My Fa Gao

My fa Gao looks so nice. Haha. It's so easy to make too.

My 2 adorable kids

Adwin is able to sit upstraight now, and hope he's enjoying more solid too. He's only eating plain white rice cereal.

Ashley is also learning to choose the clothes she wanna wear now. She can change up to 10 tops and bottoms a day. Lucky we are washing all their clothings with the washing machine.

My 1st try on Cupcakes!

 

 

This is my first try on making cupcakes myself... being a newbie in cake making, I think my first attempt was really good! hahaha....

I bought the muffin mix from BIY & tried making orange cupcake using only half the mixture... Just don't wanna waste the whole pack of mix!! It turn out OK, but like what my sis told me, maybe I had beat the mixture too long... somehow it's not moist enough... And, the buttercream is abit too 'sandy' to the taste... Guess I had put in too much icing sugar! hahaha...

But the make over on the cupcakes was quite interesting... Had been worrying about controlling the buttercream with the design tips... but lucky everything feels ok...

Wondering why did I suddenly go into cupcakes??? Cos Ashley's birthday falls on 1st July! We thought to have a celebration in her childcare... SO, I decided to try making birthday cupcakes for my Ashley's friends!! so adventurous! hahaha...

And if you noticed, my wordings for "Happy Father's Day" is missing the "'s" on the "Father" due to limited space! hahaha... But considering this is my first attempt, it's a BIG success!! *wink*

No more pacifier for Ashley

Yesterday marks the end of 2 weeks in which Ashley no longer had her pacifier!! It's such a tough task to stop her from sucking onto her pacifier since birth till 2 weeks back, that's consider 2years & 10-1/2months!!

Of course, she'll still ask for her 'zui zui' occasionally, trying her luck to see if anyone would pass it to her!! hahaha... but it's good now that all her photos taken are without the pacifier in her mouth!!

How did I manage to stop her from sucking her pacifier??... I also find it amazing, but was quite insistent this time on not giving in to her anymore... I had told her tons of lies and funny stories on how her pacifier went missing, even how big that 'ga-ga' (insect) was and now I no longer able to get it back for her!! And we tried not to go to the Baby department of any departmental stores or supermarkets, just in case she saw them & ask us to buy for her, it'll be another 'hu-ha' from her, as she'll be screaming and crying for us to buy it for her!!

And I guess it's also the missing pacifier outside of her childcare, that bringing her to childcare now is consider a 'breeze' for us... As previously she would be able to have her pacifier @ home, so she's quite reluctant to go to the childcare, but no difference now (she get no pacifier in the childcare & @ home).

Back to our bubble blowing times...

This afternoon Desmond (our neighbour) had given us a few of those bubble blowing thing we used to play when we were young... dunno if anyone can remember... hahaha...

But Ashley had never seen such thing before... she was pretty used to those bubbles being blown out with those soapy water though... And, when daddy blown a few for her to try, she thought it was those soapy bubble which will burst when her hand touches them!! And in the end, the blown bubble burst cos she were too hard on them! hahaha...


But if you see this photo, she had carefully put her last bubble on her hand trying to transport it back home! hahaha....
