CAT
Mummy came across this CAT play from newspapers and brought us for the show on 13th June.
This play was based on a popular Australian picture book by Mike Dumbleton and Craig Smith and is ideal for children aged one to four.
Cat play works with music, sounds, puppets, actors and lots of meowing and this interactive, engaging and colourful production is set in a backyard. The “lawn” is turned into a seating area for us and they will follow a day in the life of Cat and her encounters with Dog, Frog, Mouse, Chicken, Caterpillar, Birds and Fish.
Before the show starts, we even took part in the get Cat Crafty workshop with educators from Julia Gabriel with our very own cat puppets!
All of us including daddy and mummy thoroughly enjoyed the play!

Advance Happy Father's Day
Daddy was lucky to win a dining voucher for 2 worth $90+++ to Spices Café at Concorde hotel for father’s day celebration. The lucky draw coupon was given to us when we went there for mother’s day celebration last month and we didn’t expect to win the dining voucher until daddy received the letter.
As we will be away from this Saturday, therefore mummy called to enquiry about bringing forward the date and to our surprised, we were allowed to do so. So we went for buffet dinner yesterday and our forgetful daddy forgotten to bring his camera and mummy can only snap a few pictures of us using her lousy hp camera :)
Anyway, advance Happy Father’s Day to our daddy!

Fidgets
We have a play date with Shannyn, Julian, Claryce and Joelle at Fidgets on Wednesday and thanks to Aunty Chantelle for giving us a ride there :)
It was our second trip with them there since Sep 09. Backed then, I was more adventurous with the slides but not for this round but my gross motor skills had been greatly improved. As for Qiqi, she seems to enjoyed herself this round cause she was a toddler now and she tried almost everything under the roof!
Qiqi enjoyed riding in the 3 different cars and turning the steering wheels.
These are our friends. The top left hand picture shows that we are having snacks to recharge ourselves.
Exploring…..
Oh ya, there was this boy who is older than me likes to play with Qiqi a lot! He kept playing and bringing Qiqi everywhere he goes and Qiqi likes his companion as well :)

Looney Tunes
Mummy brought us to Bukit Panjang Plaza on 4th June to catch Looney Tunes Active Soccer Fiesta and we met Tweety, Sylvester and Bugs Bunny! We missed the chance of getting a photo pass cause when we reached, the show is starting soon and mummy had no time for last minutes purchase and also I told mummy that I wasn’t keen to take pictures with them :)
We will be here again on next week to catch Transformer!

Qiqi said "pi-pi"
Today Qiqi told mummy that she wants to pee! She said “pi-pi” and when mummy asked her again whether she was sure, she said “pi-pi” and nod her head. So mummy brought her to the toilet and she really pee!
Mummy was glad that she was able to tell us when she wants to pee. Beside pee, she was able to tell us when she wants to “ng-ng” too, and most of the time what she said is true. Another incident during this afternoon was when we were at the library, Qiqi said “pi-pi” again and pointed towards her diaper and mummy told her to pee in her diaper because of convenience. After telling her, mummy thinks that we may confuse her :)
Anyway mei-mei had done a great job!

A day at Marina Square
Went to Marina Square last Saturday cause mummy wants to get some stuffs during GSS. We had a stop at Swensen’s for desserts to recharge ourselves and I love this place cause it provides coloring pencils and papers for the kids. Mummy tried to feed Qiqi some ice-cream but she refused to eat, just like me when I was young who doesn’t fancy ice-cream :)
We also spend some times at the kid’s playground at level 2 and I enjoyed my animal rides while Qiqi preferred to have her kiddy rides without inserting coins. (Good for daddy cause it can save him $$:)
And also we able to catches show on Celebrate Doraemon & Friends' 40th Anniversary at the center stage and we get to know Doraemon, Nobita and Shizuka better after watching the show.

Navy Open House 2010
To enhance my learning on the theme of “all on board”, we went to Navy Open House at Changi Naval Base on 22nd May.
Daddy parked his car at the Singapore Expo and we took the shuttle bus to Changi Naval Base. The highlights of the event includes: Climb onboard the formidable Frigate, the gigantic Landing Ship Tank and the nimble Patrol Vessel; Get up close and personal with Harpoon missiles, torpedoes and naval guns; Speed in ships on the open sea and Watch the Naval Divers in an exciting ship-storming display.
Most of the time we need to queued up for at least 30mins in order to onboard the ship and luckily the weather was still bearable although it was a sunny day and all of us got a little sun-burned after the day.
Both of us enjoyed ourselves and knocked out after we onboard the shuttle bus cause we were simply too tired :)

Jacob Ballas Children's Garden
Went to Jacob Ballas on last Saturday evening with my skate scooter but was told by the friendly staff that we are not allowed to skate in the garden. So we had a walk in the garden and it was a place with great variety of things to play with and lots of room to run and explore!
There were water play area, spice garden, little hut with musical instruments made from plants such as bamboo and coconut, tree house, suspension bridge, waterfall with a cave, playground etc!
We ended the day in the playground where there are a few interesting play items not seen else where. Such as this rotating disc and device that looks like an ice-cream scope which I love so much cause I can scoop the sands and rotate to another side and pour it off!

Skate scooter
Seeing other children riding their skate scooter at the playground, I told mummy I want to have one too. To double confirm I really keen to have one, mummy borrowed one from a boy and let me tried and i simply love it! So daddy got a 2-wheels skate scooter for me and here we are testing out my skate scooter at the playground.
It was fun to skate around and I am learning to master the skills and fyi, I fall down from my skate scooter recently and hurt my lips and of course I cried badly. But mummy told me this is parts and parcel and sometimes accident do happen, just that i have to be careful all the times.

Happy Mother's Day
It was mummy’s 4th Mothers day this year. I made a flower for mummy and she love this flower cause it was something unusual. I made this flower in the school with the help of Li Ling 老师 and this flower was scented cause I add in a drop of perfume!
As for the actual day, we have a buffet lunch with my great-grandma and grandma at Spices Café at Concorde Hotel. I enjoyed the food cause I can eat anything I like :)

Joelle's 1st Birthday Party
We were invited to attend Joelle’s first birthday party on 2nd May. The theme of the birthday party was Sesames street and the party was a great one cause there was a toy area and a coloring corner that was specially set up for the children to keep us occupied! Nice thought Auntie Jammie has :)
It was nice meeting Julian, Joelle, Shannyn and Claryce again and me and Shannyn even do the colorings together. Julian was a very lovable and helpful boy cause he distributed M&M chocolates to all his friends and also helping out with distributing cakes to most of the guests!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during the party and I even ate 2pcs of jelly cakes! Once again, thanks Aunty Jammie for inviting us :)

1st May
I had my hair cut on 1st May and fyi, mummy spend at least 20mins of time talking/persuading me. Most of the time I agreed to has my hair cut but upon reaching the hair salon, I will back out and refused to go into the hair salon.
Mummy was getting impatient initially but she tried very hard to persuade me and make up a story telling me that “kutu” likes to stay in long hairs and insisted asking me to let Auntie Desaree to have a check of my scalp. Worried that I might have “kutu”, I finally stepped in to the hair salon :)
After my hair cut, we made a trip to Istana cause it was an open day. It was our very first trip to Istana except for daddy who had been there when he was young. We enjoyed ourselves at the Istana cause there are slides, water fountain and the big land that we can “zoom” around. Both of us get wet totally after playing with the water fountain and luckily mummy always brought a set of clothing for us when we are out.

Zoo 26th April
Qiqi had a date with her friends to Singapore Zoo on 26th April. Knowing that I will insist to follow, mummy kept this secret without telling me. On 26th morning, mummy had to lie to me that she was going to bring qiqi for her vaccination (I am not keen to follow for vaccination) and I happily waved goodbye to them.
Mummy reached Zoo at 10am sharp and met Auntie E-wen, Auntie Zelia, Zach and Rachelle and shortly, the weather changed from sunny to cloudy days and it started to drizzle and then pouring! So they went to Ah Meng’s café for chit-chatting while waiting for the rains to stop. It was a very wet day and luckily they need not pay the entrance fees because Auntie Zelia has a corporate pass (thank you Auntie Zelia).
After the rains stop at around 3pm, they went to kid’s world to have water play. Qiqi was a shy girl and refused to joined Zach and Rachelle where both of them had so much fun in the water play! So while waiting for them, mummy brought Qiqi around to look at rabbits, horses, goats etc.
Fyi, this was mummy’s first experience for bringing qiqi out alone! Mummy was glad that Qiqi behave well throughout the day except that she was very shy towards others and refused to play with her friends :)

Bad week for us
It has been a bad week for us cause firstly, Qiqi was down with fever + flu, and followed by me and mummy where both of us was down with flu + fever + cough!
Glad that all of us were almost well now except for slight running nose. The bad weather should be the caused for our illness cause the weather recently was so chaotic, morning will be all sunny and bright and afternoon onwards will be raining heavily and followed by sunny days again. My fever was lasted for more than 3 days and mummy was worried and brought me to my PD yesterday morning for a blood test (full blood count + Influenza A+B) and luckily my blood tests only shows that I was infected by viral infection. I was so frightened when mummy told me that I will be going for a finger prick and I cried during the process because the procedure is painful. I was given antibiotic to standby if my fever doesn’t subside by this Saturday and hopefully I need not use it.

Changi Airport T3
Mummy gets to know there are kiddy rides at Changi Airpot T3 from the forum mummies. She even showed me some pictures and asked me whether am I keen on the rides and I said yes cause there are police motorbikes, jeeps, race cars etc which I shows great interest in it!
So daddy brought us to T3 two Saturdays ago and upon reaching the car rides area, both of us hold back and refused to step further and preferred to sit on the waiting area. Mummy asked me do I want to have a ride and I told her no. Mummy suspects that the reason we refused to have a ride is due to the strong blower noise just like our recent outing to Polliwogs. After sat there for about 10mins, same question were raised to me and I said no again.
So we proceed to T3’s viewing hall to view aeroplane. We enjoyed viewing the aeroplane (more than kiddy rides :))and I get to understand how the goods and luggages are being transport to the planes, how the planes take off and lands etc. We even proceed to T2 for viewing again cause I told daddy I want to see more aeroplane :)
After T2 viewing, daddy brought us to Changi Coast Road for a closer view of aeroplane and experience the loud noise when the plane take off.
On the next day we even went to the library to borrow books to further understand about aeroplanes!

Toothbrush
About few months ago, mummy switched Qiqi from finger brush to Pigeon tooth brush cause Qiqi likes to bite mummy’s finger when brush teeth and it is really painful according to mummy. Nowadays Qiqi will “tell” mummy to take her toothbrush and toothpaste when bathing and she prefer to sucks/taste the toothpaste more than brushing her teeth :)

PastaMania kitchen
I enjoyed trips organised by my school and last week, we went to PastaMania kitchen for an educational tour! (We were taught about various occupations for this term) I was excited on the day itself and kept asking mummy, what color of bus are we taking today cause I love to take bus.
Upon reaching, we were told about the facts of the organization and also the nutritional value. After that we had a tour of the kitchen and were introduced to the different kitchen equipment and its usage and lastly which was the most interesting part was to meet the Chef session for pizza making. All of us had fun making our own pizza with cheese, chicken, mushroom and tomato sauce with the chef and also get to taste some of the food.
We were also given a PastaMania balloon, a notebook and a $5 voucher as goodies! Mummy was overjoyed when she saw me holding a pizza when she picked me up, only got to know that the pizza is NOT FOR CONSUMPTION when reached home:)

婆婆's house
At times I will tell mummy that I want to go back to婆婆's house cause I missed all of them especially the jie-jies and gor-gors. It has been 2 months since we last went back so mummy suggested we make a trip back over the weekend which was 2 weeks ago.
I skipped school on friday and we leave the house around noon cause daddy has an appt in the morning. On the way back, I kept asking daddy and mummy have we reach 婆婆's house? What time are we going to reach and think I asked for about 6 times at least :) When we reached婆婆's house, both myself and Qiqi was excited cause we can play around freely in the spacious environment. After greeting 爷爷&婆婆, we ride bicycle, play around and have a swim in the pool, too bad Qiqi couldn’t joined us in the pool cause she had running nose.
In the evening, we had a walk in the backyard, which is also called a mini fruit & vegetable farm cause there are guava tree, lime tree, papaya tree, mango tree, soursop tree, custard apple tree, longan tree, tomato tree, lady finger, long bean, spinach etc! We ate a few mini guavas and it tasted so good and sweet!
Time always passes quickly and 3 days is simply not enough for us, anyway we had a great time over there and we will be back again during June school holidays.
