Mama's gathering session

It's time for a once-in-a-few-months gathering session with mama's friends. This time, we are going for a seafood lunch at Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro!

Mama grabs a window seat with Cayden-boy
Suzanne and Germaine at the other side of the table
Peter always love to flex his muscles and carry both babies at the same time
Cayden-boy showed off his artistic talents
Here comes the seafood platter~ Yum, Yum!
After the high cholesterol meal, Miss Dong recommeded coffee at the other corner of the street. Unfortunately, they happened to be changing shift and and one of the staff told us that they would be doing stock taking, and would be closed till later in the evening.

We had no choice but to seek another alternative. As a "big sister head" of the girl gang, mama suggested "Tea Party" along bukit timah road.

As usual, Cayden-boy fell asleep during the car ride
When I was beginning to get bored, Germaine volunteered to be my model!
Loved her rosy cheeks!
Female version of Peter is so beautiful!
Ms Dong smiling broadly when we talked about her wedding preparations
Cayden-boy woke up from his sleep and found cups of tea on the table..
Cayden-boy begins drawing out and re-inserting the straws to the cups..
Never know that cups and straws can be excellent toys to keep the kids occupied..
Seafood at Greenwood is really fresh. Loved the restaurant's setting and atmosphere. The only drawback will be the price tag. To leisurely spend the day eating the freshest seafood, and enjoying freshly brewed tea is one of our favorite past time!

Mama enjoyed her little meet-up session with her friends alot. Cayden-boy must be happy too since he's able to spend the day with his 2 most-favourite persons and Mama allowed him to indulge in "outside food" like the everybody's-favourite-"muffin-bread", fish and chips, corn soup, bubble tea etc etc! 

Me? I'm happy enough to have good food and lots of chances to snap snap snap! :p

SiJie's birthday celebration

It's Sijie's first birthday celebration held in a CityLights condo. A walk through the pavements along the condo leaves an impression that it belongs to a more of a classy type of housing. The clear swimming pool, jacuzzi, clean environment and well maintained gym equipments reveals constant grooming and maintanence by the management.

It seems that everyone's curious about the classy condo.. Not just me. When we arrived at the function room, majority of the guests were moving around, marvelling the beautiful layout and fantastic view of the condo from 30th floor.

Adeline annouces cake cutting in 10 minutes upon our arrival. It seems that we are Sijie's last guest! All the guests appeared one by one as if she had cast some magical spells and the function room is filled with people within minutes. Amazing!

SiJie's 3D birthday castle cake!

We are all ready!
Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you~~~

"Where's papa ?" Mama asked
All good things come to an end. Its about time to pack up the stuffs and put a full stop to the event. Mama places Cayden-boy with the princess for a photoshoot!

The adults had a terrific time busting the balloon right at the end of the party!

It was a fun day at CityLights! I hoped to have a barbecue party at CityLight to have the chance to have a peep into the beautiful Singapore lighting from 30th floor! I believe the view will be magnificant!

A day at Pasir Ris Park

It was raining the night before when we walked past a playground. Cayden-boy pointed to a swing and said "there!" with excitement.

"It's raining, Cayden-boy.. Let's do it some other time.." I speed up my pace before Cayden-boy can even protest.

It aches my heart and was telling myself that I should fulfill my promise and "do it some other time" before I forget and disappoint an infant. With this in mind, I proposed Pasir Ris park to mama, keeping my fingers crossed that it ill not rain.

The first stop is Gallop Stable at Pasir Ris Park!

Cayden-boy refuses getting near to the horse..

Grandma joins in for a pose

My turn with Cayden-boy.

"Horses are very tame.. They are herbivorous.. Don't worry.." as I try to convince Cayden-boy to touch the horses.. 

One final pose before we leave this station.
The moment came and the weather's perfect! Let's head towards the playground!

Mama putting Cayden-boy into the swing's harness

Mama let go of the swing..
Cayden-boy began to smile..

Cayden-boy quirks ,"Woh.. Woh..." while enjoying the swing

Satisfied baby-boy after the swings
Cayden-boy was reluctant to get down from the swing. He would shake his head when mama asked if its enough. I would then smile with pride when I saw cayden-boy's reply! i knew I had chose the right place!

At the corner of my eye, I aimed at the shiny slide. When Cayden-boy had enough of the slide, I quickly carried him and rushed to the next station!

Explaining to Cayden-boy our objective on the top of the playground

Let's do it!

"Whh hoh!" Cayden-boy's expression is priceless!

"Where is the baby?" Mama asked and Cayden-boy points to himself..

"Naughty mama.. you tricked me again....."
I am sure Cayden-boy enjoyed his day in the park. We will return again, and by then, Cayden-boy will have his freedom of choice to what games he wants to play! It's a big playground for the kids anyway!

A visit to Uncle Lip Sing

It has been a really long time since we last visit Uncle Lip Sing and family. The last outing with them was at the RWS, where cayden-boy had fun messing up the hotel while mama and I had good food at Chillies restaurant.

This time round, Cayden-boy had fun messing up JunXi's, ZhengXi's and HuiXi's toys. Cayden-boy was really busy. I was really puzzled. Cayden-boy showed less interest with his Bobby car as compared to JunXi's toy car. Why...?

Hmm... wonder if papa will get me 1 of this too?


Cayden-boy mounting on the ride-on offered by JunXi gorgor generously


When you attempt to push a ride-on and a push walker at the same time, you'll get? S.T.U.C.K


After getting his legs tired, Cayden-boy began messing with finger toys..


The  next thing we know, Cayden-boy began to chew!
JunXi, ZhengXi and HuiXi had really grown! Mama and I were suprised to see how much they have changed... That probably hinted us how fast time flies and we had to keep snapping to get 'that moment' and memories down.

This boy used to be our "mahjong kahki" too - in his mama's tummy


A little chat with ZhengXi and his responses impressed me

The doll-eyed HuiXi. LipSing gonna be so so worried when she grows into a pretty young lady!


As I was having great fun snapping away, Cayden-boy had a fall.. His cries drawn everyone's attention. Mama moved and carried Cayden-boy instantly, re-directing his attention to clam him down.

Mama calming Cayden-boy down..
Once in awhile gathering is a good form of interactions for both the kids and adults. Nothing beats the time well spent to drinking a bottle of Hoegaarden beer, idling around and chatting!
