Mommy's little helper

Since we do not have any domestic help, my mama says I have to help in the household chores.


See, I have to carry my own diaper from the bedroom to the kitchen dustbin.



Water the plants.




I even have to do the laundry.



Me putting the socks into the socks box.


Sometimes I mop the floor and clean the tables too. I am only short of doing the ironing and cooking, then I can become a full-fledge maid.

My mama's a slave driver!

Somebody rescue this princess, please????!!!!!

Red furry friend

This is one of Tricia's favourite (which explains the giam chye-ness) books.

However, we can never finish reading the whole book to her in one sitting.
We always get stuck at this page.

"Elmo and I play........" once the magic word is read.......the little munchkin will get up and go look for her stuffed friend! Hug him, kiss him, and then settle down again for the continuation of the story.

And if you decide not to continue with the story, turn to the previous page and read on.......deja vu. Even though it was just 10 secs ago, she'll still go and look for Elmo again! It's like those play-back movie scenes!

Quite hilarious!

Cheap thrill, mommy !!!!

While you were away

Hi Na Na and Ye Ye! How's everyone at SZ? Hope you're all having fun!

I have supervised and ensured that your errands are run. Pa Pa has dropped off the cheque at the Std Cht Bank and also bought your 16 July New Paper. Anything else you need me him to do?

I have a confession to make..... we've kidnapped a few items from Serenade.







and........





But I've since released Uncle Esmond because I understand that he has to feed the fishes and water the indoor plants.

Miss you all, come back soon!

A Baby Quote a Day

......will keep pregnancy away!

New parents are full of stories about baby parenting. We can go into lurid details on everything related to our lives as parents. Then, as if that is not enough, we start describing the birthing process in graphic detail.

We just can't stop talking about the baby. Small as it is, it dominates every conversation that we new parents might have. That's how a baby can change your life.

If the very thought of having a baby gives you cold feet, you will love the baby quotes below.

Leo J. Burke
People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.

Douglas Feaver
I can't think why mothers love them. All babies do is leak at both ends.

Kin Hubbard
The worst feature of a new baby is its mother's singing.

Elizabeth Stone
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

Mark Twain
Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.

Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams
It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Joelle is 1 M O

Happy 1 month old, Joelle! Sorry we are not there to join in the celebration, hope you like the pressies!

Here, Tricia jie jie give you a big big kiss!

I lend you Na Na and Ye Ye for 3 weeks, you take good care of them ok?
On the other hand, why don't you just come back to Singapore? Then we can share share!

XXOO

Ah Pak says we look alike in these 2 pics. What do you readers think? Can you guess who's who?

Videos

From the number of encores I had last Sat (thanks Timon kor kor for the balloon!) for the gatsby gig, I guess my video can be viewed afterall! So I'm uploading more here.

I hear that Joelle 妹妹 is not into bathing. Ah pak, maybe she'll be inspired by my vidoes??!!

Err....am I supposed to drink the water?




The dunk! Papa's preparing me for my baptism in August!

Sofitel Palm Resort

This is a long overdue post. Sorry, I was busy sprouting teeth and being cranky!

The JB church outing was a success. Hallelujah! We went shopping, had praise and sharing sessions, played games, had a bowling competition and ate and ate and ate!

I love the big hotel room. I love the corners that I squeezed myself into. I love the table which I hid under. I love the cabinets whose doors I kept opening. And not forgetting the big king size bed which I fell from (I've got a big bruise on my left cheek as proof). I espeically love the toilet which I'll run to whenever there's a chance.

I had many firsts during the trip.

My first coach ride. Thank goodness it was a short one.




My first swim in a real pool.

We started from the baby pool. The first dip was a little scary, I hung on tightly to my pa pa. Then we proceed to the adult pool. After some coo-ings and encouragements from my friends, I began splashing like a pro. And when ma ma said "enough, time to go back", I refused to leave! I think it's a conspiracy, they always make you stop when you're having fun! My purple lips and wrinkled fingers didn't help me either.

My first tastes of many grown up food. Mama brought food jars for my lunch and instant porridge for dinner....BUT......I dun really like the baby food and the instant porridge wasn't that instant! So in the end, I ate mostly whatever they ate! Hee hee, Ma ma even ta bao some porridge during the breakfast buffet for my lunch!

I had a fun time during the trip. Many uncles, aunties, kor kors and jie jies carried me. But my ma ma and pa pa said they were so tired from looking after me that they needed another break to recuperate from the trip!

The theme for this year's trip is I'LL OBEY.

The greatest commandment is to love God by keeping His commandments. Matthew 22:36-38 says, "'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?' Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.'"

Jesus loves us very much and wants us to believe in Him. He wants us to come up higher and Be "like" Him (which incidentally was our theme last year!). When we are being obedient to God, we are doing just that: knowing Him, loving Him, and having a personal, intimate relationship with Him. To do this, we must be attentive to God's laws. This is not an option, because you can't have an intimate relationship with Jesus and trample on the words He taught. Obedience to God is living God's Word because you want to and enjoy being filled with the love of Jesus.

We must believe in Jesus, we must have faith in Him, and we must trust Him! Calling ourselves a Christian on its own wouldn't do. Following the commandments step wise wouldn't do. Reading the Bible diligently wouldn't do. We have to take the Word into our hearts. When we have a deep personal and intimate relationship with the Lord, then we can have the highest of joys, the deepest of peace, and receive the fullest measure of God's love and power each and every day of our lives.

"If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching." John 14:23-24

No transmission

Don't know why, the video posted yesterday can't be seen now. I could still play it yesterday. Ah well, looks like there'll be no more video updates for the moment until I figure out another alternative to Youtube.

You know the Gatsby Moving Rubber ad? Well, there's a actually a longer version but the Papa Censorship Board has banned it, so, enjoy the short version.
