Nicole's Birthday

It is Nicole's Birthday .... so we are off to her school to celebrate her birthday in school. As it is her special day, she went to school in a nice red dress. This however made Natalie sad cos she had the impression that we were going off shopping without her. Only after some assurance did she realise that we are only going after school ends for the day.

Natalie was given permission to pop by for the cake cutting over at Nicole's class and they had a wonderful time singing and celebration the occasion ... again. Hahahahaha!

After school, we were off shopping. Even though the kids were tired, they managed to show off their laughter and joy.

Look at her double eyelid. Signs of fatigue setting in.

But she never fail to put that smile on your face

with the contagious laughter of hers.

Happy Birthday to you Nicole. You are 3 already.

Love Daddy & Mummy!

Not forgetting your Sister Natalie as well!

Homework

Natalie has quite a bit of homework this weekend. There are few worksheets that she doesn't want to complete in school and hence her teacher wanted us to coach her at home. There is one which requires her to draw "Big" house and "Small" house, to our surprise, she drew the house completed with her papi, mummi, auntie, mei-mei and herself. She put the adults in the "Big" house while the kids in the "Small" house.

eXplorer Kids

Finally after many weeks of comtemplating, we spent a great afternoon at the eXplorer Kids or rather the "Giant Yellow Slide" which Natalie fondly relate the place. To her Go-Go Bambini is the "Purple Slide". She has been asking us to bring her to this "Giant Slide" for some time, but it is so far from our home, that we dragging this outing for some time.

While Natalie had a great time at the Mega Play, Nicole is trying balls at the bigger kids over at the ball pit. She has upgraded from the Toddler Play Area. She enjoys pretending the ball pit is a big tub filled with colourful bubbles. She even tried to sink into the balls.

After Xplorer Kids, Natalie will drag us to get her sprite from one of the coffee hunt and follow up the ferries wheel. She was so happy while queueing for her turn to ride the ferries wheel, she started saying "hello" to 2 girls queueing in front of us. She is simply happy.

When we left, Natalie even said "Goodbye, Giant Slide! , I miss you Giant Slide" ...

Wish upon a star

Natalie and Nicole wish upon seeing a star on our way home. Natalie wishs that Papa, mummi, grandma, mei-mei and auntie will always be together. And she also wishs that she want to go to school another day. Nicole wishs for something too but she speaks so softly that no one can hear her.

Our stay at Swissotel

Last Dec, we stayed at Swissotel for 1 day to celebrate our Xmas. Since both our girls enjoyed their stay at Holiday Inn, Malacca, we decided to go for another hotel stay. They loved the bathtub and can't wait to join in. They had their fill of bubble baths.

Bye Bye Baby Moo Moo

At the begining of this year, we are thinking of having a another baby. Then we deliberate for a while and now there is only 1 more month before the end of Year 2009. As I prefer to have a baby at the end of the year. Hence there goes my Baby No.3 dream unless miracle do happen in a month.

Another attempt to bake

2 weekend ago, Kelyn, Claudia and Michelle gathered at my place to bake for our super duper vain-pot chanel crazy Mavis. We baked 3 cakes but only 1.5 cakes can be used. It's not totally about the cake, but rather the effort that we put in and the fun we have in the process of baking.

By the time, we finished it is almost 2. Kelyn was so tired that she decide to zzz instead of joining her friends to do her revision. We used up almost all the baking ingredient in my fridge. It's a good way to clear stock and also to get-together! Oh I love to bake! Papi please dun ask me to throw away my goody oldy kenwood!!!

Here's the cake! and FYI it is still edible.
