Maternity leave with Wayne

My MIL would usually be around very Monday, except for today due to praying session. 

Thanks to my parents for picking the girls up every day! Couldn't imagine how we would do once Sunny was scrapped. T__T

So today, I spent my whole day fulfilling what maternity leave was for, to look after baby Wayne.

As a result? 

I witnessed this boy spent a whinny day... Chewing everything he could find...

I witnessed his first leopard crawl... (To grab Phoebe's little duckie)

I got lots of hair unrooted from my scalp... And he refused milk...

My boy... Thanks for your patience with mummy... Sorry if I didn't serve the milk fast enough... Sorry if I didn't understand your cries at times... But... Would you not pluck away my precious not-much-left hair, pls? Also, thanks for showing me that you are capable of feeding yourself but this ain't the right way to drink from a bottle... LOL*

Love you, honey, MGBYPP ^^

M1 Sunday movie 1-for-1 with E-E

E-E's surprise visit and impromptu movie with the girls. Mummy sponsored for the movie ticket and popcorn snacks for the movie goers as a token of appreciation ^^ since thanks to E-E and Sunday, I saved $12.60 for a weekend ticket! Cool s***

It's the first time that the girls sat for a movie without me... Sobsob! Mommy, in turn, got time to do hand wash and piling laundry. What a Cinderella life... >,<

Each time when Phoebe passed by the Watson store, she would immitate the pose of the girl in an advertisement ~v>

And Renee would follow...

 

Meanwhile, this baby took nap and woke up to knock his head against the baby crib, with a silly smile each time he knocked... I had no idea what he's up to...

Skipping their nap was challenging for them. Glad that they enjoyed the movie so much. Thanks, E-E for your company!

Time to pay NLB fine

For some off reasons, my NLB app only reminded me to return overdue books instead of heads up of closing due date...

So, I overdue 5 books for 6 days... Now I know how much the fine cost for overdue library books. It's 10 cents each day. If you think it's cheap, think twice. I paid $3  in total. Moral of the story? Renew the books immediately upon loan because renewal of overdue books were not allowed in NLB system or app... Muahahhaaha! >,<

Ok, this wasn't our first library visit, of course, that explained overdue books in the first place. Okay, the special part was, the girls were getting more ideas on which books they want to get... And little Wayne was wide awake during this National Library visit, instead of snoozing away. Kekeke!

So for a record, a kids-photo couldn't be missed. Here they were, looking at the same direction, smiling ^^

Then they browsed for potential bedtime stories along the pre-school section. Including the one who didn't require bedtime story... Since he would 'sing' his bedtime song usually...

Finally, the girls fighting (v v norm) over the checking out of books at the self-checkout station.

We rest our bums at Hans outside of the Library with some teabreak... See how Phoebe kept her bro entertained ^^

Hope they like their bedtime stories. Thanks, dear, for making sure the girls had an entertaining bedtime routine. Hohoho!

Happy Birthday to papa

A family dinner along the Singapore River,  siting in a big table with 4 generations of us... 1 2 3 (+2) 4... From top to bottom of the family tree...

A shame that there wasn't Chilli crab on the table as planned... We eat what we could stomach. Learning to cope with enough is good.

Weather was specially good that evening. Beautiful red and blue sky as the sun set behind the Fullerton bridge... A full stretch of skyline in our view... Wonderful moments and togetherness of the family which money couldn't buy.

Happy birthday to my dad. Thank you for everything ^^

Weekend Chiong!

Partying on Sat for 1 year old boy and partying on Sun for 80+++ grandma...

Jen hotel is a new "love" found! I am so going for a staycation over there one day! It was the first time I had attended a first year birthday party in a hotel's function room... There's photographer, balloon sculpturing, personalized goodie bags with really good door gifts, western lunch and magic show! Seriously! Really really good... And here's me and my girls after having some blue cotton candy together ^^

Wayne couldn't eat the candy so he could only suckle his toes...

The girls enjoying the red velvet birthday cake, which is truly yummy!  >,<

And hugging their balloon sculptures - cars and penjuin ^^,

Sunday was a challenging day. The food was okay but the VIP room was a little stuffy. Everything was okay until the uncles and aunties started to K-songs... As long as the birthday granny and my girls enjoyed themselves, I was content. 

Happy birthday, grandma! Hope you have enjoyed yourself today and I wan to wish u the best of health in many more years to come! ^^

Happy Birthday, Dear! 12345...

1ce upon a time was just the 2 of us, then on your 34th Birthday, it became the 5 of us!

3 kids baked a NY cheesecake for their daddy's birthday. 

It's just a cake sharing 'ceremony'... There's no celebration. ~,~

So, there's no gifts as well.... Just our presence and a simple handmade card to express our love and appreciation. ^^

Happy Birthday, dear! Sorry that I didnt plan for any special date... I just couldn't do the math to split you among all of us... So let's just squeeze together! Hohoho! 

And guess what's the answer for this LINE quiz? Haha... A... Definitely A, final answer... Ok, bye!
