Nook – House of Pancakes

So maybe some of you can guess where we are going today!!! YES!!! We are going to Singapore’s first DIY pancake restaurant – NOOK House of Pancakes.  I guess many would have heard of this place, I first heard of it when my niece told me she is going to “make pancake”, but at that time I have no idea about this place yet. When I recently stumble upon other blogs mentioning about this place, I am very keen to bring my monkeys boys to visit this place because it looks so fun where we can design and make our own pancakes into any designs or  shapes which we want. When I told the boys we would be bringing them to make their own pancakes, I guess the more excited one is non other than Javier. He was practically jumping for joy, thinking of perhaps something creative which he can design later.

Dessert in JB City Square

Really miss the food in Teck Seng Restaurant in JB, thus the traffic Jam at Woodlands checkpoint wasn’t so bad, we made a trip in the afternoon for a satisfying meal at Teck Seng restaurant. After which, we made our way to City Square mall for some shopping, and so the boys got themselves books from Popular (just Fyi, books in JB popular is way cheaper as compared to Singapore popular, thus me and the boys would always pop by at popular when we are at JB), whereas I got myself 2 maternity shorts as my normal shorts are getting very tight and uncomfortable.

I happened to see 许留山 (the very popular dessert house in Hong Kong) Hui Lau Shan, known as famous Fresh Fruit Dessert. I first tried their dessert when I went on a holiday to Hong Kong a few years back and had wanted to try it again. So I was glad when I saw this shop today. Business was good with a short queue outside the shop, thus we brought the boys for some ice cream first, so that they would let us have some quiet moment later while we enjoyed our dessert.

Jayden’s Bronze Level Swimming Test

Sometime back in April, Jayden took his Bronze level swimming test. The test include life saving – throwing rope, breaststroke, backstroke, survival backstroke, freestyle and front & back flip. I am glad to see that he had done well in this test and he passed!!!!!!

In case you can’t spot Jayden, he is the one wearing blue shorts. (For bronze level test, the kid is required to put on a short sleeve tee and shorts)

Art Lesson–Drawing and Painting by Jayden

Initially I never intended to let Jayden attend this Art lesson, mainly because he wasn’t very keen and flatly told me “No, I don’t want to go Art Class”. But I was thinking since he goes with us when we send Javier for class, he is just wasting his time while we wait for Javier at the coffee shop. So I told him to just give it a try and if he is really doesn’t like it, then he will just stop attending the class.

Basically the weekly drawing theme is the same for both boys, just that Jayden’s drawing has much more details as compared to Javier’s.

Art lesson - Drawing and painting by Javier

The boys have been attending Art lesson for 7 months. These are the art pieces done by Javier. His painting has improve greatly as compared to when he just started. I am glad that he enjoy going to the Art Class and likes the teacher Ms Wong. (My funny boy always tell me this: “My teacher is not fierce, she is just being firm!”) Haha..


His mother’s drawing for me on Mother’s Day! He loves to draw five strands of hair on the people he drew, luckily he never drew this on me.   

Javier reading progress…

Currently we are still reading Peter and Jane series. Other time, he like to find books from the bookshelf and read himself.

A big changes on the way!!!!!
