Mothers' Day~

I recieved my 1st ever Mothers' Day gift. Butter cookies from my pumpkin!

It was actually done by her teachers in CC. But she did assist by cutting the shapes. Well, applaud for the efffort~

P.S I only ate 1-2 pieces. She finish the rest herself.....

We celebrated Mother in law's birthday cum Mother day together. We had lunch at Oasis taiwanese porridge at TPY. My all time fav restaurant for nice lovely cockles! hah!

The Ks had loads of fun with Vince n Celia, father and mother.

When I turn....beep beep 1...

As I get older..the need for a great bday bash is not in my wish list anymore. All I want is a contented dinner with my loved ones, a nice gathering n chilled out.

This yr, my bday fall in the period of the GE campaign. I wanted to watch the rally of WP at the Serangoon stadium. But the crowd was horrendous! Me and Cavis wasted a good 1 hr in the jam n decided to forgo it. We drove past the stadium though. It was like National day in Serangoon. Haha. We met up with rie shorly after and went to Bark cafe for a nice alfresco dinner.

After the dinner, we chilled out at my place n count down to my day with  lovely cupcakes from Sis Cavis, made lovingly from Patissier. It really looks too nice to eat. Too pretty!

 A lovely Chanel shades from Sis and a Chanel timeless classic bag from Rie..Total bliss out. ..

Can you see mini me? lol

The sisters gave me a very nice birthday gift. I.e a 2d1n stay in Batam with all expenses paid! So off to Batam we went on my actual Bday. We went for shopping, spa n seafood. Not forgetting Rie hit 1st prize at 4D, wat a lovely way to end the perfect weekend!

Only dismay was I did nt spend it with my children. But nt to worry..there will be many more loving memories to come....

Shirley's Batam fren who brought us around ..Great hospitality!

Note : This year G.E ended up with oppositions taking 6 seats, WP winning Hougang and Aljunied GRC. This marks a new political scene in Singapore where Foreign Minister George Yeo was forced to resign. Mr S.T Chiam lost Potong Pasir. Salute to Mr Chiam n WP for their great fight! I'm a non PAP supporter. =P

Farewell Reyna...

We woke up to bad news on the 15th April, Reyna met with a car accident and passed on. We were shocked n in disbelief.

Life is really unpredictable. Just as when we get complacent, god takes things away from us. We really wont know what will happen next..treasure everyone n everything everyday as if its the last..at least, we will leave with no regrets.

Reyna, though we werent the closest of besties...but you r always my fav mj khaki n fren. We will take care of lil Chloe and help Terence to move on.. May you find peace at the other world n bless them with ever good fortune. Till we meet again ....Goodbye~

Klaire's 1st swim!

Everything's falling into place now. I wanted to give Kirsten more time. I set half a yr for her to adapt to school. She kept crying at the doorstep when we send her. She will wail, koala hug me and kept repeating Mama,Mama....I can't bear to leave her too, but I just have to do it. Every morning, I went to work feeling lousy and felt I'm a lousy mother. BUT, I was met with a lovely surprise come just last week, exactly a month later after she attended school. She happily went in without any fussing! She even cooperates and opens her mouth to let the teacher checks for signs of HFMD. I was overjoyed. Even as the door closed and I peep through the window, I can see she was trying to remove her shoes and putting them in the designated spot in the cupboard. So determined and cute.. My girl has grown..

Klaire's eczema comes and go. She had four lil teeth now. Because of her itchy gum, she's drooling big time and she kept bringing everything and anything to chew. All these led to the rashes near her mouth. Poor lil apple.

We brought her for her 1st swim(like finally!) at Hard Rock Hotel (Thanks to sista cleo and family) and this lil girl really enjoys being in the water! she can float neatly with a neck float without struggling. Even as I guide her in the water, her legs will naturally kick backwards! amazing! Whereas, Jiejie(JJ) is super kiasi. We had to coax her for like 5 mins b4 she agrees to go in the pool. And she still doesn't dare to go near any splashing water that are meant for play. Lousy ya? Meimei(MM) is much better.. Way to go MM!

Testing my new camera and used Klaire as a model!

Kirs posing as "pretty girl" when we visited Celia in TMC

Went Qing Ming at CCK cemetry..All hot n sweaty and dunno where she's looking. But much improvement now as she will gladly gek a smile for photo taking these days..



To the pool! Wwweeeee............

And finally in the hotel room..Klaire sitting for a few good mins b4 and chewing stuffs again! gosh!

Roaring tiger

Klaire's more vocal and i recorded it 1 nite when she refused to sleep. Placed her on the bed and I started to roar with her! haha

Faking it!

She wanted me to open the can of pistachio nuts for her to eat. I ignored her and she started the nonsense. You can see she's purely faking it when she was distracted by the tv and only to look at me and remember crying again! When all else fail, she gave up and shake to the music~

Closer to the terrible 2!!

My 1st Skool

Kirsten went to school on the 1st of March. I accompanied her for 2 half days. She was okay, did not cry at all. Quiet and observant, she was reserve and likes to observe the other kids while hiding at a corner. Separation anxiety comes after 1-2 days after I stopped accompanying her. She would cry at the door and koala hug me. Best is when she keeps crying for Mama mama mama...makes me feel so sad..
I have to endure for this is a passing phase. It is a new challenge for me and her. Hope she can adapt soon and loves to go school eventually!

She's a gem and cooperates fully when I wana get a passport photo of her for her enrollment form. She's jus so cheeky n lovable with her "gek" smile...

Her first day in school.

And Klaire has recovered from her eczema! She's smiley always..

Her milestone to date -

* Eating solids and sucking water from straw.

* 2 lil teeth at bottom at 6 mths plus

* Sit unsupported for a while

* Blabber alot of funny babyish! Much more then Kirs! ( I tried videoing it, but seems like after she saw my phone she;'s more interested in the phone -_-!)
