SG Dec'11 - Flyer

Singapore Flyer

We went to Singapore Flyer on our 2nd day evening in SG.

Weather was not good that evening, raining day. Not able to see sunset there.

弟弟 did not scare going high high as it moved very slow and you won't really feel it's moving.

In fact, I was a bit scared as I know the Flyer was moving at very high position as I can see from the view.

Down from the Flyer, it's time for dinner.

Just at the Ground Floor (if not mistaken) there is a hawker center named Singapore Food Trail. There are lots of hawker food and we had our dinner there.

I had my favorite Hokkien Char, a bit different from Penang style but still taste good for me.

Mommy had Satay Mee Hoon, sound special, right? Not bad, curry taste.

We did try the Fried Oyster as well, taste good.

Overall the food over there is good for us and we did enjoy the dinner.

2011 Year End Countdown @ SG

Our 2011 Year End countdown happened in Singapore.

Special THANKS to 舅舅 that arranged for us to experience the countdown in SG.

We checked in The Fullerton Hotel on 31st Dec.

With Year End Countdown package, we were entitled to watch the fireworks at the One Fullerton rooftop.

Hotel decoration for Christmas & welcome New Year 2012.

The Christmas Tree is made of little Teddies.

As the hotel guest, we got this little teddy as festive gift.

See the yellow balloons on the ceiling?

There are thousands of balloon up there and ready for new year countdown.

Mommy said those balloons will be dropping down during the countdown, but we didn't see it as we were up to rooftop to watch fireworks.

Afternoon about 5pm, we had a walk along the Marina Bay area.

People already started to camp there waiting for the countdown.

All the nearby restaurants fully booked for the countdown party as well.

Road closed at 6pm, not easy for us to go out and there will be heavy traffic jammed as well.

舅舅 helped to "ta pao" some dinner for us and we had our year end dinner in the hotel room.

See...got Fried Oyster, Fried Rice, Hokkien Char, Satay, Otak-Otak, Poh Piah....etc.

The crowd down the road at night, all were going for the countdown.

弟弟 is very happy up on the rooftop, he did enjoy the fireworks but the smoke and sound is kind of annoy for him.

After this experience, whenever he saw fireworks or the photo, he will said : "bomb...bomb...美美..."

3...2...1....bomb!....Welcome 2012 with spectacular fireworks.

Chinese New Year 2012

Time flies...and it flies really fast...

Now it's time to celebrate Chinese New Year - year of Dragon.

After we back from Singapore trip, mommy got no time to organize all those photos and post our trip as well. She has to start busy on CNY preparation such as baking cookies, buying those new year's stuff, buy new clothes for us...etc.

This year she baked pineapple cookies & fried crab stick.

She did buy some ingredients to bake the dragon cookies as previous year, but she didn'tmake any at the end. Why? No time.

This year 姨姨 back on the 2nd day of CNY, so happen that 舅舅 still here, they got chance to meet up. Previous year 姨姨&舅舅 back on different day and they usually not able to meet each other.

We take this opportunity to take our family photo.

三代同堂

As usual, we will visit to Kek Lok Si temple on CNY.

This year, 姨姨 is following us there as well.

We went on 2nd day of CNY, expected to have bad traffic jam and parking problem.

We only managed to visit the 观音 area as there was a long long queue for the tram ride toward Kek Lok Si temple.

We didn't want to queue as BB Eugene is along, he started to make noise when we wait for too long.

All the kids...except 姨姨

My 6-year-old Birthday

It's my birthday and I turn 6 today.

This birthday is kind of special for me as there are so many first time.

First time I celebrate my birthday at Ah Mah's house. We didn't go to restaurant, we didn't celebrate at school, we have a very traditional birthday celebration at home. As papa is not around, we celebrate at Ah Mah's house. This is also first time papa didn't celebrate together on my birthday.

Mommy baked a birthday cake for me, decorated with my favorite: sweets and marshmallow.

This is my first homemade birthday cake from mommy.

Ah Mah helped to prepare the others like chicken, fried noodles, red eggs and jelly.

Mommy did fry some prawn tempura and fish finger as well.

弟弟 non-stop eating the sweets and marshmallow while we were taking photo.

Blowing the candle...

Cutting the cake...

And finally enjoying the cake...

Year End Holiday - SG Dec11

We spent our year end holiday in Singapore for 2011.

It's really year end, as our holiday started on 27th and ended on 1st Jan. What a great memory!

This is 弟弟 first trip to Singapore and it's my second trip. My first trip was when I was 17months old.

This trip we saw a lot of elephant in SG, everywhere...

That is Elephant Parade is in Singapore! It's an exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks public awareness and support for Asian elephant conservation.

You can find the details info and elephant photo here.

Total there are 162 elephants but we only managed to take photo with 59 elephants.

We missed few on our first day to SG as that time I still not really like to take photo with those elephants.

Visit to dental again

Today I visit to dental again to pull out my central incisor on my upper teeth as it's going to fall out.

This is my 3rd tooth that pulled out so far.

To help me remember which tooth has been replaced to permanent teeth, below is my tooth charts that mommy help to make for me.

The pink cross mark is today pulled out tooth.

The blue cross marks was pulled out last year.

Mommy copied the above teeth picture from Tooth Charts for Adults and Children.

This website provides tooth charts for Primary & Permanent Teeth. It also helps us to name the teeth. Primary teeth development chart also available there as it tells us the the primary tooth emerges and when the tooth falls out. We found it a very informative website about tooth charts.

2011 Christmas

2011 Christmas is a different christmas to me so far.

Previous years, we will be having buffet dinner on Christmas Eve and this does not change for year 2011. But why I said this year is so special?

This year I am the caroller!

I joint our school event which we need to be carollers in hotels.

We went to 3 hotels on Christmas Eve which are: Gurney Hotel, Northam Hotel and E&O Hotel.

On Christmas Day, we only went to E&O hotel but there are 2 performance which at 5pm & 7pm.

Mommy purposely arranged the buffet dinner on Christmas Eve at E&O Hotel so that they can meet me there and also fetch me home from there.

Singing of carols

Do you see 弟弟 on the right corner?

We just sang in front of mommy's dinning table and 弟弟 wanted to join our carolling.

After the carolling, hotel did provide us some snacks, enjoying together with my friends.

We also got a souvenir after the carolling

Finally, took a photo with my best friend in front of Christmas tree.

Interview & Test -- Result

Remember I went to an interview & test on November for the early entry to Standard 1?

Just after we reached Ah Mah's house after our year end holiday, we immediately went to check the mail box as we were suppose to receive the notification letter by end of Dec.

Yes, we received the letter but I am failed to enter Standard 1 a year earlier.

My application has been rejected and failed.

Don't know when the letter reached as we were not around since 27th but the date on the letter was 27-Dec.

That means I have to go for another year of K2.

Mommy will be helped me to register for a new kindergarten.
