Christmas 2007

Every year on Christmas Day, we will gather in Da Yi's house for a makan and gift exchange session. There are no Christmasy delicacies like roast beef, honey baked turkey, mince pies, yorkshire pudding and log cake. On the contrary, we had Nasi Brani, Chicken Curry, Fried Fishballs, Hor Fun and Swenson Ice Cream Cake! Look at the spread! Rynae had a lot of fun playing with Asher Di Di's toys and watching Jayden play computer games on Yi Zhang's Mac. Rynae dashed to her gifts that were arranged neatly on the sofa when she woke up. Without hesitation, she tore the wrappers to reveal what actually lies beneath. Favourite gift? A fishing game by Ah Ma. Least Favourite? OOops! No la.. better not say it... Hohohoho...

Magic Painting

"The pages in this book are printed with a very special ink. Using clean water and a clean paint brush, carefully paint each part of the pictures and the colours will appear as if by magic!"

My intention initially was to buy only 1 of these magic books as a X'mas gift exchange but eventually I bought 1 for Rynae as well. I guess she will like it because she loves to paint. The best part is there's no need to use paints hence no need for messy aftermath clean up too! Just water will do the act. It was an ease painting with just water (but with lots of smirches of course). Rynae coloured 4 pages in about 5 mininutes and I had to stop her from going on, if not she could have completed the rest of the 12 pages in 1 session! I asked her to pose with her proud piece of work and see how she did it?

Caught Sleeping Again

The wet spell has been keeping us indoors and Sunday's accommodating weather couldn't be better for us to hit the mall. Recalling IMM's recent announcement of an upgrade, we decided to pay that once familar place a visit. We paid $3 (for 1 hr) to get our little one into a pushy buggy but ended up paying $4.50 for 1.5 hr because someone fell asleep in it! Going marketing with kids are troublesome. We decided to load them all into a NTUC trolley and maybe traffic them off!!

Wheely Trolly

We considered ourselves lucky to be able to choppe this FREE 2-in-1 car trolly cus we heard there're only 5 in Fairprice Xtra! Parkway Parade had similar push carts but they're put on rent. Rynae was but of course gleeful. But poor me.. this big pushy isn't light and is not the least easy to navigate in the crowded supermarket. I could feel my stomach muscle craunch whenever I maneuver any bends. There weren't much things to buy in AMK Hub but I did buy a small Dora puzzle (S$1.90) from Mums & Babes. Should have bought more as Christmas present giveaways. Argh...

Kong Fu Sleeping

Mummy and Daddy played host to Uncle Leslie and Auntie Maggie today by bringing them to Vivo City and Plaza Singapura. The rainy weather aren't too conducive for outings but that didn't dampen our spirit. We had a sumptuous lunch, many snacks in-between and a great time together. Everyone also took turn to run after the little sprinter who refused to seat in her pram. We speculate that she would fall asleep by 5ish but she did not. In fact, she missed her nap totally and knocked out only in the taxi on the way home. Upon reaching home, I had to wash and dress her up for bed but she was so worn-out that she could sleep anywhere, anyhow... What a pose..

Early Christmas Gifts

Christmas arrived early for Rynae this year when Santa Clause Uncle Leslie and Santarina Auntie Maggie descended from Hongkong on 8 Dec. Look at the wonderful gifts they showered my little tyke with! They sure can read her mind cus they're all her fav! Hip Hip Hurray!!!

Got Milk?

These photos reminded me of the infamous 'Got Milk' moustache. But then, Rynae's moustachio aren't traces of milk! They're made by Nestle's Drumstick Minis ice cream! A bad example of food wastage though...for that, I'm gonna starve her for... err... 2 hours!

Sticker-holic

Rynae's recently having a craze over stickers and has been 'decorating' my house with 'Spider Man', 'Poor Bear', 'Mickey Mouse' and 'Want Want' stick-ies. We have to not only guard the house to make sure any of these stick-ies are removed, we also have to be vigilant not to be sabo-ed by her! What an impression I'll make if people were to find a Spider Man hanging for dear life on my butt!? Well, well... taking it out on herself is better than vandalising my wall or my butt lah... hor?
