New words of the day - 27/10/2009
Yeah, Raphael finally learns how to call his uncle "Ah Gu", "Gu Gu" and when he see Yakult...he can pronounce it properly! When Ah Lai Ah Gu hear Raphael calling him, he was so happy that he brought Raphael down to buy Yakult (Phael's Favourite drink).... Hehehee... Very happy his speech is progressing well, all thanks to my parents who taught him all this.. He also can pronounce "Clock" and point to clock lor! Hey hey, not forgetting he also know how to call "Yee Yee" instead of "Ah Chew" for Auntie Hoon (But this is dependent on Phael's Mood...Ah Chew is still the tag for Hoon, maybe hoon should get ah Phael some Milo or Yakult?) Oh by the way, Raphael knows how to call my chinese name! "Yu Ying"!!!! Surprises are springing onto me day by day... When I get my bonuses, I really need to treat my parents who had been so tolerant and so patient with my boy... =) Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts What makes me happy?
What truly make me happy? What is the definition of the word Happy? Happy to me is something which make my heart melts and smile from within.. No fake smiles, no fake acknowlegement..A pure feeling which come from the bottom of my heart and nothing else.. no obligations, nothing... Why am I saying all these? Recently I been observing my boy and he is always playing cheerfully, be it playing with switches, TV, Fan, or his toys. He will smile and laugh...Then i posted him this question..."Baby, are you happy?" Out of my surprise, he nodded his head and reply me "Baby...Happy." Sometimes he will walk to me, hug me from behind and says "Mummy.. Baby.. Happy" I melted when I hear him say all these, he is happy, maybe... I do not believe in giving him numerous classes to enrich him, as I hope that his childhood be filled with plays, eat, happiness.I only believe in enrolling him in classes he will enjoy, like Kindermusic and in future maybe Julia Gabriel. Recently we observed that he is very happy in this class which he had attended for 2 terms (16 weeks) and he love this teacher, Shauna. He will played with her and disturb her during lessons (pulling off her scarf during peekaboo time and exclamining out loud "Zak" and trying to cling to her) Last night he was playful again, didnt sleep till 1am... When I was trying to cover myself with blanket, he came over, said "no more... no more... Mummy"... Pull off my blanket and try to drag me to sit upwards.. "Arrrrh.... What do u want my boy..." I asked... "Play?" He nod his head... Why me? I thought... Daddy is also in the room, sleeping... Yes, sleeping.. "Why dun u go over and disturb him instead?" I ask him... He shake his head.. "Mummy Mummy...." This is the price to pay... No maid, no mother staying over to help me... But i get the freedom, the space I wanted... Of coz there are pros of having a maid or mother staying over to help, more sleep, more relax, more rest... Realised is just rest in this case...But they tend to lose out in the long run, the child will prefer the main caretaker more..trust me.. This is very true... They will not be as close to you, this is the path I have chosen.. Although I do doubt myself sometimes in the journey... But after seeing how much Raphael prefers me.. Its all worth it... They need attention, care and lots of cuddles from us. Well Well... I am tired sometimes... But happy he learnt alot through playing with us. HAPPY!

Uncle Brandon's Birthday Ooops
25th Oct 2009..a Birthday celebration that will remain in Daddy's memory for all the wrong reason haha..Just a week ago before Tua Pek's birthday, Daddy was still telling Mummy he planning to celebrate for Tua Pek at where and where etc.. Then came the rush of activites over the week that he totally lost track of dates..And on Sun 25th Oct, the family met up for dinner at Godpa's house. Grandma cook mee siam *1st unusal thing* on Tua Pek's actual birthday..then no one mentioned anything about the birthday when Tua Pek arrives at the house wearing nice clothes haha *2nd unusual thing*..the *3rd unusual thing* is at 9.30pm, Daddy was rushing Mummy to packup and go home to watch ManUtd Vs Liverpool.. At this point of time, Tua Pek went to the toilet to change out of his nice clothes..Still no one congratulate him...the FACT is everyone forgets about his 33rd Birthday!!Poor Tua Pek also didnt hint earlier hahaha.. Only when BIG Sis-in-law gentle reminder at 10.45pm did the whole family realised whats "wrong" hahaha..immediately, we stopped what we are doing and Godpa went to hunt for a cake at 11.15pm to meet the dateline for blowing candles.. What a memorable Birthday event.. Last min cake - not nice leh.. Why are we all dressed so casually, you guessed it Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts Busy, Tired and Fun weekend
This weekend was full of activities..from Fri all the way to Sun..Daddy and Mummy took leave on Fri to bring Raphael to ECP Polliwog's for a workout session haha..the place is spacious and child safe..it was also not crowded on Fri when we went.. Raphael had a good time overcoming obstacles, playing slides and throw balls, but what was missing are playmates for him..as we observed that he enjoys more when Rayden, Damien and Jorel is around. Thats what happens on Sat when the F4 gathered at GOGo Bambini at Dempsey for more fun..The boys had a great time interacting while overcoming the obstacles..Poor Daddy..Goliath in David's den..had to squeeze thru the small space just to take photos of Raphael.. Next visit to Polliwogs, mummy was thinking of bringing Yvette jie jie together...yoohoo..it will be so much fun. Polliwogs Raphael facing all the obstacles..dunno how to start I am the BABY! Preparing to slide down Happy Raphael with Daddy Most challenging Obstacle in Polliwogs Visit to the neighbourhood playground Raphael performing a dance routine for Mummy haha..he will respond to Mummy saying "Dancing Dancing all around..Dancing Dancing round" GoGo Bambini Raphael getting ready to spring a surprise on Damien? Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts Raphael's update
We went to PD last weekend to buy some travel medicine for our Tokyo Trip...Daddy was super excited on Raphael's weight as he kept complaining that Raphael seems heavier! So we put him on weighing scale..OMG...11.5kg! hahaa... Duno since when he grew so much, maybe due to the "junkie" food mummy had fed him.. Mcvities lar, Hello Panda, Magnolia milk, Yakult, anything Mummy love, he also love... not forgeting the Whopper burger (daddy always feed him the patties)... Oh ya, recent word Raphael had picked up is "HAPPY"... he will say Mummy, Baby, Happy... Is he trying to tell me that he is happy? Then on one occassion Daddy Jumps up from bed, run out of room...It shocked Raphael alot and he goes patting his chest area... I asked him if he is "papa"--scared... He nodded his head and keep patting his chest area.. Daddy...Please do not have such sudden movement in future ok..u are scaring our little boy!

Tokyo Trip!
Beautiful Ya? This is Mt Fuji and in less than a month's time, we be in Tokyo! Yeah! Of course with our little Darling Raphael. We will not leave him behind! Though it be a hectic guided tour, we preferred to have it guided instead of free and easy as we are lazy pple.... Maybe the following year, we will try a free and easy Tokyo Trip again! How can we missed the Tokyo Disneyland? This is a place which we must go! Keep in tunes in mid Nov for more pictures ya! Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts Sunday, October 18, 2009
Kent Ridge Park
After our breakfast, as its still early, we decided to drive up to Kent Ridge Park to expose Raphael to some natural surroundings. Up the steep road and we were greeted by a tank..Of course we had to pose with it haha.. The area was not crowded and we let Raphael explore by dragging us around..Daddy wanted to avoid the steep steps up the observatory point, but who knows...Raphael already started dragging Mummy up the steps haha.. Besides the tank, there is a small flower garden, initially Raphael was feeling adventurous and wanted to venture in. But 1/2 way thru, he realized the path is getting narrow and to avoid the shrubs, he actually lifted his arms haha..further in, he made a U-turn and decided its too much for him to explore further..Cute boy As its nearing noon, the sun was strong and we were all perspiring away, especially Raphael who can even perspire when in Air-con room..An enjoyable Sunday morning, and off we go to Grandma Teo's house to rest before Raphael's Sunday lesson.. Tired from the walk, cannot smile oredi hahah Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts Breakfast@One Rochester - 18th Oct Sun
Its Sunday again, but with a difference. Today, mummy actually planned a breakfast outing which is so unlike her as she is usually lazy to go out so early with Raphael's barang barang..But today she got a good offer of 1 for 1 breakfast set, so off we went at 10am.. CTE is JAMMED as usual, so Daddy took the longer but more scenic SLE-KJE route and we reached our Destination at 1045am...yeah..the carpark was not crowded and the restaurant is near the carpark..up a flight of stairs and we are at One Rochester Park We decided on the Rochester Brunch set with the eggs done 2 ways..they offer a wide variety for the set, museli, cereal, fruits, juices, bread and the mains..The service was prompt and friendly..Best of all is the outdoor area was cool and breezy.. We had a nice and lazy time until Raphael decided thats it..he had enough of sitting down, so Daddy and Mummy had to take turns to bring Raphael to "tour" the restaurant compound which is big and beautiful with lotsa shady trees. Overall, enjoyable breakfast with nice surroundings made perfect with the 1 for 1 offer haha.. Raphael poring over the menu..deep in thought on what to have for breakfast Nice outdoor seating area with Giant fans blowing, cool and no Mozzies Water curtain behind our table, nice sound of water dropping Raphael having his snack before breakfast Celery and Orange Juice Wholemeal bread with butter and jam Raspberry with museli, cocao crunch with milk and watermelon Mains with Scrambled eggs Mains with Sunny side egg Mummy smelling Raphael's armpit haha. Taking a walk in the restaurant compound Posing with the Restaurant Name as usual to mark our visit :p Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts Visit to Punggol Prawn Fishing Farm - 17th Oct
