Its been a while I last update here. I was always busy with something else that I kept procrastinating my writings. Finally took the effort to spare that precious 1.5 hours to think and write.
Josiah is now 1.26m and 26.6kg. Joshua is 1.15m and 21.6kg. Joshua is small but agile. He generally is more focus and better awareness of people and situation around him. Can occasionally pick a book to read. However he can lacks motivation when it comes to learning at times. Asking him to do homework can somethings be frustrating. Was told by teacher that he is a tab too quiet but is an independent learner.
Josiah is bigger and looks more matures. He can be well mannered and well loved especially when he is outside. Mum and Felin always comment that he looks handsome. Very curious and kept asking questions which I'm not that patient to keep answering because I simply feel that many questions are too broad and senseless to answer. The worrying part of him is his lack of self control on his temperament. He can quite easily meltdown for the smallest things that I felt ridiculous and when he wants somethings, he just wants it "NOW". Well... A lot of things to teach indeed like breathing exercise and self-talk etc... Also a need to teach him proper way to express his disappointment or anger.
For now, both boys love watching "Unspeakable" playing his minecraft game on Youtube. They can watch for an hour or 2 but will complain when I made them watch my Mandarin documentaries that shows the world and humanity even for 15 minutes. They are super reluctant to speak Mandarin and do not like expressing their thoughts and views when asked to. They love listening to Black Pink songs and the Black Pink girls are now our common topic, which I think Mum don't know as much as us. Lol...
They enjoy playing with Zi Qing and Jun Min for now. Jun Min is not in same school as them but they seem to play well together. We even went to their house for dinner recently. As for Zi Qing, Peter recently bought the Miniforce T-Shirt for them and they kept saying they are the best Miniforce team. We brought Zi Qing to church quite often but I'm not good in handling her as she is highly independent and not the type who can listen and follow instruction without a good reason and motivation. I'm just not that patient to teach her.
For Badminton, still not what I hope they can do. Josiah still struggle with serving the ball and his ball sense is not that good yet. Joshua seems better but somehow just inconsistent. They are learning from OBA but I'm not satisfied with their attitude in learning at times. In Basketball, Joshua is sharper too and Josiah is just a kind and gentle boy that don't really try steal the ball from others.
Its finally the end of their Primary 1 journey and is a teaser of what are to come in years ahead. Joshua surprised me with a Sportsman Award and he even went on stage to collect his award during an awards ceremony with Felin. I have never done that myself and he did it in Primary 1. It must be memorable for him. I have no idea how he was chosen but am proud of him and its something really unexpected.
As for Josiah, we dug out his Koobit medal and took picture of him with it. He was really disciplined to do all his Koobits tasks during the 2nd quarter of the year and was ranked no. 1 in school to get that award. Proud of him too but he stopped with Koobit entirely after the award and sad that he was just trying to win the award but not so much of wanting to learn.
With school holiday, I'm more involved with their daily work as they refused to go Student Care. I'm aware that I'm spending lesser time at work and tension been building up with Felin as I tends to go back late without adequately reporting to her. Been trying hard to be a good Father, good Husband and at the same time trying to find sales, especially now that sale is really down for me.
Just hope one day the boys will see the effort from us and will take more conscious effort to be wanting to do well in life. Only God knows their destiny. We are just steward and do our best.
