bbych2004,
Don't worry.  "Speaking more Cantonese" does not necessarily mean 英文退步, 只係Cantonese進步啫 which is definitely not a bad thing.  A lot of parents don't appreciate the importance of fluent Cantonese but I do.  Recently, I notice some of my neighbour's kids who speak English / Mandarin exclusively at home have a hard time adapting to school life.  Their language limitations hinder their social skills development, eg. less reluctant to play with other children, refuse to greet people, less likely to talk to strangers etc.  I foresee this may also affect their competitiveness when going to interviews.  Like other bilingual kids, Daniel also does not show significant improvement in English after going to SC.  However, I am still very pleased with his progress so far.  He has started to pick up a very nice British accent as opposed to his mixed accent before when he watched Barney (US) and Thomas (British) VCDs.  

Daniel is not trilingual, he has not been to any mandarin playgroups and has minimal exposure to our country's official language which I am very much ashamed of.  Do let me know if there is any good mandarin teachers around.

cherriemama,
Daniel also has funny expressions like
1. <黑燈>  eg.  我要黑燈 (I want to switch off the lights), 點解黑燈既? (Why the lights are off?).
2. <揸住實> I told him many times it's either <揸住> or <揸實> but he still says <揸住實>
3. 去食飯 waitress問幾多位, 佢always 爭住答 <X個大人, Y個細人 or BB人>

Hi danielboy,
I do appreciate the importance of fluent Cantonese  too since Cherrie's Cantonese always makes me headache! e.g. 唔對住(對唔住),黑天喇(天黑喇)

cherriemama,
<光燈> means turn on the lights?  Cherrie & Daniel 肯定溝通到, I agree. <BB人> only appreared for the first time last week as he never admits he is a baby.  We went to a restaurant together with another child who is only 6 months younger than Daniel.  He referred that child as <BB人>

danielboy

cherriemama,
Poor Cherrie.  I am extremely sorry to hear that.
不過小朋友活潑好動,跌傷好難免, 我哋小時候都唔知跌損膝頭幾多次, 我哋媽媽何嘗唔心痛?  但我哋呢? 好快忘記d痛, 又繼續玩繼續跑繼續跳, 你唯有咁諗, Cherrie好快唔痛已經開心番lu, 心痛suffer嗰個係你咋, 既然Cherrie開心番, 你唔洗唔開心啦, 今日食番飯啦 OK?

ernest's,
Thanks for your information but there is not much I can help because unlike Ernest, my Daniel never listens to me.  Whenever I talk about the topics he covered in school, he simply ignores me and even asks me to shut up. He never answers my questions seriously.  For instance, I asked him what a policeman uses, he replied, "He uses a fork, knife, plate and spoon, hahahaha.........."  I just have to keep my fingers crossed that he pays attention in class.  There is absolutely nothing I can do.

Daniel 都話有香腸, 魚片 & 菜.

HeiHeiMa,
你話過想俾Anson學 gymnastics, YMCA  個 new programme 啱啱出左喇, Level 1 有4個時間:
1. Tue 16:30-17:30
2. Wed 14:40-15:40
3. Fri 13:35-14:35
4. Sat 9:00-10:00
但Anson返PM,  應該只可報 Sat, members 12/12報名, non-members 17/12報名.

danielboy

HeiHeiMa,
原來妳咁近有得學咁就好喇, 因為YMCA non-member + Saturday class, 尤其游泳同體操有口碑, 係難報d架, onon1111囝囝嗰度妳真係值得考慮下.  但Daniel 由5月開始學到10月,已經習慣左YMCA嗰度既模式, 又特別鍾意其中一個教練, 所以會留番嚮YMCA.

danielboy

My Christmas ornament is an angel made from paper cup and cardboard paper and unused gift wrapper.  

HeiHeiMa,
Daniel 7月已經升左級, 但9月再考高d就升唔到級, Daniel 返am class,  所以一直學weekday 1:35pm, class size細d, (2對8 or 3對12) 由我pick him up from the school.

danielboy

chingyu,
You probably missed my message below posted yesterday morning.  I made an angel from paper cup, cardboard paper and unused gift wrapper.  

danielboy

chingyu,
Daniel helped me cut the angel's dress.  Surprisingly, he was not interested in the wings at all.  Ms. Aaron is also the substitute teacher in Daniel's class whenever Ms. Skye is absent.  I suppose he switches between the 2 campuses.  If we are talking about the same Mr. Aaron, he is not 靚仔喎, 肥佬黎架.

danielboy

Daniel 竟然有料報, 但得一單咁大把, 而且又係英文堂:-
D : I'm a little snowman short and fat........Build a snowman everyday........ (singing)
M : Ms. Skye 今日教架?
D : 係呀.
M : 咁Ms. Yiu教咩?
D : Nothing
M : Ms. Yiu教 nothing? 咁Ms. Yiu嚮classroom訓教呀?
D : 係呀, 佢仲snore添, 好大聲架 (扮鼻寒)

LaLa,
Perhaps you may take a look at this:-
Barney's Musical Castle

Daniel 都好堅決咁話唔使帶野, 呢期都鍾意唱Jingle Bells & We wish you a Merry Christmas, 但今日流行榜走勢有d變動,新上榜<I'm a little Snowman>走勢凌厲.

HeiHeiMa 寫道:
我個仔好堅決咁話唔o使帶o野o咼!  
不過佢呢期勁鍾意唱Jingle Bell, 唔知係咪學校教呢?

danielboy

chingyu,
I'm a little snowman係新架, 尋日先教, 但Daniel 唱足成個下晝我頂唔順, 叫佢唱第二隻佢唔肯, 上星期Daniel勁唱Jingle Bells 但尋日佢已經話唔鍾意, typical 男人!

danielboy

心心,
Hipo January 先執.

chingyu & all moms,
I don't think I am a typical 香港女人喇.  講開Chicken Little就嬲, 我husband 出 trip 返黎買左隻DVD, 心諗慳番唔洗帶Dan Dan 去戲院, 點知大少話要去戲院睇, 換左係你你會點?  

danielboy

sumyinmama,
Daniel 都係用手拉開我眼皮架!又係成日講是非, eg. "Linus話欣瑩係BB, 欣瑩話俾Ms. Yiu聽, Linus話"我講下之嘛"  嘩! 幾detail呀! 咁Ms. Yiu 講咩 story? "I don't know"仲有樣弊傢伙, Daniel is very much in love呀. 佢日日提Jacqueline 幾10次, 臨睡前放張相 on the pillow and said "I sleep with Jacqueline"
M:點解咁鍾意 Jacqueline?
D : Because she is cute.
N : 咁佢鍾唔鍾意你?
D : 佢唔鍾意我架, 但係我好鍾意佢.

唔怪得呢排無心向學啦!

sumyinmama 寫道:
佢會用手拉開我的眼皮，係唔係好恐怖﹗

danielboy

All moms,
Daniel's school bag無綠色嗰本線條練習 , 係咪今日無功課定我家隻大頭蝦又執漏野?

chingyu,
Chicken Little 睇左5 minutes 大少就話唔睇喇, 如果咁我仲去戲院咪自己揾自己笨? 叻? 係呀, 我最叻咪就係玩囉, 嚮做亞媽方面就一d都唔叻, HeiHeiMa就真係叻喇.

TSLiu,
Daniel 2歲時個maid返完Philippines又係好emotional, 放心啦, this will not last forever,  你好快靚番架喇.

sumyinmama,
爸爸話唔關佢事!

danielboy

sumyinmama & 妍妍媽,
原來冇homework, thanks a lot.

cherriemama,

8. 27/12 - buffet at Disneyland Hotel
9. 30/12 - buffet at Gold Coast 玩充氣playground

31/12, 1/1 & 2/1未有著落, 有冇suggestion?

cherriemama 寫道:
請問大家聖誕有冇好去處?到而家仲未諗到節目,有咩好提意呀?

danielboy

cherriemama & HeiHeiMa,
唔係 good mother, 淨係1, 6 & 8係自己安排, item 4係我一直想俾Daniel去, 其他攪手都唔係我, 係d good mother(s)安排晒, 跟住叫埋我啫.

cherriemama,
Dan Dan 22 & 23都要返 Kids Gallery, 同Cherrie又緣慳一面.

danielboy

cherriemama,
Dan Dan 103-104cm高喇, but as far as I know, it makes no difference 喎!  They charge children by their age, not their height ie 3-7 ($38) & 8-14 ($98).  我哋好大棚人, 有6個小朋友呀!

cherriemama 寫道:
Hi danielboy,

又會咁o岩,我又係安排o左buffet at Gold Coast 玩充氣playground,不過我book 24/12,去完話你知好唔好玩!! BTW,Dan Dan夠唔夠1米高?我都唔知Cherrie夠唔夠,我諗住博大霧,俾o左$38咋,到時唔得先算!

danielboy

HeiHeiMa,
我都有留意bk單野, 但我記得嗰個係BB(under 3), ie free of charge, 所以Gold Coast 話冇預位, 仲叫佢帶stroller, 幾衰呀.

cherriemama,
Maybe you are correct because my information is from Next Magazine which is not very reliable. Anyway, 攪手做booking係另一媽咪, 我叫佢打去clarify先.但佢應該當Daniel under 1m, 因佢叫我 pay her back $3XX 咋!

danielboy

cherriemama,
Ocean Park個 Christmas Sensation應該不錯喎, 你20號無著落可以join埋我哋, 我哋E+有3個小朋友, 得Daniel 一個男仔.

心心,
Why?  Dan Dan 6月嗰次去日本好興奮喎, Naoki係咪唔捨得d girlfriends 呀? 你邊日去呀?去幾耐呀?
