An Afternoon @ Tampines Stadium

In order to lend our support to the poor little girl Charmaine (http://ourfeistyprincess.blogspot.com) who is down with a rare cancer, we decided to spend Sunday afternoon at the Tampines Stadium.

A fund raising event was set up by Singapore's soccer star Rafi Ali to help the family with the $500K medical bills.

Though I am not really a soccer fanatic, I do remember watching Rafi Ali, Fandi Ahmad, Abbaas Sadd, Steven Tan, Lim Tong Hai etc play in matches against states in Malaysia. Those were the Malaysian cup days. Somehow, I got excited over the matches that I even bought the New Paper almost daily just to catch up with the scores & upcoming matches. That was years ago..

Today, right at the stadium, I got to see the soccer stars back in action again (from afar though haha) & yet still raise fund for charmaine & spend time with my family.

I Love To Sing!

When Chloe is in a good mood she will start singing (sometimes screaming) out loud. Here, you see her singing to daddy to the tunes of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Shake Shake Shake (a hi-5 song) & 小毛驴.

Shake Shake Shake...

Chloe is a fan of hi-5, the Aussie children's singing & dancing sensation. She will bug me to let her watch the programs on weekends & after she got home from childcare.

This morning, we caught her singing & dancing to one of the tune's in hi-5!

My Mini Birthday Cake

Chloe got up real early today. Her tummy was not really well. In fact she had diarrhoea for 2 days already. I got so tired changing her diapers thrice since morning!

In order to keep Chloe occupied while I do some chores, I took out her Minnie Mouse fridge for her to play. Here you can see her singing the birthday song with her miniature birthday cake.

Fun @ The Zoo

Wednesday 24 June
We brought Chloe to the zoo again. The day was perfect except for the drizzle throughout our outing. I love it though cos it's cooling & breezy!




Waiting patiently for the bus..


@ The Polar Bear Feeding Session
The segment was great! Chloe's eyes were glued on the cute panda feeding on fishes & watermelons.



@ The Rainforest Show
Cheeeeese!

Swimming again @ SK Swimming Complex

Since the last trip, Chloe kept bugging us to bring her for a dip. She would get her swimming costume in her wardrobe & insists that I help her put on.

So, naturally we brought her there again today with home-made fried bee hoon & barley drink. Chloe was very excited as usual & in a very good mood. When we asked her if she knows where we were heading to, she will reply chirpily that we are going swimming.

Dinner @ Gu Po's House

Last night, we paid a visit to gu po at her place in Ang Mo Kio, the place that Chloe practically visited every day while I went to work before she attended childcare. Somehow, over the months from going to childcare & not visiting gu po often, Chloe is shy at gu po's place. She didn't want to call gu po initially, then she refused to let gu po hug her. But Chloe did find someone to play with now - Baby Sapphira or En En as everyone calls her. Baby Sapphira has a very cute nick name though..she is called PONG PONG (hokkien word for puffy). Chloe & En En are born 2 years apart & on the same day. So that makes En En a special cousin.

We had a hearty dinner at gu po's place with her famous soy sauce chicken. It taste so awesome, I cant find anywhere that sells better Si Yao Gai as compared to those made by my gu ma. Now I dun have the 'proof' to upload in this blog as I am too preoccupied with eating!!

Busy playing with my umbrella on the way to gu po's place.


Baby 'Pong Pong'
She is damm cute haha..look at her puffy cheeks!

To All The Daddies In The World....

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Chloe Fell From My Bed

I was greeted by a rude shock just mins after i got home from my aunt's place just now. I had intended to change Chloe into her pyjamas, but she did not want me to do so at that moment. Therefore, I put her pyjamas aside & answered nature's call instead thinking that she would be more cooperative when I am back from my business.

What I heard less than a min after I stepped into the washroom was a thud & followed by the shrilling cry of Chloe & all I could see while trying to pull up my pants was Pete carring Chloe up from the floor.

Chloe had stood at the edge of my bed, lost her balance & fell head down towards the floor hitting the stool next to the bed. We hurriedly carried Chloe to the kitchen to stop her bleeding. Thick red blood oozed out from her lips. What I witnessed affects me so much that I can literally feel the pain in my heart!

Alas, we managed to pacify her with some sweet syrup in a bottle. Chloe was able to suck from it & even nodded her head when I stressed to her repeatedly to be careful & not to jump around when on mama's bed.

All I can hope is for Chloe's bruise to recover soon & hopefully the pain would subside by tomorrow.

Godma Is Here!

This morning, we had 3 special guests at our place. Chloe's god ma (Tricia), god pa (Sam) & Baby Udelle paid us a visit. Chloe was pretty shy when Tricia stepped into the house. But soon after Sam teased Chloe & played with her, she gradually warmed up & managed to giggle with Sam.

Chloe & myself did not manage to attend Udelle's 1st month celebrations @ Sun Haven cos of some mess at dad's place last month. Today we caught up with one another over Baby Udelle's development & a tour of our new house.

Tricia & Sam always spoils Chloe with presents almost every single time we meet. This time round it's Chloe's belated birthday present. Chloe's eyes were all glued to the package while Sam & Tricia helped her along unwrapping her surprise.

One of the nicer pics I took after much fidgeting from chloe! (Sorry Sam, part of your head has to go :P)

Japanese Salted Peas

Going to put these cute little peas in Chloe's dinner tonight. She has been very fussy about food these days, practically NOT finishing all the meals in school every day! This got me real worried for her.

She loves peas, hopefully I am successsful in coaxing her to eat these with some rice together with MIL's braised chicken with mushroom.

My Master Bedroom

I am so bored cooped up at home that I decided to whip out my camera & start taking pictures of my bedroom. Not quite the look I want to achieve..I've yet to put up family pictures around the house to give it a more family feel..urmm oh well I thought it's the neatest I can achieve after not cleaning up for a few days!

The bed Chloe loves to jump on every night.



My Dresser


Window area..with no cushions yet for the settee!



The Wardrobe

Get Well Soon

Fruit Basket & a get well card from my company..Chloe will be delighted to see so many apples & grapes after she gets home today.

Dreamin'

I would normally check on Chloe after she falls asleep every night on our bed fearing that she might fall over. Then, two nights ago, from her original 'vertical' position, we found her in this pose, propped up on a pillow one night...

Playing Doctor

We had gotten this Medical Trolley for Chloe more than a year back & hidden in the store room so that we can surprise Chloe with a new toy whenever she gets bored with her current ones.

Pete decided to fix this up for Chloe & she got all excited & busy pushing the trolley around the house.
