Goodbye .. my dear Lao Gu ..

This is my Lao Gu ..

Actually my impression of Lao Gu is a strict and fierce man. Mummy told me that when they were small, Lao Gu will scold them for being noisy and notty. Hence, nobody really dares to go too close to him.

When we heard that Lao Gu was sick abt a mth ago, we went to visit him a few times and we realised the nice and warmth side of Lao Gu. Tho' he is very sick, Lao Gu still insist to bravely walk ard with his own strength. Tho' he has his own health to take care of, Lao Gu will still ask abt everybody .. Lao Yee's gastric pain, Ah Ma's work, Ah Gong's constipation .. tho' he neva used to show it, he actually cares and knew abt the condition of everyone in the family. Even when he overheard Papa asking ah ma how to cook Lo Duck, he chipped in with his knowledge.

27 Dec .. Lao Gu's condition suddenly worsen. He was admitted to the hospital and the doc. says the cancer cell had spreaded all over. Towards the end, tho' he no longer has the strength to speak, he would still waves his hand to his visitors. He showed Lao Yee a 'thumbs up' sign. Finally on 28 Dec, 1239hrs, Lao Gu left us.

Good bye Lao Gu .. U r truly a brave warrior and hero. We will always remember you. . .. Rest In Peace ..

27 Dec, Saturday @ 3.45pm

Time is 3.45pm on a Saturday afternoon ..



Here's Papa Piggy



and .. the baby Piglet

25 Dec - Christmas Day

It's Xmas day so Mummy and Daddy are not working. We slept abit late and woke up at 9.30am. Nuah nuah abit and mummy suggested going to the airport .. so we went.

We went to T1 for lunch 1st .. mummy's favourite Ah Yong curry rice. After that, we took the skytrain to T3. Our airport is so nice and spacious. Just running ard it makes me happy.

There are alot of Mickey and friends figures all over T3 and we took some pix. Too bad it's not a show day, if not I can meet Mickey in person.

We also went to the Viewing gallery to see the plane .. wow, they are BIG !! Mummy says when I am abit older, she will bring me holiday in a plane .. :)

Xmas Eve

Today is Xmas eve ..

It is a wet morning .. was raining when I woke up. Daddy told me I can follow him to his office today, so I quickly got up and changed into my Gai gai clothes. After sending mummy to work, we head to Daddy's ofc. Coincidentally, Uncle Alex brot Malcolm and Auntie Limei brot Xiangyi to the ofc too, so I had some friends to play wif. Alot of aunties and uncles gave me chocolate .. yummy yummy !! At abt 11am, we left the ofc to pick mummy up b4 proceeding to Uncle Roland (Daddy's boss) hse for Xmas party. This is e 2nd time I am going to Uncle Roland's big hse. .. and now wif BB Daniel, uncle Roland's hse has alot of new toys .. 3-4 Little Tikes ride on, slides, ball pool etc etc. Unfortunately it was raining so we could not swim in his pool. But i learnt a new ball game today .. e adult pool game. Mummy held my hand, we held a cue together and shoot the ball into the pocket. It was fun !!

Oh .. and I got a xmas gift fm Uncle roland .. it's $250 Toys r us voucher. Yeah .. I can ask mummy and daddy to buy me lotsa toys now.

I did not nap much today .. oni abt 20mins nap in e car while we were on e way to pick mummy. Yawns .. my eyelid felt so heavy now .. tink my eyes are closing soon.

Nite nte everybody .. and Me .. rry Xmaas ..

Getting ready for school

I am going to school coming Jan'09 .. Mummy bot 2 sets of sch uniform for me + 2 sets of PE attire. Here's me trying out my uniform to make sure they fit. Hmm .. e top seems too tight but the short is too long hor .. And, my mummy had also bot me a matching sweater (Blue and yellow) from the warehouse sales. Thanks mummy !!

My new 'sports'

After mummy told me abt the guy who completed the Swisssotel Vertical Marathon in 6 min and 52 sec, i haven been secretly practising for it at Yeye's hse. 1 .. 2 .. 1 .. 1 .. 2 .. 1 .. 2 ..

Xmas @ Vivo city

Went to Vivo city wif mummy, ah ma and lao yee. We took some pix at the tallest Xmas tree. Unfortunately, i was not careful and burnt my little finger .. ouch !!



Getting ready .. @ home



Jordan king


ah ma and lao yee



and tis is where i burnt my finger

But i soon forgotten abt it at the waterplay area.

Xmas shows

It's only 1 more week to Xmas .. All the malls are attracting customers to shop, so alot of them has Xmas shows. We went for a few of them ...

Sesame street @ Marina sq
We were late for the 7pm show. Lucikly it's not extremely crowded and mummy even managed to squeeze us thru' to a good position .. Just outside e fencing. I can still wave to Elmo and cookie monster.

Barney @ Plaza SIN
We went on a Fri evening again. Anticipating the crowd, we decided to try and rch earlier. We reached abt 6.50pm and oh my . . it was super crowded. As there is a bodyshop atrium sales, the security uncle does not allow us to hang ard e fence (like wat we did the last time). Luckily, mummy spotted Auntie Justina and dillion inside the fence and after abit of 'negotiaton', security uncle finally let us in. Yeah !!

Mr men show @ Compass point
This is mummy's fav. We went early for the 1pm show and managed to get a seat inside the fence. We met Mr Funny, Mr Bump, Mr Rude, Miss Sunshine, and Miss notty and even danced with them. It was a nice show.

Berry Xmas @ Hougang Mall
This was a coincident show. .. we went to HG mall after our lunch as mummy wanna buy some running shorts. So happened to see the show.. but it's so - so niah.

Baby Prom'09

06 Dec, we went for the SSO Baby prom. This show has very good review last year, so mummy decided to bring me. Maybe she is trying to cultivate some arts into me :p

Haircut

Tho' I am quite a lil' botak since young, but my hair IS growing longer and always tickling my ear. Past few times, Gu Gu has been shaving me bald, but now since it's nearer to Xmas and CNY, mummy decided to keep my hair longer so I look more handsome. Well, for the sake of being a handsome boy, I was kinda cooperative during the haircut. Even the barber uncle praised me.

Zoophonic Holiday Program

Mummy sent me for Zoophonic Holiday program. It's a 1 week program from 01-05 Dec, 1.5hrs each day. We had 1 Eric Carles story as the theme each day. During the class, we sing, story telling, did art and craft. My fav is the singing part.

Day 1 : Pancake, Pancake

Every lesson starts with some warm up singing. It's Day 1, so most kids are not attentive and doing their own stuff. The art n craft today was to paste the wood, fire, pans n pancake on e paper. Mummy too bz 'catching' me, she was not pay attention to the teacher too. End up, our pan cake was pasted on the pan, instead of 'tossed' in the air :p

Day 2 : My secret birthday message

Lesson 2. Already seeing some familiarity. At least when Teacher Noreen brings out e 'hello Tambourines', all the kids get ready their maracas. Tho' I am supposed to hit it once, I normally hit 2 or 3 times. hehe.

Day 3 : Papa, pls get the moon for me

Most kids are now familar with the songs, especially. Most will volunteerly get the 'Sun' from teacher Noreen for the 'Oh Mr Sun" song, and exchange it for the 'steering wheel' for the 'driving
song. Almost all can 'stop' when the song says 'stop' .. even playful me :p And of coz, our fav is the Bubble times at the end of the class.

Day 4 : Panda bear, panda bear .. what do u see?

Today was raining heavily, so Daddy was with me 1st half of e lesson. But he gots giddy with all the turning around, so mummy took over after the snack break.

Day 5 : The grouchy Ladybug

This is my fav story. The moment teacher Noreen brings out the ladybug, i said 'Bug bug' !! Today is the last lesson .. so we took some class foto for remembrance. We were also given a folder, where we can keep our master art piece.

As we are rushing for Sesame street show after class, we din chat much, and quickly wave bye bye to JK, auntie Leo and Uncle Soon and off we go. Overall, I tink i do enjoy my class.

Pre Xmas party

Had a little Xmas gathering at our hse today .. wif Joanie and JK + their mummies and JK's daddy joined us abt dinner time too.


We had some fun playing wif e balls and some party stuffs that Auntie agnes brot, took some nice pix and had pizza dinner. Oh well, actually mummies and daddies had pizza, we only get small bites :p But my daddy cooked us porridge and each if us had a bowl of Daddy's 'love' porridge before we went down to the playground to play.





















Now that we are older, we can climb up e stairs and down e slide w/o mummy holding us. It's so . oo much fun this way.









This pix is so classic .. haha



Said bye bye to my friends at abt 7pm.

Busy busy long weekends

This week is a long weekend as Mon (08 dec) is Hari Raya, so mummy and daddy dun hv to go to work. For me, it's a fun-filled packed 3 days .. or rather 4 days (since Fri)..

Friday : Zoophonic last class. Took some nice class pix with my classmates and teacher Noreen b4 saying bye bye to them. Gotta rush off as mummy n daddy is bringing me to Marina sq for the sesame street show. We were late and show oredi started. .. but my mummy still managed to squeeze herself n me into a fantastic spot . .. right in e middle, juz outside the fence. I waved at Elmo and he waves back .. so exciting :)

Saturday : SSO baby prom. This once a yr show seems very popular. Luckily mummy for Auntie Meihua to buy the tixs for us. It was a nice show .. the conductor, Mr Peter Moore allows us kids to roam ard the place. The last part of the show, we were even allowed on stage to be close to the SSO performers.

**After the show, my blur mummy wanna bring me to watch the Barney show at Plaza Sin, only to realise the show only starting 09 Dec so we went AMK hub instead **

At night, we went to visit Lao Gu who is sick. I can see dat Ah Ma is very sad .. I really hope he will get well soon ..

Sunday : Mummy bring me and ah ma and lao yee to Vivo city. There's a very tall xmas tree there. But i din noticed the warning on e light bulb and scald my finger .. so painful. The color turns white .. I tink it's semi cooked. But when mummy brot me to play at the waterplay area, I forgot abt my pain and had fun there. kakaka ..

Monday : We had a May babies gathering at Sol playground. After that, we went Compass point to shop for birthday present for Uncle Chuan. In the evening, we went to his place for a pot luck birthday party.

Gathering of the May babies

Yesterday, we had a mini gathering with some of the May babies .. mini coz there's only 5 babies .. Auntie Karen and Kaelyn, Auntie Janice and Javen, Auntie Fion and Jonas, and Auntie Janet and .... oh oh, i forgot her name :p

And we also met Auntie Maureen and Jeremy.

We met at Sol playgound @ Turf City in the morning. As it was raining, mummy asked me stayed in the indoor play area and play. It was quite crowded but we still share share our toys and play together. We played and ate our lunch, till abt 12+ than we left for home .. i was sooo sleepy and straight away slept in the car on e way back.

It was nice meeting some new friends, and nice to meet up wif the 'old' friends too :)
