Din Yang is 2!

Din Yang is 2 today!!


However, MW was not able to take leave from his work, hence we went to Toa Payoh's Swenson Restaurant for a little birthday celebration during MW's lunch hour.


For the record, DY is now 11.9kg, and 86.5cm.

He can now convey his thinking to us via short sentences and is quite stubborn at times. For example, when I asked him to keep his toys, he will "act blur" and walk about without laying his fingers on the toys. It is only when I threatened him with a cane when he finally move his fingers and keep a few toys. ZY and DY usually plays well together until DY starts to disobey ZY and ZY will start to yell at him and that's when DY will be in a "destroy mode". Sometimes, he is so uncontrollable that I fear to bring him outside. Hopefully, as he grow older, he learns to control himself and will be more manageable.

DY favourite toys is still BALL and he recently fell in love with cars too! He is still not toilet train but he will tell me he wants to pee at times. He has a good appetite and loves to eat vegetables, fruits and fishball. Unlike ZY, I am more relax with DY and allows him to eat outside food when we are out.

DIn Yang's Pre-Birthday Celebration

We celebrated DY's 2nd birthday today among friends and family, 6 days ahead of his actual birthday.


Due to our busy schedule, the party started at about 4p.m. with a delicious high-tea spread.


Taking picture before the arrival of guests.



As usual, my friends of almost 20 years came with their loving family to celebrate the day with us.


I've ordered a "Football Cake" for DY as its his favourite toy. 
Look at my happy little boy! ^_^


As usual, finally managed to take a photo with all the kids looking at the camera after taking many many shots.

Screen print this from the video clip, hence explaining the blur.

 DY was enjoying his fruits while..

ZY ate the "ball"...

ZY was more eager to open the presents than the birthday boy. But I insisted that DY should have the privilege of opening his own presents while Jie Jie assisted him.

ZhiYu's 6th Birthday Party (at school)

The day that ZY has been waiting for has finally arrived! My 6 years old girl has been telling me how she wants to celebrate in school, what party gifts to prepare and even the dress she wants to wear to school!

Since her wish is my command (ahem...at least on her birthday), I painstakingly hand-pumped 26 pieces of the balloon sticks (to be honest, ZY helped alot), make her dream cake (I took a shortcut by ordering a plain cake from Bengawan solo), and search high and low for a matching pokka dots dress.

So here it is..








As usual, we went to Swenson Restaurant for the complimentary birthday firehouse sundae. This is definitely a very sweet and colourful birthday celebration for my pretty and sweet-looking girl ^_^

The Cake (ZY wishes To Have..)

ZY has a sweet tooth, just like her mummy. So when I asked her what type of cake she would like to have for her coming 6th birthday party in school, she told me firmly, "M&Ms!!"

So this is it, ZY's dream cake, I even added Kit Kat to bring the already sugar-loaded cake to another level. (I googled and found this cake pattern)

Dad's 70th Birthday

We celebrated my dad's 70th birthday today. As he has yet to recover from his operation and radiation, we did not celebrate his birthday in a restaurant with our relatives as planned. We had our dinner at a Japanese restaurant and came home to cut the cake.



Wishing my dad "福禄东海,寿比南山"

New Year Outing

We visited the zoo on New Year day. It was a cloudy and windy day, just the kind of day I like to be outdoor! We reached there at about 9.30a.m and the place was not crowded as I expected a public holiday to be. ZY who has been to the zoo many times became the unofficial tour guide, while DY, who came here the second time, was super excited!

(So disappointed with these photo as they were taken by MW's iPhone4s)






Up close and personal with the blood sucking bats!



Watching the "Animal's Friends Show".

DY was so happy to spot his favourite animal, DOGS!


ZY touching the very well-behaved star of the show.


Saying Bye Bye to the "White-Tiger Elephant". We will be back!
