Lo@W 2010 (15 jun 2010)

My office participated in this year Little Ones @ Work event organised by NTUC.

We engaged Hans Art workshop to carry out some coloring activities in the office. I am surprised to see charlie working on her coloring slow and steady. This is unlike what she is doing at home.

All the kids went home with 2 pieces of craft works. Look at all the happy faces.
Charlie enjoying herself at my workstation.

We have iron on beads for the afternoon activities. Charlie managed to do the heart shape all by herself. Another little achievement. While most of the other kids did pattern based on the shape of the plate, yy has the patience to study and work on pattern of irregular shape. Good job !
YY's first product - dino.
my colleague did this for charlie as she started to get sleepy after a busy morning.

east coast park (13 jun 10)

It is Levin's idea to make a kite and fly at East Coast park. So we are all "forced" to drag ourselves out from our comfort zone and stand under the hot sun at 10 + am.

We survived under the sun for abt 30 min before we surrendered and headed for the pavilion.

The kite did not manage to fly as there was no wind at all.

charlie loves the rides while poor yy got no view at all (blocked by levin).
We "survived" under the sun for abt 30 min at most before we headed for some shelter.
After which we went Orchard Road for some aircon shopping.

Bought a YOG pin for yy. Look at his satisfied smile :)

Charlie happily dancing and entertaining herself in the shop.

downtown east (8 june 10)

Another sch holiday activity. Visited Escape theme park at Downtown East today.

It has been drizzling the whole morning but we still went ahead as planned as the kids are so excited afterall this is the first time they visit the park.

Glad that we went, despite the fact that the park has to stop all the games for 15 min due to rain and it drizzled on and off throughout the whole afternoon. on the bright side, the weather is cooling and great for outdoor.

The park is rather small with limited rides. I am surprised to see little crowd despite it is school holiday now. We entered the park around 3pm and played for 4 consecutive hrs.

littering (4 Jun 10)

Whenever charlie saw litters on the floor, she will always comment that someone throw the rubbish on the floor and they should have throw it in a dustbin instead. I did mention to her the importance of not littering but I have no idea why the thought sinks into her head so deeply.

One day on our way home with both the kids, there was some rubbish on the floor at my void deck (it a common sight). As usual, Charlie commented on it. I casually asked her what if the rubbish bin is full. Guess what are the replies from them.

yy replied first. He said put on top of the dustbin. Then charlie said "no, find another dustbin".

With a simple scenario, charlie seems to be thinking more complex then yy. While yy is more straight forward in his thought. Looking at the bright side, charlie is smarter in ways of life (proven many times too) but on the other hand, she is really a tough nut to control. I am already having problem getting her to listen and she has made her daddy so angry once that levin refused to speak to her for one full week. Can u imagine that !

A visit to the Senoko Fishery Port (6 June 10)

Today I woke up at 430am. I went to the Senoko Fishery Port. I saw many clams and fishes like stingray and sharks. There are many baskets of clam.

Daddy, mummy and I went to the Senoko Fishery Port.

There are many fishes like promfets.
Each stalls has a weighing scale. Their weighing scales are blue and green in color.
These are the fishes we eat for lunch and dinner. This is a small fish.
The stingray's tail is very long.

After we left the fishery, we went for breakfast.

Look ! I am eating traditional breakfast with toasted bread and egg. Mmmm....... it is so delicious.

This is a video of me and papa. Papa cracked the egg while I digged the egg out from the shell.

And we have fun.

charlie's first sleepover (1-2/june 10)

yy went to janice's house for sleepover. This round, charlie went too. She was a bit "confused" at the beginning as she gave me a different reply each time I asked. In the end, she wanted to stay when we reached there and I am more than happy to "send" her away for a night :)

Accordingly to mummy's yi yi, she was pretty all right except a few occasions when she cried and fussed over things. But guess what, when I asked her if she wants to go again. I'm surprised that she dont want and she told me no fun. haha. Not up to her expectation :P
