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 :)

The little artist

It was cute seeing Qiqi wearing this art smock! This round, she was willing to put on art smock before any paint work begins unlike previously, she totally refused to wear :)

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 :)
