Reyanne's Modelling Day

I am one who doesn't mind second-hand clothes for my kids. Thanks to my mother-in-law's good friends, who have grand-daughters who have grown up, I always receive bags of clothes for En en. That night, my mother-in-law asked En en to try a few dresses and some traditional 'Du Dou'. (those things that women wore underneath their clothes in the past) She looked quite cute..haha. She wasn't that willing to put them on initially. Then, came the food-as-reward strategy of my mother-in-law... *sigh* So, there she was , in her 'new' clothes.

Among the bag of clothes, was a pretty pink dress which was too small for En en. I thought it would be fun to let the boy wear it. Haha...yes, the little kid in pink dress is none other than my boy, Ryan. :P

Happy 1st Birthday, my boy!

It seems to be a long time since I last updated. School has reopened, so I was too cropped up with school work.

We celebrated Ryan's birthday twice. Once on 17th, with Ye Ye and Nai Nai, once on 18th with Gong Gong and Po Po. Both cakes were delicious. :)

Luckily there was no one 'disturbing' our celebrations.

Ryan looked really happy on his actual birthday, 18th Jan. Reyanne Jiejie on the hand, didn't seem too happy. :p But she still enjoyed the cakes. Hahaha.

Meanwhile, we were also busy rearranging furniture at home. I like the new look! But I have yet to finish tidying 2 more rooms. Because of the rearrangement, we managed to clean up (75% of) the house for Chinese New Year! I think that's a great start. :p

Now, we have shifted our computer to the living room, to free up that 'ex-computer-room' either for one of the kids' room in future, or as an entertainment room. (daddy's idea one fine day). I think it is a good idea, because we can still be working while watching over the kids (say...when Ryan can really sit on his own and not disturb). And I can do work on my computer and still be able to watch my drama series at the same time.

The coffee table was pushed to a corner, still haven't decided whether to throw or keep, to allow bigger room for kids. I do not need to live in fear that one day the boy will suddenly knock against the table edge while climbing up and down. Old carpet was replaced as well. Warm and cosy, no more food-stain.

Yes, our 4 and a half bookshelves played a big role in this 'new outlook'. They allowed Roy and I to put our books, files, boxes and whatever-not. Initially we didn't buy the bookshelf doors, but realised they collect dust so easily even with shut windows. Thanks to Ikea, which sells things separately, we bought 2 doors to cover up, in order not to tire out poor mummy. However, the doors are not fixed yet. I wonder if the doors will end up like that mirrors we bought 5 years ago, bought but kept in store room and never get to see sunlight!

Oops, I think I was too carried away with the new furniture of the house. This is supposed to be children-related blog! But then, it is also the house of the children right... Kekeke... :P

That's all for now. Will upload some new pictures asap. :P

Our Bangkok Trip

Many people were too afraid to go Bangkok this period, but we, the die-hard-Bangkok-shoppers, still went ahead with our plans. Good thing we went! Nothing happened (thank goodness) and we are back safe and sound.

Spent a lot of clothes...for myself, En en and the little boy, of course daddy also added a few new items to his closet. The main bulk belonged to the kids, especially our little princess. All the clothes were so nice and cheap!!

My mother-in-law, the ultimate bargainer, managed to buy a cute bumpy dress, which was selling at 180 baht, at only 100 baht. It was really cute, red and white checkers, with singlet inside and vest-like design outside, attached to pong-pong skirt. My mother-in-law changed En en into that little dress immediately!

Reyanne was generally excited about the shopping trip. Though she tend to sa-jiao at times, especially when we just stepped into big shopping centres, she would always tell me she wants to sleep! Oh my goodness!! How to carry her around and shop at the same time?

Clever mummy made used of the security guards walking around the shopping centres. I told her they are policemen who were looking for children who didn't walk on their own. She got quite frightened and became willing to walk on her own.

However, Ryan tend to fall asleep in his carrier when we were shopping. I guess he had nothing to play with and became bored inside the carrier. That's why when we were back in hotel room, he would be wide awake because it was then that he could be released and play!

I bought 1 purse, 3 bags, 8 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of slippers, 4 pairs of socks, 3 skirts, 2 pants, 7 tops, 3 sets of pyjamas and some hair accessories. :) But I think I could have achieved more if I don't need to bring the kids back to hotel for their nap. Hahaha :p Oh well, I guess I need to sacrifice something when there are kids around.

Concert 2008 @ Carpe Diem - Finale

That's the finale for the K2 Graduation Concert @ Carpe Diem Groups. At least, she wasn't crying at that time. See how the rest of the children enjoy themselves.

Magician-To-Be

She tried to make that balloon 'disappear' by hiding it under her armpit. Wonder how on earth did she think of this! Anyway, we had a great laugh over it.

Ryan learns to clap!

Thanks to Reyanne's pull-up hat... Ryan was so amused that he started clapping!! :P That was on 17 Nov, one day before he turned 10-months old.

19 Nov, he managed to say 'PAPA', with the help of some exaggerated mouth action. :p

Yesterday, 1 Dec, he suddenly said 'aye-aye' when Priscilla Auntie said 'Byebye' to him. He also tried to move his fingers to say Byebye... :p
