mad science party

we have another combine birthday party for the 2008 august babies again. this round we engage mad science to do some simple experiments for the kids. it was decided quite last minute, glad that we still can make it happen within a month or less planning. thanks to all mommies who contributed in their small ways to make this happen.

as they grow older, its not easy to gather the kids to do such party. everyone had their own activities on weekends. hope this can last for many years. thought kids are not super familiar with each other but they do have fun.

thank you mad science too to make this party an enjoyable one for them.

no birthday celebration

poor yu xi has no birthday celebration in school tomorrow. yu ze is suspected of hfmd and so we are grounded. we have already order the cake, will get darling to pick up and send to school for the kids to eat. we can't finished a 2kg on our own for sure.

 

either she knows her birthday is tomorrow or just coincident, she takes out a toy and start singing happy birthday to herself. my heart breaks to see her like that. so poor thing loh.

barney?

yu xi's birthday is coming soon. i know she likes barney but mommy here don't like. i give instructions to everyone who will possibly get her a birthday present not to buy barney for her.

 

am i being unfair and evil to her? yu ze gets to get his favourite thomas but i'm not giving yu xi her favourite barney. she already needs her tutu, 2 bolsters with blue Winnie the pooh design only and a barney DVD to sleep. do i seriously and really want to get her barney to add on to her bedtime need?

 

i'm still not very convinced to get her a barney though it will be her best and favourite present. well, i shall think about it again since i still have a bit of time.

great to be 1

my baobei is no longer a baby liao. he is 1 year old today. lucky i was discharge and was able to have a mini celebration with him. just the 3 of us as a little family. we fetch him from babysitter and bought him a super mini cake for him to eat himself.

well, at 1 year old he still refuse to walk. don't want us to hold him to walk too. when we try to hold him to walk, he will sit down and crawl away. very talkative now, keep talking non stop. some words are quite clear but its not consistent so i guess he still don't really know them. new words coming out from him are open, bah bah, oh no, oh mao, ai jiak, there, stars.... finally able to drink from straw. no longer needs the bath tub to bathe. his new bathing method is to stand and hold against the wall, like those criminal being caught by police for body search kind and use shower head directly on him. its quite cute to bathe him like that.

oh yes, another important thing. he is finally able to feed himself some finger food. but its still not a mastered skill yet cos he still don't always did it correctly. he is sort of toilet trained at babysitter's place but not at home yet. he is able to tell babysitter that he wants to poo and babysitter will bring him to toilet to poo. but we are still not able to catch this at home.

happy birthday, yu ze. mummy and daddy love you.

1st birthday

presents

i organised a little mini birthday party for yu ze. only my parents, fil, close colleagues and friends are invited. my house is small so can't house too many people too. with about 27 adults, 8 children and 5 babies, my house is packed with limited walking space liao. 

 

we had our buffet ordered from water-rise. most guest commented the food is nice and better than neo garden. the food is almost all wiped out. i only have curry chicken left behind. the decoration and set up by them is very pro and pretty. i also ordered some balloon since there are children and babies around.

i would say overall, the party is a success, everyone is very happy. nice meeting up with close friends and chit chatting. of course without alll these lovely guests, my party will never be complete. thank you all for coming and also your nice gifts. more photos will be updated as i haven't got them from my friend who is also the photographer of the party.

poor darling

today is my darling's birthday and i went to moe for interview. he fetch me from moe after work and waited for me at their cafe while i was being interviewed. after that, we went to get movie tickets before heading home. 

 

the moment we step in, my darling transform into our little maid and started cleaning up the house, sweeping, mopping and washing the bathrooms while i just sit and surf the net. hhehehe..... it was already 5.30pm when he is done with the cleaning. by the time we bathe and get ready to leave for dinner and movie, its already 6pm. so we decided to have some small bites, go for movie (show at 7pm) then dinner at uno after the show. 

 

so we only had dinner at about 9+pm, by then my poor darling is already starving. at least, we had very nice steak at uno which ended our little celebration for him. :)

 

he is very poor thing right? its his birthday today, yet he had to do all the cleaning without any grumble.
