My Thought

Before I got married, I was seldom in town for Christmas. My friends and me will do the count down together and party all night long. Back then, I always find that the atmosphere is much better than back in Singapore. Now that I am married and with my babies, I feel different. I no longer wish to be somewhere else without my family. They are the ones that I want to spend the times with :)

I am very blessed to be married to LZdaddy and have my 2 wonderful babies :) They have brought so much joy to me, what more can I ask? Of coz there are times that we argue or disagree with things but it is thru these that we learnt our mistakes and to be a better person.

My family and friends noticed the change in me, for the better (of coz). My mom never knew I would be so keen in cooking or baking. She has always encourage me to learning baking from her but I said no. When I was living with my parents, I don't have to help in the kitchen at all or do any housework. Now, I ask her for advice :) She is proud that I am taking good care of my family and I fed my hubby well. He put on so much weight ever since we are married! Hahaha... Married life and motherhood have definitely changed me! I still have a lot to learn though, to be a better wife and a better mom :)

No Christmas Tree?

L has been wondering why we don't set up our Christmas tree this year... Conversation took place at Concourse, where they are selling trees and the decors...

L : Mommy, you know Christmas is coming... After our birthday it will be Christmas...

Me : Yes
I knew what she was going to say :)

L : Why are we not setting up our tree?
See? I knew that :)

Me : We will not be in town for Christmas, Sweetie... By the time we are back, Christmas is over. So we don't need to set up the Christmas tree right?

L : Why don't we bring it along?

Me : Huh? You mean the tree? Hahaha... Silly girl...

L : Hahaha... Do they have Christmas tree there?

Me : Yes. I'm sure we will see Christmas tree there and I promise you next year we will set up the tree ok? Remember what Ms B (her principal) told you? Christmas is not about the presents or Santa Claus....

L : I remember! Christmas is Jesus!

School Out, Games In

It has been a few weeks since school holiday started.... I have been very relaxed :) No morning rush and we don''t have to rush for their classes. They don't have to walk under the hot sun everyday :)

LZ and me have been enjoying at home and sometimes we go out for a walk. Reading their books, doing homework as and when I asked them to. Playing board games, silly games, toys etc... They are so free to the extend that they even choreograph a mini dance for daddy to watch after he came home from work. I wanted to bring them to the library but we have too many books at home. Thanks to all the Uncles & Aunties for handing down may good books to LZ :)

What kind of games have we been playing? Besides these games (found under the label, games), we play Speller Jr, Topple, Monopoly, Uno Stacko and matching cards games too. They also play with their computer games.

When school holidays over, I won't have such luxury.... So do LZ... So let us enjoy as much as we can and also relax as much as we can :) I told LZdaddy I intend to spring clean the house but now, I think that can wait for a little while more :)

Dinner @ Pasir Ris Park

Another gathering with our friends :) Shirley wanted to go somewhere we can relax so we decided to go Pasir Ris Park for dinner @ Watercross. We often go to the one next door but this time we decided to try the new restaurant. While waiting for our food, godpa brought the kids out for a stroll by the beach. The rest of us were happily chatting away.

LZ like the place and we like it too. The indoor area are with sofas, a great place to hang out.

These were some of the food we ordered

The food is quite good. Sausages, pasta, beef stroganoff, nachos. The portion is quite big and good thing I have daddy with me to finish it :) We didn't like the salad as the dressing doesn't taste like caesar dressing. Skip the raspberry which I had and the mango soda. We should have the passionfruit soda (daddy ordered that) which taste much better. They all like Nachos except me, I didn't try it at all. It was godma's favourite. LZ had the beef spaghetti and the portion was more like for me :) I should have order the kids meal. Hehehe...

After dinner, we ordered dessert too :) We had the chocolate fondue and banana boats. The banana boat doesn't come with any sauce so we added chocolate sauce (from the fondue)on top of it and it taste much better.

Overall, the service was great but we were disappointed they don't serve any water. If you want to drink water, you will have to order their bottle water or sparkling water. We had to order many drinks to quench our thirst :( Thanks to Boon for giving us the BIG treat and because of that, he get to become to member :)

Fun! Fun! Fun!

Goat Farm

We went to Goat Farm after early lunch. Jan, finally we found time to go there again :)
L noticed 1 or 2 of them having runny nose and she fed them more as she thinks they need to eat more to recover. So sweet right?

I think the goats must be very hungry... 1 of them tried chewing on Z's hair! Too bad I didn't catch that scene on camera :) And another one chewed on his t-shirt. He is the only one in the family who loves goats milk. I managed to get L to drink a little. He enjoyed patting their head while feeding them and he is not afraid at all (see them in action in the video).

In the video, you will also see that Z tried to stop the goats from fighting (for the food)

*******************************************************
Dragonfruit Farm

We have passed by the place every time we go to the goat farm but this it is our very first visit to the place.
LZ enjoyed walking around the place. We were lucky that the weather was quite ok :) Daddy was the only one that complained hot!

These are some of the plants that we saw.

***************************************************************

In the evening, we went to East Coast Park with Boon and his family. The little ones had fun on the rides and mommies too. Hehehe... Thanks to them, I get to be a kid again! This is was the first time LZ took the Viking rides and probably L's last. She was excited before the ride but as we were swinging higher, I thought she looks a little scared. I keep asking her if she is alright and she insisted she is. When the rides ended, she doesn't looked that good. When we had dinner, I was so afraid that she would vomit but thank goodness she did not :)

Z,on the other hand, I can tell that he enjoyed it very much and wasn't afraid at all! I asked him next time if he would like to take the ride again he said yes :)

Below is a video of us taking the Viking ride :) You can hear them screaming throughout the ride. There were 3 person sitting opposite us, they were staring at us and putting their hands on their ears. C'mon! This is a kiddy ride! Of coz to adults, we are not afraid but do they have to show their displeasure in this manner? Anyway, we ignored it and enjoyed that few minutes :)
