Edelweiss Sports Day 2013!!!!

We were really looking forward to the Sports Day today. And the day before the Sports Day (which is on Friday), little boy was still happily explaining and telling me the activities that he will be participating in. But he turn sob-by before he went to sleep on Friday night and kept telling me that he doesn’t want to go to the Sports Day on Saturday. The fact that I was feeling quite snappy and short tempered lately, I did not really talk to him and just told him not to think so much and just sleep first.

Morning comes, he was cranky and sobbing and exclaiming that he doesn’t want to go, this in turn make my temper flare as we were rushing for time. (Actually this is not the first time that he is sobb-by…. recently he had been telling me that he doesn’t want to go swimming or other enrichment lessons. Thus you can imagine all the drama he will perform whenever I drag him to all these lessons. But the fact that I still insists that he attends these classes is because he do enjoys the lessons as what I had talk to the teachers and what they had feedback to me.  So in conclusion, we think he is having separation anxiety, reason being that he is feeling insecure as my delivery date drew closer and closer. All along Javier has been very close to me and I guess he do feel that my attention will not be on him anymore once the little one arrives.)

But I can finally heave a sign of relief as we reached the Sports Day Venue. He started reverting back to this bubbly self when he sees his friends.

So I shall bring you the fun and enjoyable times that we had through the pictures that I had snapped today. (smiling)

The Sports Day was held in the Republic polytechnic Agora Hall, this is the first time that I had stepped into this place, it certainly is big and environments is good!

Without further ado, let see the pictures!!!!!

Update: Javier Swim lesson

Currently, Javier is into his 3rd month of swimming class – 9th lesson. He  is progressing well in his swimming lesson, but he still show some reluctant-ness  when it is time for his swimming lesson. In order to divert his attention, I am grateful for the bigger kids playing with him to lessen his fear when it is time for his lesson. He do enjoy playing water a lot, but that could not be said when it comes to swimming lesson. 

FIL Birthday Lunch

We had a simple lunch at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck @ Paragon to celebrate my FIL birthday. It’s always a joyous affair to dine with the close one. ^^ The food is good especially the Peking Duck, just that the meal duration was abit rush as we got to finish our meal in 1.5hrs due to the fact that the business was so good, the restaurant got to set a time limit for the lunch duration.

This photo showing a grumpy Javier, but he is actually quite happy there, just that he was a teeny bit reluctant to take this picture as we get me a smile a couple of times to take a good shot. (laughing)


Finally it’s time for the cake to make the appearance!!!! Of course, the kids were looking forward to blowing out the candles for my FIL. (^0^) And that marks the end for them, they were not keen to eat it at all claiming that the cake has a sour taste, but nevertheless we enjoy the cake, though it do taste abit too sour for my taste bud. 

Happy Teachers’ Day!!!!! (=^0^=)

As the children celebrate this special day with their teachers. I would like to show my deep appreciation to all the teachers whom have guided my boys along the way. A great teacher not only share the  knowledge with the kids, but also take care and shower them with love as they slowly blossom. I am glad to say that my blessed boys have met so many great teachers along their schooling way and they really enjoy going to school everyday.

We prepared a small token of appreciation for JJ’s teacher and the boys were eager to make simple cards to go with the card.

Thus as you can see from below, our card making session turns into a much fun, amusing and enjoyable activity session for the boys. I guess it is never bored with the boys around… ok,, I got to say that sometimes they do drive me crazy when they go overboard with the playing. (signing)

These are the stuffs we prepared for our gift. I got the sweet little bag from Daiso for putting the Rocher Chocolate. Beside that, there is the cutter, stamp for our card making.  

The boys have so much fun using these cute stamper to stamp out the words!
Cute cards made by the boys.
Finally, these are our gift bags ready for shipment!!!!!!
When I get them to pose with their work, both of them couldn’t stopping giggling and fooling around. They were telling me that they feel like they are going marketing carrying this bag. (Ahahahaha……)

Lastly, some serious shots of them when they stop their nonsense for a mere 5 seconds.

And the monkey-ing episode starts again!…….

Before I end this post, we would like to thanks all teachers for their dedication in nurturing the kids and last but not least a Very Happy Teacher's Day to all!

MIL Birthday Lunch

I have been feeling a tad lazy and busy recently which explained the lack of update on my blog. But I really wanted to jot down this happy occasion, thus I decided to drag myself to write up this post before I totally forgot about it.

Today my MIL celebrate her 62th birthday! We had a birthday lunch at Li Bai Restaurant @ Sheraton Hotel. The food was ok but I was a too lazy to whip out my camera to snap any pictures of the food until the cake cutting.

The yummy mango cake is from Pine Garden which I personally feel that it tasted quite nice, but my boys wasn’t too keen on it claiming that the cream was a tad too sour for their taste. (*_*)

While we were enjoying the cake, we took a few attempts to take a decent shots with my boys but some do really turn out eemmm……. COMICAL!!! ^^

Of course, here’s a family portrait before we end our lunch and also my post!!!! (^0^)

Happy 48th Birthday, Singapore!!!!!!

The boys had an early National Day Celebration in school today. Both of them seems to be in a joyous mood….. because there is a long weekend awaiting them!!!! But sad to say, well it is not for me, D is flying off again on Saturday leaving me alone with my 2 monkeys. (Sob Sob)

Catching the Fireworks

National Day is fast approaching, and we always bring the boys to see the fireworks as they love it a lot. We would have love to go to the NDP show, but just that luck has not been with us for these few years  … years after years (to be precise 5 years… ahaha), we have been trying our luck and hoping to get tickets to attend the NDP show but quite unluckily, we did not succeed. So to get a glimpse of the fireworks, we make a trip down to Bay East Garden this evening. When we arrived, many people were already waiting eagerly for the fireworks.

Bento #70 Maruko Sandwich Bento

Maruko is the main character of Japanese anime Chibi Maruko-chan.  She is lazy, disorganized and usually late for school. I love to watch this anime when I was young and it always make me laugh, looking at the way she talks which is so funny and cute. I used to be a avid manga fan before I had Jayden, my collection of manga (aka comics) do give people a shock when they enter my study room. (laughing) And actually I do still read abit of manga now when I am free. ^^
