Going away

We will be flying off tomorrow.....going on a holiday for 10 long days =)

Feeling excited and can't wait to eat all the good food that I've missed.

It has been seven long years since my graduation and I haven't gone back to visit.

Hehehe......

Will blog about my trip when I am back.

Attending the wedding of daddy's best friend

Last weekend, we were back in KL to attend hubby's best friend's wedding. It was a very tiring affair, especially for hubby who had to travel to Ipoh twice! Nevertheless, it was also a very heartwarming moment, especially when we saw the two of them walking into the ballroom happily together as a married couple. Reminds me of my own wedding just three years ago! Anyway, here are some pictures that we took.

Joshie was so captivated with the fishes.

A picture with the bride in her beautiful red dress, bought by the groom.

Joshie slept at about 8:30pm, all the way till the dinner ended. I was surprised that he slept, but maybe he was tired coz he was coughing the night before and hence, did not have a good sleep.

Hubby and I with the newlyweds.

Self Check @ Tanglin Marketplace

Last week was the first time I used the Self-Check machine. Actually, I have noticed this machine for several months already but always headed to the cashier counters as I couldn't be bothered. Haha........might as well let the cashier scan the products and proceed to payment while I entertain my cheeky son.

However, last Monday, all the counters were fully occupied. There were like 2-3 people lining up at each counter, BUT they all had a trolley full of stuff. And I only wanted to buy milk and cream cheese. So, I tried lar.......... It was quite easy, just scan the milk and cream cheese and ta-da, the total price appeared on the screen. Swiped my card and I was done! Easy =)

Turning a year older

I celebrated my 2*th birthday today. As usual, birthdays aren't a big thing in our family, so it was just another day, except that we'd go out for dinner.

After Joshie's school, I decided to give myself a treat and headed to Pretticure for a pedicure. I like this place because all their equipments are sterilised. More hygienic compared to some other places which I have been to.

My dear son was very co-operative. As pictured above, he sat on a stool next to me and watched tv. Of course he was very curious as it was his first time watching mummy's nails being done. He even stretched out his legs and wanted the aunty to put colour on his nails......hahahahaha.

After that, we went to Sushi Tei for lunch. My son was being very cheeky. While waiting for our food to arrive, I asked him to show me three different expressions which he learnt recently.

"Joshie, cheeky smile"

"Funny face"

"Pray"
We had dinner at another Japanese restaurant with the hubs. Can't remember the name, but it's very close to Orchard Road. Food was good and we'll go back again.....hehe. Will take pictures next time =)

His 2nd term at LeapSchoolHouse

The theme for this term was Fairytale. The lessons were mainly based on these three storybooks; Green Eggs & Ham by Dr Seuss, Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See by Bill Martin, Jr & Eric Carle and The Bamboo Princess by Kyoko Iwasaki.

Pictured below are some of his work from school.

The children were given a paper plate and 2 printouts of green egg and ham. They were supposed to paste the green egg and ham on the paper plate. Also given crayons for them to add on more food.

Joshie had to smear glue on the mountain before adding sand (yes, real sand from East Coast beach). He had a real fun time doing this activity.

The bamboo trees were printed out with dotted lines. The kids had to use a marker to join the lines and then paste the bamboo princess in the tree.

Ice-cream lover

Joshie's been quite reluctant to stay in the kids room when I go to the gym recently. I think he's fed-up of the minimal toys that they have there, even though the room is quite big. Even though I brought his own Elmo DVDs (which are his current favourites), he didn't want me to leave him behind. So I had to resort to bribery....."Joshie, mummy needs to exercise. If you stay here, mummy will buy you an ice-cream after our lunch ok?"

And it worked.........I managed to exercise, so he got his reward.

Licking the mini Cornetto ice-cream which I bought from Fair Price. He insisted that mummy eat too, so there goes my diet. Luckily it's just a mini one.

Yummy........

Cheeky smile with chocolate all over his mouth.

Royce Gym at Liang Court

A wonderful play area for children, more of a toyland than a gym, I reckon. Lots of toys to choose from, although I'd say the range of toys that they have are more suited to kids who are below 5 years old. The whole area is very safe, soft and padded so there's not much worry about your kid hurting him/herself.

I knew about Royce Gym since beginning of this year. However, we only signed up recently as I felt that they are quite pricey. You have to be a member in order to bring your child in. Membership fees is $50 and has to be renewed every year. Moreover, you have to pay $12 for an hour of play each time you bring your child in.

Anyway, here are some snapshots of Royce Gym.

A little playhouse.

Big choo-choo train. There's a slide in the train.

Lots of toys to choose from.

Joshie was pretending to call his daddy dearest on the telephone.

What I like about the gym. There's an air purifier in every nook and corner. Moreover, the gym closes at 12:30pm every day for half an hour of clean up. Good place to bring the kids to although a little pricey.
