Concert 2011

ZhiYu was sick on the actual day of her school concert. But she was still very active and playful hence after some discussion with her teacher, we decided to let her join her class performance only (omiting the finale songs) and bring her home immediately after her performance.

She had done well and remembered most of her steps but I guess she was too excited and forgotten to smile ^_^

Although ZhiYu is among the tallest in her class, she was standing right in front of the stage while dancing!

Updates (long overdue!)

No excuses here. Just plain lazy to upload my photos from the iphone to the computer.

These are some of the updates for the past 3 months...

ZhiYu

She has her first tooth filling in July and will be going for regular checkup from now.

 My happy girl with her "glove-balloon"

We also made some pizza during the June holiday and Zhiyu simply love the hand-on experience!

Zhiyu has also pick up the balloon sculpting skill from somewhere and is quite good at it. ^_^

Finally, ZhiYu's class photo this year after missing taking it due to hospitalisation last year.

Din Yang

19-month old is now getting more and more out of hand. He has learnt to demand things from us and wants things to be done his way and no other ways will satisfy him. I've started the "naughty corner" method and it has some how managed to control him but my "short-term memory" son will go back to his "curious" self very soon =_=

He is able to cal mummy, daddy, popo, jie jie, gugu, jiu jiu, sit, school, raisin, door, bread, dog, ball, bye,走 ...

He loves to eat fishball, pasta, vege crackers, and strawberry sorbet. I'm more relax now as compare to last time when ZY is small, I will allow DY to eat most of the food so long as he eats in moderation.

DY is now 11.3kg and about 84cm tall.

Staycation @ Swissotel Merchant Court

We were supposed to check in early June but to due to other family celebrations, we postponed it till the last week of the June holiday. ZY was looking forward to this short break which we almost could not make it as DY was having high fever after his MMRV vaccination.

We checked in at about 1 p.m. but our room is not ready yet. Hence, we brought the kids for a dip in the pool instead. Initially, DY was a bit afraid of the water and prefered to play by the side of the pool.

DY quickly warmed up and started to splash water and making funny faces at the camera.

ZY as usual, was afraid of the slide initially but quickly warmed up too!

 DY saw the fun that his sister was having and thought that he should give it a try. In fact, he was having so much fun sliding down the pool slide that he was like a Duracell Bunny, sliding down again and again...

Kluang Trip

During the June holiday, we brought ZY and DY to visit my maternal grandma in Kluang, Malaysia. It was my grandma's 91st birthday and we seized the opportunity to bring the kids back to my mother's hometown. My grandma dotes on the kids and was so happy to be able to see them up close rather than the impersonal "webcam meeting".

We also revisited Gunang Lambak in the morning for a nature walk and breathe of fresh air!

We took the train back to Singapore but as usual the very unreliable train was delayed for 2 hours =,=

see my very grumpy boy waiting beside the train track...

managed to take this photo before the rocking motion of the moving train..

finally sent DY to his dreamland. ^_^

A Short Getaway @NSRCC

ZY's cousin ZhengYi's 3rd birthday celebration was held at the NSRCC. It was a great 3D2N fun with the sand, sun and pool!

Both ZY and DY had a wonderful time exploring the nature and having their first time experience building sandcastle. We were blessed with great weather with cloudy sky for the whole 3 days ^_^

First Stop: The Pool!

DY in deep thoughts while relaxing on the float...( em.."what's for dinner?")

Overheard one family jokingly called DY as penguin as he does look like a penguin walking with the towel wrapped around him!

2nd Stop: The Indoor Play Area!

ZY driving the car while DY relaxes.. again..

3rd Stop: Let's the Party Begins!

4th Stop: The Beach!

This was the first time DY stood on the sandy beach and to my surprise, he enjoyed the experience very much and was not disturbed by the feeling of sand on his feet which most kids do. ^_^

Last Stop: The Outdoor Playground (thereafter, its home sweet home)



DY @14-Months Old

Doesn't he looks like a basketball player crying "foul"? ^_^

Din Yang is getting more and more active nowaday. Though he still can't talk, he will make all kinds of sound to get our attention and will point to the things he wants. He always want us to help him wear his shoes so that he can walk along the corridor. He still like to complain about things, be it his own fault or the others. He loves to play with water hence its is no surprise that his favourite place at home is the toilet! He will resort to pouring water from his Pigeon bottle onto the floor and happily playing with the puddle of water . =_="

I notice that he LOVES to play with ball and balloon. He will play with his big orange ball all by himself while making funny "Woo..woo" sound. When he sees his photos taken at the indoor playground with balls pit, he will keep on pointing at it and will nod his head if we asked him whether he wants to go there again. He will then promptly step on the photo as if he wants to go in NOW! Whenever he saw a kid holding a balloon at a far distance, he will start screeching and pointing at the balloon. For one occasion, my usually timid ZhiYu even brought DY to MacDonald and requested for a balloon just for her brother! So Sweet, right? ^_^

Although DY has a growing appetite, his weigh remains at 10kg. As for his height, it is near impossible to measure with him refusing to stand still even for a minute..

For the record, ZY is now at about 113cm and weighs 18.3kg.
