3 Birthdays and a masterpiece

Yesterday was a busy day.

1) Birthday breakfast with Yeh Yeh.




2) Chloe jie jie's birthday party.

3) Dinner with birthday gal Serena jie jie.

Check out the moves!

And just when we thought she's not artistically inclined, my little Picasso drew this....

(pls don't ask me what it is though!)

Shopping Queen

I love shopping! I get very excited whenever we step into a shopping
centre.

But can someone pls tell me why do my parents always put the items in my
basket back onto the shelves?

I thought Shopping = Buy things?

Auntie Lois.....

pls don't sue me for harrasement!

Arrival of the Whys & How Comes

"Why must brush teeth?"
"How come you fall down?"
"Why you so careless?"
"Why bear bear so dirty?"
"Why?" "Why?" "Why?"

And she will just ask the same question over and over again, even after
you've replied her all the various possibilites.
I think she just enjoy using the question mark and not really seeking for
an answer (at the moment).

Genting 8-10 Sep 08

We went for a quick get-away this week. The little one enjoyed herself very much. The big one didn't like the cold... weak lah! Hee hee!

Happy Birthday Papa!

We celebrated papa's birthday 1 wk earlier cuz he's going on a government sponsored overseas camping trip. He'll be exploring the beautiful and dense forest of (undisclosed location; if I tell you, I'll have to killyou!!!) together with hundreds of men ON his birthday, ha ha!

Mummy and I made this cake. I helped by sleeping and not disturbing her.

Reasoning or 顶嘴?

At 婆婆's house 2 evenings ago, the munchkin was doing her favourite
exercise while waiting for papa to finish his dinner.

Me: Tricia, don't jump on the sofa. Remember last week in Nana's house,
you jumped on the bed and fell onto the floor?

Munchkin: (paused for a while to conjure up a reply) This is not a bed,
this is a sofa.

Should I laugh or should I cry???!!!!!!!

Hello Uncle Yasuhiro, Aunty Rima and Mei jie jie, you should be safetly back in Japan by now.

Hope you had a wonderful stay in Singapore.

Come back soon, じゃまた!

Help wanted

爷爷 took a breather and left the sweeping chores to the 2 rascals.

Delegation (aka big bully small)

I am tired, let me take a rest

My foot needs a good massage.....

Eh, why am I the only one doing all the work?

Joelle, you only swept 1 leaf and rested for 10 minutes!!!!

I better give her some prep talk.......

After the talk.......... that's very good Joelle, keep it up!!!!

An eye for details and the memory of an elephant.

This gal is a born KPO....

She stares at people in the lift, gives them the top to bottom lookover, and shares with them that she's got the same bag, toy etc......

If the neighbour forgets to close the gate, she'll do it for them.

If the neighbour's door is open, she'll peep into the house.

She's always the 1st person to notice papa's haircut, with just 1 glance from a distance, and comments 'nice'.

She notices my new clothes & accessories.

Do not make her a promise that you're not able to keep to.

She'll remember (if it's something she really wants) and keeps bugging you.

If we promise her something that we'll do tomorrow, the minute she wakes up, she'll ask for it.

She remembers where she left her stuff and where you left yours.

She remembers who bought her what.

I hope she holds on to this inquisitiveness and good memory and applies them in her academic life! (And hopefully save me lots of tuition fees!!!!)

Talking about animals........

Church Retreat 8-10 June 2008

This year, it's destination Batam! We've been dangling the ferry ride carrot whenever we want her to keep quiet from her tantrums. Ahh, but now that the trip's over, we have to think of something else! Ha ha!

Korea Trip

We decided to go on a trip to utilise the last of her under 2 airfare privilege! Plus 婆婆 was going to Beijing, so I need to look for an alternative babysitter!

It was 5 degrees Celsius when we arrived. Tricia took to the cold better than us adults (or did I overbundle her?!). Despite nursing a cold and cough from backhome, she enjoyed the outdoors very much.

Being the youngest and cutest in the tour group, she gets treats and attracts lots of attention everywhere she goes.

She slept very well at night cuz she refused to be carried and so walked everywhere with us.

Most of the time she was very cooperative on the bus and self-entertains.

She likes the tour guide a lot, always going "Uncle, talk!" He's the only one who's able to get her to eat, voluntarily!

Wah......so 乖, you might think. NOT! Of course there are plenty of those unstoppable terrible twos tantrums.

She lost 1 kg during this trip, which is 10% of her total body weight. No, we did not starve her. She only takes rice, seaweed and milk. I dread the mealtimes. She refused to sit with us and insist on going outside all the time. We all have to take turns to eat inorder to keep her quiet.

Making her take her medicine is like forcing her to take poison! We have to bribe her with lots of seaweed and junkfood!

Whenever we step onto the bus, she'll insist on taking off her shoes and socks (even though it was still freezing cold), eventhough the next destination was like 5 minutes away. We're always the last to get off the bus cuz we'll need to coax her to put on her socks, shoes and warm clothing.

4 adults vs 1 toddler

Hyperactive toddler wins! It was that tiring!
