It's Grandma's Bday!!

Uncle Daniel (mummy's brother) and auntie Doris (SIL)initiated a sit-down dinner today to celebrate Granny's 52th birthday. Since the folks preferred Chinese-style meals (compared to western fish & chips:P), Uncle Daniel made a reservation at Long Beach (East Coast), near to ECP MacDonald's.

Verdict: Food - so so. The crabs were rather disappointing :( The spinach was served in soup!! soupy fried vege.. definitely mummy's first try :P Think the crowd was too big to handle. Standard really CMI...
Service - worse... Everyone dashed around with orders, no one really made eye contact so as to avoid extra work :P They had to end it with a splash of soup on Auntie Doris when clearing the table... :alamak:

For us, it was our last visit.

We headed to Changi Airport terminal 2 for Swenson ice-creams. You would be surprise to see the long queue at that hour: 9.30pm. Not getting enough, all of us gathered again at granny's home for a cake-cutting session... Wahlaoeh... by the time we reached home, it was 12.30am. That was soooo early >_<

Nevertheless, we had great fun despite some disappointing episodes.
Happy Burp-day, granny... Kiss kiss kiss

Long lashes, blink blink!

these pictures are taken while these two precious are deep in their dreamlands. Can't help but to envy their long dark lashes. Sigh... not from mummy definitely. OK, daddy, you get one credit :P

Paintjam Dan Dunn

Auntie HuiLi shared this interesting video of a 'JAM' artist. Very fasinating!! No matter how small your capability is, as long as you put effort in perfecting it. You'll be an expert... of that field of yours :) Your life is thus value creating. Just look at this artist... mummy think granny would be yelling at her top should this be my brother's doing :P Such unique aspiration will surely invite lots of challenges or voices of objection to be exact :D

As parents of 21st century, how should or would we react if our mini-me decide to go against the main stream and build their lives based on dreams. Hmmm... something to ponder though they are still budding, too young to defy.

That's Something About Demi :D

Demi's curly hair has grown longer, slightly enough for 2 tiny pony-tails :)
Thanks to my genes, her mane is usually messy as these locks will never be in place, obediently :P So it is always a bad hair day for Demi. ROFL ROFL
You may sugguest tying or clipping to keep the hair neat. But this itchy-hand gal will always rip up any 'construction' on her head. Alas, the result is a messier look. CRAZY!!

Chong Pang Baby Show 2008

Demi has won a consolation prize in the Healthy Baby Show 2008, held at Chong Pang Community Centre. There were about 40 babies competing in the category of 12 month-18 month old. So glad that she was selected as one of the 10 winners, including top 3 winners. 

Like what Auntie Jenny said, at least my enrolment fee of S$15 is worthwhile. ROFL!!

The winners were selected based on the development of the baby. They were tested using coloured storybook, wooden blocks, stackable bowls and other toys meant for brain development. Demi was asked to demo her walking capability and show off her almost-full-set teeth. At one time, Demi refused to flip the book as she wanted to have that bag of raisins instead. Maybe that's why she had some marks deducted :P

Anyway, mummy glad that this is all over and hope not to have any of this time-consuming competition again. From 8.30am to 1.00pm, this is simply crazy!!
