Adelle church friends

Every week, Adelle will get to meet her church friends and her best friend is Caleb kor kor as they see each other every friday and enjoying playing together. They always posed for me to take pictures of them and they look forward to see each other too! :)

Another group of Adelle church friends are those that she see on every saturday. They are the ones that she knew since the first day she goes church with us when she was 1 month old. They are Becky, Grace, Xanthe and Tanish. Yes, it is a gals group and all of them have grown to be a pretty little babes too! :)

Playground and Swimming Pool

Adelle & Danelle loves outdoor activities so we tried to bring them to either playground or swimmng pool every other week. The nearest swimming pool to our place is the one @ Geylang Bahru while the playground that we usually go is the one at our house roof garden or the playground @ punggol park. Another new place that we visited this month is City Square Mall and they have outdoor playground and fountain that Adelle likes to get herself soak in it!

My birthday celebration

I had 3 birthday celebrations this year, 1 with my beloved family, 1 with my cell group friends and lastly with my colleagues! :)

4th May - Celebration with family

First thing in the morning, Danelle said "mama" while Adelle told me this "Happy Birthday Mummy, I buy present ok". My gals are really sweet and these are the priceless gift that they can give me. :) Hubby and i took leave that day and we dropped Adelle in school, Danelle at my parents place in the morning. After that, hubby went to pick up the flowers for me and we went for massage and watched Iron Man 2. It was a nice show. In the evening time, we went to pick up Adelle and she chose the cake for me and of cos Daddy paid for the cake. It was a sweet pinky heart shape cake which taste good too. Thereafter, we head back to my parents place to cut the cake with Danelle while Adelle sang me the birthday song too! Then we left the kids at my parents place and hubby brought me to Gyu-Kaku for nice japanese bbq dinner. The beef and lamb taste really good! Yummylicious... :P~~~ Oh ya, hubby promised to buy me a camera for my birthday gift this year cos the current one that i had was bought 4-5 yrs ago and the pics quality are getting bad now... Look forward to my present in june!!

7th May - Celebration with cell group

My cell group friends celebrated my birthday every year and as it is mother day that weekend, my friend bought me a "mother" birthday cake... hehe.. so funny! :)

10th May - Celebration with colleagues

Our department has stopped celebrating staff birthday since the last 2 years but now it is back after we feedback to our VP during the staff survey. It was a 3 kg peppermint cake and there are 4 of us born in May so each of us get a birthday candle. Since it is the 1st birthday celebration after the long "break", everyone happily eating the cake!

Adelle's first performance at School

We are invited to attend Adelle's CC PTC session on 13th May. It was a evening session that starts at 6.30pm with dinner, followed by picture montage and updates of what the children has done over the last semester and what they will be learning in the next semester.

We are one of the first few who were there early and the dinner was fried bee hoon, cakes and ribena. The adults and children ate together at their breakfast dining area. We get to chit chat with Adelle's classmates - Megan and Jerick parents. Megan is Adelle's best friend in school and Megan's dad is an English man while her mum is Chinese. Very pretty little gal! :) While Jerick is a new classmates of Adelle who is a daddy boy and he was super gloomy until his dad turn up at 7+pm and he started to jump up and down.

After dinner, we had family games which is bingo. The teachers done up pictures bingo and told us that we can do this as a family games at home too.

Then the teacher started by showing us a picture montage of what they did in school. From the morning breakfast, assembly, art time, story time, gym time, bathing time, nap time and until their afternoon snack time. The kids are sooo adorable and funnie in some of the pics! Adelle can identify and name all her friends as the pic came up in the montage. She is really happy that evening.

After the montage, the teachers run through what they have done for the last semester. While they shared what they do in class, the teachers called upon Adelle and Megan to do the song and action using "Two little dickie birds" song. They change the bird name to Adelle and Megan and the two girls can do the action very well. I am proud of my darling that i forgotton to video it down.

Next, the teachers called upon the children again to perform another song - Teddy Bear. Again, Adelle and Megan are the only ones that followed the song and do the action. Cos the rest are haven't reach 2 yrs old thus run around the room most of the time. Megan is a Feb baby and that makes Adelle the eldest in the class. :)

My gals - The Hi 5 fans

Danelle was influenced by Adelle and ended up she became another Hi 5 fans as well.

Princess Danelle is 11 months old on 21st May

Highlights of Danelle achievement @ 11months - Walking a few steps

Another month to go will be Danelle BIG 1. :) She is now able to clap hands, stand confidently and walk a few steps on her own. Good Job baby! Mummy and Daddy are proud of u. Danelle can also sit on the motorcycle @ the playground steadily and riding bicycle on her own too. She enjoy swimming and water play! Thus, our weekend hangout place are the playground and swimming pool since the gals loves outdoor activity. Oh ya, not forgetting to add that Danelle is a Hi-5 fans too! She will wave her hands when she see Hi-5 shows. :)

Show Luo “3D WORLD LIVE TOUR”

Yesh! I won a pair of tickets to watch Show Luo " World Live Tour" from my dept lucky draw. But it is for tomorrow (saturday) at 8pm so i can't go as there is no one to babysit my 2 babies. :(

Inititally i wanted to pass to my staff but she too has the tickets. And so happen that my colleague Justin asked me if i am going to watch or wish to sell. Well, since i know i can't make it so i say i wish to sell loh!!! :P Then Justin told me that another guy call Vincent know pple online wanted to buy the ticket for $100. Hohohoho.... So i joke with Vincent that if he can really help me to sell away the tickets at $100, i will give him 50% revenue share!!! Then he can give 10% to the "co-broke" agent Justin! ;)

So we agreed at this business arrangement and i left the tickets with Vincent so that he can help to post online to sell for me. Within 1 hour, Vincent text me saying that he has sold the ticket for $100 and will pass $50 to me on monday! wahahahhaa....good$.... no need to do anything & money comes in! :P Usually i am the one who will volunteer to post online but this time round as the show is tomorrow, i dont want to risk the chance of selling thus willing to pass to Vincent since he has the "lobang" to sell the tixs. Anyway i also dunno who is Snow Luo so to me, i prefer $ more than watching the concert... :P

My kawaii gal

Adelle is sooo kawaii these days! I am always amused by her mischevious acts every now and then. Look at the funny pics of her!

What are the roles of the husband and wife in a family?

Recently a friend posted this qtn on FB - Why mother has to be the last to sleep and the first to wake up? How true and yet how sad that this seemed to be happening to most mothers including me. :( Except the few fortunate ones like my cousin's wife who get a off day weekly to hang out with her friends and no need to look after her baby at nite. Cos my cousion is the one who will wake up to attend to the child and look after the baby at nite and weekends.

Besides sacrificing sleep, there are many other sacrifices that a mother/wife put in but yet not getting the due respect that she deserved. I was browsing the web for a biblical view on this and saw this article. There is no dispute of what i know and what i am asking for. But GOD, does all husbands aware of these basic principle as well?

'Happy Birthday Mummy'. :)
