Firework Display for NDP : Aug-08

I had brought 6 tickets for the family to watch this firework display from Korea. It had started to rain continuously since early morning and we were worried that this event may be postponed due to the rain. It was still raining heavily when we set off. Mentally, we had prepared ourselves to get drenched. We parked our car at the Singapore Flyers' carpark and walked towards Marina Square to have dinner at Swedsen. After dinner, we decided to proceed to walk to the podium and guess what... the rain had almost STOPPED! The DJ did not hesitate to start the firework soon before the rain got us again. What a fantastic timing to stop raining!

Dim Sum @ Golden Peony : Aug-08

After spending 2 full days in Conrad Hotel and thoroughly impressed with their staff's high level of the 3Ps - professionalism, passion and pride in their jobs, I decided to ask the family to go there for dim sum - for Mummy's birthday, as well as for Xuanxuan's birthday! This morning dim sum trip was really the most fruitful for Xuanxuan, havin collected so many presents from her beloved Ah Jia, Q Gong, Yeeyee, Aunty Florence, QQ and Dorothy Jiejie.. :) Her jiejie could only try to be less jealous..

Birthday present for Xuanxuan : Aug-08

Xuanxuan had requested me to help her to make a castle for her school project and made it her birthday present for this year... I readily agreed to her request and we spent a good amount of time planning, sourcing for materials and then, making the castle itself.. It is a Disneyland castle, with Xuan's favourite princesses on it. She's very happy about the outcome and cannot wait to show it to her friends.

Our new Blog outlook : Aug-08

After spending quite a huge amount of time 'customizing' our new blog outlook, I'm glad to 'announced' that it is now ready to be launched... Basically I had changed the blog banner, widen the blog width and add some wonderful gadgets at the sidebars to entertain our visitors... :-)

One of the Banner Draft:

We went out early today to Ikea to get En'en a high chair. She's excited about her first trip to Ikea, performing her usual mischievous "stunts" in the restaurant and also enjoying her first ride on the store trolley.

En'en moved around the house very well, she also developed a habit of calling 'Papa' when her name is called.

Look at how Xuanxuan was grinnin from ear to ear and could hardly close her mouth as she received her very first trophy.. ;)

A Long Day On National Day Eve : Aug-08

Traditionally, National Day eve has been Games Day for the lower primary Holy Innocents' pupils. This year, P1 Xuanxuan is takin part for the 1st time, and she has been selected to participate in an event! She was terribly excited. What's even more excitin was that her team came in first! .. and she received her veri 1st trophy. :)



The 'holy' sunshine sisters also gathered.. Aunty Huili has wanted to bring her pom-pom and whistles, but alas, Xuanxuan and Adeline's event was the very first and it was long over by the time she arrived.



In the afternoon, I decided to take the girls on a MRT and bus ride to Orchard. As we plough thru the concrete jungle, Xuanxuan got very bored and insisted on visitin a park. Where do i find a park at Orchard Road?

Finally, we came to the Youth PARK. Xuanxuan was veri disappointed with the park, and we probably would not return to it again.
