Our new toy!

Daddy bought a new toy yesterday. Maybe this will motivate me to kickstart my exercise regime. Hee.

Tantrum

Look at little Lynette throwing a tantrum. She would 'throw' herself on the floor and stay there till someone goes and 'sayang' her.

Another tantrum and this time, it is in the kitchen.

and Jaden decided to join Lynette too... Tsk..tsk..

Blogging on the go!!!

Let see if this works. If it does, I can blog while on the way to and from work. Definitely much better use of time now!

That's the way I like it.

See the non-matching socks. Lynette insisted that she must wear both designs... at the same time! How vain :P

And, Lynette offered to help carry the plastic bag. And she refused to budge until we gave her the bag. Look at the little 'auntie'.

Balls and more balls

Love these two pics.


We were at Amazonia, an indoor playground at Great World City. It's quite nice but I think the entry price is a little steep, compared to other similar playgrounds. Kids below 3 is $20 per 2 hours and $30 for kids aged 3-12 years.

Hmm.. will I bringing the kids there again? Maybe not... cos' I feel there are other places that offer similar facilities at much lower prices :)

Two in tow

Yeah... finally, both of them can walk on their own now!

Is this the sign for less tiring days ahead for us or more running around instead? I think it is the latter... But it is nice to see them play together when both are in good mood and high spirits.

Bonding over bowling...

...paints...

...and in a ball pool.

Catch-up II

Ha.. have been busy catching up on TV shows recently. Ever since, I got the Hubstation, I have rediscovered the 'beauty' of recording :) I can record all the shows I want and then watch it after the kids are asleep. Usually, I wouldn't be watching TV after they are asleep cos' usually there aren't any good programmes on at that time.

But now that I'm recording the shows, I can watch it any time I want and that also means I'm have lesser time to blog nowadays :P Not a good sign cos' I really want to keep up the blog to document Jaden and Lynette's progress. Now that I have finished a couple of shows and the new drama seasons haven't started yet, I'll try to catch up on some posts soon :)

'Ransack'

This is what Lynette has been up to recently. Nothing escapes her small nifty hands.

Lynette's hospital stay

Sigh, Lynette was hospitalised for bronchiolitis the week before (14-17 June). She was breathless due to her wheezing and so the KK A&E doctor advised that she be warded for treatment and observation.

This was considered her 2nd wheeze as she had her first wheeze when she was just two months old. At that time, she was easier to manage cos' she couldn't really 'put up a fight'. But this time round, she would cry every time the nurse administered the puff for her. And, mind you, she is a strong girl. Two nurses have to hold her down!

Furthermore, we were cracking our brains to come up with ways to entertain her. Definitely not an easy feat.


She was discharged after three days and we are glad she is back to her cheerful, jovial self :)

Art

Carefully crafted by art master, Jaden Tang. Ahem...sold for 2 packets of instant noodles, a pack of rice and 1 bottle of shower gel.

Jaden's childcare centre has a charity drive recently and all kids will make a art piece to raise grocery items for needy families. Here's Jaden's art piece. Looks quite artistic, right?

Pictures

I'm into collages now. So look out for more in the new few postings!

Happy 1st Birthday!

As promised, here are Lynette's Birthday party pictures...

Unfortunately, Lynette was a little 'stingy' with her smiles that day.

Happy Birthday!

Catch-up

Sigh...I'm so far behind in my blog posts... Time to catch-up now.

Party Accomplished!

Have been super busy for the past week but yes, we still managed to celebrate Lynette's birthday last weekend. At first, we were thinking that we may have a to hold a belated birthday celebration in May. Thankfully, we were able to make the necessary arrangements and pull everything together with just a week's notice :) However, I have to add that we were able to do that, partially because I have been diligently 'researching' on party ideas months ago. Yes, I'm the kiasu Singaporean :P

Will only be posting some of the party pictures up later on cos' I'm too tired to sift through the pictures now...

Limbo

Sigh, Lynette's birthday plans are still in limbo :( I have more or less decided on the venue but alas, I can't make any booking yet cos' we haven't decided on the party date. And the reason we can't decide on a party date yet is because we are waiting for a particular date to be confirmed.

Sigh sigh...I'm so late in my preparations already...

Swollen eye

Lynette had a swollen eye last week. It seemed like she had put on eye shadow. Hee.

Look at her 大小眼!

Sick

Viral fever attack...

Late

Sigh, I'm so late in my preparations this time round. Yes, I have not done a thing for Lynette's one-year old birthday party and it is about 65 days away. I have been busy lately and will continue to be busy till end March. That will effectively left me with about 3 weeks to plan.

By right, I should have confirmed the party date and the venue by now. But, alas, we are still procrastinating on when we want to hold the party so that it wouldn't clash with a particular event and yet we have no idea when that event will be held :(

Can you imagine I booked Jaden's party venue 3 months before his actual party and now, I'm still sourcing for venues. Well, I have shortlisted some but didn't have the time to evaluate, much less make a booking. Arghh... have to try and confirm at least the venue by end of Feb.

Maiden visit

It was Lynette's maiden visit to Marina Barrage and she had her first outdoor water play experience. See how she is enjoying herself.

Cheese!

Thanks!

Auntie Denise, Thank you for sending your Ang Bao to us from Down Under!! Hope to see you soon!

Bicycle

Jaden has started cycling recently. Now, he can cycle quite fast on his mini plastic toy bike. We tried putting him on a more 'sturdy' toy bike (in picture) but we found that it was a little difficult for him to maneuver.

So we felt that it is time to upgrade him to a real bicycle. Ta ta!

Like father, like daughter

Daddy is trying to imitate Lynette.

Family Picture

The picture will be great if Lynette looks at the camera.

Big girl?

Don't you think Lynette doesn't look like a 9 month old in this picture? I thought that she looked like a toddler. Her outfit for 初二.

Hectic and tiring CNY

It was our first CNY with two kids in tow. For the past two years, we found it manageable as there were two of us looking after only Jaden. This year was a different story. We were one to one and it was really chaos at times. We have to plan their bath, meal and nap times. Not forgetting the "essentials" like bottles, milk powder, diapers, handkerchiefs and extra clothings that we need to bring along.

During the visiting, it was difficult to keep Jaden away from the drinks and crackers. We have to stop him from all soft drinks as it will definitely trigger a cough in him. So, that's already a super big task for us. And of course, he ran around and explored the houses, oblivious to some of the dangers like sharp corners, wet floors etc.

Lynette was less of a handful. Just carry her around and she will be more than happy. Ha and it was easy to find people who want to play with her. All thanks to her *megawatt* smile :)

Lynette in her pink flowery dress with a rabbit hair clip.

All set and ready to go.

Only Playhouse Disney...

and the ipad can keep Jaden from running around.

Gong Xi Fa ....

Erm... where is the Cai? Well, that's was what Jaden has been saying when we tried to teach him to say Gong Xi Fa Cai. He would say "Gong Xi Fa" and pause there and it end up that we have to prompt him to say "Cai" every time. So it is really weird that you wish someone wealth and yet the wealth is missing in the greeting :P

Jaden has been saying his "Gong Xi Fa" for the past week and we were about to give up when he suddenly managed to say "Gong Xi Fa Cai" all at once. Ha, just in time for Chinese New Year this week. Phew :)

We wish all a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year!!!

Happy New Year!

Lynette wishes everyone a Happy Hopping Good Year ahead!


Well, some have asked me where is Jaden and why isn't he dressed up like Mei Mei. Well, the simple answer is that it is much easier to 'manipulate' a 9-month old baby than convincing a 3-year old with a mind of his own to do what you want. Not forgetting that his latest catchphrase to everything is "Don't want!" :)
