We too, are looking forward to welcoming this new "Buddie".

Barney Space Adventure - 10 Sept 2010
This time round, Brayden will "read" the blogs. He'll ask me to "go up" and "go down". He was trying to look for the pictures and asked me, "Where('s) Barney?"
The sixth row from the front, still a little far as there are heads of parents that blocked the kids. I shan't complain, since I bought the tickets later.
We always enjoyed the Barney shows. Yes, it's WE! I always sang along to the songs with Ethyl and this time, as well as Brayden!
If you ask me to review this year's, in fact I am a tad disappointed as I think it was not as nice as the previous years; be it a paying or a free play at the malls.
My view didn't matter. What matters most is the kids enjoyed themselves. How to determine?? Look at the happy faces below!
Three happy faces and an old frowning face (Hubby's) as I spend a little to buy the kids torches~!!!

A Saturday & Sunday
Our Saturdays are likely routine when the little girl has classes at Janice's Centre - A+cademia.
No, I am not griping, in fact we do treasure the time we have exclusively with the boy.
My focus has all along been Ethyl and it is only when she has classes that I channel some attention to him, exclusively.
Again his favourite toast. We had wanted something else, however when we passed by Wang Cafe, this boy will say, "I want (to) eat this. This way...".
See how lovely his smile was when I got him to pose. So charming!! *tell me I am an obsessive Mom!*
A valuable picture taken in a hawker centre. I can't remember how many times we brought them to one, but definitely not more than 10. That was also why they don't like to visit the hawker centre.
The only solution is to "bribe" them with their favourite food and dessert and it works!!!
Told the pampered duo that I will bring them to hawker more often since the food at Changi Village food centre is really yummy!
Simply enjoy spending a Sunday to ourselves!!!

Typical Sunday
It's no news to friends online to read about us going to Changi Airport (especially T3)on public holidays and weekends.
Another typical day we packed ourselves to the T3 for breakfast at our favorite local toast - Wang Cafe.
The kids simply love the kaya butter toast served and we like the space and lesser crowd. T3 has been packed with activities whenever we visit. F1 is just round the corner and indeed, we do see some tracks around.
Besides the excited lil ones, the old boy is just as excited. I can see him gazing at the remote cars and didn't pay attention to the kids! Haha!
Present a receipt (with any amount spent) at T3, get yourself a ride on this racing machine as well as play the remote controlled car at the tracks.
The boy didn't lose out by being too young to ride, Daddy decided to buy him a mini remote car and play on the Tamiya tracks. He wanted a skyline.
Jiejie got one too! She got herself an Evo.
A simple Sunday morning! What's more important is, it's spent leisurely and with loved ones.

Maiden Trip to Marina Bay Sands
While everyone was rushing to see how the second homeland IR (integrated resort) looks like, we never really wanted to pop by. WHat other big names can we see there besides what was already duplicated in ION Orchard, Paragon, Somerset 313? I would say it's about 80% the same.
Oh well, not exacty we didn't want to pop by MBS; I almost booked a room to on National Day to view the fireworks displays if not for our lucky preview tickets.
I was not in the mood to go anywhere, hence Hubby suggested we pop by Comex (yet another IT fair) and at the same time, have a walk around Marina since it has been a while. No harm, we can pop by and have a stroll down the Esplande stretch.
Our lil model posed again. Doesn't she looked like a tourist? Hubby suggested we shall walk all the way to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) since we have never been there before. Though we were all melting in the heat, I said "why not?!" since it's just a stone's throw away.
A walk down to Youth Olympic Park. Our missy was happy to discuss about YOG and talked about the 2 very cute mascots Lyo and Merly.
Dust was all over the entrance of MBS as reno is still going on. GOSH! I was sneezing and eyes tearing when I got there. Pretty unendurable for me, but for the girl (not the boy as he also has sensitive nose and eyes), we went ahead.
Saw people taking sampan rides in the mall, this arouses the I-also-want-a-ride bug in the kids. What's new? we obliged!
We girls took one sampan, and the boys took the other. A really short ride, less than 10 minutes maybe(?), the kids enjoyed the ride, hence the $5/pax was well spent.
We could hear tummies growling and scoot! back to where we came from, Marina Square to silence our growls.
Where to get some nice thick milkshakes? Billy Bombers is our all time fave! See the lil model in the making?

Off We Go To The Park!
Quite a shame to say, we have been staying here for more than a year and yet to really bring the kids to Pasir Ris Park. I shall point the finger to Hubby again as he is very reluctant to go outdoors!
This time, he finally agreed (well, it was the week before), and we went to buy kite, wanting to fly it in the park. Coincidentally, Dad came to our place just as we reached the park and Ethyl was thoroughly disappointed.
We promised the girl we shall return, and true enough, we return last Sunday.
The girl forsake her kite in the car after seeing the huge playground. See? She has been blaming Gong Gong and Po Po for coming at the wrong time, yet she didn't fly her kite in the end. Kids.
We had so much fun! This is a place we definitely will return to drain out the 2 power house.

Inaugural Trip to Resort World Sentosa (RWS)
To be frank, RWS is not appealing to me. I never even really wanted to bring the kids to the Universal Studio to catch some fun.
However, my sis got tickets to watch Voyage de la Vie, so we went ahead last saturday since it has been a while we stepped into Sentosa.
It is always nice to meet up with the Tans as both my little ones enjoys the company of Lleroy.
We parked our cars at Tiong Bahru Plaza and took the free shuttle bus into Sentosa.
Seems like it was last October that we last went to the island, and it now looks so different (where RSW was built).
The "A" was missed out while I was adjusting the focus.
Ethyl whent "wow...a castle"
the tiny peeps
The Tans
The Lims
the lil ones again!
I can't remember it was how many years ago I last watched a circus performance. at least a decade ago! This is defintely worth watching!
After the show, we went to Lau Pa Sat for dinner.
Out appetizer!
We always enjoy outings with my sister. The youngest alway has her own program, so, she is always not included in our outings!

Bento #05
Supposed to be my rest day from making bento, however little girl has been telling me to cook her pasta and she really hopes to have it tomorrow, I have no other choice, but to give in to her request.
Hubby softly blasted my ears for no keeping to my promise to rest well for a day. I am rebellious ya? *smiles*
Nevertheless, I still woke up earlier than usual as I will have more to prepare today.
I though the breakfast would be too heavy for her, but she told me, "Mommy, I will finish, if I can't finish all in the morning, I will eat them in the afternoon too!" Sweetie pie she is! However, I told her, if she can;t finish, just leave it as it will be too cold by noon to consume.
I hope she will enjoy her breakfast.
Here's Hubby's bento :)

Bento #04
homemade bread, egg and cheery tomatoes
Last day of my first week's attempt.
I made sandwich loaf myself last night, and made them these sandwiches with my very first try on making bread.
Texture of the bread is not ideal as it is a little too dense and lacks fluffiness. Taste wise is still acceptable.
Still thinking if I should wake up and make something for them tomorrow. Shall see how. Hubby says I look pale due to lack of quality rest. Maybe should just rest for a day.

Bento #03
As I was running late today, I didn't make the sushi rolls as I had planned. So the little boy had this car-shaped sandwich spread with Smuckers and some strawberries. Hubby had the same thing too!
No bento for my darling girl as she has fever and I told her to rest at home today.
It feels really good to spend some time preparing something for them. Nothing fanciful here, but it's something I made just for them!

Bento #02
My loved ones all love pancakes. Thus I made some for them today.
The pancakes were cut out with a bear shaped mold. Had wanted to put some chocolate sauce to make the eyes, nose and ears, but decided not to as it'll smudge and it will be "face-off" by the time the kids eat them in school.
The jelly is homemade. Brayden gets a crescent moon and a star whilst Ethylyn gets a jellied-pig.
In order to promote healthier eating, I baked the smiley potato faces and added to their bentos.

My First (proper) Attempt - Bento
My official attempt on bento making starts today. I have been preparing breakfast for them (and Hubby helped many times too), but those are just putting the bread, food in the lunch boxes and much to rave about.
This time, I bought many new bento tools to help me come up with some nice and lovely looking food for the kids.
It ain’t really easy when it comes to bento planning for Brayden. I will share why.
Planning for Ethyl’s been pretty easy as she is able to feed herself and has been very independent.
Today’s breakfast, bread rolls with sausage and cheese, strawberries, and gummies.
Brayden is still not very good in terms of self feeding. He can do it, but there will be accidental spills once in a while. Not too bad, but I do not wish to add on more chores for the teachers in school, thus I prepared something simple for him. Oh, did I ever share that Brayden is a “bread-boy”? He loves bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner and supper??
He likes bread without spread or fillings; he loves fresh, plain bread.
Brayden’s bento contains molded bread and gummies
They are packed and ready to go!
Hubby's bento contains wholemeal bread with tuna mayo, strawberries and sausages

The Big Musical Bauble & Barney Show
T3 has become one of our favourite spot to visit during the weekends. I love going to buy little things (as they don’t charge GST). Compared to the malls at Tampines, T3 is definitely less crowded.
We went there about 2 weeks ago. Saw his huge musical bauble and got Ethyl to join in the fun!
She was supposed to grab the orange ping pong ball in order to win a special gift. Nevertheless, the kids’ zone she was at only had one such ball and she didn’t manage to get any. Well, Ethyl was definitely upset, and cried. In order to console the little girl, I actually bought her a small pack of chocolate from the Chocolate factory nearby.
Barney Show @ United Square
As this is the school holiday period, there were many shows going on from November to December. We caught the Hi 5! show at Takashimaya before we went to T3 (no photos for the Hi 5! Show though).
The following day, we went to catch Barney show at United Square. We caught the 7pm show, and was queing 1 hour and 30 minutes before the show.
It seems so usual for me to spoil the kids by buying them (things they already have), and seeing them smiling and enjoying while queing and waiting for their “idol” to appear!
While waiting for the purple dino to appear…
Brayden sat further from us as they were delayed while trying to enter.
In fact, we all enjoyed the performance! Ethyl and I were happily singing along and enjoying the ourselves!
Time to fill our rumbling tummies after the performance!
Brayden placing order.
Just outside Pizza Hut, they have this boat ride and we let the kids have some fun!
I really love weekends, albeit they are too short!
