She is the STAR Today....!:)

Today, I wish her a "Happy Birthday!" right after she woke up. She smiled and said joking today is not her birthday. Then I replied her, ok, then we are not going to Singapore Flyer and buy her favourite Hi-5 pencil box for her. Wow, she quickly took back her words. Haha.

We left our house at about 10am and headed to UOB to settle some banking matters. After that, we headed to Singapore Flyer. Giselle was very excited when we were on the way to the Flyer, after signing up for the Friends of Singapore Flyer membership, we headed up to take her long-awaited Flyer flight :)

As there isn't any crowd today, we managed to have a whole capsule to ourselves. Giselle was so happy and excited running about in the capsule. Jaren, as usual, was happily sucking his thumb or his usual towel as the flyer moved. I must say he has been very cooperative throughout today's outing :)

After the flight, we went to Suntec City to take lunch at Crystal Jade Kitchen where Giselle gobbled up her favourite char siew noodle. Thereafter, she happily asked if it is time to go Carrefour to buy her favourite Hi-5 pencil case.

As promised, I bought not 1 but 2 Hi-5 items for her. This really brightened up her special day even more. Now, as I am typing this post, she and Jaren are sleeping soundly in their room, with the Hi-5 organizer beside her pillow.... :)

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING PRINCESS, GISELLE!!!! Mummy and Daddy will love you always....

Birthday Celebration @ her Fairfield School

I ordered a Hello Kitty cake for her to celebrate with her Fairfield classmates on 14 Jul. We went along to celebrate with her yesterday. I had also prepare some Hello Kitty and Ben10 stationery sets for her to distribute to her classmates as goodie bags.

A Lovely Picnic @ Botanic Garden...

We haven't gone for a picnic since Jaren arrived. Hence, yesterday we decided to go on a nice picnic early morning today.

Well, early morning was about 8am. That's the earliest we can get everything prepared to leave our house. Giselle was very excited about this picnic. We managed to get a nice spot in front of the Symphony Orchestra Stage at the Botanic Garden. It was a lovely morning with a cooling weather, but no breeze though. We ate our breakfast (prepared a ham and egg sandwich for all of us) on the mat. Thereafter we began to relax and do people watching. haha.. Shortly after, Giselle was running about on the green pasture.

We met up with Lincoln's family and had a nice chat. When the sun came in, we packed up and walk to the shaded area. The kids were complaining of Hotness and started perspiring. We left the place at about 11am as Jaren has to go for his penumoccocal jab this afternoon.

Giselle's Counting Down to her 5th Birthday...

The conversation went like this:

Giselle: "Mummy, Mummy, today is still June?

Me: "Yes!"

Giselle: "My Birthday coming soon right?"

Me: "Yes, are you excited?"

Giselle: "Yes! My Birthday is on July 15"

Me: "What you want for your birthday?"

Giselle: "I don't know!"

Me: "You don't know? Are you sure you don't know?:)"

Giselle: "I want Bee Hoon!"

Me: "Huh? You want Bee Hoon? Ok, will ask Daddy go to the market to buy a packet of Bee Hoon that day..." Hahaha

Everytime when she talks about her birthday, she gets really excited and happy! In the end, she told me she wanted to prepare Goodie Bags for her classmates and a Hello Kitty Birthday cake.

Her Special Playground

My estate has 2 playgrounds and d one shown in d photo is more for older kids and above.

At times, Giselle likes to visit this one with many obstacles. Initially she is very skeptical about playing at this playground. But after a few tries, her confidence get better, she began to like this place :)

Dim Sum Lunch at The Jade, Fullerton Hotel

We brought my parents to The Jade Restaurant, together with my brother and sis-in-law, for a nice tim sum lunch. They were having tim sum buffet on weekends and Jaime had booked this weeks ahead.

Giselle had fun playing Jaime and my brother. After lunch, we walked over to the Asian Civilisation Museum for a walk.

While passing through the Cavenagh bridge, we stopped to take a few pictures. Since my dad was there, we managed to take a few nice family photos.

End of June Holidays for Giselle

Yesterday marked the last day of a month long school holiday for Giselle.

This june holiday was definitely a lazy one for her because she has been sleeping till late almost every morning. I wonder how is she going to adapt to reality next week when she has to wake up at 6.30am on school days.

As Jaren gets older, he could "communicate" with Giselle more. They adore each other - laugh, smile together. Whenever I am busy, Giselle is my little helper to her baby brother :)

A Nice Monday

Supposed to have a baking session today but was postponed.

Hence I brought Giselle n Jaren to Vivo City by bus since the weather was nice n cooling.

I put Jaren in my Pikkolo carrier to make it easier for me to board n alight from the bus n to take care of Giselle :)

It was a nice trip though Giselle is more difficult to manage nowadays.

Jaren @ 12 weeks old

Times flies and Jaren is coming to 12 weeks old now.

He smiles and babble alot now. He is also more conscious of his surrounding and he really wriggles alot whenever he is placed on the matteress or cot. He would been his knees, uses his heels and body to push himself upwards. Most of the time he will corner himself and get really angry demanding for help. They said boys are usually more active which I find is really true. Giselle wasn't like that at Jaren's age. She is definitely more demure then... but now, she is also behaving like a boy at times... haiz..

Kiddy Rides

Giselle has always been a big fan of kiddy rides but usually she does not demand us to put in coins for her. That's the good part of her nature.

But at times we would ask her if she wants to have a ride when she has been a good gal on that day :)

Jaren's Milestone

Jaren's motorskills has been surprising everybody.

At about 2+week old, he began to show signs that he was able to lift his head high when on tummy time. By 3 weeks, his neck became even stronger n confidently lift his head high up.

Then came his flipping skills that came at week5 when he was able to flip from tummy side down to tummy side up.

After my nanny left at week 4 I had him fix to a routine n sleep with any assistance from me. After 3 weeks of cries n difficulties, he managed to sleep through the night without waking up for milk at week 7. Most important of all, he has learn to soothe himself to sleep in his cot. This has help me alot in terms of my time management. Jargling with 2 kids is really no joke but luckily Jaren has made it slightly easier for me. Of course I have to continue to keep my fingers crossed all the time.

Today at week 10, Jaren is able to flip from tummy side up to tummy side down. I just fear that I wouldn't be able to cope if he starts crawling soon.

Wonderful Day Today!

Daddy took off from work and took all of us to West Coast Park for MacDonald breakfast and a stroll in the park.

The weather was exceptionally nice today and all of us enjoyed it.

During d evening time, we headed to Crystal Jade Kitchen for a simple dinner. Giselle enjoyed the dinner alot and so did me. Hehe!:)

My 1st Shopping Trip with Giselle n Jaren Alone!

I was a little adventurous today as Giselle has no school. Since haven't went shopping for a long time, I brought d 2 of them to Isetan. Left home at 11.30am n reached home at 3pm.

Before leaving d house I highlighted to Giselle that she is not to push d stroller n to listen to my instructions.

We told cabs to n fro. Luckily d drivers were helpful enough to keep my stroller.

Jaren was pretty happy to be in d stroller, enjoying things that came within his sight. His smiles are always melting my heart.

Giselle has been alright just that she got excited at d toys department n refused to listen to me. Otherwise she had been good to help me look after Jaren when I was trying clothes in d fitting room n helping me to take things when I was changing Jaren's diaper.

I wanted to venture to Takashimaya but told myself I better not be too daring.

Overall, this has been a good trip though I became super tired after that :)

Supper at Canele (Robertson Quay)

After our dinner at the Japanese Restuarant, we headed to Canele for some sweet stuff and tea. One of the pixs show the $2.50/pc chocolate, really very yummy! :)

Giselle n Jaren

Hahaha, Jaren is frowning in the 2nd pix!

I Cannot Stop Laughing at this Photo!

Giselle was rubbing her nose because Jaren's "standing hair" was tickling her nose. Then it seems like Jaren was having fun out of this, hence he was laughing... :)
