She Has Grown....

It's one of Little Arielle's usual art class and I just accompanied her with the usual attitude (kinda of xianz cos it's nagging time again!). Today's theme is turtle and after the teacher started to draw on the board to show them how to start the stroke, Little Arielle was very excited and she kept saying that she knows how to draw!

I'm very surprised with her enthusiam and later, the teacher confirmed that it was indeed kind of easy to draw for today's theme. That being the case, I was more than happy cos it means that I would vomit less blood :p

I felt so consoled when Little Arielle presented the following drawing to me. This is by far, the only piece that she really had less than 1% of help from me! I'm really proud of her and I'm sure hope that this would be a good beginning to the rest of her lessons. There's just an undescriable feeling and I just felt happy for her that she has finally began depending on herself :) and she can be on her own! Best of all, I really felt that the patterns drawn on the turtle's back were created by herself and it's very nice!

And usually, when XP arrives, he would help to do the outline for her but this time round, she insisted to do it on her own. Surprisingly, she did a pretty good job on her first attempt, with touch up by XP :)

This is the first time that I did not regret signing her up for the class and diligently following her throughout! She seemed to have grown overnight and she just knew how to do a lot of things on her own. That really caught me by surprise and it's a pleasant one :) Keep up the good works and Mummy is proud of you!!

phito shoot - 28 apr

Finally got a slot

The Wall Caused It!

My injury prone gal just showed me this ->

*Little Arielle's injury on her left leg* - Uploaded on 02 May 2011

When asked her what happened and she said that my wall caused it! Hmm, actually it's possible cos my wall is of uneven surface. Opps :p

What's Wrong with This?

You know what's the problem with this piece of work? Yeah....that's right! Little Arielle wrote the number 4 and 5 in the wrong direction!

Faintz....is that a common problem with left handed?

*Opposite way....* - Uploaded on 02 May 2011

Proud Little Gal :)

Little Arielle was super excited this evening when they saw us after work. She asked me to close my eyes and showed me her work in school.

After I was allowed to open my eyes, I knew why she was so excited :) She scored full marks in one of her piece of work and was given 2 stars by her teacher. She was so happy about it and we took the chance to encourage her further :p Hahaha, stickers these days still have the same effect like what we had in our younger days! Inventor of this item is brilliant!

*First time getting full marks* - Uploaded on 02 May 2011

1, 2, 3 & 4

Yeah! Mama has done a good job and Luttle Arielle knows how to spell from 1 - 4 :) Yippee! What a great achievement!

iPhone Obession!

Wat seh! Nowadays, Little Arielle would ask to play iPhone games when her eyes are opened until they are closed! *pengz*

Keeping Her Busy!

It's another Sunday where XP needs to go for class. And Mummy Me is just lazy to bring Little Arielle out.

So in order to keep her busy so that I can have time on my own, I first let her watched Beauty & the Beast.

And now, I have asked her to do colouring!

Hmm....what shall I ask her to do next??

Btw, here's her completed coloured piece :)

Learning Thai?

Little Arielle just happily took XP's iPhone and played with the learning Thai programme in it. Hahaha I thought it sounded very comical and kept laughing at her :p

Satay Lover

Was supposed to go Suntec but Little Arielle made XP angry that he decided not to go! What happened was she was all dressed up and kept complaining that her socks were tight. Told her that it's not and she got angry and kicked XP when he tried to help her wear her shoes. Wow....that really made him mad. So she got a beating, as usual and poor me, cannot go out shopping :(

But still we gotta eat. So in the end, ended up at Lavender Food Square. One of the items that XP ordered was satay and I saw that Little Arielle was so pitiful from the beating, she got to eat the satay and she was super happy about it!

Scared of Teacher!

I woke up this morning and realised that XP forgot to bring out Little Arielle's homework. Mama called shortly and questioned me why I did not remind XP to do so :( She went along to say that Little Arielle was crying badly over this matter.

So I asked her to come to the phone and asked her why she was crying. Then she said the homework folder was forgotten and she was afraid that her teacher will scold her. Wahhh....are they really so scared of the teacher?

In any case, I just told her to tell teacher that Daddy forgot to bring and we will submit next week. If she scolds her, ask her to tell me.

But after thinking for a while, I decided to call and just let her teacher know in advance. Hmm, she just said let her come to school and let her explain herself. I kinda expected this answer. So, okie then....I will not let mama know that I have already informed the school.

Seems like Little Arielle is more afraid of the teacher than me! Why ah? Must do self-reflection liaoz hahaha!

Teaching in Action

Wat seh! I really admire my mama's patience in teaching Little Arielle. This evening, I just need to teach her a few numbers and I can feel my blood boiling.

Jiat lard lah....where did my patience go? Please come back!

A Roller Coaster Day :(

It the day of Little Arielle's outdoor shoot. An activity that Mummy Me has been looking forward too and specially took half day leave for it!

Morning did not turn out well because XP thought that I was on leave for the whole day and only came by at 7am telling me that he is leaving for work. I immediately sprang out of my bed and told him that I was on PM leave! He looked very annoyed and sat at one corner waiting for me to get ready.

And of course by the time we reached office, we gotta pay the hefy ERP charge of $3. Oh well, I din do it on purpose and apparently he was the one who din get it right in the first place.

In any case, I wasn't really that bothered by his attitude cos I was looking forward to the shoot. Few hours passed and I happened to pass by the window and realised that the sky was super dark. From that moment, my mood became super bad :( Thereafter, it really rained!

The studio staff updated in their FB page that they are monitoring the situation and will let us know if we are going to proceed. So at about 2pm+, they mentioned that the rain is lighter and we can proceed. I was so happy! But this was short-lived! They called me just when I was about to leave office and said that the rain got heavier and they are going to postpone. Arrgghh I got so upset because if it is postponed to 29th Apr, I can't go! Then they said that they would wait until 4+ and update me again. So I asked boss if I can cancel my leave cos I have been staying in office until almost 3pm and I foresee that the weather is not gonna turn out any better.

Apparently, I can't cancel my leave and I decided to go home immediately. While waiting for my bus, the studio staff called again and told us to go down for the shoot. Boy, was I happy! But then again, looking at the weather, I was hesistant. Just when I was about to reach, the staff called again and said that it would be postponed. I requested to come down cos I don't want to take leave le! So I die die also wanna have it taken!

*Little Arielle sleeping away on our way to the destination* - Uploaded on 24 Apr 11

Luckily the rain really became lighter when I reached. There was another family in front of me who is about to finish their shot.

When it was Little Arielle's turn, she was somehow very happy about it. And best of all, her smile was so natural :) I was really hoping that the pic would turn out well, even though the full props were not in use due to the rain. Even I myself forgot to bring out the props that I brought! There was no shelter and place to put my things at all. But I must agree that the trees and grass made it a good place for photoshoot! Probably I should go there and take pic myself in future for Little Arielle. I'm sure the effect would be super nice :)

And also, praying hard that the mud stains on her dress can be removed! Cos she fell on her bum while playing in the field!

Hmm should I consider taking it again leh? If they can have some good dates, probably hor!

So Sad...

It's so sad to know that your little one fell asleep while waiting for you to accompany her!

Shin Min Fun Drive 2011 is Here!

Yippee! Was happy in the morning when XP showed me his leave application and it has indicated drive to Msia. Immediately I knew that it was for the annual Shin Min Fun Drive! This is the 3rd year that we are participating :) Was already upset when we couldn't go for the SUVival Challenge in Apr and luckily, we can make it for the Shin Min Drive!

This year's drive is made more special because it's not the usual 1 night stay but 3 :) And the place that we are gonna stay will be AWANA KIJAL BEACH, GOLF & SPA RESORT (2 nights) / Genting Highland (1 night).

Wee....am so looking forward to it! May and June's gonna be a happy month for us so there's so many overseas line up!

Swimming Time!

I just causally told Little Arielle yesterday that if she behaves herself well this morning and Mummy Me is not having a bad mood, she will get to go for her swim.

So the moment she saw that I was awake, she started bugging me to bring her to the pool. She should count herself lucky that she did not irritate me.

So after I did some of the chores, I brought out her float and damn! I couldn't find the pump and in the end, had to blow up the float for her. Faintz....I almost died of breathlessness....Her action was super fast and in no time, she was already enjoying herself in the pool even though the water was so cold!

The float really helped cos I can play my FB games peacefully while she was happily playing with the slide.

All of a sudden, don't know what she did and I saw her floating to the adult pool. I quickly asked her to 'swim' back but she was floating further away from me. She got scared and started to cry cos she knew that she could not touch the floor. I was scared too cos I wasn't in my costume and apparently, I don't know how to save a person.

Luckily I stayed calm, gave her encouragement and she steadily paddled herself back to me. Hmm this would teach her a lesson not to geh kiang!

Played for almost 45 mins to 1 hour and it's time to bring her home. Her lips have already turned purple :P

But I knew that she has enjoyed herself tremendously :)

*Pending photo upload*

Ahhhh all the sufferings at work is worth the while :)

*Pending upload of pic*

Carnival!

Little Arielle's school is organising a carnival and it's on this Sunday :P

We just got our tickets today and for one, I am looking forward to the fun this Sunday....

So Sweet....

It's so sweet to know when someone covers you with blanket when you are sleeping. And that someone is my little girl :P

Pink Flamingos!

Sigh....is this some kind of a joke? Just when I was upset about not being able to get a unit in Flamingo Valley, we had to draw flamingos today!

Arrgghhh! XP was busy watching tv and came later than usual. As such, Mummy Me did the outline for her pic instead of XP.

After the class, we had Xing Hua food for dinner. I supposed we came too late and they din have anymore rice. In the end, had to order bee hoon instead! Still prefer white rice though!

*Uploaded on 27 Mar 2011*

Ridiculous Deadline!

Got some 'homework' to do for Little Arielle. Here's what I need to do ->

*Items required* - Uploaded on 27 Mar 2011 So when I asked Little Arielle when do we need to submit the pictures and she actually told me tomorrow!! Wahhh....the school thinks that I have ready pictures at all is it! Even though can get from the internet, they cannot assume all families will have printers de lor! Well, at least for us, we don't have lor! So angry! Hmm....must feedback to the school liaoz! And yah, Little Arielle also wanna have a say in the pic that I chose. Her kpo-ness is making me irritated too!

Arrgghhh....

Toilet Trained :)

At long last, Little Arielle is finally toilet trained! I think this has happened few weeks back but I was 'officially' informed by XP today that she would wake him up in the middle of the night asking him to on the toilet lights for her. Keep up the good work!!

Taiji Master!

Hahaha that's what Ah Tan described Little Arielle when I told her the following:

Conversation between mama and Little Arielle:

Mama: 你有没有学写你的名字?
LA: 没有!
Mama: 为什么?
LA: 你去问我的mummy lor!

Wahh this girl is good lor! Just taiji everything to me! Hmph!

Disney Princess Makeover

It's gonna be another one man show because XP is on his full day course today. I din go out really early today because I kinda know the bus route since we are taking the same bus as yesterday. I remembered about the OCBC sticker and brought it out for Little Arielle to play. Reached City Hall at about 1pm and we went to take a look at how the shoot was going to be done

Moodless....

Mummy Me is just not feeling the best and thanks to XP, who was able to entertain Little Arielle during this period....

Tough Life Nowadays!

Got the folder from mama on Fri and was told that I need to go through some 生字 with Little Arielle over the weekend. I took a quick glance and was shocked! The words seem to be so difficult for a K1 student!

So I went through with her this evening and she could only recognise a few. Taught her those that she does not know and hope that she would remember it. Well, she did remember when we revised with her but not sure if she would still remember it after a night's sleep. Sigh....kids' lives are so tough nowadays! Kinda pity them though....

Disney Princess Shoot @ KidsCoverLooks

Little Arielle had her photoshoot done today for the Disney Princess Model Search. Mummy Me was very kan cheong for no apparent reason! Faintz....

Went to hunt for her black pins and in the end, she did not use it for her hair! Alamak! Did a simple hairdo and the person there redo for me. Well, the new effect wasn't any better....And I couldn't take a pic of her cos they don't allow photography in the studio. So, please wait for my updates on the pic in about 2-3 weeks' time :P

Paid a total of $121 cos there was a nominal fee of $48 and 3 soft copies pic (1st 2 @ $58 and 3rd pic @ $15). Hee....seems like they either waive or forgot to charge me the additional weekend surcharge of $28.

Sigh....if Little Arielle was able to smile naturally and not showing a fakey smile, I would have bought more pics. And of course, I don't think she stand a chance for the search. Nevermind lah, at least got a Snow White costume back but well, the size is a bit big for her. Hee....better than nothing!

*The Snow White costume retailing @ $29.90* - Uploaded on 6 Mar 2011

Will wait 2 weeks to get her 1 pic of 8R, calendar shoot + her softcopies pic.

Though the shoot results wasn't that satisfying, what made us happy was that we were able to go Orchard for a while to do window shopping! It seems like years ago that we last stepped into Orchard. And it happened cos the Far East Shopping Centre had per entry parking charge on a Sunday! So we were able to walk to our hearts' content! Visited Ion, Taka & Wisma....that's good enough :)

Looking forward to another round 2 weeks later :P

Atas Gal!

Eversince Little Arielle tried those bottled bird nest and she knew where it was kept, she would haunt me every weekend morning asking for one! And when she finished one bottle, she wanted to have another one!

What a high maintenance gal!

Her Cute Language Again :)

你很farnie leh! 嘴巴用来讲话，你叫我keep quiet!

That's what Arielle said to XP when he asked her to keep quiet! I wonder if she would be so alert in her studies!

2nd Refresher Class

Little Arielle was not very willing to attend the class and she kept complaining about her teacher, Cherry. I guessed she just doesn't really like her but I do not know the reason for that!

Anyway, she was still asked to attend the class! Luckily, she did not show any resistance! While she is attending her class, I listened to the briefing conducted by Paul. This is the second time that I am hearing the same thing.

He mentioned about the showcase of models show done by Impact Models and said that they might be doing it this year since it did not happen last year. They can only take in 60 models and each model would have to pay at least $1k to $2k. My jaws almost dropped when I heard it last year. But since, this was the second time, it did not come as a surprise to me. Hmm should I let Little Arielle participate? That would be about $2k gone from my pocket leh! Sigh....actually I'm okie but I think XP would be the one who would object. I shall see how to persuade him when the time comes hee!

Next, he mentioned about a fashion show that might take place towards Q3. He would choose 77 models to showcase. Wahh, I hope that Little Arielle would be one of his choice. Let's cross our fingers and hope that she would do well in the catwalk show next week.

Then, I also expressed interest in the Little Fashion Party that would be taking place on 22 Jun. A one day programme will cost $180. Hmm, hopefully all these investments on her will have positive results :P

Nice Beautiful Mermaid....

Hmm....just like Little Arielle!

After missing lessons for 2 weeks, this is the first lesson that Little Arielle is attending for the new sememster. I decided to stay with her instead of the past 2 ocassions where I disappeared and left her in the care of her teacher.

In addition, I decided to help her out here and there, instead of leaving her in the lurch. That would probably make her less helpless and it would help her in doing a better drawing....I hope :)

I must say I'm quite satisfied with her works tonight :P

Our Drawings....

Got back Little Arielle's folder from her school and as I was flipping through it, I saw her drawing for both XP and me.

Ahhh....just got an indescribable feeling of happiness when I saw it. Can see that her drawing has really improved a lot! At least, it definitely looked like humans. Best of all, I can really tell the gender between the two :)

Little Arielle was observant enough to draw XP in his favourite bermudas and mi wearing a big smile.

Way to go, darling!!

Bottle Buddy - Indeed a Good Buddy!

Mummy Me ordered this item some time ago and finally, it came in the mail on Monday but I only have time to show it to Little Arielle this evening. She was so excited about it and immediately wanted to try it on.

I'm happy that she loves it cos she will carry her own bottle in future when we go out and she can also use it during her outing. Best of all, the strap is customised with her name :P Yippee!

Wounded Again :(

Little Arielle was tearing away and complaining of pain when we picked her up from mama's house. Only knew that she had some injuries but did not know how bad it was cos it was dim in the car and I could not see properly.

It was only when I reached home that I realised that the cut was so bad!! Best of all, Little Arielle would still ask me to take a pic. XP said that she already knew my pattern hee :P Got to know from her that she did not keep her things properly and went for her afternoon nap. When she woke up, she brushed against a ruler and here's the result ->

*Din look so jiat lard from far* - Uploaded on 6 Mar 2011

Win already lor! Only at a young age of 4, her legs are full of scars! She is worst than a boy!!!

Kena Scolded....

by Little Arielle! I still cannot swallow it but felt that she's a bit right hahahha!

Little Arielle was telling me last night about some dinosaurs and that it must not be bigger than her finger, so on and so forth.

Don't know what the hell she is talking about and decided to ignore her!

This morning, she woke up and asked me in the car:

LA: Mummy, where is my dinosaur?
Me: What dinosaur?
LA: 跟你讲了很多次, 为什么你没有听??
Me: 我都不懂你在讲什么?
LA: 我跟你讲最后一次!!
Me: Loss of words and have to listen to her attentively!

Faintz....what is the world coming to??

Sleepyhead!

Mama complained to me about Little Arielle. She said that she refused to go to school because she claimed that she did not sleep last night and wanted to sleep instead of attending school.

Too bad, mama is not gonna grant her her wish. Dragged her to school and she was crying away. In the end, no choice for her as Ms Tan got her into her class.

So I got questioned by mama asking if Little Arielle really missed her sleep last night. Arrghhh, apparently not lor! Shall make her sleep early tonight!

Guilty Me....

We borrowed books from the library near my neighbourhood and had previously promised Little Arielle that I would read to her.

Oh well, have always been busy busy busy and in the end, did not read the books to her at all. So, I promised her that I would bring her to the library today so that she can read and borrow new books.

Early in the morning, she was so excited, came to my room when she woke up and immediately wanted to go to the library. Managed to convince her to go in the afternoon but in the end, I still did not bring to her to the library. She was so disappointed....

I only managed to renew the same set of books and I promised her that I will bring her to the library next week. Arrghh, I better make good my promise man!

Disney Princess Model Search!

The search is now on! And Little Arielle is excited to be part of it! Saw this post on Facebook and I made the call today hoping that there are still slots left. Learnt from my last lesson to call early liaoz! I remembered I wanted to enroll her for the Christmas Kid Search and all the slots were already fully booked!

Luckily I managed to get a slot this round but gotta pay a surcharge of $28 cos I chose the shoot to be on a weekend. Arrghhh, bo pian lor. I din want to take leave to have the shoot so just pay the additional amount ba. Hopefully the shoot will turn out nice and there is available size for her costume!

Missing Lessons Again!

Mummy Me had a function this evening and was unable to bring Little Arielle for her art class. XP was hence tasked to do so.

When they came and picked me up after my function, XP told me that he did not bring her to class cos he went to run some errands! Arrghh wasted my $10 cos we have missed 2 lessons!

A Blessing in Disguise!

Our flight was supposed to be 8pm this evening and already, it was a rush for Mummy Me. Luckily, boss was kind enough to let me go off half an hour earlier. So I went off at 5.30pm, cheong to Uniquo at Tampines One to get my long john, picked Little Arielle up, rushed back home to finish the last bit of packing, took shower and ahhh....was on the cab at about 7pm. Xiong siaz....

We were lucky that the flight was delayed for 45minutes. While we were doing our check-in, we were even luckier because, due to this delayed flight, we were not in time to catch our connecting flight from HK to Japan.

As such, the airline upgraded us to A380, got a free dinner meal for all of us and best of all, we got a direct flight to Narita! Ahhh....seems like the good things are finally happening to us :)

Hopefully will get more good things and surprises in Japan! Let's enjoy our 5 days trip in Tokyo!!

Land of the rising sun....Here we come!!!

Worried!

Got news from mama that Tokyo snowed last night! I did hear news of Toyko snowing for the past few weeks but kinda choose to ignore cos it has never been on my mind that Toyko can snow (apparently, it did not snow when I went for honeymoon in Dec 2004).

Now it really seems like a reality that Tokyo did snow! I don't know if I should be happy or worried?

Happy cos my family can get to see snow and I think Little Arielle will be super excited about it! But worried cos not sure if we are adequately dressed for the weather....

XP already told me to get some long john before rushing to the airport this evening.

Damn! It's gonna be a RUSH again :(

Finally Done....

Am finally done with my luggage after struggling at it for 3hrs! Kept walking in and out picking up things that I see and hopefully remember to put it in. Most worried that I would forget something for Little Arielle!

The slowness of the packing was attributed to my sudden relapse of running nose + irritation from Little Arielle! No doubt she is super excited about the whole trip, she does gets on my nerve when she comes by and disturb me!

Worst of all, just when I was almost done, she came to me and said, Mummy, wo xi huan ni who left me most puzzled. I moved forward and hugged her and realised that she has wet the bed! And shit lor, it's on my bed! Arrghh super annoyed with her! Already not feeling well and tired from the packing and now I gotta kio her urine!

It just sucks :( Forget it, just got it done and over with and I want to go to bed, hoping that everything will go smoothly tomorrow!

Packing Sucks!

Sigh....packing for CNY sucks, so does packing for trip! Tried to do some packing last night and I feel so tired. But probably because we came back late and I was down with flu :(. But no escape tonight cos we would be flying off tomorrow night! The only happy thing is Little Arielle is super excited about it!

没良心!

Mummy Me: 明天读书了hor
Little Arielle: Yeah....不用看到你!

Arrgghhh....

A Boring Chu San....

The morning of Chu San started with XP going to the doc. Apparently, the few days of medication did not make him better :( Luckily Dr Sim is open today and we got mama's help to get a queue number for us first. That really made the wait so much shorter.

Dr Sim prescribed him with antibotics and told us that XP's case need it and normal panadol will not help. But he also mentioned that the antibotic would only take effect about 1.5 days later.

So after the doc, we went straight home and the rest of the day, XP was sleeping. He can really sleep for hours with short pockets of time eating some bread, drinking some water and taking his medication.

So for the whole day, I was like a nurse, feeding medication, taking temperature and at the same time, taking care of the mischievous gal.

Sigh....it was either the lappie or Little Arielle who accompanied me the whole day. So boring and the little one still made me angry by spilling soup on the floor. Arrgghhh!

Boring Chu Er

XP seems a little well today and he decided to fulfill Little Arielle's wish of going out to bai nian. Hmm I wonder if she really wants to bai nian or because she wants to wear her pom pom dress.

So we went to pick mama and HDD and went to Xiao Shu's house. Daddy could not join us as he was still not feeling well. Little Arielle was very happy at Xiao Shu's house and she ate a lot.

Wanted to visit another uncle of mine but he wasn't at home. Since XP has yet to fully recover, we decided to make our way home.

And for the rest of the evening, Little Arielle and I were just lazing around the house. Sigh....so boring....

CNY Reunion Dinner 2011

We usually have our reunion dinner early but this year, it's at 7.30pm cos my SIL was working. So Mummy Me's stomach was really 'grumbling'! Arrgghhh....

When we reached the restaurant at Park Royal Hotel, the Yu Sheng was already in place. Hee....means can start to eat soon! So after the lo-ing, we had the Yu Sheng and the Sharks Fin came very fast. This is Little Arielle's favourite and she really finished a bowl by herself. So happy to see her enjoying her food!

But after the Sharks Fin, the food came very late. It seems like an endless wait for the next dish to arrive! So in between, we went out to take some pic!

Here's a few nice ones which I like ->

Next dish was roasted chicken and we made an exception to let Little Arielle eat it. She hasn't eaten chicken for the past 1 year....And we were surprised when she said that she wanted the drumstick :) All right....your wish is granted :) And she really finished the bone clean!

The dinner lasted for 2 hours+. The long time taken was not because we were slow but rather the serving of the dishes was slow. We continued with photo takings in the hotel after dinner. Thereafter, we made our way home.

It was already 11pm+ when we reached home. After settling Little Arielle, I quickly went to sleep cos I was starting to have flu :( What a way to end the night! Actually thought of either going to the temple or to enjoy the fireworks. Apparently, none of the plan was materialised....

Not the End?

Hmm....just when I thought it's the end of spring cleaning, it doesn't seem to be so! XP was doing the last minute washing of the 2 toilets while I folded the clothes, washed clothes, did some cleaning and packing here and there. Wanted to steal a short nap but no chance to do so cos by the time we completed, it was almost time for reunion dinner....

And while clearing up, XP chanced upon these 2 toys which Mummy Me bought years ago and did not open up. Hee....gave a chance for Little Arielle to have new toys for the new year! Hopefully, she would be able to learn her numbers and alphabets better :)

Morning 'Sickness'

Usually Little Arielle will drink milk early in the morning like 6am+. I have noticed that for the past few days, she refused to do so. It's the 3rd consecutive day today and she is still behaving in this way.

Had to coax and tolerate her whining before she wants to drink it. Hmm....what's wrong with her leh?
