Fun-filled Fabulous Friday

We were in Takashimaya early at 10am because Laogong had some Russian students at Shangri-la who requested for 11am lessons. Laogong shopped with us for 40 minutes and he loaded the car with some shopping loots while Ollie and I continued on. Haha. 

He came back to fetch us for lunch and we decided to go over to Ikea because we needed to grab some stuff there. I also miss the wings! Ollie had a bit of play time there too. 

After lunch and shopping, we headed back to Ion for my PEFXo monthly dinner. It would have been even better if Pn joined us. Till Feb then! Great dinner we had at TCC. Yumz. Of cos, company always matters! S texted and told me that she's at Ion. Such coincidence! Of course we've to let the two BFFs meet! After dinner with PEFXo, Ollie and I went to find them. 

Perfect day. Ollie had her nap twice in the stroller. I'm loving my lightweight but sturdy and easily folded stroller. And the cab driver helped me yesterday! Almost 12h out with Ollie, and we're all happy! Yay! 

Lunch Date

We headed to Plaza Singapura today to do a bit of shopping and have lunch with the gf. 

Laogong bought a new swim board for Ollie. 

Hello Kitty! It is so cute! 

We had lunch at Hoshino Coffee. 

After the disappointing Sakura Latte, 

we decided to switch over to Arteastiq for another round of caffeine. 

Good catch up with the gf today! 

Ollie is 13 Months Young!

Time flies. 

Ollie is 13 Months Young! 

And next month this time, we'll be in Paris! 

Can't wait! 

The weather is quite cold there, 

I hope she will like it! 

Baked bread for breakfast this morning. 

Slacked at home after breakfast and Ollie played quite a bit before taking her usual nap. 

Woke up at noon and we headed out for lunch. 

See how lovey dovey the father and daughter are! Haha. 

(Disclaimer: It's pure watermelon juice. No additional sugar. She didn't drink the whole glass. She just had a sip.)

The scorching hot afternoon is making us very sleepy! 

After lunch was more play before Ollie started making her way upstairs. 

Nowadays, that is how she tells us that she wants to nap -  she will slowly climb up the stairs. 

(Disclaimer: We're always behind her.)

And so now... I've successfully latched her to sleep...

Should I also nap or start to prepare for dinner? 

Fruits and Vegetables

Since so many Papas and Mamas are at it, I shall join in the fun. Ollie has no uniform, and will not be having any since our intention is to homeschool her. No need for orientation. Like our usual supermarket visit, we always name the items and introduce them to her. We had our Fruits and Vegetables lesson at the supermarket today. Senosory wise, she touched some of the fruits and vegetables to get a feel of different textures. Now that Ollie is able to understand better, respond to us, we can do more things with her! :) 

Happy Eventful Sunday

#coercedselfie with #vainmama again

It seems like Ollie prefers to do OOTD shots.

Haha, she is always giving me the #coercedselfie look.

Love our twinning white dresses today!

All TWFEC's lessons resume from 5th Jan.

Definitely happy to have a Sunday with Laogong today.

We attended Heather's party.

We shopped at Changi City Point.

We had dinner with Papa and Boy.

And we went to Gardens By The Bay!

Very eventful and blissful day we had.

Definitely very happy.

Great start to 2016!

Happy 2015

Dear Mummy, 2015 is ending in a few hours time.

(just typing the line above is getting quite emotional for me)

I still think it is a Happy 2015.

You are freed from all sufferings after all in May 2015,

and it is undeniable you had led a fantastic life.

Last year this time, I was juggling between confinement 

and worrying about you.

It was extremely emotional and many days of 

confinement was spent crying.

Double whammy.

BUT.

Life is led by how we want to lead,

being positive and always happy is what I want it to be.

Because that is how Papa and you taught us to.

So yes, it was a happy and fantastic 2015.

You had some precious moments with Ollie.

We spent countless precious moments together.

And you are forever in our hearts and minds.

Every time I am enjoying,

you are in my mind, 

for the good.

Because I know this should be the way!

Lots Love Mummy.

Thailand Day 11 to 14

We visited JJ Market for the last time and decided that we're done. Gonna quit JJ... Enough of the heat and the crowd. Haha.

Good days we had, sleeping in everyday. Some days, we woke up for breakfast and then went back to bed and continue sleeping. Best! Some days, we woke up to eat, shop and then head back to nap... Then up to eat and shop again. Wonderful! We bought a new luggage today, bought too much of Ollie's toys. We also made merit at Wat Arun. Wat Arun and Erawan Shrine are the two places we always make sure we go to make merit. Reported to Central World for the last time today. Played everything. Ate at MK and said bye bye to our favorite waitresses. 

We're going home! 

(Haha, kind of emo. After spending 24/7 family time, I'm starting to miss it already! Seeing how Ollie is growing up everyday, I also feel emo about it. Growing up too fast!)

Thailand Day 10

More shopping on Xmas day for Ollie! 

We headed down to Sathorn, Plan Toys' main office and shopped to our hearts' content. 

Bought the table and a huge box of toys. 

(and we actually bought a new luggage on Day 14 to contain everything). 

We reported back to Central World (Haha, yes, very often we headed there, because it has the most facilities for Ollie) for lunch (or was it dinner) and play. 

In the evening, it was more unboxing of toys toys toys! 

Ollie is becoming an expert at ripping off wrapping paper. 

Thailand Day 9

Christmas Eve in Thailand! 

I forgot how many times have we spent our Christmases 

(and sometimes New Year) in Thailand.

This time round, with Ollie!

Headed to Chanel at Siam Paragon.

What is Christmas without Chanel, 

since both begin with C?

Haha.

After my shopping, it is Ollie's turn.

Well, actually, she shops everyday!

We're buying her things every day!

Ollie built her first bear, or well, 

a pony / unicorn!

The Papa and his little lover.

We also shopped in Isetan and spotted Plan Toys.

Thanks to V for introducing this brand of sustainable toys

to us.

Anyway, we decided not to buy anything at Isetan.

Haha, the Papa wanted to buy so many things,

even the table!

We decided to head down to the main office

the next day, and not only did we get a trolley-full

of toys, we really got the table!

(The Papa actually said that he is willing to discard the

dining table so that we can have more space for her toys!)

Thailand Day 8

The tradition of praying at 9 temples in Ayutthaya is an effort to stock pile merit and luck for the rest of the year. 9 in Thai, "gao," is the same word as "gao," / progress. Many Thais go to 9 temples every January to start the year off right so that it progresses well. But being the always-positive and want-to-be-positive me, I see it as a good way to end and give thanks for  the blessed year so that we can start the new year right! Thank you, Nuch. You always make time for us. 

Thailand Day 6 & 7

The last full day in Chiangmai and we decided to head down to the Flora Park. Lovely place with lots of flowers. Would have been perfect if the weather is cooler. We rented the bicycles and rode around. Headed back for a nap after lunch. Woke up and took Ollie for a swim. Wait... Or was it swim then nap? Hiya, whatever! We visited our dentist before dinner. Dinner was great! The baby porridge they served was yummy. Haha. I shared with Ollie. The next day, we had breakfast and got ready to fly to Bangkok. It was the usual slacking and relaxing and shopping. So many days to shop, we're doing it slowly. Had dinner at our usual MK (all my favourite waitresses are there!) and we're happy to the know the two managers had delivered their baby girls healthily! Shop at our usual Big C. Ollie totally enjoyed herself. Points, points, points and the Papa buys buys buys. I'm totally jealous!
