Jwo Yi's life Part 2

by Ida Khoo @ Jwo Yi’s mummy

Part 2  is about we move to Shanghai. We move to Shanghai on the 17th Jan 2010. When we first came we stay at Renaissance Shanghai Zhongsan Park Hotel (No. 1018 Changning Road,,Changning District Shanghai, Shanghai 200042 Chin)

 

 After the first week you were sick. Down with fever. I'm so worry as this is your first time at a winter environment. But luckily after taking medicine you are all right. It's such a big change for you in lots of ways. 

 

One is the weather You are not use to winter clothing. You need to wear long-johns inside then only your long sleeve and long pants. Then when we go out you need to wear coat and scarf. Then because it's winter you need to apply body cream so that your skin is not too dry. After few weeks your leg looks so ugly because your skin dry until it crack. Gosh am I worry for you. But the most happiest for you is you bath only once per day. But when the time come for you to bath you'll cry as it's cold.

 

The second one is the food. You don't seems to like to eat the food here when we first get here. And as we stay in the hotel we eat out most of the time. You only like the spinach noodle or the fried fish in soy sauce with rice and you just eat the rice with the soy sauce and not the fish.  I worry for you too as you don't eat much. But all that changes when we move in to the rented  house as I cook everyday for you and you eat like normal again.

 

The third one is language problem. When we first enroll you in the new kindergarten  called Happy Valley Bilingual Kindergarten I'm a bit worry as the teachers there are local. And  they speak Mandarin in the class and you are not use to listen to Chinese at all. As most of your class in Penang is in English. But the head mistress said no problem you'll manage in no time. When I talk to the teaches in your class , it seems like they don't speak English. So I just teach you how to say  "Teacher I want to go pee" but this is another headache. You doesn't know how to squad down to pee. And you'll just cry when the teacher ask you to pee. You'll just hold until we get home and pee on the floor as you cannot hold any longer. I'm so mad at you and end up I have to ask your teacher to let you use potty.

 

I hope there won't be any more changes for you.

But that is just a hope that is not going to happen because we'll move back to Penang one day and that one day is ???????.

 

So Jwo there will be another change in the near future but I don't know when yet.

So we'll see and we'll change and adapt when the time come.
