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.

I can write my name

Yoghurt

Knowing that I like yoghurt so whenever mummy went for super-marketing, she will get a few to stock in the fridge. This is the 1st time Qiqi tasted the yoghurt and she really like it! Both of us finished one cup of yoghurt in less than 2 minutes and we enjoyed feeding each other as shown in the pictures. :)

East Coast Park again

East Coast Park again? Yes, we visited ECP again in less than a month’s time. Reason was because I simply love to cycle. As usual, daddy rents a bicycle for me and also a bicycle with a child seat for Qiqi.

We enjoyed riding the bicycle in the park and I even got to know a new friend and we chat a bit on the topic of bicycle. :)






















As I am a Chinese food lover, western food to me is a no no except for French fries. But when mummy asked me do I want to have burger for dinner and my replied is yes. So we went to Burger King for dinner and when the burger was served to me, i refused to eat and only have french fries for the day. Worried that I may get hungry, mummy cooked a quick noodle soup for me when we reached home.

Polliwogs

I was happy when mummy told me that we are going to have a play date with Shannyn and Julian at Polliwogs on 3rd April.

Upon reaching, we were told that the air-con was broke down at the play area but since all of us were already there, we decided to go ahead. Think Qiqi was frightened by the strong blower when daddy brought her in previously to take a look at the play area while waiting for Aunty Jammie. So the moment we stepped in, Qiqi started to cry non-stop until mummy had to bring her out of the premise. After she had settled down, mummy tried to bring her in again but she totally refused to step in! The moment mummy opened the door, she started to cry. Daddy told mummy that I refused to play as well, so mummy had no choice but to ask for a refund based on the situation.

The staff was very helpful thus given us a full refund and off we went to Suntec City as there is this meet and greet Diego and Dora that was organized by Starhub Mobile in their anniversary fair. I looked forward to meet Diego cause I have been watching his DVDs and also has a few books of him.

After we left, Qiqi was back to herself and she looked happy playing around with me.

As we are early for the show, we do some craft work and while waiting to meet Diego, I am too tired and dozed off.

When the show started, mummy tried to wake me up but I am simply too tired and refused to wake up. So towards end of the show, mummy pushes me nearer to the stage and I was awaken by the loud noise. Maybe because I was still feeling tired, I prefer to sit at my stroller to watch Diego and Dora instead of going up the stage to meet them.

After the show ended, I saw this racing car at the fair and I immediately jumped down from my stroller and sit on it! See how much I love cars… Looked at me, I look serious in racing right?



After our dinner, we had yammi yogurt for dessert and while waiting to finish off the yogurt, me and qiqi had fun walking and squatting around. :-)

Numbers & Alphabets

I have been practicing to write my name over the past weeks. I start with tracing and shortly, i memorised the alphabets of my name. Now I can write my name and also numbers 1 to 9, but often, some of the numbers I wrote will turn out opposite especially for numbers 6 and 9.

I remember daddy’s hand phone number too cause everyday before I sleep, mummy will repeat the number again and again to me, and thus the numbers had already locked in my brain.

As for alphabets, I can recognize all the 26 alphabets and can say eg: A is for alligator, aeroplane and so on. Often, I can named at least 2 things and mummy is pleased that I am keen on learning cause often, mummy taught me in a fun way such as using the real objects to let me touch, smell, see, taste and hear (5 senses) whenever possible and I could say all these reinforce in my learning.

However, some of the things I need to improve on were:

1) To hold/grip the pen correctly ( I often preferred to use my own method despite being told to hold correctly)
2) Improved on my fine motor skills such as using a scissors
3) To starts learning phonics (mummy started teaching me but I show no interest in reading, but I prefer to watch or listen to songs & rhymes regarding phonics)

Mummy will try to take a picture of my written names and post here soon!

Busy week for mummy

During the whole of last week, mummy was a busy bee cause my great grandma was away to Taiwan for holidays. Mummy was thinking should we dine outside for our dinners? The answer was no cause firstly outside food was not as healthy as home-cooked food and also mummy missed having her own cooked food! So mummy had to do the groceries shopping and also a visit to the wet market by herself. Daddy comments that mummy’s cooking was yummy cause he hasn’t had the chance to eat since my great grandma was here (about 1.5 years) cause all our dinners were cooked by her.

And also mummy was busy packing all the unused baby stuffs to bring back to popo’s house over the weekend as our storage space was limited.

Aunty Annie's house

Mummy organized a gathering for the kids with Aunty Jacinda and Aunty Annie on last Friday, but too bad Aunty Jacinda couldn’t make it last minute.

When we reached Aunty Annie’s house, Rhea is taking her nap. So Qiqi and I start to play with her toys. Rhea is about 1 month older than Qiqi but she looks taller. She is an easy going and friendly toddler as compared to Qiqi, cause she can play with everyone! Looks like Qiqi have to learn from Rhea about her social skills. :)

Yu-Qi in my school uniform

When kakak is folding clothes, qiqi always messed up all the clothes that kakak had fold. So in order to distract qiqi, kakak will try qiqi on different clothing and here she is in my school uniform.
My uniform looks big on her right? Cause she was a petite girl as compared to me.

Qiqi will be turning 18mths in a month's time and she will be eligible for playgroup entry. But mummy has no intention to send her to any playgroup yet cause she feels that her immune system is still weak, moreover mummy can do the job of teaching her at home, so probably will send her after she turn 2 years old.

Breakfast at McDonald

It has been quite sometimes since we last had Mc Donald for breakfast. So mummy suggested we go for breakfast and followed by swimming at Aunty Louisa’s place on last Saturday.

I enjoyed the scrambled egg and pancakes and also enjoyed spreading the butter and pouring maple syrup into the pancakes all by myself. It was fun cause I can pour as much as I like! (of course i can heard mummy kept saying, “enough already”! As for Qiqi, she doesn’t really eat cause mummy had already fed her cereal before we went out.





















When we reached the pool, it was also time for Qiqi to have her lunch. So mummy fed Qiqi and after she finished, she fall asleep because she had skipped her morning nap and therefore she couldn’t join us in the pool. This time round, daddy taught me to swim and we started on frog style cause Dr.Ong suggested me to go for swimming as it can strengthen my lungs. As most of the swimming lessons only starts at age 4, so I have to wait for another 8, 9 months before daddy could enroll me for a swimming lesson.
