Dinner @ In-law's Place

We went to pick up Chloe and then head off to Sharlene's place to fetch all the kids + Sharlene & helper to in-law's place for dinner. Since we were the 1st to reach, we were also given priority to eat 1st. It was a nice gathering and dinner then

26 Months Milestones & Mummy's Birthday

It's been 1 and a half month since Shannen started school. We can see the differences in terms of the way she talks, eat, walk, etc.

Talking - She is able to count from 1 to 10 in English, Mandarin & Hokkien. When I sing the songs which the teachers did in school, she can dance with lots of hand signs (following what the teacher had taught her in school). When we asked her about her friends in school, she will always call out for Anne Marie 1st then follow by Eewan. I think these are her 2 favourites friends there.

Eating - Self-feed mostly by herself for the whole meal. She is also eating supper before her night time milk feed.

Walking - She is also able to climb up and down the stairs faster and she is also able to get down of the bed herself. Before that, I always threaten her that if she goes down by herself, she will fall. So that I can do my things while she sits on the bed. Not for now...

Other Action - She is able to take off both diaper pant and normal diaper by herself and threw them in the bin before showering. Before hand, she will took off her pants 1st. For the t-shirt, still pending for more successful tries. She can also wear her shoe and take them off all by herself in school and upon reaching home.

Figures - She weights heavier now and even Elson cannot carry her for too long. There's some muscle on her small thighs too.

Teacher Susie hand me Shannen's Communication Book on last Friday and left a remarks there(for end of the year reviews) :

Shannen has settled well in her class. Now she become familiar with daily routine. Se is able to participate in all activities. She is also able to imitate simple actions during music & movement. Is able to fix simple puzzles, like animals & shapes. She get along well with her friends and through play she learn social skill, sharing & taking turns. Friendships are formed, self-esteem is build. Is able to follow simple instruction. When she misbehave I will explain why this behaviour is not good and she is able to understand. Sometimes, she is easily distracted (don't worry). This is common respond for children at this age. Overall, she is cute and a smart girl.


Daddy, mummy, Edmund & Huiting took a cab to our place. Before that, Huiting & Mummy had collected the cake which I had ordered from Prima Deli last Wednesday. We went to Bottle Tree Village for an early dinner. Wanted to enjoy the dinner by the sea, but we weren't that lucky. It was pouring heavily and we had to sit inside. Good thing is the rain had brought along some cold wind and so we were enjoying the dinner with no sweat. We ordered sweet & sour pork, fried french beans, hotplate tofu, spring onion beef, garlic chicken, 10 chicken satay & 10 pork satay and finally 2 plates of BBQ sotong. We also had some deserts after dinner. Total bill was $150. Cheap & worth it. Definitely will come again!

We went back to our place for the cake and Shannen of course was very excited to be able to blow off the candles.

Shannen's Sercret Fashion Show

I bet many of you would have heard of Victoria's Secret, but what I had posted is something special - Shannen's Secret! Oops... now everyone will know that what kinda panties am wearing at home...

Let me change 1st!

Genting Trip Again

Yes... we are going to Genting again. I bet mummy is trying to save some $$ for me that's why she chose to go to Genting. This time, we will have an additional member with us, Edmund. Paid a total of S$707 for 5 adults and 1 toddler(she is free so far, means no seat for her). Looking forward for Genting again at end of the year. Yahoo!

Long Beans

Finally, we can see the beans growing now.

Changi Village

This is the 1st time we have gone to Changi Village as a family. As Shannen kept saying "飞机" for the past few days, so we thought of bringing her there to get some closeup with the aeroplanes there. We settled our dinner @ a western food cafe and ordered a lamb chop(for myself), a pork chop(for Elson) and a grilled fish for Shannen. I would grade the foods as so-so only. Together with 2 drinks, total bill was $50. Not cheap for the kinda quality we got. Anyway, believe this will be the last time we will visit them though the service from the staffs was excellent.

After dinner, we head off to Changi beach till sunset. Shannen didn't want to leave the beach as she was having lots of fun playing with the sand. Lolz...
