Little cowgirl

WHILE it may look like Z is the birthday girl, it was actually R's birthday.

It was a fun party with great sangria. Yum.

Z borrowed Julian's hat for the night and she looked like a little cowgirl with her pink dolphin swimming towel/poncho.

Giant turtle monster

THE things we make our children do for a good photo - despite them being terrified!

Bad mommy....

Merry Christmas!!

OUR first Christmas at 236...

...with home made Christmas (carrot) Cake.

The kid dashed

SPOT the runners!


Z was super proud of her medal. Photo courtesy of Aunty KT.

Happy Birthday Poh Poh!

Z AND I made Poh Poh three boxes of cupcakes for her three birthday parties!!

The base was a lovely light coconut butter cake and it was topped with a coconut marshmallow icing.

How cute is this picture!!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Kennedy!!!

And then the kids got to work decorating some dairy free cupcakes (if you ignore the cream cheese icing!) for Uncle K to take home. Most of the icing ended up on their faces...

Z gets her mitts on the Ixus

BEING a little snap happy, Z decided that she wanted to take on the role of photographer at dinner tonight.

Out of about 50, a few were quite artistic.

Horsing around

A QUICK visit to VivoCity brought much morning entertainment.

I'm really too embarrassed to show what the entire family got up to at the Osim fair (let's just say no one else could use the products available for trial).

Before the massage chair is turned on:


During the massage:

Bird Park

OUR first visit didn't last very long as dark clouds threatened to unleash their fury - and also, Z hated the shows and only seemed to like the Penguins.


Thanks to Happy Feet!

Fren-emies

A TERM coined by Uncle Kennedy for these two best buddies (sometimes!).

I must say Sasha is much better than sharing than Z.

Only child syndrome?

Feeding the fish

HEADING to the ponds at the Botanics is one of our favourite activities.

This time we brought along Z's grandparents, who had as good a time as her.

Brunch at The Regent

BIG brother Julian and his sidekicks.

Nothing like good role models for the little ones.

Horsing around

JUST outside of Picotin on Fridays and the weekends, they have pony rides for the little ones.


But in Z's case it just turned out to be a photo shoot coz she didn't really like it once she got on!



And then it was dinner time with her pal Baby Tata!

Uncle Steve's Post Bar

Z HAS decided that one lime green and one hot pink Croc is the way to go in the toddler fashion world.

We headed to Uncle Steve's who has invited a load of colleagues over to his place for a Post Bar recreation, with legit Bartender and all...

Z, under JieJie Hayley's influence, charmed the Bartender Charis for a mocktail - I hope!

Singapore's First F1 Race

Z WASN'T allowed to watch the night race, but she still got into the spirit of it.



WOW look how handsome Nico Rosberg is!

Multivitamins

MAYBE they shouldn't put so much food colouring in them...

Happy Birthday dear Uncle!

Finally Fidgets

WE may live five minutes away but it has taken us quite a while to get there.

As you see, Z dressed herself for a real workout.

But at the end of the session, I think only Mom was exhausted.

Phuket in August

JUST one week before the airport was shut down, we managed to squeeze in a holiday.

Z had such a good time. Her highlights:

Hotel grub!




Sand and more sand!



Playgrounds, playrooms and making choc chip cookies in playgroup (Marriott Mai Khao is an uber kid friendly place!).





And her new toy - my hair band.

Our little vege patch

THE weather was cool and cloudy when we decided to harvest the paltry fruit of our garden.

It was a good thing, Z decided to taste the bittergourd instead of the chilli padi.


Check out the teeth marks. She got a mouthful of bitter juice - and she sure wasn't having anymore to do with it.


Since we were outdoors and the weather was good - for once - Z had a picnic dinner.

Much tastier than a raw bittergourd.
