CNY 2009

Our CNY is finally over... and me only starting to post our CNY pictures!! hahaha... pls forgive me lah... :p

This year, I had gotten both of them the traditional outfit for our CNY celebrations, but never had a chance to put on for Ashley. And she is getting fussy nowadays, refused to put on the clothes I had chosen for her, all her outfits are dependent on her mood for the day before you see them on her!! So I had a hard time getting new clothes for her this year, cos if anyone got them without her, 99% of the chance is she will not put them on, of cos, most of the time I can still find clothings which I feel she likes! cos am her mummy!! hahaha..

Anyway, here's what Ashley wore (outfit bought by my mother-in-law)... I had a hard time trying to coax her to put them up!! Putting on for adwin was a breeze... even for the cute hat (dunno wat u call tat!! haha...) he'll tends to forget something is on his head... hahaha... check out his braid!! hahaha...

Siblings holding hands....

This is the first time Ashley says wanna hold on to Adwin & go gai-gai...

It just look so sweet the siblings are able to do that now... And Adwin is actually very happy to be able to hold on to his jie-jie's hand and follow her... In fact, he'll always follow the jie-jie, even at home, if Ashley is writing on her desk, he would do likewise... but there are times where he does find his jie-jie irritating too! hahaha...

But one thing very funny is, Adwin will always try to 'hold' on to jie-jie's hand, but jie-jie is also trying to hold onto didi's hand, so initially you will always see both hands trying to hold onto the other... haha... and Ashley will always guide didi to hold in the correct position...

Finally hair cut for Adwin

here's my LOOOOOOONNNNNNNG overdue postings:

My proudest task is for Adwin to have his hair cut before the coming Lunar New Year!!

As I had a bad experience (can't recall how many months old was his last cut) bringing him to a hair cut, so this time, I decided to bring him to a salon for babies/toddlers... sorry, can't recall the name of the salon but it's located at Parkway Parade...

The moment we reached Parkway Adwin was sound asleep, so, we went to take a Q no for his hair cut... hoping to get his hair cut while he sleeps so as to reduce his cracky moments!!

And before the lady finished, he had woke up due to us moving his head around for a better cut.. but I muz say, the lady was really fast, which is something I had hoped for, so Adwin will not realised he's there for a hair cut!! hahaha...

Anyway, am very happy with the cut, which makes him looks so much neaty & fresher, all worth for the $20 paid!! :D

Here's a look @ his before & after hair cut (him holding onto Ashley's cat floating balloon!!):
*ps, dun tell me u can't see a difference ok! hahaha...

Our busy mummy....

Mummy says she had lots of back-log postings to post.. but no time to load the pictures... so hope she can squeeze some time to update our blog... :(

anyway... we had celebrated our CNY liao... today is oredi the 9th day into the lunar calendar...

ok ok... mummy say shd juz summarised what she need to update...
- our CNY celebration
- Didi had his hair cut just b4 the CNY
- any other things... hahaha... :p

Mummy went crazy.... hahaha...

Our dec mummies are organising a BP for these customised Polo Tees.. And these are some of the ideas I came up with BUT dunno which one I should get for the kids...

Our family photo shot...

Ashley only want....

Another thing which I dunno when it started off again...

I dunno if this is consider good or bad... Ashley everything also say, 'I want ma-ma'... meaning, she just wants ME, the mummy, to do it for her... Be it picking things up for her, changing, showering, bringing her to childcare, picking her up... that's the only thing that will come out of her mouth!! If anyone were to try to help, she'll scream 'I dun want you... I want ma-ma'... OMG... sometimes it does gets onto my nerves especially when I'm busy with Adwin... Hope this will end very soon, cos am feeling so tired attending to my 2 active + naughty + terrible + horrible kids... :(

And I'm getting so busy nowadays, trying to do some spring-clean for the house, as chinese new year is just around the corner, and I really mean AROUND THE CORNER!! 25 Jan is our new year's eve... so left with only 10 days!! And I've got tons of things of my list to be done... guess I may have forgo my sleeping time!! And when new year come.. u'll see a PANDA mummy handling 2 MONKEYS... hahaha...

My 2 sticky kids!!

Seriously, I have no idea when all these started...

Now, my 2 baobeis are sticking to me like GLUE!! If I were to go shower, BOTH would be banging on my toilet door, screaming ma-ma & CRYING... OMG... I find it funny & lost @ the same time... really dunno what had happened that both would have the same reaction!!

My guess is that, Ashley is doing what her bro, Adwin is doing!! She would ask me to carry her if am not carrying Adwin! She now would only ask for me after her toilet business! And everything is just "I want mama!!" OMG... am really lost now and I really have no idea when all these would end... At 1 point, am glad my kids LOVE me soooo much (*that's to look @ things in a optimistic way!!*) but at 1 point, I can't do my things cos I've to be constantly staying with them if they are around.... HELP....

Our Genting Trip

Ok, finally some time for me to update my blog...

We brought our 2 kids to Gentings on 31 Dec 2008, so had a different counting down to the new year in another country for the first time!!

As commented by WL when we reached Gentings, it's not as cooling as before, I guess it's due to the changes that took place there... Alot had changed since we were there, which was about 10 years ago!! Hahaha...

In fact, the coach ride was quite a comfy one, as we had upgrade the coach to a better one, can't recall if it's known as the Executive or First class category. But we love the leg space & we get to enjoy the movies, games & even massage chair!!

We had a hard time trying to walk from the Bus Terminal to our Hotel Resort, cos somehow the signs went missing at some point along the way & it seems like we had climb over mountains & hills before we managed to reach the hotel lobby!!

Here's the pic Ashley insists us taking for her upon our arrival at the Hotel Resort lobby:


And, my precious Adwin lazing on the car ride after changing when we went to the Indoor Amusement Center:


Adwin enjoying the Double-deck carousel ride at the Outdoor Theme Park:


Ashley really enjoying the Double-deck carousel ride at the Outdoor Theme Park, but it puzzled me as to why she prefers to be lying on the seats when I take her pic:


Ashley on the Ferris Wheel... can't tell from the pic, cos it looks like she's on the carousel!! haha...


But overall, Ashley does enjoy the Gentings trip cos she really enjoy the arcade games, like the water gun shooting game, some ball games, as compared to those rides I brought her for.

Oh, & some updates on what their mummy & daddy did in Gentings...
- Mummy went for the Spiderman ride... ehm... it's a new thing in Asia, according to the signboard, but mummy find it ok only... but the headrest area was so smelly!!! hahaha...
- Daddy went for the Flying thing there, & had his first flying experience recorded on a DVD!! He does enjoy the flying, BUT had been complaining about the back aching for a few days... :p guess he's really OLD... hahaha... oh oh...

my nephew Caden

My 5mth old nephew is so cute that I can't resist but to post him pic here!! My sis had brought him to this photo session which makes him a sweetie in the pic!! Though he's as sweet as a boy in real life, but if he throw his tantrum, can be a real devil!! hahaha... :p

And my sis had just print this pic as a 8R Calender @ Harvey Norman.. it turns out sooooo nice, am full of envy now... :p

My jealous boy

Hahaha... this is so funny....

My nephew is also staying home now with my mum, who's helping me to baby sit Adwin. And today is their first day seeing each other for the whole day, & see the pic below!! Both babies are jealous of each other!! hahaha... both are vying for my mum's attention!! And her poor maid can only help to entertain the babies!!

My smart Adwin

It was Uncle Wei Zheng's wedding on 27 Dec (Sat)... so mummy had me & jie-jie dress up very prettily & smart, *tat's according to mummy.... She call me the Prince & jie-jie, the Princess! :D

Here's what I wore for the dinner tat day...

Back view of the Mickey Mouse suspender...


Me smart smart in bow tie!! :D



In fact, mummy had made me the center of attraction that nite... Cos alot of uncles & aunties wanna take a pic of me... they say I look so smart & cute... Also cos, I was walking all over the grand ballroom... and mummy had a difficult time going after me... hahaha....

And mummy is feeling quite bad, cos now then she realised, she didn't take pic of my pretty jie-jie... hahaha...

somethingstore.com

This post had been pending for a looooong looooong time... & I just thought would be interesting to share this with u guys... :D

Can't recall how WL got this website... think was thru papers or something & only when he got the parcel, then he told me about it...

This website: http://somethingstore.com/ allows u to order an item, be it a gift or surprise for yourself or your friend... just let them know the # of items you want & pay for it.. the parcel will arrive at your door step!! hahaha... u won't know what you had ordered, just open up the box for a surprise...

And here's what we got!!
1) An adult pair of sunglass... which Ashley loves alot.. hahaha..
2) A zipper pouch... which I used to put my make up in...
3) A funny looking toy... hahaha.. which WL thought is interesting...

Have a try... though the website does feature some interesting & expensive gifts they say they send out but dunno how true that is... hahaha... try your luck!

Setting up of our Xmas Tree

We have set up our Xmas tree this year... Ashley was so happy with it...

We did not set it up last year, as I was having my confinement after delivering Adwin on 12 Dec...

So, this is the first time Adwin sees a Xmas Tree in the house... Though Ashley would have seen it when she was a baby... but no impression was left in her.. so to her, as though this is the FIRST time a xmas tree appears in the house... hahaha... But the twinkle lights is spoilt... so Ashley won't be able to see a REAL nice xmas tree till WL get a replacement...

She was so happy this morning after she woke up & walk into the living room... shouting... WHOO... see a big xmas tree in the house!! So nice.... hahaha...

She was happily trying to help WL to put up the decors.. BUT all of them were so closed to one another... so WL had to help distribute them evenly on the tree and keep reminding Ashley to hang them nicely on the tree...

And when asked who helped with the setting up of the tree... she only said, Papa and Ashley... hahaha.. Mummy was there to supervise the job with Adwin on hand... as Adwin recovers from his week long stomach flu... :D

Yishun Northpoint new extension

Finally I get to try the Delifrance breakfast buffet since it's launched... I liked it very much, though WL say it's ok... But can see Ashley is enjoying herself there...

Their danish are all the mini versions of the actual danish sold at their deli, but I think is enough if we are just really the taste of it... a little of everything makes it just nice... :D Not much variety, but just enough for me to fill my tummy for the sunday morning....

And we went to explore the new extension at Northpoint, with the new library that had just opened it's door on Friday... It's really nice... especially with all the new books there... And they had put in more seats, I can never find a seat at other libraries I had visited... Ashley love it there too, since she loves books so much... haha... Guess we'll be visiting the library more often too... And the new extension had a new food court theme... Japanese food court!! Haven't got the chance to try it out though... As the extension is still undergoing some upgrading, we'll be back! hahaha...


And if you see a pic here where NO ONE is looking at my HP camera... as I can't get my 2 precious to look at the camera... WL decided that NO ONE will be looking at the camera for this photo... :(

Adwin down with stomach flu...

Adwin was down with stomach flu on Monday.... & I also didn't realized it was so serious till later in the day...

He would throw up the moment he finished his milk... besides throwing up, he's also having diarrhea.. and very surprisingly, his motion is white in color!! First time in my life to see white motion... And the next day (tues), he's down with fever.... OMG... terrible week this is...

And, can feel his lightness after a few days of vomiting & diarrhea.... hope he recovers faster and see his weight going up... he's been stopping at 10+kg since 5-6mths till now (11mths old)... guess he's now down to 9+kg after this round of stomach flu...

In fact, I guess all these flu start with ME about a month back... when I almost recovered, Adwin got it... just when he's recovering, daddy got it and Ashley also had stomach flu... and when she recovered, Adwin got it... & am down with flu again... OMG... Oct & Nov had been such a terrible time for us... trying to keep everyone healthy & fit for our Dec cruise... :D

Marina Barrage

We went to have a look at the Marina barrage after it's opening... And tons of people were there... The weather was quite bad... by the time we reach the car park, it's still a bit of a drizzle... And my Adwin is recovering from his fever too...

But the view is great!! I feel it's better than the Singapore Flyer!! haha... ** after signing up as Friends of the Flyer... **

But the Gallery is a very interesting place... We didn't expect it to be so big though... the exhibition is worth going for...

Recently, Ashley had taken a liking to putting on funny faces when we try to take a pic of her.. and it can be quite irritating!! And you can see from this collage here, she'll never stop irritating her brother too!!



Here's some view from the Marina Barrage... And also the exhibition hall...

Marina @ Keppel Bay

Our weekends are getting more and more adventurous and interesting....

We went to a new interesting place for dinner last Saturday... as intro by WL's colleague... Marina at Keppel Bay (a slip road next to the HarbourFront)

This is actually a small small island... the link bridge is very beautiful...

The only building in the island with 4 eateries... TCC, a Jap restaurant, a bakery & a western restaurant... As the name says... marina, it's actually a docking area for the yatches... so I guess it's not new to those yatch owners... but new to people like us without yatch! hahaha...

* u can click on the collage to enlarge them, so can see better...


WL is so fascinated with this staircase, as u can see, many pictures here are having the staircase as background! hahaha... We had our dinner @ TCC, but of cos, the children had their home-made porridge there...

As we had never tried TCC before, WL is again fascinated with their menu... In fact, they do have a range of interesting food... I like their Pumpkin cheese cake... it's really nice!! Give it a try! :D

Busy mummy

Been sometime since mummy create a new entry here... She had been so busy lately and also partly due to her old mobile is spoilt, therefore, mummy abit lost on blogging with her new mobile!

Hope mummy can find some time to load my nice nice pic here for everyone to see! ;)

My Nursing Cover

Glutton Adwin

Mummy says I'm getting more and more like jie-jie cos the moment I see anyone eating I would ask for a share too! But mummy always say I can't eat! Sob sob... This above pic was taken by mummy when she's preparing for her breakfast, and I just hope she can give me some bread too! Haha. Wish granted! ;)

Cheeky ashley

Daddy n mummy brought us to the family restaurant at taka. I liked the chawamushi here and the jelly! Haha. See how happy i am with my desserts!

Crying ashley

Ashley refuses to leave popo house today, after a night's stay over. It was quite terrible as she refuses to get into the car also keep screaming she wanna stay at popo's place! And she cried till she sleep in the car on mummy's chest! Guess she really had enjoyed herself during the night's stay!

Oh yes, yesterday we brought her to the airport to fetch popo home after a 7 day korea tour. Before ashley leaves the house, she brought along 1 luku fruit and say is for popo! Haha. Guess she's close to popo as she had been with popo since 3mth old till she goes to childcare when she's 27month old. And tomorrow marks her 1st anniversary at the childcare! Happy children's day! ;)

Adwin's first dip

Adwin had his first dip today at popo's house! He looks so relaxing in the float! While ashley is still having phobia of drinking the pool water that she prefers to walk around the pool!

Mummy doing hair rebond

Me with yiyi and aunty Niki today cos mummy decided to go for per hair rebond today since she's on leave. And here's me sleeping in my 'yao yao' after my lunch and milk feed. Haha.

Our Sentosa Stay...

Whew... Finally have the time to load the pictures & post on the blog... been quite busy lately...

Anyway, WL booked for a night's stay @ the Siloso Beach @ Sentosa during his 1-week break... It was a short & nice one... First time for us to really explore Sentosa, been a long long time since we been there... in fact, there's quite a lot of attractions for us to explore and I must say, the Island had really been through a revamp & by the time the IR is up there, it should be a very fun place to visit!!

Ashley enjoyed the stay alot, as she had been anticipating her sand castle building time along the beach... and she was looking so moody upon our arrival @ the hotel, as she was expecting us to hit the beach the moment we touch down and especially when WL told her about sand castle building in the MORNING!! OMG... Even during her Luge ride, she was still looking so gloomy till we bring her to the beach...

Adwin after his feed

Haha. Finally got my HP with me this time! I had always wanted to take picture of Adwin after his feed! Cos quite often he looks really cute dozing him after he latched on.

Didi's breakfast?

Haha. Didi is happy playing with the disposable spoon that daddy gave him. While all of us is enjoying our buffet breakfast at the resort.

Siloso Beach Resort

We checked into the resort at 3pm. The sky is turning dark, no plan for anything yet. Only thought of going for the Song of the Sea after dinner.

Eventful weekend BUT no supporting photos... :(

*pic shown here is taken from daddy's camera... limited... **

Haiz... my blur mummy had accidentally deleted lots of photos she taken over the past weekend... so no more photos to be uploaded here.... *sob sob*...

We had an eventful weekend... I shall begin my story from Saturday... :D

SATURDAY: As usual, I've to attend my new chinese enrichment program @ Tian Xia... BUT this session I've to perform cos it's the end of term... It's MY first performance & daddy & mummy were quite disappointed cos I was the only in the class to be standing in front of a crowd of N2 & K1 children & lots of uncles & aunties... as my classmate had 'stage fright'... he was crying SOOOO badly before the performance & my other classmate was absent... mummy took some photos with her mobile... BUT was deleted... so u can't see my embarrassed expression... hee hee...

After my performance, we went back home... Daddy as usual went to 'work' from 2-6pm... after he's back, we went out for dinner @ Hong Kong Street restaurant along Thomson Road.... BUT it had changed to a different Hong Kong Street... Anyway, after dinner, we went to Thomson Plaza, the newly opened Finest Fairprice... & along our way home, Daddy saw SMOKE coming out from his car!!! He kinda got a shock & mummy asked him to pull over @ a safe place... & we all got out from the car to see what's happening... and realised the coolant tank is EMPTY... after the car cooled down, daddy drove to the nearest petrol kiosk to get coolant to top up & we continue our way home... BUT, before we can reach home, we had stopped halfway again, cos the temperature of the car went up again & after another check, the coolant tank is EMPTY again!! so mummy guessed it's somewhere there that had leaked...

SUNDAY: Mummy had bought tickets to join Berriworks for a movie event for the family, but cos daddy's car broke down, we had to leave our house early to take the train all the way down to Suntec Eng Wah for the event... it was very tiring for Daddy & Mummy, but me & didi enjoyed ourselves, cos we had our strollers! hahaha... AND, of cos, mummy had taken few photos for the movie event BUT had accidentally deleted them away... hahaha... oh, btw, we watched WALL.E... & me & daddy had dozed off in the midst of WALL.E adventure in the outer space... hahaha... And we had our late lunch @ Kenny Rogers... Daddy & Mummy managed to finish ONE WHOLE chicken!! Can u believe it??!

Even though Daddy & Mummy said they were tired, they can still go to Junction 8 @ 5pm!! hahaha... cos Daddy need to visit the Sony Ericsson shop to fix his new mobile lah... :p

MONDAY: Mummy's on leave cos my childcare is closed for Teacher's Day & Daddy's on his 1 week break... BUT he left early to fix the car... & he bought lunch back... but we went out for dinner @ Chong Pang market & Daddy & Mummy bought me a bicycle!!! Yeah!! They hope I can learn to ride & look forward to visit some parks during our weekends... :D

More happenings the next 2 days... as we'll be staying @ SENTOSA!! hahaha...

Caught in action

Adwin had been trying to get up on his own these few days. This is one taken showing him trying to hold onto mummy's bed's headboard, trying to pull his heavy body up!
