Slaying Monsters!!

These are the 3 monsters lurking in our living room.

We have to plan our strategy for attack!

Take cover! They are spewing fire and hurling rocks!

And we ATTACK!!

Yay! All slain!

One for all and all for one! Woohooooo!!

Mummy: And this is why kids need 2 parents. I would never have thought of games like this to play with you two! Not that i fully approve of the violence though....

Earth Hour 2010

Mummy turned off all the lights and fans for a full hour tonight, amidst vehement protests from Daddy complaining that it was hot and that he couldnt see his food blah blah blah...

Luckily for us, all of Daddy's whingeing and whining were to no avail...and we got to experience our very 1st candle-lit dinner!

Baby fascinated by the candles and inching closer for a better look

We had sushi by candle light!

Everyone sitting by the main door to catch some breeze

But no one's complaining!

Picture taken with flash, no we didnt cheat and turned on the lights!

After dinner, we played Treasure Hunt whereby Daddy, Mummy. Gong Gong and Por Por took turns to hide our stuffed toys and we had to use our torches to find them. It was great fun!

Daddy was the happiest when we could turn on all the lights and fan again though...

Toilet Humour

Literally...

Mummy was so tickled by my toilet antics that she couldnt stop laughing as she was filming these videos.

10 points for making the perfect poo!

And after a round of intensive pushing...

"So fierce!"

As Tyra Banks would say...

Mummy, I know all about America's Next Top Model ok!?!

I just dont know how to use this phrase in context! hahaha...

More kungfu fighting

Im trying to use my nifty kungfu moves on Gong Gong but why does everyone find it so funny?

I even know how to swipe under my nose after every move a la Bruce Lee!

Sibling Spat

Terelle: I dont friend you anymore baby!

Thane: Like i care...

A minute later

Both have fallen asleep backfacing each other

Hilarious!

Our CNY 2010

It was a dismal and rather boring CNY for us this year as both of us were sick throughout the long holiday. Bleah....

CNY Eve

We spent the morning of the eve of CNY at East Coast, riding our bikes and soaking up the sun.

Baby was a little frazzeled by the heat though...he was already having a cough

Reunion dinner at home...

...where Baby insisted on eating up all the green strands in the yusheng

CNY Day 1

Today was a disaster! It was so terribly hot i think i suffered from a minor heat stroke, which left me with a sudden high fever. I also puked all of my dinner all over Mama's living room floor.

Sigh...needless to say, no one really enjoyed themselves and we didnt go anywhere else today. Explains the lack of photos too...

CNY Day 2

Mummy and Daddy decided to play it safe today and not do much visiting, since Baby was coughing and they were unsure whether or not i was truly sick.

Hence, we only went over to Grand Uncle Ronny's place for lunch and that was that. It was quite fun playing with Xiang Kor Kor and Zhining Mei Mei as usual. (I wasnt sick at all after all...haha)

CNY Day 3

Lunch was at our favourite sushi joint with Gong Gong and Por Por, where we got to play with our food again! (aka toss yusheng)

After our afternoon nap, we headed to the Singapore Flyer for our much anticipated ride with the cousins!

Here we are, peering excitedly out of the capsule at the twinkling lights below

Baby was particularly fascinated since his last flight was when he was an ignorant 8mth old babe

Doing the requisite touristy thing

And thus concluded our uneventful CNY this year. Hopefully it will be much better next year! We must stay germ free!!

When we are sick...

Baby was running a high fever but that didnt stop us from practising our flying kungfu stances on the sofa.

Mummy got a scolding from Daddy for filming this video instead of stopping us from stomping all over his precious leather sofa. Oops...

And then we also practised our rendition of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance...

...and Colbie Caliat's Kiss the Girl...

Check out my brother's nifty dance moves!

Can't tell that we were both sick huh?

Mummy: The drum set and microphone rank as one of the best toy buys of the century! They play with it almost everyday!

And here is Baby Bone when his fever was at its highest...he was lethargic and literally stayed curled up foetal like for almost 2 hours today!

or maybe it was because we monkeyed around too much...oops...

Home Barber

Baby's hair is getting long and unkempt so here i am, doing him a favor by cutting it.

Im a professional, no?

Mummy: The surprising thing is that he is sitting there quietly and letting his sister have her way with his hair, for a full 10min! Haha...

Im TWO!

My family threw a small party for me this year, inviting only a few close friends and relatives.

Errr it was actually more of Jie Jie's friends, cos i have hardly any close friends (save for Seth)...sniff*

Jie Jie welcoming her friends

Everyone gathered around, watching cartoons on our big screen

Mummy and me, her Spidey boy!

Do Daddy and I look alike?

The homecooked spread, specially prepared by Aunty Riza

And of cos, my cake, lovingly created by Mummy

Ta-dah! I specifically requested for Wall.E, my current fav cartoon

So Mummy made him sit atop Earth, surrounded by a galaxy of stars!

There were even astronaut cookies, as party favors

ok ok ill ham it up for the cam for you over there!

Cake cutting time!

The whole gin gang of kids! (plus Mummy's 2 students on the right, who absolutely adores little ol me...hehe!)

I get 1st pick of whichever part of the cake i want!

So im wallopping all the marshmellow stars!

Woohoo!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

Setting up the Xmas tree

We have so much space for our Xmas tree this year and we love it!

It used to be squished in one corner of our tiny living room with its hulking mass taking up half of the walking space along the corridor. We had to inch our way around it in order to get to the rooms!

Hahaha no more no more!

It now has its own niche, nestled under the stairs

We had great fun setting it up!

It's pretty, eh?

Merry Christmas from the Leongs!

Deepavali in school

Here i am, all decked out in the traditional indian garb, all ready to celebrate Deepavali in school!

Not wanting to get my hands dirty as usual

My teacher made henna drawings on our arms

Dont i look suave as a little indian boy?

Jie Jie was back from her celebrations in school too, and we had fun posing for pics together at home. Doesnt Jie Jie look adorable in her indian dress too? Hehe...

Stop wriggling baby!

Cheese!

Happy Deepavali everyone!

HFMD again!!

Daddy left on a biz trip last night and i cried buckets as he left the house. I was so upset that i couldnt stop wailing and even cried myself to sleep.

This morning, i woke up complaining of dizziness and even vomitted once. Mummy thought i simply had a rough night and even tried to cajole me to go to school (?!!)

She finally relented when i vomitted again and started to develop a fever. I also could not stomach anything, which was RARE as i usually had milk and cornflakes, followed by bread and cheese or bananas or wathever i could lay my hands on...for breakfast.

And so we set off for the doctor's all the same, just to get me checked out. Mummy didnt think it was anything serious though, probably just a minor stomach bug that would clear within a day or so.

After a check by the doctor, i was diagnosed to be suffering from a viral infection and i was to be given some med and ordered lotsa rest. However while we were waiting for my medicine, Mummy noticed some red spots on my hands and feet.

Her worst fears were confirmed when a 2nd check by the doctor verified that i had contracted the dreaded HFMD.

What?? HFMD again?! But but what about my Children's Day Carnival in school tomorrow??

I could literally see alarm bells ringing in Mummy's head, cos the last time i was down with HFMD, things were really bad. I couldnt eat anything at all (Mummy had to freeze sugar cane juice for me to suck), had a raging fever that wouldnt abate and basically cried hysterically almost the entire day. (I was only 18mths old then)

What more so now that there's Baby in the house, im sure she was terribly afraid that i would have had already infected him with it.

Once we reached home, i was isolated in Mummy's room and Baby was confined downstairs. Over the next 4 days, i spent all my time within these 4 walls, and i almost went out of my mind.

Bored out of my skull

Thankfully, my fever subsided within a day and my voracious appetite was back to normal by nightfall.

I was begging Mummy to let me go to school the next day cos there was a huge carnival planned for us but she kept saying that i was still unwell and that i would pass the germs to my friends.

But i feel ok!! I could eat and sleep and the 2 puny ulcers in my mouth didnt bother me at all.

Alas, Mummy wouldnt waver and so i was imprisoned in her room for the next few days, even though i felt perfectly fine. The only signs of HFMD were faint spots on my feet and one spot on my hand.

I was sooooo disappointed to miss the carnival in school. Hmph!

Mummy thought the worst was over on the 5th day and i was allowed back downstairs. However, that day Baby Bone came down with a high fever.

Sigh...so i did infect him after all.

So much for imprisoning me!!!

Here he is at the doc's office

Science Experiment

Daddy gave us a science lesson on plants today.

First you have to put soil into the pots

Baby bone: *scratching head*

why are you taking so long daddy? it cant be that difficult rite?

And then we were given some seeds to plant

Grow plants, grow!

But going by Daddy and Mummy's obvious lack of green fingers, i really doubt these seeds are going to make it...

Sigh...Gardening is not a Leong forte...

Thursday Playdates

It is becoming an almost weekly affair, whereby we will all troop over to Kirsten and Seth's house on Thursday for a playdate.

Seth is the only friend of Baby Bone's that he recognizes and Mummy hopes that they will grow up to be good friends, just like Kirsten and I!

Eh? How come u have the same crew cut as me?

Gangsta pose! haha...

And while the piggy boys were busy bonding with their piggy bank

Us girls were staging a puppet show!

Say Cheese!

I miss the good ol days when i could just run over to Kirsten's house to play whenever i wanted.

Now we only get to meet just once a week, sometimes forthnightly or when either or us kids are sick, maybe only once a month! *sob*
