No Progress...

Ever since the caterpillar has wrapped itself into a leaf liked shaped few days ago, it has yet to emerge out into a beautiful butterfly. Haiz.... the wait is long....

Congratulations!!

A fren of mine just SMSed me this afternoon informing that she has just given birth last night. That's reminded me that I have less than 20weeks to my final countdown.... gee.....

Seeing is believing

Seeing how the tiny little caterpillar transformed has really set my eyes "opened"

This is supposingly the 2nd last stage before it transforms into a beautiful butterfly.

Changing Color

Early this morning, we were astonished to found out that the caterpillar has changed its color into green and it has increases its size too ! I was like "WOW!!!" Very beautiful indeed !!!

Jamie BBQ Bday Party

Today is the intended birthday party that I have been planning since weeks ago. Was afraid that we might not have enough food for the 21 invited guest + 6 kids. Thank God it was more than sufficient!! Also thank God for the wonderful weather in the evening after some rain during the day. I have specially ordered an Elmo cake for Jamie since it was Barney during her 1st bday. It was a kind of relaxed and casual party and thanks to my 2 wonderful sisters & brothers-in-law for their great help during the party while we were able to mingle around with our relatives and friends. The party finally ended around 10pm. Oh boy! We were so exhausted!! I'm sure Jamie was too as she fell almost into deep sleep barely in less than a minute :D

I love this pix but a pity its not taken sharply

Caterpillar @ 2 weeks Old

Honestly speaking, the caterpilla looks more awful as it grows bigger. I begin to feel "yucks!" instead of "wow!"

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jamie

Here's how we celebrated Jamie's birthday as a family at Swensen restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised to received a free firehouse ice cream after knowing that we are buying a slice of ice cream cake to celebrate for Jamie after dinning there. Jamie was very thrilled to see the "fire" on the candle on both the ice cream and the firehouse ice cream (pix nt taken)! It was tough getting her a birthday present ... but we managed to settle for the mini book fun & play electronic toy.

There'll be another bigger celebration affair for Jamie at my sis house. She will probably be excited to see her favourite Elmo cake and number "2" candle on it!!

Magazine Cover

I have been going to bed into the wee hours since days ago. Been working hard even during the day when Jamie naps where I can have a good short rest instead. This is a last min project. I'm trying to build a photo album/s of Jamie from birth. Someone says that stress do push a person's to work triple harder. I can't disagree further....

Since we have not been developing all the digital photos of her since 1 1/2year ago, it took me painstaking effort to sort, edit and design. That's explain why I'm beginning to feel the lack of sleep + deeper dark eye circle :( But after seeing all my artworks, its truly worth it and I'm sure Jamie will appreciate what her mom has done for her when she grows up. Guess how many photos I have sorted out to develop ?

Almost 450!!! (entire album will have more than 650 photos in all) And this still exclude our recent overseas trip to Perth ! It's way too much and I don't think I can handle...

Synthetic Supplements ??

Can someone pls enlighten me if it's good to consume those over the counters supplements that we can find it easily at any retail outlets ?

Well, I was shocked to know that most of these supplements are generally synthetic processed and are bad for our health! Meaning, we are putting up some degree of stress on our dear liver to work on the supplements. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So now, I'm exploring into consuming "organically grown supplements" instead. Mmm... getting more health conscious or freaking KS huh ??

1 Week Old

Look how big our caterpillar has grown into!! I am so excited to see its development and really looking forward to see it changing into a beautiful butterfly.

Art & Craft

It's time to let Jamie exercise her creativity juice and so I bought a small trial painting set to start the ball rolling. She was full of curiousity and yet excited to touch and feel the paint. Luckily she was able to listen and follow through the 10-15mins painting exercise. Surely she'll be looking forward for the next painting session!

Vanity @ Work

We have noticed that Jamie has grown to be more vain especially the inclination to doll up herself! Having said so, I also love to buy all sorts of hairclips. And this hairband has just added into the piles of Jamie's vanity collection. One of the things that she likes to do is to "admiring" herself in front of the mirror. And everytime when she runs towards our wardrobe, I will have to go after her since she is incapable to open the full length door (where the mirror is). So becos of that, I will be getting a children sized dressing table to be placed in her bedroom.

Exactly 1 year ago....

As I was looking through Jamie's past photos (to develp out onto hardcopies), I found this pix rather cute! She's such a baby! Gee.. how fast time has passed !!!

Powerpuff Girl

Got this from Sue too! Thinking for Jamie to play during the party... but couldn't resist trying it now. Wow!!! It's spinning!

Goodie Bags

It was so sweet of my fren to deliver Jamie's party goodies bags to my doorstep (thanks to her hubby too!) this afternoon. Great price! Thanks Sue! These are part of the stuff to be added in the goodies bags....

My New Drinking Bottle

We finally bought a new bottle for Jamie after using the old one for months. Jamie was given the "privilege" to choose her favourite cartoon character. And with much hesitation to choose between Winnie the Pooh & Elmo, she finally settled for the first one.

Something New......

Was heading to in laws house after doing some marketing at NTUC.. and I bumped into a neigbour and her 4 children along the corridor. I was pretty curious at their intense staring into a pot of plant. So being KS and out of courtesy, I greeted the mother. She was telling me her successful story of rearing caterpillas and how excited her children are when it turn into a beautiful butterfly. The mother was very proud and so excited that she kept asking me to keep a tiny weeny caterpilla to try it out myself!! With much obligation, I accept the "pet" ... Hopefully Jamie will be able to witness the lifecycle of the butterfly soon. Caterpilla @ 1 day old. It has at leasat double its size just barely 1 day before !!

1st Self Made Book for Jamie

I was inspired by a fren who shared with me her idea of self making books for her son. She has completed 14 books so far !! :O So, without delay, I immediately searched for nice cliparts from the internet and in the end, I managed to downloaded quite alot. I have 4 books in all to make. Sports, clothing, musical instruments and animals. This Book of Clothing has 16 items altogether. Like jacket, swimming costume, shorts, panty, hat, gloves etc... Not bad huh??

one completed!! left 3 more to go....

Who do I resemble more ??

papa ? or ... mama ?
