CMA Abacus

Since Jamie has started twice weekly at CMA, she has made good progress and is enjoying learning at the center. Just last Friday, she was presented this laminated A4 birthday card from Kelly jie-jie !

Scrapbooking Project - Fund Raising for Charmaine

Below are two simple 12"x12" layouts a wonderful mummy had done up within a very short notice for Jamie's party 100% of the proceeds went to support Charmaine for her hefty cancer treatment.

Birthday Party @ Home

This is our 1st official party at our new house.... click here to view Jamie's 6th birthday party photos.

Now is the time.....

Cannot believe next Monday I will be joining hundreds of thousands of parents to queue up for Primary 1 registration!!! Mixed feeling.... our Jamie has grown up! She is about to go to the so-called "Big Kor Kor-Big Jie Jie" school! Quite relunctant to let her go though I know its part of life. Kids will leave us one day, sooner or later. I tell myself, I juz have to learn to let go and cherish her more each day.

Our Missy

Did a 3hrs+ kit for Jamie yday wif a fren who came along to my place. Scrapztudio offered to give us so-called free coaching but I find it not very educational as she herself is not expert in coaching as what I feel. Nevertheless, based on my past experiences wif such coaching, I managed to do up the front/back w the pages inside (no photos yet) , utilising as much of her tools as possible so that I can complete the insides pages wif minimal stress (hopefully)!

Blessed Birthday Papa!

Every year this time, while billions of Americans are toasting beers w cheers to celebration Independence Day, we will celebrate triple Js papa's BIG day! So today is also not an exception. Will be simple wif dinner over at in laws place wif cake cutting and a little gift too. Most importantly I pray that jjjpapa will have a good headstart in his spiritual walk wif God as we journey our 2years of IDT at our church together. As what the speaker had said last night, having a good headstart is not enough, we should have the ending in mind right from the beginning! We gotta to press on and to finish the race in order to pass on our legacy to our next generation, Amen!

Baby J's @ 34weeks

#3 is now weighing at 2.1kg. Average, 50 percentile as expected. Gynae said #3 will be somewhat between Jamie and Jeremy's weight. That's between 2.7-3.1kg. That's fine as long as he is born healthy wif no jaundice, birth defects or whatsoever complications. Effectively, I am counting down 5 weeks from today ! And judging from the ultrascan pix, I thought he resembles Jamie who has very chubby cheeks when she was born!

School Re-Opens

Finally holiday is OVER!!! Now I can understand why couples wif preschoolers cheers whenever school holiday ends! Today both kids are excited to get back to school after a whole month of play, rest, excursions and fun! Of course, I am the happiest one of all, ahahhahahaa!!

Jamie & I

This is one of our family studio photos taken about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully can do up a nice scrapbook too :)

Bottle Tree Excursion

The children had alot of fun during this excursion especially when they were so engrossed in catching those "long-kang" fish for almost an hour plus!!

What I'm busy wif??

Well, one of things that I am targetting to accomplish before Baby J arrival in early August is clearing off preowned stuff in the storeroom!! Since last weekends, I've already sold off some to nice buyers and hopefully can de-clutter the storeroom a little bit more :)

Happy Father's Day

Got the kids to do up simple finger ink printing cards w their personal note behind for their daddy while I dev a recent family photot taken at home to frame it up in a small desktop photo frame for their papa. Papa has been working very hard for years I thank God for his faithfulness and delication to this family. Thank you CQ!

Fort Siloso Beach @ Rasa Sentosa

Had a planned trip w Eunice this morning for an excursion to the beach. Thank God for the good weather though it got hotter as it approached noon time. But the kids surely had a great time playing under the sun, especially Jeremy!! We then adjourned to Vivo after 2 hours of beach fun, washing up & rested at Rasa Sentosa. And my initial plan of bringing the children to their grandparents' place gotta cancelled when Jamie started to complain of fatigue & wanted to rest at home instead. As for Jeremy, he was obviously too worn out and dozed off even b4 we got up a cab!

Sleepy Beauty

It's Jamie's 1st time away from home to attend a full day complimentary art workshop (930-530pm) at Kinderart (Maxwell studio). She took home a huge canvas painting of Claude Monet, autumn effect at Argenteull 1873, which, ideally, to be display at our place, somewhere... Looking at the amount of effort she had put in, no wonder she's so exhausted after a long day of fun and slept on the sofa while I was preparing dinner.

Home Studio

Cannot remember when was the last time we took a decent family photo. So I told CQ to ask one of his photography khakis to help us out. And so we had an about 1hr+ of home studio last Saturday mid afternoon. Am sorting out some photos and hopefully can do up a nice family scrapbook & my preggie mini album too!

Tao Shu, The Award Winning Bilingual Series!

A fren rang me up last week to introduce me a series of Tao Shu chinese reader books. I've seen this from national TV so I knew what's she's talking about. But to get another series of books to squeeze onto the kids' already fully packed bookshelves, I've to be very careful in my selection of new books. But for now, click here for the details. It's definitely a good investment to start your kids in early literacy!

Happy Birthday Granny

This was taken in the lift while on our way to Ah Po's hse to celebration her bday. Jamie did a simple bday card for her granny too !

Mini Scrapbook II

Did this couple of days ago when our helper finally arrived on Monday nite! Am hoping to complete at least 3 more kits b4 lil junior arrives in early August.

More Challenges Ahead ??
