3rd Birthday Plans

Hmmm.........we're brewing a 3rd birthday celebration for our boy in his daycare.
.
I've been talking to another mum recently (her little boy is in the same class) as both of us have the intention to have our boys celebrate their birthday together.
.
Will fill in more details once the plans look firm.
.
Brewing brewing.........."birthday conoction".

At 35 Months

Our Toddler, now at 35 months is such a fun child to be with.

.

Besides being much more expressive especially in his speech; has improved so much compared to 8 months ago, we found ourselves communicating better with him nowadays, playtime is so much more fun and interesting!

Being more mature at 35 months today, he has learned to lodge a 'complaint' regardless whether he is being bullied by his peers, reprimanded or canned by Mummy & Daddy for his wrong actions. At times, he would sit at a corner playing his own toys disturbing the adults. Of course at most occasion, this attention-seeking toddler is always looking out for his mum or dad's company.

.

Artistic side of his character started to show in the recent art pieces that he did in the daycare. The teacher and us noticed that he liked to do paint-brush dabbing instead of unorganized painting strokes. He enjoys art and craft lessons more than before as we understand he is engrossed and only moves off after completing his work. This shows that his attentive span has also increased over time.

.

According to his teacher, although he would not exactly sit still during story telling or lesson time, he would still be able to answer most of the questions when being asked. He adapts mobile learning method in this case.

.

In another exactly 30 days, you'll going to turn 3. As promised to you last year, we'll try to do a little birthday celebration for you in your daycare so you will enjoy your little 3rd birthday. At the same time, perhaps we'll get you some interactive toys to keep you very occupied at home!

.

hee hee hee......In Daddy & Mummy's eyes, you're still the very infant we received on 16 Nov 04.

A little catching up on 15 Oct 07

Too many backlogs & things to do in the past few days, for a working & rest deprived mum. Sleep being the priority over the rest of course.

.
A little recap of the small events that happened in the past few days before and after Hari Raya Saturday why not?
.
.
12 Oct 07
.
Moi was involved in a corporate golf event to assist and later make rounds at the green as a photographer. Was glad as that gave an opportunity for brushing up the photography skills.....
.
Sharing some candid pictures that was nicely captured.
.

.

.


.
.
Of course no doubt about it, the day ended with Moi feeling super mentally and physically tired. Tummy really filled up with food - sinful.
.
.
13 Oct 07
.

Chill out and good ole' classmates gather at Ah Bao's abode in Seng Kang. We were all tasked to bring in 1 dish since it was arranged to be a pot-luck session. The initial plan to whip up Beef Rendang got foiled as I was trying to nurse my tiredness from the outdoor event yesterday. Left with no other choice since most Malay stalls are closed for Hari Raya, the ANG Master had to pack a whole chicken from the chinese stall.

.

Wasn't a bad evening as our toddler had enjoyed himself; occupied at the computer with his favourite Thomas the Train online games, the ANG Master had chit chat "kakis", for Moi, an evening of undisturbed cable movies.

.
.
14 Oct 07
.

It was waking late of course, recuperating the body from the previous late night - returned late from Bao's home, put toddler to bed followed by ironing while watching the television until almost 2 plus am?

.
Went for late McDonald's brunch that we promised to toddler and visited our good friend's at Bukit Batok.
.
Settled for dinner near our place and most important of all, groceries spree from Seng Siong to end the Sunday and begin a new week with.
.

Gone Fishing

Our toddler had acquired a new skill this evening - Fishing, that is.

.
(The fishes fighting for the bait)

.

We didn't know he could 'fish' so well as it was barely 10 minutes just after being briefly taught on how to hook up fishes - via the tiny magnets found at the edges of the fishes and the bait!

.

(Here's where you turn to keep your line once you know the fish is tricked)

.
At first, he would watch attentively at all the actions & instructions taught by his daddy, occasionally shifting himself to take a closer look. The toddler is amazed by the magnets, while his mummy sat at a corner, observed & amused by his actions.

.

In barely 10 minutes after taking over the fish rod, here's what he is all up to......

.

(So easy!)
.

and more confident as he fiddle faddle with his new found skills....

.

(I'll catch you!)

.

(Ok, I can consider selling you these fishes in X'change for a bottle of milk)

.

Now, so who wants fishing lessons?

.

The Look of Shoes

It's a pair of brand new shoes that the ANG Mistress brought to the daycare this morning. It was meant to replace that worn out one.

.

However, just take a look at its condition at the end of the same day.

.

(The 1st Day Look)
.

Guess it will join the fate of those earlier sandals, sandals, shoes, whatever...........Master ANG is considering to custom make a special tyre-material shoes for our toddler........so it will last him longer, hopefully.

.

(Heart-pain, gosh!!)

.

;-)

蔷蔷

This song is super sweeeeet.
.
The ANG Master's favourite girl ELLA in the girl group S.H.E. had dedicated this song to her doggie, a pug called- 蔷蔷
.
Through media news, we understand 蔷蔷 died from an allergy when it underwent an operations 2mths ago. After which, Ella recorded this song in memory of her beloved pug and sold as EP in aid of homeless animals. All the proceeds raised from the song/mv/EP/whatever else will go into an animal protection organization.
.

.
The lyrics are super touching (:
.
.
蔷蔷
还记得你喜欢咬著我的手
给我你嘴里的球
要我陪你玩丢丢
你喜欢我摸摸你的小耳朵
窝在我的身旁
没有烦忧
在梦里遨游
好狗狗 好狗狗
谢谢你陪妈咪这么久
你明明要离开我
是搬到天堂生活
.
蔷蔷
.
你要记得我
你不要走丢
快快找到天使
在天堂给我(们)保佑
.

蔷蔷

.

不要忘了我
还有亲爱的阿姨叔叔和你的朋友
你永远活在记忆中
.

.
Watching this mv will definitely make any dog lover out there tear........It's super super super touching ><

Children Oh Mighty!

It's Children's Day!

.

What better thing for a parent to do on this day but to take time off work and spend it with their children!?!

The House of ANG & our dear big sister "Ms Wong" did exactly that. Take Afternoon Leave!!

.

The daycare is operational until 2pm today hence the parents ensured that they arrive at the centre latest by 1.30pm to pick the children. With not much of a plan in mind, the folks decided to bring the children to the Airport via MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) train!

.
(We're taking a 'choo choo' train!?!)
.
After parking the car at a strategic location.....(shhhhh......we're not telling you where cos it's free the entire day!) We proceeded to the MRT (train) station.

.

(The cheekie duo)

.

Not long after boarding the train, the duo promptly fell soundly asleep in their mummies lap. It was supposed to be their usual afternoon nap time and today they were actually overdue for their nap.

.

Errrr.......that also explain why there were not much photography of the duo supposely 'monkeying' on board the train. Hee.......

.

(What is the colour of this fish?)
.

It's about almost 3pm when we reach the airport. Our tummies were rumbling badly as the adults had not eaten any lunch. We finally settled down for Fish & Co at Terminal 2 though. While waiting..........we took a lot of random pictures from our children since it's Children's Day!.......and they were our STAR of the day.

.
(An impatient toddler awaits for his snacks)

.

(This toddler is counting the number of fishes)

.
(The aeroplane flies like this! vroom vroom.......phee phee)

.

So finally, after waiting like almost 30 minutes, our glorious food arrived.......

.

(Whoever bestow food to humans.......Thank you!!)

.

We chomped on our food like we've never eaten for days! That's why we've not taken any pictures since we did not look very elegant.....kekekeke. Oh.....not forgetting, our Toddler got an extra Children's Day 'gift' from The Fish & Co restaurant manager. She served up a scoop of vanilla ice-cream!! Woah......the adults were full of envy.

.

Of course after filling our stomachs, the main attraction.........off to the Viewing Mall........

.

(Woah......Aeroplanes!!!)

.

(Woah......our view from the Mall!!!)

.

We spent like 30 minutes at the Viewing Mall before deciding to call it a day as we do not want to be caught in a Peak traffic condition in the train later.

.

(Happy Happy children)

.

On our way to the train station, we played some games with the children and they really loved it. Everyone can tell that the duo had enjoyed the afternoon.

.

The objective of the day, spending quality time with the children; and

The results, 2 satisfied boys in the making.
