Ballet pre-examination week

I blogged about Jo1's Ballet pre-examination week last year, and this year's falls on 18 Oct. This year more mommies turned up with their camera, so lots of flashes when they started to dance. Her partner for this year is Aerin. Only two of them and the examiner will be in the studio during exam, teachers not allowed.

Horse ride


This is a back dated post.

My kids had their first horse ride experience at their friends' - WeiYee's b'day party. Jo1 let Jo2 go first, and they enjoyed the ride so much that they went for 3 rounds altogether. Even though they served buffet party, but my kids juz ate very little b'coz they wanted to queue up for the rides again. This horse is 19 yrs old, and he is 350 kg, so me and kids can actually ride it together but I was too shy.

Birthday song (Monkey version)

This is a birthday song that Jo1 composed specially for her didi (born in the year of Monkey)

Happy birthday to you,
You are born in the zoo,
You look like monkey,
and you smell like one too!!!

I supposed Jo2 will get angry, but he didn't. After all it's HIS b'day what.....
Anyway, he is really happy with all the pressies and ang pows he got. (TQ all for remembering even though he don't have a real b'day party)

Happy 4th B'day


My Jo2 has turned 4!!!
Time really flies. This year I let him celebrate his b'day @ school again. Since he prefer to share this happy moment with his teachers and friends.
So, let me start with a week b4 his b'day. First, he requested a Ben10 toy, and he got it (b'coz he is papa's only son what....). Few days later, when we went out to buy present for my nephew... ...again he choose a Ben10 toy for his cousin and exactly a same one for himself. At the toy shop, he promised that this will be his last Ben10 toy. So, I trusted his word.
Now, come to the night b4 his b'day. He was really happy, I guess I told him too soon. First, in school he told all his friends that they must come to school tomorrow, if not they will miss his b'day party. Then, he told his teacher that they must wear nice clothes and also help him to cut the cake. He had sleepless night... ...he kept telling me that he can't wait for too long (he meant he can't wait until tomorrow to come) Then, he asked for another Ben10 toy with the clause that IF MY OLD BEN10 TOY HAS BROKEN!!

He has really grown up!!!

Look at his happy face.


A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY...to my one and only one Josh.
