Hi-5 in Town again...!

Well, since is school holidays now, most malls are having their own meet and greet session for some characters like Barbie doll, Mr Men, Barney etc and of course, not forgetting Giselle's favourite Hi-5!

This round, they are at Marina Square from 26 Nov - 12 Dec. I had promised Giselle to bring her there today for the 1pm show. We reached there at about 12.10pm and the queue was really a LONGGG one! To take pix with the group, we have to be within the 1st 50 families. Well, we were not and I managed to convince Giselle that since she had taken a pix with them last year, she should give a chance to other kids this year. She wasn't unhappy and was very understanding to accept the fact.

While queuing for the show, we met Tim and Stevie walking to the backstage to prepare. They were really nice and friendly by waving and smiling to us.

At the end of the show, Giselle wanted badly to pass a small piece of drawing that she has done to Laurent . Not wanting to disappoint my gal, I sneaked by the side and headed towards the host on the stage while the rest were queuing to go up the stage to take pix.

My original intention was just to pass the drawing to the host, Melissa, and asked her to pass the drawing to Laurent. Well, she said since Giselle is a big fan of Hi-5, she should hand the drawing to her personally. Hence, Melissa gave us a pass to go to the stage. What a pleasant surprise! Giselle suddenly became the happiest little on earth !!! :)

Love his Expression!

It's Titus's 1st Birthday Bash!

Time is flying again and Titus is turning 1 very soon. Today Ken and Gina held a celebration for him at one of the bunglows in the East side. All the kids had alot of fun playing with one and other and my dear Jaren also had fun moving around till he fell on the floor while missing his balance... ;p

Curious Boy

Adrian brought Jaren to sit near the water fountain outside Burlington Square. Jaren was fascinated by the water fountain and yet he is fearful of the initial splash.

School Holiday Days are drawing very near....

Well, the start of my extra busy days soon when Giselle doesn't need to go to school. This round I am going to be lazy and not sign her up for any holiday programmes...


Prefer her to stay at home to finish the various activity books that I bought for her last time and also to spend more time reading the many story books that I bought for her from Borders store.

Jaren at 8 months old...

Just a blink of eyes and my little baby is 8 months old now. His growth has been tremendous! Sometimes I find really too fast for me to catch up....

He started crawling at when he was about 6.5months when he wasn't even ready to sit on his own then. Since then, I have to make sure my eyes are on him when he is happily crawling round the hall.

My current house hall to too small to put a play-yard and hence, I gave up the idea of fencing him. Boys being boys, he is so active, even when I am carrying him, he would wriggle, turn his head left to right etc. Oh, and now he is also drooling ALOT. Always leaving his traces of saliva, everywhere he goes... faintz!

Since he is so mobile now, I also have to make sure my house floor is free of dust and dirt (not 100% of course) most of the time.

Now he can play so well with his elder sister who also had alot of fun playing with him.

Tree Planting Day at Jalan Membina

Today there was a visit by our Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kwan Yew to our estate to honour the Tree Planting Day event.

Well, since 3 weeks ago, our estate has been "exceptionally" clean and some of our blocks walls was repainted to prepare for his arrival. Maybe I should say a big Thank You to our MM Lee. I tried to get hold of the tickets for this event but somehow I couldn't get it as the RCs were closed most of the time.

Nevertheless, today, we went down at 5pm sharp, hoping to catch a glimpse of MM Lee upon his arrival. Giselle was very excited too today. Well not because of MM Lee, but because she wanted to watch the performance on the stage. haha.

We waited till 5.45pm but still no sight of MM Lee. Jaren was getting real crankly as he was perspiring among the crowd. Giselle too was complaining that she's very hot and kept saying why have to wait so long.. Well, KIDS!

Hence we headed to the coffeeshop for dinner and went back at around 6.20pm when MM Lee had arrived. I managed to catch a glimpse of him from far. When he gave a short speech on stage, I realised that he is really old and frail as he spoke quite softly. Nevertheless, I am happy to finally get to see him for once. A highly respectable man of Singapore! :)

Giselle as the Photographer again... :)

Think she has the potential in photography :)

A Visit to the Asian Civilisation Museum

This Museum was having some activities for kids today and hence we brought Giselle there to have some fun. Since parking was quite inconvenient, all 4 of us took a train to Raffles Place and walked.

As there was long queue for the kite and lantern making activity, we just brought Giselle to participate in the passport stamping expedition. Basically was that we had to cover a few parts of the musuem to locate the staff to stamp on her museum passport. A simple activity and yet she had fun walking around and locating the staff.

After getting 4 stamps on her passport, she happily went to the reception to claim her goodie bag :)

Sisterly Love

Jaren is very fortunate to have a elder sister to play with him since birth. Sometimes none in my family can make Jaren laughed, except for Giselle.

Everyday after Giselle returns from her school, she looks forward to see and play with her little brother. Maybe Jaren, at his age now doesn't know how to protect himself even if Giselle bullies him (though it has never before).




A typical playtime scene would be Jaren was put into his bumbo seat and be manipulated by Giselle, just like the above photo.

Now as Jaren grows older, he knows how to scream when he is made uncomfortable by Giselle.

Gong Gong Birthday today!

Giselle has been excitedly counting down today her Gong-Gong's birthday as she wanted to gave him a card. So today I went to Four Leaves Bakery to buy a Mango cake for my father and invited him to my house for a mini-celebration with his grandchildren - Giselle and Jaren.

During the singing of the birthday song, Giselle was so happy (as though is her birthday, haha!) and kept laughing and smiling. Jaren enjoyed the session throughout too.

I Love You, You Love Me....

As Jaren is 6 months now, I thought it would be nice to bring him and Giselle for some studio shots at The Studioloft. Giselle had her photos taken when she was younger and I really like the effect of the shots.

Here are some glimpse of the photos taken earlier this month.

We are on Ikea Cover!

A Weekend Getaway at Festive Hotel, Resorts World Sentosa

It been quite some time since we had a good break. Since Giselle loves to stay in a hotel room so much, we booked a 3 days 2 nights stay (inclusive of Universal Studio tickets).

We reached the hotel at about 9.30am and managed to get our rooms instantly. It was a pleasant surprised as we expect to check in only at 3pm. The hotel and room was great! Good service, nice room and a loft bed for Giselle - everything we asked for to satisfy everyone. Jaren has his own small baby cot as well.

We headed for Universal Studio at about 11am, together with Stephanie, Joanne, Regina's family. The kids were happy having their own company, as well as all the adults. All the children had fun taking photos with the movie characters like Kungfu Panda, Madagascar, Wood Pecker.

For Giselle, she only enjoyed the 4D shrek movie and some kiddy rides. Jaren was in the stroller most of the time.

I guess throughout the 3 days 2 nights trip, Giselle and Jaren enjoyed their time most was at the hotel room. Jaren was busying having fun crawling on the big king size bed while Giselle was happily climbing up and down the ladder to her loft bed.
