22nd June '08 - our mini family gathering

22nd June'08 ..
... Finally a mini family gathering with all my godma(s), godpapa & Jerral @ our home. It has been a while since our last gathering & we are glad that everyone takes time off their busy schedule to make it. We had some yummy dishes from 'golden pillow', steamed chicken wings & almond jelly and jap tibits etc.

Daddy also help us to shoot some nice photos for us too.
Below are some nice & unedited photos for my godpapa, godma(s) & Jerral for their sneak preview 1st.

Look at my tee!!! I was so happy wearing my 1st customized name tee esp designed & made by Godma San. I was supposed to be her model showcasing her masterworks but I keep moving around, unable to stay still. Godma, wanna to consider changing your in house model? Boo Boo!!!

After our hearty lunch, I started to get grouchy for my pm nap

Haa.. My 'ugly' crying face being captured on this group pic while crying for my nap.

I finally agreed to another group photo but in a sleepy pose.
I was finally whisked off for my pm nap after this pose.




My three pretty godma(s) who look so happy and youthful just like fairygodmothers being told in the story tales.

A group pic of my pretty godma(s) & mummy vs Sex & the City.
Haa but their characters are so far from the Sex & the City. Their friendship has indeed come so far as they have known one another since their poly times.

Awoke from my nap & we are both dressed in the piggy rompers to show off our small wriggle tails

Godsis & Godbro - cheesy pose

My Parents' 7th Dating Anniversary

20th Jun '08 ~ is my daddy & mummy's 7th dating anniversary.

They start dating on this date from 2001 onwards..
... Daddy proposed to Mummy on 18th Sep 2002
... they got ROM on 12th Nov 2002..
... Followed by their stay in France for 2 sweet yrs (Nov '02 - Nov '04)
... held customary wedding/dinner on 18th/19th Sep 2005
... Followed by my arrival on 26th Nov 2006

Yesterday, I was left under Mama's care whole day while Mummy & Godma Flo went to Vivo City/ Keppel Bay Tower to collect our new digital camera, IXUS 90 IS. As mentioned before, our old digital camera is spoilt and not worth repairing as it will cost us est $180. The service person advised us to 'upgrade' our camera. After searching some new models, we finally set our eyes on IXUS 90 IS.

We paid $452 nett for this new camera by trading in our old spoilt camera. Besides, we also got free gifts like a 4GB memory card & a mini camera bag with accessories.

~ Presenting our new camera below (pic taken from Canon website) ~

P/S: Daddy came to Shaw Center to meet Mummy after his work. Mummy treated Daddy to yummy Chongqing Spicy steamboat buffet ($18/person) at one coffeeshop just opp Shaw Center. It is their 1st attempt and indeed the soup very spicy and hot. Luckily, they went early coz the queue was getting very long after they finished their meal. This is how they spent their special day. ^_^

Happy Papa Day!!!

This is my 2nd time celebrating Papa Day!!!
Previous night, I'm camping over at Mama's place.
Today, Mama & Gong Gong are bringing me out to attend my great ah ma 's relatives gathering at Changi, SIA club. Mummy brought over my yummy lunch before we left. She will stay over at our place to help out Daddy for his shooting sessions of the day.

Below are the pics taken after my outing & finally home sweet home.
All are my tired looks as I've missed my afternoon nap, hee.

~ Dressed up dainty for the gathering outing ~

Keep sucking my yummy thumb as this is a sign that I'm very tired indeed




Another thumb sucking pose.. OOPS!

Hungry for my dinner ~ mouth opened wide to gobble my yummy porridge!

There I go ... a very satisfied look after my hearty dinner!

We did not go anywhere to celebrate for Daddy on this special day & mummy promised to make it up to him the next time!! After my hearty dinner, we went over to my AH Ma's place for steamboat dinner. Tonight, I was so tired that I slept early at 7.40pm.

My 1st Movie, KungFu Panda

Today is a beautiful Sat..
It is also our FAMILY DAY outing ..
coz today I do not have shichida class (the class is closed for term break & lesson will resume next week). Daddy has got us free tickets to watch KungFu Panda movie @ Vivo City, 10am show. Mummy wakey early to cook my yummy lunch & got my barang prepared & packed. We will be having a long outing for the entire day itself. So mummy woke me up at 8.10am and washed & dressed me up pretty. Off we went heading to our destination & enjoying my morn milk in the van. But we faced a heavy traffic jam along our way & luckily we still make it just on time for the show.

During the 1st 30 min of the show, I indeed behaved good & enjoying my snacks & drink. However, I started getting restless and start playing with popcorns and moved around. During the last 20 min, Daddy even had to carry me to the back of theatre. Mummy did enjoyed the movie thoroughly as it is very funny. Do catch it with your kids! It is my very 1st experience going to movie & watching the big screen though most of the time I did not watch it.

After movie, we went to Secret Recipe restaurant for lunch as my parents skipped their breakfast. They were indeed hungry. After our hearty lunch, I fell asleep while they shopped at Page bookstore & daddy got me 3 set of flashcards. Mummy has to work hard showing me those everyday and starting on Mon onwards. Hope it indeed useful and will improve my memory. We even bought a new wok (this time non-stick type) @ $99 from Tangs. Actually mummy got a new wok (stainless steel) @$69 from last Isetan Sales but she did not get the hang of it, ended up food keep sticking to the wok. So Daddy decided to get another new one with non-stick type for her uses.

Below are some snapshots that we managed to capture while shopping at Vivio.

~ Smiling happily while posing with mummy ~

~ Another happy & cheeky pose ~



~ My posing as though dancing in the air ~



~ Clapping happily ~

After the pic taking, we headed to Bugis Junction for another round of shopping trip & coffee break. By then we reached home, it is already around 7pm. We were totally dead tired after a long day outing. When Mama & Gong-gong came over to visit us, I insisted going back with them. This is considered a rare moment as I often prefer to sleep in my own bed. Maybe it is a form of rewarding my parents some couple time after a long day outing.

P/S: Guess what?? My parents did enjoyed their couple time by watching midnight movie, "Incredible Hulk" @ Sun Plaza. Thumbs Up for the movie! 5 star ratings out of 5.. full of action pack and computer & touching story.

Happy Sun Afternoon (Konnichiwa)

On 8th June, Daddy had some customers coming in for photo sessions. So we seek 'refuge' at Mama's place from late morning till after my afternoon nap. Daddy has been busy lately especially on weekend with photo sessions & mummy has to try all ways to entertain me.

Upon our return, daddy & mummy helped to clean up (vacumn/mopping & sterlising the toys/props) the house together while I look on. After the house chores, I was bathed and dressed in this nice jap costume. I've not been wearing this for a long time and this is a gift from my parents during their Tokyo holidays.

Guess that I must look Irresistible Cute that daddy has to whip out his camera to snap my Happy Moments again.

Our Happy Splash time!!

On 1st June cloudy afternoon, mummy brought me over to visit my buddy, Vernice. We started off playing happily with her kitchen set and then proceed to enjoy our splash time! We enjoyed playing with water & amused the adults so much. Mummy enjoyed watching our happy smiles when we are hard at play. Aunty Elaine & Uncle Tim, thanks for inviting us over for a fun playdate!

Presenting below our HAPPY PICS by courtesy of Aunty Elaine.

Hello!! That is my buddy, Vernice & I starting our happy splash time.

More Pretty Poses with Mummy Dearest!

1... 2 ... 3 .. [click, click]!!!!

Our Quick & Pretty poses that are captured by Daddy dearest just before mummy brought me out on her own, to attend my weekly shichida class @ Bishan.

Today, I'm dressed in my new pretty pinky floral Osh Kosh dress that mummy bought from BP recently. It is in sz 3T and can fit me just nice though this is meant for me to wear it end this year. But mummy afraids that I'll outgrow it, so better hurry and let me wear 1st. That is why she thinks that it is a better idea to buy my future dresses in sz 4T. My parents are thrilled to see my fast growing rate but the downside is that I tend to outgrown my pretty clothes pretty fast too. Haa.. I got to DECLARE that I do have a slender waist as till today I still can squeeze into my 6-12 mos shorts. Haa....

[Mummy prefer to choose dresses that are having below knee length i/o short dresses though I like showing off my 'sexy legs'.]

Voila.. presenting pretty pinky lil Hayley

More Updates on Me

LaLalalaaaa..
Many friends have been asking mummy why is there not much update on my blog lately. Well, actually we're fine & busy though these are not good enough as excuses for not updating my latest news.

The real fact is that our digital camera has been spoilt by me and hence, not many pics are taken during our weekend outings. Sometimes during the outing, my mummy travelled alone with just me, not possible for her to bring along my daddy's pro camera which is too heavy/bulky for her use. We even went to the Canon service center last week, to repair our digital camera but the repair will cost up to at least $180. Not worth and we need to wait and buy a brand new one instead.
** Hint hint, Daddy!!! faster buy a new digital camera pressie for mummy dearest.


Below are my pretty & happy pics took by mummy using camera phone, during our visit to Mama's.

~ Hugging my beloved Mama ~

~ Don't I look chic wearing the pretty outfit, carrying my mama's purse ~




~ Laughing happily coz I know there is enough $$ in the purse to buy me pretty stuff ~




~ Hee.. ok must act demure at least lah ~

~ I just cant resist laughing with joy ~

~ This is my mummy's fav photo that she took so far.. snapping my happy & pretty moment in style ~ Look like her skill has improved.

Hey there, shall we go for our breakfast now?

Dragging Mama to walk faster OR else Mummy going to faint from hunger!!
What a fun time we had just now with all the posing and laughing !!

A Playdate Session with Roy

Last Friday, we met up with Aunty Rachel & lil Roy at United Square for lunch. It has been a long time since our last meet up last year @ our home and lil Roy & I have grown a lot too. It is always a nice feeling to see some of my Dec bb friends and we've not been keeping in touch with many of them since our last big babies gathering last year.

Enjoying my ride in the 'Thomas the train' while waiting for Aunty Rachel & Roy to arrive

Another posy pic though the pic is not that clear as this is taken using my mummy's camera phone & I keep moving around. Oops we forgot to take a snap shot of Roy.. next time then.
