A Birthday Cake

Tomorrow we will be having cake on my MIL's birthday. This is the first time we are having a cake since I know my hubby. Cake as been seen as a taboo for her birthday, but interestingly this year we are going to have a CAKE.

And I am not too happy about it, if it has viewed as a taboo for watever reason, why risk it? So I am hoping everything will go well.

Sigh ... sometimes I wonder why some people because of their own convenience, they don't care about what might happen to the rest.

My Bubbling Artists

Courtesy of Shel Yi Yi's blog. This is the nicest picture amongst her latest post. The rest are kinda blur. Thanks Shel Yi Yi.

My girls are into painting especially Natalie. She can forgo her time at the playground, her shopping for painting. She can draw a smiley face which she called a HAPPY FACE. And everytime she draws her meimei would go HAPPY FACE, HAPPY FACE and beam her brightest smile.

Nicole is into mixing all the colour so we end up having pots of the same colour after she is done.

Mummy, I'm Natalie Cheese

My girls are so exciting when I called home just now. Both of them can't wait to tell me who they are. Natalie spoke to fast and said that she is Natalie Cheese. Nicole only managed to say I'm Nicole, How are you? before her jiejie started screaming her name.

It's confirmed!!!

Hubby agreed that if I was to interrupt his PSP session, he would probably be angry or scream at me.

However when HIS girls were to do the same he will actually stop his PSP session and turn his attention to them. Nicole has been interrupting his daddy's PSP session, she likes to sit on his tummy and block his view of the PSP. And her dearest "daddy mummi" would just pause his game and smile at her ...

Hai where do i stand now? The photo on his handphone and in his wallet has already been replaced by our girls.

But hey, i am not actually upset or feel anything cos I will probably do the same. In fact, my handphone not longer has hubby's photo since Natalie arrives.

Our girls are the centre of our lives, and that the very truth.

What is it that they want me to say?

Sometimes mummy expect me to follow what she says. Sometimes mummy expects me to answer a question. So when to say what? ...

Tomy Big Loader Construction Set

I bought my girl the Big Loader set the moment I saw it at Kiddy Palace. It is something that I had and have amused me when I was a little girl. So I thought it will be nice for my girls to have it.


Papa isn't as amused; cos I got a similar but Thomas the Train set for his nephew birthday. He is complaining that why did I not get the Thomas set for our girls. He is even more frustrated when Natalie insisting on opening up the Thomas set. Well, both sets are similar except that one is of Thomas the Train character, otherwise both work the same. And since our girl don't really fancy Thomas, why should i spend double the money to get the same thing?


This saturday I brought both the girls to Causeway Point to try out something new. Other than getting present for Theophilus, I also want to bring my girls to make the thingy that we will pour the gluey stuff onto the template and after we are done the staff would bake it and we will take home a rubber thingy. Heh heh i just don't know what that is called. May be some kind soul can help me out here. Anyway my girls has such fun creating their thingy. Nicole will just squeeze with all her might resulting in Li Hong doing most of the job. Natalie is slightly better, she is able to use the toothpick to make sure all area are cover by the gluey stuff. Both are so excited while waiting for the art work to be baked.

What Natalie told me

Mummy, don't worry, we'll find it.
Mummy, don't worry, it's ok.
Mummy, are you ok?
Mummy, my tummy hungry for ice cream?
Mummy, let's go shopping mai school.

I am not sure where my girl pick up all these phrases. Neverthe less the first 3 phrases made me feel so good.

I am in the midst of setting up the Big loader when I asked her to help me find one piece of the track and she replied "Mummy don't worry, we'll find it" and start searching the piece for me. It's so good and reassuring. My little girl has grown so much suddenly.

Our girls and their "seventeen"

Nicole can read

To our surprise, Nicole manage to follow her papa and read 2 complete pages of Beauty and the Beast. She can follow every single word after her papa. She usually takes a book and sit down on our lap and ask us to read to her. Today however, she read after her papa and she can pronounce all the words.

In terms of speech, Nicole has developed much faster than Natalie. Nat's pronunciation is still not clear but at least it has improved a great deal since we start trying to engage her more often. Tomorrow, we are going to start Nat's phonics lessons and hopefully she will gain from it. After stopping for dunno how many lessons, both of them are going to resume their Tumbletots lesson. Hmmm ... wondering if they are still keen ...

Mummy don't go home

It just feel so good when Natalie told me. And papa is jealous.

Given a choice, where mummy go anywhere without the 2 of you.
