Renovation for Our 2nd Home-To-Be

Ever since the collection of keys on 29th May, we are still busy with things for the new house... and will be... As the date to completion is drawing nearer, we are getting more busy than ever! Plus the fact that I am also preparing for Jamie's birthday party (and her scrapbooks!) 2 weeeks later, hence, every day is fill with lots of things to accomplish. My life has never been so busy before!

Ikea Shopping Spree

It's been quite a long time ago when we did a huge shopping list at Ikea... 8years ago :o This shall be the children's bed at the new house, Jamie's fav!

Godly Woman ?

This morning I went for a 4hours workshop at our church, alone. Yup, I've signed myself up for the 2years programme. Hmm, its a wise choice indeed. At the end of the session, I was feeling kind of relieved perhaps knowing that I will be recharge and refresh, hopefully will get a new understanding of my purpose and destiny in life!

Banana Bread using AMC Pot

I had a cooking session with a fren who brought along the AMC sales rep to do some demo using their pots. This time, we did banana bread, egg tarts and fry a plate of vegetable dish w/o much oil and water. Great!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

If you ask me what I'll be busy with, well, preparing Jamie's scrapbooks b4 the party on 26th July! Already have 2 albums on hand to be completed by mid July (hopefully) so that I can complete 1 more b4 the party.

The Straits Time School Pocket Money Fund

Hahha we didn't even realised what our children were performing for till tonight! CQ gave some coins to Jeremy to donate into the metal tin during intervals and received a thick booklet. So this is what it's for...."The Straits Time School Pocket Money Fund was initiated on the Children's Day (Oct 1st) in the year 2000 by The Straits Times, to heighten public awareness of the plight of children from low-income families who were attending school without proper breakfast, or pocket money to sustain their day in school. The aim is to alleviate the financial burden faced by parents in providing for their children's education. At the same time the funds will help children who are already facing difficulties in remaining in school to stay on."

Happy Birthday !

Yummy, yummy! This is what's inside the "present" .. of course he received the real present (Nike bermudas) after the cake cutting at night when we came home from Jamie's performance around 10pm.

Happy Birthday Papa!

This looks like a present? It slipped my mind to remind jjpapa to open it when he reaches office. It's his special breakfast! More to come ....

The Straits Time Charity Show Full Dress Rehearsal

Finally ! Tomorrow and Saturday will be the actual performance. This will be a very good exposure for Jamie for performing on the big stage at Hwa Chong Institute.

Maze

I have been training Jeremy with lots of maze activities during this Term 2 when he is away from school. Now he has improved alot as compared to earlier months when he couldn't even follow the paths well.

Where is God ?

Sunday Morning with Papa

Jamie has been complaining about her throat (itchy n painful) as well as being tired. I supposed it might be due to late nights bedtime esepcially this week. So I went to church with Jeremy while CQ and Jamie had some private time alone. Back home, I was presented with this card that he did... no wonder Jamie said she has a "good" time with papa!! I also was surprised that she did some homework that I've placed it casually on the table.

June School Holiday Craftworks

We did this within a day. And as expected, the leaves withered so fast so no point doing it weeks ago. Or else chances are, I will have to re-secure the leaves' corners with sticky tape again.

Zoo Visit with Eunice's Family

Thank God for the very good weather despite the heavy downpour early in the wee hours. The kids have lots of fun especially Jamie & Yutong. And all of them got a chance to ride on the horse too! This is one of the excursion that I like...cos free for Jamie (from GainIQ) and 50% off for the adults (thks to Eunice's hb!) while Jeremy who is below 3, free too!

Visit to Dentist @ Smiles

It's their yearly visit again. This time I'm so glad that Jamie sat through the checkup and had her teeth polished ! And Jeremy, brave too! (perhaps its this fun ride that he's looking fwd after the checkup?) The dentist said no need to clean or polish his teeth, checked, ok. And I've 15% off for being a Star member of Toysrus!

Happy Father's Day

Morning when to the market to get 2 stalks of flowers for papa and Dagu whose bday happened to fall on Father's Day this year. Also get Jamie to do up 2 separate cards as well.

JJpapa @ Work

Today Jeremy was coached by his papa for his usual "sch-wk", some doddling and reading.

Story Island Hand Puppet Theatre Camp

This shall be Jamie's last holiday camp this June holiday. This will run from today till Thurday, 930-130pm. A good timing since our helper is away for home leave. Hope she will learn something through this camp while I will be busy with Jeremy at home.

Holidaying @ Bintan Nirwana Gardens

This is our 3rd resorts trips since Jeremy's birth. Seems like for now, such short trips suit us best till probably another year or two when he is bigger than we may consider going further. Nirwana Gardens has better food choices vs Holiday Inn Batam. Beach is supreme for the price we are paying. However we are not so impressed with its room amenities. This time we took a late evening ferry back and by the time we reached home, its already almost 9pm! This is our ONE and ONLY family photo taken so far.

Ballet First Upcoming Performance

As usual, I stood outside the door, peeping at Jamie. Strange, there's another teacher apart from Ms Yap. And the kids were seemed to be doing some kind of performance. But I'm not so sure and was quite puzzled till we were told to meet at the office for an announcement. True enough, we were told that Jamie's class has been selected to be one of the performing groups come 4th & 5th July at Hwa Chong! What performance?? Haha, I've forgotten about it! Though it's not mandatory which some parents didn't gave the teacher their reply, I've told the teacher that Jamie will be participating as I think this will be a great opportunity for her. Thank God she's also eager and willing to try :D
