Reegan loves to stand

These days, wherever we leave him, he'd always try to stand.



But sometimes, he decides to be a woodpecker...



He tries to read everyday because reading is so much fun!


I try to let him play a little longer in his little tub...


Everyone is happy he is mobile now. He can come to look for Mummy on his own!

Mum turns 60

Mum turns 60 today. When I was younger, whenever I hear people turning 60, they were already wearing the Ah-Ma clothing and looked somewhat old. But Mum certainly don't look like that. We all three sisters decided to get her a U-squeeze and surprise her when she returns home from work today.

We went to Canton Wok for dinner yesterday. She liked the food. That was good.

Meredith made Popo a card and wore the hair band she made herself that night.








Reegan was still hungry after dinner and decided to check out what else he could eat from the fridge.

When the craving kicks in

We have to get those Tau Sar Piah again. This is the Loong Fatt piahs at Balestier Rd we are talking about. You gotta try it if you haven't. It's going to be one of the things I will miss soon. We managed to get a parking lot easily. There were no lorries around to disgustingly cut the queue and snatch a lot. But we were surprised by the unusual large crowd at the store. There were lots of aunties buying by the boxes. This is something I will not miss. But despite the crowd and the seemingly tired expression on their faces, the people in the store were still very polite and patient to their customers.


We got what we wanted. And enjoyed it with a cup of green tea in the afternoon.

When boys are still boys


Met up with the boys. It was two years ago when we last had something like that. They are my first batch of boys who went through band from P3 to 6.

It was like going back to the old times. They talked back, argued...etc. But the sweet ones are still sweet. The quiet ones are still quiet. The blur one is still as blur. And the dragon who used to spew out fire in his speech claimed he has toned down a little. But they have all grown up....physically.

Here, they were trying to build the next tallest tower in Asia. And then they next sort out the plates according to their colours...pink, green, yellow...etc. Jacintha said its a boys thing. Must be.

While we are waiting...

We are still deciding when to move. Perhaps there may be changes to our plans.

I just realise today, that I should be feeding Reegan with more vegetables. I think I have been doing fine but I am going to really cut down his fish or chicken intake. He is otherwise going real well. Just today, he started to stand on his own holding to the sides of the bed. Now the bed is no longer that safe. It used to be the safest place but now we would need to watch him.

He enjoyed his first swim last weekend...ya, we need to get him some swim gears...

He is funny when he does his can-can with his right leg. He always does this kicking movement as if doing a can-can.


And he loves his yoga. He is even doing it in his sleep...












He also started attending Bible Class. But the older boys seem too loud and noisy for him. He is real quiet in class and is happy playing by himself. I was imagining if he would be like that when he attends school some years from now.

And this is Preston, one of his friends from Bible Class. He is very happy here with his miniature basketball. And no, he wouldn't share anything...yet...and he loves o-yange.

And this is for breakfast

The house (for the family) we've been talking about...

with pink hearts on the roof...

Meredith's Children's Day

Meredith has been looking forward to this day. She got to go back to school again, what more, and go on an excursion with her friends! The kids went to Snow City for their Children's Day celebration. She talked about the trip the whole night after she came back home. And one thing she learned very well - the temperature there was about 5 to 12 de-grams.

She got up early in the morning too to make a surprise breakfast treat for her friends. We call it the 'Zoo', made simply of biscuits, peanut butter and celery.


We nearly gave it a miss but were glad we made it for their last performance. The Athenarts Performing Troupe put up a Children's Day special at the Esplanade. They were singing selections from musicals and Disney cartoons. The songs were strung together by a simple storyline.

I have not heard about the Athenarts but must say the soloists had indeed strong and powerful vocals. And its easy to tell why they were given the soloist parts. I do not know their purpose for putting up the performance, but I think besides training up the vocals, they should really also work on the props and costumes of some of the kids.


By appearance, I thought this girl was the most inappropriately dressed and look at the broom she was using! She was supposed to be Cinderella, but she looked just like any kid out on a normal shopping spree and the broom would need some dressing up!

However and however, she was the one who moved me to tears with her "Think of me.....think of me fondly..." Her voice was strong, sweet and beautiful...wow! I was blown away.

We thoroughly enjoyed the show. We now can't get the music off our head...
