Play: Bear & Chicken Go Camping (21st Mar 09)

Bought tickets for 爸爸&Trenyce姐姐 to watch this play on 21st Mar 09. Seems interesting based on the synopsis given. This is a story about 2 best friends, Chicken and Bear go on a camping adventure and their discoveries in the Great Outdoors, like what makes a shooting star leap across the sky etc.... Its recommended for children betw 2-6 years old. Compared to Disney on Ice, I preferred to spend my bucks on something that's more educational. And by introdicing to plays, I also hope to expose her to arts and cultivate her interests in this area =)

Unfortunately, 爸爸forgot to bring camera so I dont know whats exactly they have watched but I can tell from 姐姐 expression that she enjoyed the show and she wanted more of such shows! Hmm...am thinking of getting the tix to ACE!2009 Festival for her to watch. There's a pretty interesting one called "How the giraffe got its neck".....hmm....

Cycling at home?

爸爸 bought a new bicycle....but you can only cycle at home =p The kids were busy exploring the bike when it arrived on Monday (9th Mar09). But they are not cycling correctly....look....

But if they were to 'cycle' properly, thats how far they can reach the handle bar. Kaden弟弟 demonstrating the right way to use it... kekeke

Going in and out of clinics (8th & 9th Mar 09)

Recently, I have been going in and out of clinics frequently for my 2 kids.

Firstly, Trenyce姐姐 ran into higher fever of above 39deg. We quickly sent her to our nearby 24hr clinic. Besides giving us Neurofen, the doctor also inserted a med capsule into her buttock to help relieve the high fever. As usual, I didn’t sleep for the whole nigh, waking up every 2 hours to check on her fever making sure that she doesn’t run into high fever again. Luckily, everything went well. She was still slightly feverish when she woke up the next morning so I quickly gave her another dose of fever medicine. Thank god that she was alright after that.

The following day, we brought Kaden弟弟 to Hougang polyclinic for his chickenpox injection. As it was raining that day, so everything went pretty fast as there wasnt many patients. We were done within 45mins including the queue to pay for the injection. This was the fastest I ever get everything done at the polyclinic! =p

I was also happy to discover that the drapolene nappy cream sold at the pharmacy was so much cheaper than anywhere I can find now! It costs $8.60 per bundle of two where it costs me $11.50 at guardian pharmacy where I usually got my stocks from. Guess how much I bought? A dozen! 爸爸 was shocked that I bought so much and asked me if its really this cheap and whether it will expire before 妹妹got a chance to use them hahaha! Of course you bet it is! Things are expensive nowadays so if don’t grab while on sales then difficult to save $$ loh. Mummies all very calculative (精打细算) otherwise how to maintain the family expenses right?

Shopping at Plaza Singapura (7th Mar 09)

Went to Carrefour (at Plaza Singapura) with inlaws & Kaden弟 弟 today as爸爸 had to bring Trenyce姐姐 for her music class at Yahama. Little boy is so happy, mumbling ‘mummum’ (meaning food) everywhere he goes in the supermarket as we were busy picking the offered food items from the shelves.

We also ordered 2 pieces of new furniture, a sofa set and a single bed, which will be delivered in early April. The decision to replace the daybed didn’t come abruptly. We had this intention to change our current ‘sofa’ aka daybed for quite a while and were thinking of buying only when we shifted to our new home. But guess buying a house is not that simple and we do not foresee that to happen any sooner as Im so near to my EDD. The main reason to replace the sofa is to prevent ‘future’ injury as we noticed that Kaden弟 弟 has gotten a few injuries as a result of knocking at the corners of the daybed. Most importantly, we are also afraid that we wont be able to watch over Kaden弟 弟 24hrs as our new addition is coming to join us very soon.

Mood: Relax

Bottle Tree Park (1st Mar 09)

Brought Trenyce姐姐 and Kaden弟弟 to Bottle Tree Park along the mrt track to Katib Stn. They have another branch at Sembawang Park but 爸爸decided to come here instead as its nearer to our place. Well, generally dont find anything 'exciting' here....say its kampong, well can see that they try very hard to design the place to be 'kampong' but the place just doesnt bring out the kampong feeling...err, know what I meant? Anyways, the place is more suitable for kids above 4yo so as usual, Trenyce姐姐 gets to enjoy herself while Kaden弟弟只有看的份 =p

The famous Bottle Tree.

Thats how big a Bottle Tree is.......
