Last Day in Etonhouse 717

Today marks the last day of my stay in Etonhouse 717. I have been here since I was 18 months old and have grown attached to many of the teachers here. I will miss Ms Charlotte, Ms Renee, Ms Ming, Ms Yda, Ms Fish, Ms Laura and Li Lao Shi. The good thing is most of my classmates are moving to the N2 class at Etonhouse 764 just down the road. However, I will not be in the same class as Asher and Kayne Jin but I am sure I will see them in school. Mummy and Daddy told me that the school is much bigger and has a bigger playground and more classrooms. I was also told that I have to wear the school uniform now. I am sure we will look very cute in the Christmasy uniform.

I had a great time at 717 and I just wanna say a big thank you to all the teachers who have made going to school very fun.

3 Year Old Birthday Celebration (Part 2)

A few months ago, I told Mummy I wanted to invite my friends for my party, assuming I was going to get a 3rd year birthday party. Mummy and Daddy discussed about it and seeing that I had been a good boy this year, decided that I will indeed get a birthday party at Polliwogs since I like that place so much.

I invited all my friends from school but cos some of them were away on vacation, only Asher, Kayne Jin, Michiru, Makena, Mariam and Yiren could make it. Mummy also invited some of her friends with children and of course Godpa with Janessa.

We started with playing at the gym and thank goodness it wasn't very crowded that day. We had lots of fun running around and running through the tunnels. Then we had games in the room and finally it was time to sing the birthday song. Mummy and Daddy got me a cake with Team Umi Zumi characters. It was awesome! We also had lots to eat and even ice cream. We continued playing at the gym after eating and only left that place around 6pm. I was exhausted by then but I had a great day.

3 Year Old Birthday Celebration (Part 1)

Today is Daddy's birthday and together with Mummy, we made a cake for Daddy last night. It was fun as I decorated the cake with lots of colored cream and M&Ms. Daddy was very surprised with the cake and he thought it was very well done. After singing Daddy a song and he cut the cake, we got ready to go to school where Mummy and Daddy had prepared my birthday celebration with my school friends.

The cake for my party was from Jane's Cake Station. Daddy picked it up yesterday so that we can have it this morning for the party. Mummy added more M&Ms around the edges and it looked really colorful. Most of my friends were there to celebrate my birthday with me while a few of them were gone for their year end holiday. Ms Yda helped me to prepare the cake and as I tried to blow out the candles after the birthday song, they just wouldn't go off. Mummy had prepared the funny candles for me and my friends and we had a fun time trying to blow out the candles. A lot of saliva also landed on the cake but everyone just ignored that. The chocolate cake was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you Mummy and Daddy for the cake.

Hong Kong

It was not the original intention to go to Hong Kong Disneyland but because Japan was hit by the earthquake in April this year so we had to cancel that trip. Mummy and Daddy arranged the Hong Kong trip with Godpa and Aunty Jo so that I have Janessa for company. We were there from the 6th to 10th December.

We spent a whole day in Disneyland. Although we were told that the weather there is very cold, we were surprised to find that it was almost as hot as Singapore. It was very crowded, mostly with mainland Chinese but we managed to catch most of the attractions with not too much waiting time. We stayed till the end to watch the fireworks in front of the castle. Before the show was over, I was already fast asleep in the stroller, tired from running around the whole day.

Janessa was not feeling well the next day so Godpa decided to let her sleep in while we went on our own to explore the South of Hong Kong. We took the double decker bus which took us from Central all the way to Stanley Market. It was rather exciting as the road was very narrow, windy and for most parts, either going uphill or downhill. We had lunch at Stanley Market after walking around the shops. Mummy and Daddy spent about an hour having coffee while I was playing at a playground nearby.

The next day we went to Ocean Park and this time the weather was more pleasant although the crowd was still the same with mainly Mandarin speaking tourists. There were many thrill rides which were meant for older kids so we were only left with a few simple rides which were not worth the waiting time. Daddy felt the highlight of that place was the cable car ride which took us to the top of the mountain and overlooking Stanley Market. The Dolphin and Seal show was also not very fantastic but the kids enjoyed it nonetheless. Daddy said the Ocean Park at San Diego is much better so I am looking forward to going there next time.

It was a good break for everyone and I am now looking forward to Disneyland Japan and Ocean Park San Diego.
