While Daddy drives, Part 2.....

Besides playing with stickers, I also do other things in the car. I like to read and Mummy has stock up some interesting books for me at the back of the car. I also practice my singing cos in case I want to be a pop star, I have a head start.

I also like to make funny faces with Mummy cos it is funny how we try to come up with different looks. Usually I will just follow what Mummy does. And if I am feeling a little emo, I will play with my stuff toys and talk to them. My latest craze is Prickles the hedge hog. I think he has very nice fur.

While Daddy drives...

There are many ways I keep myself occupied at the back of Daddy's car while he drives. With the availability of props, I can do many things. Sometimes Mummy will spoil me with stickers which is very good to keep me quiet for some time.

Van Gogh, here I come...

I used to hate mess and whenever I had something dirty on my fingers or anywhere else, I got very annoyed. Mummy felt that this was not very healthy and decided to get me as dirty as possible. She started by letting me play with paint. She would give me big sheets of paper and I started with painting with the brush and different coloured Crayola paints. I progressed to other objects like potatoes and recently Mummy had this brilliant idea to get sponge alphabets. So as I play with the paint, I learn about the alphabets too. I had a great time.


And when I am done with painting on the paper, I will proceed to the bathroom to finish off my painting session by painting on the bathroom glass wall. It is fun cos I can do whatever I want without worrying about dirtying the place. Then I will get a shower and I am clean again.

Happy New Year 2011!

We celebrated the New Year with Godpa, Aunty Joanne and Janessa at the Marriott Cafe. Daddy has these vouchers for 4 for Hi Tea so we decided to check out their offerings. Apparently the standard has dropped and Daddy and Godpa were not impressed with their spread at all. It was strange to have oysters and chilled prawns for Hi Tea but I guess they must have run out of ideas. I don't think we will be going there for Hi Tea for a long long time. Janessa and I did have fun after the meal as we ran around the hotel lobby and made friends with other kids there too. Happy New Year to all!

Merry Christmas 2010...

Like most kids, I like Christmas because I will get a lot of presents. Some are Christmas presents, some are Birthday presents, and some are a combination of both. Regardless, I like them all. Mummy and Daddy got me this really cool Rocking Horse. It even has buttons on its ears which when pressed makes the horse neighs and wags it's tail.

We had a really good time opening all the presents and I managed to take a picture of all the presents I received. Thank you all aunties and uncles for the presents. Merry Christmas to all...

Let there be Lights...

We managed to get on the Orchard Road Christmas Lights Hippo Tour tonight without any hiccups. Crowd was manageable so we didn't really have to rush at all. The guide was very good and funny so everyone had a really good time. I too enjoyed the lights and cos we were sitting on the top deck of the topless bus, I could feel the wind in my face as we rode down Orchard Road. Daddy and Mummy had fun too and they probably don't mind doing it again next year if they still have this service.

I am 2 years old!

I am officially 2 years old today! How time flies. I thought I just celebrated my 1 year old party just a while ago....

Mummy and Daddy lined up a full day event for me today. Starting with a little party in school with my classmates. Unfortunately the school does not encourage party packs so all they prepared was a birthday cake, which was good enough for me. I had 2 servings of it, as did some of my classmates, much to the amazement of Mummy. We only stayed a little longer after the cake so it wouldn't be too hot for the next event. I felt like a celebrity as I was whizzed to the zoo...

We couldn't believe it when we got to the zoo. It was so so so crowded even at 11 am. There was a snake queue just to get the tickets so Daddy decided we wouldn't join in the mad rush. Just so it was not a wasted trip, we had ice cream at Ben and Jerry and I had a ball running around and playing with the rhino and elephant statues.. When we left the zoo at about 12.30 pm, there were still people walking in and joining the queue to get tickets.

Daddy and Mummy decided I will not miss out on the chance to play with animals (which happens to be my favourite, evidenced by me waking up in the morning and singing E I E I O like it is the national anthem) so we headed to Farm Mart located at Choa Chu Kang. In contrast to the zoo, this place was very quiet. In fact, we were the only ones at the farm area which was perfect for me as I had the animals all to myself. I got to buy treats to feed the goats and bunnies and I had a blast. I also saw lots of turtles, bull frogs, hamsters, birds and fishes....

I was very tired after the farm and had my milk in the car and fell asleep on Mummy's lap as Daddy drove us home.

When I finally woke up at about 5 pm, Mummy quickly changed me and we were out of the house in a jiffy. We were headed to Orchard Road to catch the Christmas lighting and we were told we could get free tickets on the Hippo Tour Bus if we could show any receipt with at least $100 of purchase. Daddy had a few from the Christmas shopping so we were booked for the 8.30 pm tour. Daddy and Mummy felt very "kiasu" going so early to book but they really didn't want me to miss the lights.

While waiting for 8.30 pm, we had dinner at Paragon and even managed to meet up with Enthia and Aunty Michelle for our little Christmas gift exchange. It was so crowded at Paragon but I managed to roam around while Mummy and Aunty Michelle chatted. I even brought my dog out for my walk!

Despite the kiasu effort to secure a place on the Hippo tour, we were not in luck as it started raining at 8.25 pm just as we were preparing to board the bus. Much to the disappointment of Mummy and Daddy (I was nonchalantly playing with the Iphone) , the tour was postponed and we will try again on Thursday. Let's hope the weather holds up then...

We headed home and this was how I celebrated my 2nd birthday. Thank you Mummy and Daddy....
