Daddy, can we have this please?

Natalie's wishlist - ELC pink Water and Sand table

Natalie and Nicole now browse through the ELC catalogue choose what they want. They will go running to their Daddy and ask for things. Natalie went to her Daddy and said that she need this table. Here's how she try to get her Daddy to buy for her.

Natalie: Daddy, we need this table so we can play with sand and water
Daddy: We can always go to the beach.
Natalie: No, the beach is dangerous.
Daddy: Why is the beach dangerous?
Natalie: Hmmm, there are sea creatures. Daddy can we have the table?

Some quiet moments

Bubble Fun

Fun at The Icing Room

Cake that the girls decorated at Icing Room.

Natalie can't wait for a slice hence I didn't manage to take the picture of the entire cake

Yummy and satisfied

A satisfied girl is a happy girl

Natalie enjoys Bakerzin's profiteroles and hence we decide to treat both of them to more profiteroles this weekend.

On our way to lunch at Din Tai Feng, the girls saw Icing Room and can't wait to have their cake and decorate it. 2 of them standing on the stool, happily squeezing away. Their mission is simple - To put as much cream and colour on to their cake as possible. If not for their profiteroles, they

will want to go home straight away to eat their cake.

Nicole fell asleep on our way home and her jiejie get to eat the cake the moment we reach home.

2 months at Chow Chow House

It has been 2 months that the 2 girls have shifted back to Chow Chow House. It has been a wonderful experience not matter how tiring it can be. It is so comforting to have our lovelies saying goodbye to us in the morning and running to greet us when we return home each evening. Our girls have changed their sleeping routine, they are usually asleep by 9pm and up by 7:30 am.

Natalie has progressed a fair bit in terms of her studies, Daddy has put in alot of effort in coaching her. She now talks about her teachers and sometimes her friends. It is a pity that her fave Zhang "liao shi" is leaving, she has left a great impact on our girl. Natalie now speaks more fluently in mandarin. She can even hold a proper conversation with her Grandma in mandarin. She has been picking up books and encuclopaedia to read through the pictures.

Nicole is getting more vain, she has a change of cloth almost every 3 hours. In particular she loves dresses. This gives Li Hong a hard time, washing and ironing all her clothes. She will go around asking Li Hong and Grandma "Am I pretty". Amazing, both Daddy and myself is not so vain, so how did we get a little vainpot.

We are glad that we made the right decision to shift them back to Chow Chow House. We are really thankful to Grandpa, Grandma and Claudia ee-ee for the inconvenience that they have to put up because of our arrangement.

Yes, its confirmed!

Confirmed it is a BOY! Well Mummy just cant wait for me to update this.

Right ... if these 2 gals that I currently have are terrorists, just cant figure out how the little boy would turn out to be.

Everyone is calling up to check and even received several well wishes from my colleagues at work.

Great Day!

Change, the only constant variable!

Well ..... the gap between the post tells of the type of life we are leading. HECTIC!

Everyone and everything requires attention. From work in the office to the faulty light bulb in the walk-in.

With everyone falling sick at home life was getting even more stressful. But then not everyday is smooth sailing, especially with kids around .... not everyday is Sunday hence we need to adapt to the constant changing circumstances and subordinate our own needs/wants.

For the young .... change is a difficult thing. Natalie is growing up .... and recently just required a change of shoe. Well evidence from past has indicated that making her wear a new shoe was no joke. She cried, she screamed and she hit me ..... all this cos of a new shoe. All this in front of Nicole who was watching live entertainment at her sister's expense.

The biggest joke of all was when Nicole helped me count 1, 2, 3 which is an indication to Natalie that Daddy's patience is up. Whats worse or funny was when Nicole said " No daddy, No! Use the cane, quick use the cane!"

Interesting ... change is also happening to Nicole who has grown more mischievious and demanding. Until recently then I know that Nicole has been making her aunti dig her nose every night. It was only when Aunti was sick where I got to takeover that I realise, Nicole was getting such exclusive treatment. Unfotunately, Daddy wasnt of much help as Nicole puts it " No Daddy, your finger too big. Cannot dig my nose!"

Come December another addition would bring in more change .... patience would be tested for sure. We shall see .....! Til we await the confirmation of the gender this Wednesday!

National Day Celebration 2009

It has been Daddy's family tradition to celebrate with his family to watch NDP Parade together with a good spread of food right in front of their TV. Every year without fail he will fondly recall the year that everyone got prepared happily and settled down in front of the TV and only to realised the TV is not working when they tried switching it on. That year they ate without watching the parade.

This year, we decided to stay at home to carry on Daddy's family tradition at our place. He rushed to get pizza, while the rest of us set up the table in front of the TV watching for the parade to start.

Natalie so happy that her tee's "Come Together" logo shown on TV that she does not want to take it off. She kept waving her flag and jump around and even tried to say the pledge. Nicole on the other hand, could not really be bother.

When Daddy got back, everyone sits in front of the TV to enjoy the parade together with pizza. Though simple, it is an enjoyable way to spend our Natianal Day 2009!
