Birthday party

One of my classmates invited a few of us to celebrate her first double-digit birthday. We had a lot of fun, playing games and making a terrarium. 

I can't believe that I'm going to be 10 years old soon. Can't wait for my own birthday! Maybe I should hint really loudly to Daddy and Mummy that I really wish we could have a fun party, haha.

Easter vigil

Mummy and I spent the evening in church for Easter Vigil. I know it's supposed to be a holy and blessed occasion, so I better not say too loud that the best part for me was only the candles :) 

Hee!

Mummy and I are quite mischievous when Daddy can't join us for dinner, as we make it a point to explore places that he doesn't like to go. Today we picked Kenny Rogers - what's not to love about mac&cheese, corn on the cob and corn muffins :)

Highlight of the week

Daddy suddenly surprised us by booking a staycation for tonight! He called Mummy in the afternoon and asked her to pack our things. I jumped with joy when I heard - We are staying in a hotel at Sentosa, and are going to have a great day of fun at Adventure Cove tomorrow!

We were given a ground-floor room in the hotel, with an awesome view of the peacocks. I have never seen one so close up with its tail spread out - it must indeed be my lucky day, haha!

School is out

It's the start of the March school holidays! I'm so happy that there is no school and no homework for a week. 

Mummy has been working really hard the past few weeks, and I'm glad that she took leave this week to spend time with me. Today, Mummy brought me out to meet Ashley for a buffet lunch and to watch a movie. This is the only photo that we took of today's outing, when we stopped for a short while outside the arcade. I'm looking forward to a few more fun days ahead!

Foodie

I'm sure that I've inherited my sweet tooth from Mummy. Mummy will probably also turn me into a foodie (of junk and snacks)!

Mummy knew that this super-large chocolate chip cookie from Pizza Hut would make me grin like crazy: 

Mummy also knows that bringing me to Sakae Sushi would please me greatly too. I love the fried tofu while Mummy likes the chawanmushi, We often take the opportunity to eat at Sakae when Daddy is busy and can't have dinner with us. Like tonight ;)

And today, we discovered yet one more reason to eat at Sakae. It was fascinating when I found out that molten chocolate hardens into a shell when I dipped the ice cream into the pot. And when the melted ice cream is heated in the pot, it becomes nice and crunchy and super sweet. Mummy and I definitely stuffed ourselves tonight, burrrp!

Random doodling

I drew this when I was bored one afternoon. Nice, right? 

Memorable bits of CNY 2016

Chinese New Year is my most favourite festival and public holiday. I get to eat as many snacks as I want. I get to play with my cousins and my uncles and aunties. I also get many angbaos that Daddy and Mummy says I can save up to use when I am old.

This year, some of my most favourite parts of Chinese New Year are: 

1. The cute little Frozen Fever soft toy that Mei Mei gave me:

 

2. Playing monopoly with my family:

3. Playing with and cuddling the cute little doggie who belongs to one of Mummy's distant cousins. Mummy hasn't seen this set of cousins for many many years, and it is also my first time visiting Lao Ma's youngest sister during Chinese New Year.  

I can't wait for Chinese New Year to come again next year!

Helping out

Daddy, Mummy and I recently started volunteering with a group that provides lunch on Saturday for elderly persons living in the rental flats near our house. We also give some groceries to them, as well as deliver the groceries to the homes of those who are unable to join us for lunch. Mei Mei Shannon joined us today, and the two of us happily handed out items to the uncles and aunties.  

Buffet at last

I have been wanting to eat at a buffet for the longest time, but Daddy and Mummy say that it's not worthwhile to bring me as I eat like a bird. But I got lucky this evening! Mummy had a one-for-one buffet offer that would expire at the end of this month. So when Daddy said that he had to work late, Mummy and I grinned at each other and we jumped with joy into the car and drove to the buffet place. The first thing I did was to head to the dessert counter and drool over the amazing range of marshmallows, gummy sweets and ice cream. I was certainly in dessert heaven! As part of the deal, I had promised Mummy I would eat some proper food first, so here I am, all eager.
