Ride

Last Friday, we went to watch Cats and Dogs with the Lees at Downtown East. Mei mei sat on Uncle Leon's lap and ate popcorn for quite some time while watching the movie. We asked her to come over to us but she refused. So next time we should go and watch movie with the Lees (free babysit service for a while). Ha!
After the movie, we went for lunch and took kiddie ride. Wanted to try out the ice bumper car but the queue was too long, so we went to try out 4D snow roller coaster instead. The trill factor was supposed to be level 10 but besides being bumpy, I did not find it trilling. My timid Clarence told me he cried a little initially but he said he wanted to take the ride again after we came down.

Neat and tidy

Whenever mummy is on holiday, mummy will tie up meimei's hair neatly before sending her up the bus to school.


However, most of the time she will just go to school with no clip and her hair untied, cos daddy claims he does not know how to tie and he has no time to do so in the morning. (Rushing every morning to cook porridge for meimei and send the kids)

A "nua" getaway

We went for a 2 day 1 night stay at Crowne Plaza Hotel (Changi Airport) last weekend. It was meant to be a do nothing, just "nua" holiday.
Setting out in the afternoon:

The strong daddy pulling the kids:

In the hotel room, meimei was busy drawing and gor gor was busy watching the TV.

The nice toilet:

One thing I like about the toilet is it's open concept, the blind can be drawn up or down according to your preference.

Good in a way for us when they are playing in the bathtub, we can sit on the sofa and watch them, instead of staying in the toilet with them.

Another special feature of the room is we can see the runway from our room. We can see the planes taxi on the runway.

Forgetful mummy forgot to bring gor gor's trunks and we could not get a pair for him in the shops at the Airport so daddy drove back home to get the trunks.

We went shopping while waiting for him and took some pictures at the hotel lobby.

Back in the room, meimei could not wait to get into the pool. I told her to change later but the "gan choing" gal started putting on her swimming pantie.

Problem is, she got it all wrong. First, she put on the pantie without taking off the diaper.

And after putting on the pantie, she then went to put on her swim diaper, all in the wrong sequence!

After mummy changed her, we got gor gor to take a photo for us.

At the pool:

Daddy playing with Vincy:

Vincy enjoyed herself so much that she refused to come out of the water. Whenever my dear took her out, she would jump in again.

After swimming, we went for dinner in T3. Then we went to redeem our free kiddie ride in the B2 carpark. Meimei was so scared of the rides. She did not want to take and would cover her eyes when she saw the big cars coming. So funny!

Vincy surprised us that day. When I went to toilet with gor gor, she said pee pee to me so I brought her in as well and just let her try. She really pee pee!
As usual, Clarence complained about the holiday being too short.

Games

Clarence has been with the new coach, coach David for about 2 mths. We see improvements in his breast stroke and freestyle. Last time whenever he is swimming freestyle, it looks like he is drowning in the water, now it is no longer so.
They had games yesterday.
My honest boy was wondering who pushed him into the water and was lost for a while. Ha!



Round 2:

Rare to see my boy so competitive, Auntie Janet asked if I gave him steroids that day. I was surprised by his competitiveness too.
Round 3: Clarence cheated, he jumped into the pool before his teammates touched his hands.

Round 4: Walking in the water

She is ready

Meimei started sleeping on Gor gor's bed since Wednesday night. On Wednesday night, after saying goodnight. She came out twice looking for me.
On Thursday night, she did not come out at all.
Friday afternoon, she took her nap in Gor gor's room too.
Friday night, she slept with gor gor too.

I think she is ready to sleep in another room.
Problem is: where to put her super single mattress in gor gor's room?

Rainy Wednesday

Mummy booked a slot for Clarence to go Forest Adventure on Wed. While I was driving, it started to rain. When we reached our destination, I received a call from the person in charge informing me the weather was bad and the slot has to be cancelled. Both of us were disappointed. Clarence was disappointed not because he could not go but because he will not get a present from Daddy (bonus for going) if he did not try.
So we went to the mall for his haircut. After that, mummy went foot reflexology and Clarence did his assessment books there while waiting for me.

A Decade

Today is our 10th year wedding anniversary. We have been married for a decade. Wow! I was very touched the other day when I received an sms from my dear. (sms content too mushy to disclose) We have been through a lot for so many years and I want to thank my dear for all his love and tolerance towards me. I am stubborn and has a quick temper and ...... but he accepts me for who I am and he is always the one to apologise first even though sometimes it is not his fault. Thanks my dear! 愿能： 执子之手，与子偕老

 

She can jump

Newly acquired skill: jumping (with both legs off the ground)

Feeding

As Dubery has not been to Kids Kampong before, we brought all of them there and met up with the Lees.
As usual, Clarence was very happy feeding and touching the fish there.
Big improvement for Vincy, she dared to touch the fish on that day.

Fed the rabbits:

Army

Dubery came to stay over and brought along a present from Guozhong shu shu for Clarence.
An army cap from camp!
The 2 potential recruits:

7,8, 9,10?

Recorded a video of Vincy counting. She can count from 1 to 6. What happen to 7, 8, 9 and 10?

She is slower in terms of speech as compared to her gor gor but we are not worried. Just let her grow at her own pace.
