Little princess of Jinghui (Keng Fai) and Xinxin (Yean Yean) ....
My First Blog
Hello everybody, I am little princess Jing Ting ... finally have my own blog because Daddy was bored and home-sick when he was in the States ... so decided to create a blog for me ! HOORAY !!!
Come and read my blog as Daddy and Mummy update it as regularly as they can
Today we went to celebrate 姑姑 birthday (cannot reveal how old she is here .... otherwise 姑姑 will kill me). Decided to have Japanese food at Waraku since both 爷爷 and me love Japanese food a lot (ha ha, it's 姑姑 birthday but never see whether it is her favourite food or not ....)
Since we were early, we walked around at Marina Square and Suntec City areas. Saw the Japanese Anime event at the convention halls ... lots of people all dressed up for the event. Also saw mascots, so I decided to pose with them
We asked for a private room in Waraku so that we can talk a bit louder and I do not have to be restrained to my baby chair. But soon after, Mummy regretted .... because I kept running about in the room, never had my buttock stuck to the cushion for more than 5 seconds
Finished taking my picture ???
Exploring 姑姑's handphone .... did I see something that I should not see ???
Time to get off the cushion and start my running around activity
Oops, ventured too far, out of my room already ...
Then our food came .... we really ordered a lot of food.
姑姑's curry udon, mini size
叔叔's salmon rice set
This is Daddy's curry chicken udon, regular size. Look at the big bowl relative in size to the one beside ... and the bowl is really heavy
Sashimi set .... salmon and tuna
The japanese squid .... really very fresh and crunchy
My kids' set meal .... and comes with free toy, this time, is a pair of badminton racquets.
And many more food that 叔叔 did not take photos of .... Daddy had the VIP card which entitled him to 30% discount. So at the end, we only paid $105 for the dinner .... really worth it.
Then comes the cake cutting .... the staff at Waraku were very considerate. They put the cake on a plate, lit the candle, off the lights and brought the cake into the room. Also prepared a few small plates for us to eat from ....
Singing the birthday song .... Routine for me since I have birthday celebration in school almost every month
Cutting the cake ... I am eyeing the cake more than looking at the camera
Planting a kiss on 姑姑's cheeks.
Then it was time for me to "work" since I cannot eat the cake ... deliverying the cake to all the people in the room
Since it was still early after dinner and the evening was cooling, we decided to enjoy the christmas lightings along the streets .... thought the newspaper commented that Marine area lightings are nicer than Orchard area ... but so-so only leh
Popped over to the Esplanade so that I can drink my milk while enjoying the breeze and night view ....
The Merlion that has been repaired and now sprouting water into the river ....
And guess what is that ??? The place where all gamblers unite in future !!!!
I was so tired from all the running around that I fell asleep in the car on the way home .... fully dressed in my sleeping pyjamas
Yesterday I have decided to spend the night away from home !!! No more sleeping in my own bed, in my own room nor in my own house !!!
YES !!! I have decided to spend the night at 奶奶 and 爷爷 house. And the reason is I want to sleep with 姑姑 !!!!
As usual, it was a friday evening and we went down to 奶奶 and 爷爷 house for dinner and fun time. Then I finished my milk and changed into my pyjamas, and we were ready to say bye bye to all ... however, I clinged onto 姑姑 and refused to let Daddy or Mummy carry me. Instead I just waved bye bye to them and said good night. Yes, I had made up my mind to sleep with 姑姑 that night. Ha ha.
奶奶 and 爷爷 were so worried that I would wake up in the middle of the night and ask for Daddy or Mummy then that would be disastrous. But Daddy and Mummy were pretty confident that I will sleep throughout the night and not an issue. So for the first time, they decided to let me sleep away from home and only pick me up the next morning. And sure enough, I slept throughout the entire night (after playing around for quite a while with 姑姑 before I got tired and went to bed). And Daddy and Mummy decided to go have a late night supper before they went home (idea was to stay around Clementi for a while in case I changed my mind and wanted to go home). That was really relaxing for Daddy and Mummy, ha ha.
The next time, Daddy and Mummy met us at Ghim Moh market for breakfast before bringing me back home ....
Looks like we should do it more often so that Daddy and Mummy can try some late night shopping as well ... ha ha. I am definitely really adaptable !!!!
Fun can be achieved with just simple toys .... Daddy and Mummy bought this simple rail car for me quite a while back .... so decided to take out and play with it again after dinner today.
Just this simple toy can keep me occupied for a full 1 hr with Daddy. Pretending the traffic lights turning red and green, stopping the car unnecessarily, causing 'accidents' .... good way to keep me occupied after dinner till milk time.
The weather has been wet these few days, so this morning, when the weather is cooling with no sign of rain, Daddy and Mummy decided to bring me to the farms at Kranji Farmland for a walk .... very close to our house, at most 10-15 mins drive
Went to the Hay's Goat Farm as usual. Got tired to looking at milking goats ... then we proceeded to Hausmann Marketing Aquarium (similar concept as the Qian Hu Aquarium), not far from Hay's Goat Farm. There are activities like children longkang fishing, prawn fishing, fishing pond for members only and even fish spa. Of course, what I was interested in immediately was the Koi and Turtle areas ...
Fish spa area (taken from their website) ... of course when I went there, the place was empty ... maybe still too early for people to have fish area
Daddy bought $2 worth of koi and turtle food for me to feed them. Started with the turtles ... some of them were really big and I saw one baby turtle. Whenever I threw the food at the baby turtle, the other turtles were so fast that they snatched up the food before the baby turtle could eat it. So I had to 'aim' very accurately .....
Then Koi feeding time. No wonder they say Kois are really smart ... wherever I went, the kois just followed me, whether I had food in my hands or not. And I just loved the sounds that the kois made when they gobbled up the food that I threw at them ....
At least there are some farms near our home for us to enjoy once in a while .... Hope the government will not relocate the farms anytime soon ....
Auntie Esther used to have 3 dogs : Waffle, Pebble and Sugar. But Sugar had been down with illness and had to be taken away recently. So now, it is left with 2. I used to play only with Pebble and Sugar since they are much smaller in size.
But since I have grown taller, I have decided it is time to explore Waffle ... especially when Waffle is much friendlier than the other 2 ... the moment Waffle saw me, he wanted to lick me and Daddy had to be the barrier to protect me from his saliva .... ha ha.
Nevertheless, I tried to have some fun with Waffle, with the help of Auntie Esther of course.
Today is Valerie's first year birthday .... so Uncle Kelvin (although he is much older than me, he is actually my cousin .... ha ha) invited us to his baby gal's birthday celebration at Auntie Esther's house. So Daddy and Mummy decided to bring me there earlier so that I can go and take a dip in the baby pool.
Really a long time since I last 'swam' .... this time, I really enjoyed myself a lot. No need to use any float like the last time (anyway the float is too small for me now)
Getting ready to get into the water ....
Started with water splashing as warm up ... nothing too exciting in case I get swimming phobia
With the help of Daddy, I actually learnt how to kick my legs in the water ....
And then with the help of Daddy, I actually managed to swim in the water .... except that when I kick my legs, instead of moving forward, I moved sideways (like a crab) .... all Daddy's fault, never make it look like I am really swimming. Ha ha
Got tired of swimming so I decided to get out of the pool and sat by it ... kicking my legs inside the water .... never knew it could be tat fun .... trying hard to kick the water to Daddy, but looks like I still needed more strength
Of course, not forgetting the superstar for the evening ... the birthday gal, Valerie. She really has a very charming smile. I insisted on playing on Valerie's toy car, which was supposed to be her birthday present .... ha ha
Daddy normally drives along Woodlands road to get to Causeway Point ... and that means we will pass by the sign that points to Mandai Zoo .... and I will always get excited and shout out "Animals" !!!
So today, as usual when Daddy was driving past the Mandai Zoo sign ....
Ting : "Daddy, Animals !!!!" Daddy : "Where ?" (act blur) Ting : "There ...." (pointing to the sign) Daddy : "Where ???" (still acting blur) Ting : "You drive so fast, animals go off already lar"
Mummy was sitting beside Daddy, laughing non-stop and tearing ..... Daddy was trying hard to control his laughter ...
叔叔 came to my house for dinner on Wednesday .... have been a long time since I seen him because most Friday evenings when I go down to 奶奶 and 爷爷 place for dinner, he is always out with his friends ... so since this is rare opportunity, I must grab 叔叔 to play with me after dinner ....
So when is 姑姑's turn to come to my house and play with me ????
Remembered I mentioned about my new toy from Waraku in the last post .... it was actually a hair styling set designed for kids .... came with a comb, hair brush, hair dryer, hair straighteners, mirror etc. Almost the perfect set for a professional hair stylist.
So I decided to try out my hair styling skills on a model .. and that is Mummy !!! Long hair, lots of hair (at least compared to Daddy so damaging and pulling out a few strands of Mummy's hair during the work is alright ... ha ha).
So how ? Do I have the make of a professional hair stylist in future ? Even have sound effects ... making sounds of the electric hair dryer. Ha ha
I arrived on 31st Dec 2006, weighing 3.700kg at Mt Alvernia Hospital. Heard Daddy bought 4D using my weight but never win anything leh ... if not, I can ask Daddy to buy me new toys and books using the winnings :)
