Barney 'Live'

Brought Trenyce to watch Barney performance at Plaza Singapura on Tuesday(13June06). It was total madness! Crowded with children and parents already on its first day here!

Unfortunately, we only managed to get a seat at the side of the stage so the shots were not so great. Anyway, Barney and gang will be around from 13-18Jun so probably will go down again on Sat to get a good seat so could take nice pics for Trenyce for remembrance :p

We could see that Trenyce enjoyed herself thoroughly, sang and danced with the Barney gang. At one point, she even screamed loudly as if to cheer for Barney & his team! Mommies besides us were looking and smiling at us when they saw how sportaneous Trenyce was haha.... I suppose the cutiest moment was when she saw the Barney gang came out from the backstage one by one, she looked so stunned as if she couldnt believe the characters she been watching everyday on TV are all now standing right in front of her! She couldnt even answered me when I asked her who they were!

Bus Ride

I realize children have this funny affection for buses. Trenyce always asks us to take her on bus ride whenever she sees buses pass thru our neighbourhood. The same goes for my nephews. They will be so happy sitting on the bus exploring the surroundings.

Last Saturday, as usual, we went out for our dinner. To accede to trenyce’s request to “sit bus”, we decided to take bus 315 to Serangoon Garden market for dinner. While waiting for the bus at the bus-stop, daddy (DD) and Trenyce (BB) striked an interesting conversation:

DD: Trenyce, do you want to take bus or car?

BB: Bus!

DD: (not giving up, DD asked again) Trenyce, do you want to take car or bus?

BB: Car!

DD: Okay, then shall we go and take car now?

BB: (shakes her head) Bus…bus..bus

Not giving up, Daddy paused for a while and asked the same questions again.

DD: Daddy asked you again huh. Do you want to take bus or car?

BB: Bus!

DD: Trenyce, do you want to take car or bus?

BB: Car!

DD: So you want car isit? Let’s go to the car, okay?

BB: (almost going to cry, shaking her head) Bus..bus…

DD: Okay, daddy asked one last time huh. Do you want bus or car?

BB: Bus!

DD: Trenyce, do you want car or bus?

BB: Car! (then suddenly realized she said car again. She quickly shook her head and waved her hand frantically to indicate that she did not want to take car. Almost tearing already) No car! No car!

DD: (DD finally gave in to her) Okay, okay. We will wait for the bus, okay.

The bus finally arrived 5 mins later.

A touching story

A brand-new, free Chinese newspaper, MyPaper hits the streets today. While flipping thru the new edition, there was this article that deeply touched my heart. This is a real-life story of a mother who lost her 8-mth old. The name of the bb boy is Evens. He suffered from some heart problems and died suddenly about 9 weeks ago. As I read her journal, I shed tears many times (even though I am in the office).

Unfortunately, MyPaper does not have the webversion so I cant really share much of what this writer, who currently resides at Taiwan, has written. But I am glad she shared the story with us. It makes me realise how precious our little dearies are. To see them growing strong and healthy is truly the best gift our heavenly father can ever give us.
