Zoe's 4th Birthday!

Zoe (Sophia) celebrated her 4th birthday in her school in Nativity Church Kindergarten. I just bought a Tinkerbell cake from Polar. 1 kg is worth SGD37.50. Ordered it 1 day in advance. Would want to buy the Four Leaves cake but have to order 3 days in advance for a customized cake. 

Assembly starts at 8:15. Zoe and I were in school 5 minutes before the assembly time. Mrs Chia, Zoe's teacher, put on the candles and brought it inside the Music Room. Another student is also celebrating her birthday. Children were looking at me as there were no parents inside besides me. But Mommy got to do what she got to do--take photos. ;)

                                        

After assembly, they had their fitness Wednesday. I stayed inside the school ground. It was such a bummer, my digital camera and my handphone were running on low battery and was not able to take videos. Good timing, eh! Mommy not prepared. But thank God, digital camera and phone were still able to capture the more important events.

 Cutting her cake.

 With the boys.

With the girls.

Mommy was so hungry I forgot to take photo with Mrs. Chia and Mrs. Yong...sheeshh...

Since I don't allow my kids to eat chocolate cake we bought a smaller Tinkerbell cake from Polar as well. Zoe and Wacks blew the candles. Mommy, Daddy, Tita Grace & Ninang Lek ate the cake. ;p

Big smiles. Love it!

With a little help from Wacks.

Fishing at Bottle Tree Park

Last Sunday, we went to Bottle Tree Park to go fishing. The park is near Khatib MRT and just across Yishun Sports Hall. We were there around 9:45am and when we went to the family fishing area, it was empty. 

Empty fishing area except Daddy & Zoe

Zoe and Wacks were very excited. Uncle gave them 2 fishing nets and 2 containers for their catches. $10 per child. Uncle told us that there is no time limit and we can catch as many as we want.

He should have given us a bigger container. Our catch after 10 minutes. :)

Wacks caught some fishes on his own. He was having fun not only in catching fish but also splashing on the water!

"I catched a fish!"

Before 11am, people started coming in. And it's time for us to go. Will we come back? Yes! But now with friends. The more the merrier! :)

Fishing in action.

Mommy Buffett :)

I am so excited! Philippine stock market is down! And unlike other women , I shop for stocks instead of going to mall during this Great Singapore Sale. :) Finally, I bought PLDT shares at low prices. Though I haven't catched the lowest price yesterday! I am so happy I restrained myself from buying during the bull market. Except for AC... :( Still I have spare kaching (cash) to buy some great companies! Woot woot!

I Can See Clearly Now

The sun is out. The sky is clear. PSI has dropped to 84 today after hitting a record high of 401 yesterday. Haze has been all over Singapore since Tuesday. My sinusitis attacked since then and persisted til Wednesday evening. By Thursday, all windows and doors were closed making it hard for me to breathe. Praise God, kids are coping well. Though, Wacks had a bout of slight fever during the day...

We are supposed to attend 2 birthday parties today but decided to just stay at home. The PSI is very unpredictable so instead of taking chances, we again 'imprisoned' ourselves. 4 days at home! My itchy feet is waging war!  

Daddy and the kids are out in the playground now. As at 5pm, PSI reading is 53! Praise God!!! Hello, clear skies and clean air!!! Goodbye, haze!!! Don't want to see and smell you again! ;p

Back from Pinas

Haven't written here for quite some time. We were back after almost 3 weeks of vacation in the Philippines. It was more fun, more productive and less stressful! Thank God no one got sick, which is very usual after having a vacation in Pinas.


I will write the things we've done and places we've been to...If my memory serves me well. Heheh.


Til next post. :)

Zoe at Kid's Dash 2011

Backtrack 1 month. :)

Last Dec 2011, Zoe participated in Standard Chartered Kid's Dash 2011. I thought only Daddy will run with her. Pero napasubo kme. Ate Inday, Wacks & I braved the heat and ran (actually walked hehe) the 750m route. I did not know that we can also run with them. 

Here's a snippet of the video while Zoe was running with Daddy.

Zoe (with yellow hat) running with Daddy

After the race, all the kids who participated was given a medal. So proud of Ate Zoe!

Ate Zoe's first medal :)

Daddy asked her if she wants to run again. Without blinking she replied, "NO!". hahaha! 

This year, Wacks is joining Ate Zoe! Excited. :)
