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 =)

SPICY!!!

22nd October 2007

It was a futile attempt once more to wean the rascal off his choo-choot! Ah-ma soaked Ryan's pacifier in chilli padi once more and the result was burning, red lips and lots of crying in addition to screaming!!!

The poor little fellow was tearing like crazy and mummy had to quickly try to soothe him by giving him ice cubes! It was also a form of distraction actually...he had so much fun playing with the cool ice! Of course, he also got easily irritated by the fact that the ice cubes melted pretty quickly and he wasn't able to pick them up so easily when they fell to the ground.

Just look at how red his lips are....my poor little rascal!



"Mmmm...this is cool!!!"

"Hey! Why can't I pick up the ice cube???"

Sigh, I guess I'll have to find another way to wean him off then....

Suggestions, anyone???

Sunday again...

21st October 2007

Sunday morning and we're off to church with ah-ma and gong gong.

Jiu Jiu and even Yi Yi attended the same mass after which the whole family headed to Ave 5 for breakfast.

Well, we were unaware that there was some Community Day going on there and there was a hype with reporters all over!

Why? Our PM Lee was there to grace the occasion! Yup! It was a pretty GRAND celebration with a sort of carnival going on at the cc as well.

Ian and Chrissy got to shake hands with the VIP and Ian seemed pretty pleased about it actually! Hahaha! Such a funny little fellow...went on his own to approach the PM and then he came back to our table and asked if he shook the right person's hand?? Hilarious I tell you!

Anyway, the kids had a fun time (though pretty short) at the carnival and there was even free popcorn! Ah-ma's all time favourite snack so she decided to queue up for it, insisting that she was getting it for Ian...hahaha!

Yup, our rascal got a taste of popcorn as well...just look at the glutton!

Oh, the poor little fellow was terrified of this inflated walking mascot thingy which was like HUGE...there were four of it going around and Ryan was simply frightened of those things! He would run towards me and expect me to carry him while he started to somewhat sob...

Morning over...I brought Ryan to watch his grandparents dance in the evening at Holland...some flea market thingy was being held and mummy's parents were going to line dance as part of entertainment I suppose...

Yup! That's Ryan looking at his grandparents from afar while they dance.

Gong Gong showing off his dance moves...

Ryan with his all time favourite... BALLOON!!!

Daddy's parents are busy again...

20th October 2007

Mummy and ah-ma brought Ryan to Novena church this morning and had breakfast with jiu jiu and family...

Gong Gong wasn't with us because he went to attend the opening ceremony of uncle Albert's new branch of 'Trumpet Praise' at Parkway Parade...

Anyway, mummy decided to bring ah-ma shopping in town since we were so near...

Our buys:

Ah-ma got herself a pair of shoes and mummy got quite a roomy bag from LeSportsac to dump Ryan's stuff when we go out... hhhmmm... I'm sure it'll come in very handy when we travel to HK at the end of the year!

Anyway, I decided to bring Ryan to his other grandparents' house in the evening for them to play with him again and I finally remembered to snap a few pics of the rascal in action with the numerous tennis balls in daddy's room!

I'm guessing his grandparents are tired out by the little one by now! Hahaha!

Dinner with mummy's friends

19th October 2007


Mummy met up with her girl friends this evening for dinner and the little one got to join in as well...

Auntie Gerardine, Huimin and pretty jie jie Nat decided to dine at Din Tai Fung Paragon and Ryan got to have a variety of our food for his supper...well, he already had his dinner at home at around 4plus so yup, this should be considered supper! Haha!

It was really good that jie jie Nat was around as Ryan seemed to be entertained by her and even auntie Gerardine felt that it was good that both of them had each other for company!


Dinner was a little disruptive, all thanks to Ryan, but we coped fine... I think I have auntie Huimin (aka my maid) to thank for helping me out during dinner! Hehehe! She's going to be a fantastic mum, I tell you!


Anyway, it was pretty cute seeing Ryan so attached to his jie jie so quickly at the dinner table...

Why I say attached??

Well, jie jie Nat wanted to go to the toilet during dinner and so on her way out, the little one couldn't bear for her to leave and stretched out his hand and started calling 'Jie Jie!' pretty loudly! Auntie Huimin and I were obviously amused by his actions!

Well, I'm glad that he enjoyed jie jie's company last night!


Auntie Meiling only joined us later and we headed to the NYDC outside the Heeren for some dessert..mmmm...mummy had some brownie freeze thingy was *slurp* super sinful!!!


Yup! Mummy needs to exercise! Sigh...but I wonder if I'll ever be disciplined to even start!


My only form of exercise currently?


SHOPPING!!! Haha! The most enjoyable but most expensive of course!!


I'm pretty sure daddy dreads hearing this word since mummy's really GOOD at her only form of exercise! Hahahahahaha!


Anyway, take a look at the pics I took of the 2 children at the dinner table...

Yup! I'm pretty sure the both of them had a good time last night!
