Good Bye Dearest Copen ...

Good Bye Dearest Copen... Will really miss you. Cos of you, we realise our dream of owning a hard top convertible. Always remember the fun we had cruising down ECP "topless"!! Hope your new owner will have as much fun as we had


Nigel really Love this car. He even sleeptalks about Copen after we sold it. I guess he misses Copen. But we have to make way for a bigger car as Nigel is getting too big for this car and it is dangerous too and against the Law ...... 

OutSmarted by a 2 year old !!

Nigel loves Kiddy Rides at shopping malls but best of all, he love the Mentos machine! You put in a $1 coin and try your luck to see how many Mentos you will get. Nigel just love to see the Mentos being scooped up but he doesn't eat the Mentos at all. I always allow one Kiddy ride for Nigel per time, when he is really good, I will let him try the Mentos machine. He always accept my excuse, " Mummy has no coins" as a reason for not letting him play with the Mentos machine. But today ... I got outsmarted! He wanted to try the Mentos machine so I gave the same excuse. So later on, he wanted to ride the Mickey mouse Kiddy ride. I took out the $1 coin and immediately he said " Don't want car!". He got off the car, ran to the Mentos machine and ask for the coin !! And I can't tell him I have no coins !! ARGH !!!!!!

October ... Season of Changes

It's been a really long time since I have updated the blog. It is a really crazy 2 months. Our Sengkang home has been sold. Good Bye my Dearest Home. I have lots of memories here. Now we are all staying at my in-laws place. Currently, we just gotten a new house (not home yet) within 1km of Nigel's future school, Tao Nan Primary and rented it out in the meantime. As KS parents, we just want to make sure Nigel gets into a good primary school. Even though Shawn is an old boy but that school is really popular.

Nigel is now having home tuition with Ms Jo-Ann for around 2 months now too. He was a good student at first but now... Haiz...

Everytime he is asked to do writing .... He will say "I am so tired" ..... Today, he has started to pretend to cough !!! I think I will have loads of problems in school. So far, he has learnt to write, his art skills has improve and he has started to talk more.

Recently, he has learnt football from his grandpa which is my dad !

Also had an outing with Nigel's god brother, Andrew to celebrate Andrew's Second Birthday !!

Singapore Flyer !

Unlucky me has finally won something, tickets to Singapore Flyer !! But the downside is it is valid only on the 27th of June and it is family day so it is really crowded !! Waited at least an hour before we went up the Flyer. Nigel really enjoyed himself and there is another boy around his age. They had fun jumping around together !

In the Flyer Finally !!

Great View !

Daddy's 30th Surprise Birthday Party !!

4th July is Nigel's Daddy's 30th party. So I planned a surprise party for him on the 3th July. Just a small party with close friends and family! He didn't guess anything till the morning of the party !! (^_^)

Macho Daddy !

Wishing that He will win the next 10 million dollars TOTO

This Father's Day, we celebrate the men who willingly and courageously practice active fathering.

While many Singaporean families still honour the traditional roles of mum as the main caregiver and dad as the main breadwinner, we see more dads taking an active role in parenting and caring for their kids. They may have heavy work responsibilities during the day, but once they are home, these dads roll up their sleeves and jump right on to the parenting bandwagon willingly.

Like these families, my husband and I practice shared parenting.  If I have work to do, he’s in charge of the kids.  If he has to travel, I take time off work to be at home.  I’m the disciplinarian in my family, while he takes his role as mediator and jester very seriously. But sometimes, our parenting methods differ.

Take last night as an example.  I wanted to finish work so I could celebrate Father’s Day this weekend, so I asked him to put the kids to bed. They usually read in bed before lights are turned off, so I was expecting some peace and quiet. But within minutes, there was a ruckus of tambourine bells, peals of laughter and loud singing coming from the room.

“What was going on?” I fumed, more mad at my husband than the kids.  He’s supposed to wind themdown, not UP.

I opened the door, all ready to yell, but was stopped short as my two munchkins rushed towards me and words tumbling out of their mouths, gleefully invited me to join them.   They had (with daddy’s help) created a new song and couldn’t wait to present it to me.

My kids exhibited such sheer delight as I watched the trio (father and children) belt out the silliest song about chicken rice being their favourite food; their gusto and laughter were infectious.  It may be bedtime, but the kids were having fun with dad.  My earlier grudges were replaced with gratefulness that their father could create special moments like these for the kids in spite of his busy and sometimes stressful work schedule.

And I’m not alone in my gratitude.  Read what some of our readers feel about their super daddies:

Joanna Tan says: My hubby Shawn & our 25 months old Boy. Shawn is more like his friend than father. He will go down to Nigel’s level and interact with him. For example, he will play “basketball” with him. He is also the soul of Nigel’s Fave toy, Mr Monkey. So the 2 of them are Best Buddies! Always the one Nigel runs to when I scold him. Shawn will make sure he will spare time for Nigel almost everyday to have at least 1/2 hour playtime to Bond. He is the one in charge of his night feeds till now still, as Nigel still needs night feeds.

Grace Miranda says: My husband is, maybe for me, an ideal dad to my kids. My niece told me more than 18 yrs ago that when she gets married, she will look for a guy like my husband or maybe he will grab him from me. Now my daughter is saying the same thing, she will find a man who is like his dad, who can carry himself well physically, emotionally and spiritually. She said when I get angry with her she gets upset at times, BUT when dad gets disappointed she just feel like “super-guilty”. Because he will talk to her in a very soft-manner and will not tell her that she is bad or what, but will talk to her in a very positive way. He is always there for them and mostly they can see that their dad loves their mom.

Joann Hernandez says: My husband is a very patient and loving dad. He takes care of my gals when he isn’t working. Before we all go to bed he will send my kids to brush their teeth and change to pyjamas. Even in the middle of the night he will bring them to the toilet when the kids need to pee. But the most touching of all is when the kids are sick, he is the one who wakes up at night to feed their medicine.

Happy Father’s Day to all the daddies out there!

Nigel is 2 !

Nigel is Officially in his Terrible Twos !!! We had a quiet celebration with my parents, Shawn's parents and some friends, Clifton and Leo on the 7th May. On 8th May, which is his actual birthday, Shawn and I had initially wanted to bring Nigel to his fave Playground aka Airport but Shawn injured both his knees while playing basketball. So we spend the whole day at home. But for Nigel, as long as he can spend the day with us, he is happy. Definitely will have a party for him when he is 3!
