99's 62nd Birthday

We celebrated 99's 62nd birthday in August. As Da-yi, small-yi and Cousin Val were all not free on the actual day, we brought her for dinner at Imperial Treasure before getting a small cake to celebrate for her at home.

Another celebration with everyone at home on Sunday.

USS with 99

After so long, 99 decided to follow us to USS. She's always afraid of the hot sun... We din really take many photos cos we wanted to make sure we bring 99 and the kids to most of the places since this would be their last, before the annual pass expires.

Hmm... not a very good idea for her to tag along cos Caden kept wanting her to carry!

Weekly USS 2

Weekly visit no. 2 - Caden took the mini roller coaster ride for the 1st time. Brave leh! Daddy took jie-jie for the ride, twice. Then, while watching them, Caden suddenly told me he also wanted to try. So, Daddy took him, with jie-jie. Mummy was afraid that he'd cry. Who knows... he wanted to ride a 2nd time! Alicia took the ride alone when Daddy sat with Caden. She even raised her arms! Brave girl... much better than Mummy.

Weekly USS visits

Before our annual USS Fun Pass expires, we made weekly visits. This was one... ended with a visit to Vivocity for waterplay.

National Day Celebration in School

The kids celebrated National Day in school and here's their National colors outfit!

Play again at NEX

Alicia insisted that we bring her to NEX playground as she missed out on our earlier visit. So...

National Day Parade 2011

Da-yi got us 2 tickets to the NDP rehearsal and Mummy decided Alicia should go this year. The NDP was at the floating platform this year. Daddy dropped us at Marina Square and we snacked at MacDonald's before walking to the platform.

We got ourselves a good seat. Mus say that this year's performance is the best so far. We enjoyed every moment of it.

Ikea Playground

Brought the kids to Ikea Tampines. Caden refused to join Alicia & Brandon at the playground. Hence, he followed us shopping around. Wah... after one hour of play, the kids were so hungry that they ate so much!

Look at how they enjoyed their food!
It wasn't before long when we visited Ikea again and Caden was so excited over the playground. His first time!!! Daddy & Mummy shopped peacefully too.

Swimming at One Amber

Auntie Beng Hiong invited us over to her place to play with Huilin and so, we headed there for a swim! The kids enjoyed themselves very much, esp Brandon who kept playing with the float! Thanks, Auntie Beng Hiong!!!

Nex Playground

Alicia stayed over at 99's place during the Jun hols. Before we went to fetch her, we brought the boys to NEX for breakfast and water play...

They met Alicia's classmate, Isaac.

Sangokuden

We had dinner at Marmalade Pantry at Ion Orchard before heading to Takashimaya for Sangokuden's Meet & Greet.

There was a short interaction session before the characters made their appearance. My kids had always been shy to participate. But, after much pushing from us, Alicia raised her hands during one of the Q&A session. Too bad she got the answer wrong cos we're all not familiar with the show! She was so embarrased that she cried under Daddy's wrapped arms. Then, dunno where Brandon got the courage from, he also raised his hands to answer another question. Luckily, he got it rite and was given a small token. Phew!! Alicia was later hand-picked to play tic-tac-toe on the stage but she was too shy to go up. Only after the whole session did she regret cos she knew that she could do it. Too bad... However, we're happy that both Alicia & Brandon started to participate in such games.

Father's Day Celebration

Brought the kids for a haircut before celebrating Father's Day with Daddy at Swensens.
