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.

A Fun Time @ Lil' Globetrotters

On 25th April (Friday), mummy is on leave to bbsit me & took this chance to meet up with Godma San & Jerral for lunch & light shopping. Aunty Cindy & Charlyne also managed to take time to join us as well.

We chose to lunch at Globetrotters restaurant as it has a nice playing area for kids to play while the adult enjoying their meal. Sharing below our Happy Fun Time pics at Lil Globetrotters and we all end up in the restaurant for about 3 hour. ^_^

Look at my cheeky expression again!!




Sitting side by side, studying our menu while waiting for Aunty Cindy & Charlyne to arrive. We also fuss a bit due to the distractions while having our lunch, poor godma & mummy got to feed us till we are done and their food turns cold.

Time to let us run loose in this lil playarea where there are loads of fun & interesting toys. We are constantly amazed and enjoying playing in it. Look at this cute kitchen toy which consists of so many stuffs like a real kitchen!

The trios are busy playing and it is no easy task to take pics of us together!

Ready to place your order?coffee or tea?... [pretend play]

Look at my cheeky expression again while dashing off to next attraction

If you noticed our sitting poses during our sand time, I was squatting all the time while Vernice sit onto the bed of sand after squating for a short while. Vernice enjoy digging her hands in the sands, look at above pic! She was full of sand all over & I was trying to make myself clean as possible, to be careful and avoid too much contact with the sand.. I am so Missy.

Time to pack up our tools and proceed to our last station

My Sunday Yummy Lunch at 1st attempt

For my Sunday lunch today, mummy decided to go the extra mile and whip up something different for my lunch other than my usual porridge. Since many of my toddler friends are already having many different texture of food, it is time for me to try more solid food. Due to mummy's working & lack of time, she can only whip up porridge for my lunch before leaving for work in the morning. She promises to come up with more new receipes for me to try!!!

Below is her 1st attempt on her 1st creation, "Pumpkin Chicken Treasure" (consist of yummy chicken stew, soft boiled rice + steam brocoli).

Method of preparation for Yummy Lunch within 30 min
1) Preparing the rice
- Cook the rice filled with some water in a pot, over small fire
- Add some finely cut silver fish & wolfberries into it, cook together
- Cook till it becomes soft boiled rice

2) Preparing the pumpkin chicken stew
- heat the small pot, add olive oil once it is hot
- add little bit of garlic into it, add minced chicken & stir fry
- add small cuts of pumpkin into the dish
- add water & stew it over a low fire till the pumpkin is soft

Volia !!! Bon Dejeuner!

My Yummy Lunch Spread!

This is the leftover as I cant finish all.. not bad for my 1st attempt though.
Do you agree?
