A morning at Botanical Garden

This morning we brought Giselle to Botanical Garden for a walk after a visit to Dr Ngiam for tummy pain.

She enjoyed herself at the Garden and kept running around. Here are some pixs:

A Visit to the Goat Farm @ Hay's Dairy

Last nite when we told Giselle that we will be bringing her to Goat farm to feed the Goats, she was so happy and excited about it. Then after midnite, I on the room lights to find mosquitoes, she woke up and thought it was morning, smiled shouted 'Goat Farm'! Hahaha!

It took us about 40mins from our house to Lim Chu Kang. When we reached there, it was milking time for the Goats. A group of goats were led to the milking area where pumps were inserted on their ''nipples''? Giselle was very happy when we brought her to the area where we could get closer to the goats and fed them grass.

Initially she was quite fearful of the goats... but after some warming up, she began to enjoy feeding the goats, especially ''her bb goats'' which she always claimed. The baby goats were very cute and Giselle couldn't get enuff of them.

We ended the trip by purchasing some goats milk for tasting. Surprisely there isn't any foul smell and it taste quite nice actually:)

Another Christmas Trip to KL

Since we have enjoyed last year Christmas Trip at Traders Hotel KL, we have decided to bring Giselle there again for some relaxtion and shopping.

We reached KL on 22 Dec 07 3.30pm, after a 5 hours journey via Aeroline double-deck bus at 10.45am. Boarding Point was at a convenient location at Harbour Front and the bus and meal were quite comfortable. No jams at immigration and Tuas checkpoint.

Giselle were very wide awake during the journey until 2.10pm when she finally dozed off for her afternoon nap. I was so shagged managing this princess's demands and it was definately not easy to bring her for a holiday at her age.

Generally she enjoyed the hotel stay very much... refusing to take her naps as she prefers to explore the suite throughout. She liked to wear the bedroom slippers and walked about the room. She loved the spacious bathroom and long bathtub... she kept saying she wanted to pom pom there.

On the second day, we went for shopping after we finished our breakfast. She always wanted us to ''bao-bao'' (carried) when we were in the crowded KLCC shopping centre. One thing was that she loved taking the buggy ride to KLCC.

She enjoyed her swim there too!!!!!:)

View from Traders Club lounge was magnificent and doubt we could get such good view from other hotels.

On the last day, we told a cab to Corrus Hotel for Aeroline Coach bus to return to Singapore. Bus suppose to leave at 9am and we discovered that Adrian has left his wallet in the cab we just took. Panicked we quickly called our hotel whol managed to trace the cab driver for us. The driver kindly drove over to return the wallet to us, with all money untouched. We were very grateful and give him a MYR100 tip for his honesty. We would like like to thank a kind soul whom offered to drive us back to hotel for help when he knew we lost our wallet :)

The journey home were quite smooth. However, me and Giselle were shagged out from the whole journey and we took a 3hour nap when we reached home.

We Have Sold Our Lovely House

We finally made the BIG decision to sign on the dotted line to sell off our flat today for $526,000. Though I was glad that our lovely flat was sold to a nice doctor, I felt sad because Adrian and me built our lovely nest here and had Giselle to join us later on. She is so used to staying on high floor looking down from our full-length window to count the cars, see planes flying past and the beautiful lighted Christmas tree at Mount Faber, not to mention the beautiful fireworks......

Delcare Carolling... Giselle acted as a PRESENT

Delcare is holding their 1st Christmas carolling at Fuji Xerox Tower Atrium. Giselle and her classmates, including her teacher Ms Angela dressed like a Present and sway to music. When it was their turn to model out, Ms Joanne and Ms

Angela held the kids hands and walked them out... Giselle refused cooperate by looking at the audience... she just got fancinated by the choir behind and kept staring at them... Ms Angela also can't convinced her to turn around... hahaha.. really very funny....

Her New Pet-... FISHES

Today she has turned 29 months old and I decided to buy her 2 fishes to make her excited. She loves the fishes but doesn't really know how to play with them... She kept scaring them, thinking that she is playing with them....

29 Months old: Giselle helping me with Chores...

She finally decided that she is not afraid of the vaccum cleaner and wants to help me with housework... hahaha.... She had fun time vaccuming the floor...

Promoted to Nursery I!!! Yeah!!!

Giselle has been promoted frpm Playgroup to Nursery I at Delcare since 3 Dec 07. I am glad to know that her form teacher will still be Ms Angela but was a little disappointed that her chinese teacher Wang Lao Shi will be teaching another class instead.

Everytime when Wang Lao Shi asked Giselle if Wang Lao Shi can go to another class, she will reply : No! Guess she really likes her chinese teacher too... Nevertheless, Giselle new chinese teacher is Jiang Lao Shi and heard that she is a very gentle teacher. Hope Giselle won't bully her in the end.

Her classroom area has been changed and it took me a little to get use to putting her belongings in place. Christmas is round the corner and heard that Giselle class will be joining in the carolling on 18 Dec 07.

Giselle came to my office

Today is Kids@Work Day at DBS and most of my colleagues brought our kids to work. DBS has arranged for a line up of programme for kids. Giselle being so young wasn't so interested in the programmes and hence I only got her a balloon sculpture for her. I noticed that she loves the pop corns that were served.

She had enjoyed most of her time in my office, sitting on my chair and meddling with my desk things. After I fed her lunch, I brought her back to Delcare...

Daddy on RollerBlades!!!! He passed his 1st test! :)

This morning I brought Giselle to Bishan Park to support her Daddy taking his 1st level of rollerblading. He can blade pretty well and Giselle was very exciting to see her daddy on special shoes.... Weather was very hot and both of us were perspiring all the way...

Her good Friend, Vivian

Been wanting to put her good friend in school on Giselle's blog until now when I just managed to take the 2 of them together. You can see from the pictures that Vivian is a very sweet and pretty gal who often plays with Giselle. Her birth month is in Feb 05 and is older by 5months from Giselle. At times, she will act like a jie jie and will take care of Giselle, holding her hands etc. Last friday, was sad that we heard that Vivian is down with HFMD. We were shocked as I just met her that morning and she was fine and happy.

The school said that she had fever in the afternoon followed by some 1 spot on her feet, hand and below the lips... Guess I really have to watch out for Giselle in case she got it from her. Been monitoring closely on Giselle over the weekend and at the same time praying hard that her boday is strong enough to fight the HFMD virus.

Jealousy...

I find that Giselle gets jealous very easy when her daddy hug me or hold my hands. Her expression will turn to anger and she will just keep quiet, standing at where she is. She won't move or let us hold her hands until some time later

We have been educating her that Daddy and Mummy love each other and we love her very much as well. It is only recently that she is ok to see us hugging but she still find it unacceptable when I hold hands with her daddy. Guess it will take some time to know that there are different kinds of love in life...

Wow.... MERLION!!!!!!:)

After the Tuina course at Delcare, her daddy came over to pick us up where we headed to Boat Quay for some light snacks. Chanced upon the River Taxi and we decided to bring Giselle for a boat ride on the river. Tickets were $3 x 2 and Giselle had the ride for free.

Can see she has enjoyed the ride on the water and would cheered and laugh every time our boat when under the expressways. We alighted near Esplanade near where the Merlion is. She was very fancinated by the water coming out from the Merlion's mouth and she would imitate her. Really very funny. Hahaha. I will post the pixs once I got them uploaded from our handphones.

There were many people visiting the Merlion. Tourists, wedding couples taking their photo shoots etc. Giselle had a great time looking at the princesses (brides) and even pooed. Hence, we went to Fullerton Hotel to use their restrooms to wash her up and headed to Boat Quay to collect our car home. Thought it was a tiring day, but we are glad that Giselle has enjoyed this day :)

Infant & Children Massage & Tuina Course

Today had brought Giselle to attend this course organised jointly by Delcare and Singtrain Academy. This class was held at Delcare centre itself. During the last half of the lesson was a talk given by 97.2FM Bryan Gan on aromatherapy.

He has gave us many tips on using essential oils in our daily lifes and also taught us many different type of soups to cook for family. He personally recommended that Si Shen Soup is very good for general well-being and we should drink at least 2-3 times a week. He also gave has many DIY ways to massage our own body and face to prevent aging and improve our face complexion. I had thoroughly enjoyed his talk and find it abit too short even.

The 2nd half of the lesson is massage and tuina techniques taught by Singtrain Academy, Penny Chew. She is very lovely and friendly lady and is able to handle all of our questions. She has taught us different types of massage an tuina for babies and kids.

I find that other than medicines, tuina is a very good form of preventing and reliefing discomfort. Hope by attending course, I can improve the health of Giselle without giving her too much of relief of western medications.
