vesak day

As the blue skies chase the dark cloud that looms,

I pray for enlightenment and inner peace for everyone.

Happy Vesak Day! 

pirouette

Dear A.,

Today you cracked up laughing when I showed you how to do the pirouette. You clapped and clamored for "mohr!'

We were both giddy from all the laughing and twirling!

I wish that someday you'll learn to love dancing and laughing to your heart's content.

Love,

Mum

funday friday

Friday is Kindermusik day for the little one. 

She's been on the morning class since the new semester started.
After class, we usually head out to the nearest food court in ION Orchard and wait for Daddy to join us for lunch. 

Today was like any other Friday save for an extra special lunch treat! 

Daddy treated us to  CPK at Forum, the Mall. This is our first time to try this resto here in SG. The hubby and I were looking forward to sampling their "innovative pizzas with crusts that are hearth baked to perfection!"

(Our family loves to eat Pizza and our all time fave in SG is Modesto's.) 

While waiting for Daddy, the little one kept herself busy with crayons and crunchies!


These were our choices: California style pizza, pasta and salad! 

Fettucine in garlic Parmesan cream sauce with Italian parsley

5 Cheese Pizza: fresh Roma tomatoes, basil, fresh Mozarella Monterey Jack, smoked Gouda, Mozarella & shaved Pecorino Romano cheeses 

Classic Chicken Caesar Salad: Crisp Romaine leaves with shaved Parmesan cheese & garlic herb croutons tossed in Caesar dressing & topped with a grilled rosemary chicken breast.

We were full to the gills when we finished! And we still had some left to take home! We especially loved the five cheese pizza. Even our toddler gave it her nod of approval.

Here's hoping that fridays will always be fun days for all of us! Till the next one! :)

At 17 months and 3 weeks old, 

I hereby proclaim that my toddler has officially entered the era of fussy and picky eating! 

Thankfully though, I still have these guys in my arsenal. 

Annie's Totally Natural Rice Pasta and Cheddar

Homecooked Chicken Adobo

Dried Mangoes 

 And,  Broccoli! 

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I don't run out of options. 

I shall keep looking! 

weekend that was

It was a long weekend for us over here in the RED DOT. Here is what transpired over those 3 days :)


1. The Royal Wedding. 
3 PM Singapore time, we watched the events unfold via live feed from Mediacorp/BBC coverage. We were in awe by the elegance of it all! The tailored suits, uniforms, fascinators, hats, horse drawn carriages, presence of royalty from around the world!
My toddler was so into the celebration that she kept on waving back at the Royals on the telly!

The Beckhams 

 Prince William and Prince Harry 

Here comes the bride...HRH Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton!

2. Baby's First Long MRT Ride and Baby Shower!

On our way to attend a baby shower party, we decided to take public transport - the MRT.

 Papa Hoo & Baby Hoo enjoying the ride :)

Baby Hoo had a great time chasing and dodging balloons that pop spontaneously!

4. Chilling at home and doing her favorite activity at the moment: Scribbling with crayons!

 That knowing smile and twinkle in her eyes when she accomplishes a task. Precious.

Scribble. Scribble. 

Scribble anywhere and everywhere.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
