Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!!!!

Time flies and we have reached the last day of 2013. A lot of things, fantastic things happened this year. Starting from myself being pregnant with Helius and anticipating his arrival on 2 Aug.

Well, Giselle has done well in her studies and she will be joining some of her P2 classmates to be in the leading P3 class next year. Adrian and I were really proud of her!

Jaren has also grown taller and he has promoted to Gor Gor level and no longer a Didi anymore. My new year resolution for him is to put on more weight next year!

My coming 5 months old Helius is doing very well on my breast milk to him and I am really thankful I am producing enough milk for him. At his current age, he is already 8.7kg despite his birth weight was 3.14kg.

I see myself trying to be stronger each day and also training myself to have more patience with 3 kids now…

As for Adrian, I see him being a better daddy each day all of us are very fortunate to have him for his love and care all these while.

Today marks the end of 2013, we had initially wanted to go out to enjoy the countdown and fireworks at Esplanade but managed to as our car's tyre was punctured. Anyway was a really blessing in disguise as we discovered the punctured type at our housing carpark.

So long 2013, HELLO 2014!!!! It is going to be a even better year for all of us!

Merry Christmas! Our Christmas Dinner @ Liang Court

River Safari, Mandai

Upon seeing the weather was quite cooling this morning, we decided to head down to River Safari to fulfill our kids' wish.

It started to drizzle when we reached there, however, as the whole place was sheltered throughout, we had fun and enjoyed the whole walk. Helius was very co-operative and Jaren, although, he was pulling a long face for don't-know-whatever reason initially, he had enjoyed this trip.

We saw quite a few animals with the big alligator which looked like a faked one amazed us. We managed to see kaikai the male panda. Jiajia however was taking a nap in her own cage and we didn't catch a glimpse of her. The boat ride was also fully taken.

Despite the rainy, all of us enjoyed the place a lot…

Traders Puteri Harbour Hotel 14 Dec

We went to Traders Puteri Harbour Hotel, Malaysia for a night stay again to satisfy the kids' request for a staycation at Hotel.

Initially we were supposed to be at Turi Beach Batam on 6-8 Dec. However, we decided to cancel it as Giselle and Jaren were sick then. Nevertheless, both of them had so much fun at Traders, having soak at the bathtub with each other company, including Helius.

Fortunately Helius has slept well throughout the night and all of us had enjoyed the good service at the hotel.

Cycling Adventure @ East Coast Park

 It has been quite some time since we went there for some cycling fun. Since we had cancelled our Batam trip today, we had a lot of fun cycling at the park too.

As you can see from the first photo, the sky was beginning to turn dark. About 30mins later, strong wind came while Daddy and kids was cycling, we quickly rush to the Macdonald cafe for some food and shelter. Thank God the heavy rain only came after we reached there…

We had a wonderful time enjoying family time together.

My Little Helius who went for his hair shave on 14 Nov

Jaren & Helius

Most of us was thinking Jaren may bully Helius when he is out but Jaren has proved us otherwise. Jaren adores Helius and has helped me in many way to take care of Helius. Although he doesn't really know how to sayang him (sometimes used too much force), but we can definitely see his love for Helius. Many a time when Helius cries, Jaren will go over and tell him "振义，你不可以哭。" Then he will go ON the hanging mobile for him...

Jaren, if you are reading this, Daddy and I still love you and Jie Jie Giselle very very much and no one else can replace your places in our heart!!!

My Cheeky Jaren

Seeing Jaren getting older each day makes me think that I am a great mum! ;-)
