中秋節 Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar. This year 2010, the moon festival falls on 22nd of September 2010.

For the children, they love carrying brightly lit lantern to celebrate moon-cake festival.

This year, we have a box of Raffles Hotel's Snow Skin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle & Ganache. A box of mooncake we all enjoyed, really mouth watering, and delicious... yummy :)

Portable potty seat for the child

We have bought a simple portable potty seat from the market, this pink potty seat can be easily fit onto the family toilet bowl, the extra seat give the child comfortabily and at same time protect the child from falling while using the toilet. The IKEA children's stool is for the child to step up, the stool has the anti-slip cover on top, reduces the risk of slippage, the anti-slip protector on underside also makes the stool stand steady.

After used, my child will take off the toilet seat by herself and have it hang on the side of the wall, and the stool place at the side, within easy reach for the child at the next use.

Don't like vegetables, what to do?

Somehow my child dislike vegetables, she simply hate the sight of them. If the rice, porridge or even soup got vegetable in it, she will scream and say there is dirt inside. I will have to pick out the vegetables in it, and she will then eat the food. It can be quite a headache sometimes, imagine the rice was being fried with chopped spring onion, then we have to separate the spring onion out from the fried rice, can be a tedious 'exercise'.


One thing quite surprising is that she loves dried seaweed, even though it is vegetable. I hope that as she grows older, she will appreciates the vegetables better.

KinderJoy with Surprise!

KinderJoy is currently the favorite snack for my girl. Advertisement on KinderJoy was widely shown in between cartoon channels. It has become a very hot popular `luxury' snack for the children, two chocolate balls in a creamy spread, costing S$1.60!

KinderJoy is shaped as a egg-shell, half contained the tasty milky chocolate, the other half egg-shell is sealed with a toy which need assembling.

What made it so popular is the surprise that comes with it, each individual `chocolate egg' contained a toy inside, it play with the kid's curiousity, wanting to buy and peel off the cover to see what the toy inside.

I see my girl carefully scooped up the chocolate with the given tiny spoon, worry that the egg will `fly' out to the ground. Happily munching the chocolate and eyeing curiously at the other half of the egg wondering what the toy inside.

"KinderJoy with surprise" will continue to be a popular snack, at least for my kid... :)

Thomas and Friends

Recently my 2 years plus girl has been humming this song of 'Thomas and Friend', did it most of time. However one thing you may not know, that is she is terrified to watch this cartoon, only love the song initially. When her cousins watching, she usually started to cry and screamed she scared, do not want to watch. She is afraid of the facial expression of the train, scary to her. Gradually she begin to start watching, by hidding behind the sofa, and watch from there. So cute!


This is part of the Thomas & Friends's lyrics which she usually sing :

"Thomas he's the cheeky one
James is vain but lots of fun
Percy pulls the mail on time
Gordon thunders down the line
Emily really knows her stuff
Henry toots and huffs and puffs
Edward wants to help and share
Toby, well let's say, he's square
............................."

Full arc rainbow

This evening, I saw a full arc rainbow. I am so happy and excited. I shared this excitement with my little daughter, showing her what is a rainbow, can tell she is also enjoying it as much as I do, marveled by the beauty of the colourful shape in the sky. Magnificent! The rainbow became brighter and clearer as times passes. I quickly uses my camera to take some snap-shots of it, however due to the light, I appeared dark in the picture, but is okay, I am really happy today. There is also another rainbow high above it, however it appeared faintly. Lilian Too said on http://www.wofs.com/ that “…seeing a rainbow is always a good sign ….. and when double rainbow appeared whatever is coming to you has great meaning in your life and that one good thing will lead to another good thing ….. The rainbows are a sign from the cosmic universe that you are about to have something great fall into your lap!” I truly believe that seeing a rainbow will bring good luck, and I saw a full rainbow. This rainbow will bring the very best of luck to me from now on.

Father And Mother I Love You

Whenever we come home, upon seeing us at the door, ah girl will be enormously excited, yes very! jumping up and down and screaming at high pitch, that is our girl way of expressing her happiness. What matters to her is Daddy and Mummy is back, wow really wonderful, and came running to us and stretching out her small arms wanting to be carried. Children is like little angels, they do not hide feelings, they are so genuine. When there is love there is jealousy, hugging showing affection to her cousins is a No! No!, these cousins are her day time playmates and companions, but when comes to father and mother hugging and cuddling anyone but herself, it is a different story, and her big eyes will be welled up with tears, then start to yell, protesting, disapproving our action….ah girl is so adorable…
