Fantastic 4

He has been talking about this special day since Adam's Birthday back in October. He told me that he wanted a chocolate banana cake and all of us will sing Birthday song to him and he will blow the candle and would light it again and again for Adam to blow then.


So finally the Big day is here. He checked the cake and approved, we sang song to him countless time and that means they blow candle countless time also. Even Adam has been extra nice to him today.

He whispered to me during dinner "Faster say Happy Birthday to me lah" No exception to Adam and Daddy and even Erin. Mama have to say it on Erin's behalf then :)

Yes! It has been four fantastic years and I hope today and the days to come is and will be super fantastic for him.

New Gadget

This really show how parents can have such strong influence on little one. Or shall I say like father like son. I wonder when little Eden will want a real apple.

Daddy you better watch out !!

What is Christmas to you ?

Adam was telling us some of the meaning of Christmas ornament that he had learn in Sunday School yesterday and that draws me to this:


The Star: A heavenly signs of prophecy fulfilled long, long ago- The shining hope of mankind.

The Color Red: The first color of Christmas, symbolizing that Savior’s sacrifice for all.

The Fir Tree: Evergreen- the second color of Christmas shows everlasting light and life. The needles point up to heaven.

The Bell: Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold, signifying that all are precious in His eyes.

The Candle: A mirror of starlight, reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem.

The Gift Bow: Tied as we should all be tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.

The Candy Cane: Represents the shape of the shepherd's crook, used to bring lost lambs back to the fold.

The Wreath: A symbol of the never ending eternal value of love…having no end.

Winter Festival

This year we make some glutinous rice ball with brown sugar filling and I've gotten some with red bean and black sesame from supermarket. The boys seems to enjoy making than eating it.

Adam says he will eat 10 this year as Grandma says he needs to add 2 to his age to get his 'Chinese Age' So jokingly I told him we must make more as Grandma would need 59 rice balls then

Eden's Day Out

Have not been out to this part of civilization lately. And last week Eden and I had a chance to see these beautiful decoration. Yes... Christmas is in the air The boys are all excited, counting down to unwrapped their gift that we have place under the Christmas tree.

Christmas .... isn't Christmas .... till it happen in your heart ......

At the Park

I have been not well for almost two weeks now. Dear think we should all go out for some fresh air. Nothing fancy, just some sandwich, juice and fruits and the kids get to run around enjoying nature and of course the playground.

Looks like everyone is happy :)














Especially this little girl. Sitting quietly on our lap enjoying creation.

Hand Make Ornaments

Just saw Sigrun's post on handmade ginger man. Dear would really be delighted if I can bake like her :)

We bought a Christmas tree last year at 90% discount.(I think it was just 2 days before Christmas) Dear always think that its not essential to have it at home but I managed to lure him get hold of the GREAT FANTASTIC Savings.

Sigh.... I have the tree but no ornaments this year and there isn't any great discount for it either. Somehow all those nice and decent looking ornaments that we saw at the mall are very expensive. And getting a few only is not enough to fill the whole tree. Its like having a top without a skirt.. man.

So I ended up getting the boys to help in these handmade ornaments for our Christmas tree this year.
Maybe I should ask dear to 'pay for my thought' ya.. :)

How bad can your day be ??

Day 1

My car keys falls in here when I dropped Erin and Eden off my mother in law's place.

I was right in front here thinking of a nice cold shower and realised I left the house key on the table while busy with the 'rescue mission'


Yes, I ended up being half and hour late









Day 2

My car made it to my mother in law's place with a high fever and needed a rest

I took my brother in law's car keys convincing myself it will be no different driving a fat round Wira and my square matchbox Iswara. As I sat in, I realised it is a much greater challenge.


Late again. What's the excuse. Amatuer driver keeping at 40km/hour

Eight

We waited quite a while to taste the birthday cake. What happen ??







Its my birthday, So I will blow first










Hey, look!!! The flame is back on!!








Do you think this is like Moses at the burning bush ..... hahahha !!





Xhuen, wanna practice blowing candle for your birthday??







Its back again!!! Who's next ??

Temptations

How can I ever get in shape with these stuff in my cupboard.

Happy Birthday

Smile of a proud daddy of two dinos and an angel..... and a beautiful wife of course (ahem ..... ) who celebrated his 35th Birthday.

Gift of Friendship

I hang out with this girls since Primary school. I still remember some silly games that we played after school during primary days. Secret password and terminologies that only our gang would understand. Dressing up in the same style. Teasing each other as we grow to know some boys during secondary. I really miss those slumber parties that we had. Staying up really late and talk anything under the sky. There's nine of us, Jenny have 2 boys Kenzo and Utah, Kit Yee newly married, Sok Teng is expecting a baby girl in December, Christina have a lovely daughter Rei Qi, Shook Har and Quah who is still enjoying their singehood ( Khong & Agnes who is staying in Hong Kong and Singapore is not in the pic)

We had our reunion again last August when Jenny's family make a trip back from Japan. It was great being able to reconnected in the different path that we are in. We had great time, laughing (very loud) and sharing our gift of friendship

4 years ??? How I wish. She is only 4 months today

We Miss you !

This 3 weeks seems forever and we are all missing the 'old man' in the house. Adam miss talking to you. Eden miss hiding behind the sofa everything you come home. Erin miss your cuddle and kisses. I miss you by my side.

Counting the days to see you...

Dressing Up

Tried this on the boys and wow.... they looked charming. And Daddy says he gets the same compliments from his colleagues too when he puts on the jacket.

Mommy wonders what she shall wear for the family photo shot.

Our Handsome Boy

Looks like Eden caught the photo bug too :)

Our Angel

We might have shot thousands of her photos. This is one of my favorite :)

Dry Nights

Eden finally say Bye-bye to Pampers !! He told me that he woke up to pee one night and sneak into our room to see whether we are asleep :)

Unbelievable !!

The Little Prince

I am reminded of the the book The Little Prince whenever I see these scribbles. And surely Eden has a lot to say on his drawing (which an adult like me just can't figure out :))



This week I began to 'see'. All the adult out there, do you see what I see ???

Interesting Conversation

Since having Erin with us the boys are a bit curious.

Adam : Mom, How did Erin came out from your tummy. Did the doctor cut open and take her out ??

Mama : No, Erin came out through the bottom ( while showing the movement with my hands )

Adam : Speechless and his face turn horrified

(I think I will leave him the details when he is much older )


While I was feeding Erin.

Eden : Pain..pain.. or not mom?

Mama : Yes, but now no more pain now. You want to try ??

Eden : No

Mama : Why ??

Eden : Later milk milk not nice leh ....
