Happy Fathers' Day 2010

Today is Fathers' Day and it is an important day for all well-deserved daddies out there in the world. On this special occasion, we would like to thank our 'SuperDad' (cos he thinks he is some kinda superhero - check below pic :p) for being the special man in our lives.

This special man might not be the richest man with money but he is sure to shower us with his infinite love and care. Time is never on his side as he has to work erratic hours but he makes sure he spends his free time he has in a week with us. He works hard to give us nothing less than only the best and is always putting others first before himself, be it at home or at work.

So for this most hardworking superdad that we have, we have specially designed a gift for him together with mummy. Both didi and I were honored to present him our 1st decent Fathers' Day gift.

It is a self-designed iPhone skin with our cute faces on it. Guess wat? Papa changed the old mobile skin right away with mummy's help.

Happy Fathers' Day and We Love U!

Little Bali....here we come!

We celebrated this year Fathers' Day one day earlier cos tmr is papa's working day. Mummy brought everyone to this place called Little Bali for dinner. This place has really good ambience and it was mummy's 2nd visit here.

The decos of the place were quite unique and catered towards the flavour of Indonesia hence the name Little Bali. The menu consists of Thai, Indonesia and a bit of North Indian food item.

Didi and I had a fun time exploring the place, picking up stones and running up and down flight of stairs.

All dads invited to this event were delighted, including jiu-jiu who is a dad-to-be in 2 months time. Well, he will have his chance next year.

1st dad - Our Ye-ye

2nd Dad - Our gong-gong

3rd Dad - Our Godpapa

Last but not least - Our Papa

He was disappointed with the food though cos almost all items that he had ordered was not available. However, he likes the place very much.

The last highlight of the night was to eat the cake that we had decorated in the afternoon. The cake tasted surprisingly good. Sponge was soft and cream wasn't too rich. Even didi's messy cake got some compliments from nai-nai. :)

Run Denzel Run......

Didi went for his race at Jurong Point and I'd say he look a little apprehensive before the race. Mummy was dead worried he couldn't finish the 30m sprint hence asked ah ma to standby at the finishing line.

The moment didi saw ah ma at the other end, he ran, ran, ran as fast he could and crossed the finishing line with breaking records........

......thus winning himself a medal. Mummy said getting into the finals was not important cos it was the experience that matters most. :p

At least didi gotto complete something all by himself. Bravo didi.

We went for cake decorating right after lunch at The Icing Room as promised by mummy. I'd say didi was having great fun squeezing the cream out with the help of ah ma........

......as well as savoring on the candy bits while decorating the cake.

I was so engrossed doing up my cake to perfect scale and disallowed anyone to touch it or disturb me.

This was so much fun and interesting....

Didi's cake was so valued for money cos he had squeezed all the creme that he could and ate up all unused candy bits while mine was used sparingly. Look at his messy cake! We have decided to give mine to godpa while papa will eat didi's cake after much discussion. :p

Look at my tray, so much of leftover....

Papa found it so wasteful and decided to 'dump' everything into his tummy in order not to waste resources. :p

Like father like son! Didi did the same thing to his remaining chocz creme and enjoying every bit of it.

We went for a drink toasting to didi's excellent performance in his Sprint event and our cake decorating success. Cheers! :)

Arty Crafty - Under the Sea

It was a Friday and mummy was still on leave hence we went to visit gong-gong and head down to Kallang trying out the Circle Line. We ended up in Peek-a-boo at Kallang Leisure Park attending a crafty workshop.

The place was great with a mini cafeteria juz in case the peeps are hungry. Another segment was the play area where mummy can nuah sit around while watching us play.

We had finished our craft session. Didi wasn't very attentive enuf during the workshop. The 'cher gotto help him quite a bit.

Look at our Octopus! The theme was "Under the Sea" hence every children had to do an octopus. Needless for further introduction, mine was pink and didi was blue. I have decided to give mine to godpa as Fathers' Day gift when I see him tmr and didi will give his to papa when we return home later. :)

Kiddos' Updatez

Entry by Mummy

Good weather combined with school holidays, I have decided to bring the kiddos out together for my scheduled appointment to see my gynae.

The clinic was crowded as usual. Wenz making funny faces asking me to take fotos of her while waiting for my turn.

She knows how to take photographs using a camera already and is very fond of snapping everywhere and anyhow recently.

She went into the consultation room together with me seeing her baby didi in my tum tum. Baby didi is doing well and I was given admission letter to the hospital to keep already. Well, if you ask me, I have clean forgotten what to bring to the hospital. Just hoping for smooth and painless (if possible) delivery.

We took the free shuttle bus to Sembawang Shopping Centre (SSC) and was greeted by this 2 big fellas. As the kiddos weren't really into Transformers, we just stood round to watch the performance as they has just begun. If this is some kinda Disney Princess or Cars or Thomas the Train, then I'll go all out to get the photo pass.

Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee putting on awesome performance delighting the crowd. They even have game and called upon some kids to participate.

My kiddos went for some wet fun at the Splash Park. Luckily I can foresee the future and brought along a set of clothing each. :)

Boy~they were totally drenched after an hour of excitement at the playground with didi shivering all over while we, the adults sipping drinks at Astons overseeing them making sure they don't get into big trouble.

Hmm....I'd say this Splash Park is quite a good place for kids to play. Maybe it is a weekday, the shopping mall wasn't crowded. If time permits, you can even do some Sand Art or Paint Art pieces at the same level of the park at Emiko Arts.

No-Bake Baking NIght

Entry by Mummy

I have the urge to let the kids have some fun cos it was kinda boring seeing them cooped up in the house for the whole day due to the whole-day heavy downpour. I took out this box that was lying in the cupboard for few months since I bought it. It sure looks yummilicious to me as I'm a 100% Oreo lover. I simply like the idea of no-bake concept a lot.

The kids were delighted upon seeing it when I announced loudly for them to clear and clean up the table. They got really excited having hands-on. It was totally mess-free cos the instructions were clear and with the pre-packs inside, it was a breeze for the kids to follow it thru under my command. :)

This was actually step 2 which require additional ingredient - MILK, before I poured in Pack 2. Saw the red pack with 2 on it? Yup, what u needed was all in.

The kids helping to beat the mixture to correct consistency.

Need to beat continuously for 3 minutes baby....and Denz was no where to be found after a mere of 1/2 minute, leaving Wenz alone doing the job. Sigh~boys are boys after all, lack of patience and know how to eat only. 2 minutes passed and Wenz started complaining saying her leg ached by standing for too long....WHAT! 2 minutes and tired already. Aiyo~both kiddos are simply lazy. :p

I folded in the oreo bits and blend it well to the mixture..........

....before scooping on top of the base which was done by the kids. Last step was to sprinkle the top with remaining Oreo bits after refrigeration and just before serving.

At this point of time, Wenz has already set the table and told me excitedly who sit where and asked if we could start the Oreo party. Oops! The pie needs at least 1 hour of refrigeration and it was already 11pm by the time I put inside the fridge.

Perhaps she is a Taurus. Despite me telling her to wash up and go to bed, she insisted on waiting till the pie was ready, displaying all her perseverance that she could till I finally persuaded her go to bed. Well, what to do if you have an absolutely obstinate child!

Both kids woke up really early next morning asking for Oreo Pie. Morale of the story: Never keep your child in suspense. :p

Happy Dumpling Festival 2010

Today is 5th day of 5th Lunar Month and is also widely known as Rice Dumpling Festival. These are the dumplings that ah ma and gong-gong had made, leaving didi not able to see ah ma for 2 days 1 night. Not forgetting to mention 'bout his whining for ah ma too. He is ah ma's boy and everyone in the house knows about it.

Back to the rice dumplings, they are simply yummy. I had some of it the moment me and didi reached gong-gong's house. I think I only see a few left on our dining table and I bet it will be gone very soon....where else????.......into mummy's tummy of course. :p

Hereby wishing U a Happy Dumpling Day with lotsa yummy rice dumpling to savor.
