Is it tasty, my little Beanie?
He played with this for a long time today while L & Z were watching TV. It was the remote control for his musical mobile.
He looked so serious hor?
Meet LZ new pets, Lili (left)& Goody(right)! I have been 'working hard' to make 'money' to buy stuffs for their pets coz there are so many things they want for them, so I am so 'broke'! Hehehe... They have fun during this school holiday playing with their new pets and other games on facebook too.
Everyday, we talk about our pets and other games too. LZdaddy has no idea what it was all about. Hmmm... Must try to convince daddy to join us.
Our favourite hangout place at home is our room! If we ever move house, we definitely need a BIG bed to accommodate everyone!
My little Beanie is 4 months old today! He is the little angel in the family, make us laugh and melts everyone's heart.
We went out for a small celebration at a Japanese restaurant, without our helper and we handle our kids well. I love it when I know we can do it without any help and hopefully I can convinced LZdaddy we can live without any helper.. Anyway, I won't talk about this today.
Whatever we call him, he smiles and that's fine isn't it? And we 'fight' to see who makes him smiles the most! And I am the winner! Hahaha...
This was the last holiday programme that I have arranged for LZ. Nothing much except that they danced throughout fot 1 1/2 hr. L looked forward to this more than Z but it was a disappointment. They said it was quite boring at times so this will be the last time that I will sign them up for this.
Did LZdaddy bought these because I'm a very lousy cook? Maybe... Haha.. He knows I enjoys watching their cook shows and I didn't want to spend money buying the books for myself (rather spend on my kids). AND he felt guilty that he didn't buy me anything for his recent trips. He asked me what I want and I told him nothing that I need.
I received my very early presents for my birthday!
I should have taken pics of them at that time.
If I have told LZdaddy earlier, I think he would stop me. But I know my boy wanted to try and I told myself must be extra careful with him.
He listened to my advice. I told him whenever he thinks that he is going to fall, he should lean forward and slow down. You can see it in the video right below. That's why the number of times he fell was less than L.
At times she didn't want to use the bar but I advise her to use it coz it hurt to see her fall so many times. In the video (below), you can see how she fell and towards the end of the video you will see Z fell too. I love her cheerfulness! Fell down so many times yet so HAPPY!
I wanted to enrol LZ for more Science Workshops or cooking classes but I was too late, most of the classes were full or they have attended before. I was glad there was vacancies for this 3 hr workshop and of coz I asked LZ if they want to join in.
Through the journey across 4 'islands', they did experiments (which is their favourites), learned about water pressure etc...
Giant Land
One of the experiment they did:
Using water bottle as submarine, they learned that 'submarine' sinks when water enters and increases air pressure.
Elves Land
One of the experiments they did:
They placed some cut papers on the table, rub the balloons and when thye put it near the table, the cut papers stick to the balloons - static electricity.
Witches Land
One of the experiments they did:
They mixed baking soda and vineger and that caused the solution to turn fizzy (the witches' Brew).
They also learned the Pig Pen Code. I think they may write secret letters to each other using that! Hehehe...
Dragon Land
They were given a small parachute toy, through that, they learned about air resistance. The staffs also set up a Giant Web (to rescue the dragon who was stuck in there) and they kids had fun going into it.
LZ had a good time in the workshop. They were 'fighting' to tell me what experiments they did and L telling me that at times she needed to help Z with the experiments. When I read through the programme, I didn't think it was that interesting. I'm so happy they enjoyed it! Sometimes, no choice is a good choice.
After craft time, we rested for a while before heading to the beach for a picnic. We haven't done this for a looong time.... We had a wonderful time! If only LZdaddy was there... It will be few more days before we get to see him...
I love the pic I took of L & Z! My favourites are the B&W ones. They have grown so much!
L with her mermaid & Z with his cow 'piggy' bank
LZ took the initiative to read to ZJ while I have my break. They read for a long time till ZJ couldn't lift his head anymore. Hehehe...
*Z took the pic for me*
I was driving when Z asked me to see what happened (of coz I waited till we were at red traffic light). Jiejie was soo tired that it didn't bother her that Beanie put his leg on her or kicked her.
For the last day of the camp, LZ went to Uncle Ringo Carnival. They loved the games that they played there! Bouncy castle, Merry-Go-Round and a Tutu train and the highlight for them was the Big Ball. Z said he went upside down and he kept running inside and falling down. L said when the uncle was trying to pull them back, she struggled to move it away with another girl, Nicole. My naughty girl, she said she did that coz she wanted to play more!
I think today is one of the camp days that they look forward to! They went to Qianhu for longkang fishing! L claimed that she caught 30+ fishes and Z only caught about 3 or 4 . She told me she gave some to Z but in the end, they were asked to released all the fishes and she was disappointed.
Sad to say thatI have never bring my kids to any museum (not that I recall).... They usually follows the school field trip. After the field trip today, both commented "mommy, you know you never bring us to the museum before." Oops! Another 'wake up call' for me! So if any of my dear friends read this, please do ask us along if you are going. I drive but I am lousy in knowing how to go around. I have never to been to any museum in Singapore (not that I remember). Funny thing is that when I used to travel so often, I went around to look for museums.
In the morning, both did some work and sang songs in their own classes. L told me their class was rehearsing for a mini performance for all students. She was chosen by teacher to be the narrator and she was very proud of it. I think she must be very talkative in class that's why teacher chose her. She looks forward to the performance but too bad I don't get to see it.
But that's alot to finish! What to do... LZdaddy not in town to share it and I have to finish everything so as not to disappoint my Babies.
So cute right? They were even given a chef hat to bring home. 
ZJ: Haiz... I'm soooo BORED! What can I do?
ZJ: Ha! I know.. Let me 'eat' my drumlet! Hmmmm... So yummy!
Z: Really? Let me try..... You are soooo RIGHT Bro!
LZdaddy left this morning and he will not be back till 10 days later so I signed LZ up for a 5 days holiday programme. It is a Chinese Language Building Workshop with fun outings. Better keep them busy otherwise they will turn the house upsidedown. Hehehe.....
I signed them for this programme with Rachel, Charmaine & Janice. I hope the girls will be able to maintain this wonderful friendships, they have known each other since nursery days.
As for Z, he didn't have any friends with him but I was told that he will be able to join jiejie at times. I know my boy will be able to cope well even on his own now that he is older.
L with Rachel & Charmaine
We have not been to the zoo for a looooong time, ever since our membership expired. I feel so bad... They used to go zoo and bird park very often but not anymore.
L's character education teacher asked who has been to the newly renovated zoo during lesson, all of them raised up their hands except 3 students, including my girl. She was so sad.... She didn't tell me till few days ago.
It was a 'wake up call' for us. We have not been to many places since my pregnancy and LZdaddy has been busy with work and business trips. We can't take these as an excuse..... No matter how busy we are or lazy, we must make effort to bring them to places like these.
LZdaddy was the one who suggested going to the zoo today (I mentioned it to LZdaddy what L told me). LZ were excited since last night! They were jumping with joy!
That showed how much they missed the zoo.
We did the right thing! LZ had so much fun! We arrived at the zoo at 10+am. It rained for a while after we arrived there for half hour but that didn't dampen their spirits! They already told us what they would like to see before we arrived. Then when we were about to leave at 5+pm, it started raining again. We were giggling while running towards the exits and we slowed down when we see animals! I was carrying Beanie, with a blanky covering his head and Z was running next to me. L was running with daddy. So fun!
It was Beanie's 1st trip to the zoo and I'm sure he didn't know where he was at. he must be thinking that mommy 'tortured' him by bringing him to such a HOT place. Hehehe... Beanie slept half the time and I was glad that we bought a little fan to keep him cool.
When we were at the Children World, he pooped so much that he stained his clothes! Love to see his poop! Weird mommy right? The yellow mustard poop! Every time I look at it, I'm so happy! Coz it means he has been drinking my milk and it should be this colour. Hehehe...
Oh! I want to ask you readers something. There's a nursing/diaper changing room in the Children World and I was wondering if man are allowed to go in.
I was breastfeeding Beanie when this man came in with the wife to change diaper for their kid and to stay cool in there (there's aircon in the room). I was uncomfortable and hoping they will leave soon.
I had to draw to curtain but as soon as I close the curtain, I felt so hot! I was perspiring and feeding him! I know the curtain is meant for privacy but it was so hot feeding there with the curtain drawn. I can't feel the aircon at all. And of coz if this man is alone with the child, then he had no choice but he was there for the aircon!
Z gone wild in the Children World! He was running everywhere and we had a hard time trying to catch up with him. LZdaddy worried most, he worried that Z would hurt his arm again. It was tough just trying to get a pic of him.
L gone wild too! At least it was easier to get her to come to me. The only complaint that I got from her was why I never prepare swimsuit for them. I told helper to prepare towels and extra clothes except the swimsuits.
*Pic taken 12th Jun 2009* See how happy he was!
We were told that every week the games would be different so this week we head down to the mall again. But the games were almost the same.. I was disappointed but not my kids.
I promised Z that I will do this with them during the school holiday. Recipe is from his school. It is easy to do and yummy!
Ingredients:
- Cornflakes
- Raisins
- Chocolates
Mix cornflakes & raisins and place a spoonful into the mini paper cupcake holder.
Pour melted chocolates over it and leave in fridge.
I melt the chocolates for them and they did the rest. LZ missed those baking sessions that we used to do and I missed it too. I hope to be able to bake more often with them once ZJ is older.
ZJ used to lie down to watch TV but now he enjoys watching it this way. See how focus and serious he looks!
I bought the vegetable seeds (comes with the containers) in L's school last year. I forgot about it till L reminded me that I promised them that we will plant it the next school holiday. The wheatgrass seeds were given the last time Z went to the vegetable farm (school field trip).
After 9 years, it is time for our aircon to 'retired'... It retired at the wrong timing! The weather has been so HOT! Our house will be in a big mess if we want to repair it. Today, the aircon men came to our house to fix up the new ones. We have been without aircon for the past weeks (or months?) . We were happy with getting the new aircon, which means better sleep in the night but the downside is that we have to out of the house for the whole day!
It was very sweet of my best pal to invite us to her house for the day. Needless to say, LZ looked forward to it! They missed their godsister... I shouldn't have told them the night before, they were too excited to sleep. I looked forward to it too coz Doreen and I can chat the whole day and ZJ tried out the 'spa' for the very 1st time!
In the pics: Chyene & ZJ on the mat, ZJ in the water, LZ with their godsister, ZJ & Chyene in the water. I love the last pic of our little ones in the water. You can see they really enjoyed it! They talked to him and massaged for him while I was busy recording and taking pics.
I think maybe he is not used to sleeping in other places.
Thank you my dear friends, we hope you guys had a wonderful time too and hopefully the next time, ZJ will want to nap in your house.
I signed up L for the school holiday workshop for the week. It is a continuation of what she did for the March holiday. I am grateful to my friend, Pauline for sending & fetching my girl for the 5 days. She has been sending L home everyday after school and she offered to even help me during this school holiday.
This time, she was taught how to describe a character & setting, plotting of the story and dialogue. She was taught Braille (The Braille system is a method that is widely used by blind people to read and write) too!
She likes the story of this little girl, Helen Keller who was blind and deaf. This lady, Annie Sullivan who taught Helen how to read with her fingers, how to write and how to speak. In the end, this little girl grew up to be a great woman and devoted her to life to help others. She brought courage and hope go these people. I like it too and I think she inspired L to work harder.
Brought my babies to the mall for some Disney fun, it has a few play stations. I think L was a little too 'old' for the stations but who cares? So long she had fun with her brother.
Yes, I was alone again with my 3 babies. ZJ was sleeping most of the time when we were shopping and he woke when LZ just started playing the games. The pics didn't turn out that well coz I was carrying him while trying to take the pics.
