BMX Bike Leh!!!!

Ah Mah got a new BMX Bike!!!!

Its very sporty looking and Caleb love it! But of cos he is not able to ride it yet. He will need more training!

Side track, kids stuff are really so expensive! This bike costed $75 and the seller did not budge when Ah Mah counter-offered S$73. Goodness!!!$75 is really quite steep manz!But the good thing about this bike is that we are able to adjust the seats and the handles when Caleb is taller. Meaning, this bike should last for quite some time hence making full depreciation of this $75 spent.

Rare Pic of both kids seated properly :p

Ah Gong's Birthday!i!i!i!

We celebrated Ah Gong's 62th Birthday at G7 田鸡粥. The venue was specifically requested by 'birthday boy' cos he missed the Crayfish there. It was an enjoyable dinner apart from a fussy Caleb who couldn't sit still. Kept whining and screaming... argh!!! Terrible 2! You can see his grumpy face in the pics. Hahahaha.

The cake was yummilicious from Prima Deli. We simply love their cakes. Not too sweet, just nice! Caleb now gets very excited whenever he sees a cake. He like sweet stuff just like Mami. Hey, its Ah Gong's BD cake, surely must let him eat mah. Caleb was excited to see lighted candles too.. and he was very eager to help blow the candles out. Heehee... he has grown. He was still gong gong when we need him to blow his own candles during his 1st YO birthday but now...

A very happie Ah Gong, Ah Mah, Avriel Mei Mei but grumpy Caleb

~可爱的家人！！！~

Caleb practising for his 2nd birthday!

Not forgetting a birthday kiss ~BIG MUACKS!!!~


Finally, a pic to re-emphasize how much Caleb enjoyed the cake!

Caterpillar Family Day

Yes i know.. have not updated the blogs for ages..
Haiz.. well Caleb was not in the best of health recently. Kept falling sick and after recovering , will fall sick again.
Hence we are tired out from taking care, so now u know why the blogging kinda stop.

Well anyway, recently we were invited to Caterpillar's Family Day all thanks to Pius Yi Zhang who is working there. There was unlimited supply of Popcorn, cottoncandy and ice-cream. They provided lunch too.. and it was a Macdonald's meal!Hooray! Hahaha...

O yes, there was lotsa tikam tikam stalls too.There was a caricature and 'tattoo' stall too. But all the queues are so long, so we did not managed to get any drawings.
The only consolation was that we are able to get some ballon scupltors. We got a dog, a sword and a flower top with a heart. Haha.
There was some shows by magician and snake charmers. We had a chance to get up close and personal with the python. It was really cool. We carried it and took some pictures. We even encouraged Caleb to stroke the python. He was afraid intially but subsequently it was better.

We have loads of fun watching the huge excavators, tractors and 'machines' on display. We were allowed to hop on and snap some pictures.
Caleb wasnt willing to come down after he went onboard. He simply adore the trucks and all.But dear Avriel managed to help us to convince him to come down. Avriel was tugging at Caleb's hair and he was in pain. You can see his painful state in the pictures. It was very farnie cos Caleb was trying to push Avriel's hand away but Avriel was so happy!!!

Ouch!!! Pain Pain. Yiyi..u see Avriel.. so Notti.. pull my hair *beat beat ar*

Somersaults!!!!

Caleb has been practising his somersaults, much to the dismay of us adults. When we see him doing somersaults, we are really scared that he will break his neck or something. But he loves doing it.
Check it out!!

Mr Teh Tarik

Recently Caleb has mastered the skill of transfering the water from 1 cup to another. It resembles the Teh Terik uncle. Take a look.
Also we have started Caleb on rice. He was able to take about 3/4 bowls of rice which we thought its not too bad already. We pour some gravy and soup on the rice 1st, then steam the fish and feed him. He seems to enjoy it very much.

Boy's Toys

Caleb loves automobile. He loves cars, motobikes, aeroplanes, MRT.
He blabbers quite abit too. He has learnt to say No and it can get frustrating at times. Everything u ask him, the answer will be a No. Hahaha.Ah Ma tried to put him on a potty, he will go: No No No No No No.. there there there there there.. meaning he wanna go out. Haha.. how to toilet train like that?

Recently he is very into 'Somersaults'.
He will turn and turn when he's on the bed. He loves performing for us and is especially excited when we laughs and supports him.

Oh yes, 1 thing very good about Caleb is, whenever he wants something, he will hold our hand and lead us to the object and point. Its good because he can 'communicate'to us his wants withouthaving us to guess, and leaving him all frustrated.

Here's a video of Caleb and his toys

Caleb and Avriel

Caleb is a very sweet boy. He is especially sweet to Avriel. He will kiss her, hug her, sniff sniff her haha.. very very sweet..



We have captured a video of Caleb trying to wipe Arivel's drool... super sweet..



Below are 2 videos that show Caleb's affection for Avriel :)
Mami is so proud of Caleb!!!

1st Overseas Trip and that is to Bintan!~Day 3

1st Overseas Trip and that is to Bintan!~Day 3
Well, it's time to go home already...
Same like Day 2, woke up and plan to have breakfast. The only difference was, we reached the brekkie place (Spice Garden) ahead of Tortoise F. Yipee!!! Hahaha..
The spread was somewhat similar to what we had yesterday. Anyway after finishing our brekkie, we hang around and took some pictures. Somehow Caleb was in a super friendly mood and he tried to approach Meg and hug her.. But then.. heehee end up in a weird way.







After being rejected by Meg, Caleb starting running around, chasing Dadi. Its always fun to watch Caleb..



We went back for a final dip at the pool.. see told u guys already. Its swim, swim, and more swimming. After that we packed our stuff and its time to go check out.

Well.. must say that Caleb was very well behaved during the entire trip. We are very proud of him. Think he is ready for more 'incentive' trips!

1st Overseas Trip and that is to Bintan!~Day 2

Day 2 of our Bintan Trip

Rise and Shine!!!!The cheery sun is waiting for us.
Caleb woke up slightly later around 8am. Quickly fed him his milk and off for the complimentary buffet breakfast. The selection was so-so but thanksfully they have the usual bread, and pancakes for the kiddos. The occupants from Tortoise A were very much like the name, Tortoise~slow. Heehee. By the time we went out for breakfast, the folks from Tortoise F are already done with breakfast liao lor..

Well after breakfast, we adjourned to Tortoise F for a dip.. and guess what, again we are too slow. They are done with their swimming already. Gosh!!!! Nonetheless since we are already there, might as well just jump into the pool haha..

Caleb is still very much afraid of the water. Wonder when will he find his previous love for water. After the swim, we returned to our villa for the kiddos lunch. We made them nap so that we can have our lunch in peace.

After the kiddos wake up, we went for another swim. Hahaha.. basically nothing much to do except laze around, and swim. Well the sun was very strong and being kiasu mums, we slapped on quite abit of sun block for ourself and our kiddos. But Celeste still ended up being super tanned. Hahaha..

Some pics of our lovely swim:

Babes frolicking in the pool :P

**Again special thanks to Uncle Bo who was busy snapping pics for all of us**

The tortoises at Tortoise A are trying very hard to beat the folks at Tortoise F. Heehee determined not to be tortoise again, we rushed and finally, we reached the Kelong earlier than Tortoise F. Heehee.. Boy were we elated!!!!

Well, we arranged to have dinner at a kelong located within Nirwana Gardens. Hmm.. the kelong was hot and humid (i know.. its expected of a kelong but still....)

This weather is bad for the kiddos. They couldnt sit still. We have to bring them out for walks. Luckily Aunty Sophia brought along her bottle of bubbles.. Provided some entertainment for the kiddos.

Well, food at the kelong also so-so only. They also forgot 1 of orders which we gladly cancelled cos everyone was full already.

So we went back to the villa and quickly settled the children to bed. Well..the mamis stayed up and chit chat till 3am... heehee.. alot to talk hor hahahaa...

1st Overseas Trip and that is to Bintan!~Day 1

ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!!
Caleb just came back from his very first overseas trip. We went to Bintan for a short getaway.This is a joint trip planned by Caleb's Mami, Aunty Celine, Aunty Sophia, Aunty Tracy and Aunty Rach. It was a 3D2N trip. We set off on 17th June and was back on 19th June.

Details of our trip comin' up... .. .. .. ... ... ...

Departure Day~17th June
We woke up to a cold morning. It was drizzling slightly.We have arranged to meet to meet at Tanah Merah Ferry terminal at 10.30am. We went to pick up the Niam family heehee cos Uncle Bo sent his car for repainting. The car ride was fun with so many people on board.
Upon reaching the terminal, we saw planes above us.. Wow,the kids excited to see the aeroplanes especially Celeste!
Well, after we reached the terminal, the rest also started coming in except Aunty Rachel. We called her only to discover that she was still at home. We decide to check in first because we were afraid there will not be seats left.

Mami & Caleb 4Cs.. Carol, Caleb, Celeste, Celine

By the very last min, Aunty Rachel finally made it to the check in. *Phew*

So all of us boarded the ferry sucessfully. Thanksfully, Caleb sleep throughout the 1 hour ride. So its a plus point for us. Heehee

On the ferry.. .. ..

After hitting shores and clearing the customs, we went on board the Nirwana Gardens bus that was supposed to pick us up. Hmm.. i must say that they are quite 'forgetful'. They almost left behind Uncle Bo's luggage. *tsk tsk*

The bus ride was alright and we reached the hotel pretty soon. Our villa, Tortoise A was ready for check in already. But the other villa, Tortoise F which is shared by Aunty Tracy, Aunty Rachel was not ready yet. The names sure are funny.. Tortoise. Heehee. But then, by this time all of us were growling with hunger already hence we decided to eat 1st b4 we adjourned to our villas..

After lunch, we proceeded to check into our 'Home', Tortoise A.

**Pictures compliments from Aunty Tracy **

We planned to have BBQ dinner tonight. But the BBQ was kinda a diaster. We rented the BBQ pit from Nirwana gardens and well, the kind folks helped us to set the fire. But the fire that that started seem to be impossible for BBQ. The fire is huge and the food was all burnt. *Sigh* Uncle Daren had to cook the rest of the food over a stove.

But special thanks to Uncle Bo and of Caleb's Dadi for manning the BBQ fort. Heehee.

After all our kiddos went to bed, the adults stayed up and chit chat. We saw a 'big whale at work' (its a joke known to us only).. hahaha.Well it was also the 1st time that we witness a dream feed. Aunty Tracy feed milk to Meg in the middle of her sleep without waking Meg up. Must say, its rather impressive!

Mother Day's Dinner at Jumbo

This is the 2nd year that we are celebrating Mother's Day, i mean officially as a Mami lar. The 1st year i cannot remember if we did celebrate. But anyway this year since Angie also became a mum, guess we can have a HUGE celebration. Ahahaha..

We arranged to have dinner at Jumbo near Boat Quay. The food was good especially the bacon roll, crabs, and the fried Mantou!! The drawback was that our orders for the mantou was somehow misplaced, we had to remind them several times before it was served to us. But overall, food was good!!!

As for the damage, it was $213 for 7 adults. Quite reasonable in our aspect cos we have crabs and some seafood. Cake is a must for Mother day's. Something sweet to end our dinner with.

Caleb also saw boats for the 1st time. We brought him to see the boats sailing past the river. He loves it!!!

Alright.. Pics time.

Caleb has a new sling Bag!! Thanks Ah Gong!

Caleb is now behaving like a young adult.. heehee..
Why i say young adult, heehee. Cos i do not knowwhat is the right word to describe so,just say young adult loh.

When Caleb goes for his daily kopi session with Ah Gong and Ah Mah, he has the tendency to want to pay for his items. He will whine till Ah Gong pass him the money to pay. Hence Ah Gong decided to buy a bag for him and put $2 in the bag so that when the drinks is here, Caleb can pay for it.


Big boi boi liao lor!!!

Caleb's favourite: DOGs!!!

Seems like lotsa children adores dogs, Caleb is no exception.
He will chase after the dog and attempt to hug it. We are always quite worried cos not sure if the dog will be irritated by Caleb.
We managed to capture a clip of Caleb 'playing' with doggie. It was my neighbour's dog. The dog managed to entice Caleb into my neighbour's house for the 1st time. Heehee.. The poor dog was so frightened by Caleb that it hid under the sofa, away from him. Caleb did not give up. He still try to bend down to catch a glimpse of the doogie.


Caleb interacting with doggie!!

Caleb and Avriel

Caleb really adores Avriels to bits.
The 1st thing he will say whenever he goes to Ah Mah's house is 'Mei'
Haha, he is looking for his playmate!
Similarly, Avriel will always flash her cutest grin whenever Caleb rushes to her.
Caleb loves to sayang Mei Mei, sometimes even on her butt (for duno what reasons)
Usually Caleb is pretty gentle with Mei Mei, but sometimes when he is too excited, he will be abit rough and Avriel will start fussing.
Caleb, need to be gentle with Mei Mei okie..

Some pics of Mei and Caleb and Ah Gong
