My Princess Castle

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 First Time as Flower Gal

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

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

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

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

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.
