreo cake.  Though the presentation wasn't that great, the taste was good.  Javier actually found the recipe from the internet.

Jerlene on the other hand decided to bake more cookies.  Glad that the kids were able to get some time off from their screen and work on something more meaningful.  :-)


18 Sep 2020 - Loss of Eye Brow

This morning when I looked at Javier, he looks a bit different to me.  Then I took a closer look and realized that a portion of his eye brows actually went "missing".......
I quickly did some research on the internet and found that there are many causes for such eye brow hair loss.  Some of the possible causes are infection, skin conditions, hormonal changes, an overactive immune system, nutritional deficiencies, physical trauma, or emotional stress.  As we were a bit worried, we brought him to a clinic for further assessment by the doctor.  However, the doctor said it's difficult to tell what the cause is, unless he goes for further checks such as a blood test.  The doctor advised to monitor a while more to see whether the hair will grow back.  Anyway school exams are coming soon so probably we will monitor till the exam is over before deciding what to do.

14 Sep 2020 - Baking Cookies

Jerlene has learnt how to bake cookies from her Food and Consumer Education (FCE) lessons.  She decided to try it out at home today.

Though the edges of the cookies were a bit "burnt", I must say the cookies taste quite good.  Even Javier said it's NICE!  :-)
