Thank you Kak Aizam!

Tina and I managed to lunch with Lin as well.
Everytime if I have photoshoot, Lin always will visit the studio one to kepo kepo.. eh salah...to give moral support to me. Heh!
Such an awesome friend you are Lin. *rolls eyes*
But yeah, sayang her. When I was pregnant with Nyla, she used to mail me pregnancy magazines every month. Sweet stuff this friend!


Moving on, since face already got make up, might as well do photoshoot for the new batch of "Like a pearl in its shell" scarves. Thank you my Tina for being an all rounder!

2 fuchsia...
4 coffee latte..
2 red..

Wore canary yellow shawl last Saturday for our storytelling session at Jurong East Library last Saturday.
If previously, Nyla would only read the dialogues part, now that she is a fluent reader, she took the lead last Saturday and did the reading aloud of the whole book on her own. Great job Nyla!
Mommy can now just sit back, relack jack and flip those pages.

Okay my ladies,

KISS

My namecards are ready for collection. Yey!



I'm teaching today so I'll be going to the office tomorrow to collect them.

Also, the past few weeks, I have been collecting so many flyers for research purposes.

Now that I am a registered real estate salesperson, it is time for me to create my very own flyer.
I have already chosen my G.T.A (Geographical Target Area) so if you do spot my flyer around your neighbourhood, please don't throw away hor. :p


2 things here.

Either my flyer FLY away into the bin.
Challenge here is that people just toss flyers without even looking at them. :(

OR

If done right, my flyer can make a huge difference and help me become a real estate HIGH FLYER!

Whatever it is, will apply the "Keep it short & sweet" principle.
After all, success lies in the simplicity, not complexity.
Let's give this a shot.

Dumbcane & Daffodils

The past month, Jenn and I have been meeting up rather frequently.
One, to discuss about the Primary 1 workshop which was succesfully executed about 2 Saturdays ago.


Thank you to our lovely participants. :)

Two, we are currently teaching creative writing enrichment lessons at THREE primary schools now every week. Heavygoing but super fulfilling. Brings back such wonderful memories of classroom teaching.


Yes, I have received Facebook PMs and emails with regards to 'writing workshops' for you parents and kiddos. Will blog about that in the coming entries k.

For now, it is Sharing is Caring time. I have just finished reading this book,"Dumbcane and Daffodils- Timmy Tim Tales" recommended by Jenn.


Nyla is only at Chapter 6. Because this book is suitable for upper primary children, I read aloud to her 1 chapter a night. She's liking si Timmy (the central character) alot. Wanna know what is so special about this book other than the fact that the author (Viknesh) is local?
Viknesh embarked on this writing journey when he was 10 years old and 2 years later, in 2008, Dumbcanes and Daffodils- Timmy Tim Tales was published. So there, he is considered as a child author la! Just like Nyla.
So all the more we all must support!
I am all for young AND local talents! :)


So cute!

I would like to mention that this interesting book offers an ideal writing reference, especially for Primary 3 to Primary 6 pupils, as it exposes them to different genres like letter writing and diary entry.

P5s/P6s, think Situational Writing!

I especially applaud Viknesh for the effective use of dialogues in this book. I personally feel that dialogues can make a narrative come to life because a dialogue creates an action, since the characters are speaking. It can quicken the pace of a story....create tension.... etc. The word 'said' is often used by children when it comes to dialogues.
I totally dig Viknesh's variety! Lovely stuff I tell ya.


On this page alone, there are a few. 'uttered'...'responded'....'replied'.....and many more as you keep flippin' the book.

Viknesh is a big boy already now.

Sapppp Macho seh. :p

Currently preparing for his O level examinations, he is also looking forward to his upcoming book launch next month! Congratulations.



I admire his (and mom's) dedication in reaching out to the masses with regards to 'Dumbcane and Daffodils-Timmy Tim Tales.' It has been a long journey for them both. Since 2008 leh. It's 2012 now and they are still 'swimmin'!

Viknesh's mom, Mohana shared with me something heartwrenching.
Mohana: Viknesh was very proud when the books were published. He was very happy because his schoolmates bought his books. Then overtime, he became sad because he still had balance of the books and they were collecting dust at home. :(

With the support of his parents, Viknesh then plucked up the courage and introduced his book in bookstores just early this year! Loving the Never-Give-Up attitude brudder!

I have already tele-chatted with Mohana, Viknesh's mom and ordered copies for my tutees.
I am most certain that my tutees' quality of their compositions will be enhanced after reading Viknesh's Dumbcane and Daffodils -Timmy Tim Tales.
One, because the language power.
Two, because they will definitely be inspired to write like Viknesh!



People, what Viknesh has accomplished is totally remarkable.

1 'Dumbcane & Daffodils -Timmy Tim Tales' book is $10 only.
Suitable for the P3/P4/P5/P6 children, do get it for your children, nieces, nephews, cousins, tutess, pupils.
Yeap, gonna do a 'repeat telecast'! : Books truly make the best gifts.

Email Viknesh's mommy [mohana6469@yahoo.com.sg] to purchase a copy!
Remember to quote 'Nura J blog' for FREE normal postage.
Happy reading children....and if you are reading this aloud to the younger ones, happy reading aloud mommies and daddies!
I assure you it is an entertaining read.
Happy touching base with Viknesh and Mohana! :)
