Photos By BabyStudio aka Daddy Dearest

Below are some nice unedited photos taken by my Daddy dearest on last Sun. While he is setting up the studio ready for his customers coming in the afternoon, he couldn't resist taking some pics for me.


About BabyStudio.
Photography has been my daddy's passion for several years. Daddy started out doing some wedding and charity assignments, until my arrival switched his focus on babies & tots photography. He is a freelance photographer and the studio is located at our place. However rest assured that been freelance and a home-base studio does not compromise the quality of my daddy's photos as justified by his portfolio.

P/S: after my photo shooting, mummy brought me to visit lil Jerral & my godparents. We had a wonderful time with them whole day. Tks Godpapa Gunny & Godma San for your time & lunch plus dinner treats. So nice to see my Jerral finally walking on his own. ^_^

Visit to Animal Resort Today

This morning, daddy rent the van & took us to Animal Resort.

We've Aunty Veron and Uncle Jeral joining us for this outing as well. We had a wonderful time though the weather is pretty hot & mosquitoes keep biting my parents. I have to admit that I'm scared of most animals there.. e.g. the hungry goats that keep aiming at the food that the visitors have.The resort is pretty small and we finish the outing within an hour. Then we proceed to AMK hub for JAP lunch together. Sharing our pics below.

Voila!! Extrance of the Animal Resort




Starting our excursion in the resort

Hmm.. are they geese or some types of huge birds that can swim too?




Look on how dogs enjoying their manicure & pedicure

OK, I must observe carefully

Swimming Trip at Yishun Safra again

.. It has been months since my last swim in Jan'08 during my visit to Vernice's. Guess what?? Yesterday is a fine weather... When I awoke from my nap (12.30pm - 4.00pm), mummy asked me if I want to go for swimming. I immediately answer her, "YES"!!! So she quickly packed my barang & off we head to Yishun Safra club on our OWN, just 2 of us.

Imagine I enjoying my stroller ride while she carry my barang, pushing my stroller & puff during the another 20 min walk after we alighted from Yishun mrt station. Of course! I also helped her by carrying my own blow-up float. By then we reached there, it is about 5.30pm. When I first saw the pools, I all lighted up and smiles. Now, I can waddle in the baby pool on my own without much support from mummy's. I also love to hit the water to make BIG splash around me. I even dip my head into water to try blowing bubbles just like mummy did. I'm indeed a WATER BABY! I love swimming and being in water.

By then we finished showering, it is already 7pm. Mummy fed me my porridge dinner at Safra. By then we reached home, it is already 8pm plus. Mummy & I were dead tired .... BUT we enjoyed our swimming trip a lot. Tks mummy!

Below are some snapshots using mummy's phone camera.
Too bad she unables to capture my new swimsuit this time.. maybe next time again.

Happy Mother's Day - Outing at Sembawang

After my hearty lunch, I went off with mama & gong gong & left my parents enjoying their lunch. Mummy also cook my congee for my dinner & store it in a thermal pot before they went off to enjoy the movie, IronMan showing at 1.30pm.

~ It is quite an entertaining movie with thrilling storyline & which my parents enjoyed it.

After their movie, they went to NTUC to stock up 5 tins of GAIN IQ formula milk powder which is selling at promo $23.70/per tin. I drank a lot and use up a tin of 900g within a week but FM price keep increasing & this is going to burn a big hole in their pockets ever since Mummy stop her bf career. Sigh..

Then, they went to fetch me from Mama's place and fed me my dinner first. We went for a stroll & pic taking again. This time, we went to visit the Munchy Donut cafe that just newly opened near Sembawang HDB hub. DONUTS!!!! my mummy's fav.
OK.. sharing below pics that we've taken yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello... Anyone missing my updates??
Our family are coping fine though we are grieved with my great mama's death & mummy is not in the mood to update my blog. Besides, she been busy over last week with chores/work.

My mummy has already been temp SAHM for past couple of days & handling my whims & tantrum. But she is determined to keep me back on track & I better behave & listen to her. *Still remember, she handles me on her own for my 1st 3 months esp during her terrible confinement period.* Guess.. this time should not be daunting on her. We are proud to say that she has once again proven her multi-task abilities, handling daily hsechores, preparing my meals, bbsit me & bring me out for outing /gathering on some days. On top of that, she can whip up simple homecook dinner for my daddy. Not an easy task but she will learn to do better each day by filling my days with interesting activities.


Today, we like to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day to all mommies & godmas. This is my 2nd time, celebrating this special day. Think all mommies should deserve a good break on this day. As we are back fm a man-yue party late last night, mummy and I slept all the way till 9.30am. Bravo!!! As I seldom sleep past till this time for a long time. Daddy feed/bath me & give me cake to munch for my breakfast. Soon after, Mama & Gong Gong popped over to visit me. They agreed to bbsit me for few hours in the afternoon, so that Daddy can bring Mummy to SunPlaze for movie, IronMan. Big thanks to my mama & gongong.

Sharing our pics below.

A Day of Remembrance for my Beloved Great Grandma

[this is going to be a sad post today]

on 1st May 2008 today....
we woke up early and reach SGH to visit my beloved great grandma at 8.30am.

We been looking forward to her discharge on last Mon/Tues but her condition has suddenly worsened on last mon night. She has been in coma since Mon night and has diffculty in breathing. During the past 3 days, she has been on the life saving support device. All her immediate family members & relatives are gathered around her bedside today, to pay her last visit & hope there is miracle to happen.

However, she finally passed away peacefully around 1pm. With an heavy heart, we know that we are going to miss her badly but at the last time we glad her pain & agony are finally over. Though I've known my great grandma for 17th month.. I'm glad that she has seen me through from an newborn baby to a walking toddler.

[Silent prayers for my beloved great grandma]

* My great grandpa passed away in Nov 2006, just about 2 weeks before my arrival. I'm sad that I never get the chance to meet him. My parents will tell me more of them the next time when I am older.
