YX and Cayden now constantly looked forward to the outings we have on Friday evenings. Last week, they sweated it out at the Henderson Waves, this week, they chill out at the new 313@somerset. It's the first time we went to the building and the main reason for us to go there was to let the kids have a chance to decorate a cake at The Icing Room.

We went to the zoo on Sunday, which also happened to be YX's birthday based on the lunar calendar. We started the day with a special treat for YX.. chocolate prata at Jalan Kayu :) She was a happy camper and played with CW's iphone while waiting for the food to arrive.

This is YX's 3rd pirate day at school. Although the theme is the same,YX enjoyed the party just as much each year. This year, she is dressed in a pink striped shirt with silver shorts :) Then I made her a sword by wrapping aluminium foil around her toy golf club and also made a 'hook' using plastic cup and aluminium foil :)

I just sat down to do Abacus homework with YX. She took 15 minutes to finish all her work.. not bad! This one involves calculating using the abacus. She found it cumbersome to use the abacus.. So she decided to use a mental abacus. I was surprised to see her fingers moving on an imaginery abacus and all her answers were correct!
I am not sure if ( Read more... )

YX was invited to her classmate, Joe Ee's party last Saturday. It was held at the bowling alley and YX was very excited. Despite waking up really early to send papa off to the US and going for Ballet and Art, she was all geared up to go to the party. She did fall asleep for about 30 mins in the car but was all cheery when she heard Cayden shouting ( Read more... )

The 2nd day of the Lunar New year was spent with friends. The Hans came back from BJ and the whole gang came over to my place for a small gathering. I was running out of ideas on what to get for the lunch gathering and decided to go to Cold Storage for ideas... In the end, I got some ribs and chicken, salmon sashimi and some salad. I also got some ( Read more... )

We started the 1st day of the lunar new year bright and early. After a simple breakfast, we left our house to meet up with CW's sisters and brothers at the temple for prayers. YX was very excited with the prospects of meeting up with JW and KJ again. KJ's mum had given her a pair of high heel shoes and a hand bag and she insisted on bringing the ( Read more... )
