Xianz!

I was anxiously preparing for Little Arielle's birthday and when I was on the phone with Ms Tan today, we discussed about the things that I need to bring on that day.

It was a casual question asking if there is any issue for us to go in during the cake cutting ceremony. Frankly speaking, I did not expect a NO.

So when Ms Tan said No, I was very upset! She explained that there's a HFM case and they want to minimise contact with outsiders. Wahhh....ridiculous right! I mean the students do go home as well. So if that is the case, they would bring back new germs into the class. If we want to go in and celebrate with her, we are the one taking the risk!

They could have make some special arrangement like we santisise before going in and please lor....it's just for that 10 - 15 mins!

And well....I have been consoled by others to think positively and this is for the kids' own good :(

What Little Arielle Says....

Guessed what? She told me that her toys are boring! Faintz....nowadays, kids are so difficult to please!

When they don't have toys, they will ask for it. When they have it, they will complain that it's boring! If the modern toys are boring, what about our five stones when I played when I was young....

Buay tahan!

Flight CX736 is Waiting....

for us!! Yes....we are going on a hoiday again to celebrate Mummy Me and XP's wedding anniversary! Destination = HongKong....

Supposedly to be just the 2 of us lor....but XP wants Little Arielle to follow too! Wat a bright lightbulb....But nevermind lah, I'm sure she will generate lots of laughter during the trip too :p

Just Finished Packing!

Mummy Me is dead beat! Just finished packing luggage for our HK trip! And sadly, I only got 4 hours of sleep before we need to get ready to go to the airport! Good night, world....

Crestar Dance School!

Mummy Me has been wanting to find a dance school for Little Arielle. It's not the common ballet that I want her to learn but rather hip hop or modern dance. With her slim figure, she can really twist and turn well. What's more, she has really shown great interest in it.

After searching for the longest time, I finally found a great venue! Not sure if the school is good or not but minimally, it is in Tampines and they have weekday classes from 7.45pm to 8.45pm. The timing and venue is just perfect. And they have hip hop classes too! I happily emailed them and they finally replied a few days back. Was a little upset when they told me that they only take in kids between 6 - 12 years old. Little Arielle is only gonna be 5 this year. I asked if they can assess her potential and consider taking her in and they agreed :)

So, Little Arielle would be going for her trial lesson on 12 Oct and I hope that they can take her in :) Good luck to us!!

Back to Her Usual Self :p

Little Arielle was so much better today :p So as usual, I can hear her non-stop voice the moment I picked her up from mama's house :)

Having said that, it's still entertaining to disturb my bubbly gal :) 24hrs ago, she was sleeping soundly. 24hrs later, she's back to test my patience!

We R The Smurfy Angels :p

One of my friend kept asking me to participate in her Smurf-licious contest. Basically just need to send a pic related to Smurfs :p Just find it cute that Little Arielle has the Smurf hat like Smurfette and I'm Baker Smurf :p Here goes the cute pic:

Sick Baby....

I sensed that something is wrong when my little girl wants to go to bed at 8pm! Yah....my guess is right! She has sore throat and is having a fever! Xianz leh....though I can enjoy peace as early as 8pm, it doesn't feel good that it is at her expense :(. Worst of all, we are traveling in a few day's time, hopefully she can recover by then.

Will ask mama to bring her to the doc tomorrow to treat her throat infection!

Getting Out of Hand

Dunnoe where did her manners go to? Only know how to scream and shout and blame others for anything! Sigh....this girl really need more teachings!

But on the other hand, she was quite disciplined :). When I told her that she would only have 10 minutes to play, she actually came up to me asking if her time is up when she realized that a long time has passed!

Faintz, she really made me mad for a moment and glad on the other :)

New Bad Habit!

Got super duper annoyed when I heard some teeth grinding sound! Worst of all, it's not because we are at the dentist but it's Little Arielle's new acquired bad habit!

Haiz....dont know where did she learn this from :(. It's just irritating! Will have to constantly remind her not to do so!!

She Really Change Fast!

Same scenario, on the way back home, Little Arielle suddenly asked if she is going for her Chinese class tomorrow. For a moment, I thought that she is gonna get grouchy again. When asked again, she actually told me that she likes her Chinese class! Yay!!! Finally, I'm hearing something positive :)

Really Good Memory Leh!

We were in the car, on our way home! Suddenly, Little Arielle started requesting me to buy her a princess birthday cake for her birthday. Apparently, I told her 'No' even though the arrangement has already been made hee :)

Then she started comparing, saying that she had a Mermaid cake and cupcakes last year for her nursery class and trying to imply why there isn't any this year?

Waahhh....she amazed me again with her good memory, or should I say selective memory?

Tu Tu Look!

Hahahaha....I couldn't help laughing when I saw Little Arielle's new hairstyle. Gong Gong cut her fringe until so short that she looked so tu! Luckily, she din get what I was laughing at. Else, she is sure gonna be mad with me! Hee!

*Hahaha....her tu-tu look!* - Uploaded on 18 Sep 2011

Arrived Just in Time!

Initially, I got pretty upset when the seller only managed to mail out the items yesterday :( I had intended to let her put on her Smurf clips with her Smurf top for our Smurf movie tomorrow. But, thinking back, it wasn't really the seller's fault since there were some clarifications done in between.

So, I din have much hope when I opened the mailbox this evening because SingPost is seldom so efficient! Boy, was I surprised when I saw the parcel in the mailbox. I was extremely happy!!

It did arrive on time afterall....

Little Terrorizer!

Haha....that's what WJ calls Little Arielle :). When asked further why he called her that, he narrated the following:

Little arielle knocks on the door
Little arielle : 有没有人在家?!
me： 没有!
little arielle: 有有！小舅开门...开门...开门啊!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wetbedding Baby

Was trying to play some games, relax myself before sleep and I had to clean up Little Arielle's mattress cos she peed on it! Irritating! Shall forbid her to drink milk/water before sleep since she is lazy to wake up and go to the toilet!

Smurf Loot

The Smurf craze is now on! Or should I say it was on long time ago! Whatever :p Just chanced upon a seller making customised Smurf ribbons. When I saw it, I immediately knew that I would buy it :) That's the disadvantage of having a girl :) And of course, I'm glad at times that I'm a salaried employee :p Okie....enough of the nonsense! Ordered the ribbons few days ago and here's the finished products!*The Smurfs ribbon collection* - Uploaded on 18 Sep 2011
*Cute melody lanyard for Mummy Me* - Uploaded on 18 Sep 2011
*Hello Kitty lanyard for Little Arielle* - Uploaded on 18 Sep 2011

Wahhhh....it looked really nice and sweet :) I was hoping that I can find some classes to learn how to make these ribbons! Then I don't have to spend so much $$. Until then, I think I need to continue to work :p

Hope that it would arrive in time for my Smurf movie this Saturday :)

My Recipe!

Little Arielle kept pestering me when we got home!

Little Arielle: Mummy, help me open my lights!
Mummy Me: What you want?
Little Arielle: I want my grapes! I need it for cooking! I need it in my recipe!

Wow! Her vocab is not too bad :p

Shown Improvement!

Just picked Little Arielle from her CMA class and was rather happy with her progress :). From the time that she doesn't know what is 1 + 1 until when when she can mentally calculate what is 9 + 2, I was indeed impressed!

At least it's money well-spent!

Disney Musical Festival

Sigh....even though we took leave, we still din manage to watch :( XP kept saying that no one is selling the tickets and apparently, Sistic has already sold away the good seats.

Luckily Little Arielle din remember but it's more like Mummy Me, who felt disappointed....Hopefully they will have it again next year :)

It's A Weird World!

It's Chinese lesson again and I am so glad that she din fuss about it like what she did for the past few lessons. Hmm....I must say that the ladybird really saved the day!! Hopefully, I'm able to continue this ladybird story on and on :)

1 strange thing that I concluded from Little Arielle's espisode was that, this world only look out for non of the ordinary things! It's either you are the best or worst that you got discovered! People who are ordinary or common are always being neglected. The staff at the school remembered Little Arielle and I felt that she was receiving additional attention because she cried for the past few lessons. Students who behave or are prim and proper are often left unnoticed.

Hmm....what world are we in?

Wahhh....Long Nails!

Wahhhh....realised that Little Arielle's nails are super long!! Cannot stand it and in the end, I went to cut for her. Hmm I think this seems to be the first or second time that I am cutting her nails. Since birth, her nails have been taken care of by mama! And because it's the same holiday now and mama's house is under renovation, XP had to take leave to take care of her. Hence, the nails were neglected. But don't worry....Mummy Me to the rescue :p

*Ekk....long nails :p* - Uploaded on 18 Sep 2011

Little Arielle's 5th Birthday Cake

Finally after months of thinking, Mummy Me finally placed my order and made payment ($142) for Little Arielle's birthday cake.

Sometimes life cannot have too many options! It just made you think and waste time over it!

So, to stop myself from thinking further and wasting more time, I just made the payment and move on! If I delay further, later got no more baking slots for me and I would be in deep shit :p If that happens, need to waste more time cos gotta look for new baker!!

I'm sure Little Arielle will love the cake :) Very certain about it hahahaha!

Here's the sample ->

Consistent Action is Necessary!

Little Arielle couldn't finish her milk this morning and after fussing around for a long time, I agreed to let her get away with about 20ml left. This evening, she did the same thing :( She said that she couldn't finish her milk. But, in the first place, she was the one who kept complaining that she was hungry! I inisted that she finish her milk and she shuts me off by saying,'Why this morning can?' From this incident, I realised that we have to be consistent with our actions and we should not easily give in to threats! Unless it is really an exceptional case!!

Movie Time - Cars 2

I was actually hesistanting if I should bring Little Arielle to watch Cars 2 because it seems like a movie more suitable for boys. In the end, I proceeded with the ticket order because my company is selling it at $5 per ticket. I was thinking if she really doesn't like it, we are only wasting $5 :p

It's been a while since we last watched movie together as a family. I only remembered the first movie that we went together as a family was Alice in Wonderland. There was a second movie which we went together but shucks, I just couldn't remember which one was it! Arrgghhh....Anyway, this is the 3rd movie and Little Arielle has already forgotten how was it like to be watching movie in a cinema. Opps....the wait has been too long! So, she was very happy that she can go and watch Cars 2 today :) So much so that she would behave once you threaten her that she would not get to watch if she misbehave hee!

We took a few pic before going in. Apparently, it was with the Smurfs, instead of Cars 2! Cos I din see any Cars 2 posters leh....

*Relaxing in her seat before the show starts* - Uploaded on 4 Sep 2011

Well, she enjoyed the movie and both XP and I did! Din know that it was so comical and the graphics were amazing! It was a far better production compared to Cars 1! Keep up the good work!! Even though she enjoyed the movie, she din sit by herself throughout. But I was already happy that she sat alone for about 1 hour and she came over and sat on XP's lap for the last half hour! Good job :)Was happy that the show was great and Little Arielle behaved throughout! Even though she had a few questions here and there :p

Next up, SMURFS!!!

ABCs....

Was practising ABCs with Little Arielle in the car while we were on our way to watch Cars 2. Am so glad that she can come up with words for each alphabet and best of all, some of the words are not those common ones that we would use! Just like D for Dinosaurs, L for Lollipop, Z for Zipper blah blah blah.... Hmm, her vocab is not too bad afterall hahahaha :p

The Second Time!

Some days ago, the topic of going over to Little Arielle's nai nai's house was brought up and she immediately rejected the idea of going over. She recollected her ear infection incident where She said that nai nai was fierce and scolded her!

When we were causually talking about sending her over to nai nai's house this evening, she immediately resented the idea! In the past, she always wanted to go over! Goes to show that how impactful that previous incident was!

I must say that kids' memory are good! They can really remember what has happened and how they have been treated. So don't let them have bad memories in their childhood!

So Disappointed....

Saw one of my friend posted her girl's pic in FB and said that she's there for photoshoot for the SK jewelry contest. Arrrggghhh I got quite disappointed that Little Arielle was not shortlisted....

Hmm she's ghat bad looking meh?
