My Punishment..Sob...sob...

2010-06-09T23:40:00.002+08:00

It's the school holidays & mummy decided to buy a few enrichment books for me, as recommended by Auntie Dsii.

I was very happy & decided to show off my skills once we reached home. However being me, I couldn't concentrate on the work & soon started to doodle on the book.

Mummy was very mad & told me she was going to mark my books. Those with good work will receive a tick whereas those written badly will be given a cross.

Being the stubborn me, I still think it's pretty funny & doesn't think too much about her comments. ...not until I saw SOoooo many crosses on my book that I started to cry. Bahhaaa...

KL & Genting Trip

2010-06-09T14:06:00.003+08:00

It's the long weekend & mummy decided to organise a family trip to Msia.

Daddy is supposed to head up to KL for work so we tagged along for the trip. While daddy was away, mummy brought me around KL to shop & eat. It was very hot & I felt very tired walking for so long so I kept whinning at mummy to go back to our hotel room to rest.

By then, it was already 9pm so we slowly walked back to our hotel & took a nice warm bath. I was slipping into dreamland when daddy finally returned. We had an early night as we're heading up to Genting Highland the next day.

We reached First World Hotel at almost 330pm the next day & it was PACKED!. I guess it's the public holiday so everyone, including Malaysians & Singaporeans came here. We had to queue up to take a queue number to check-in our room. Even though we got a better room & the price is cheaper, mummy still prefer staying at Resort Hotel simply because she cannot stand the queues. We waited for another 1hr before we checked in. By then, it was 5pm. Time for dinner!

I was very exciting looking at all the indoor amusement rides & kept yelling that I wanted to play now. Mummy told me as the day is over, it'll be better if we buy the tickets for tomorrow instead. I was very nice & agreed to the plan. We had a nice dinner & went to catch a Shrek at the movie theatre.

It was 10pm by the time we reached our room & we were so exhausted that I refused to shower before bed. Mummy had to entice me with the bathtub before I willingly take a bath.

The next day, I woke up pretty early & run straight to the windows where I can see theview of the outdoor amusement park . I can hear people screaming away in excitment & bells ringing from the rides. I hurridly woke daddy & mummy up & we're soon on our way.

We bought our day tickets first before heading for breakfast. Even though it's still early, the place is already jam packed. We took our breakfast & hurried to the outdoor amusement park. Luckily there weren't much people at the outdoor park, so we took our own time taking all the rides.

Hey, outdoor rides are SO MUCH more exciting & fun than indoor rides! I LOVE it. When it's time for my nap, I don't even wanna leave but mummy had to drag me away. SIGH...

After our nap, it's almost time for dinner. Thereafter we caught a movie, Prince of Persia & later on decided to try out the Snow City. Before we can go in, we have to put on rental jackets, boots & gloves. But OMG! The rental boots were soggy & wet inside. And there was a stench coming out from the boots. It's DISGUSTING! Luckily, I'm allowed to wear my covered shoes in so I don't have to endure the smelly boots. Pity mummy & daddy.

As we were approaching the snow, the whole place smells like a BIG fridge. Daddy says the man-made snow looks dirty but we braved on. It was terribly cold inside, despite my jacket. I kept trembling & huddled myself together. I saw a slide inside & decided to take a ride. WEEeeee...down I come. Soaking my pants in the process.

I decided it's enough fun & urged mummy & daddy to leave. We had enough fun & it's soon time for bed. We have to check-out the room tomorrow so we had better sleep early tonight.

The next day, we left the hotel at 12noon & begin our journey down. We reached JB at around 33pm & shopped for a little. Then we had our dinner at Taman Sentosa before driving back to S'pore. There's no traffic at the customs so the drive back is very smooth.

We reached home at around 7pm & daddy soon left for work while mummy unpacked everything & prepared me for bed.

What A TRIP!

My Art Works

2010-05-21T13:33:00.003+08:00

Mummy was cleaning up the house & she chanced on all the artworks that I've done over the years. So she decided to compile them into pictures instead.

Here goes...

Kaylyn & Mummy was watching TV together. It shows a lady puking in the toilet because she was pregnant.

Kaylyn: Mummy, why did the auntie puke? Is she sick?
Mummy: No dear, auntie has a baby inside her stomach.
Kaylyn turned her head & stare at mummy with awe.
Kaylyn: Mummy, do u also have a baby inside your stomach?
Mummy: No dear...why do u ask tat?
Kaylyn: Mummy wants to puke in the car just now.
Mummy: Iwas car sick cos Daddy's car was jerking so violently just now.

Sentosa Resort World

2010-02-16T23:37:00.006+08:00

Another visit to Sentosa for sand play again. Daddy & mummy prefer Sentosa beach compared to Pasir Ris beach & East Coast beach as the sand here is cleaner & finer. Amenities are also plentiful here.

This time round, we decided to bring Ye Ye & Nai Nai along as it's been donkey years since they last came to Sentosa. While we were busy building sand castles, Ye Ye & Nai Nai roamed around the beach & crossed the hanging bridge to visit the small island opposite the beach. I could even see Ye Ye & Nai Nai from where I was sitting.

We soon grew bored of building sand castles & decided to try our hand in frisbee. It was my 1st time playing frisbee but mummy reckened it's good enough. I can perfect the sport as time passes.

It's soon dinner time & we settled our dinner at Kofu foodcourt. We had a simple meal & later decided to check out Sentosa Resort World before it opens. We parked at the Convention Centre basement carpark & enter Hard Rock Hotel (they're linked). Although the Resort World is not opened yet, but Singaporeans are already flocking the hotel restuarants for good food. We walked past a buffet restaurant at Hard Rock Hotel & it was already filled with hungry patrons.

As the casino is not linked, we have to walk out of the Convention Centre & strolled a short distance away to Hotel Michael. The casino is situated at the basement of Hotel Michael & we have to take a few flight of escalators down. The LED displays & bright mirrors accompanied the long escalators before we finally reached the entrance of the casino. The displays are simply spectacular! See it to believe! Alas, the casino had not been granted the relevant permit from the authorities yet, so we couldn't enter. We could only take some videos of the entrance & it's surroundings.

There's another escalator that goes out of the casino which leds us to the water fountain & laser display show. It was good timing too as the techinicians were just going through a run of the laser fountain show so mummy managed to video it down.

On the other side of the fountain, is the entrance to the Universal Studio theme park. Alas, the theme park was not open yet too. Well, mummy promised to bring me to the theme park next time so I'm not too worried. :)

Ye Ye & Nai Nai soon grew tired of walking so we went back to the convention centre to get our car & drove home.

Sand Castles

2010-01-02T00:35:00.000+08:00

I'm SOooo happy today cos mummy & daddy brought me to Sentosa beach for sand play & picnic in the evening.

Mummy & daddy didn't tell me anything until we reached Sentosa & I saw them taking my sand toys out of the car boot. "Mummy, are we going to play sand today?" I asked in disbelief & shouted in excitement when mummy said yes.

I immensed myself into sand play & ignored mummy when she asked me if I'm hungry. Mummy knows that I'm too distracted so she let me be.

When the sky darkens at around 7pm, we started to pack up & leave. I'm very reluctant to leave my sand castles behind so through-out the car journey, I kept asking mummy if my castles have already been destroyed by other people. Mummy had to keep assuring me that my castles are still intact as everyone has already went home.

Mummy's Fav Pixs

2009-11-25T13:23:00.002+08:00

Hong Kong Disneyland

2009-11-15T19:01:00.004+08:00

Mummy & daddy has been talking so long abt our family trip to HK Disneyland & TODAY is finally THE DAY!

Daddy had a late night the day before so we all woke up late in the morning. While daddy was packing his luggage at the last minute, mummy had to quickly wake me up, wash & dress me & prepare for any last minutes things.

Amazingly, we managed to finish everything in 30mins & rushed to the airport. Mummy bought some snacks for our b'fast after check-in & we quickly rushed to the departure hall before the plane takes off without us.

We met up with Xian Yi & family in the aircraft, who were already sitting comfortably in their seats behind us.

This is the 1st time I'm travelling on an airplane & I'm really EXCITED. I chosed a seat next to the window & stared out intently during take-off. The view is really amazing!

Through-out the 3hrs journey, I busied myself with Cathay Pacific's goodie bag for kids (which contains lotsa stickers, colouring book, puppet etc), watching cartoon on TV & munching on biscuits. Mummy was glad that I didn't make any fuss during take-off & landing eventhough there was pressure difference & turbulence.

I made mummy & daddy laugh when I suddenly commented why they sounded like Mickey & Minnie whereas my own voice sounds like Donald Duck. Haha...

Once we landed at HK International airport, we made our way to the taxi stand for a ride to Disney Hollywood Hotel. It's a short 15mins ride & we admired the hilly views along the way. The weather was nice & breezy and everyone was in a good mood. The rooms were ready when we reached & I was really thrilled to see Mickey Mouse EVERYWHERE!

Not wanting to waste time, we quickly unpack our luggage & took a shuttle bus to Disneyland. We reached there at around 4pm & there wasn't much crowd. There wasn't any queues for the rides & theatre shows so we really did lotsa stuff before we had our dinner in the park. We had chinese cuisine for dinner & it's only so-so. Not really that fantastic.

Mid-way through our dinner, we heard 'bombing' sound & mummy quickly took me out to view the fireworks. It's both beautiful & frightening to me. I'm really scared of the loud sound but I couldn't turn my eyes away from the fireworks.

While we're on our way back to our hotel, I fell asleep in my pram & didn't wake up till the next morning.

The next day, I woke up super early at 7am & kept pestering mummy & daddy to bring me to the 'playground'. Mummy had a nice bubble bath with me & we're all famished by the time we're done. We quickly got dressed & headed downstairs to the hotel cafe for a simple b'fast of ham & cheese sandwiches, noodles & congee. The congee tasted really nice but I can't say much for the rest of the food.

Once Xiao Yi & family came down to join us for their bfast, we quickly headed to Disneyland once more. The hotel has a promotion where we can get 2-days park passes for the price of 1 & we're glad we're in time to enjoy this promotion. As we had recee the park the day before, we can plan our itinerary better today. We headed straight to the Disney Railway & took a nice ride to Fantasyland. As the crowd today was bigger as compared to yesterday, we took our own sweet time riding on all the rides & seeing all the shows, fufilling our hunger by eating lotsa popcorns which are sold in pushcarts found all over the park.

By the time we finished Fantasyland, Adventureland & Tomorrowland, it was time for lunch. The weather had turned colder today with very harsh winds & I kept complaining to mummy that my hands are cold, even though I had 3-layers of clothings on me. By the time we reached Royal Banquet, I had already dozed off in my pram. Thus mummy & daddy managed to have a nice leisurely lunch before I wake up.

I had a small accident today when I suddenly pee in my pants. Mummy didn't brought any extra clothings for me so she had no choice but to purchase new clothings & undies for me from the souvenier shop. The prices there are really outrageous! Mummy had originally wanted to buy only a bottom for me but the shop only carries tops & dresses. In the end, mummy bought a SGD$30 tennis dress & a SGD$30 pack of undies. OMG! The undies costs almost the same as the dress!

I was REALLY happy to be able to wear new clothes & mummy suspects if it was my motive all along. Ha! After lunch, we headed to our favourite rides & retook them all over again. I'm sad that I couldn't take the 2 rides that are restricted to kids of certain height but mummy assured me that we'll come here again next time when I'm older.

After catching the fireworks at night, we took the MTR to Sunny Bay & changed another train to Citygate. The MTR train has windows shaped like Mickey & the deco in the cabins are all disney-related. There's an outlet mall above the Citygate station so after finishing our Mac dinner, we did some last minute shopping. Xiao Yi & family were too tired to continue with the shopping trip so they left for hotel earlier while we ventured around the mall till I nagged at mummy & daddy to head 'home'. Again, I fell asleep in the cab on the way back till the next morning.

The next day, we didn't have anything planned so we took a leisurely long b'fast at the hotel cafe before heading outside to take some hols pixs. Afterwards, mummy brought me to this toy shop in the hotel where kids can do arts & crafts activities, play & read books for free. Daddy helped me out with my colourings in the toy shop while mummy did some last minute shopping in the hotel souvenier shop. Soon, Xiao Yi & family joined us & we while our time away before it's time to head to the airport.

The flight back home was uneventful although I kept nagging at mummy & daddy that I want to go back to 'Mickey's house' again.

Doulus

2009-09-27T11:00:00.000+08:00

Mummy heard tat the Doulus ship will be docking at Vivocity for awhile so she specially arranged a trip with Da Yi & Da Yi Zhang to check it out. Too bad Daddy had a golf game in Bintan so he can't join us. Nevertheless, he still managed to have b'fast with us before he left.

Doulos was purchased in 1977 by GBA Ships e.V. (previously known as Good Books for All), a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany.

With stops in over 500 ports of call, this unique ship has visited more than 100 countries in including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and many island nations. Doulos is recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship.

There's a bookstore onboard Doulus & we all had fun browing through the wide variety of books & checking out the old ship.

Mummy's Fav Artwork

2009-09-08T01:58:00.002+08:00

This is mummy's fav piece of artwork done by Yours Truly...

2009-09-08T01:28:00.004+08:00

It's been sometime since Mummy updated my blog. She's been really busy with work & I'm also busy adjusting to my new school life & spending most of my waking hours at Ah Mah's hse.

Now that Mummy has been confirmed for her job, she can finally relax abit and took leave to spend some quality time with me during this 1-wk break.

We went to Vivo City with Ah Mah for tim sum @ Restaurant 88 & Da Yi joined us soon after. It was a nice brunch but I don't really fancy the taste. I only ate fried carrot cake towards the end of the meal. Soon after, I doze off in my pram while mummy & all shopped around, having a gd time. I took a 1.5hr nap & woke up just in time for a visit to Toyrus. I had lotsa fun playing with playdoh @ En Qi's hse the previous day so mummy decided to buy me one today. Mummy chosed the most reasonably priced set for me & I can hardly wait to play them.

I was feeling famished by the time we paid for our purchases so we all headed to Ya Kun @ Harbourfront & mummy ordered cheesy french toasts for me. I thought it was really yummy but Da Yi don't fancy it at all. Mummy was just happy that I finished all the toasts & didn't waste any food. I ran around all over the plc, popping into Gymboree to watch other kids playing with the gym equipements & sitting in all the kiddy rides (without coin inserted, of course).

Next, we proceeded back to Restaurant 88 for dinner. Ah Gong, Da Yi Zhang & Kai Kai joined us just in time. Restaurant 88 are having a promotion where each pax can order a set dinner (incls rice, soup, veg, dessert & choice of dish) for just $7.50/$9.50. We ordered cod fish, roasted duck, braised pork & seasonal veg and the bill comes up to abt $50 for 5 pax. I'm so happy seeing Kai Kai that I insisted on sitting near him & we enjoyed chasing after each other.

Mummy asked me if I enjoyed myself today & I said 'Yes, thank you mummy. I love you.' Mummy is so touched.

My 3rd Birthday!

2009-07-13T23:38:00.001+08:00

It's my 3rd BIRTHDAY!! Yipee!

I had an earlier celebration on Saturday with at Nai Nai's hse. Xiao Gu & family were sick so they couldn't join us. Nevertheless, Xiao Gu still took the effort to bake a birthday cake for me. It was shaped as a castle & it even had a princess & her pet cat!

The next day, mummy invited her family to our house for another round of celebration. This time, mummy ordered a Dora agar agar cake for me. Everyone else thought the cake is shaped after me. Haha...do I look like Dora? I had a good time eating all the nice food that daddy cooked & playing with Aissac kor kor & Ashley Jie jie.

Monday was a school day and Mummy surprises me with a birthday cake at my school! All my classmates were distracted when mummy was busy setting up the cake & Ms Irene had to shout for us to pay attention. Check out the pixs below...

1st Cable Car Ride

2009-06-27T00:23:00.000+08:00

My first cable car ride!

I can piece PUZZLE!!

2009-06-25T23:38:00.002+08:00

It's my 1st attempt piecing puzzles together & I DID IT!

It was dinner time & Ah Mah taught me to piece the puzzles together while feeding me dinner. It was confusing at 1st but I kept practising but taking out & putting the puzzles back again & again.

Finally after 2 tries, I managed to piece the puzzles back all by myself! Mummy is so proud of me.

Monsters Vs Aliens

2009-06-22T23:20:00.001+08:00

Today happens to be mummy's & daddy's off day so they brought me to catch the movie "Monsters Vs Aliens" at Vivo City.

I was very excited as Ashely & Aisaac had kept talking to me about the movie. We had a simple lunch at Kim Gary Hong Kong Cafe then proceed to enter the theatre.

I thought the movie would be funny & entertaining but a few minutes into the movie, I was scared! The monsters & aliens scare me & I kept hiding my head onto mummy's shoulders. I urge mummy to bring me out but mummy told me the door is closed until the whole movie is over. I grew restless & suddenly saw other kids eating popcorns. I then pester mummy to buy popcorns for me but she again told me the door is close thus unable to go out & buy.

Finally after 1.5hrs, the movie ended & we headed out. Mummy & daddy didn't really like the movie as it's too lengthy & there's too much conversation.

We headed to Ya Kun Kaya Toast for tea while I enjoyed myself playing with the kiddy rides. By the time we headed home in the evening, I was fast asleep in the car & didn't wake up till 730pm.

What a day!

My Princess Castle

2009-04-29T11:13:00.004+08:00

Welcome to my "Princess" house! Actually more like a castle but in tentage form...

I'm so into 'princess' nowadays that I ONLY want to dress in all pink, with pretty tutu skirts & long flowy dresses. Otherwise if I'm forced to wear t-shirts & pants, then I'll only pick those with Disney Princess designs on the clothings.

Mummy happily indulge in my 'passion' (I guess she was deprieved of all these things when she was young) & bought me lotsa pink clothings with laces, embroideries etc. However, mummy is still clever enough to pick out good & cheap buys as after all, she says I'll soon outgrow them.

So while we were out having b'fast at Ikea Tampines today, we saw a kids tentage shape like a castle (which is all in PINK!) selling at Giant Tampines next door. The price is actually quite reasonable considering it's very big. I fell in love with it immediately.

Seeing what a well-behaved girl I've been for the past weeks, mummy decided to buy for me (using daddy's $$, of course).

I have so much fun playing in my castle & keep inviting daddy & mummy into my house. It has a door with curtain & 2 windows. I can even watch TV in my castle through the windows! I decorated my castle with pillows & let 'doraemon' sleep in it.

My 4th Genting Trip

2009-04-01T22:51:00.000+08:00

My First Time as Flower Gal

2009-03-07T21:13:00.000+08:00

My first experience being a flower gal is a DISASTER!!

I'm supposed to be walking with Ashely together, hand in hand with flower baskets in our arms down the aisle at Auntie Shanice's wedding. Unfortunately, we're both down with fever a few days before the wedding & thus were cranky & fussy on the actual day.

We reached Holiday Inn Hotel early as we're supposed to rehearse for the march-in. Unfortunately, Xiao Yi & Ashely went to the wrong hotel. By the time they arrived, it was too late for rehearsal as guests had already started streaming in.

Mummy had to brief us briefly on the aisle direction as it was not a straight aisle. Soon, the door open & I can hear clappings & dry ice filling the aisle. Both Ashley & I were stunned for a moment. Mummy quickly nughed us forward & we started walking in. But we both forgot to throw the flowers & mummy had to show me. We were about 3/4 down the aisle when Ashely suddenly threw tantrums & shouted " I don't want!" and threw the basket with all the flowers on the floor. RIGHT in front of all the guests. Seeing Ashely's reaction, I also threw down my basket on the floor & ran away. Luckily Xiao Yi was nearby & quickly picked up the baskets & continued throwing the petals.

It was really embarrassing but luckily Auntie Shanice didn't mind. Afterall, we're still young kids but it's really hard to anticipate our mood & actions.

Through-out the whole wedding dinner, I have no appetite to eat and keep resting my head on the table. When mummy came back from the wash room after the 3rd dish, I had already fallen asleep in Daddy's arms. Mummy & daddy had to finish the rest of the dinner with me lying on their arms. By the time we left, it was already 11pm. We didn't stay for the dessert as my fever started again & mummy wanted to quickly rush home to feed me my fever medicine.

Trip to Animals Resort

2009-02-21T22:13:00.000+08:00

This is our first time going to Animals Resort. Uncle RB invited us to go together after b'fast at Jalan Kayu.

Animals Resort is located in a secluded road near Jalan Kayu. We followed the road signs & parked our cars along the narrow road. I can hear dogs barking before we even reached the main gate. Seems like this is the place which provides dogs grooming too.

Besides dogs, there're also parrots, koi fishes, goat, roosters, peacock, rabbits and hamsters. For $2, we get 3 types of feed for the animals. I enjoyed myself so much feeding the rabbits & goat. I guess the rabbits are too pampered as they dun seemed too eager abt the feed. They'll rather laze around staring at us.

Soon, it's getting hotter during noon time so we headed indoors to checkout the dogs. It's a pity that all the dogs are being kept in cages. I'm not sure why they're in cages but they seemed sad. Some of them are so excited to see us that they kept barking & jumping around their cages.

Mummy tried to tease them with her fingers outside the glass cages, but silly me, I kept pushing mummy's hands away for fear of her being biten by the dogs.

I hope mummy & daddy will bring me there again soon!

Singapore Flyer Night Flight

2009-02-15T11:24:00.000+08:00

I've always been fanscinated by the 'giant ferris wheel' whenever daddy drove past KPE. My mouth always gap open in awe by just staring at the amazing technicolour flashing lights.

Finally, mummy & daddy took me to Singapore Flyer today. Actually I've been to Singapore Flyer afternoon flight before, but I was then too young & couldn't remember much. So mummy decided to bring me there again to recapture the moments & scenaric view, but this time, it'll be at night.

We had a nice dinner at the Hainanese Chicken Rice restaurant opposite Raffles Hotel, courtesy of Da Yi & Da Yi Zhang. But as it was still too early & bright after dinner ended, daddy decided to head down to Marina Sq to chill out in the air-conditioned mall while munching on yumming ice-cream. We ordered 5 different flavours of ice-cream but I only like Pistachio nut ice-cream.

We finally headed down to Singapore Flyer at 8pm. We bought the 8pm flight tickets & immediately boarded the capsules. The capsule was quite dark, save for some errie-looking blue light. This time, the view & scenary was vastly different as compared to our last visit. The city skyline looks like jewels shinning against the water reflection. We were all fanscinated. Mummy & daddy were busy taking photographs while I kept running around the capsule, climbing up & down the benches, annoying the other passangers in the process.

The flight finally ended after 30mins & we proceeded to the counter to purchase our 'superimposed' tourist-sy photo.

Outing to Sentosa

2009-02-05T23:39:00.000+08:00

Mummy is starting work next week so she decided to bring me out today for some fun. It'll probably be the 'last time' mummy is bringing me out alone & mummy really feels very guilty.

Mummy arranged to meet Auntie ylc & Caitlin at Vivocity at 330pm so she readjusted by nap time earlier in order to leave the house on time.

When we reached there, Auntie ylc & Caitlin were already shopping around. I was feeling hungry so we headed straight to Ya Kun at Harbourfront for some toasted bread & tea. While we're there, Caitlin & I were so distracted by the candy vending machine and kiddy rides that we soon forgot about being hungry. Ended up, mummy & auntie ylc are the ones munching away. Haha.

The weather today seems nice & cool so mummy & auntie ylc decided to head down to Sentosa to watch the fountains near the Merlion & visit the Butterfly Park. We took a tram from Vivo sStation to Imbiah Station.

We had fun taking photos with the flowers arrangements, waterfalls & water fountains. We were on our way to Butterfly Park when it started to drizzle. We quickly rushed back to the tram station & had a nice dinner at Harbourfront.

Bye-byes

2009-02-03T23:21:00.001+08:00

Mummy is returning to workforce soon and the intention is to send me to Ah Mah's house every morning before she goes to work.

In this case, mummy has no choice but to withdraw me out from the existing school & switch me to another school near Ah Mah's house so it'll be easier for Ah Mah in terms of travelling distance & convenience sake.

I'm sad to leave my school and apparently so are my teachers. Mummy managed to exchange some SMSes with Teacher Angie and she mentioned to bring me back for visits whenever we're free.

The next day, mummy brought me back to school for a short visit cos Teacher Angie had bought a farewell gift for me & had specifically asked mummy to bring me along to collect it. She had also brought along camera so we can have photos as keepsake.

New Year's Eve Celebration

It's New Year's Eve but both daddy & mummy has to work. Nevertheless, mummy managed to bring me to Auntie PM's hse to celebrate.

It's supposed to be a steamboat party so everyone brought food to Auntie PM's hse except Mummy cos she knocked off from work & headed straight to the party.

We all had a good time making a mess of Emerson's room while the adults stuffed themselves silly with food.

Your 2-year-old now

What can a 2-year-old remember? More and more every day! He's developing a way of thinking called spatial representation or symbolic thinking. Basically it means he can see things in his mind's eye. As experience and habit create new connections in his brain, he becomes better able to call up these captured images: what a lost teddy looks like, the way to Grandma's house, the ice cream and cake served at the party yesterday. (Kaylyn can remember the day's events & relate/report to me whatever she's been doing. It helps especially when I'm not with her 24/7.) Help your preschooler lay down these memory tracks in the brain by asking questions about things he knows: "Hmmm, what will the bunny say goodnight to next?" Ask him to recall details: "Did you have vanilla ice cream or chocolate?" At night, review your day together: "And then what did we do?"

Your little one's a budding conversationalist, even if you're the one doing most of the talking. He's beginning to ask lots of questions, a development that fills two needs for him: It's a way of finding out about things, and it's also a way of keeping the interchange with you going. That lets him engage with you longer and pick up even more words.Early favorite questions include "Why?" (YEAH! That's Kaylyn's fav word right now.) and "What's that?" (That too!) (Or simply, "Dat? Dat?") As his language skills grow more sophisticated, so will his questions: "What's making that sound?" "What if the car went off the road?" "Why don't the birds fall down?"Try to answer his questions as quickly as you can, in simple, full sentences. "Birds have wings that keep them up in the air." Being responsive encourages future questions, and your answers help him learn from your example how to put sentences together. Don't be afraid to say "I don't know." Find a book on the subject to share.Your preschooler loves to answer questions as much as ask them. When you're reading books, ask about the pictures or the story: "Where is the brown doggie?" "What do you think he likes to eat?" "What will happen next?"

My Extended Vocabulary

2008-12-29T14:28:00.003+08:00

Daddy was on leave today so mummy didn't bring me over to ah mah's hse before she heads off to work. However, mummy wanted to tease me & asked me if I wanna go to ah mah's hse & play with Aisaac kor-kor & Ashley jie-jie.

I surprised mummy when I told her " No go ah mah's hse lah...enough already...no play with kor-kor & jie-jie. Kaylyn wanna go playground & eat lunch. Mummy go eat mum-mum together? Mummy go eat lunch then go working?" Mummy was so surprised by my extended vocabulary & quickly told daddy. Daddy proudly says that's because I have his 'clever' genes. Mummy then protested & said that's because mummy taught me well.

Disney @ Changi

2008-12-27T01:01:00.000+08:00

Mummy was sick today, having sore throat, headache & bodyaches all over since last night. I guess she must have caught it when she was walking in the rain the previous day.

However, daddy still insisted on going to JB for golf & left the hse at 530am, leaving mummy all alone to care for Kaylyn. Daddy's excuses was because he had already promised his colleagues to drive them to JB so he can't cancel the game. Even though it's very obvious mummy is not feeling well & didn't catch a wink the whole of Fri night.

Poor mummy managed to doze off finally at 7am until I woke her up at 9am for milk. Thereafter she had to prepare my b'fast, cooked my lunch, played with me, showered me & make me nap before laying down to rest her aching body.

Auntie OC had told mummy there's a Disney themed Meet & Greet session at Terminal 3 today, so Mummy reckoned since she'll be alone with me for the whole day today, so she might as well make full use of it & brought me to Changi airport in the afternoon.

We reached there at around 5pm but Auntie OC smsed Mummy and said she'll be late. So mummy brought me to walk around the Departure Hall & we saw some Disney characters lanterns. I was so in a hurry to take pictures with Mickey & Minnie mouse that I quickly rushed up to the platform & pose for a picture despite blocking other people's picture-taking opportunites. Mummy dunno to laugh or be mad at me.

Thereafter, we proceeded to B2 where the Meet & Greet sessions are held. Unfortunately, there were already a long queue snaking from the stage where Mickey & Minnie mouse will pose for pictures. Free tickets for the photo taking session has been ALL given out, so we have no choice but to stand further away from the stage to catch a glimps of Mickey & Minnie mouse. I couldn't contain my eagerness & kept asking Mummy where's Mickey & Minnie. I stared intently at the stage & shouted "Mickey, where are you? I'm here leh!" I wondered why the people around me kept giving me amused smiles.

Finally at 530pm, Mickey & Minnie mouse appeared on stage to begin the photo taking session. I was so excited that I kept shouting to Mickey & Minnie, hoping to catch their attention. Mummy find it very boring to just look at Mickey & Minnie posing with other people for photo-takings, so she dragged me to the mini-playground by the water fountain. I was happily playing until Auntie OC & gillian reached.

We later procceded to have our dinner at the foodcourt. Being mischevious, I kept running out of my chair & Auntie OC had to run after me while Mummy was busy buying drinks. So sorry to Auntie OC for losing your Kopitiam card while you're preoccupied with me.

After dinner, we shopped around & Mummy bought a straw hat for me.

Xmas Celebration at Auntie Ep's hse

2008-12-25T00:55:00.000+08:00

Mummy brought me to Auntie Ep's hse for a Xmas celebration cum b'day party for Auntie Dsii. She has very kindly volunteered her place & prepared many dishes for us. While the adults were busy chatting over delicious food, we kids were busy running around, playing toys & making a mess of the place.

Mummy's B'day Celebration

2008-12-07T22:19:00.000+08:00

Mummy's b'day is due in 2 weeks so daddy specially made arrangements to give mummy a surprised b'day celebration cum mahjong session at Auntie Liling's hse.

Although it was supposed to be mummy's b'day celebration, but end up daddy is busy playing mahjong while we kids are busy running around & playing. Mummy was so bored that she decided to go to a convenience store nearby to get some magazines to pass time.

Then after cutting the b'day cake, everyone left. Daddy couldn't have dinner with us (AGAIN!) as he had to entertain a customer's family who came to town for a tour. Luckily, mummy managed to have a nice japanese dinner with Auntie Justine & family and Uncle Koh. Uncle Koh is so nice to drive us home too! Thx uncle Koh!

Daddy's Leicester Uni Class Gathering

2008-12-06T22:08:00.000+08:00

Daddy brought us to Auntie Kirsten hse for his Uni class gathering this evening. It was raining very heavily but luckily it stopped in time for us to start our BBQ session.

While all the uncles were busy helping out with the cooking, mummy was busy chatting away while I'm busy running around & playing with Elijah kor-kor.

I enjoyed feeding the fishes & turtles, seeing them fighting to snatch away the bread. But I guess the koi fishes don't really fancy the wholemeal bread as they swollow & puke it out again.

Mummy also brought me to the playground to play. I love the slides, rides, swings, see-saw & merry-go-round. The condo even have slides in the children's pool! But mummy didn't bring along my swimming costumes plus it was raining beforehand so the water is freezing cold, so I didn't have a chance to swim.

Disney Princess

2008-11-23T14:28:00.000+08:00

Daddy & mummy brought me to watch Disney Princess show at the indoor stadium today. It was an 11am show so before the show starts , Daddy brought us to have a quick bfast at the nearby MacDonalds.

By the time we are seated, the show had already started. I was so fanscinated with the stories that my eyes were glued to the stage for the entire show. The show tells the story of the 3 Disney princesses (Snow White, Cinderalle & Beauty & Beast). Although I'm not familiar with all the stories, but I still pay attention to the show. I must say the entire production is great & the stage sets are fantastic. I like how the magical lights lit-up when the fairy godmother appears.

During break-time, I saw lotsa jie-jies wearing pretty princess gowns, eating popcorns with princess packaging. I kept nagging at mummy that I want to 'eat princess', but daddy says it's too ex & there's no need to spend that kinda money. I'm so disappointed...:(

The show last about an hour and half, and we quickly left the indoor stadium to head out for lunch as our stomachs are all growling with hunger.

Visit Great Grandma

2008-11-03T15:22:00.003+08:00

Great grandma just recovered from an injury and she can finally sit up & walk. It's been a long time since we visited her anyway, so daddy decided to drove us into M'sia to visit her over the weekends.

We left the house after lunch at reached there at around 430pm. I was really tired and slept through the entire car ride. We had dinner at Auntie Mei's house and I enjoyed myself so much playing with Jie Jie and running around. So much so that I'm reluctunt to go to bed at night.

The next morning, uncle drove us to have some tim sum and we parted ways to drive to Ayer Hitam. I was really sad parting with Jie Jie and kept screaming for her in the car. Mummy had to keep comforting me and I 'bluff' myself that Jie Jie is in the car infront of us.

We rested abit in Great grandma's house then we had lunch and bidded everyone farewell. As usual, I fell asleep as soon as we're on the highway but daddy drove really fast and we reached JB in just 45mins. We then decided to do some groceries shopping at Jusco, JB. It was really crowded and the parking queue stretched all the way to the main road. Luckily we managed to find a parking lot very quickly. We spent about an hour in Jusco before we head back to Singapore.

By the time we passed customs, we're all very hungry. So daddy drove us to Thomson rd for Niang Tofu. It was really nice that I took my own sweet time eating while everyone has to wait for me.

July Mummies/Babies Gathering

2008-10-19T14:58:00.002+08:00

Another round of July babies gathering again!

This time, Auntie Eeyore rented the function room at her condo to hold the gathering. I'm so happy to be able to see my friends again. So while mummy & aunties were busy munching on food & chatting away, I was busy running around with my friends, catching & throwing balloons.

Here's some pixs to share...

MacDonald's Magic Show

2008-10-12T11:51:00.001+08:00

There's an opening party at the Hougang Festival Market MacDonald's today so mummy brought me to Hougang Point for breakfast with Uncle RB, auntie Lizhen & mei mei En Qi. We had toasted bread & pratas at Ah Mei Cafe then we shopped around the shopping complex & bought some groceries at NTUC.

Soon it's time for the magic show to start, so we quickly proceeded to the tentage outside the building. Luckily it's break time, so we managed to find good seats in the middle. The magic show was performed by Ronald MacDonald & it's very interesting, although mummy & auntie looks really bored.

When the show ends, I'm hungry again so we went to have lunch at MacDonald's. Mummy then drove Uncle & family home. However, I refused to leave their house when I saw the toys so we stayed for awhile longer & finally leave when the it's threatening to rain.

Before the magic show starts...

Lantern Festival Celebration

2008-09-07T00:07:00.000+08:00

It's my 2nd year celebrating Lantern Festival & this year, we had another around of gathering with all my baby friends.

Auntie Amanda & Uncle Liverpool were very kind to open up their condo's function room for our gathering. Some of my friends came earlier to swim but I had to go to daddy's friend's daughter's full month celebratio prior to the the gathering. So by the time I woke up from my nap & reached Auntie Amanda's house, it was already 630pm.

It was a potluck session so mummy bought lotsa jellies along. There were fried rice, fried noodles, nuggets, fishballs, otahs, pizzas, mooncakes & curry chicken. All contributed by the other mummies.

We kids had fun taking turns to ride tricycles around the function room while the adults mingled around to catch up & enjoy the good food. Soon, it was time for lantern parade. Everyone carried their lanterns & walked a big round around the swimming pool. It was really nice to see brightly lit lanterns around the darken pool. It seems like twinkle twinkle little stars shining brightly in the moonlit night. We stopped by the children's playgroup & started playing with the slides in the dark. Haha, it was SO MUCH FUN! It's the only time of the year where we're allowed to play with candles & fire, not to mention playing in the dark playground.

After the lantern parade, it's BUBBLES TIME! All the kids were fanscinated by the bubbles & we kept runnning around, chasing & trying to catch them. Our hair are all wet by the time we finished. Mummy couldn't tell if it was due to the soap or perspiration.

My First Bintan Trip

2008-09-03T22:09:00.003+08:00

Mummy's friend managed to bid for a villa at Bintan Lagoon Resort http://web.bintanlagoon.com/accommodation-villas.shtml from her company at a discounted rate, but as she was unable to go at the last minute, she had kindly offer mummy the opportunity to enjoy the facilities there & mummy had in turn, asked auntie ylc & her family along.

So on a Wednesday afternoon, we took a cab to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to catch the 2pm ferry. Auntie ylc & her family were already there having their lunch so we quickly proceeded to check in. I was originally sleeping while on the way there, but quickly woke up as soon as we reached the terminal. I was so excited roaming & running around with my friend, Caitlin that we missed our boarding time until a ferry staff had to call us in.

The ferry was already docked at the jetty & everyone was busy boarding. I didn't feel any motion sickness because mummy had bought the motion sickness band for all of us. It acts by pressing on the acupuncture point on my wrist to prevent motion sickness.

After about 50mins ferry ride, we finally reached Bintan. Next, we transferred to a shuttle bus which took us to Bintan Lagoon Resort 30mins away. After we've checked in at the reception, we had to take another mini bus to arrive at our villa.

It was BEAUTIFUL! It's a 2-storey bungalow with attached private swimming pool. It also comes with a personal buggy. I was very excited & wanted to jump into the pool immediately, but then it started to drizzle & soon rained quite heavily. Mummy on the DVDs for us to watch while auntie ylc cooked macaroni cheese for us.

After some time, the rain still didn't stop. We reckoned since the pool water is warm enough & we're going to get ourselves wet anyway, so we don't mind going swimming despite the slight drizzle. All of us had fun soaking & swimming in the pool. We only got out when the rain became heavier again. We then spent the rest of the evening watching DVDs while the adults cooked dinner. I was so tired after swimming that I fell asleep at 630pm until the next morning.

The sun was shinning brightly the next day & we quickly took the opportunity to go to the beach after a nice breakfast of chicken pie & swissrolls. We took the buggy out & drove straight to the beach. Mummy & auntie ylc even tried driving the buggy. Haha. Caitlin & I had lotsa fun playing with the sand, building sand castles & blowing bubbles. Daddy was busy sun tanning himself while mummy laze around under the shade. We sweat so much that we immediately jumped into the private pool when we reached our villa. So shiok! Daddy, mummy, auntie ylc & uncle had a game of water polo while Caitlin & I were busy cheering away. It was so much fun. We were so disappointed when the sky suddenly darkened & rained.

After shower, I immediately dozed off. Mummy & daddy happily took the opportunity to have a quiet lunch while auntie ylc & family went to tabao some food from the resort restaurant. After a 2hr nap, it's another round of swimming & then we prepared to go out for a nice dinner.

We drove our buggy to the hotel lobby & requested for a taxi to take us to Pasar Ole Ole. The cab driver recommended a seafood restaurant which he claimed provide nice & clean seafood. It was dark by the time we reached there & the whole place is rather quiet. Save for a few tourists having their dinner. We headed straight to the recommended restaurant & ordered a set meal for 4 plus 2 crabs. The dinner was really nice & the price was reasonable. Definitely cheaper than the resort food. We also enjoyed the live band which performed songs to our requests. After dinner, we slowly strolled around the nearby shops & bought some tibits & ice-creams back to our villa. Again, I fell asleep immediately until the next morn when we took the morning ferry back to Singapore.

This is my 1st visit to Bintan & my first ride on the ferry. Overall, the trip is an enjoyable one for me. I enjoyed swimming, playing with sand & watching the big ships sail pass the ferry although daddy felt abit bored because there wasn't much to do at the villa except swimming, going to the beach & lazing around.

Here's some pictures to share...

My Gift for Teacher's Day

2008-08-31T11:55:00.003+08:00

My Cozy Reading Corner

2008-08-14T10:13:00.002+08:00

Mummy has been concern about the my lack of interest in books and reading so while I was away at school, she decided to do up a reading corner in the study room.

Previously, all my books and puzzles are stored in drawers and boxes & I hardly touches them unless mummy brought them out. Now by setting up a reading corner & arranging the books nicely on the shelvings, mummy hope that I can acess them easily & cultivate the love for reading books.

My 3rd Genting Trip!

2008-07-30T21:50:00.002+08:00

We took the early morning coach so Mummy changed me into outside clothes the previous night. She woke me up at 6am in the morning calling my name repeatedly. I stirred abit but refused to wake up. Then she said 'Kaylyn, we're going kai kai.' Immediately, I sat up & shouted 'Okay, kai kai yeah!' Mummy dunno wherther to laugh or cry.

After cleaning & changing my diaper, we left the house at 615am. It's peak hour so we have trouble hailing a cab. Finally after 20mins, we managed to hail an empty cab. We reached Transtar Express Terminal at Lavendar St just before 7am. Luckily the coach leaves only at 715am so we still have time to laze around the 1st Class lounge. It was very comfy with leather seats & staff serving snacks & hot drinks while we wait for the bus to depart. We can even watch TV programmes on the flat screen TVs & read newspapers available in the lounge. The toilet in the lounge were also nice & clean. Mummy managed to feed me milk while they eat b'fast & drank hot tea in the lounge.

Soon after, the staff came to tag our luggage & pram to be stored in the luggage compartment in the bus. We then proceeded to board the bus while waiting for the other passangers to board too. It didn't take very long as the bus can only accomodate 18 pax. I was very excited & busy exploring the massage chair & checking out the games & movies available.

We passed Singapore & Malaysia customs without much trouble & the cabin crew started serving food once we passed Malaysia custom. B'fast consists of soon kuehs, curry puff, swiss rolls, spring roll, cakes & tea/coffee. It was delicious & the portion was big. Daddy shared his b'fast with me while Mummy was busy watching movie. Soon after, I fell asleep in mummy's arms & didn't wake up until we reached Genting Highlands 4hrs later. I woke up fully refreshed and immediately wanted to go on all the indoor amusement rides.

We checked into Resort Hotel & bought full day pass for the indoor amusement park.

This is my 3rd time going to Genting Highlands, Malaysia. I was only 13mths old when I first went to Genting but I couldn't really remember what happened during my previous trips. This time, I'm fully aware & really enjoy myself on all the rides. It's non-peak period so we didn't have to queue up for anything. We went on all the rides repeatedly until we had enough.

We were tired by the end of the day & daddy went off to the casino while mummy slept with me. The next morning after having b'fast, we went to watch 'Travel to the Center of the Earth' at the cinema. It was a great & entertaining show..best thing is, it's FREE! I was totally glued to the story & even screamed in horror as the heros encountered numerous monsters in the movie. Mummy had to cuddle & keep assuring me everything is fine.

After dinner, we went to catch Dreamz.http://www.genting.com.my/en/live_ent/2008/dreamz/default.htm. It's a magic show cum acrobatic acts cum dancing cum motorbike acrobactics cum wild animals appearances. I watched the whole show with my mouth wide open. The show lasted for 1.5hrs & ended at 1030pm. By then, I was too tired & soon fell asleep after reaching our hotel room.

The next day, we took the coach back to Singapore & this time it's faster as we reached Singapore in 5hrs time.

A Day @ Sentosa Beach

2008-07-11T14:11:00.000+08:00

Mummy brought me to Sentosa beach for sand play today. We met Auntie ylc & jie jie Caitlin at Vivocity before heading to Giant to buy some snacks & a picnic mat.

We took the Sentosa tram @ level 4 of Vivocity & got off at the last station. It was bright & sunny when we reached there. We selected a spot under a couple of coconut trees & started to lay our picnic mat & sand toys.

I enjoyed playing with sand while mummy & auntie were busy munching & chitchatting away. Auntie ylc taught me how to bury her feet under the sand & I taught jie jie Caitlin to follow me, but it seems she's still abit afraid of sand.

We were there for awhile until mummy saw dark clouds approaching the beach from the sea. We quickly packed things up & headed to the station. Luckily it only started to rain after we reached the station. Phew!

Puzzles!

2008-07-08T23:27:00.007+08:00

I LOVE PUZZLES & I really got them for my birthday presents!

Da Yi gave me a set of puzzles which comes in a set of 3. There are puzzles abt colours, shapes & numbers. I can match most of the puzzles for colours & shapes without much help from mummy but I dun really know much about the numbers.

CG aunties also gave me puzzles + a top for my birthday. I'm supposed to match different shapes, colour & size of the puzzles to the pictures. I really love playing with it & keep insisting mummy to play with me. I was so excited that I kept yelling hurray & jumping up with joy (literary!!). I can complete most of the pictures by myself & mummy is so proud of me.

Thank you everyone for your nice gifts! I really like them ALOT!!

My 2nd Birthday!

2008-07-05T21:52:00.000+08:00

Mummy invited her families to our house today to celebrate my 2nd birthday. My actual birthday is supposed to be next weekend, but daddy has some other commitments on that day, so they bring forward the celebration to today.

Daddy cooked curry chicken, fried bee hoon, mixed fruit punch while mummy made salad for the dinner. Mummy also rented a play center specially for my birthday. It consists of a swing, a slide, a basketball net & soccer net. I had so much fun playing with Aisaac & Ashley at the activity center that we kept running around screaming.

Had a July babies birthday bash this year at My Gym at Great World City. There was a total of 25 babies participating in this year party plus another 5 older siblings. It was wonderful & great fun! I enjoyed myself alot. We even had a customised tshirt so that everyone looks the same.

Check out our photos during the birthday bash!

Xavier's 2nd Birthday Party at ExplorerKids

2008-06-15T13:14:00.000+08:00

Auntie Michelle invited us to Zavier's 2nd birthday party today. It's held at the Explorerkid @ Pasir Ris Downtown East.

As usual, we're late cos I was still napping. Mummy had forgotten to bring socks so we had to queue up to purchase them at $2 each.

The party was held in a function room within the ExplorerKid. There were some snacks for the kids & a huge birthday cake & Thomas the Train agar agar. It was all very delicious.

We also get to ride on the mini ferris wheel for free too! After that party, we took our time to explore the ExplorerKid area. There's a playarea for kids 3yrs & below. Some cushion/foam gym instruments & a small ball pit. I liked playing in the ball pit & jumping down from high up (similar to jumping into the swimming pool). Mummy felt it's too dangerous & kept restricting from climbing up the ledge of the pit.

By the time we left for home, I was so so tired that I fell asleep immediately in the car.

Kongfu Panda

2008-06-11T23:30:00.000+08:00

Mummy brought me to another movie today. It's called Kongfu Panda. We met auntie ylc & Caitlin at AMK Hub for the 1145am show, but it's hard to catch a cab during the morning so we bought tickets for the 1245pm show instead.

We reached AMK Hub at 12noon so we still have enough time for an early lunch at the nearby foodcourt. After lunch, we then proceeded to the Cathay theatre & queued up for popcorns & drinks. The usher forbidded us to bring our prams into the theatre but mummy persuaded him by promising to fold the pram up & kept in a corner so it'll not inconvenience others.

I was so engrossed through-out the whole show due to the fast pace, action packed movie. I love the kongfu stunts & funny dialogues. I was busy staring hard at the screen & eating popcorns at the same time so mummy had a good time relaxing in her seat. Towards the end of the show, I almost buried my whole face into the popcorns cos it's simply too delicious. Can I have more next time, mummy?

Mama & Baby Animals Puzzles

2008-06-06T13:28:00.003+08:00

Mummy has been practising these puzzles with me for a week & today, I surprised her by completing most of the puzzles by myself. Mummy is so proud of me.

Lunch with CG Aunties

2008-06-03T13:29:00.001+08:00

As usual, mummy brought me to have lunch with the CG Aunties. We decided to have lunch at thise Japanese restaurant at the basement of Centerpoint. Their bento sets are quite cheap..about $10 each while their ramen costs only about $8. However, the drinks are ex! 1 bottle of Yacult costs $2 (can buy 1 pack from supermart) & a glass of soft drinks costs $7.50, nearly as much as their set lunch.

After lunch, mummy took a cab to Phantom Models as auntie Ethel had referred me for an ad casting. Unfortunately, I fell asleep in the cab & mummy had to carry me up the stairs to the office. The lady was worried that I'll be cranky when I wake up so she asked mummy to wake me up & let me warm up first before we proceed to the studio for some photoshoots.

The minute I woke up, I started playing with the toys around the office. I have no problems warming up to the 'strange' place & strangers too...soon, it's time for the photoshoots & mummy used the toys to distract me & prompt me into making some facial expressions. It was quite fun actually! It all end in 15mins & we soon left. Unfortunately, it started raining & mummy had forgotten to bring umbrella. She had to push me in the rain as all the 'selfish' shop owners in Chinatown had pushed their trolleys & goods into the shelter, thereby blocking the whole passageway. Some shopowners even stared at us when mummy tried to push the pram through the narrow spacing along the passageway for fear that we'll damage their goods unintentionally.

What A Day!

2008-05-31T23:27:00.003+08:00

Mummy & daddy brought me to Pasir Ris park for another bicycle ride today. The sky was dark & gloomy when we woke up in the morning but we still got prepared & drove to Pasir Ris park cos daddy & mummy had already arranged a playdate with En Qi & her parents.

It wasn't so bad when we reached Pasir Ris. The sky has cleared & we can even see alittle sun peaking out from behind the clouds. There's a newly open cafe just behind the bicycle rental shop, so we decided to have b'fast first. Daddy ordered some char siew buns & dough sticks for all of us. The dough sticks were soggy & the buns had ants. Luckily the owner is willing to exchange them with kaya toasts.

We ride for abt 45mins then we proceeded to the beach for some sand play. Auntie Lizhen had brought along sand toys & mat today. I had so much fun! Daddy took me for a stroll along the shallow water & I kept dragging him further in...all b'cos I wanna go swimming. Haha. When r u bringing me for a swim again, daddy?

En Qi wanna play at the playground so we all proceeded there soon after. I had a great time playing on the swing, esp when daddy pushed me really high up in the air.

Suddenly it started to drizzle & we all quickly cycled back to the rental shop to return the bikes. We were all famished so mummy suggested to go to Downtown East for lunch. There's a new building erected next to Downtown East & there're lotsa eateries & restaurants there. We headed straight to famous Mr Chicken Rice who's chef cum owner was the ex-chef of Chatterbox, Mandarin Hotel. Daddy didn't find the chicken rice exceptionally different though...

After lunch, we happened to walk past the mini ferris wheel & mummy suggested bringing me for a ride. Child above 75cm requires a ticket so we bought the family package for 3 pax which is $15.50. I enjoyed myself tremendously & kept waving & saying hello to passerbys.

By then it was already 3pm & time to go home. I was so tired that I dozed off just 5mins into the car ride. I didn't even wake up when mummy wiped me clean & put me down to bed. WHAT A DAY!!

Bicycle Riding at Pasir Ris Park

2008-05-25T14:54:00.000+08:00

We enjoyed ourselves during the trip to Pasir Ris Park last weekend so we've decided to go riding again this week. Hmm..hopefully it'll become our weekly routine. Good way to spend quality family time & squeeze in some exercise during a hectic week.

Break Time...R&R

Official Start of Toilet Training

2008-05-22T21:32:00.000+08:00

Mummy started my official toilet training today. Initially, she only let me sit on the toilet seat before shower everyday. I dun really know wat's going on so I just sit there & do nothing. Mummy then make use of the opportunity to brush my teeth, clean my eyes & wipe my face while I'm seated.

Then as days passes, I'll pee occasionally in the toilet bowl & mummy will reward me with praise. I'll be so proud of my achievement tat I'll keep clapping my hands. In the meantime, mummy also let me observe her using the toilet & also allow me to explore & see wat happens when I flush the toilet bowl. Haha..I know it sounds gross.

Then recently, mummy find tat I can pee everytime when I'm seated at the toilet bowl. So she felt it's time to officially start my toilet training. So starting from today, mummy brought me to the toilet at every 45mins interval & I really pee everytime. My diaper is relatively dry in between the toilet trips. I only had 1 accident today where I pooed halfway in my diaper before telling mummy I need to go. Mummy quickly rushed me to the toilet but it's too late. Anyway, I'm using pull up pants now, cos mummy is afraid of accidents like pee/poo on sofa. But when I nap or sleep at night, I'm still using NTUC diapers..cos it's cheaper.

What an Eventful Day!

2008-05-21T13:53:00.000+08:00

Daddy went reservist today & came back home early. Mummy & daddy then waited till I wake up from my afternoon nap & brought me swimming at the swimming complex near our house.

I enjoyed myself so much! Kept splashing around the pool & looking at all the jie jies & kor kors learning to swim. Unfortunately I'm too young, otherwise I also wanna join in.

After the swim, daddy suddenly remembered that ye ye & nai nai are coming back to Singapore today from their Taiwan trip. So he decided to bring us there for dinner & also to fetch them home at the same time.

We had dinner at Ajisen Ramen at T1 & I really enjoy the char siew ramen & taco pachi. Then we proceeded to the viewing gallery to watch airplanes land. I had a great time running around the big open space & crawling up & down the chairs. Mummy & daddy were both too tired to chase after me so they sat down at the side, watching me from a distance & surfing net on the HP at the same time.

We spent about 1hr plus at the viewing gallery before ye ye & nai nai's plane touched down. We then proceeded to the arrival hall to wait for them. We waited & waited but we still didn't see them. I was getting very restless so daddy propped me on his shoulders & walked around the arrival hall. I like being so high up above looking down at other people's head. Haha.

Finally about 30mins later, we saw ye ye & nai nai walking down to the luggage belt waiting to retrieve their belongings. They didn't know we're coming to fetch them so they were very surprised when they saw us.

During the car ride home, I was busy playing with a plastic hook & daddy mischieviously asked me if I could let him play too. I said no but daddy kept insisting. I was very fedup & shouted "No..no...I say NO!" Both daddy & mummy were so shocked! They didn't realised I had learnt to form complete sentences already. Mummy didn't know how to react cos although she was pleased that I had managed to speak in complete sentences, but she also didn't want me to be so rude towards daddy.

Bicycle Riding in Pasir Ris Park

2008-05-17T22:51:00.000+08:00

It's a sunny day so Daddy brought us to Pasir Ris Park to cycle. Mummy had originally wanted to laze around on the beach while daddy ride with me on the bike. However, daddy prefered mummy to join in so it'll be more fun.

The bike rental is quite cheap. Only $8 for 2hours (knowing well that we'll never be able to cycle for 2 full hours..haha) so we choose a twin bike with a child seat attached behind. I was so excited through out the ride that I kept screaming & pointing to the view around me.

After 30mins, we've reached the other end of Pasir Ris park so we decided to turn back & have a rest along the way. Mummy fed me pork floss bread & water while daddy laze around on the bench. I was so eager to continue the ride that I refused to finish my bread. Kept pushing mummy towards the bike, shouting "Go..go..cycle bike..".

This time, mummy made sure I rest my feet on the child seat leg rest so I won't keep kicking on mummy's legs in front & also make me put my hands on the hand rest in front of me. I'm very guai though cos through out the return trip, my hands & feets stayed there permanently. Mummy is very proud of me.

We were all exhausted & hungry after the ride so daddy suggested having a quick lunch at Elias Mall MacDonalds. Mummy is on diet so she only had a fillet burger. I managed to finish 1 box of 6pcs chicken nuggets & surprisingly, I refused daddy's offer of french fries. :P

As soon as we reached home, I nap until Da Yi & Xiao Yi came to our house for Mahjong game. After napping for about 3hours, I'm fully recharged & had so much fun running around, playing & fighting with Aisaac kor-kor & Ashley jie-jie.

Latest Achievement

2008-05-12T21:07:00.002+08:00

Mummy brought me to Ah Mah's house today after my afternoon nap. I was eager to play with my cousins but too bad, they were still having their nap when I reached.

In order to distract me from waking them up, Ah Mah brought out wooden puzzles for me to play. The wooden puzzles have shapes of different modes of transportation & I'm supposed to match them according to their shape.

I managed to complete all on my own in about 15mins. Mummy was very surprised because she didn't know I can complete puzzles by myself. She is so proud of me because this is the 1st time mummy has seen me working on puzzles.

Mummy reckon it might be due to the constant exposure towards wooden puzzles during Busy Buddies class. There is a 15mins free play during every class and there're always a few wooden puzzles lying around on the floor, even though I always choose to ride on the rocking horse instead. Haha.

Happy Mother's Day!

Changi Airport T3 with Ee Ee Xernieve & Jingling

2008-04-04T12:37:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since we met up with Ee Ee Xernieve & Jingling, so mummy arranged to have a mini gathering this afternoon.

Ee Ee Jingling picked us up below & block & suggested going to Changi Airport T3 since there's not much crowd there & we can chat longer. Mummy thinks that's a great idea cos I can take this opportunity to look at airplanes AGAIN! In fact, this is the 2nd time this week I went to the airport to watch airplanes. Haha.

There was a minor accident. While mummy was trying to transfer me from my stroller to the car, she accidentally bump my forehead onto the side of the car door. Mummy hadn't realised the door was open & also cos it was drizzling, she was in a hurry to shield me from the rain. The impact was quite big as I began crying hysterically & a small bump soon formed just above my right eyebrow.

Mummy was so guilty that she kept apologising to me & trying to rub the bump away. Luckily, the injury wasn't very bad & I soon stopped crying, most interested in sucking my fingers to soothe myself. There was still a mini bruise though, & there's nothing much Mummy can go for now since we're in the car on the way to airport.

However once we reached Changi airport, I'm so excited that I immediately forgot about the pain. I LOVE the big open space & kept running around. Luckily there wasn't much people at this time of the afternoon so mummy didn't even bother to chase after me. She just kept an eye on me, in case I disappeared.

We decided to have tea a dessert joint & Ee Ee Xernieve decided to give us a treat. THANKS! I enjoyed myself by munching on the garlic bread, crawling around on the sofa seat & trying to dig through the paperbag which belongs to another patron sitting behind us. Mummy was so embarressed! Luckily the patron didn't mind cos the paperbag is empty.

Anyway, we stayed there for quite sometime while mummy catch up with each other & talking about their plans for the future. I was getting quite restless, so they didn't to stroll around Terminal 3 & walk to the viewing gallery to see planes touching down.

T3 is the only terminal that can clearly see planes touching down & taking off cos it's directly facing the runway. I was so excited that I kept screaming airplanes & insist mummy to carry me up to the metal railing bar to sit.

Soon, it was time for dinner & we went to Popeyes at B2. Ee Ee Xernieve had never eaten at Popeyes before so she was keen to try it out. The Verdict? Yummy! Just like the original chicken from A&W which had disappeared from S'pore years ago. I kept eating the fries & rejected any other food. Mummy reckon having just fries for my dinner once a while is still acceptable, so she didn't push me.

By the time we left Terminal 3, it was already past 8pm. I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately after milk & shower.

Some pixs to share...

I can finally jump! After weeks on jumping on the trampoline at Busy Buddies class, I've managed to jump really well. I like jumping high up, esp when there's music.

Today, I also managed to finish a bowl of pasta all by myself! Mummy bought a set of self feeding spoon & fork for me, and it really make the job easier. Although mummy was fully prepared to clean up a huge mess after my meal, I didn't spill much at all...well, only a few grains of pasta. Haha..That's already a huge achievement, isn't it mummy?

Mummy is so so proud of me!

Dinner @ Changi Industrial Estate

2008-03-20T21:45:00.001+08:00

It's Good Friday today, so Mummy & Daddy brought me to the Baby Fair at Expo. It was very crowded as City Harvest Church is having Good Friday celebrations at Expo too...We couldn't find a parking lot as the carpark is full...there're even cars lining along the roadside all the way to Changi Industrial Park.

Daddy then dropped us off at Expo while he went searching for a parking lot. While there, we saw Auntie Geri with Baby Garrick on their way home & also Mummy's ex-classmate, Auntie Janna at the Mediacorp booth. Seemed like she's been working for Mediacorp for some time already. We had a short chat & we're off to catch any bargains in the Baby Fair.

However, there's nothing much this year. Most of the items are meant for newborn or 1st time mummies. Thus after walking around for 10mins, we've concluded that we're done with the visit.

We're supposed to meet Da Yi & Da Yi Zhang at the Baby Fair too, but they also had probs finding a carpark lot. Da Yi Zhang then decided to head for dinner at a fish head steamboat eatery at Changi Industrial Park instead. Daddy finally manged to find a carpark lot & meet us along the side of the road so that Da Yi Zhang can pick us up.

The fish head soup is DELICIOUS! I can't have enough of it. Even though I created a huge mess by insisting to self feed myself, Mummy wasn't angry at all. She feels that it's time for me to learn how to self feed.

After dinner, Daddy drop me off at Ah Mah's house to spend the night while he & mummy went pak tor. I must have been too tired & fell asleep in the car on the way.

Comments from Mummy: Something interesting happened today. I brought Kaylyn to the library & was reading her a book about engines. She loves the cars, buses & airplanes pictures in the book & she recognises the difference and able to point them out. When we flipped to a page where a boy was eating crackers from a bowl, Kay pretended to pick out the food from the picture & put it inside her mouth. She said 'eat' & also offered to feed me.

Last Day of Busy Buddies Term 1

2008-03-13T21:14:00.002+08:00

Today is the last day of Term 1 & the teachers held a costume party to celebrate. Boy! It was so crowded! There were more than 10 kids even though on normal days, there are only about 4 kids in my class. I guess the more the merrier, so the teachers asked all the students to come on a specific day & timing.

Mummy dressed me up as a princess, complete with a tiara. Caitlyn has the best costume. She came in a beetlebug suit, complete with feelers.

There were limbo rock dance (the kids resorted to crawling under the pole, haha..), little chicken dance, snacks contributed by all the other mummies, ball play and even a bouncy castle.

I really enjoyed myself SO MUCH!

Fun at Busy Buddies

Here's what I did in Busy Buddies class this week...This week's theme is the Letter C. So we played with crocrodile puppet/cars/cow/cat/cotton wool/cup etc. Teacher drew cat faces on all our faces & we made cookie art with nutella chocolate, gummy bears sweets, M&Ms, raisins, cereals & chocolate toppings.

Our cat faces...with Teacher Ant

I LOVE sleeping in the toy bed with my doll.

Hmm..getting abit squeezy in here.

Thank you

2008-03-06T13:45:00.002+08:00

After Busy Buddies class today, Mummy & Auntie Yuen brought me & Caitlyn to Toyrus Vivocity. Caitlyn had earlier indicated she wanna sit in my pram. Auntie Yuen is so surprised cos this is the 1st time Caitlyn wanted to sit in the pram on her own. Mummy then suggested going to Toyrus as she bought my pram from there.

We walked to Clarke Quay MRT station & took NEL train to Harbourfront. Caitlyn didn't fuss at all until we reached Toyrus when she started getting distracted by all the toys. Unfortunately, my pram is out of stock so we had to abandon the idea of getting a new stroller for Caitlyn.

We then proceeded to Kim Gary Hong Kong Cafe for dinner. Something interesting happened while we were there. The waitress was taking our orders & mummy said thanked her for the service. Before the waitress could turn & walk away, I quickly shouted 'xie xie' to her. Everyone was caught off guard & stunned for a second. The waitress then smiled at me & said welcome. Mummy is extremely pleased with me because this is the 1st time I said thank you without prompting from anyone. Mummy feels that her insistence in teaching me say please/thank you/sorry had finally paid off.

PTT Gathering at Auntie Serena's House

2008-02-25T13:13:00.004+08:00

Mummy brought me to Auntie Serena's house for a playgroup today. We took bus 88 from Hougang Ave 8 all the way to Pasir Ris. During the bus journey, I kept staring at an auntie seating behind me. So when mummy shifted our seat to the back of the bus beside the auntie, she leaned over & asked me why I was starring at her.

Of course, I didn't say anything...just smile blankly back at her. Auntie commented to mummy that I'm very sociable & not afraid of strangers. Unlike her neighbour's boy. Mummy just keep quiet & smile.

Finally, we reached our stop & slowly stroll our way to Auntie Serena's house. Mummy had forgotten which floor the unit is so she called Auntie Serena's HP. However, nobody pick up the call so Mummy tried her luck by going to level 5, 7, 9. End up, it's actually at level 6.

Emerson was not around as he was in childcare today. So I only played with Ian & Garrick. There were alot of toy cars around the house & mummy 'drove' me around in one. Ian saw us & wanted to squeeze into the ride with us. The ride can only be operated by turning the steering wheel left to right & after awhile, mummy is exausted. Ian offered to 'drive' us this time. All of us are so amazed with his arm strength!

Here's a pix of us in the ride.

Singapore Airshow 2008

2008-02-24T22:27:00.000+08:00

Today is the 2nd Day of Singapore Airshow 2008. I woke up at 8am and Mummy quickly proceeded to prepare for us to leave the house. However, Daddy was dilly dallying with his laptop, surfing online..so we only managed to leave the house after 930pm. But first, we made a stop at the petrol kiosk & load up on food (chicken pie/donut/sausage pie), mineral water & tibits before heading to Pasir Ris Bus Interchange for the free shuttle bus service to Changi Airshow exhibition site.

We decided to drive to a nearby HDB multi storey carpark to park our car & walk over. However, they were signs on the road indicating that the multi storey carparks near the interchange are all reserved for residents. But heck! It's a Sunday! How would anyone know if the parked cars belong to residents/visitors/airshow visitors?? Stupid right? Anyway, we still went ahead & parked our car in the multi storeay carpark lot.

When we reached Pasir Ris Bus interchange, the queue to the shuttle buses is already formed. It was so long that it snaked around the MRT station twice, then zigzag across the open field next to the MRT station more than 10 times before we can board the bus. The field has a lot of rough patches & stones so daddy & mummy have problems manouving the stroller.

Heck...why can't the organsier lay planks on the ground? Dun think it'll be very expensive to lay planks lor. I can also see the rest of the people with children & prams struggling to push through the rough terrain & withstanding the hot sun. The only consolation is that it's not raining. Haha..shudder to think of queuing under the rain, threading around muddy soil. By the time it's our turn to board the shuttle bus, it's already 11am.

Luckily I didn't fuss at all, not even under the hot sun. I was very cooperative & Mummy kept feeding me snacks/food & drinks to keep me occupied.

The organisers scheduled extra long Trans Island bus to ferry visitors to & fro between Pasir Ris and the Airshow site at 10mins interval. But still, it was very crowded & people had to stand up holding onto railings. Luckily Mummy managed to find a seat with me sitting on her lap.

There was major traffic jam along changi road so it took more than an hour to reach the destination when it normally takes about 15mins to reach. I slowly dozed off in Mummy's lap while listening to people around me chatting away on the bus.

When we were approaching the exhibition site, we encountered another jam on the road due to the towing of Airbus A380. While waiting, we saw lotsa people cycling/walking in from the main road under the scorching hot sun. Really pity them...

We reached the site at 12noon & headed straight for the aerial display area. The aerial display is going to start in 15mins. Everyone started running & dashes past the registration booth. Strangely enough, nobody checked for tickets at the entrance. Mummy was holding onto a piece of folded paper & they just waved us through. Hmm...seems like the organisers were not well prepared for the huge crowd. Everything was so messy.

Luckily we're just in time for the aerial display. SAF Black Knights didn't disappoint us. However it's too loud & I'm frightened by it. But I still wanna see what's going on...so I half screamed, half gawked at the aerial displays. The show also included other planes from SAAF & Airbus A380. The entire aerial display lasted for 1hr+ and by the time we leave the site, we're all sun burnt. Mummy had forgotten to bring umbrella & apply sunblock on me to shield the sun. My knees are all red from the burnt and she felt so guilty.

Next, we proceeded to the indoor exhibition area..but it's more for the trade partners, so we didn't linger around much. We wanted to catch a cab back to Pasir Ris but the queue was so long...so we decided to walk along the road & managed to hail a cab heading towards the exhibition site, by asking the cabby to u-turn back.

While on the way home in Daddy's car, I dozed off until I reached home & continue napping for 2hrs. It's a really tiring but eventful day!

Some pixs to share.
