Family Photo

Last Sunday, since we are still early for our dinner, we brought the gals to Robinson for a walk and see if we can get anything for our new house.

While we were there, we were curious about Living Colours from Philips and there was a roadshow going on hosted by Vivien Tay. When she saw us approaching, she called out for us and apparently, there's no one watching her, so she asked if we would like to take a family photo.

Haha, we proceed to the set up in the Robinson and took the photo with the ambience colour purple cos Rachel told her that her favourite colour is Purple.

Not too bad, except that we came unprepared so the dressing were abit obiang. :P

1st Diaperless Night

I know, this is nothing to be proud, but though this happened only now at 5 yrs old, at least it happened now.

Rachel had gone through her first diaperless nite last nite and, managed to survive the night without wetting the bed. I hope this will continue so that our pocket will be spare a little from buying her diaper though she is sharing them with her sisters.

3 cheers for Rachel!! Hip hip.....Hooray!!!

Sick Sick Sick

It had been a loooooooong time since I last blogged. Been too busy.... busy with my work, my family and myself. :P

For the past few days, Reyna was sick....She suddenly developed fever on Friday night and on Saturday, the fever went up as high as 39.8 degC! She was soooo sticky to me.... but she was very tired and sick too... sat on me the whole day long and only wants me to carry her. But at any point when her fever subside a bit, she will join her sisters in their playing... so the moment she came looking for me, I know it's time for medicine. :P

Yesterday, her fever finally subsided to very mild fever and she started her cheeky and funky self. I'm so glad to see her alert and happy again.

Since it's been long I've blogged. Just upload a few recent photos of my gals bah:

This was the recent Barney show which we brought them to and I've spent a few hundred on this as I bought them the most expensive seat at the 2nd row in front of the stage.

It was quite an enjoyable show.... Think Rachel is out-growing Barney cos she's not too excited. It was Renise who got very excited and started screaming like calling out for idol... we were very surprised as we thought she will be irritated by the loud noise. Glad the gals enjoyed the show and at least the money was well spent!

There will be more photos coming up, cos I'm not able to upload this from my office PC. Will do so when I got back home.

Happy Birthday Renise!!

This year, as Renise had started to attend some Art class with her sister, we had decided to celebrate her birthday earlier at her Art class so that she would have friends to sing birthday song and shared her joy.

As promised, I had baked her a Cinderella Doll Cake. She always tell me that she is Cinderella whenever we read the story, so I've decided to bake this cake for her.

Instead of the usual doll pick where it's only the head and half body, I bought her the whole doll from Toy R'us. It was a Cinderella Barbie Doll with a necklace and comb and shoes which she can play with after the celebration. Wow, this cost me $30!! But well, it's her birthday, and this was also my birthday gift for her.

Well, the cake was a challenge. As I'm using the usual barbie doll, the cake was taller than the previous cake which I had done before. It consisted of 4 layers of cakes with 3 flavours, Chocolate Sponge, Buttermilk cake and of course the usual Butter cake. I'm supposed to cover the skirt with fondant, but I do not have enough to do it and my fridge is not tall enough to store the cake if I will to use fresh cream. Even if my fridge can store it, I doubt the fridge in the Art class can, hence, without much choice, I had to cover it with buttercream icing.

This was the cake I did for her:

Beside this, I was worried that this may not have enough to share for all the kids at the class, also, I was lazy to scout for goodie bags and packing them, I baked and decorated the Cinderella Themed cupcakes for her.... obviously.... the glass slippers was the choice :

Again, will update her party photo later. :)

Sorry, haven't been blogging recently. Had started my new 5.5 days work and been getting low in morale. Hence, I don't have to mood to blog.

During this period of time, I had went to the Barney Show with my gals and the next upcoming event will be the Kungfu Panda movie. Will try to update these here as soon as possible.

Is it Teething?

Last nite, I was woken by Reyna's snorting sound, she's having blocked nose!! Poor gal, she is too having cough!! With cough and flu coming in side by side and with her frequent poo which looks mashy... could she be teething?

I do not know. I will have to bring her to doctor tomorrow to find and out hopefully the TCM will helps. :(

Update on Little Reyna

Last nite, as I was patting her to bed, I realised how much she had grown. Instead of putting her to sleep, I played with her for a while. She can said many things now. As she's getting smarter each day, she's getting naughtier as well as she is able to know how to demand and in what way her parents and grandparents will give her. But, she is such a sweetie pie, can you bear to say no to her? Plus, she is quite a good actor, she can cry till very pitiful just to get something done.

Here's what she can say & do now:
- daddy de4
- hai2 yao4 chi1
- ear
- nose
- pinch
- bus without the 's' sound
- count 1 - 5 in chinese
- count 1 - 10 in english but not in sequence
- chou4 chou4 (smelly in chinese)
- drink water from cup with little drip
- snatch things from her sisters
- scratch her sisters (*faint)
- climb up a stool
- bring a stool to the designated place for food
- can shower standing (yipee! no need bath tub liao)
- can show her "yes" or "no" by answering or action

Hmm... guess that's all I can think of at now.
