Lunch With Lil' Emma & Lil' Joelle...

Yay! Lil' Emma & Aunty Annie are finally back from their month long trip to Shanghai so we arranged to meet up for lunch and tea with Lil' Joelle & Aunty Michelle! We were so happy to see each other again and had so much to catch up on! We met at Jurong Point, had lunch at Old Town Cafe before adjourning to Bakerzin for dessert!

The kids shared three scoops of ice-cream...Boy! Were they delighted!

The kids eyeing Aunty Michelle's & Mommy's Macaroons!

Aunty Annie & Aunty Michelle...

Lil' Angel & Lil' Joelle...

ooOOoOOOHhhhhh...so cute! Just like Charlie's Angels!

Trains Watching!

Not only did the Mamas have a good time catching up, the kids had a very good time too!

Under The Sea & Bears...

Thanks to Serene Gou Gou for getting passes for us to the Omni-Theatre, Lil' Angel caught her first shows at the theatre today. The first show that we caught was "Under The Sea".

Lil' Angel enjoyed the show very much and there couldn't be a better time for catching the show as Teacher Lavina has been introducing the kids to the sea creatures in the underwater world this term! The show was approximately forty minutes and throughout the show, Lil' Angel kept asking me where's Nemo, where's the stingray, where's the jellyfish, where's the crab...quite loudly! I decided to get her some snacks when we watch the second show to keep her quiet.

The next show that we caught was "Bears". It was another forty minute show and this time, Lil' Angel was getting restless right from the beginning. She kept getting on and off her seat and trying to clamour onto the seats in front of her. I gave her Pocky but that only helped a little! The show featured Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears and Sun Bears. When the Grizzly Bears came on, Lil' Angel started singing "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?" pretty loudly! And being in the theatre for more than an hour, she got a little bored and started singing the ABC song! I had to cover her mouth just so that she wouldn't disturb the people near her! Guess it really wasn't a good idea to catch two shows consecutively! Should have known better that a two-year-old will not be able to sit quietly for two hours! Oh well...at least she did enjoy the shows!

Lunch With Lil' Cherelle...

Met up with Lil' Cherelle & Aunty Cynthia for lunch today. And what a coincidence...both the girls were similarly dressed! Their tees are of the same brand and they are wearing the same pair of shorts...and to top it off, they brought their "doll doll" and bags along!

Walking Together Hand in Hand...

Having fun on the kiddy ride...

After lunch, the kids insisted on going to the playground...

What a cute shot of the girls swinging themselves!

Go Kart...

We went to the airport for lunch and realised that there was a Go-Kart event being held there...

Lil' Angel having fun on the Go-Kart!

Dinner at Jumbo Seafood...

We went to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant for dinner this evening...

Lil' Angel was enjoying the peanuts while watching her show. She seems as tho' she was in the cinema!

The yummy food...especially the crabs! Lil' Angel targeted the man tous!

We are ready to attack the food! Yumz!

Dim Sum Lunch With GodMama...

It is a glorious Saturday...cos we are meeting GodMama for Dim Sum lunch at Peach Blossoms!

GodMama & Lil' Angel!

Lil' Angel was so happy with the dress that GodMama got her! Thank you GodMama!

Oooooohhhh...the food! The food was medicore but the company was excellent! Thank you GodMama for the treat...we must arrange another pig out session soon!

Lunch With Cousin Yue En...

After class today, we met up with Eunice Yi Yi & Cousin Yue En for lunch...FINALLY! It has been quite a few months since I last saw my lil' cuzzie! We had lunch at New York New York at Lot 1...

Thinking hard on what to eat!

Lil' Yue En has really grown so much in the last three months! Her hair has grown quite a bit and they are curly...just like mine! And she's getting cuter each time we see her! I am glad that both of them get along pretty well!

Lil' Angel enjoying her free yogurt sample!

Lil' Yue En enjoys looking at what cheeky Lil' Angel is doing!

Garlic and Cheese Bread...not bad!

Mommy ordered the pretty yummy Mushroom & Cheese Quesadilla...

Lil' Angel saw the fries on Aunty Eunice's plate and happily helped herself to the fries! Lil' Yue En was eyeing the fries too...and naughty Lil' Angel tried to tempt her!

See...similar curls! Lil' Angel's hair is much longer cos she's a year older. No doubt that we are cuzzies!

Picture with Eunice Yi Yi...

*Hugz!*

After the yummy lunch (thank you Eunice Yi Yi for the treat!), we brought the girls to the rooftop playground. Boy...did they have fun running around and mounting all the equipment! Lil' Yue En is a pretty fast runner too!

A short video of Lil' Angel looking out for trains (MRT) below...unaware of Lil' Yue En approaching...(have a good laugh...but I think you will go "OH NOOO!" first...)

The girls having fun on the ice-cream truck ride!

We decided to go back into the mall after awhile as it was about to rain...

We felt greedy, so here we are...eating again!

Kids Loft Lesson Two...

It's lesson two today! As usual, Lil' Angel looks forward to going to school...

Playing with the toys during free time...

Today's story is "Way Down Deep In The Deep Blue Sea". It's about a little boy describing his adventure into the deep blue sea. He plays peekaboo with a hermit crab and fences with a swordfish until he eventually discovers a pirate's treasure chest, but he leaves most of it behind when he meets a shark. Still, he manages to bring a coin back up to his mother, who is waiting for him at the surface. The last page shows all of the animals left behind looking a little less intimidating as they float in the bathtub. The musical writing and beautiful illustrations plus Teacher Lavina's wonderful reading skill were a hit with the tykes! Once again, they were hooked during story time!

The kids were asked to stamp Starfishes during Art&Craft session...one of the sea creatures in the story...

Lil' Angel showing off her dirty hands...

Lil' Angel enjoying the profiteroles during snack time!

The kids were asked to take a pair of sea creatures and they did the actions to the "Peter & Paul" song...lyrics changed slightly...

Lil' Angel got a starfish stamp on her feet!

Toothpaste...

Lil' Angel has been using the Grins & Giggles Toddler Toothpaste since she was ten months old. It did a good job in cleaning her teeth and she loves the toothpaste...but it doesn't mean that she always enjoy brushing her teeth! She prefers eating the toothpaste!

When she knew how to gargle and spit out the water after brushing her teeth, I tried to introduce children's toothpaste to her. I enticed her with The Wiggles toothpaste (she likes The Wiggles) but she didn't like it one bit as it contained a bit of peppermint. She insisted on using her G&G toothpaste. So I sourced around and found the perfect toothpaste for my Lil' Angel...

Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry Toothpaste! It is a Fluoride-Free Toothpaste for Children and it uses calcium and silica to gently clean. It contains no artificial sparkles and bubble gum flavors, only delicious real fruit flavour! Best of all, it contains no Peppermint! Because it's fluoride-free, there's no need to worry about the toothpaste ending up in Lil' Angel's tummy than in the sink!

After using the toothpaste for a few days, Lil' Angel's teeth are even whiter and she is more co-operative when I brush her teeth. She loves the toothpaste!

Our Caterpillars...

So you must be wondering what happened to our caterpillars that we bought from Butterfly Lodge, ya?

We started off with four caterpillars...

Aren't they cute?

The Cocoon...

One of the caterpillars must have been pretty matured as it formed into a cocoon two days later! It was a good thing because the other three caterpillars did not manage to survive! They all died one after another...within five days...*sob*...

The Empty Cocoon!

One week after the caterpillar hibernated in the cocoon, it popped out! Unfortunately, we were not home when it popped. It dropped out onto the paper lining the container and laid there for a few hours before Mommy realised that the butterfly has emerged!

Pretty Butterfly!

Because it was left laying on the paper for a few hours (it couldn't fly as the wings were wet and got stuck onto the paper), one of its wings tore...most likely due to the butterfly struggling to free itself from the paper). Since its wing was torn, our poor butterfly couldn't fly to look for food so it eventually died after two to three days. Sigh...

Lil' Angel was very fascinated with her butterfly! However, she was also pretty sad that her butterfly couldn't fly...

Although we were not successful in rearing the caterpillars (will not rear them again in case they suffer the same fate), Lil' Angel now knows the life cycle of a butterfly!

Lunch At Suki-Ya...

We went to Suki-Ya at Marina Square for lunch today...

Lil' Angel at the entrance of the Restaurant...

We had the lunch buffet hotpot...not too bad!

The thinly sliced pork. The two trays below it contained sliced beef and sliced chicken...

Mommy and I enjoyed our lunch while Daddy found it a bit too healthy for his liking!!

Picture with cute Aunty Ling!

Since Aunty Ling's office is nearby, she popped by to say "Hi" to us! Aunty Angelyn (Mommy's ex-colleague) also came by for awhile but we forgot to take a picture together! Never mind...there's always another time!

Another picture of us!

Lil' Angel & GodMama!

It's kind of spoooooky...I think GodMama & I have telepathic powers! Or you could also say Mommy & GodMama have telepathic powers. First, we bumped into each other at ION...then we realised that GodMama & I are wearing matching outfits!

Lil' Angel was so happy to see GodMama! Check out our dresses...so kawaii!

GodMama & God-Daughter Look Alike! Aren't we preeeeettttty?

Great Grandma's 81st Birthday!

We are feeling terribly gluttony as we went for Baby Titus' First Month High-Tea in the afternoon and now, we are digging into the sumptuous seafood dinner at Long Beach @ Dempsey as it is Great Grandma's 81st Birthday Celebration! It's a Day of Celebrations!

The Yummilicious Chilli Crabs!

This was the only food picture that I took as I was enjoying all the dishes that were served before the crab that I forgot to take pictures of them...the seafood at Long Beach (Dempsey Branch) is yummmy!

Lil' Angel rather have her puree than the yummy food! Guess she was too full from the afternoon's High Tea...

Check out the flower on my head! It was used to decorate one of the dishes! Hmmm...I wonder who was the one who placed it on my head...

The Birthday Great-Grandma! Looking so good and strong at 81!

Happy Birthday Tai Por! Here's wishing you good health and happiness always!

Baby Titus' First Month Party...

It's Baby Titus' First Month Birthday today! Congratulations to Aunty Jane, Uncle Kok Loon and Lil' Kaizer on their Little Bundle of Joy! And thanks to Aunty Jane & Uncle KL for inviting us to join in the Celebration at Zhou's Kitchen!

The happy family with their Newest Addition!

Lil' Claire, Lil' Chrelle & Lil' Angel...

Lil' Angel was happy to meet her friends at the party!

Lil' Angel was happily doodling away while waiting for the food, thanks to Aunty Jane for the gift packs to keep the little tykes entertained!

Lil' Angel looking at the stickers that Lil' Ashrel got...

Asking Lil' Claire to "listen to the sea waves"! She was pretending that the cup was a seashell!

Kids Loft Lesson One...

Finally...after a looooong three-week break, it's back to Kids Loft again for the final term of the year! Lil' Angel has been looking forward to starting class...good thing she has her twice weekly Mandarin classes at Julia Gabriel to tide her over during that period. Then again, she loves her Mandarin classes very much too!

Lil' Angel played with the different puzzles and toys during free play session...

The theme for this term is "Ocean Creatures". The story for today is "Hooray For Fish"...

The story is about a cheerful Little Fish which greets a wide variety of friends. Playful rhymes such as Hello spotty fish, stripy fish, happy fish, gripy fish add to the merriment. Finally, Little Fish meets none other than his own mother with Kiss, kiss, kiss, hooray for fish! The various creatures include fish with numbers for gills and with strange shapes and sizes. The deep blue backgrounds change hue throughout the pages much as the sea changes colors at different depths and climates. As usual...all the kids were so hooked during the story session!

All Hooked!

Art & Craft Time. Teacher Lavina showed the kids how to decorate their fish with stickers...

Lil' Angel peeling off her stickers...

Paste, Paste, Paste...

Lil' Angel concentrating on decorating her fish and showing off her pretty rainbow fish!

They had Gorilla Munch today...

Kindermusik Time. Lil' Shane loves to hug and hold Lil' Angel's hands...Lil' Angel doesn't mind one bit cos she's pretty fond of Lil' Shane too!

Lil' Angel following what Teacher Lavina was asking them to do...

Enjoying herself during Kindermusik Time...

Instead of getting stamped today, Teacher Lavina drew Lil' Fish (the fish from the story) on the kids' hands today. Boy, was Lil' Angel pleased! She even requested for Bubbles coming out of Lil' Fish's mouth!

Nicole, Natalie, Lil' Angel & Lil' Cherelle...

After class, we went to IMM to meet the cuzzies for lunch at Fish & Co. Lil' Cherelle & Aunty Cynthia joined us too!

After lunch, we went to Daiso. Lil' Angel & Lil' Cherelle tried on lots of X'mas hats and hairbands! I can't believe the X'mas items are out so fast...it's not even November yet!

The two girls decided that sweeping floor is FUN!

Playdate with Lil' Douglas, Lil' Gregory & Baby Jared...

We went to Aunty Suk Mae's place today. It has been almost one-and-a-half years since we last met! The last time we saw each other was in New York when they were holidaying there...and there were only Douglas & Gregory Gor Gors. Now, there's a new addition to the family...super cute Baby Jared!

Here's Baby Jared...all of SIX Months old! Such a cute & handsome boy!

And a major breakthrough...Lil' Angel couldn't care less when I carried Baby Jared! You know how she would normally be so jealous when I carry babies...today, she was perfectly fine with it! Maybe cos she was so happy playing with her favourite Gor Gors!

Lil' Gregory, Lil' Angel & Lil' Douglas...

It's strange...Lil' Angel hasn't seen them for a long time but she immediately clicked with them! The last time when I brought her over to their place when she was barely nine months...she already loved them. I guess it's...Affinity? She was so reluctant to leave when I told her it was time for school...she kept telling me she likes to play with them...especially "the Big Gor Gor"! He is ranked highly on her list of favourite friends!

Adeline Yi Yi's Birthday...

It's Adeline Yi Yi's birthday today...and we were invited to her Birthday Dinner at MOF @ Marina Square! Happy Birthday Yi Yi!

The Birthday Yi Yi on the right and my other Yi Yi - Jocelyn Yi Yi on the left...

Waiting for our food...

That's Lil' Angel's dinner in the cute bear bowl...

Opening to see what's in store for her!

She liked the cod and wasn't very keen on the fried items! Surprise, Surprise!

Dessert coming right up...and she was all perked up!

The Three Cuzzies!

The bear wants to have some ice-cream too!

Mommy's red bean soup (super sweet!) with mochi balls..

Cake Cutting Time!

Have a Happy Birthday Yi Yi and may your wishes come true!

Lunch With The Mommies...

Aunty Kelley and Mommy have been trying to meet up for the longest time! We finally met today since Aunty Kelley is on leave. We asked Aunty Cynthia and Aunty Jane along since they live pretty nearby. We went to Vivo City for lunch & shopping...

After walking around for awhile, we settled on Sushi Teh for lunch...

Lil' Cherelle, Aunty Cynthia & Us...

Baby Titus & Aunty Jane...

Lil' Ashlyn & Aunty Kelley!

Bottle Tree Park...

This morning, we went to the Beach Road Prawn Noodles shop at East Coast Road for breakfast with the clan as Grandaunt Ngoh & Caroline Gou Gou will be flying back to Hong Kong in the evening. After the meal, we didn't have anything else to do so we decided to drive to Bottle Tree Park...

Lil' Angel looking at the little fishes swimming in the pond and the children catching the fishes...

A little frowny cos it was so sunny and hot!

Walking to a more shady area...

What did Lil' Angel spot?

Big Prawns! A lucky lady caught them!

Wow...one of the kids caught so many fishes!

Lil' Angel was very happy when she saw her two favourite cousins who came to join us!

Lil' Angel & Natalie Jie Jie...

Gong Gong asked Lil' Angel to touch the prawn...

Lil' Angel & Mommy!

Happy Lil' Angel running around...

Nice breeze!

We didn't stay very long at the Park as it was so hot. We drove to the nearby Butterfly Lodge as we wanted to rear some caterpillars...

Our Hungry Caterpillars!

Happy Deepavali!

Chirp, Chirp...chirped the pretty chicks in the cage!

We went to the airport for lunch today. Thereafter, we took the skytrain as Lil' Angel likes taking it. Walked around the airport for awhile and we came across this "Swing in the Cage" decoration for Deepavali. Quite cute...so we stopped to take a picture with it!
