JBCG - 2nd visit

We revisit Jacob Ballas Children Garden(JBCG) again last saturday with Jenny's family.THis round, we started at bukit timah core, so we go straight into JBCG instead of walking all the way from the botanic garden main entrance

This is the very first time Missy play a tunnel slide. i slide down together with her on my lap, i dont think she enjoy the slide, she find climbing the steps to get to the top of the slide is more fun that sliding down the tunnel slide..



pictures say it all. missy and yu siang (Jenny's son) enjoy their water fun for sure.Jenny is not in the pics cos she is with her bb girl. missy even make friends with ang mo girl. cutey.



before we left JBCG, we manage to catch a glimpse of the black swan, they happen to swim onto the land to sun bath or something.. rather small swan compare to the white one we saw last time in swan lake. i ask LGG took the pictures of the two mummies busy bathing our kid. haa.. next time they grow big can show them. childhood is always so memorable :)



missy fell asleep in car in less tnan 5 minutes after we left. how sleepy. one day full of fun and outdoor exercise.

Sunday, i brought missy down for walk and she gets to play with one 3 year-old kor kor who loves to play with her. they run, ring his bicycle.. chasing, climb here and there.. the boy even invite us to his home haaa..children really cute.

One weekend well-spent.

Weekday activities @ home

Well, i try to introduce more games/activitiesto missy as possible as she is now at the stage that she can absorb fast and most.

she is very playful and she interacts with us vpretty well now. so, shall not miss out these precious moments.

Missy seems fascinated by our hoem curtain, i guess all children loves to play hide and seek with curtain ? she just curl herself up into the curtain and sit down waiting for us to find her. cute isn't it ?







Then, i try to introduce more arts work to missy. usually, we will just scribble on paper on the floor.. now, i pasted the drawing blocks onto our glass door at the balcony and let her scribble there .. a good starting point to practise before i get her the easel.

my drawings with flower and butterflies.. heee.. like go back to school like that. so long never really draw things..

when she is bigger we shall have water colours.. with hand/foot prints..maybe shall do it outside our corridoor.

More weekends activities awaiting us!

Put on weight

Gees.. since cny, i've never stop eating.. eating excessively.. sigh. now im 3kg more compare to January.

So, my keep fit plans kick off again. monday gym ( but lunch eating McD , thanks to col's company..) then today i swim 10 laps.. muahahha.. eat normal lunch. Friday yoga.. shall keep to this routine..

Just hope for good health, happiness and smooth sailing in all things i do.

Forgot post the "mian sian" mum cook for me heee..thanks to her that at this age i still get to eat me suan on my birthday.Mum is always the best !

Lor-Hei

Sunday we went for our yearly vegetarian Lor-Hei. Second time we lor hei this year. Missy definitely have great time this round compare to last year.. she dances to the music and running about. LAts year she is still a baby.. *how time flies*




Missy looks pretty in yellow again.. i think yellow suit her fair skin.. and also bring out her "o-cheng" even clearer.. she climbed on her daddy back on Valentine's day at home and topple down and knock her cheek on Tv console corner *OUCH* that's how active and out-of-control toddler can be.. lucky thing nothing serious.. just a bump pn her cheek and parents feeling heartache and her grandma nagging at her parents for overlook again.. *opps*

HAppy Moo Moo Year !

BFIR - Books for 2 - 4 yo

Yesterday i got three books from the BFIR list.

1. Goodnight Moon.
2. Corduroy
3. We're going for a bear hunt.

i read all to my missy. she does not give 100% attention to all my readings. but im so interested with these books.

Goodnight moon repeating many times of the word "Good night" and corduroy is a bear in green overall with one missing strap buttons, whom finally found a friend by this little girl who bought(save) him from toy department, and we're going for a bear hunt describes the family of 5 advetures to look for a bear and they 've gone through river/bushes/snowstorm/cave and the story reverted the whole journey by bear chasing them back to their home.. so it stresses on sounds and up/under/through.

No wonder SAHM loves the BFIR & FIR series. There are websites sharing activities to be carried put with BFIR/FIR stories.. I've downloaded as many as i've found.

Will introduce the stories to Missy first only after she is familiar with these stories then i'll start tje activities with her.

Homeschooling fun !

Sweetness amidst the bitterness

well, what else can i ask for this year right ? i still have a job and i get bonus.. muahahahha.. simply cant believe it.

But, i din get promoted as my boss's boss said my last promotion is less than 3 years.. sian.. hopefully next year will be my year la.

I decided not to spend my bonus on my LV bag. this shall put on hold as i have more important things to settle. this is LGG & my plan. hopefully we can clear by 5 years.

so, all others shall wait.

Flu Flu , go away

remind me of the songs i always sing to my missy when we pretend play umbrella.."rain rain, go away, come again some other day"..

now, i wish my stupif flu ( started from my maid then to my mum. then to me, missy has slight rinning nose)..mine started with bad sore throat on friday night.. then it gets better on sunday.. sunday night i started to have running nose and slight cough.. Monday aka yesterday i've been sneezing away and blowing my nose and coughing..

today is slightly better but still cough and nose blocked. hate to be sick. never exercise since.. cos immune system is weak, not suppose to exercise.

Maybe tmw shall go. i drink yogurt drink cos i read from magazine, when sick drink some probioctic drinks which helps to boost immune system and digestive system.

Chap Goh Mei

End of Y2009 Chinese New Year. we have a pre-chapgohmeh celebration at home with steamboat.

Haven done steamboat in my home since we moved in this is the first time. We usualy had our steamboat at In laws home. SO, it's quite special. mum prepared some of the dishes and i prepare some.

LAst week, maid is down with flu. which then infected my mum.. then me (sore throat and today running nose) and then my little missy (running nose ).. so still the man in the home staying "tough".. unaffected !

We enjoyed our steamboat, so do missy, she has her share too. cutey

We started the cny with vegetarian whole day and we shall end the last day of cny tmw with whole day vegetarian as well..

Finger cross my bonus is on the way...

New activities for Missy

Missy out-grown her toys now..and simply don't show much interest with most of her existing toys.. so i've got to think of more games for her.. to keep her occupied and give her some stimulation at the same time that we have fun !

been reading on so books

of games for toddler.. cant find the "busy with toddler" .. still searching.

so, for this weekdays, we play sponge in the water, raisin transfer game, ring stacking becomes her bracelet game, she just put the ring into her arms and dance about with her nursery rhymes and lastly the ball ring stacking games..

these games train her fine motor skills as well as follow instructions eg i ask her to transfer raisin from one bowl to another..she did a great job considering she ate some of raisins instead of putting into another bowl. haaa

more games to come..i will create some lap book for shapes , stolen idea from children books from MPH that i went to while waiting for jia the other day.. heee

Happy playing !

MUNCH

Yesterday go to town for meeting. chio jia for lunch and we tried out MUNCH. my first Salad lunch . not bad at all. simply refreshing, but the whole set (4 mix salad + one mushroom soup + ice lemon tea) really keep me full the whole afternoon.

There are so many variety to choose from, i choose the salad vege + kidney beans +other beans + chicken/walnut +pasts/grapes.. one thing i like abt their salad is that the fruits and nuts are so fresh.. really worth the value.

a different lunch in town.

I have an idea.. i may one day have a salad party at home.. not bad huh. healthy and simple and refreshing !

Happy OX Year *O*

This year is a better ones compare to last year, at least i really eat all through the week.. muahhaa.. my tummy still feel bloated even till today.

Missy gets to see the lion dance again this year.. she seems fascinated by the "dong dong qiang" but i still feel it's too loud for her..

We went to Jenny's home to bai nian.. and missy gets to play with her two kids.. her missy is very cute too..

Some photos for remembrance at their stage now.
