Counting Down to Fireworks & 2010!

As per pervious years, we have always been watching the live fireworks to celebrate the begining of a new year. This year is no exception, well except that we will not be watching the fireworks in the car but rather we will be watching from the esplanade. Pervious years' practise has always been a case where XP will drive along ECP when it is approaching 12 midnight. The fireworks will be on and usually all cars will come to a standstill. That's how we watched the fireworks.

This year, since we have not got our new car yet, we would be taking a bus to Marina area and catch it together with the crowd! How exciting....

Read on my next post for the details!

Taking A Risk!

I must admit that I wasn't very dilligent to wean Little Arielle off her diaper. She is perfectly ok without diapers during the day. However, when it comes to her afternoon nap and night time, she will still require diapers. I had wanted to purchase the waterproof mattress protector but opps, was a bit lazy to do so.

When it's time for nap this afternoon, Little Arielle did not want to wear the diaper. She promised XP that she would wake up and pee if there is an urge. Well, XP gave her the benefit of doubt.

I was doubtful....went in to check once and everything was clear. Some time later, I asked XP to check and heng ah....it was clear too!

And after about 2hrs, she was up with no slight drop of pee. Phew!

All right, I will get the protector and start training her soon....

Our Xmas Gifts

Since we were overseas during Xmas, Mummy Me hadn't got a chance to really take a pic of all our Xmas gifts. After we were back, I was a bit lazy and luan hee. It was only until today, that I got the mood to arrange the gifts nicely and take a pic.

Hmm, probably we will open the gifts tonight :)

To the Library!

Mummy Me 心泻来潮 and decided to pop over to the library. The good thing about my neighbourhood is that I got all the buses that I need i.e. to work, to my mother's house and to town. Best of all, it has a library and a lot of eating places.

The library is just a 10 mins walk from my house. Little Arielle was very excited when we reached. She quickly went to the shelf and grabbed a book for me to read to her. The librarian was very strict and did not allow any photography in the library. I was wondering, what's wrong with taking pic there? There are no secrets wat? Anyway, she must have heard the "click" sound and saw me taking pic. That's why I managed to take one shot. Hmm....I shall try my luck again the next time hee! *The first book grabbed by Little Arielle, subsequent ones are related to dogs too!* - Uploaded on 30th Dec 09

In all, I read 3 books there and borrowed 7 books home.

She was so excited that she made me read out 2 stories to her when we got home!

求求你

I'm not used to people pleading with me, especially when it's kids! I got a shock this evening when Little Arielle suddenly came to me, knelt down and said,"
求求你, 我可以睡在你的房间吗?" With such a sweet voice and pathetic look, no one can simply said no to her!

As such, without second thought, I agreed to her request! Little Arielle will once in a while make such a request but never once did she go down on her knees to do so. I'm really surprised that she will use such tactic to touch our hearts! Or I should say, to melt our hearts instead.

Anyway, most of the time when she wanted to sleep with us, we would say no. Yesterday, she sneaked into our room at about 4am+ and we got no choice but to tuck her in with us. Today, she is cleverer! She just need to make the request outfront and she will be spared of the need to sneak into our room. How come this gal is so clever? I wonder? XP din teach her leh....neither do I!?!?

Mall Visited: Tampines 1

We just decided to pop over to Tampines 1 this evening as Mummy Me had some errands to run. 1st thing that XP did was to buy bread for Little Arielle as she was complaining of hunger. S0, she gets to eat her favourite hotdog 面包. Just took a few shots of her, walked round the mall for a while and we hurried back home cos we wanna catch 摆家乐. Oh, one happy thing to mention is that Mummy Me finally found the moo moo coin bank that I wanted! But XP din want me to buy. Hee hee, I shall find a good opportunity to do so :)

Superb Memory!

When it comes to 正谨事 i.e. learning ABC, it seems to take forever to teach Little Arielle! The information simply cannot get into her head, I wonder why?

But, when it comes to other things, you can be amazed by how good her memory is! Just like today, we were walking past Katong Mall when she suddenly told me, Mummy, remember we were here the last time! And yes, we were really here, with her listening to someone telling stories. And when we passed by Boon Tiong Kee, she would said, remember we ate here the last time. Yup, these events actually happened like, weeks or even months back and she can remember!

What can I say....

A Boring & Rainy Sunday

Little Arielle woke up late again and by the time we were ready to get out of the house, it's already 11am+. So, instead of breakfast, it became brunch! How sad :(

Nevermind, I have made plans to go Orchard to see the Xmas lightings. We havent really caught the lightings yet. Who knows, my PIL came along and ruined all my plans. They stayed around for a while and needless to say, Little Arielle refused to take her afternoon nap. When they went off, it was almost 4pm. Little Arielle then wanted to sleep and thereafter, it started to pour!

Arrgghhh....there goes my Sunday :(

We are flying....

to the Land of Smiles :) Yippee!! The Tan family is currently waiting for boarding at Changi Terminal 1. Our flight will be taking off at about 4pm. Little Arielle is especially excited! This is her 2nd flight after the one to Japan in Apr08.

Wanted to bring her to HongKong Disneyland but we were too late and did not managed to secure good dates and price. As such, to make up for this, we are going to Thailand instead and staying in Baiyoke Hotel! Probably we will go HongKong and Taiwan next year!

Anyway, the hotel is the tallest one in Thailand and we will be staying between level 64th to 74th. The view must be damn great and we are looking forward to it!

This stay will also allow us to celebrate Mummy Me's birthday and Xmas!

Yeah....we will try to report again when we are there!

Meet Disney Characters @ Vivo

Auntie Astin was very kind as she wanted to give us the photo pass to take pic with the Disney Characters in Vivo City. But it was just unfortunate that Mummy Me was unable to take leave on Fri - 11th Dec and the photo pass is only applicable for the 2pm slot on 11th Dec. Auntie Astin helped to call and enquire and the person in charge was very strict and did not allow the time/date to be changed. As such, the deal is off :(

Mummy Me happened to talk to Auntie Irene and found out that she too has the pass but it is for 12th Dec (Sat). Her hubby is comptemplating if he wants to bring her girl for the shoot. If they are not going, Little Arielle will have hope.

But I got a feeling that there is no HOPE....Will see how then....

Xmas Comes Early....

*Happy to take a pic with her prezzies & tree* - Uploaded on 31st Dec 09

But too bad, she will not get to open it cos Mummy Me told her that it will be "parked" under the Xmas tree until Xmas Day!!

Hmm okie lah....Mummy Me got a surprise when XP bought me a new hp when I reached my mama's house! Everyone is saying it's TIME I got a new hp :)

Anyway, first thing that I got Little Arielle to do when she is home is to put her prezzies under the tree. Check it out ->

Barney's World Imagination






Damage Made :(

Mummy Me used one of my magnets to hold the Barney newspaper advertisement on the fridge. It has been hanging there happily for the past few days without any problem until this morning!

Without me noticing, Little Arielle just pulled the newspaper advertisement off my fridge! The magnet that was holding it was flung off the fridge and landed on the floor. I was so upset when I found out that the right leg of the penguine broke! What was more upsetting is that I couldn't find the broken leg!

I was so angry that I tore the newspaper up and Little Arielle got a smacking from XP and me. And why I was so upset is because this is the first gift that XP gave to Mummy during the "courting" stage!

*Handicapped penguine!* - Uploaded on 09 Dec 2009

[Afternote: till date (09 Dec), the leg remains unfound :( Dustin has been searched and the whole kitchen has been combed but still not found. Where has it gone?]
