Christmas celebration 2016

As we are grounded this year, our Christmas celebration became a simple family affair.

Kris was over joyed with all the Christmas decoration that she saw

• Orchard Gateway: Mermaid sighting and bubblestorm. This got her exciting and raving for 2 weeks and keep pleading us to go again and again so that she can revisit the mermaid and pop those bubbles.  "Mama, where is the mermaid mama and papa?"
• Centrepoint: The giant clock, muffins, cupcake, gingerbread man are every girls dream. We stood there staring at the muffin for a while. Strawberries cake here I come.
• Orchard Central: The pastel white and blue Christmas tree looks absolutely gorgeous.
• Ion: White reindeer's are so mythic
• Jem: Lighted reindeer's got her all excited again
• Tanglin Mall: For its daily 8pm foam party

While shopping at Ikea, my husband brought a miniature Christmas tree for Kris to decorate as we are not taking out our huge Christmas tree this year.

All clingy when she saw the mermaid

Year End Concert

My little butterfly performed so well during her school year end concert. No stage fright at all.

Changi love kids

For the entire month of Oct, Changi runs a program to welcome kids to it's facilities.

• Some restaurants conducted promotion where kids eat for free for each paying adult.
• All kids get a free "Changi love kids" pack where it contains an activities book with various activities such as maze, sticker page, dotted lines etc. The pack also comes with a mini block colouring pen which is absolutely great. This pen is so convenient that I packed it in my bag and lug it wherever I go. 
• With every $50 spent in a single receipt, we got to exchange for 2 kiddy ride session. There are numerous kiddy rides that the kids could choose from. 
• For kids who are tall enough, the could also redeem for T3@slides rides. Unfortunately, Kris wasn't tall enough for the slides :(

PS: Kris enjoyed going to the airport and welcoming her papa home. It's always heart warming to see them run towards one another and ended up in a warm hug. My 2 chipmunks.

Blast from the past

The saying of days are slow but years are fast is true. I recalled carrying Kris home when she was just born feeling the jittery of caring of a newborn every day and night and her depending on me for her daily food, play and attention.

Now, she is my little helper. Helping us to throw certain things away in the rubbish bin, grab our tv remote control, role playing as master chef junior, wearing her own shoes and helping to press the lift down on a daily fashion.

She is also able to converse in full sentences with us now which left us rather speechless at times.

At Birth

At 3 years old

Hello Kitty Cafe @Changi Airport T3

Hello Kitty Cafe has arrived in Singapore!!!

We decided that this definitely warrant a visit as Kris has gone "gaga" over this character recently but the question is when is the right time? We are extremely afraid of long queue and waiting time and so decided to visit the cafe on a weekday morning.

Kris was extremely happy and beaming with joy when I told her where we are going that morning.

The cafe was beautifully decorated with lost of kitty character stuff (Balloons, Tables and chairs, Ribboned box). Kris couldn't stop posing with the characters when she arrived.

Personally, I felt that the place was beautifully decorated and somewhat very dreamy. A nice place to have a cup of coffee or tea. However, the food was not yummy and slightly over priced.

Activity Village

As Kris is still very involved in her scissors (cutting motor skills), I'm thinking of activities for her to do instead of cutting random shapes and sizes.

I chanced upon this website and found it contain various activities for the kids to do and that include activities sheet for cutting straight, wavy and zig zag lines.

She is totally thrilled when I presented her the activities sheets and started to cut. Although, not prefect but we will get there as we practiced together on the zig zag lines.
