Fun Day @ Marina Barrage

Delcare has organised a outing for NII kids and Giselle got to visit Marina Barrage with her classmates for some waterplay.

Had decided to join Giselle and her friends for some fun time. The first thing that her friends asked me was how come I am not wearing Yellow Tee shirt. Haha! It is a requirement for the Delcare kids to wear yellow top when they are going for an outing.....

Reached that place at about 10am and the all the kids were so excited. After going to the toilet, all the kids stripped down to their swimming attire and dashed towards the water.

Giselle and her friends had fun splashing water at one and another. She and Audrey had a good time running across the fountains and making her teachers wet...

After about an 1hour of playtime, the rain started and all the teachers gathering them under the shelter to change into their dry clothes and eat lunch....

I seldom join their outing as I am afraid that Giselle would stick to me. However, she is much more independent than expected. I enjoyed watching and hearing her chatting with her friends... :)

Tuna Potato Pie for Giselle

Tried follow a simple recipe from a book that Teresa has lent to me. This dish is really very simple make. Basically my first layer (from the bottom) is mashed egg, followed by tuna mixed with veggies. Top part I put in a thick layer of potatoes and sprinked some cheddar cheese.

I made 2. Giselle helped me with the other one. She had fun piling the ingredients in the souffle dish. Then I put it in the oven to bake at 180 degree C. It was ready in about 15mins to have a brown layer on top.

Giselle had this for dinner today and she loves it...!!!

Home-made Guotie...

I am a Guotie lover and tried the Guotie recipe from bakingmum.blogspot.com. today. Appearance was quite nice and the taste, I can't comment much as I am still recovering from runny nose. Hence, most of the things is tasteless to me...

But my mum tried and she said quite good :)

It's Mummy Birthday Today!!!

Just bought a simple cake from Tiong Bahru Plaza to make Giselle happy. She loves putting the candles and blowing them.. haha.

Fun time with Giselle making Wanton :)

After bringing Giselle to the dental, I brought her to NTUC to get some ingredients for making wanton. When we reached home, we started the wrapping after I have marinated the pork.

Initially she kept saying "I don't know how to wrap!". After some time, she began to wrap some triangle ones, rectangle ones and some wrap like a "bao1". haha.

So for tonight dinner, we just ate the wanton with the dried egg noodles that I have cooked. Adrian said it was very yummy.

The bowl that has carrots in it belongs to Giselle. Wanted to make it more colourful for her.

Giselle's 1st Visit to the Dental...

...and this mission had failed!!!

Days before going to the dental, I had spent time explaining to her why children needs to go to the Dentist to clean their teeth. She was quite enthusiastic about going to the Dentist and kept saying she wants to have a set of Princess White teeth. I even shown her pictures of what is going to happen during the visit.

While waiting for her turn at the clinic, her mood was very good. Things starts to change totally the moment she step in the treatment rooms. She started to get nervous. I managed to get her to sit on the treatment chair and the lady Dentist patiently expained all the things around her to Giselle.

Perhaps that the Dentist explained too much things to her that she stubbornly refused to open her mouth for treatment.

The group of us spent 45mins convincing her but we still failed terribly. I told her since she wants to leave with a dirty set of teeth, then let us go home. Who knows she refused to step out of the treatment room, but yet she still don't want to open her golden mouth. She just weeped quietly.... haiz...

In the end, I paid $30 consultation fee even though no service was rendered. When she reached home, she happily told me she wants to go to the Dentist again and said she will open her mouth this time... *faintz*

To Celebrate Mummy's Birthday in advance...

We had the dinner today instead because we thought of using tomorrow night for cake cutting. Since Adrian likes chinese food, so I thought of going to HK cafe at Vivo City. We ordered a noodle, mushroom fried rice and some fries... My dear Giselle just couldn't stop eating the fries....

Her "Da4 Tou2" video....haha

Is like a ang moh kid speaking in mandarin.... *faintz*

Colourful Fried Rice for the Family

Can't think of anything to cook for dinner today and hence, went to dig out the ingredients from my fridge. This is the usual fried rice but this time round, I added some broccoli to make this dish a healthier one.

Crab Feast at Melben Restaurant at AMK

My family went for a loh hei cum crab dinner at Melben restaurant. My sister in law managed to get a table reserved through her friend who stays at the same block as the resturant. If not, the queue would be tremendous for us.
