Chinese New Year - Reunion Meals

CNY is ushering in 1 more day... according to our ancient Chinese tradition, family must 'tuan yuan' and has reunion dinner together on CNY eve. Luckily, daddy & mummy not working today. Though this early morn, daddy went to take his exam & pass his paper with flying colors.
Upon his return, we went over to Mama's place for reunion lunch. I was dressed in a pretty floral jumpsuit which my godma Flo got it for me when I was still a newborn baby. We had a good time over there. Coz my parents are snacking happily on yummy goodies and everyone enjoying their lunch in comfort during my nap.

Sharing below HAPPY OUTDOOR SNAPSHOTS which we took during our way home. (the pics is taken in a vacant green field near mama's home, sssshhh tell you a secret, I don't like walking on the grasses coz I dun dare to move around as though my feet glued to the grass and makes my daddy's job easier)

Broke my zzzzz record again

Yes, I broke my sleeping record last evening. At about 5.30pm, I dozed off on my high chair during my fav dvd show, "Baby Can Read". All this while, mummy is busy preparing my fav 'treasure' steam egg (I call it treasure as it contains lots of yummy loots like carrot + veg + minced chicken) & plain scallop porridge. To my parents' dismay, I kept throwing tantrum & crying when I was being awoke to have my dinner. I keep sobbing with tears even they changed my heavy diaper and my clothes into sleepwear.

In the end, Daddy got to cuddle/calm me back to sleep on their big bed after all the fuss. While I'm sleeping, my parents were very scared and worried that I may awake in the middle of night. Hence, my mummy try to budge me on and off but I still continue sleeping like a log. So I slept and really slept all the way from abt 6pm in the evening till this morning, 7am. I've skipped my dinner and 240ml of milk feed .. my parents were awe with amazement that they have a peaceful sleep too. Phew!! a big relief. It has been pretty long since I've slept like 12-13 hrs.

This morning, I awoke with a big SMILE and feel so refreshed from a long sleep. Horray!

Kindermusik Trial Class at NorthOak

This morn, I wakey at 0630am & woke my mummy up. Poor mummy has to drag herself out of bed, to entertain me so that daddy can continue to sleep. Later on, she specially made me a bowl of steam egg with cherry tomatos for my **breakfast special. I also had an early lunch (banana oatmeal) at 10.20am. After my quick lunch, I & mummy are rushing to take bus 962 @ Sun Plaza, to attend the trial Kindermusik class (11.30am) at NorthOak. My dear daddy staying at home to help to do house chore while we are away.

A hot weather indeed & mummy got to sling me all the way, to reach our destination. We did wait a long time for the bus to come. Though the facility of the class is held at a residence home and the teacher took long to recall the dance steps, I was enjoying myself a lot with loads of giggles and fun. I love music and adore mixing with other kids and my buddy, Vernice. This reminds my mummy's.. of my fun time during my 1st trial kindermusik class at Tanglin's. After the class, both Uncle Tim & Aunty Elaine send us back to Sun Plaza, to have lunch together at Mos Burger. I had a fun time playing with Vernice while the adults (includes my daddy) 'enjoying' their lunch.

After their lunch, I dozed off from Mos Burger till all the way home and only waky at 4pm plus. Guess I'm too exhausted from all the fun earlier on. After my afternoon milk, mummy specially cooked me a big bowl of yummy and nutritious fish cum assorted veg porridge as my dinner.

.::. Conclusion : mummy rather to sign me up at Kindermusik Tanglin provided they has a slot for us after cny festival season. Despite the distance, she found the facility over there is much better. Or we can form a private group class/term, in one of wkend morn if we can gather at least 11 tots. Interested friends, pls ask yur mummy to inform mine. Hee hee

Besides, mummy also has signed me onto the waiting list for JG. Hope I can get in during their term starting in June.

P/S: Thumbs UP to daddy dearest for doing the hse chore while we away!

Happy & Fruitful Thursday Morn!

Happy Thurs Morn!!!
coz dearest Mummy is on urgent leave, taking care of me as Mama is not feeling well today. We are wakey early and after my beauty shower, we had a morn walk to Sun Plaza to have breakfast at Mcdonald's.
Sharing below freshly hot pics taken just now.

... I'm checking to ensure mummy's wallet has $$$ before we embark on our morn walk.

~ I'm wearing another fav dress which is sz 3-6 mos and surprising till today I still can wear it. Initally the dress is quite long & roomy on me last time but now the length is reaching above my knees and fit me so nice. Ever since I can walk, mummy love to dress me in pretty dresses which makes me look more girlie. I cant wait to wear my new CNY dresses. ~

Happy Me walking with mummy to Sun Plaza, stopping for a cherry pose!

Another Happy Pose, cant you see I really enjoy my morn walk..




We are enjoying our breakfast at Mcdonald.

Gong Xi Gong Xi - trying out my new cny outfit

After my morn milk..
just as I was wandering around the living room while mummy sorting out my new cny dresses and outfits to wash together with my bedsheets. She found this pretty traditional cny costume outfit which Godma San bought for me during her HK work trip. At first, she thought the skirt may be a bit big for me, so she tried it out on me. In the end, we realised it fits me so nice and fitting. Initially, my parents planning to let me wear the new babygap blue dress on 1st day of CNY. Since this outfit looks so pretty on me, maybe mummy going to let me wear this outfit on instead. Mummy also got a new blue cardigan, to fit my blue outfits, looks like Daddy is going to get a new blue shirt. So that we can have a 'Family Blue theme' during our outing on CNY's 1st day.

By the way, I also learnt how to do the 'gong xi gong xi' gesture. Hope by doing so, I can get more ang pows from relatives during cny visiting. Thanks to Daddy's patience guidance. Sharing below happy pics trying out the pretty outfit just now.

~ Posing happily trying out my new outfit over my sleepwear ~



~ Ok, another demure pose, don't you agree that I look so pretty and sweet in this traditional outfit? ~



~ My happy smiling pose.. to kick off yur lazy Sun morn ~


P/S: Godma San, you really have a good taste in fashion. We like this outfit very much esp the col & styling since it looks so unique from the usual outfits we've seen selling in sg. Not only that, we also like the pretty dragonfly dress you got for me too. I feel very lucky to have so many pretty clothes and mummy feels so fortunate to have a girl like me to doll up.

A Morn Walk in our New Park

A Lazy Sunday for us today..
We laze at home to restore our energy esp for my dear parents..
coz tomor is the starting of dreadful working week again.

This morn, we went to explore our newly opened park, Montreal Green which is within ten mins walk from our home. This time, I got to walk all the way there with my parents' help without stroller. The park is full of laughters and giggles from the happy children playing here and there. We had a fun time, enjoying our morn walk in the new park though the weather is very humid and sunny. Here are my happy snapshots that we like to share. ^_^


~ Love from me to you, Hayley ~

~ an overall happy collage showing me enjoying my walk ~

~ I was roaming around at my freewill and overwhelmed by the big park ~



~ after roaming, time to seek shelter for shade and rest my little legs before I embark on next adventure ~

~ Enjoying our walk along the long 'bridge' with mummy holding my lil' hand, to ensure I wont fall into the side edges ~

~ Happy pose and I indeed enjoy the walk.. I also ended up sweaty and hot from the sun and walking ~


OK, time to go home for a refreshing shower and my yummy lunch!
Till next time, I'll definitely come back to the park again!

My 2nd last lesson at MYGYM

Hi all,
Times really flies! I'm about to finish my term at MYGYM and next sat 1/26 will be my last lesson. We truly enjoyed the activities as my parents able to accompany me during the lesson. Usually, other schools only allow 1 parent to accompany the child. Due to the time slot we've chosen, it is considered low peak with lower no of babies, thus enables both parents to come in together with the child. We also like the friendly teachers as well.

Mummy also has plans for my next upcoming lesson. Remember, I did enjoyed kindermusik during the my 1st trial? This time, she has signed me up for another trial class at Kindermusik which is near Admiralty. If I can stay still during the trial class this time, she is going to sign me up for 1 term to try out. I always have a soft spot for music and will rock when music is ON.

Besides, mummy also try to sign me up for the playgroup (18 mos - 3 yrs old) at JG for term starting in June. Who knows after trying few days to get though the person in charge, she was informed that there are a long waiting list and we still need to pay abt $38 (non-refundable) in order to qualify to be on the waiting list. So unbelievable, right?

Alright, PICS PICS & VIDEO that we took today and sharing with you all. ^_^

~ Love From Sweet Hayley ~

~ my happy posing during fun swing time which I looks fwd ~

~ Video taken during the separation time (whenever teachers start taking out the toys, I will automatic walk over on my own and start playing)

~ After the lesson, we went to the thai cafe downstairs to have our early dinner as daddy & mummy skipped their lunch earlier on. I had yummy homecooked chicken porridge which mummy brought along. * For my lunch, I had something special - chicken mee sua which mummy use veg stock for the soup base , very yummy and I like it at my 1st attempt.

Re-training to call MAMA

My poor mummy has been slogging late since Nov till today, due to her change of account & more new accounts this time. You may think she is getting her promotion soon and which we hope so, as it means more $$ to our current income. However, this is not going to be the case for her. Coz she learnt yesterday though her supervisor, they will try to promote her later this year or ... (who knows? it may be a false hope too). Mummy been very stressed over her work, even brought home work to do and check her office emails from home nearly everyday. Another sad fact is that most of the time, she cant tuck me to bed every night for the past 2 weeks. Luckily, daddy is on course & ables to reach home early to look after me.

I also been breaking my mummy's heart by not calling her. I would always call "PAPA" loving and makes my mummy 'jealous'. So Daddy been re-training me to call "MAMA", to make Mummy happy. Sharing below video with you all.

(oops sweaty me playing hide and seek while daddy filmed me, just before my bedtime)

Visiting my great grandma ^_^

Horray!! my great grandma finally discharged from hospital yesterday.
So this morn when I woke up at 8am, my mummy gave me my milk while she rushed to cook my porridge, then bathed me, so that we can leave home early to visit great grandma. My loving daddy finally decided to accompany us even though he needs to study for his exam. He just can't bear to see dearest mummy carrying so many barangs and juggling me on the sling on her own.

The journey is quite a distance as we need to take mrt train till Boon Lay and then bus no 181 in order to reach gu-gong's place. I'm getting very restless during the long mrt ride.. I enjoy the visit coz I got new area to explore again and this time gu-gong and kim-po busy entertaining me. We are glad that my great grandma finally discharged, to celebrate upcoming CNY at home with us. Mama also arrived later on and we went home together in late afternoon.

I was so tired after the trip that I fell asleep by 8pm. (we brought the camera but forgot to take some happy snapshot to share.). Looks fwd to visit great grandma the next time.
