Bye bye..

After Angelika's one month party, Vicky initiated all of us to go exercise because we ate too much for lunch. So, all of us, including Caleb went brisk walking around our neighbourhood.

As we were approaching Punggol Plaza, CT said he needed to go top up his cash card. So, we stopped by to top it up. Then, in a moment of spur, I brought Caleb to the barber to get his head shaved. However, none of us brought out our wallets, CT only brought his ATM card to top up. But as I was searching my camera bag, I managed to find one ang bao with the exact money to cut his hair- $10!

So, here's Caleb sitting down waiting..



Getting ready for the barber to shave..



Bye bye hair..


It was a traumatic experience for him..as you can see from his expression.


Poor baby. I was having regrets when I heard him cry so loudly..



Think the barber was having a tough time.

All things came to a stop when finally, Caleb threw up due to the constant crying! He vomitted so much that the barber didnt dare to carry on anymore. Poor boy.

After that experience, I quickly carried him and sayang him. It took him a while to settle down and forget about what just happened.

So much for wanting to exercise...After that horrible experience in the barber shop, we quickly rushed home

But he quickly forgot once he reached home and all smiles came back.

Here's my little Shaolin Kungfu master..




The reason why I wanted to shave his hair is so that his hair can be thicker as his hair was a little sparse..

Anyway, what do you think of his look now? So different, right?

I dont know whether this post is an anti-climax since you guys seem to expect much more shocking news.

Angelika's one month party

Went to my cousin, Wei Ee's daughter's one month old party. After church,went to my parent's place to take the van together.

Here's Caleb all excited..



And this is his expression of making the pffting sound by blowing saliva...



My niece, Janine was sitting in front on the van with my mum as my brother and Pamela had something on in church. So, Janine was with us instead. She fell asleep in the early part of the journey. I find it really sweet to see kids sleeping so soundly as they look really peaceful and satisfied sleeping in whatever way they are in.



Here's Caleb interacting with gong gong..Wanting to take some grapes from gong gong's plate.







Here's Caleb enjoying himself while 'walking' on the floor.






And here is Caleb on baby Angelika's mobile bed..Glad he didnt spoil it. Hehe

That's my "carrot cake" auntie looking at this wannabe-one-month-old baby!


This is one-month old Angelika-looking all so sleeping and drowsy..Cant wait for her to grow up as well and play with all our kids..


Here are Janine and Caleb playing with each other during the party..






After the party, went home back to my parent's place, took our car and drove to Giant for our supermarketing on the way home.

Here's Caleb in the trolley..

Yep, he is in the stage of putting everything in his mouth whatever he sees as he is curious. Its their way of discovering things.





Do stay tuned for my next post as it is going to be a shocker!

Caleb's 1st visit to the Zoo!

Despite the CNY weekend, we took time off as a family to go to the Zoo. Reached there at 8:30am so that we can beat the crowd.

The zoo had a lot of performances and special activities going on related to CNY.



Like this one...the largest rodent, Capybara-celebrating the year of the rat!



Then we went to catch the bathing of the elephants. Here's Caleb looking at those huge Asian Elephants.



Asian Elephants do not have as large ears as the African ones because ears help them to cool them. The temperature in Africa is many times hotter than the Asian climate. Interesting, huh?





Then we walked through a garden with nice flowers..



Especially, one of my favourite- the orchids.I love orchids because they look very elegant and sophisticated.



One of my favourite exhibits in the zoo has to be the Himalayan Baboons. I love it because they have so many of them..all different sizes and looks.



Its very interesting to stay there for a while to observe the monkey behaviour.



As we were walking in the zoo, we noticed Orang Utans swinging above us.

Look at this particular Orang Utan attempting to walk across on a thin rope




Another exhibit I love is the one with the polar bear because polar bears are huge and docile looking. They look so cuddly.. The mother bear is behind, while the son, Inuka is the bigger one in front.



Look how huge Inuka is. The funny thing is that when they are first borned, they weigh only about 400-500 grams! Much smaller than a human being! The reason why they can grow so big is because the mother's milk has about 30% fat content in it!



Here's my family at the zebra station..



Caleb seemed to have fun..










Another exhibit I like to see is the Proboscis Monkey.



The reason why they have large stomachs is due to the bacteria. They eat plants and the bacteria helps them to break down the poison and neutralise it.



They have webbed feet too. It is to help them to walk better on muddy areas or mangrove swamps.

Here's more pictures of Caleb..



I am really glad he enjoyed himself.


At the end of the trip, we manage to catch the lion dance show. It was very good!



There was a stall selling decorative art using malt candy. Very interesting.





After a long day, I couldnt wait to go home to rest. So tiring walking the whole zoo.

However, at night, we were in the mood for walking once again. We walked around our neighbourhood to catch the CNY lights.



There were so many lanterns and lights





Actually, there should be more decorations lighted up but when we went, it wasnt light up. SO sad..if not, it would be spectacular. Here's the decorations without lights.





Nevertheless, we had fun looking at the other decorations and it was a nice walk, considering how windy it was.

Where did you learn this from?

Here are the noises Caleb makes once a while..I have totally no clue as to where he learnt that from? He would produce a lot of saliva while doing it!
