Scottish Air

Clarence was practicing his piano the other day when I walked pass, took a glance and told him the song he was playing was "Scottish Air". I told him it was a Scottish song, similar to Meimei's concert dance song.
Clarence immediately asked his meimei to dance along while he played that song. And meimei happily swayed to the tune. So cute!

Clarence's graduation concert

We went to Clarence's graduation concert on Sunday.
Think I am suffering from an overdose of performances over the weekend.
Vincy waiting for the concert to start:

(Can hear Vincy shouting for her gor gor in the background)



The dance: Kali Lo Tama



The concert this year was a bit disappointing, performances so so only and K2 parents were not given priority seats. A lot of the K2 parents were seated at the back, poor planning from MMI!

Tough job getting the 6 kids to pose for picture.



All the meimeis

Our happy family:


My son is going to Primary 1 soon! So exciting and worrying.

Vincy's scottish dance

We went to PLMGS to support Vincy for her first concert. Her first time on stage.



The video was short because she just stone there for the whole song without moving. She was like super "buay song" throughout. She remained motionless except playing with her tongue on stage.
During the finale, Daddy went up to take pictures of her and her first reaction was as below:

Daddy immediately moved away. Guess she was traumatised. My poor gal!
The Tay family:
We wanted to go home initially but when I asked Vincy whether she want go out and eat or go home. She wanted to go out and eat. So we went for supper with the Chuas. My happy gal after we picked her up.
She danced for me in the lift on our way back.

Pedicure

Mummy decided to go for a pedicure today. As it was too last minute, I only managed to get an appointment at 5pm. So I brought along my kids, both Clarence and Vincy to do the pedicure. This was the first time I brought the 2 of them there. Gor gor went with me once so he was experienced and told me it was a long wait the other time.
Meimei was the 问题少女. She was so curious. She asked so many questions when she was there. Why do this and why do that......


Kept them entertained with the ipad.

But Vincy started asking for milk towards the end and became very cranky. Fortunately, the manicurist took out some biscuits and the biscuits did the job to pacify her while my nails were being blown dry. I did not blame her for being so cranky because she waited for me for 1 hr 40 mins. Wonder if she will still go with me next time?

Preview

Clarence brought his concert costume back yesterday. White top and bottom with a yellowish-golden bling bling vest. According to him, the dance is an Ethiopia dance.

Short demonstration:



Mummy is looking forward to his and Vincy's concert. This will be a busy weekend for us. Vincy's concert is on Sat, Clarence's on Sunday.

Thanks

We must all say thanks to my dear, he bought an ipad for us to play. The kids were so happy with it, fighting to play with the apps.
Vincy's favourites: Tom the talking cat and Monkey Preschool. She will say,"I know play monkey." and she always looks at the expression of the monkey to see if the monkey is happy or not when she does the activities. She will sing and clap along when I play the alphabet song on the ipad.

Clarence's favourites: watching movie with the ipad in the car and playing games. His favourite games: angry bird and cooking mama.

Qi Hang's Birthday Party

We went to Qi Hang's birthday party at Little O'Zone in Orchid Country Club yesterday. This will probably be the last gathering for Clarence and his schoolmates before they go to their respective primary school next year.

i lights again

As promised, we brought the kids to see i lights again before they remove them. We parked at One Fullerton this time.
The Living Project:
The whole thing is made up of recycled plastic cups and low energy led lights.

My Public Garden:

Fire Flies:

Positive Attracts:

Since there were only 2 more lights left, my dear started turning back to get the car to pick us up so that we need not walk all the way back.

Lumenocity Singapore:

A Blue Mirage in the City of Lights:

The picture of me and meimei was taken by Clarence and he was proud of it cos he said he manage to capture the lights when it flashed.
We walked back to the main road and Vincy ate her biscuit while waiting for my dear to drive the car and pick us.

I did not realise but we actually walked for an hour to see all the lights yesterday.

While waiting

Normally I will drop Clarence at his piano teacher's place, then go to Vincy's school to pick her up and return to pick Clarence. Now that Clarence's piano lesson has been extended to 45mins, I have to entertain meimei for 15 mins while waiting for Clarence to finish. So we went to the playground. Daring Vincy climbed up the stairs and went down the slide. I was a bit frightened for her when she attempted the climb for the first time but she was rather steady so I relaxed and took a video of her.

Clarence was jealous when he realised meimei can play in the playground so I promised to bring him there too.

Seeking attention?

This gal complained about a pain in her right foot on Sunday. She said,"My feet very painful"and "I don't know walk" for the whole afternoon. We checked her right foot but could neither find any bruises nor any signs of swelling. After her nap, she complained about the pain again. She refused to walk and mummy and gor gor carried her from place to place at home. She would resort to kneeling down like this and move around the house on her knees.

I was worried and thought of taking child care leave to bring her to the doctor for X-ray on Monday. Later in the afternoon, we brought her along to Clarence's Skating Halloween Party and I told her to sit on the mat and rest. After we arrived at the park shortly, she was up and running all round. She could even jump and climb and hang herself like a monkey on the bar. Her right feet miraculously recovered.
However, after we reached home and showered her, she complained about the pain again and knelt on the floor to get me to carry her to bed.
When I went to her childcare yesterday, I spoke to one of the teacher and realised Vincy did the same thing in school twice a week ago. Is she trying to seek attention? Asking people to carry her around or is there really something wrong with her foot?

Halloween Party on Skates

We set off to East Coast Park for the Halloween Party. When we reached the carpark, the coaches were all ready. Daddy quickly painted Clarence's face. This time, daddy drew a huge red mouth for Clarence and he was the Joker.

Clarence with Dylan and coach Joshua. Dylan was the devil.
My son had mixed up identity, Joker with Dracula teeth!

More pictures:

I like the 2 girls costume, thought it was rather innovative. 100% home-made. Huge T-shirt with blood and the weapon poking out!

All the children did a self introduction of the characters they were dressed in. Clarence's intro:

After the intro, they skated to Road Safety Park. My dear skated with them to the park and took over the camera man role.

They played games in the park. After the games session, they were each given a bag and they were asked to fill their bags with tidbits. So Clarence came back happily with his bag of goodies.

Mummy stayed with Vincy while waiting for the boys to come back.

Vincy was happy to have Kayley's company. They drew, ate tidbits and ran around.

Uncle Arthur set up a hammock and the gals had fun inside.

Rocking inside the hammock:



The Halloween Party was great fun!
