我家的鱼

你不需要问是哪一条，因为从原来的3-40条就剩那么唯一。

几周前，鱼商对我们说，这种红鱼一般一个星期左右算厉害了，那这条简直是300多岁的神仙鱼了！

哈哈 ^u^

每天见到你我真开心！好好地活着吧！

P/s: there's only 1 fish. It's a reflection that perhaps make it less lonely >,<

Today is pregnant woman health care day?

I was waiting for registration for my routine checkup at NUH when I started looking around and realized plenty (really plenty) of big bellies women at the waiting area. 

Waoh... Is today a pregnant women healthcare day? Very interesting...

1..2..3..4..5... At least 10 and Still counting! First ever big bellies scene I had witnessed at NUH normal clinic... What's going on?

So many SG50 O_O"

Heartbeat...

I couldn't understand this rhythm.

It's been very irregular and way too often.

My phlegm had blood tonight.

I have to see a doctor Tmr morning... Couldn't sleep ~,~

Weekend Honey Buns

Last week, Renee helped a lot in the making of red bean buns. This week, we tried something really safe... The honey buns, although what Renee had chosen from the recipe collection was the "Rotiboy" bun. Oops!

So, this time, both girls helped with the preparation of ingredients and mixing them together. The rest of it was made by myself when the girls were taking naps during the proofing.

Renee jumped out of the bed and exclaimed that she wanted to check on the bread dough when she woke up. I showed her to oven watching the 9 buns nearly sat in the square tray and rising ^^

When she heard the ding from the oven, she rushed to the kitchen and asked me to bring out the buns, "Mommy, 好了！"

So in the living room we sat and enjoyed our freshly baked fluffy and sweet honey buns! (Phoebe was still asleep at that time). ;p

Painting with hands

I held onto Renee's left hand and painted it with all colours, using my finger, while she kept saying "it's ugly! It's ugly!"

And there's no painting pic of Phoebe because she refused to paint with her fingers! Hahaha ^^ shall try again next week ;p

像不像？

其实一开始我就觉得有一位朋友的女儿长得和我家小琦很像。

我问了问大女，她犹豫了一会儿却说不像！

今晚在面薄上看见朋友po了一组照片；简直像极了呀！

你们说呢？嘻嘻嘻！好可爱吧！

1/2 Day baking and 1/2 Day Tour

I haven't been baking for a while. Watching a 1kg of ready made read bean paste going to expire in Jul after sitting in my shelf for a year, I finally did some bread this weekend!

The dough was prepared while the girls were asleep. Soon after Renee woke up, I quickly recruited her to assist me in shaping the buns and glossing them. So, there she stood on a low stool and started punching the doughs as instructed. I reminded her that it's not play dough but a real bread dough. Hahaha!

As soon as the buns got out of the oven, they were packed and we had to run off for our next 1/2 day eventful u weekend!

Fullerton One Merlion Park used to be our dating hangout but we hadn't returned to this wonderful place since we got married...

This sat night, we brought our 2 lovely girls to a stroll from Lau Pa Sat to Fullerton One, then to Raffles Place.

Lau Pa Sat wasn't a place I would go for meals in the past, due to its limited variety and overpriced food. However, it's all different after the revamp long ago! We only revisited this iconic place now and it had become such a lovey place for dining and the food was good!

After dinner, we marched our way to "The Fullerton Bridge" and showed our girls where their parents used to pator...

Our last stop was at The Raffles Place, there are swings over there! It's like a tiny backyard in the CBD! As usual, we pulled out the drawing kit and the girls starting scribbling on their drawing papers as we sat on a BBQ bench.

So this is how Renee wrote her own name, drew grandma and wrote Ah Ma!

And my darling Phoebe while waiting for daddy to pick us up!

This was a very special family outing. Renee was telling me that she felt like she's touring in overseas! Hahaha ^^ LOVELY!!!

My Mother's Day card from Renee

Here's Renee trying to spell and write her own name, missing an 'e' at the end >,<

And here I am, watching YouTube on how to clean a fish tank at 4am after being woken up by their random cries...

And I don't watch without eating... ^^

Renee's first excursion trip

It was Pond Fishing at Big Splash, with her fellow 3-4 years old and some K1 and K2 seniors.

The first outings which she gone out for some fun without her daddy, mummy and baby sister. It's amazing to see this little big sister grow each day!

So, when I thought that the fishing activity ended at 12noon, I was so wrong! It's way beyond my mental and space preparation to house... A fish tank of long Kang fishes (红鱼)!!!

Within the same day, daddy and I quickly rushed to get fish food, filter, air-pimp, fish tube... Hope to provide a pleasant environment to keep these fishes which didn't seem to live longer than a week...

Just when we got home in the late evening, our helper informed us that 6 of the fishes had flipped... Mati Mati... So I told Renee that some of her fishes had eh-orh...

So she became so eager to get home to see her fishes that she cried in the lift! Seeing that she seemed to understand what I meant by eh-orh, I quickly changed the topic to show her the fish food, air-pump and filter that we just bought. She calmed down a little but kept asking to see the tank of fishes.

I am a lousy liar, I told her this, "your fishes are bathing now, you can feed her later" (after we removed the floating ones)

I quickly cleared away the dead fishes and quickly setup the air pump, filter. Once everything was in place, I called Renee over to feed the fishes for the first time. 

I could see her love and care towards these new pets which she brought home today. After feeding, she closely watch them gobbling up the flakes and she suddenly asked the fishes gently, "Are you ok, Fish?"

I hope with our installation of air pump and least effort to take care of these fishes, they could live as long as they could! Jiayou! Renee loves you, fishes!!!

Guardian ROX!

The first time I purchased via Guardian online was a massive order for $100+ worth of pampers for both of my girls...

The delivery was prompt, everything was smooth and I would say their service was excellent.

This round, my second guardian online purchase totally turned my impression of them upside down.

First, my online order was confirmed. The next day, I was called up and informed that one of my items was out of stock... Next, an email notified me to log in to my account for latest status of the shipment. My account said "shipped" to Guardian outlet, so I went to the outlet 3 times over the weekend but nothing was received.

So, I sent an email on a Sunday to check on the actual status. The email was promptly replied to and by the evening, I was notified that package had arrived at the outlet.

Excitedly, I headed to the outlet the forth time in 2 days and guess what? One of the items was missing, so I informed the counter staff who was so overwhelmed by a sudden long queue. 

I wasn't a nasty customer so I wouldn't want to hold up everyone. I tried my best to let as many customers go ahead of me but I need to return home soon, too... So, I queued patiently for my turn...

Long story short, the whole parcel had to be left behind until the warehouse staff respond to the counter staff. 

The next would have to be my LAST visit to Guardian. I AM VERY IMPRESSED by how things could be this COCKUP ~,~

See-saw-ing and finally, ME time!

There's so many playgrounds at the Pasir Ris Park... It used to be just the "red spider web" and "flying fox" when I was a small kid...

We headed to the beach for a picnic during brunch but before we could make our way to our usual spot by the beach, Renee pestered her dad to let her to the playground BEFORE picnic...

So, it turned out her little while of playground became what the whole outing was about... 

Daddy gobbled up his packet of bee hoon, while Mummy tried to look after two girls climbing up and sliding down the giant slide... 

After the slide was another slide... Followed by a bridge, then back to the second slide... The space shuttle... The rotating seat... The car... The fire engine... The 4-kid see-saw... Slide again...

We could have continued with the picnic by the beach but seeing both of them so exhausted, we decided to head back home directly. Next time, girls...

A cute family wefie before we leave the fun paradise ^^

Oh, the bottom right pic was Phoebe in her new Duckie/Chickie waterproof cover, trying to feed herself using her new Doraemon spoon and new Duckie tingkat bowl ^^

Evening was exciting... I, finally, got few hours of ME Time!!! I had separation anxiety until I made my way to John Little to grab a couple of products during this sale period. Wahahaha!! After which, I went straight to 18Chef @Bugis Junction for a farewell dinner with Spencer and all. It was a wonderful catch-up with one another. Thank you, Spencer, for the sumptuous dinner... It was supposed to be on us! LOL >,<

Thank you, Dear, for looking after the family while I was away. Muackz~*
