Going to be blogging in Facebook for the time being because that's the only place I can do both a photo and video log of the kids' life. 

So, jya mata ne!

To our secret group: The Diary of Celeste & Cyrus

So what do we do on an extremely hazy public holiday? We stay indoors.

Guess what we're doing?

With really bad haze these few days, we had no choice but to stay indoors. 

Today after work and dinner, I decided to bake banana muffins with the kids. Daddy was in hk so it's me and them only. Had to do something or else they'll fight! 

Luckily, muffins are real simple. Both had a chance to do something.  Measure, pour, mix,mash, stir. I think they enjoyed it. 
Mashing bananas
Tada! Not very pretty cakes but nvm! 
The kids cannot wait to eat the muffins so they huff and puff and blow. 

Verdict? We could do better!


It's no easy feat to get Cyrus to brush his teeth but this week, he automatically asked to brush his teeth a few times!  So what's the magic?
Tada! Stamps! Cyrus likes to stamp the stars so far every successful brushing of teeth, he gets to stamp a star. Successful meaning he brushes first then we do a thorough job for him. 
As we get to know him better, we find that hey... he is actually quite manageable and a good boy. He listens to us and tries to be good too. Really enjoy being with him now at this age. 

Today was Celeste''s first swimming lesson with teacher hanrong. It went well especially since this is not her first time learning to swim and furthermore she has her classmate Sophia to be with her. Teacher hanrong said she was very confident and would be fine. No pics of her because I was bz swimming and taking care of cyrus. A pity because they tried jumping into the pool from the board!  Never mind,  there's still next lesson. 

Then during dinnertime,  only Cyrus went out with us as Celeste went out with grandma. 

We had dinner at Ambush, Takashimaya. Nice pasta, clam chowder and paella. Too bad celestial didn't join us, her favourites! Anyway Cyrus ate like a grown up. Really gd boy...

Maybe bacuse it was due to this...

Tomica world busy highway

We bought a mega big toy for him as we had a $50 voucher and just nice, Tomica had a sale going on. So lucky Cyrus got a toy he loved. 

He played non-stop at home. Hope the toy serves it's purpose! 

Dumbfounded when I came out of the room to see this sight.

The mat was Completely covered with her stuff from school!

Celeste was trying to pack her things and look for her books.  Haha. 


Celeste suddenly thought of writing something  while we were in the car, on our way home. 

She may be young but she's already thinking of mature topics! Check out her work... 2 pages for now

Off to meet Ellie & the Rotters!

Haha what a funny shot! Looks like ellie is tuning out...
So nice to carry!
