CNY 2012

Been very very busy with no time to blog.

Chinese New Year this year came especially early this year.  Had a new project implementation on 1st January and have no time to prepare for CNY!

But manage to buy the Toy Story Alien Tees when daddy dragged us to the newly opened Changi Point Shopping Centre (something like that, its opposite Expo MRT).

On the first day, we went to the in law's place as usual.  This time round, both the cousins came, and finally, here is a picture which K looked like a big sister rather than a little girl (when taking photos with her maternal cousins, or friends, or peers, some of them are younger than her) :P



Sok sok (daddy's brother) brought 2 hamsters, and K was so excited.  She started off to stroke the hamster, and when she was given permission to carry it, she was very happy indeed.  Till now, she is still saying that her favourite animals are hamsters and Megan (see 3rd picture)

Squeezing the hamster into twice its breadth

Day 2 went to er yee yee's  place because we are getting a small study table from her, and also to see Megan, er yee yee's dog.

This year, Megan is abit braver (compared to last year which she shivered so badly and so long when she saw strangers in the house).  So after a while, K is able to take pictures with Megan!  Er yee yee even took her polaroid so that K can have some hardcopy memories to bring home.

After that, we went to si yee yee's house for more kinect before going to po po's place for dinner.

gosh, this picture looks so 70s in the pose.  San yee yee got a similar one taken 30+ years ago

Come weekend, and mommy met up with her secondary school friends again.  Auntie Pauline is going back to Australia so its one last round of catching up as we do not know when we will see her again.  Auntie Xiaowen is not feeling well and so Cheyanne did not come.  Nonetheless, the remaining kids have fun playing at Auntie Jiaen's place.



Now anyway to rotate all this pictures within blogger????

Chinese New Year 2011

Been so busy with work that I did not have time to upload the CNY pictures...

Firstly, below is the first human drawing (center of picture, with yellow face) that I have seen her draw.  And she said the figure drawn is mommy! :) When I asked her where are my hands, she put her hands behind her back to indicate that I have my hands behind (which is why she did not draw the hands).

Here are the updates for Chinese New Year....

Day 1 : went to yeye's place.  Kathleen has fun playing bubbles with her cousin...

Day 2 : went round the island visiting the different yee yee's house.

Vain mommy pasted glow-in-the-dark nail stickers on her fingernails and toenails ahahahah....

that wrinkled kneecap belongs to mommy...

Kathleen have a super fun time at er yee yee's place, cos they got a dog and the little girl was acting like a dog, jumping up and down and snatching Megan's (the dog) toys from her.  At first, Megan was very scared and was even shivering at the sight of so many people, but after a while, she warmed up and have a fun time with Kathleen and even chase after Kathleen when she walked away!

Po Po this year planted the red carrot using soil and it was blooming so nicely! :)

Day 3 : went to mommy's secondary school's house

And the neighbour's next door hired a lion dance troop (its an annual tradition) and so Kathleen gets a close up with the lion dance!

lion dance got truncated cos some kid block the side with his/her elbow.

After the house visitation, mommy brought Kathleen to a nearby field to play their newly bought kite.  Kathleen does not like her kite flying up high even though it was easy to do so with the strong winds.  She like her kite low and within reach! So mommy and Kathleen walked home with the kite just 1 meter above their heads (see picture below) and Kathleen was beaming because she is so happy (the window is so strong there is not much problem in getting the kite to fly even though we only release a bit of the string)

Unfortunately, Kathleen later snapped the stick supporting the kite so no more kite flying.... :(

The next weekend, daddy, mommy and Kathleen made their way to Sentosa to visit the annual flower exhibition.

Kathleen consulting the Sentosa map...

A picture of the stain glass on the roof taken by Kathleen

The area, as usual, is pretty small, which makes it easy to go without over-tiring, though the heat is abit unbearable, and the crowd is there.

Kathleen's favourite part is the cool mist coming out of the holes on the ground, not the flowers..

this looks more like easter bunnies (one of them have an egg) rather than year of the rabbit.

another of her favourite - the water shooting out of the strange sculptures.

We went over to Festive Hotel, and the flowers there are shaped in the 12 zodiac animals. Very nice!

Peep through the gates of Universal Studio and see Kungfu panda....

After that, we went back to mainland via the boardwalk which is hidden in one corner of the RWS area.  Nothing interesting, but Kathleen likes the travellator....
