New Year Eve Countdown

Times flies real fast...its gonna be 2009 soon.

Mummy organised a dinner session with her best kakis today.
We had dinner at a Hanabi Japanese Restaurant.


Say Cheez!


Oh no...Aunty Jo nagging at me again!


Mummy's best pals...


Mummy & me...

Daddy was there too, but he's too busy gobbling up the food and taking photos.
Its ala-carte buffet, that's why we gotto quickly order the food.

After that we head to Aunty Jo's house. I didn't get to join in the count-down as i was too tired.
Mummy showered and tapped me to sleep by 10.30pm, while the adults have their fun at the living room.

Seems like alot of ppl pen-ning down their thoughts for the 2008. Mummy also wanna say something.
This is her Message to me:
"Dear Lucas,
Life just wasn't the same after you arrived.
Mummy & Daddy used to sleep & wake up late on weekends, but right after you arrived, everything changed.
We gotto sleep early and wake up once you called us. It wasn't easy for the 1st 6 months as you kept waking up 2-3 times each night.
Mummy almost wanna give up nursing you, but still persevere till you are 15 months.

You are delivered thru C-section as Dr Ben Neo say you are in a extended breech position. I was quite disappointed initially, as i felt jealous that i won't be the 1st person to see you.
Luckily Daddy took videos of your 1st few moments without me.
As Mummy was too anxious to see you, i woke up pretty quickly after the operation.
I remembered staring at you helplessly when the nurse put you beside me. I was simply too weak to get up to carry you till Daddy assist me. Daddy really amazed me at being able to handle/carry you when you were still such a tiny little boy.
You were really cute with big eyes! Thanks to Daddy's gene. Hahaha...

We never regretted having you around...you are indeed a bringer of light and joy to us!
This year you will be turning 2, i hope you will grow stronger, healthier, brighter and sweeter.
Love you lots my dear baby!

Lotsa love,
Mummy"

A relaxing Sunday @ Home

We stayed at home today.
My parents feeling kinda tired after all the X'mas planning, hence decided to have a good rest at home.

Mummy gave me my daily dosage of fruits.
Its my favorite strawberry!

We had Fried Chicken Wings for Tea!!


Was it nice...Hmmm....just see my expressions below :





Its FINGER-LICKING GOOD!!!!

The Chicken Wings were fabulous.
With encouragement from Daddy, Mummy's in the mood of making more nice dishes!

See what she made for dinner:



Omu Rice !! Tomato fried rice wrapped in Omelete...
Daddy say its something special, the taste is ok, but could be better if she put more tomato sauce.

Trial classes at Little Neuro Tree

Mummy brought me to a Trial Class at Little Neuro Tree.
I had to attend 3 lessons altogether (1 session each for English, Chinese and Japanese).
Today, i had finally completed the trials...

The 1st Lesson was in Japanese:
I simply had no clue what was going on until the lesson was about to end.
The Japanese teacher's name is Yumi. At the beginning, she will flash us some cards and sing at the same time. After which we gets our hands on some activities, eg, pouring beads into a cup, popping some soft furry balls into a cup, arranging some puzzles and pasting numbers to the correct items.
At times, she will flash us 1 card for 1-2 sec, then take 2 cards out and ask us to point to the card which she had just flashed! I got it right most of the time.
Though the songs were in Japanese, i did catch some of its meaning! Eg. Daisuki means Love.
Yumi Sensei say i was a good boy and was quite surprised that i could sit still and pay attention thru out the lesson.

The 2nd Lesson was in English.
I start to understand whats going on and when the teacher ask me to "high 5" i will respond.
The songs, cards and activities are quite similar to what its shown in the Japanese lesson. However this time i get to paste some stickers on a christmas stocking.




I love the Christmas Tree!


My pretty English Teacher!

My 3rd and final lesson is in Chinese.
Mummy kept forgetting its Chinese class and kept speaking English to me
The lesson is similar to the last 2 lessons, however its conducted in Chinese.
I am much more active and familiar with the sequences and could follow the instructions given. This time, we get to paste a small plastic bag at the back of the christmas stocking and also hang it up at the "fireplace" poster. My Chinese teacher then quickly slot in a small toy and told us to bring down the stockings.
I got a little Elephant toy.




Mummy hung my art piece on our X'mas tree!!


Me at my class...


My cute chinese teacher...


Look who's that...my pretty English teacher!


Yeah...i got a balloon from her


Playing around the center...

The lessons are fun...but mummy still considering whether to sign me up for 1 term as the fees are quite expensive!
