This is my “report card” after six months of training at Z Fencing. FULL MARKS! 100 MARKS!
Mummy is wondering… how nice if I can deliver such results when I go to Primary 1 in two years time.
Mummy, keep praying… keep dreaming… who knows your wish may come true.
My Granduncle and Grandaunt came over to Ah Ma’s house for a visit. Guess what did Granduncle buy for me? A brand new lego set! YIPPEE…
How did this set of lego come about? Mummy does not know. Nobody knows… I guess it is a secret between Granduncle and me. They came over and gave Ah Ma some new year gifts two weeks ago. While Ah Ma, Mummy and Grandaunt were talking in the living room, I requested Granduncle to play with me. He came to my room and played with me. Before he left, he promised me to buy me a set of lego. Mummy was guessing that this might be my early birthday present (Grandaunt never fails to remember my birthday).
We are two days away before CNY 2010 is over. I personally dislike Chinese New Year (except for the fact that it is a public holiday - no work, no school). I simply cannot tolerate the idea of visiting relatives and friends which you never even thought of visiting if not for CNY. Some might say this is an opportunity for one to call upon relatives and friends but I find it quite hypocritical. Why must wait for CNY to do so? Other might say “Oh, we are busy at work and the children are too busy with their school work.” Anyway or anyhow, it is the Chinese tradition or culture. This is just how I felt. No offence… hahaha
Like I say, no matter how I dislike the festival, I still got to adhere to the Chinese tradition (if not, I will step on my mum’s or MIL’s toes… OUCH!)
年除夕
We had yusheng and steamboat lunch at Ah Ma’s house.
年除一
Without fail, every year I have problem asking Nigel to 拜年. I expect him to take two mandarin oranges and say some 吉祥话 to Ah Ma. But he took three oranges and threw them on the sofa. Thereafter, he put one back to the basket and said 恭喜恭喜 to Ah Ma. Not only Nigel, every year I have difficulty with the greetings as well and my standard greetings… 身体健康 万事如意… haha
Thereafter, we proceeded to Nai Nai’s house for lunch. The boys have fun playing on Wii that Gu Gu bought a couple of weeks back. Not forgetting, playing on each other PSP and DS Lite.
年除二
Every year, Gong Gong’s siblings will come over for lunch at Ah Ma’s house. Thereafter, the adults and older children will try their luck on Black Jack while the younger ones will play with toys. This year, we welcome a pair of twins - Baby Garrett and Baby Elliot who are only 6 weeks old and with me in the photo is their elder brother, Matius who is also turning five years old this year (same as Nigel).
年除三
捞鱼生 and dinner at Din Tai Fung. Nigel’s very own style of 捞鱼生.
年除七 (人日)
捞鱼生 and dinner at Nai Nai’s house. This year, we have abalone 鱼生.
年除八
捞鱼生 and dinner at Imperial Treasure Nan Bei Restaurant
Ooooohhhh….. I love overseas sprees organised by mummies at Singapore Motherhood.
The items I usually buy are bermudas and shorts. No exception this time round. I bought Nigel another two pair of shorts - Boys Plaid Shorts and Boys Railroad-Stripe Cargo Shorts from Old Navy to add to his wardrobe.
Total damage: US$18.70 (excluding shipping)
Nigel has been asking to visit the Singapore Zoo for umpteen times. I tried my luck and was successful in balloting for the corporate zoo pass. Never in my whole life did I see such a long queue at the ticketing booth! I guess it is the holiday and festive season and most people have no where to go.
For our past visits to the zoo, we will never without fail bring Nigel’s pram with us but not this time. We bade Nigel’s pram farewell a week before Chinese New Year. We even had to go to the extent of seeking his approval to sell his pram to the Cash Converter. The pram is Nigel’s baby and he will never leave home without it! His reaction… Are you going to buy me a new one? *fainted*
Daddy rented a Tiny Xplorer much to Nigel’s delight.
Nigel’s motive of visiting the zoo is none other than playing at the water playground in Rainforest Kidzworld. We made our way straight to Rainforest Kidzworld after we paid the polar bears and the buaya a visit.
Nigel is really excited and could not wait to get himself drenched in the water. This is the first time he tried the water slides. We were there for an hour or so. He did not want to visit the rest of the animals so we left the zoo after we had our lunch at KFC. Oh well, he paid the buaya another visit before we left.
愿大家在虎年里
虎尽甘来
虎福临门
虎虎生威
身体健康
万事如意
但愿人长久千里共婵娟
愿天下有情人终成眷属
情人节快乐… Happy Valentine’s Day
*all the above are Nigel’s masterpieces in school*

The Hollywood Dinos is definitely not as good as they brag it to be and I believe I spoke the world. For those who are planning a trip there, I rather you go watch Jurassic Park. Nothing to the extent of walking into the “Hollywood” movie sets where visitors can play their part of the story though some of the life-size dinosaurs exhibits can move, growl, blink their eyes and wag their tails.
We took barely 20 minutes to walk through the dinosaur exhibits! Nevertheless, here are some photos taken at the event.
