小大人的世界

One weekend night, I drove to the MRT station to pick Dear up from his company event with the 2 bunnies... In the car...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mummy : Daddy, Kaden learnt to spell 3 new words just now? Kaden, can you spell it for Daddy?

Big Bunny : Mummy, cannot. Now is not spelling time. It is car sitting time...

Mummy : @_@ ||||||||||||||||||

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daddy : Mummy, do you like boys?

Mummy : No!

Big Bunny : Mummy likes girls more. Because boys are noisy and girls are not. Correct, Mummy?

Mummy : Yes, dear. Absolutely. Mummy likes quiet girls.

5 minutes later...

The bunnies started playing by themselves at the back of the car...
Daddy and Mummy started to chit chat on their own...

Big Bunny : Mummy, you cannot talk... Girls are supposed to quiet!!

Mummy : @_@ ||||||||||||||||||

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mummy : 0
Big Bunny : 2

Fooling Around in AMK Hub

We had dinner at AMK Hub last Saturday. As it was the beginning of the March school holidays, the monsters were out to play and dance for us in the Hub... Meet up was not intentional but it was definitely pleasant!!!

The Hub Monsters!!!

Batman in Actions...

From batman to Elmo... 

Home Learning : Role Playing vs Coloring

Dear had some take away from McCafe the other night and Mummy decided to utilise the paper bag used to contain the cake...

Guessed what.. Now we had a masked man in the house... Presenting "McCafe Man" who is armed with 2 foam swords... (Too many avengers watching going round the house...)

Meanwhile, the little one is not so interested in getting his face masked up... Ended up doing some coloring activities to work on his gross motor skill...

Masked "McCafe: Man...

But no worries, I'm sure we will be back...

Chill-Lax Bali Mar 2014 [Day 2]

Day 2 of our Bali trip... We did nothing but swim, eat, sleep, play and stroll along the shopping streets of Kuta Beach...

How enjoyable life is!!!

Swim, swim, swim... That's how we spent the whole morning =)

Selfie with the little bunny...  

Love this photo... My 3 dearest Mr. Lim...

The big bunny having endless fun at the water slide...

After the swim... Our lunch from room service... The goreng pisang is so nice that we wanna order a 2nd serving for supper but it was sold out... Grrrrrrrrr...

Daddy & Mummy... Can u guess who is the photographer?

Who says you can only surf in water... Let our little model shows you how to surf on land, and in different position too...

1 complimentary shot from the hotel and the other only at SGD8... So cool...

Some refreshments after the long and hot shopping walk...

Some time spent at their local "Time Zone"... It was dirt cheap where rides and games are last than 50cents each...

Chill-Lax Bali Mar 2014 [Day 1]

We are back!!! From our 3D2N chill-(re)lax Bali trip....

Conclusion: We simply adored the place... due to couple of reasons below...

(1) Short distance away from Spore (only abt 2hrs)

(2) Cheap air-tickets (due to company's subsidy)

(3) Cool hotel with cheap corporate rate, great service, high comfort bed and fantastic pool

This was definitely the most relaxing trip we ever had with our kids... The 1st that we are travelling alone with the bunnies, but definitely not the last time....

Day 1...

We embarked on our 3D2N trip as early as 5am in the morning as our  flight is at 7am...  The boys were excited and the big bunny managed his own luggage through out the walk from check in to the gate...

The officer at staff travel was very friendly and as the flight was not crowded, he offered a seat for little bunny, despite him being only an infant in the eyes of paying customer... The stewardess on board was also fantastic... Offered the bunnies nice kids meal + toys...

Upon arrival in Bali, we were greeted by our hotel rep where we were transferred to our hotel in the comfort of a MPV... At 12 o'clock, 3 hrs before official check in time, our room was readily available...

Simply loved our room... The high, comfortable, spacious bed and the big bath tub... After dropping off our luggage, we went around exploring the hotel, before settling for lunch at Hard Rock Cafe...  Afterwhich, we took a short nap... or rather we thought we wanna took a short nap... The bed were too comfortable however, and we, yes all 4 of us ended up sleeping through the afternoon from 3 to 5pm...

After the nap, it was pool time for the boys...  The boys really enjoyed the pool alot and we decided to check it out again the next day...

Before dinner, we took our welcome drink at the centre stage while enjoying the live band... Dinner was a simple meal at the nearby Mac as the bunnies wanna the kids' meal toys... Managed to roam around the little stalls on the way to Mac... Ended the day with a nice cup of large cuppa from Starbucks, which was amazing cheap!!!

At the airport, while waiting for the flight... Can tell that it's 5am in the morning, yah...

On board... little bunny a.k.a. little adult... checking out the movies channels.. 

Arrival in Bali... waiting for our luggages... 

Our rooms... 2 queen sized bed... large bathroom with large bath tubs... loved it!!!

Home Learning : Spelling l Letter F

Did some home learning activities one weekday night...

Learning to Spell...

Big bunny will start to have spelling test in Term 2... To prep him for it, I started teaching him how to spell...

Got this idea online... I did up a "Let's Learn to Spell" worksheet. There are 3 main areas in the worksheet... a "READ IT"  corner for Mummy to write the spelling word that big bunny is going to learn and for him to read it out loud... a "BUILD IT" corner for him to spell the words using magnetic alphabets... and lastly a "WRITE IT" corner for him to write the words 2 time, in upper capital form and lower capital form, and while he writes, he is supposed to practice spelling it and reading it loud...

So far, we had done 2 sessions of it.. and I must say he quite enjoyed doing it...

Learning to spell "CAR" by building it from scratch...

Learning to spell "CAR" by writing it...

Craft Work : Letter "F"...

After the spelling practice session, I got the boys to do a craft work on the letter F... F for Frogs... Croak...Croak...Croak...

Bunnies using the new foldable table.... From coloring to pasting... Love the way the big brother is helping the little brother with the pasting activities...

Transformation : F into a frog...

Relaxing Sunday @ Suntec

Happy Birthday, Jovan!!!

Last Saturday, we attended Jovan's 6YO TMNT themed birthday party at his house... The bunnies had a great time bonding with each other over toys whiles us parents had a great catch up too over food...

The older kiddos playing self invented games (musical chairs and twister)... which only lasted for a mere couple of minutes...

Seem liked sword plays was a more popular choices, irregardless gender... 

In the end, the kiddos were purely satisfied with all the existing toys in the house...

The nice TMNT customised cake...

Our CLDDs group pix with the birthday boy...

Our cute little bunny who got the older kids interested to take pics with...



Home Learning : New Tool in The House

Recently, I bought a foldable table from Groupon... It was meant to serve as an extra table for the guests for events... But looked like the bunnies planned to make the full use out of it...

That night, on the day it arrived, it had instantly turned into our bunnies' home learning table due to its adjustable height...

I quite like the concept as the bunnies can take their place, one at each side of the table and the table was still big enough for mummy to place her teaching materials on it...

So happy to have bought this...

Thanks to our pal, LinLing for her recommendation!!!



Bali... Here we come...

Hurray... We are going to Bali this weekend...

In order not to waste my FOC priviledged tickets, Dear and I decided to take a short trip to our nearby country, Indonesia, Bali, despite that 2 weeks later, we are going to China and Hongkong for a good 8 days...

Air tickets :
We will be flying by SQ... Taking the earliest flight out to Bali at 7am on Saturday morning and returning back to homeland on Monday at 330pm... Last check on the load factor... it's really good... We should not have any problems getting to and back from Bali.

Hotel :
Managed to secure a premium room at Hard Rock Hotel at Kuta Beach at a good corporate rate... Our 1st ever in a hard rock hotel... So super looking forward to it...

Itinerary :
Wanna to visit the Bali Safari Park but pricing seems a little too high for us to absorb... Shall consider for a couple more days before making any decision... Meanwhile, it will be a super relax trip... Sleep, eat, swim, walk...

From now till Friday night, I shall be busy with all the packing...

Can't wait for the trip... And as promise, I will be back with loads of photos...
