Another show - Disney Princess

Image
Janelle showed great great interest to watch the Disney LIVE! Presents Three Classic Fairy Tales Unfortunately BIL doesnt have any free tix this time, luckily my coy is giving 15% for staffs who is going for this show. Hmmm.... after much consideration (cos I have already purchased "The Very Very hungry Caterpillar" show tix for the kids) I decided to burn my pocket a little bigger and bring Janelle for the show. Yes only Janelle cos it was meant for princess... hahaha.. So we will become caterpillar on 22 Nov and Princess on 23 Nov. Have to get Law to jagar Julian for a while.

Oneh Oneh

Thanks to a forum mummy who gave me this wonderful recipe to make Oneh Oneh. The result is very very good, the skin is not hard and it is still soft and bouncing even when it is cold.

Janelle Class Photo

Image
I was very eager to know the outcome of Janelle class photo cos she wasnt smiling when she took her individual shoot last year. This year I tell her to rbr to put on smile so she will look nice on it. Yes, she smile like a blossom flower but with messy hair. Haizzz... her teacher never bother to help her with the hair before the shot. Liang liao shi was better. There is no doubt that the album is very well-done, even my sister said so. The coverpage are customised to focus on the class only. Infact, Janelle individual photo was very well taken except that she didnt really smile when she took the photo in N1. Have she grown much? Janelle at Pre-Nursery Janelle at Nursery Dun you agree with me that she look so merry in her Nursery photo?? There were part of the Pre-nursery album. These were the Nursery Album, Janelle with her best friend - Faith.

Conversation

BIL, his gf, Law, Janelle and I walked into the lift. Janelle squeezed her way thru, standing beside BIL's gf and held her hand. Mummy: Janelle, what are you doing? Janelle: I want to hold jie jie's hand. ShuShu: How about me? Janelle: How to hold your hand? I have only two hands and one to hold jie jie and one is holding my bag! ShuShu: Wah, she is quite logical hor. She can tell me she only has two hands. GF: Of course lah. What are we expecting from kids?

Well done kids

I think I am lacking behind, lacking time to teach Julian properly. So today I decided I shld do something for him. I prepared the kids for bed, and brot in the shape sorter for Julian. I wanna teach him to identify shapes. Little did I know that Julian actually able to sort all the shapes by himself already. Haiyah ... I must pay more attention to him now I used Janelle old card material and when thru the cards with him, teaching him to pronoun the animals properly. He could recognise some of the animals but we have a good laugh when Julian insisted that the Tiger is Lion and he just wldnt change him mind. Beside that I decided to test Janelle on all the animals but just showing her the words. She did very well, manage to get 98% of the words correct and she is also using the skill that she knew from school and her S&D classes. PHONICS - yes, she always try to make up the words when she sees something she never see before or forgotten how to pronoun. I am very proud of the kid...

I love my iPod Touch

Great thanks to my dearie Law. He got a great Bday gift this time. I simply adore the iPod Touch. It is so cool. I could just placed my Music CD into my notebook and the iTune will collect the song, all well label and syn it into my Touch. But I have problem trying to connect to the Wi-Fi, may be the area I went doesnt have Wi-Fi. Hmm still trying to Wi-Fi and download my gmail and Yahoo mail into my Touch so I can read, reply mails. As it is Apple product, there is alot of conversion to do when I need to convert the movie to a format that my Touch can play. It took a while but it was really worth it. Law ripped the Transformer movie into Apple format and when we view it on my Touch, Cool baby.. it was so clear even to the extend of the sound! Now I can do the samething to other movies so i can watch while I am on the move - I mean when I am travelling on the bus or train or even when I waiting for Janelle during her Speech and Drama class.

Julian Progress

This is something I wun like to update cos I have not being following or teaching Julian much. Comparing to his peers, he is much slower in speech. We have being trying to speak to him and encouraging him to speak up and pronouning words. I must say the progress is slow but we did see improvement from Julian. Sometime he is able to speak very well, something he just babytalk away. As he is still with my MIL, I dun really have time to coach him and I believe that is the same when he is at MIL's place. It is really not easy to cope with two kids. I spent all my times tidy up, tendering to the kids on weekends and when I completed everything I was way way too tired to carry out more educational activities with them. The only things I did with them is to read their bedtime story. One day while asking Julian to clean up this toy, I have a discovery! I asked him to pick up all the shapes from the floor as I planning to keep them, Julian could identify the shape and able to place it corre...

Another Family trip

We have decided to go for another family trip next week. Envy? hee hee... Nothing too far, it is just a drive up to Gentings then KL with the kids. Yes, we are bringing both kids along this time. Law has doubt whether Julian can take the hours sitting in his child seat for long but it is going to be a slow drive up with many stopover to rest and toilet visits so I think we should be able to make it to the top. This time round we book the Clubroom from First World Hotel. It is going to be the bigger room under the hotel. Hopefully it is clean and spacious and 2 Queen size bed so we dun have to squeeze the bed with the 2 kids. As usual a stop over at KL for 2 nights follows. I have booked Swiss Garden Hotel this time since my collicks and vendors have good comment abt this hotel. It comes with free upgrade to their premier room + breakfast for 2 adults. Looking forward to the trip and hope Julian will behave himself this time.

A day at Esplanade

I have being waking up late on weekends. I just couldnt wake up on weekends so that meant I skipped my marketing and use whatevery ingredient I have in my fridge to cook for the children but dun worry, the kids still eat healthily. I have decided to order a pair of crocs each for the kids so I need to bring the kids to the Crocs outlet to try out the size so I can place the order. We took a bus, stop at Suntec and I decided to bring the kids to Esplanade since it was still early. Bring them near to the Singapore river and took some pictures. Both are so photogenic, unless mummy. hahaha.. We head down to Marina Square foodcourt for lunch and then Crocs outlet to try out the size. Janelle need junior 1 and Julian need C10/11...... hoping to get the Crocs so they can wear to childcare. We took some nice photos along the river.

Bday Celebration Part 2

BDS gang organised a dinner gathering to celebrate Vivan and my bday at RSVP restaurant. The food wasnt that nice, not much variety and my appetite wasnt that good that night too. We dine and chatted near 9pm and head down to Party World for another round of KTV session. As I told the gang that I got my "permit" that nite from Law, they fulfilled my wish to sing that nite. I knew some didnt really fancy KTV but cos it was my bday celebration, they accoy me till the end.. This year I really enjoyed my Bday very much. I wanna thanks my hubby, my children, my mum, sisters, nephews, my BDS gang and my collicks.

A simple celebration

Recently I was feeling very down. I seemed to lost my track in life but it was also a time I saw there were many pple ard me who still care. A big thank you to them. On the eve of my bday, I suggested to go to have a swenson ice-cream during lunch cos Karol sent me an email that state buy 1 get 1 free but expiring on 30 Sept. I asked Angeline, Ngee Hwee and a few yippies colleagues to join me, infact the more the merrier. Ending up that they giving me a ice-cream bday treat when they found out my bday was next day and we even late for our program meeting. Luckily boss wasnt crossed with us, still joke that we didnt tabo any back. I didnt expect any celebration on the 1st cos Law needed to be on duty and I thot just spending a normal simple day with the kids but I got a call from Xian a night before to ask if I had anything. Since, no one has anything, I suggested to come over my place for popiah. I called my mum, and Mary. Xian wanted to cook a dish that she had in Taipei for us while ...

My Bday Pressie

Image
Law has being cracking his brain on what to get for my bday. He asked me many times and I have thot abt it and searched for "IT" as well. Thot of getting a branded bag or a fancy fashion ring. Law thot of getting a DSLR for my bday but he found something that he felt I would like to own one. He suggested the gift he has in mind for me, after visiting the showroom and finding out the functionalities. I dun mind owning one and the urge to own one get higher n higher. So once past midnite when the kids have finally slept, we login to internet and place an order for a set. I am the next rightful owner of Generation 2 Apple iPod Touch with special engraving just for me. Waiting eagerly for the delivery of my iPod Touch now. On top of that, Law is paying all the acessories that I am getting to beautify my iPod Touch.
