Cutie's Comics

My Cutie wrote something on a cardboard packaging of the stickers and then gave it to me.

She had actually drawn a net over a character and added some speech bubbles to the picture on the cardboard.  Then shared the story with me.  So cute.

Ice Skating Fun

Read from a friend's blog that kid can skate for free after making certain amount of purchases at Velocity (so it's twice the amount for Mummy, hee...).  Mummy loves ice skating and would definitely not miss this chance to get my darlings to have a go. 

At first, my darlings were a little apprehensive, yet they also wanted to try.  There were "snow" falling from the "sky" in the skating rink and the place really seems like a winter wonderland. 

The trainers were great to get them to start with a walk on the ice while holding on their hands and then slowly encouraging them to take the first step to walk on their own.  So tho' it was just a half an hour session, my darlings have progressed from having difficulties to even stand on the ice, to being able to walk confidently on their own. 

The most wonderful news is that my darlings love ice skating too and this will mean this is going to become 1 of our family activities in future.  Here's a video to share and see my Sweetie having fun at the last minute of the session.  To the trainers: a million thanks for your guidance and encouragement.  My darlings had a wonderful session.

There's nothing better than to have lunch at our favourite Japanese restaurant after that.  Yummy.

Meet and Greet (Nov / Dec 2010)

December has always been a busy month for most people, guess it's even more so for the parents bringing their kids to meet their favourite characters in the malls.

1) Strawberry Shortcake
This is the 1st performance that my darlings went to.  They were not very excited (partly cos' Mummy did not accompany them to sit in front of the stage) and they were not used to the loud music from the speaker and screaming/shouting by other kids (see my Sweetie covering her ears in the photo).  They only brightened up when the place was filled with bubbles towards the end of the show.  

2) Elmo
We dropped by Plaza Singapura after knowing Sesame Street Characters are in town and my darlings were happy to see "Elmo".  We were there just in time for the performance, but my darlings were equally happy to watch the performance on the 2nd storey (near to Mummy).  After that, we had a relaxing moment in the Family Lounge of the mall after shopping.

3) Dora
We went to the Volkswagen open house to see Dora (haha... of course it's the cars for Daddy).  We spent the whole afternoon there, as the place was full of of fun-filled activities for kids.  Haha... not to mention about an hour's queue for the special balloon sculptures (cos' more sophisticated design = longer queueing time).  Hee.. we were smart to get Daddy to queue up while we went to the "Meet and Greet with Dora".  My Sweetie was very lucky to win the Diego's Bedsheet/Comforter Set and they also got the chance to hold Dora's hand and took photo with the mascot.  Most of all, they love their beautiful balloon princesses.

4) Hi-5
This is the only performance that we had watched twice cos' my darlings love the Hi-5 characters who have been tagged to each of us at home.  My darlings managed to do a hi-5 with some of the Hi-5 members and my Cutie told me that their hands are not furry, unlike Dora (hahaha... because the mascots and TV characters that they had met, ALL of them have furry hands).  As she had often been quite advanced for her age, Mummy had almost forgotten that she is still only 4 years old. 
After the show, when we were shopping at the merchandise area near the stage, my darlings was lucky to be able to do another round of hi-5 with "Casey" and "Stevie" (as we were really caught by surprise and thus only managed to snap this photo after the moment).  Later in the night, we bumped into both "Casey" and "Stevie" again at Suntec City again (hee... guess they were out for supper).  What a small world.
5) Thomas the train @ Millenia / Pokemon @ Tampines / Toy Story @ Parkway Parade
We didn't go to the Meet and Greet for the above events, we only took photo with the static display while shopping at the malls.  My darlings were very happy to have the Pokemon bags and also a Toy Story mug, which comes with some purchases.  They also had a great time playing at the outdoor Toy Story theme playground @ Parkway Parade.

December is the month of fun and shopping for us.  Yeah.

Dec Holiday Workshop


My Cutie attended the Speech & Drama Workshop at her Chinese Language School again, as usual there was a showcase at the end of the workshop.  We were glad to have the same teacher who taught her during her June Holiday Workshop.  Thank you once again, 潘老师.
Here's a video of my Cutie's performance on stage.  Good job, darling.

After that, Daddy gave us a lift to Ikea before going back to work.  Mummy met up with an "old" friend whom we seem to forever have endless topic to talk about for hours.  My darlings had a great time playing at the playground and kids' area in Ikea.  Mummy bought them an Ikea's mini log cake.  Guess what, this is already the 3rd mini log cake they have tried from different shops for the past 2 weeks.  Hee... hope they won't get too fat eating the yummy chocolate cakes.

Last Day at Little Learners

Today was the last day of school at Little Learners.

Mummy never regrets sending her to this school.  Her teachers are also the same ones who taught my Cutie when she attended the school for just a few months then.  Under their love and care, my Sweetie has grown and learned a lot.   
Thank you, Ding 老师 and Mrs Suppiah
Love you and will miss you.

Sisterly Love
