Pregancy Test!!!

Ask any woman what does line means and they will tell you, one line = negative and two lines = positive.

After a month of 5 full meals a day, nauseous feeling now and then, zzz monster attacking stronger and stronger, and delayed menses, Mummy decided to do a pregancy test. Mummy test kit shows 2 lines!!! Everything is according to plan, our next baby will arrive in April 2009 and just as Daddy wants, to be anywhere in between Kelly's and his birthday, that is 22 - 29 April. The chances of fulfilling Daddy's wish is very high. Daddy says that it is so much easier to celebrate 2 birthday at the same party. That's man...Faint!!!

Shekinah Montessori - Term 1 Lesson 4 & breakfast with Ryan didi

While we were entering the class, an elder boy by the side of the door suddenly pushed Kelly and caused her to fall and hit her face against the door. Although it was a slight hit but we were expecting the mother to apologise and to our surprise, the mother did not respond. Mummy immediately told Kelly that it is alright and kept looking at the child, it was then the mother realised that we expect an apology. What kind of manner is the mother teaching her child?

Teacher Liana taught us a few new songs in class today and as compared to the old songs, Mummy preferred the new ones. Kelly likes to go around shaking her friends' hand and giving them high-5.

We started Kelly with puzzle for practical session and she seems to be doing well. She can do a lot better in shapes, especially square. Kelly can work with cyclinder better this week, she can place back most of the cyclinder in the correct place. Daddy introduced the pink tower to Kelly but Kelly can't seems to figure out how it works, we will work on it next week. The last item Kelly did was scoping red beans from one bowl to another using a spoon, she can't hold the spoon very well yet. The most terrible part is she refused to put the spoon back and make a big fuss, Mummy got no choice but to bring her to one corner and talked to her till she put the spoon down.




After class, we meet up with Aunty Cynthia, Uncle YS and Ryan didi for brunch. Ryan didi came with 2 cuts near his eye, it was a relief to know that he did not injured his eyeball. Daddy brought the 2 kids to ride on the coin operated toy car and surprising, Ryan didi cried once the car moved. All of us laughed till we nearly rolled on the floor.

A Night Date with Ryan didi

Mummy and Aunty Cynthia went Compasspoint for tea at Sakae Sushi and Aunty Cynthia invite Kelly over to play with Ryan. We went home to meet up with Daddy and Kelly before proceeding to Nanny's place to pick up Ryan.

Ryan gave us a surprised but happy look. Ryan is so cute, he has grown so tall since the last time we met and Ryan can walk very well now. The 2 kids strolled back home and not long after, Uncle YS also reached home from work. Pizza arrived shortly.

Ryan got so much toys that Kelly has forgotten that she was not at home and just go around playing all the toys, making herself so comfortable. This is probably the only house that Kelly don't have to cling on to Daddy and Mummy all the time.



Ryan went to sleep at about 2130hrs and we left for home at around 2200hrs.

Right Brain - Term 1 Lesson 4

After breakfast, Daddy and Mummy brought Kelly for her Right Brain class. Today in class were Kelly, Sean, Resha and Jordan. All the other 3 babies were not feeling well, running nose and cough, Mummy was wondering if it is actually safer if the sick children don't come for class.

First we went fishing...

Then we learn what is near n far...

We do colour sorting...

Last we learn about the different kind of ropes!

As usual, Kelly loves her song sessions the most. She will usually grabbed her materials and sit on the floor to explore but during song sessions, she will quickly climbed on to her chair and wait for the music to start.

Climbing on to her chair for song session...

Don't know why Kelly is so tired after class??!

We intend to bring Kelly to a park after her class but it started to drizzle once we stepped out of class so we went home directly.

Kelly likes to sit this way!

Junior Race

The last trip to Downtown East with Aunty Serene, we signed up the 2 girls for the Junior race organised by exploresKidz. Unfortunately, Shernise can't make it today so only Kelly went for the contest. We saw kids dressed in the cuttiest outfit for the photo contest and among all, one baby boy dressed in the Dinosaur outfit caught out attention and true enough, he came in first.

On your mark...
Get set...
Go!!!

Although Kelly did not win any prize but the event was fun and Kelly enjoyed running around with her 2 balloons and making friend with the elder kids.

Shekinah Montessori - Term 1 Lesson 3

It's been a while since we last attended class as Daddy was busy for the past few weekends. Kelly is still as crazy about her singing and dancing session. At the start of the music, she will dance and shake non-stop, although it wasn't what Teacher Liana was dancing but Mummy was still happy to see Kelly trying hard to imitate and of the course the most important is that she enjoyed herself.


For practical session, we worked with the beads threading and wooden cylinder again. Kelly knew that she got to get her own material from the shelf and work on the mat. We first worked on threading and this time, Kelly can thread and pull the string through without much help. She went to collect a set of cylinder and placed the tray on the mat. After which she took out the cylinder and placed them beside the tray before placing them back again. Mummy believed that children do know how to repeat some actions after a few times of demo. Good job Kelly!


Working on threading to improve eyes and hands coordination...


Notice all the cylinders are on the mat!!!

Cooking Sunday

Kelly is still not feeling too well with blocked nose and a bit of bleeding now and then. After another visit to the doctor on Friday, we were told to wait for our ENT appointment on 21 August 2008 to go into detailed scanning to find the root of the bleeding. It is no doubt worrying but we try our best to look on the bright side hoping it is just a wound in the nostril that caused the bleed.

Since its a Sunday, we brought Kelly out for lunch at Ikea and followed by a shopping trip to Giant to shop for our Mushroom steamboat ingredients. We had been having different kinds of steamboat for the past one week and all turned out to be super yummy! Who needs restaurant when you have a super chef at home??!

Beijing Olympic 2008

8 August 2008 (8-8-08) is marked as an auspicious day for the Chinese as the number 8 symbolises prosperity and wealth. I think that is the main reason why China choose to have the Olympic opening on this remarkable date. Daddy and Mummy are truly amazed by the opening ceremony which was directed by the renowned director, Zhang Yimou. The performance is just as good and grand as those found in his movies.

The union between men...

On the night of August 8, 2008, the sound of heavy footsteps thundered across the "Bird's Nest" as colossal burning "footprints" marched in the sky along Beijing's central axis all the way through the Olympic Green to the National Stadium. As the last "footprint" lit up the sky above the National Stadium, spectators all over the world began a virtual tour of Chinese culture.

Dinner with 'A' Family

We have a dinner date with our neighbour - Aunty Ally, Uncle Andrew and Aaron didi for dinner tonight. Before dinner, we went to Royal Sporting House to get a pair of soccer socks for Daddy. Daddy wanted to get a pair of Adidas predator but to no avail so a trip to Queensway shopping centre is nearing. Kelly had so much fun running around the shop and playing with the soccer balls.

We proceeded to Swensen to meet up with the 'A' family. Aaron is now 7 months old and he has grown so much since the last time we saw him.

Aunty Ally, Aaron, Kelly and Mummy...

Nice picture!

Right Brain - Term 1 Lesson 3

Kelly has a new classmate today, Resha. There were 4 children altogether for today's class. Mummy finds that it is too crowded for 9 persons to be in 1 small room and especially when a kid is distracting, all others will be affected.

Kelly was not in her good old self today, she was grouchy and throwing tantrum except during the songs session. She will stopped and danced to the music but once over, she wondered around the classroom again.

I think her blocked nose is making her very uncomfortable, just hope she will be better at the next class.

Kelly, Jordan, Resha and Sean...

On the way home, with her super 'bo chap' attitude!
