The Observatory @ the Science Center

WL found out about the observatory which opens up on every Friday from 7:30pm to 10pm! And as usual, he planned for a trip here and try to make it sound fun!!! :p

Anyway, during my younger times, I did had an interest in Stargazing but not after I got married and started a family... WL started getting really interested these few weeks due to a free course he had signed up for!!

But the kids definitely had fun!!!

Alvan's wearing his first pair of shoes

First time baby putting shoes and hoping to get him used to it before he can walk!! He was feeling abit awkward initially and tried to walk a few steps in it...

Baby Alvan enjoying his red plum!

WL fed bb Alvan with red plum 2 weeks back and surprisingly he enjoyed it very much!!! But WL had a tough time feeding him cos he kept trying to use his 2 upper and 2 lower teeth to 'scrap' the plum... (Didn't realized I had taken some pictures of him 'scrapping' the plums!)

So, his clever mummy cut the plums into smaller pieces and stuffed into the self feeding thingy for him to enjoy! See he's enjoying so much of the fruit!! And I had to refilled 3 times for him!! The moment I took the feeder away, he would scream and cry as though I had snatched his food away!!!

Adwin's and Alvan's birthday party! (Part 2)

Only got time to finish my part 2 of my boys' birthday party post now... Haha... And I really forgot what I need to say... Just try to recall and post based on the photos here...

Baby enjoyed standing in the kiddy rides! He was so happy when I put him into it! There wer a few rides near the entrance for kids to have fun with if they do not like the the slides... But they were not free!! Haha... Smart way of earning more monies from parents!

We ordered their in-house caterer, Jin Zhen Chinese restaurant at level 3, and the food were good, but sad to say the serving was not really big, and we had to ordered more fried rice towards the end when my SIL's family and her in-laws arrived.

WL decided to engage a magician for the boys, and I was looking forward to the balloon scrulturing. The boys were not really engaged to the magician, towards the middle, all the audience went into the play area and m BIL had to get the kids out!! Even the balloon scrulturing was not really fully utilized! But one of his friend, jaxton, asked for an octopus and it was my first time seeing one, so interesting!!

Here's a of photo of his classmates who attended his party... (Darrion is missing from this shot)

 

We only had a chance to take some family photos, I feel the magician had rushed through the cake cutting session, and no chance for us to get all the kids and extended family for some photos before blowing off the candles and cutting the cakes! And I had baked a smashed cake my baby, but he was really terrified when he's near the candle!! And I had also forgotten to let him put on the '1st birthday' hat till he had finished the cake! Haha...

These were all Adwin's birthday presents received on the party! And he was really happy to have received so many of them and whenever he opened up a present, he would take some time to play with them before opening up the next present!

This Mickey Mouse tricycle is baby's birthday present from his uncle (姨丈)! He was only interested in the wheels, handles and seat, not much interest in sitting into it being pushed by us! Haha....

Baby busy opening up his present too!! Haha...

This is singing elmo from uncle (舅舅) and he was initially amazed as to why was Elmo singing to him! But after awhile its no longer interesting and he started snatching Elmo's mic! Haha... Dunno if he thought Elmo would not sing he don't have the mic!? Haha...

This is WL present for birthday baby, he had named it, Polly thr Polar Bear!! And whenever he asked baby where is Polly? Baby would turn around and look for him! Haha...

Art science museum - The Art of Brick

During our 3rd time stay at the MBS, the exhibition 'The Art of Brick' had just started at the Art Science Museum, opposite MBS hotel. And this is one of the 'Must visit exhibition' going on, so WL thought the kids would enjoy since its Lego bricks to them!!

It's a really interesting exhibition, considering the 'builder' uses millions and millions of those small bricks to build his art pieces!!! It's really not easy and requires lots of patience and time to finish a piece!!

In fact, they did provide a small booth that allows the visitors to build 'water drops', allowing us to experience the difficulty in putting those small bricks into an art piece we see there!!! And really, it's not easy!!!!

They had also incorporated 2 booths which allows visitors to take photos and covert into images which looks like it was assembled using bricks!! And the kids had fun!!!

This is like a preview to our next outing, legoland in Malaysia! Cos at the end of the exhibition, they have a few tables which allows visitors, rather children, to sit down and have fun with Lego bricks!!! And of cos, my 2 kids were busy having fun!! Haha...

My baby... Weird sleeping posture

Haha... Spotted my baby funny sleeping posture one day when he went to bed at 7pm!! He was trying hard to squeeze into a corner in his cot, so much so that his bump is high up in the air!!!

Adwin's and Alvan's birthday party!

I had been sourcing for a good location since Adwin request for a birthday party to invite his classmates over. And after much sourcing, WL finally agree to book the Children's Playroom at Yio Chu Kang grassroots club!! Am so happy and had been planning, hopefully, for a 'perfect' birthday for my 2 boys!

But, was really disappointed when only 4 of his classmates decided to attend!

This sign is appearing on a few locations guiding our guests to our party!!

This goodie 'box' table is something am really proud of! Really glad I bought the table runner, with the goodie 'box'es on top makes it look sooooo wonderful!! I forgot to the the picture of the contents, but the 2 items which am happy with are the personalized pencils from OTC and the Kit-Kat wrappers!! Reason being, I design, print, cut and wrap all of them!! :D

For the first time, Adwin is celebrating his birthday with Alvan. And we decided to order each a cake and not share, reason being, they are 2 separate individuals! And we really do not want the boys to feel that they are sharing each others birthday!! For Adwin, he had specially requested for the Avengers theme and of cos, the cake would has to be the most important thing of the celebration! We had a super hard time finding the Avengers cake and guess what his creative mummy did? We ordered a normal Black Forest cake from Bengawan Solo, asking them not put anything on top of it, and I purposely went online to order an icing image of the Avengers and making sure I collect before the real party day, to place the icing image on top of the cake!!! And ta-tah... My boy's personalised Avengers cake!!!!!

And for my baby's first birthday, we decided to order a bunny design cake specially for him! Of cos, we have yet to see him liking any special cartoon characters, so it was pretty easy to order his cake!

Though baby is our 3rd baby, it's the first time I got the time to bake him a smash cake for him to enjoy!! As mentioned in my earlier post, I finally found a recipe which was easy and nice and made him a 'perfect' cake to enjoy!!

Unexpected things always happened at the most unexpected moments!! Know what am I referring to?? My camera's SD card memory prompted "memory full" when my baby starts to smash and eat the cake!! And lucky my sis-in-law, captured these photos for me and posted in FB, so I can download!!! Haha.... And we were really happy to see him enjoying the cake sooooo much!! He smell of the cake even after cleaning up!! Haha....

I had to thank my mum and sis, for taking the effort and time to prepare the red eggs and choo choo train jelly for the party!! Especially my sis, who's 38 weeks preggie, taking her Saturday night time to rush out the jellies for the party!! That's why it's always good to have sisters!! :D

Baby first time sitting on NTUC trolley's seat

We had brought him ample times for grocery shopping, but never put him into the baby seat on those supermarket's trolley! Today was his first encounter and he finds it amazing and been busy playing with the chain in front of him (the chain that used to chain all trolleys together).

Tanglin mall - snow

We know about this snow show at Tangling Mall yearly before Xmas, but never find time to go for it. This year, we decided to pop by since we will be having our 3D2N stay at MBS on 26 Nov!

Seems like many kids came prepared with raincoats, so they can still keep their clothings clean and dry while enjoying the foam!! Our first timer kids, had an awesome time but they were all drenched with the foam!!!

Alvan's first try on macdonald's hotcakes

Baby had his first try on the hotcakes today and he's taking it well... Eating bits by bits, opening his mouth for the next tiny bits when he's ready!! He's really a very 'tham jiak' baby!!! Haha...

But hope this will last him till he goes to primary sch... Cos Ashley and Adwin seems to start losing interest in food... Headache for me...
