What the year means

2007 means I'm in K1. 2008 means I'm in K2. In other words, I'm a year older and soon I will be graduating from Lutheran Childcare Centre.

On the whole, it has been a great year for me. I had so much fun; so many playdates (means I get to pontang school).
This evening, we went out for dinner to mark the end of 2007 and bring in a happier and more fun new year. Yay!

Some photos to share :


Today

Today is 31st. I don't understand mummy when she said I'm in K1 on Monday - 31st and I'll be in K2 on Wednesday. Huh?

Anyway, mummy decided NOT to bring me to school today coz' it's half day and she didn't want to waste the time waiting for me away.
You think I had a good time at home? No! I had to do some worksheets and play some toys, which mummy sat down next to me to see how I do. I wanted to play the Island Princess playset but she said with a firm "No". I'm so sad...

What I've been up to

22nd December - Saturday
The last time daddy brought me to the movies was in late September. So today daddy decided to bring me to watch Alvin And The Chipmunks. We bought the tickets and walked over to the Chicken Rice stall to have our dinner.
On our way back, the lights were up. So we stopped to have some photos taken. Er.....I mean me. Daddy say I'm very vain in these photos.
We proceeded to the theatre and I took one booster seat for myself.

The show is so funny & I laughed very loudly. I told daddy I want to be Simon coz' I think he's cute, and my mei-mei is Theodore coz' they say she's the baby just like Theodore is.

After the show, we walked around Plaza Singapura for a short while before we left for home.

24th December
It seems like a long time since I last went to school. Mummy brought me to school, only to find out that it's half day in school. I thought I saw mummy walking to and fro. I guess she is busy... then she brought me out earlier and we went to the sinseh for my follow-up before the clinic close at 12pm.
Mummy's initial plan was to shop without us around then bring us to see sinseh at 7pm, but then it's all God's plan.. he wants me to go shopping today. Heehee!
Wow! Mummy really shopped alot. We then went back to mama's house - unplanned too - coz mummy need to drop some things there.
Daddy came back from work early so he went over to mama's house. We went back to Century Square; walked around and then we had our dinner at Billy Bombers. I had the kids meal Walnut Fish and Wedges.
Green Elf
Cheers!
Drinking my soup...err...a few spoonfuls I mean
My fish!
Mummy didn't allow me to eat my ice-cream. She gave me only 2 small mouth of it. Sob.. In the night, mummy asked me to write a letter to Santa. I drew alot of hearts and told him I love him... so that he can give me more presents Gave him a box of corn flakes. Well it's something very different so hopefully Santa will give me many presents. 25th December - Tuesday
Woke up in a cheery mood coz' it's Christmas Day! I looked out of my window but it's not snowing..... why? I thought I've seen it snowing on TV. As I jumped out of my bed, the Milo and Cornflakes are gone!! And in place, I have a stocking!! Ay.....this stocking looks familiar. I think Santa gave the same one as he did last year???
Ahem.. ahem... I opened the bag and saw some things. By then I kindda deduce that Santa is mommy; mommy is Santa - coz' I saw her buying the bubble thing yesterday.
Though I did appear sad that Santa didn't take my letter to him. So I'm still hoping that Santa exist.

Yay! Finally I get to open the presents under our huge Christmas tree.

That's my Andrea in a Santarina dress under our 6ft tree Only 5 of us in the family but so many presents. And I know why.........coz' mummy bought me alot of presents. Jachelle also gave me present. I think it's really nice of her to write these words on her wrapping paper.

Does it mean we get to be the best-est friend forever? I hope so! But then I won't be going to the same primary school as her so.... I hope we still can remain as friends forever.

My presents this year :
From mummy
From Aunty Siu Hwee and Kayoko
From Jachelle
From daddy
From mummy (again)
From mummy (again??) - actually I saw this dress yesterday. Asked mummy to buy for me... and then she wrapped it up. So naughty...no wonder I was looking for the dress last night.
From Aunty Zet
From one of daddy's colleagues
Then we went to mama's house for Christmas lunch. I wore the new dress but it was too long. It keep slipping off my shoulder.
I also brought Andrea along to show off to everyone. Mei-mei wore the red dress I used before, mummy made a simple black belt and she became Santarina.

Dua-gu made a fireplace to look like what I see in TV. I should have asked dua-gu to make snow outside my window and let it snow non-stop.

Here's me, mei-mei and di-di
My boh-liao mummy took this
During the lunch,mummy asked me to talk to people. Huh? Talk to who? My friends are not here. Talk to the old people?? Wrong frequency.

Grandma, me and Grandpa
Andrea by herself. I think I forgot to feed her.... oh poor girl!
It's time to open my presents. Yay! Opening this up - this is from dua-gu and dua-kim. Stress! The camera is on me, I better smile!! Present from Yishun ma-ma
Mummy then remembered she have 3 bags for us. She gave each of us small things. I think I want to remain a child forever! All of us have the same thing. A box of Pigeon snacks (which mummy had to take out the box); one Pigeon drink; two squeaky car toys and a snow-globe pencil.

Ma-ma also gave me a present. A Kiddy Palace voucher to buy what I want, which always have to go through mummy's approval. Not fair!!
About 4 hours later, we had to leave ma-ma's house. Mummy said I cannot stay overnight coz' she wants to spend more time with me. But I can stay tomorrow night.
Anyway, in the car I couldn't take it anymore.....

Going once
twice and.......huh? sleep already?
It was such a tiring day. I have to go to school tomorrow

26th December - Wednesday
There's no music lesson tonight, so mummy allowed me to stay over at mama's house. But I don't understand why mummy insisted that I go to school today. And worst still, I had to bring a small pail and a cloth to school.
Then I knew why ..... we have a few che-ches who came by to help us. I had to clean up my cubby hole. It's Cleaning Day!! Then I wish I am Cinderella in my school uniform scrubbing the floor and *pomf* my fairy godmother comes and uses her magic wand and turn my torn and tattered school uniform into a nice dress.
Wah.... I clean and clean but fairy godmother never come at all. But it's okay, I had fun... coz' mummy never allow me to do this at home. She says I mess up the house.

In the afternoon, after our nap, we played games. And so.. I spent the whole day in school today.

27th December - Thursday
Dua-gu fetched me back to Punggol today. I think it's my playdate today.
We went to VivoCity. Mummy told me that Jachelle is coming too and I'm so happy...but in the end mummy said Aunty forgot all about it and sent her to school. In the end, it's left with Alexandra and me. It's okay, we always play together so I had so much fun. Afterall, how often does mummy pull me out from school to play?

We met and had our lunch at Carl's Jnr. Then we went out to play in the water.

After cleaning us up, we went to the Pet Safari where Alexandra and myself saw so many dogs. And we even saw how they groomed dogs.
We then played in Toys R Us, where mummy bought me a playset for my Island Princess Barbie doll.
After some time, I noticed Alexandra sat down in her stroller. I also went back to my stroller, mummy brought out the PPG one so that I can sit in it. Then, mummy and Aunty Angeline decided to end the playdate as we're both tired.
Some videos :



Well...I managed to rest awhile before they went into a bear shop, where they made a bear for Ian. Yay! So it means now Andrea has company? Otherwise it can get beary lonely. I was awake and then I konked out. I don't know for how long, but I'm glad that when I woke up we were in a restaurant and I was not thrown away in the rubbish dump.

Back at home, mummy let me open more presents from Godma. She said one present is for my birthday and another one for Christmas. I wonder when Godma will bring me out, it's been a long long time since she brought me out. And I don't know if she still likes me coz' I remember seeing her carrying mei-mei in the hospital and I told ah-yi that "Godma don't like me anymore coz' she carry mei-mei."

My birthday present
Opening up my Christmas present


28th December - Friday
School is closed today. Daddy didn't go to work today too. So they brought me to the sinseh for follow-up and to Ikea. I didn't go to the playground coz' I'm really tired. So I had my lunch there and then we went over to Giant, did a little shopping before going back home. At Giant, I bumped into Wei Teng and Lennon. Wow.......it does really feel really long ago since I last went to school.

29th December - Saturday
Mummy had to go for Jayden's full month party. I followed daddy to Jurong ma-ma's house. Da-gu gave me something to play. It makes noise when I turn the tube upside down. Then I heard mummy saying that she will have to bring me to Science Centre one day. What's hat place, any toys to play there?
We went back to fetch mummy and went to Vivocity. Walked around a little and we left for home at about 8+.
