Well Done, Zachary ... ...

Time really flies.... it seems like yesterday when I am still worrying about Zac's first step into his Pri schoool life... ...


Zac just completed his Pri 1 level & really proud of him for scoring full marks for his Chinese & achieve Best in Chinese for Pri 1 level in his school. It was indeed honoured & delightful moment to be able to attend the Prize Presentation in his school today.

Great Job, Zac!!
Mummy hope you continue to achieve greater heights :):)

Halloween 2010

The boys participated in the Halloween Carnival 2010. This was their first time. Zac & Amos was dressed as a dracula & skeleton respectively. They had lotsa fun despite the make-up & costume :):)

Zachary turned 7 ... ...

How time flies... ... My elder boy, Zac turned 7 years old yesterday (4 Oct 2010).

I cannot help thinking how much he had grown, feeling really emotional when I look at him now... My little baby whom I nursed since birth is now 7 ;~~~~)

Many days before his birthday, Zac asked for a handmade birthday card from me. Yes, that's just what he ask for, a BIRTHDAY CARD from mummy ;p

He is always by my side so I can only work on the card when he is alseep. hehe...

I chose 2 of his favourite colors which is yellow & orange for the cover & the writing sheet respectively ;p

He did not see me working on the card so he kept reminding me if I have done it days before his birthday & again a day before his birthday. hehe.

I told him I'm "busy" but actually I've completed it days before. LOL :D:D:D:D

Here is the card :



He hinted to me that he would like to have "goodie bags" for his classmates too. This was really challenging for me cos children his age don't really fancy lots of candies & lollipops. As such, I went around sourcing for useful, cute stuff 2 weeks before his birthday for his 28 classmates (excluding Zac) + 2 for his Form Teacher & Chinese Teacher. Total : 30 gifts.


The "goodie" has to be colourful, useful & not too bulky. Zac has to transport the things alone to school so it must be manageable to him too.

Finally, I decided on Disney character photo frames. They were really colourful & his classmates could make use of them & remember Zac (hopefully!! hehehe). I added 2 "Tom & Jerry" toffee & decorated it on the photo frame as though a "ribbon". I spent quite a few days to re-paste the candies cos it kept dropping down ;p


I'm really satisfied with the output & Zac loved it !! :):)

How can a birthday boy not receive any pressies?

From mummy... ...

From daddy, .....something similiar to "Wii" from Sony PS3. Zac loves it & plays even better than anyone of us :):)

Zac also received presents from his classmates, Jean, Tiara & Nikki.

We had meals at his 2 favourite restaurants. He loves Swensen & japanese food.

His ice-cream cake was from swensen. He chose mango & strawberry flavour. Zac is NOT a chocolate lover. Can you see his unhappy face upon receiving the complimentary mini Coit Tower with lotsa chocolate & nuts? Oh no...

We had Swensen Weekend Breakfast a day before his birthday.

Zac had a sumptuous lunch on his birthday. He had a share in all the below food you see. He ate more than me !! LOL :D

Thank you to all my friends & Zac's friends whom had sent in their birthday wishes for him either through sms or FB. Zac is very happy to read all the messages for him ;)

Lastly, the most memorable moment happened at night. Zac lie-down on the bed beside me & he kissed & thanked me for all the efforts & money incurred to make his birthday possible. I was shocked as I never expected it. He has never said that to me for his passed birthday. My little boy has really "matured" & his little gesture really warms my heart :):):)

Resort World Sentosa - Festive Hotel

We went to Resort World Sentosa (RWS) at the beginning of the Term 3 holidays. It was a day of gathering cos my sis got a room at Festive Hotel and the whole gang of Ng family were roaming RWS. We went there by car & reached the island at around 10.45am.

My sis's room has a luxurious king size bed, a sofa bed (see pic below which I'm seated on) that folds into a double bed and a Loft bed that caters for children. It was a perfect getaway hotel for families travelling with kids :)

The boys' were amazed by the Loft bed & climbed up & down constantly... ...

My sis's room was on the 4th floor, just a level above the pool :)



We walked around the shops... ... a lot of tempting treats for children... ...

We did not enter the Universal Studio due to the lack of time but will definitely return!

Time really passed & we did not realized we had spend half a day walking & walking... ...
The boys were tired so we left the island earlier around 6+pm than the rest of the gang & head to Vivocity for dinner. The parking fee was a killing S$21!!

We might not have been able to visit the hotel rooms & capture those great photos if not for my sis. Thanks sis, Min !! :)

Happy Teachers' Day

Teachers act as a role model for the students & inspire them to lead a peaceful & civilized life. Some teachers are remembered even after their retirement because of the extraordinary service to their instituition as well as to the students :)

Happy Teachers' Day to all the teachers out here.

Thank you so much for your dedication & guidance in nurturing the little ones :)

Special thanks to Amos' teacher : Teacher Sarina & Rachel

As well as Zac's teacher : Ms Kong & Mdm Tang

Zac's Swimming Class

Zac started his swim class 2 mths ago. He is now into his 10th lesson from Coach Desmond. I have been following him throughout his lessons & keeping closely of his progress. Consider the fact that he has zero swimming knowledge & water fright, he is making some progress now. He is able to swim a distance using float & can control his breathe in the water. Last lesson, none of the students turned up for the lesson due to the heavy rain that morning. As such, Zac got the 'private' (1-1) training. hehehe.... how fortunate !! :):)

Women's Pajamas

I believe most of the women love to look cute or sexy no matter where you are or what you are doing. Womens pajamas allow you to do just that.

Since it is women's pajamas, it definitely come in thousands of different styles that are easy to locate and hard to resist. Chill out in silk & satin sleepwear or big sleepshirt that you could just walk out the streets for breakfast without changing ;)

Buy women's pajamas is so easy. Whether you have a favorite cartoon character or just want to look dreamy & comfy, you can probably find a pair of reasonable women's pajamas that will suit you perfectly.

Slide @ Changi Airport T3

Zac went on a ride on the world's tallest slide in an airport during the last week of the June holidays. The 4 storey slide is located at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 Arrival Hall (level 1). Zac just reach the min height requirement for the 12 m slide. Participants have to be 1.3m-2m to whiz down. For every $30 spent in a single receipt will entitle you to 2 tokens. We spent $60+ that day so he enjoyed the twist & turn 4 times :):):) It was really addictive & Zac could have just played non-stop ... ...

There is another smaller version which does not require min spend. Participants have to be 1.1-1.2m to play though. Amos met the height mark, however, he was afraid!! ;p

Cookie Decorating Activity @ Ikea

I brought the boys to Ikea yesterday. Coincidentally, there was a Cookie Decorating Activity going on. I signed up for them immediately for the 5pm slot. The timing was just right for them to catch a light snack after their SMALAND fun which ended at 4.30pm :)

This was the first time the boys had hands on doing such icing design in public... ...
Amos was seen biting off a portion of his cookie immediately after he sat down (see pic below). The in-charge heard that he was hungry (obviously the light snack was "too light" for him!!) & was so thoughful to pass an extra piece for him to eat LOL :D:D

Amos is the youngest among the group. The assistant came over to help him after seeing him squeezing a valley of icing on the cookie.... haha :D:D

As you can see, their designs were really "fantastic"!!!!! hehe ;p
Amos icing took a long time to dry up bcos of the enormous pool of icing... ...
They had their own creation for supper. YUM YUM :) ~~~~~~
