Vocabulary Tests

I'm done with preparing three immediate vocabulary tests and a delayed test (for pre and/or post tests). I also have new circle of friends, not just some kind of friends but the "who's who" in the field of L2 Vocabulary Acquisitions. I contacted them through emails and mobile phones. They gave me helpful opinions and great insights into the topic that I'm researching. I admired how down-to-earth they are unlike others who think they are so damn great and think they are the best. Just like the song "You're so VAIN, I'll bet you think this song is about you, Don't you? Don't you?" Ha, ha...

Yesterday was Hadif's birthday

I didn't bought a cake for hadif's birthday yesterday. Instead I packed goodies in colourful plastic bags, put a tag (to indicate that they were from him) and gave to his friends at the taska. He refused to bring cake to the taska actually. He was bothered by a girl who liked to lick the cake's cream but he could not (perhaps he saw the girl licking someone's cake in the taska). So he said he wanted to eat the cake at home. I asked my husband to buy the cake on his way home after taking the kids, but he forgot. Luckily, Hadif didn't mention anything about it. I think what matter most in our kids' birthday is the thoughts of preparing "something" from their parents. It's to show that they are celebrated for their birthdays. A cake may be a good idea but it can be replaced with other things... Happy 4th Birthday, Hadif.
