Kelly's 1st day of school

Kelly was supposed to start school on 1 April 2009 but since we had decided to deliver baby on 31 March 2009, we sent her in 2 days earlier to let her get used to the place and most importantly, Mummy is worried that Daddy can’t handle Kelly alone.

After breakfast and shower, when Aunty Su puts on the school uniform for Kelly, she was overjoyed.

We reached school after breakfast as usually Monday, most of the children will be crying since it's the start of a new week. When we reached, the classes were all having their lessons. Kelly sat in to the toddlers class and it was their Mandarin class, teacher was singing songs and teaching them the actions. After Mandarin class, they moved on to the dramatic room for pretend play. The children were given different fruits and food, the teachers will sing the fruit songs.

Daddy and Mummy left 30mins later without Kelly's knowing. When we went back to picked her at 1730hrs, Teacher Du commented that Kelly was a good girl and didn't cry much. We were so proud of her!

Getting ready for school and dim sum lunch

We recived a call from Carpe Diem last week to confirm Kelly's enrollment and we can go down anytime to get her uniforms, mattress, etc. Though a bit rush but everything seems to fall into place perfectly within the 2 weeks. From the return of Aunty Su, renewing her passport and permit to getting Kelly ready for first day of school and lastly the arrival of newborn.

We popped by Carpe Diem to try out the sizes before we decide on Size S for T-shirts and shorts, and Size M for dress. After trying out the uniforms, Kelly can't wait to go out as there is a family day event going on in the garden organised by some parents.

Nice uniform!

After we got the items ready for Kelly to start school on Monday, we headed down to Chinatown for dim sum. It's been a long long time since we last patronised Red Star Restaurant as their food is only average but we like the push cart atmosphere, it's just so cantonese.

Kelly loves egg tart as much as Daddy!!!

McDonald's again!!!

It's got to be McDonald's lunch again since Mummy is craving for it and it's just a few days before Mummy got to stay at home and eat all the home-cooked confinrmrnt food. Over the past 2 months, Kelly had started to pick up our type of diet, food to go with sauce. Kelly's tolerance level for chilli is quite high too, just like Mummy's.

French fries with chilli sauce and mayo...yummy!

Gynae Appointment at 36 weeks 3 days

Another routine weekly check up at Dr. Adrian's clinic gave us an unexpected surprise. Dr. revealed that baby's head is still on the right side of Mummy's tummy and the possibility of baby not turning down is 99% since we are closed to 37 weeks. Dr. suggested that Mummy goes for c-sect anytime before 3 April 2009 in order to avoid any complication just in case contractions come or water bag burst first before baby’s head is engaged, that would means an emergency c-sect which would be dangerous for both Mummy and baby.

It has never crossed my mind to have a c-sect for delivery and this news was a shock to both Daddy and Mummy. We can’t decide on whether to head Dr.’s advice or to wait for 1 more week and see if baby decides to be cooperative.

Mummy called up friends who had gone through c-sect to get advices and the only good thing we know is that, through c-sect, we can choose the date and time that we want baby to be out and things will be more organised n prepared. C-sect to Mummy is just so unnatural, thinking on the day, Mummy bring along a luggage bag and check into TMC, waiting for baby to be out in 5mins, doesn’t it looks like a holiday??!

Breakfast with Shernise

It's been a long while since we last saw Uncle Bernard, Aunty Serene and Shernise. We met up at Burger King for breakfast on this lovely Saturday morning. Shernise had grown so much and her hair is now even more dolly.

Shernise and Kelly...

Aunty Serene knew that Mummy had enrolled Kelly at Carpe Diem Childcare Resort and was curious to check that place out since Mummy greatly recommended. We drove over to the school after breakfast. Shernise seems to like the place as much as Kelly, hope they can be classmates next year.

Best friends??!

Lunch at Ikea

We went Ikea for lunch as we will be going to Giant to stock up food since Aunty Su is back and will start to cook dinner for all of us.

Mummy preggie @ 36weeks...

Kelly showed lots of expressions and Daddy just can't resist snapping them down!

Expressive Kelly!!!

Cutie Pie

Early in the morning, after Kelly woke up, she went to our study room and took out her hat and started posing. It was a wonderful feeling to wake up to a smiley Kelly!

Lovely Kelly!

Return of Aunty Su

Finally after 2 months and 2 days, Aunty Su is back in action. The plane is scheduled to touch down at 1850hrs and by the time we arrived, it was raining heavy. Since T1 is an open air carpark, Daddy and Kelly waited in the car while Mummy went down to fetch Aunty Su.

At first we were afraid that Kelly might have forgotten Aunty Su and need some time to warm up with her, who knows the moment Aunty Su got into the car, Kelly laughed non-stop, she seems to know that her helper is back.

After the return of Aunty Su, we looked forward to the arrival of our newborn!

Malaysia again!

This is a long week for all of us. We were in Malaysia for 6 days straight and at the same place. We were lucky that 9 March 2009 was a Public Holiday in Malaysia and Ms Wong with her daughter, Zi Xin came to fetch Mummy and Kelly out for McDonald breakfast. A normal Big breakfast and Hotcakes with sausage could taste so wonderful Malaysia.

After breakfast, we went to Tesco for a walk and to grab some snacks back. There was a Thai food fair going on so we bought back some mango rice and papaya salad. The mango was delicious, fleshy and sweet.

Zi Xin, Ms Wong, Kelly and Mummy...

We were super lucky to have Peiting and Terry to accompany Kelly throughout our stay else Mummy will not be able to cope with the ever active Kelly. Uncle Terry is camera shy, that's why he refused to take picture with us.

Peiting, Kelly and Mummy...

The 2 months spent with Kelly was really a life experience, especially with the 2nd pregnancy. No doubt it was tough but the moments were priceless. The way Kelly cuddle Mummy to sleep, the bear hugs that she gives, the wet kisses that she plant on our faces, the songs that she sing, etc were all special memories to Mummy.

Mummy and Kelly...

Kelly loves to kiss Mummy's tummy and say 'Jiejie love u'!!!

Arrival of Godmama's princess

After 2 days of waiting in hospital, Kelly's Godmama finally gave birth to baby Kayla on 7 March 2009. We arrived early in the morning at Mount Alvernia to visit Godmama and baby before we followed Daddy to Malaysia again. Baby is so cute with 2 dimples.

Baby sound asleep...

Kelly loves baby absolutely. At the sight of meimei, she can't wait to go up and touch her.



Kelly and baby!
