Dr Trenyce Wong

Trenyce is recently into this doctor fetish. She would get us to sit down for her to check on us or otherwise she wouuld get her stuff toys to pretend as her patients. So you can see how many patients she generally has....hehehe..

The doctor kit set was from the grandparents.

Bidding Goodbye to Musical Fountain @Sentosa

We brought Trenyce to Sentosa last Sunday as Hubby has read from the newspapers that the musical fountain will be torn down soon, by end of this month, so we decided to bring Trenyce to witness the last few magical moments of the musical fountain.

Hubby and Trenyce have never taken Singapore's cable car, and I have not taken the cable car for a while too....at least 10 years I think....so, we decided to go over Sentosa by cable car. Trenyce enjoyed the cable car ride but I cant say so for hubby...haha...He has some phobia for heights so he doesnt really appreciate the nice cable car view:p

By 6.15pm, the audience area was opened for admission so, we went in hoping to get a good seat with a nice view of the musical fountain works. The problem is the show will only starts at 7.40pm hence we got to entertain the little girl with snacks and drinks for the next hour otherwise she wont be sitting nicely with us. Just when she finished her food, it was about time for the show to commence so, everyone was sitting nicely waiting for the grand musical works except my little girl. She just cried and cried...and yelling to go home....and so, after waiting for more than an hour for the musical works, we only get to watch a mere 10 minutes show! What a letdown! But what to do leh.....I have to admit though that the musical works were a little scary for little children below 5 years old.

Anyway, it was good too...becos the journey back to Mount Faber was a smooth one as everyone was still captivated by the magnificent musical works so no one to fight with us to get back to the main island....hahaha...sour grapes right :p

Well, at least Trenyce enjoyed the cable car ride and we managed to bid farewell to the musical fountains before it was gone......so it was not a trip wasted afterall.... Mood: Entertained

My other rusty blog

Today, for no reason...I started missing my other blog, from livejournal, which I started long ago. Though I started blogger less than a year, I actually started blogging as early as 2001! Digging back to that rusty blog, yeah I started the blog on 4th May 2001…Must be really rusty now cos I havent touched those blogs for ages... Yeah, those blogs….I have 2 blogs previously actually :p Surprise! Haha…actually not my intention to hold 2 blogs then becos I accidentally lost my login password to the 1st blog due to "lack of activities" (infrequent blogging) and what's adds on to the problem is that the email addy I used to register for this blog has been deactivated as the host has decided to start charging for its free email account.

I am seriously thinking of restarting that rusty journal for myself.....so that this blog will be mainly on my motherhood, family......whereas that rusty blog will dedicate just for myself.......

So, check it out!

New Parenting Site from Disney

Mummies, have you heard? Walt Disney is launching a new parenting site!

According to the news:
"The Walt Disney Co. is launching a new web site aimed at moms who are increasingly turning to the Internet for answers to everything from problems with teething babies to financing college. The new site, Disney Family , is a one-stop site for parents, especially mothers, providing everything from Internet search to user-generated articles on key topics such as education and food, and, eventually, a "ParentPedia," a compilation of information on 1,000 topics that can be expanded by users. "

Wow! Sounds exciting right? I couldnt wait and took a quick tour of the site...The topics looked great! Guess what I found? Recipes for the kiddies hahahaha.... Gona explore more on that and see if I can apply any of the suggestions on my cooking...hehehe

Wokkingmum, go explore it, there is some articles on arts & crafts too! :)

Tag: Safeguard the Web for Our Children

I have been tagged by Wokkingmum and mumsgather for a good cause :) Though my little gal is barely 3, but I am sure I will get really worry if one day I find my gal accessing the porn sites. So mummies, daddies and bloggers out there, pls help to support this good cause for our little ones!

And if you can, pls post the common sense request to all the “adult site” webmasters on your site:

"Please require a password-protected login before allowing even free access to explicit adult content. We understand that selling porn is your business and we respect your right to make a legal living. But understand our legitimate concerns and work with us. You already have the “warning adult content” on your websites. Yet kids, who are not legal customers of your product, ignore the warning. So to prevent them from having direct access to explicit images, texts and sounds, the simplest way is to have a password-protected login. No more “free tours” before a visitor supplies basic information. "

Pls, if you saw this message, you are tagged!

Moody Trenyce

Trenyce was extremely happy to see me and hubby back from work today and was also extremely clingy to us. After we finished dinner, she simply clinged onto me like a baby kola bear hugging the mommy kola bear. And she will cry if I didnt pay attention to her like play with her and sat there reading my newspaper. I guess she must have gotten used to us being around her for the whole of last week and suddely feel lost when she doesnt get to see us the entire day. Poor little darling.

She was almost tearing when I made her sleep and she couldnt answer me when I asked her whats wrong. In the end, I gotta make her sit on my lap and explained to her that mommy and daddy got to work and earn money home so as to bring her to zoo (err...not a very good reason but enough to pacify her) and buy her toys (i.e the pizza hut toys). And I told her to ask gonggong and ah ma to call us if she misses us and wants to speak to us. She seems to understand me and nodded her head, no longer tearing. Then I quietly patted her to sleep. So heartpain to see my little gal cry.

Teleconversation

I was talking to my cousin over the phone just a while ago, thanking her for the dress she got for Trenyce. She very "you xing", bought dresses for Trenyce every CNY, since last year. We were having a mandarin teleconversation. Not expecting Trenyce to understand a single word, I passed the phone to Trenyce asking her to say 'thank you yi yi (auntie in mandarin)' to my cousin. Much to my amaze, she blurted out:"Thank you yi yi for the dress". Wow man, she understands what we are chatting about? And I am really impressed she can speak so well!

New Blog

I have just started a new blog on cooking :P Not that I can cook very well but I am very inspired to cook well haha...Yeah, to also prepare myself to be a full-time SAHM in the near future (actually duno when hahaha :P)

I may be very slow in updating this blog in the beginning as I only have weekends to work on my recipes but I suppose if I dont ever start this blog, it will take forever for me to do something that I like (I suppose I am a person with plenty of interests but no hobbies :P). Ok, do give me your support so that I can continue this cooking journey yah :)

At the moment, I am using blogspot to host that blog though I find blogspot getting very "jammed" (sometimes having problems updating my blog and in the process wasted alot of precious time to wait or even rewrite) but I havnt got time to look for other blog providers. I wanted this blog to link with my parent blog so perhaps I will just stuck with blogspot if its gonna be very complicated to link up with other blog providers.

Ok, pls welcome *drums roll* MOMMY CAN COOK!

Visit to Ikea & ToysRUs

(1) Ikea
Brought Trenyce to Alexandra Ikea last night. She was so busy posing at the lighting display area and kept asking me to "take photo here" ;D





There were also some very nice children's room decorations. We were so tempt to buy the furniture to decorate Trenyce's room. Well, unfortunately she doesnt has a room now so we get to save our pocket hehe :p We put Trenyce up onto one of the beds. She was admiring the little stars on the tent...


(2) United Square
We went to United Square this afternoon. Trenyce seems bored at home and become really restless, so we brought her to ToysRus. Of course, that would mean we would burn a small hole in our pocket :p Ater walking around for a while, Trenyce (a girl being a girl) becomes very interested in the kitchen section with all the cooking wares and etc. What caught her attention was the Macdonald set and Pizza Hut set. She hung around the area, looking intently at every piece of Mac and PH cute little miniatures, couldnt bear to move herself away. And finally, she broke out:"I want Macdonald plsss...." pleading us to get the toys for her. I was talking to hubby, deciding which set to get for her:

Me: (handing over the PH set to hubby) Mac set has too many paper pieces, she will spoil it in no time. PH set is better.

Hubby: (took the PH set and glanced thru the details) same lah. PH set also got paper pieces and Mac set seems to have more toys than PH set.

Me: (looked at the PH set again then Mac set) Oh yah hor. Ok loh, get the Mac set.

While we were discussing, Trenyce was already holding the PH set observing the little details of the pizza toys. By the time we made the decision to get the Mac set for her, which she wanted originally, she has already been "convinced" to get the PH set. She told us:" This one better (pointing to the PH set), that one too many paper (imitating me, referring to the Mac set)"

Really buay tahan this girl, hahaha...Nowadays, she can really imitate us very well :D

See this, she looks like she really can play piano yah? That's just a kiddy piano at ToysRus :p

Mood: Amusing

Bolster Case

I wanted to get new pillow and bolster cases for my girl for this coming CNY. The current ones are actually passed-downs from her cousins. It seems simple but mind you, this is not an easy task as you think hor.

My little girl has this strange affection for strings since young. The bolster case she uses must come with strings and she will declare war with you for that by refusing to go to bed if you change hers to one without the strings. Nobody, including the grandparents, can make her sleep and she will wail and wail till you give in. It is not that I like to defy her wishes but the problem is you can hardly get bolster case replacements with strings nowadays as it mostly rubberized. What adds on to the tedious task of searching the stringy bolster case is because my little girl is using her baby bolster! (Well, actually she has 2 bolsters – the small baby bolster and big baby bolster. Eventually, I hope to upgrade her to the toddler bolster.) I have been searching everywhere, Robinsons, John Little, Kiddy Palace, Aussino Kids…etc almost anywhere selling babies/kiddies’ stuff that I passed by while shopping…

So one fine day, I really cannot tahan already and complained to my mother. Guess what she suggested? She advised me to retrofit the cases and sew the strings myself haha… My mother is an experienced seamstress so complaining to her is a wise decision! :p Actually would be better if she volunteer her services lah but then now is her peak period preparing for cny, better not "ka-jiao" (meaning disturbed in cantonese) her... So, last night I bought the cases from Kiddy’s Palace and started removing the rubberized thingy and replacing it with the strings. It took me 2 hours just to complete one small baby bolster and there is another big baby bolster waiting for me to work on tonight. I would say this is some work lah but not exactly very tedious, I am just glad that I manage to get replacements for her really-old bolster cases :)
