Our little Guitarist.

National Day 2011!

Happy Bday Singapore! This year as usual, we stayed home to watch the NDP parade. Baby S was busy mimicking the soldiers and parade commander. So we had a little in-house soldier for this year National Day. LOL!




Salute!

Pororo the little Penguin.

Proudly present Pororo air flown from Korea! Many tks to HB's Korean colly who take the trouble to buy and send it to us.




Recently, my son is on a bag craze! Everywhere he goes, anything he does he carry his bag.


Even when he is playing with his toys.

Just an update!

Sorry, I have been neglecting my blog for a longgggggggg time. Actually I ain't very busy, it's just that I don't have the mood to blog.

Recently quite a few people are asking how am I? Im fine, the family is fine and the new job is fine too. Due to the timing of my new work, I get to have more time with my family. I'm also settling down in my new job.

Baby S is doing more than fine and I'm intending to send him to a playgroup since he started walking very well. The reason to send him to school is for him to learn how to socialise and get use to school life before he starts his pre-school life.

Alright I'll try to blog more often.

Chin up!

Have a good laugh!

Durians at Goodwood Park Hotel.

Finally my throat is ready for durains!! Since we were in town, we decided go Goodwood Park Hotel for durains. Guess I need not say how good their durain pastries are, their simply too famous for it!

Yummy Yummy durain pastries!


Baby S's first taste of durian and he subsequently fall in love with it.




Having some fun with IPHONE camera.

Of Walking!

Baby S is a late walker. His motor & speech development have alway been faster than average benchmark. Hence his late walking send me into a paranoid mood. Luckily yesterday he stood up by himself and took 3 steady steps w/o anyone asking/encouraging him. This paranoid mummy is now not so paranoid.

We try to practise walking with him every evening so that he will find more confidence and encouragement to start walking on his own.

Children's friendly bus seat.

Some new SBS buses have this "Adult and child" seat located right behind the driver's seat. I personally find that this seat is very beneficiary to parents like us who often take buses with our child. Both the adult and child will have a comfortable space instead of just squeezing in 1 seat.

Unfortunately the daily bus that I take from the nanny's place back home does not have this facility. I hope SMRT can consider such type of seat to be implemented in their fleet of buses. There was once someone commented that I took up 2 seats in the bus and I was not being civic minded. Baby S is being carried by me, so most of the time we take up 1 seat. My son is growing up day by day and sometimes he just want to have a little space to stand. Together with my handbag, that day we just happened to occupy slightly a bit more than 1 seat. Oh well, I always try my best to just occupy 1 seat and most of the time like I mentioned we only take up 1 seat.

With this "Adult and child" seat, I guess parents with children will be able to enjoy the bus ride better and escape those critics which I find is pretty not understanding. I seriously hope SMRT can take in consideration of implementing this "Adult and child" seat.

Lentils

I had been searching high and low for lentils and finally found it at NTUC Finest. Lentils make good children's food as it's high in protein, fiber, folate and vitamin B. Do check out more information on lentils.

Happy Father's Day 2011

I did a Father's Day card(endorsed with our son's hand print) for Hubby.


We decided to head to Vivo and dine at Marche.

My boys before leaving the house.






Baby S and HB at the water play area.


Baby S playing happily with 1 of the car at ToysRus. He is too young for this car as you can see he was not sitting on the car seat. We'll get him 1 when he is older and bigger.


Tks to a penguin Daddy whom:
-Provides for the family.
-Wakes up for night feed 2-3 times a night.
-Help out with housework chores.
-Bath the son.
-Spend time with the son.
-Able to provide practical care for the son.

We are so proud to have a penguin Daddy at home who not only provides breads but also truck loads of cares & loves for the family .

Happy Father's Day to HB & all deserving Fathers!

Happy Feet

I refuse!

I found 1 bruise each on both Baby S's knee cap. I know there is a knee protector selling in the market and it's very affordable. But I simply refuse to get it! Baby S ain't complaining a single bit on the bruise and he is still crawling like usual. I just don't see the need to get it. The bruise are got better after I applied some lotion on it.

Some people might think I'm heartless or etc.... But hey, if we don't train our kids to be tough, can u imagine what is going to happen to him/her when he/she steps into the society. When they are require to be tough and the toughest survive!

When my boy turn 18, he needs to enlist for army training. I don't want him to be another guy who asked his maid to carry his army bag.

Of Singing & Dancing.

I can't exactly remember when did Baby S started singing, but I know he started it VERY young. I vividly remember he could only sing "Ahh~Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah" and he can go on and on. Being young he doesnt really knows how to control his voice, so most of the times his unbearable "Ahh~Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah" singing will gain us stares from the public.

Over time, his singing has improve so much that now he sings with the correct tune. Just a couple of weeks ago, I heard him humming away. I must say he hum better than some adults.

Now he can even dance and sing together!!! SO PROUD OF MY SON!!!


He will show 2 thumbs up at the end of the video & the background music is actually Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Hotdog song.

Male characteristics

Baby S is starting to show his male characteristics.
1. Loves balls.
2. Loves cars.
3. Sometimes, prefer to be left alone.
4. Today, he insisted to go topless.

Royce Kids Gym.

Royce Kids Gym is located at Liang Court #02-20/21. I chance upon this gym when I had my company CNY dinner. It's so happened that Hubby needs to go to Liang Court to do an event coverage, so I decided to might as well let Baby S went in and have some fun.

Overall I find the place lack of a focus and there are too many toys. I will find it better if they could have focus more on the gym facilities.



This was his favourite place in they gym.




Baby S wanted to go for the Mickey Mouse but he didn't dare to crawl on the carpet. We decided to let him solved this issue by himself. Baby S is smart enough to remove the boxes(highlighted in red) and finally reached his goal.


Not forgetting to give Mickey Mouse a kiss.


Trying very hard!!


Everywhere he went, he held on to a ball.

Poor fellow, deserted in the show and reality.


Very courageous boy. He went thru the dark tunnel and insisted on the 2 balls.


This is what I meant by TOO MUCH toys. Children simply can't focus on a single toy.


Hubby insisted on this shot.

His First Buggy Ride.

His little chair.

We have been wanting to get him a chair so that he will not always need to sit on the floor. Last weekend we headed to IKEA and went home empty handed. We actually spotted 2 little chair but it's simply not worthwhile to spend $60++ and $100 for just a chair that they will out grown.

I found this chair at my neighbourhood's hardware shop. It only cost me $8.90 and it will let out a loud beep if it's well sitted.




Forever so cheeky.

We went to the Zoo Zoo Zoo - Part 2

Lets continue with the photos.....

When I was young, I love this station the most. I recalled that there was an area explaining about the process of hatching of chicks. Rabbits and hamsters were also displayed and the best thing was they can be carried and cuddled.


We then proceed to the highlight of the day, the water area.


He cried when he realised that Mommy is not joining him.






After having some fun with the water, we proceeded to the animal's show.




The cheeky, hardcore fan of the show! LOL!


Can u spot a lady covering her mouth in the picture? I guess many are like her, surprised that we allowed our child to touch such a big dog. Some pple even think we are lunatics to allow our baby to play with our dog. Unfortunately we are not the "social norm" parents and I believe that if 1 do not even know how to show kindness to animals who are believed to be lesser beings than us, how can he/she be kind to their fellow beings.


This is the place where we had our lunch, as usual everything is overprice.


My mummy says I can't suck my fingers and thumb, so I suck my toes.

We went to the Zoo Zoo Zoo - Part 1

On Baby S actual Bday, we went to the Zoo!!! Singapore Zoo has definitely change a lot since I last visited donkey years ago. We had fun though it can be quite tiring.

I shall let the pictures say a thousand words.







Baby S was very busy with his fan. Kids really do not need expensive toys.




He just woke up from his afternoon nap, haahaa.




Feeding the picky goat.






Baby S had lots of fun feeding the goat.
