Running about at Raffles Place

Her daddy wanted to upgrade his handphone the new Samsung Omnia and hence we took a MRT down to M1 at Raffles Place. While Adrian was making his purchase at M1, Giselle was busy running about at the open space outside the station. She saw those fake ugly looking people "standing" on the grass and began to be very curious about them...

We also noticed today that she got bolder and bolder by running to and fro when me and Adrian were in different shops. I could be looking at clothes for 2 sec and she would disappear from my sight then. I got so worried when i can't find her and she had actually ran back to TCC cafe to find her daddy... OMG...

Agar Agar Mooncake

After eating Jen's agar agar yam mooncake, I fell in love with the mooncake immediately... So sedap!!

So I told myself must try to learn and try to do it myself... After a week of dreaming about it, manage to make sometime that looks like it... :)

For the top layer, I used the Dragon fruit with red flesh. The filling was the yam paste that I made myself using some potato starch powder, sugar and coconut milk. The botttom layer is just some agar agar powder, boiled with sugar and coconut milk.

Water Play at IMM with her Classmates

Delcare brought them to IMM for some waterplay and bubble play. The kids had so much fun...

Jonas Full Month and Sherise 2nd Birthday

Today is a special day for Sherise and her didi, Jonas. Her mummy has invited us to her house to celebrate her princess 2nd birthday and her newly arrived prince's full month.

Jennifer's mum is really a great cook. All her food - Ngoh hiong, chicken curry, fried beehoon, prawns were so yummy and I couldn't stop eating. Then came the agar agar mooncake made by Jen's confinement lady and her were so irresistable :)

The kids had fun playing with each other company. Giselle started to warm up later part and helped herself with Sherise toys.

Happy Birthday to Sherise!!! :)

Practising her writing skills

Been trying to teach her do some writing at home. Those were the photos that you could see her serious at work... But only for very short moment... haha

THE VIRTUE OF SHARING

Adrian and I notice that Giselle is very wiling to share things around even those what she has was the last piece. When friends came to my house the last time with their children, she didn't mind if the children touched and mess with her toys. I thought most of the kids would come complain to parents but Giselle didn't complain a single bit.

Even when comes to food. That day her daddy gave her some raisins and told her no more after that round. She happily went to the dining table to enjoy her raisins. I purposely went over and asked her if I could have some.. She happily said "Yes" and started sharing with me (she was given only 5 or 6 raisins). When came to last piece, I purposely asked her if I could have the last one and she automatically nodded her head and put the last piece in my mouth :)

Seeing how a nice girl she was, her daddy gave her a few more raisins as her reward. We told her she was given more because she was very willing to share her food with others..

Very chatty Gal....

Since I am on leave, I tried to spend more time with her during the last 1 week of my leave. Brought her out to supermarket, shopping, meals, library and we thoroughly enjoyed each other company very much, just the 2 of us... Hmm, it was just leave a couple who was out on a date....

Sometimes she would get tired and grumbled, otherwise, she would enjoy browsing through the things that she likes, for eg, Princess collection, strawberry shortcake etc... But not even once, she would pester me to buy for her... In fact, sometimes she would say she will buy for me tomorow as i don't have this and that... Haha... I like to ask her why tomorrow? Not today? She can't answer me... probably she knew that she didn't have the money.

The way she replies me now also surprises me alot. One day, i asked her does she like me to bring her to the library. She told me yes and told me I haven't bring her for a swim for a long time also. Can't believe a just-turned-3 year old little girl could answer me like this... Hahaha

Finally she DID IT! :)

Giselle finally noes to peddle a bicycle (4-wheel kids type) correctly. We bought this bike last year and it is only recently that she decided to try peddling again after seeing her fren, Hwee Jun riding on her new bicycle downstairs...

Initially Giselle didn't do it well and kept peddling backwards, but after about 30mins she managed to do it....All of us were so happy... I think Giselle was the happiest :)

Marina Bay Golf Course

Met up with my friends at Marina Bay Golf Course cafe to enjoy NDP rehearsal fighter planes show and fireworks. We really had a good view of it, better than being at the NDP actual venue! :)

A recap on her growth...

Now that she is 3 years old, she talks differently too... Just 4 days ago, while I was reading her bedtime story, she suddenly said next time she grows tall tall, she would read mummy a story too.... I was soooo touched by her thoughts.... :)
