Daddy's fishing trip

mummy has been too busy to update... so, here's a quick upload of daddy's most recent fishing trip.

will be updating about the girls soon... erm, soon, i hope =P

Mummy and 姨姨's virgin run ^_^

Yes, our virgin run... we went for the GE 5 km fun run... =) *proud* didn't thought mummy could complete the 5 km... had early thought i was going to drop half way and wait for the medics to pick me up! Whahahah...

Managed a couple of shots before the run started...


the half-awake us...

Us and our 'lucky' numbers... 姨姨 spotted her number reflects her bday, in jumbled sequence, 1/7/85.

we didn't managed to take any pics @ the finishing point, since our barangs were at the baggage service. So *shrug* make do with this ^_^

Yeah!!


the way to the starting point... (after the event! hahaha) when we were walking over to MS...

MS @ 9 am... is a dead town...


姨姨 was so amazed by this antique set of furniture on display and the 'mahjong' lamp...

a closer look at the 'mahjong' lamp...

Went for our breakfast... guess? BK breakfast! Whahaha... so much for trying to be healthy... had a long chat, about everything and anything under the sun... feels good to sit down and have such chats with peeps close to heart. that's sthg $ cannot buy...

Dav obediently sits and watches TV...

Daddy with one of his closer sec sch mate... guess what were they talking abt? work, on a Saturday afternoon... ^___^"

Dorielle in gong-gong house in the evening...
Training her to sit, but she's still wobbles and topples over...
so someone has to sit by her,
else she'd just topple and knock her head somewhere...

In fact, earlier today, Dorielle had her first... first fall off our our bed. We just left her to grab her diaper after her shower, with Davina looking at her, she did a couple of flips and fell off our bed! What a 'first'...

Davina's broken tooth

28 October 2009

Davina had a fall in her childcare. Apparently the children were playing and running, and a kid pushed Davina so hard that she fell, hit a cupboard and chipped her tooth.

Accidents bound to happen when there are a lot of kids... but we also understood from the teachers that the kid who pushed Dav had been a lil violent lately, possibly b'cos her mummy had just given birth. Jealousy... so we're constantly reminding ourselves to look out for jealousy between Dav and Dorielle. FYI, Dav gets jealous, she will verbalise or at least do /say sthg to get our attention. You'd be surprised, Dorielle gets jealous too! just that she can't verbalise in words, so sh screams! OMG~!

still as cheeky though she will periodically complains of pain

finally managed to capture her broken tooth...

side-track...

talking about Davina's weird sleeping poses?
We've found another one, another weirdo...
daddy calls this the 'tortoise' sleeping pose *shrug*

Updates overload...

Now a bit more steady in the stroller... Am i cute?

Still remembered we bought this OP spaghetti dress from phuket!

Sunday, 18 October 2009
Cos 公公 & 嬷嬷 went for tour in Fuzhou, China, we didn't go back to Hougang & hence mummy had the luxury of time to bring Davina to church for the 1st time!


Davina's 1st time to church @ New Creation & partaking her 1st holy communion!

On our way, in the train...

Feeding Dorielle with mashed potato from KFC...
food, of any kind, simply gets her excited...

A satisfied little one... ^_^

Daddy's latest love... his designed and made fishing rod, with his nick

Davina's art piece for Teacher's Day...

Hahaha... another weird sleeping pose... she never fails to amuse us with her sleeping poses, since young...

Saturday, 3 October 2009

Eeewww... whole mouth full of ice-cream... little treat on a hot day...

almost giving up asking Dav to smile... *frownz*

Sitting up in the stroller... though not very steady yet...
Dorielle's more photogenic than Dav, don't you agree?

Dorielle holding milk bottle on her own...

Now this clever little thing can 'play' with her milk bottle...

Happy Childrens' Day

Officially Davina 'celebrates' Children's Day cos... her childcare is close... duhz...
Mummy brought her out to meet Daddy for lunch @ TPG BK.. den we went to MS...


Our little vainpot who wants to tie her hair, after the teachers done it once for her in childcare

Now she knows how to pose for pictures...

We went to visit mummy's godmum... and to 'deliver' mooncakes... have always like the pics of grands - grandparent with grandchildren

god-grandma with Dorielle...

This jie jie is one of mummy's fav nieces - Zhang Ying

Misc pics of our growing mischievous Dorielle...

Mummy's bestie back from Perth... 21 Sept 09

Trina is pretty much regarded as family... ^_^
much loved by all

Mummy's bestie, Trina... Our sexy doctor in Perth...

the girls...

Pls dont ask why the stickers are on Dav... she refused to let us tear it off!

Liquor chocolates from Perth

Misc...

27 yrs down with perfect eyesight... now mummy needs to wear glass! Darn... And of all colours for the frame, white looks best. So reminds us of Uncle Ben and his signature white glasses!

Big monkey & small monkey... hahaha...
yeah, your eyes ain't playing tricks, they are wearing identical PJs...

talk about weird sleeping poses... how about this?

one of Dav's playground time after breakfast...

whilst the jie-jie is enjoying herself,
poor Dorielle is perspiring in the baby sling =(

Davina's lunar 7th mths' encounters

hmmm... the lack of time to update blog has resulted in us using the pics to recollect events... *test of memory skills* dotx... ^___^"

teacher feedback that Davina has been isolating herself over the past 1 - 2 weeks... we're not sure why too... our guess, jealousy... But then again, her tantrums started after she 'saw things' across our master bedroom last Wed... if you do a quick recollection, we mentioned Dav saw "things" during lunar 7th mth?

1st yr was @ the lift lobby of the Yishun block where we used to stay. She saw a white figure go past, she didnt cry but just kept staring at "it". That night, she cried so badly it was not easy that we finally settled her down to sleep & daddy then told mummy abt the "white figure".

2nd yr was @ the bus stop near 公公's house, mummy was bringing Dav home after visiting ... and Dav kept telling mummy there is someone at the bus stop when there was only the 2 of us! *faintz*

Yup, this time, unfortunately she saw again, opposite our hse. Dav returned home from nanny's place and we were settling her and Dorielle for their bedtime. Out of habit, Dav looked out of the window @ the playground downstairs. And it was when we told her not to look at the playground already, it's time for bed... that she claimed to have seen sthg across our block. Daddy told her there was nothing. After a while she got pacified and went to bed. however, later that weekend, daddy went to 嬷嬷 and told 嬷嬷 all about it. Yes, and that was also when mummy knew about it. Dotx...

So of all superstitions, 嬷嬷 decided to bring her to the temple to pray... no matter what or how things are done, we all believed eneryone just wanted the best for our girls, according to our different religions... so we let Dav went along with whatever 嬷嬷 said...


in the morning whilst waiting for 公公 & 嬷嬷 to pick us up

Under the scorching sun, we were trying to capture a nice pic of Dav & 嬷嬷...
err... not quite achievable cos they cant keep their eyes open! ^___^"

The same weekend...
Here's Dorielle finally 'tall' enough, or do we call it 'long' enough,
for her feet to touch the ground when the walker is put to the lowest sitting level

Our dear meimei on the walker @ 公公's hse

Dorielle has moved on to diaper size M!

9 Sept 09
Dorielle has upgraded to Size M! not that she's still so small, but bcos we had a LOT of Size S diapers... think we overstocked up cos we underestimated Dorielle's growth rate! Given that she is born smaller sized as compared to Davina, Dorielle's growth actually caught up very rapidly. She is comparable with Davina's previous records of growth milestones! She weighs as heavy as Davina was, during the same no of mths!

4 - 7 Sept 09
the weekend that all fell sick... started with Daddy vomiting & having diarrhea on Friday night... Davina followed suit on Saturday... and Dorielle caught their virus on Monday... caused by? Gastric flu virus...

Wanted to quarantine the 'unaffected' from the 2 affected ones, mummy brought Dorielle to 公公's house...


Both our girls are very "yang orh"... remember Dav had a similar shot?

<== Dorielle & Davina ==>

Unfortunately when mummy called home, was told Davina had vomited again, 7th time since the 1st vomiting at 2 am... thank god 小舅 was back from camp & he rode back with mummy...


here's 小舅 accompanying mummy to bring his beloved "fake daughter" (as he so-called her, since he's always mistaken for her daddy when he brings her out) to the doc's on Sat

Dorielle's tummy time...

in this pic, dorielle had her face touching the bolster, when she drifted back to sleep after drinking her milk *that explains the empty milk bottle beside her*

Talk about Dav having weird sleeping poses when she was younger...
Dorielle has weird sleeping habits! Her face must touch/be covered, only then can she sleep... ??? still haven't been able to figure out why...

Dorielle hits her 6-mth mark & Happy Birthday to 公公

is FINALLY the word? Hahaha... honestly she is much easier to care for now, then her first 3 mths when mummy was still in maternity leave and looking after her.

Here's presenting our 'fattie', Dorielle... *_^

Our latest family pic

daddy and his darlings...

Happy Birthday, 公公!!
Our MAJOR family pic! Woo weet!
(taken during celebration of 公公's birthday)

Our little vain pot... insisted on carrying mummy's bag when mummy brought her downstairs to get lunch on one of the weekends... cute? ^_^

lunar 7th mth...

it's been a long while since mummy has time to sit down & blog... T-I-R-E-D is the word...

Nothing exciting over the past couple of weeks, it's SO routine...

Fetching the girls on Fri nites... Spending the weekends stressed out & tired by our 2 monsters (1 that yaks non-stop + 1 that cries non-stop)...

Monday mornings bringing Dav to CC & Dorielle to nanny before going to work, at least mummy gets a breather at nite by going for pilates with 姨姨 to re-energise whilst daddy helps to bring Dorielle back from nanny's place & Dav stays there...

Tuesdays, either of us will drop Dorielle off & bring Dorielle back @ nite...

Wednesday nites bringing both girls home, Thursday nites only Dorielle comes home...

Here comes Fridays...

That summarizes our week... *rolls eyes*

The girls are so noisy that we don't even dare to bring them back to 公公''s hse last weekend! Can anyone beat that? *wonder*

The last Thursday was 1st day of the lunar 7th mth... Honestly, Catholics & Christians, us shouldn't believe and do anything about such... however, experience with Dav over the past 2 yrs have proven that children do "see things"...

with dorielle's crankiness to start with, we didn't want to risk any form of "worsening", if that statement sounds rite...

Anyway, we specially went earlier to fetch her back from nanny's house and ensuring that she reaches back home before 7 pm! Sighz... tell us, what other extremes do parents do? *frown*

But before we picked Dorielle, we decided to give Dav a bit of our time & all of our attention... we picked her up from her CC instead of uncle picking her...


this was a notice from the CC when Dav joined her class in May

yup, MacDonalds again... her fav fries...

she just cant put her fries down ~~ ^___^"

Anyway, here's a long catch up of pics of our beloved terrors...

Davina & her 1st scoop of ice cream, all to herself...

here comes daddy who wants to have a share...

All the Doraemon prezzies you can think of from Uncle Ben!

dorielle on the walker @ 公公's hse

Ambitious us, trying to sit Dorielle up when she's just 6 mths...
but honestly, some peeps have told us not to be too anxious, after all, Dorielle was a premmie & technically had she been a full-term baby, she'd only be 4 mths old now!

Dorielle is holding her milk bottle on her own now...
some 'hands-free' time for us...

Random pics of Davina...

the 'artwork' of our nanny... buying them identical PJs...
think all the 公公 & 嬷嬷 in the world love dressing siblings like that... thinking back, 公公 & 嬷嬷 used to dress mummy & 姨姨, 大舅 & 小舅 this way too... dotx...

Our dear girl playing with daddy's phone... she's learnt to take pic of herself, from an 'artistic' angle ^___^"

my god... this is so un-glam... Hahahaha....
mummy is trying to proof.... davina really ain't photogenic... Sighz...

updates

woah! didnt realised it's been a good 2 weeks without updates of us... until 姨姨 complained... and a couple of friends who have been following our updates feedback that they wanna know what's happening in our lives!! Honoured ^_^ Appreciate your love & concern!

here's what's happening with our lovely duo...


our big baby finds fun in playing with meimei's toys...


*pic, courtesy of 姨姨 * and sitting in meimei's walker in 公公's hse... see her legs...

our darling 姨姨 trying to picture Dorielle with long hair...
See Dorielle's "angry" face...

Here's Davina who wants to help mummy with the grocery trolley...

Big baby acting up again when she wants to sit in the stroller when Dorielle was in it. So we told her, she's gotta carry/hold meimei, else she will have to walk home... and this is what we get ^___^"

despite knowing how much Davina is afraid to stand on grass & sand, daddy purposely carried her to the centre of the grass patch at the bus stop when we were waiting for bus to 公公's hse. Daddy suddenly put her down! Haha, Dav was horrified! =p

Still trying to tease her, we asked her to move closer to the plant and point the leaves to us... haha...

mummy with ex-colleagues from ARC...
once again, congrats to Howard & Hweili... ^_^

finally for once... Dorielle is "co-operative" enough for us to take her pics... ^_^

This is our terror princess, Dorielle Sin, at 4.5 mths...


Commando training begins...

trying to sit her up...

Oh btw, this lil fella's "leg power" is even better than Dav's!
She hasn't even learn to sit, she's already pushing herself to stand when we hold her hands! my god...

Finally sitting nicely... ^_^

see Dorielle's cheeky face? we are starting to imagine how mischievous she'd be when she grows up!


taken when daddy was playing with Dorielle...
