New found interest!

Reyes' post:

 

We chanced upon some roller blading classes at Punggol Park last weekend. Mummy saw that Reyden looked keen and asked if we wanted to give it a try. We took up a trial class the next day and fell in love with it!

It's gonna be our activity for the Saturdays and Sundays for next whole month. It isn't an easy sport, one would probably fall many times before picking up the skill. Me for one, had fallen umpteen times, till I cried in pain but still wouldn't give up. Reyden fell a couple of times too, before both of us were able to glide smoothly at the end of 2 lessons.

We look forward to our future lessons learning more blading tricks and patterns!



Jun 14 - A month of fun and joy

It had been a great fun month. Our 1st long school holiday since we embarked on the primary school journey. Other than the Gold Coast trip, we visited the Alive Museum, Navy Museum, met up with childhood friends (whole gang!),  watched a movie & went for dimsum feasting. How we wish the holiday doesn't come to an end. Nevertheless it's time to get ready and go back to school. Let's look forward to our next long(er) school holidays in Dec!

 

  

Releasing the drama side of us at Alive Museum. It's one of the Korea’s original chain of Illusionary Entertainment Museum, situated at Suntec City.

It had been a long while since we met up with the whole Mar 07 group. The mummies said we were like long lost friends. Started the outing with lunch at Crossings Cafe, outdoor play at garden outside SMU, walkaround in SAM and ended the day with dinner at Marche 313!

My maiden attempt at a birthday cake for my lil' twin stars.
你们永远是我们的骄傲，我们的宝贝。祝你们生日快乐!

We've graduated!

Orientation!

Marching to Pri 1

This is sequel to Mummy's 1st post about PRIMARY SCHOOLS 2 months back. There'll probably be many many chapters for this title. We shall leave those to next year. Let's start with the happier things though.

Mummy had gotten our water bottles, school bags and wallet/purses ready! Thank you to all the aunties who had helped in her "research" and their recommendations. We love our new stuff for school. These purchases made us half ready for entrance to the primary school. We are now left with the school books, uniforms, shoes and socks and we'll be all geared! Mummy said we'll get those after orientation on the 26th Oct.

Reyes' review

 

 

 

I was due for my medical review/lung function test today. The test is to determine if I have asthma/weak lungs or just sensitive aiways. It turned out that I'm not asthmatic.

However I do have sensitive airways thus the few episode of bronchitis. However the specialist mentioned it's not anything serious and I'll probably outgrow it when I'm older.

 

The test itself was pretty tough as I had to hold my breath and blow out long enough for them to capture the statistics. Gorgor was there with me and he kind of movtivated to do the tests well. Thank God for the result and thank God for the lovely twin.



 

Our 1st Children Church service



Mummy finally brought us to our 1st Children Church! It was at the Chapel of the Resurrection where Aunty Elisa attends. She takes the young kids for the Children Church too though a different age group as the one we attend.
This place isn't unfamiliar for Mummy as she had stayed in that estate for 17 years and Ah Chor's still there now.
Oh yes and they do have a young todd class too. Nee will be here for the next session. She missed today's as she's nursing a fever.

Mummy was elated to know Reyden likes the session as he said he wants to be back. She also knew that he was following thru the story and singing as he went home telling Daddy that he's David, he has a sling and stones to help him fight Goliath. Haha!

Carpe Diem 2D1N Campfire

 

We are going for yearly overnight camp again! Mummy loves Carpe Diem for these kind of exposure. Last year's camp was at Underwater World and we gonna pitch tents and sleep in them for this year's camp!

We asked to bring our trunkis and we packed our own clothes and basic stuff for the camp.

Doc For A Day

Thank you to Aunty Jeanelle for sharing about this event on facebook. Mummy signed us up for it at the Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. We were brought around demo rooms like general practice room, A&E, operating threate, nursery and pharmacy, got to try bandaging, picking out things (??) from dummy lungs and etc ... It was a pretty great learning session for us.

 

PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Why is it in caps? Cos it's the MAIN thing on Mummy's mind now (and the past few weeks). She had completed 40 hours of parent volunteer work at a neighbourhood school beside our place early this year. In fact she had been rather happy with what she understands and seen at the school thus far.

However she is still kind of holding on to 2 other "more prestigious" schools, Radin Mas (Daddy's old school) and Rosyth which is within 1km of our place. The problem here is Radin Mas is sooooo far from home and Mummy don't forsee we will move to anywhere near there soon. The other choice, Rosyth is probably a risk as there'll be balloting required.

So ... we are back to square one. Daddy said Mummy is just giving herself problem. Just settle with the one nearby and that's it. Mummy certainly hopes she won't regret this decision.

Anyway Reyden had given her some insights of his views about this matter and it kind of assured Mummy of her decision.

1st ice skating experience, COOL!

We had our 1st try at ice skating - Kallang Ice World today! Of course, we were terribly delighted and excited. There were training bars for the beginners. We used them for awhile before we could manage on our own and passed the bars to other users. It was a fun learning experience overall and Mummy was impressed with our determination and ability to pick up this activity so quickly.

Kallang Ice World charges $14 for adults and $12 for children (at least 4 years old). Rental for skates for adults cost an additional $3.50 while children skates cost $3. They are open till 10pm everyday except Saturdays and Public Holidays. For Saturdays and Public Holidays, they are open till 11pm. If you have any questions, you can get them at 63481123.

Reyden, Reyes are 6!

Mummy said this is our last birthday party in Carpe Diem so we gonna have some memories. She ordered gorgeous cupcakes for us and brought Meimei along to celebrate with us in school. Happy Birthday to both of us!

Xmas party in Carpe Diem

Movie Day

表姨's wedding

This is our 2nd wedding dinner that we get to attend together. The last one which was another 表姨's wedding 3 yrs+ back was a disaster. Since then Mummy had never bring us for wedding dinners together anymore. I guess we don't have to explain much why it is so.

Nevertheless we had proven quite well that we are able to handle such functions well at our age now. We could address people, eat on our own, entertain ourselves and not bug Daddy/Mummy. We were even spontaneous enough for some fun instant photoshoot. However we won't get to follow for the next wedding dinner in Dec. Mummy said it's Nee's turn, we'll have to take turns. So then we'll be creating havoc with Aunty at home.

Oh yes, did we mention that Reyden was the bridal car boy this morning?

 



Happy 5th Birthday to my 2 big babies!

Mummy's post:

Shhh ... I sneaked out from my confinement today! For the sake of my 2 big babies. It's their 5th birthday and we didnt have any celebration plans for them at home. Therefore I gave them a surprise in school.

Dear Reyden and Reyes,
may your day be filled with happiness & the year be filled with joy. Happy Birthday! Mummy love you!

Princess (& Prince) Party and Reyes' scare

We had a princess (and prince) party this evening, a big scale one. The aunties each have their individual stations doing hair, manicure, makeup and phototaking for us. We were all dressed up in princess gowns and there were dances, cat walks and etc ... Everyone enjoyed the party.

Mummy's note:
However a mishap happened when we were about to head home. The kids were playing catching when Reyes fell and cut her chin. It was a deep cut with blood flowing non-stop. I got a scare and started crying. Luckily Kent was around, he was pretty calm and tried stopping the blood. Reyden isn't too bad either. He helped to pack up our bags, carried the umbrellas as we rushed off to the hospital. Reyes had been pretty brave, stopped crying and could still give me a smile at the hospital. She took 10 stitches, didn't cry, didnt struggle.

11 days later ... We went back for the removal of stitches. That's the tricky part. The pulling out of the stitches seem to be painful. Reyes couldnt stop crying and struggling. The whole process took more than an hr and finally DONE.

Lantern Festival

Ye Ye, Nai Nai are shifting. Dua Pek had gotten a bigger place for all of them and renovation is on-going currently.

Mummy had brought us to Nainai's place on her own as Daddy isn't around. We went over to their new place to test out the newly fixed lightings and Ye Ye, Dua Pek and Ah Pek gotten lanterns, sparklers for us to play at the playground.

Punggol Promenade Riverside Walk

Mummy and Aunty Michelle brought the 3 lil' pigs to the Punggol Promenade Riverside Walk for a stroll (cum scooting and cycling).

We ended the walk with dinner at an alfresco restaurant, Frienzie Bar & Bistro. Nice ambience and food. We look forward to bringing Daddy there for a walk. Oh ya, Daddy wasn't with us cos of a wedding dinner.
