We finally have windows!!!!!

For the uninformed, we have been living in our house since Jan without windows, all because of a stupid permit that HDB refuses to grant. The reason being since we levelled up the balcony floor, due to safety concerns, the parapet wall is now too low.

After much to-ing and fro-ing between HDB and BCA (Building and construction authority) and much, much frustration on Mummy and Daddy's part, (us kids are oblivious...when it rains, we even get a mini swimming pool to jump around in, who cares about the window??!), the windows finally finally arrived, one day before we were off to Hong Kong.

Workers removing the remnants of the old balcony grille

Grille all off!

Assembling the aluminium frame

Ooh...one frame is up!

And we are all agog, watching from the staircase landing!

Haha...

Xiang Kor Kor's birthday

Xiang Kor Kor will be turning 5 next week, but since we are going to be in Hong Kong, we decided to celebrate his birthday one week earlier!

Mummy baked a chocolate cake for him, with my help of course

The goofy cousins

Not forgetting baby bone!

He's so fair he's reflecting light!!

When can we have the cake??

Chocolatey mouth revisited...

My new house

Lemme take you on a foto tour of my new house!

The dining room - now our old dining table looks so small in the big space

The stairs and the foto "gallery" on the landing

Mummy's glam kitchen with its bling bling mosiac

Our magnetic wall which also serves as the kitchen door - One of Mummy's bright ideas to keep us out of the kitchen

Our retro swing which we absolutely love

Ps: All the fotos were taken by little old me! Not bad rite?

And we invited my april friends over for a house warming today.

Look! The swing is big enough to fit me and my best gal pals!

And as usual, the mummys have to watch us kids...

...while the daddys stuff their faces!

I shall take fotos of the upper floor soon...stay tuned!

Gong Gong and I, see i cant wait to attack the cake already...

Happy Birthday, Gong Gong!

We love you!!

Baby Bone with his chocolatey mouth

Mummy and baby caught in the act of having a second helping...or was it a third?

After dinner, everyone proceeded to my room where baby bone and i staged a mini concert.

mike test mike test...

It was a riot and everyone was totally amused by our antics

We wish you a very happy birthday, and the best of health always Gong Gong! Muakz!!

CNY 09

Cny is always a simple affair in our family, cos our family is very small and we only have a handful of relatives to visit.

Goofing around with Daddy while Mummy and Baby Bone were still sleeping

Happy Moo Moo year everyone!

Both of us in our new snazzy outfits on our way to Mama's house

Mummy loves my cheongsam - its so pretty and she got it for a steal!

After visiting Mama, we headed to her cousin's place for awhile before meeting the rest of Mummy's side of the family at Tai Por's house.

That's the entire family we have, small rite?

Me and my favourite YiYi, hmmm actually its my ONLY YiYi!

Baby Bone looking so smart in his spanking new get up

The 2nd day of new year was spent at Niki's house where we had a whale of a time playing together and catching up. I really miss Niki!

Baby Bone was snoozing away at Mama's house so no pics of him. No matter...I didnt miss him one bit cos we were playing girly games anyway! Hehe...

Playing dress up, complete with accessories and heels!

BFFs?

Starting at a new school

After scounting around many schools in the East and much much deliberation, Mummy decided to enrol me in a church kindy. Her reasons being:

1) She wants Jesus to take centerstage in my life.

2) This is a Chinese school, where 80% of the curriculum is done in Mandarin. She believes this will be beneficial to me as we hardly speak Mandarin at home.

3) She was actually considering putting me in Kara's school, but after much thinking, she decided against it because she was afraid that i would "corrupt" Kara with my mischievous ways and cause her to lose focus in her work.

4) The fees here are way way cheaper than a Montessori school, like the one that ive been attending. If i were to study at this new school, Mummy will be able to use the excess money to sign me up for some nifty new enrichment classes. (My Kungfu class, remember ok Mummy?)

5) The school has a 40 year old history and is a very well established kindergarten. Mummy has met the teachers and principals and declared that they are v ery caring and will do their best for me. The classrooms are spacious, the surroundings clean and they have a huge playground and even PE lessons. (Sports is very important in our family)

6) And lastly, a very frivolous reason. Mummy thinks the uniform is really nice and i look very cute in it!

That's me in my smart new uniform

Dont you agree i look very cute?

okie one last mouthful of my breakfast before im off!

Mummy was very impressed with me cos i hardly cried even though i was in new surroundings. I gamely participated in everything, oblivious that she was hiding outside and peeking at me.

Listening to Ma Lao Shi's instructions

Singing and dancing

All in all, Mummy is very glad she has decided on this school and I am very happy here. All thanks be to God for steering her in this right direction!

Wah!! The Zoo!

Jie Jie will be starting at a new school in a few days time, so Daddy and Mummy decided to bring us to the zoo before her school term starts.

I can finally sit up in the wagon on my own! And boy was it fun to watch the animals, have snacks and monkey around with Jie Jie in it!

Also because i could recognize many animals by now, my catchphrase of the day was "Waaaaaah!" everytime i saw an animal that i knew.

And check out the number on our wagon - 57! Our birthdates!

We always seem to have an uncanny affinity with this number

Taking a break on the tram

And then the highlight of the day - the rainforest kidz world!

I was mesmerized by the carousel, i kept waving at the animals and saying "waaaaah" appreciatively

Jie Jie was sleepy by now and didnt want to go on the carousel, so Daddy took me on it alone

Waaaah! That was fun!

Then we were off to the water play area. That was where i was in my element! I love water, unlike Jie Jie who was afraid and was content to play by the side with the jet sprays only.

Since i was so gung ho, Mummy decided to sacrifice her dry clothes and really take me into the depths of the water play area. Of course we both got drenched, but it was way fuuuuun! I was so excited i couldnt stop going "waaaaaah!"

We played with the numerous fountains

Climbed up to the top of the structure

And even slid down the water slide!

Mummy even let me crawl around and i was so brave, i didnt mind all the water spraying on me left right and centre!

After all that exertion, we had a nice sumptous KFC lunch. We had a great day out at the zoo!

And that afternoon, while Jie Jie and i had a long snooze at Mama's place, Daddy and Mummy went to the new house to put on the final touches so we could move in soon! Stay tuned!
