ryan's 2nd birthday cake design

family photoshoot no. 2!

my groovy boy!




it's a 1st march 2008 saturday morning as we head down to bugis for our 2nd family portrait. pretty apt as ryan's gona turn 2 in 2 weeks! mummy decided that we should dress in jeans and a white top. brought mickey and pluto along (frm HK disneyland, bought by grandparents from both sides) since they were part of the pic taken a year ago. how our boy has grown since! the make-up artist wanted to do up ryan's hair but i firmly rejected!! OMG! the entire shoot took 2 hours and we were trying soo hard to get ryan to be in position or rather to smile at the camera amidst running ard and ransacking the toys they provided. we moved between 2 studios but we prefered the white background over the green! nice pic of my groovy boy who NEVER fails to dance to any music being played anywhere! just 2 days ago, he went on his own up a stage near the coffeeshop near mama's place (palm gardens) and started line dancing which gong gong has been teaching him! wat a sight! he went forward, backward, did a turn with hands moving to an invisible beat! he dozed off in the car and had a long nap before we went over to daddy's parents place for dinner.

Barney put me to sleep...

16th January 2008

It was 8.15pm and Ryan climbed onto the massage chair after gesturing to mummy that he wanted to watch Barney...

Yup, the little one knows and is pretty good at demanding for whatever he wants!

Mummy plays the vcd for him and within 10 minutes, the rascal had dozed off!!! Haha!

Just look at the rascal with his ah-bu (bolster) slumped in the massage chair comfortably...

Conrad, anyone?

23rd December 2007

We stayed over at Conrad hotel today and it was SUPERB!!! The room, pool, service, people, etc...

Mummy gives them 5 stars!!! Or should it have been 6?? Anyway, just know that it was a really memorable stay overnight at the executive suite which we were upgraded to! Hehe..

Ryan had a good time, of course! Just look at him amusing himself with the complimentary apples and teddy bear...

A fantastic stay overall!

You can't run now!

29th November 2007

Mummy went to town today and managed to find the backpack leash at Taka...was delighted when I realised that it wasn't as expensive as I had expected it to be.

Of course, I immediately bought Ryan's favourite animal, the cow and let him try it on the minute I got home...

Amazingly, he LOVES it! He even wanted me to put it on him even when I wanted to remove it and insisted that I bring him 'Gai Gai'! Hahaha...

Well, at least mummy can set her mind at ease knowing that it's a good buy and it's going to be fully utilised during our trip to HK! Hahaha!

Is it really cold?

26th November 2007

Mummy decided to let Ryan try out a hat meant for winter...just look at the mischievous look on the rascal's face!

And of course, you would have noticed that he still has his all-time indispensable choo-choot in his mouth! Hai! What's mummy to do????

Feeding time

25th November 2007

Sunday again and here's Ryan feeding himself at Taka's nursery rm...

It's time to buy a waterproof bib for the little fella as mealtime can actually be very messy! Haha!

Getting ready for our trip!

13th November 2007

Yup! Ryan's trying out the winter wear in preparation for his first trip overseas!

The cap's really such a cutie even though it looks rather girlish for him (passed down from auntie Nicki, datz y)

Okay...I can do this on my own...

Tada! See mum, what did I tell you??

Oopss...and then again...who turned off the lights??

I just look so suave in my sweater, don't you think?

Masa Masa

7th November 2007

Ryan's found a new source of entertainment which daddy isn't exactly veryproud of actually...

Yup! The little fella's into 'masa masa'!

Haha! He would just open one of the kitchen drawers and remove all the paper plates and plastic cups n forks and spoons.. what next? He would pretend to be scooping stuff into his cup and make it seem as if there's something to be eaten from the empty plates and cups!

It's pretty funny watching the little one up to his nonsense...

If you noticed, Ryan's still very reliant on his choo-choot!!! Sigh..what's mummy to do?

Mama's birthday

4th November 2007

It's ah-ma's bd celebration today (actual day is 6th Nov) n the whole family went to Hotel rendezvous for its famous nasi padang...

Mummy loved the food (it's not often that mummy eats nasi padang fyi)

Some pics to share...

That's ah-ma, gong gong and the entire entourage of grandchildren =)
