Flying off in a few hrs time...

I can see cobwebs forming in my blog...tried to update about my Port Dickson trip in August but the uploading of the photos was so cock-up tat I gave up. Almost wanted to close this blog as really had no motivation to carry on...so shall see how it goes...

Anyway, back to the topic, our family of 4 are flying off to Japan in another 8 hrs' time. This is the 1st flight for Andre and 2nd one for Amadeus. Hope they will slept thru'out the flight and I can enjoy some peaceful time.

We will be staying in 2 different hotels and 1 ryokan (Jap-style hotel) for this 8 days trip. This is the 1st time that I spent alot of time researching, planning and coming up with the itinerery. And finally finalises everything at the eleventh hour.

But alas the 2 lil boys and myself are down with cold at the moment. Hope it won't get worse and that we will still be able to enjoy this trip :)

Looking forward to our short weekend getaway...

I didn't wanna waste the long holiday for National Day so decided to book a resort stay without consulting hubby. I only told him after the room was confirmed...this way, he can't say no...hee hee...

The room tat we will be staying is rather special as it is above the sea....look at the picture below...will blog more after our trip.

Amadeus is 3 years old!!!

Times flies. It seems like only yesterday tat Amadeus was still a baby. Now, he is an active & bubbly lil boy. 

Initially wanna celebrated his b'day in school but his teacher told me tat it is not allowed as they already had a joint celebration so I decided to hold a mini party for him at home to make him happy. He had been looking forward to his b'day so tat he can eat his 'Barney' cake. But fickle him decided to change his cake last min when he saw sesame street characters cake at Pine Garden. 

I invited only immediate family members and 2 of my close friends to join in as it was on a Thursday. I was glad tat I held this party for him as he was really excited and happy upon seeing his cousins and friend. He had fun singing his b'day song, cutting his cake and eating his agar agar. Even when the party ended, he was still very high and kept singing b'day song to himself and dancing away. 

He was also very happy to receive his presents and liked all of them :) Really appreciate all my family members n frens for coming on a weekday nite and making it such a special day for my lil darling.

Ordered QiJi catering: DIY Mee Siam, Nasi Lemak and DIY Popiah...

All the lil frens tat were here...

As Ian's b'day was a week away, his mom made a home-made cake for him to blow as well...

Amadeus was so happy to receive all the wonderful pressies....

Thanks to all for the pressies & angbaos...

Joint B'day Celebration in School (Dated 18th June 2010)

Monthly, Carpe Diem will hold b'day celebration for all the kids tat are born in tat mth and will invite the parents to join in their celebration. We are free to make any contributions like cakes, goodies bags etc. Every class will perform an item and the celebration will last slightly more than 2 hrs. Imagine the class teachers having to tink of a performance to be put up 12 times a yr!

For June's celebration, I contributed a 'Big Bird' agar agar tat was chosen by Amadeus. As he was sick and had been absent from school for days, he clinged on to me like glue when I brought him to sch tat day. He refused to go up to the 'stage' and needed me to go up wif him to be wif the other b'day kids to sing b'day song and cut his cake. I needed to sit wif him thru'out the performaces and I cannot left his sight, ifnot, he would broke out in tears.

I stayed wif Amadeus till he finished his lunch and we left the sch since he doesn't want to stay there.

Amadeus' teachers putting the final touches to the decoration...

All the b'day kids will go up and introduce themselves except for Amadeus who refused to go thru the notion...

I managed to sneak to the side when Amadeus was not looking but he cried badly when he discovered I'm not behind him... 

I was pacifying Amadeus and trying to get him to blow his candle when suddenly, the boy besides him leaned over and blew it off on his behalf...

Each b'day child got to cut a side of the cake...

Amadeus received his present from his teacher....

Performances from the different classes...

Look at the size of Amadeus' class (N1)...They were being split into 3 grps now for their class...

The kids waiting for their lunch to be served after their bathe...

Andre's B'day Bash on 8th May 2010

I was really fed-up in uploading the photos because they are in high resolution and I had already wasted more than 1 day to upload them. But something happened and all the photos are gone and tried a few times to re-load but everytime I re-do, something will go wrong. So I'm not going to waste more time to upload. Those who knows me will be able to view the photos from facebook.

We celebrated Andre's birthday on 8th May at the Children's Playroom located at The Grassroots' Club.  So glad that many of our relatives and friends were able to join us on tat day. Appreciate their attendance as  the next day is Mother's Day. We had a good time and we hoped our guests had an enjoyable time spent wif us too :)

Thanks to all our relatives & friends who showered Andre wif ang pows and pressies :)
