Kids Under Ride for FREE!

Looks like after so many trips here, I still ride for free on the Hong Kong MTR. Yippee for mummy!

When I grow up, I wanna be as tall as a HK giraffe! Heh heh..

It's the Holidays!

Hey, hey! It's the holidays!!

Term 2 - Tutti Fruitti!

To mark the end of the term, Aunties N and RZ sent us home with the fruitti crafts, which have kept us so busy in class.

Check out my chic watermelon handbag...

Up, up and away!

So, part of the reward package for being so grown up about riding the bus to school was the promise that we'd go kite-flying! Yippee!

Got my Dora kite - check! Got Mummy's 30year old vampire kite - check! Off we go! Up, up and away! What a wonderfully breezy day! Still would love a sexybom, Dad.

Progress Report & Parent-Teacher Conference

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a year since I started school.
School progress reports were doled out today. And next Friday, Mummy's due for a conference with Aunties N and RZ about my development in school.

Here's what my report said, in short -
- cheerful, bubbly and well-behaved
- participates actively in class activities
- attentive and responsive during lessons
- enjoys music and movement activities and story-telling
- loves make-believe play when we have dramatic activities
- helpful towards her teachers and peers
- interacts and plays well with her friends

Edited on 15 May to add: At PTC, Mummy was proud to hear my teachers say that I was such a joy to have in class, setting an example of acceptance of all my classmates through being extra caring and helpful to whoever was in need at the time.

Mummy and Daddy are just glad that I've adjusted well to being in school and socialising with other kids my age.

The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round!

Big girl on the bus at last!
For the past (nearly!) half year, I've not exactly been cooperative in going to school on the school bus. My demands are simple - gong gong must drive me to school, watch me put my bag, water bottle notebook etc in the slots and then settle down before I dismiss him with a hug and say, "Thanks gonggong, you can go now."

Going home from school is a different story though. I'm perfectly alright riding in the bus all the way home, knowing that mama will be waiting there for me!

Yesterday, I made the slip of promising Aunty N in school that I'd take the bus on my own to school from today on. I'm a girl of my word, so here goes nothing -

Mummy, Daddy, gonggong and mama are all ever so proud of my new found independence - that they've been heaping the praises and raining hugs and kisses on me all day long. Guess I'm a big girl afterall!

In other news - Daddy has promised me my very own sexybom! (see previous post) Just for riding on the bus - Woohoo!

And a trumpet too!

"Mama, please can you buy me a sexybom?"
"Mama, will you buy me a sexybom, please?"
"Mama, I'm a good girl - can I have a sexybom, please?"

And so I went for almost an entire week, every afternoon, I'd be asking mama for one.
Sob... mama did not seem to be able to figure out what on earth a "sexybom" was.

Thank goodness Mummy came to my rescue - with her professionally-honed child interrogation technique. The adults finally figured out what I wanted - no prizes for guessing - as I told Mummy - "It's a musical instrument, Mummy. Oh, and I want a trumpet too!" :)

School Excursion 1

To cap off a term of lessons, activities, songs and games around the central theme of Fruits - Aunty N and Aunty R organized a class trip for us kiddies to the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre and West Coast Park!

My favourite part of the trip was going into the coldroom where the freshly shipped fruit were stored. Brrr...

Mummy took the day off work to chaperone me on the outing. I was glad to be holding hands with my best friend M throughout the outing. That's what BFFs are for - aren't we schweet?

Time for a class picture - as Mummy will attest, it's not easy to get a bunch of sub-3 year olds to pose simultaneously for a picture!

The little nyonya goes to school

Mummy's on a work trip in New Zealand... Cos' I can't go along... bleah! Wish I were there.

Fuzzy picts are courtesy of mama's phone cam.

In other news, it's Dress Up Day in school today - mama has got me dolled up as a nyonya, complete with the sarong skirt she's sewn up for me. Hmmm....wonder if she's cooking up some of her delish buah keluak for dinner as well?

Don't mistake anyone in my family for fans of a similar show on Channel 8 either. None of us has ever caught even 5 minutes of it inspite of all the hype! Mummy swears that just the hype alone is cringe-worthy without having to watch the show as well.

Happy Birthday to me!

All too soon, I'm turning 3!

It's a special birthday for me, as I've never celebrated it with my friends at school before!

Before this, I've always ever celebrated it with the adults around me. I think it's a Grrreeeat Day! I've been busy helping mummy rustle up some goodie bags for my friends. It's filled with treats like - stickers, snacks, tiny toys! I felt like the star of the day - handing out the goodie bags to my friends. I hope they like what they get inside!

Psst... I've got 2 cakes this year, one for my mates in school and one (martini-spiked one) for the ol' folks at home.

Mummy's feable attempt at disguising the lychee cake with my Dora figurines on top certainly did not escape my notice. Heh!

Happy CNY to you!

So this year, we're not celebrating CNY in a BIG way - as a mark of respect for my ah zhor's (on ah gong's side) passing in Nov '07. It's no angpows from Mum and Dad to others, but apparantly ok for me to receive them when doled out by others. Hence, morning of CNY finds Mum, Dad and I lounging lazily around the house. Dad's testing out his camera -cheese!

Here's wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year from Aunty J, Aunty G, Baby Jaguar and me!

May everyone else be blessed with a great time of family togetherness and of course - many, many, many ang pows!!

Atlantis @ Delta

So, mummy's been meaning to check this place out and finally got down to it.

Nothing as fancy as the Bambini outlet we've been to a couple of times, but this place was cheap according to mummy. So it didn't take much persuasion for her to buy a Playcard for 6 sessions of play!

I'm great on all the obstacles 'cept for the BIG kid chute... oooh.. that was scary... Mummy was tricky enough to get me to slide down it once.

WARNING to all kids under 3 - STAY CLEAR of the dark and scary chute!!

House painting

Okay, so it's NOT exactly house painting, more like wall painting. But it was fun nonetheless!

Daddy figured the dark pink walls in the nook outside his bedroom had to go white. So, my take? Painting walls is definately way cooler than painting on paper. :)

See, I've done a Dora on the wall! Yay!

Off to School

A new year, a new beginning! And big girls go to school.

Do I hear a collective sigh of relief from gonggong, mama, daddy and mummy? Everyone figured that I needed an outlet for my boundless energy, otherwise I would soon be bouncing off the walls at home.

Daddy, gonggong and mama were with me on Days 1 and 2. See, here I am on Day 1, nicely settled in during the snack break.

After a weekend, today is my 3rd day attending big girl school.

I'm so glad mummy was able to take the day off work to be with me on Day 3!

Worth the wait -

This schweet collage comes courtesy of Aunty HP, belated but surely worth the wait!
Thank you, Aunty HP - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!

Back from chilly Hong Kong

December 3 - 9, 2008

Here I am at the airport once again, jetting off for a short trip to HK.

T'was fun going ice skating with gong gong as my coach.
Mummy got me a pair of the smallest size skates available- size 3. A couple of wobbly steps and I was on my way...

Lil' girl in a hot air balloon

September 2, 2008

Lil' girl on the Flyer

August 27, 2008

Well, Mummy says, never waste a free trip on the Flyer, so here I am - high, high up in e sky, over looking the city skyline... whoa..btw, I took the ride twice on the same day!!

Business Class weekend

July 5, 2008

We're off on a Business Class weekend in Bangkok, just Papa, Mummy and me...

Will check in at the Sheraton for a restful time and Mummy's hoping to squeeze some shopping in too! (She never seems to get enough! Heh!)

Japan Trip

Somewhere out there - is a massive vault of photos which Papa took during our recent Japan trip - lost in space - think Papa's got some of them posted on Facebook
Note to Mummy - Got. To. Dig. Them. Out.
