Enjoying the water

Both my children love the water and since the weather has been so hot, I thought it would be good to bring them out for a swim.

If you ask me, I feel Danielle is more of a natural swimmer than Caleb. Many of my friends ask if my children would be following in my footsteps as a swimmer and I do feel kind of responsible for not taking them for any swimming lessons yet and would usually answer back with a smile and say," not really..we'll see how it goes." After all, my mum started off bringing me for lessons too and slowly but surely, my swimming 'career' took off from there.

Anyway, at the mean time, I just want them to enjoy the water, be confident in it and have fun!

Will definitely sign them up for swimming lessons in time to come...

Combined Birthday Celebrations

My brother has been away to US for 6 months, studying at Yale University. Time passes quickly and he came back recently on 27 May. So today, we decided to celebrate my birthday as well as the past birthdays that we missed when they were away- Janine's, Joyanne's, Pamela's and my brother's.

We had lunch at Changi Airport Terminal 1, Paradise Inn to celebrate.

The food was very good and we all enjoyed it very much!

The children had fun running around given the huge space they had just outside the restaurant!

After that, we took Caleb and Danielle to see the aeroplanes. Might as well since we are at the airport.

Danielle was slightly hesitant to step on the floor as you can see through..rather cool!

But with Korkor Caleb with her, she trusts him..and follows him

Army Open House 2012

Today, brought the family to Army Open House at the F1 pitstop area near the Singapore Flyover. We went there in the evening when its not so hot, but it was still crowded.

It was fun as the children saw army tanks and vehicles, choppers, soldiers everyone.

The highlight of the show was towards the end where we stayed on to see the fireworks. Young or old, I'm sure all of us enjoy watching fireworks..

We took the train so on the way back, we passed by Marina Bay Sands which was spectacular at night as we also happen to catch a glimpse of the laser show.

Walked over to Marina Square for dinner. We were all famished.

Then on the way to the train station, the children shared an ice cream from MacDonalds. It was very sweet to see them sharing and being so happy!

May God bless Caleb and Danielle with continual love for each other and for the people around them!

Open House & Exhibition

Today was Caleb and Danielle's School's Open House Exhibition where their art work will get displayed. I was very amazed by the creativity parents have when they do the art work with their children. Very inspiring. I will definitely make sure I do a better job with my children the next time round! (My competitive nature kicking in, it seems..)

Here's Caleb's class theme on snails..

This is my favourite!

Here's Caleb's work!

Check out what he said when he presented his art work! So funny!

I have to say, Caleb's drawing stands out! Very detailed and creative. So proud of him!

Here's Danielle's class theme on baking!

I made this together with her!

And here's her friend's work..

During the exhibition, the older students set up booths to sell their art work as well as food. Had fun buying from them and supporting them!

I leave you with some other art work by the pre-nursery class!

Why don't you go spend some time with your child today and do some art & craft with whatever recyclable materials you can find at home?

Back to School

Went with hubby to his company's dinner & dance. Though I usually dislike functions like these (because I do not like to think of what to wear), I would like to support my hubby by attending.

This year's theme was "Back to School Days". Initially, I wanted to borrow my old Secondary school uniform but when CT suggested me borrowing from my school so that he can wear the boy's version, while I wear the girl's one...I thought it was a brilliant idea in a practical sense and in a good couple sense so that we match!

The MC for the event was Wayne Chua, who is supposed to be some famous emcee after googling him as he was so brilliant and captivating!

The event was held in Carlton Hotel Ballroom. It was a buffet style food. I have to say, the food was fantastic!! So no complains, even though it was buffet!

I had the opportunity to go on stage because of a forfeit during one game.

and as for CT, he went on stage twice. The first time was to help give away lucky draw prizes

while the second time was for being one of the best dressed nominees. So he was made to dance on stage with a partner.

I had lots of fun that night, enjoying the entertainment- games and music, as well as the company and food!

Thanks dear for inviting me!
