First of all ,I would like to wish Happy Thanksgiving to those who are in US and A. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.Yesterday I baked some cookies for Mishu's class party today.I 'm too late to sign up for the party food ,so baked some cookies in goody bag for her classmate.
Well,for us Roast turkey is a must for our Thanksgiving dinner. Eliot love turkey but for me I mush prefer chicken then turkey.Since we only celebrate Thanksgiving once a year,so having Turkey for dinner is fine with me.This year I plan not to cook elaborate dinner like before.Maybe I will cook some pumpkin soup,string bean ,sweet potato and pumpkin pie.Will update our Thanksgiving dinner meal in next post.So for now,let me show you around Mishu weekend chinese school..
this is a middle school not far from our home but it's a different school district from our township.So in order for Mishu to study her chinese lesson there ,we have to paid extra fee. 
since her Chinese school gave her plenty of textbook which required her to bring some to her class every weekend,I better get her another school bag to solve the problem from shifting her book around to Preschool 's bag to Chinese school bag each week.. 
her Chinese school teacher suggest me to stay with her in her class during the lesson to help her which I'm so glad.She notice Mishu can't gather the instruction she teach.Mishu can't understand what the pages or numbers yet.Parents who want to stay with their child during lesson have to paid for the fee. But for me it's FREE since I can speak and understand Mandarin,that mean it's not my intention to sit in the class to learn as the rest of the parents .
this Middle school district allow the Taiwanese Associate to use their classrooms during weekend with few condition..
after Mandarin class,the students moved to the culture class which is either Tai-Chi or Chinese Calligraphy
among the students Mishu is the youngest one in term if age.Mostly the student are Chinese gals adopted by American parents.Mishu get bored so easily,she keep nagging me she doesn't want to attend culture class bcoz I didn't join her.Most of the time I just stand at the hall waiting for her.So this coming weekend(Thanksgiving) Mishu don't have Chinese class which she is so happy!! Hooray!! that mean no homework!!
I been drinking this "hor yan hor tea" for the last few weeks since I was not feeling well..This "hor yan hor" tea taste yucky according to Mishu but I added some dried plum to make it's taste acceptable..I forget to get some sea coconut drink for coughing when I visited Chinatown..Well,maybe next time...yeah,we can get anything (Malaysia or Asian food or stuff) in US and A ,Chinatown if $$ is not an object!!Talking about Malaysia stuff,I got a "kopi sieve in clothes",it's like the "kopi tiam" style sieve...now I wonder why I got the clothes sieve..will show you the photo next post!

Tell Mishu I say Hi, and tell her she is really a good kid, ever since I came to US, no kid have every address me as aunty Nicole, they all only call me Nicole..Mishu really have very good manners and very good upbringing from you and your hub. Even those kid are only two years old and can talk, they call me Hey Nicole..hahhaha. Funny but it is USA...I better get used to it...=P. It is always nice when you see a exceptionally well mannered kid..like Mishu..
