This piece of wall had became our GEMs' Art Gallery. Coz that about the only place at home I allow them to paste their stuff....

And yes, our black toilet bowl...papa insisted on getting this (my mum nagged for a while on this....she said "Huh, toilet bowl so black, how do you know whether it's dirty or not??!!".....woahahahaha "Mummy, don't worry, Ah San wash the toilet bowl EVERYDAY before she goes to sleep...

Pictures of my bedroom....still under construction...(i mean the picture..not my room).

Gatherings with My Poly Friends

We had a gathering at my new house on 12 September 2009. Attendees are Jess, Linda, Careen, Winnie and myself. Of coz, not forgetting our off-springs. Hui and Jessmei couldn't make it due to work and family commitment. Hope they can join us for the other round of gathering.

12 years, it's been 12 years. All of us have changed in size. Some skinny one (that's me!) became Ah Bui, some Ah Bui became skinny sticks. Some Ah Bui became even more Ah Bui....hahaha, u know who is who hor...

I really need to go 反省反省 liao. I've "upgraded" from XS to L!! My dear husband, please do not call and ask me whether want chicken wings, satay or Mac at night anymore. You are the 最亏祸手 to my current plight. Sigh, every time when I look at my swimming float hanging around me, depress sia. But everytime I see nice food in front of me, I ta boleh tahan leh. Cannot liao, must really curb myself. 不可以在堕落了!!!!!!!!

Even taking a decent photo is so difficult lor. Me and Careen were trying to find the best angle to hide our fats. Hiding behind the sofa, trying to squeeze ourselves behind the girls...etc...etc...but still 于事无补。Damn hilarious.

We found out that one taken with all standing up is probably the best of the worst shots






One of these, I must go dig out our poly-days photos and make a comparison. 应该会是满有看头的！！ 我们一起期待把！！！

Army Open House 2009

We went to the Army Open House 2009. All of us gotta park our cars at Jurong Camp, then take a chartered bus to Pasir Laba camp. The weather is freaking hot so we didn't manage to explore all the army vehicles. At least we managed to go up and sit in the Apache. Pearlyn didn't meet the minimum height of 1.2m, hence, gotta give the ride in the tank a miss. Looks interesting, I'd love to go again the next open house, and I reckon Pearl would meet that height by then.

There's also a kids play area with baloons and craft work for the children. The GEMs decorated their own candle. Amber was pretty cranky so we didn't managed to stay any longer. We went for lunch at SAFRA Jurong. Papa and I 顺便 wanna checkout the new SAFRA. Their swimming pools looks interesting, must bring the GEMs there one of these days...

I came out of the ladies, to find my 2 silly girls chasing after a cockroach....papa instigated them...

A day at the Zoo

This day had finally come. We are finally bringing the GEMs to the zoo today. Have been postponing this trip for one reason after another. Either one of them fell sick, or it rained. Pearl had been look forwarding to this trip.

The GEMs simply went to choose the best Tiny Explorer and happily sit in it while Papa is purchasing the tickets. These 2 brats hor, cannot tahan leh. Told Papa dun rent the Tiny Explorer as it's very inconvenient to have it around. Said the GEMs like it then rent lor.

不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。 True enough, by the time we reach the Tiger enclosure, he knew he made the wrong decision. Very difficult to pull it along the walkway and it's blocking other ppl too. We decided to return it before we venture even further away from the entrance. Wah liao, end up we paid S$15 for that 10 mins.

Mei gets so excited whenever she sees an animal. This is Pearl's 6th time to the zoo, so she's more looking forward to the Rainforest Kids' World where there's a waterplay area. She's never mind there before.

It's pretty fun but I should have brought their swimming gears instead. Will sure go again, fully equipped, the next time.

IT's TPY Ah Ma's Birthday

I helped the GEMs made 2 bunches of flowers for TPY Ah Ma for her birthday. It's cut of from their handprints and fold into flower petals. Very sweet.







We booked a karaoke room for Ah Ma and our relatives to sing their hearts out.　Pearl and Tory also 高歌一曲。 They sang the 小鸡的呐喊. My mum had been teaching both to sing this song.

Horsey Ride and Kite Flying at the Pasir Ris Park

I brought the GEMs to Pasir Ris Park with Jean's, Claris's and Karen's princesses.

Gallop Stable
The GEMs enjoyed themselves feeding the ponies (er..only Amber, Pearl didn't dare to do it) and riding the ponies. I nearly had my toes crushed by the ponies. The man-in-charge didn't warned me that I have to be careful as I was in my slippers. Anyway, the GEMs enjoyed it so it's worth it. The horsey ride and feeds costs S$10 and S$2 each. Pearl had 2 rounds of rides.

Kite Flying
All of us bought our kites at one of the kite shop at the park, except for Gwyneth, who had brought her huge penguin kite along. All the mummies were sweating and running like mad women trying to fly the kite but 天不做媒，our kites just won't fly.

We had lunch at White Sands (took a cab) and then went back to the Park again. The mega playground was very fun for the kids. All of them enjoyed it very much.

I must thank Jean, Claris and Karen for helping me at times with the GEMs. Very tiring but it's heartwarming to see that they enjoyed the day.

Here's some of the pictures that we took

Our Genting Trip on 12 - 14 Jun 09

This trip was initially planned to celebrate Gems' birthdays. But mei mei was sick almost throughout Dec 08 - May 09. This time, we got clearance from the KKH's docs that it's save, just gotta remember to bring her puff and medicines and use when necessary.

Papa rented an 8-seater car (forgot to take a pic of it) from JB coz' BL ah gong and ah mah joining us (our Nissan Sunny too pathetic to squeeze in all).

We stayed at First World Hotel, the nearest one to the Theme Park. The Gems were ecstatic the moment they saw the indoor theme park when we were there for dinner the first night. Mei mei was "wah-ing" the whole time. Pearlyn too was screaming and jumping up and down. All the queues were extremely long, in the end, we took a few rides with short queues and coax them back to the hotel room and call it a day. Erm, not for Papa of coz, he went to try his luck at the casinos and "dump" us in the hotel room.

Most of the 2nd day were spent at the Outdoor Theme Park. It rained a little but luckily, it stopped pretty soon so we can resume the other rides. Pearl enjoyed the rodeo ride that she took it 4x. Mei mei had it 2x. We are quite surprise she enjoys it and was laughing delightfully.



BL ah gong and ah ma didn't really join us for our activities. They prefer to explore on their own 兩人世界 hehehe.

Overall, the Gems were quite obedient. Hmm, looks like they're ready to go somewhere further next time...

Here's the pictures that we took...

The Big Club Concert

The last time we watch a performance was Princess On Ice. The gems didn't really enjoy it. This time, mei mei enjoys the concert very much, probably coz' Barney's her best friend...

I luv, u luv me, we're a happy family
with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you (muuuaak!)
won't you say you luv me too...

The Animal Resort

With the surge in the number of H1N1 cases, we've decided to avoid the enclosed and crowded place. I guess the animals are probably safer than human being nowadays... hehe

Although The Animal Resort does not have a lot of animals (like the zoo), it's enough to get the gems excited. There's lots of dogs, a couple of horses, ducks and geese, koi, 1 or 2 lamb, parrots, hamsters, ginea pigs, rabbits.

We thought mei mei was very brave to feed the horse, but after the horse "kissed" her little hand, she back-out with a "dun wang, scared scared"...hahahaha. Pearl needless to say, was standing behind me the whole time, hence, she's out of the pictures most of the time.
