Just received a batch on online stuff I ordered during black Friday/cyber Monday promo.
Celeste is very happy to see that I've bought the musical potty for her. She's a bit old for it but we hope it can encourage her to wake up to pee in the middle of the night and stop wearing night diapers.
She's also elated to see new dresses. She couldn't wait to try them on. Think she likes this black one best. Was singing and requested that I video her down. She looks very pretty, doesn't she?

Pretty Celeste 




Celeste & Baby #2 (Week 8) monkeying around. :) 

We went shopping tdy and Celeste saw a lot of nice dresses and shoes. However, in order not to cultivate a shopperholic, we had to teach her that although there were many beautiful items that she liked, she couldn't buy everything. So if something is expensive, we cannot buy it for her.

Today we went to orchard to shop, more to window shop actually, so naturally the prices there were high. So everytime Celeste saw something she liked, she asked me if it was expensive. I had to disappoint her everytime because the dresses weren't really cheap! But she did not make a fuss and carried on looking for her next dress.

At the end of the night though, she complained that "it's not fair". "I never buy anything". Lol... So we got her packet if Yan Yan biscuits instead. That made her happy~

Today, Celeste went out shopping with me to buy Xmas presents for Baby Zach and Josh. It's difficult not to buy something for her when you're out shopping coz she will go "Mummy! I want this!" when she sees something she likes. Mummy will choose the most appropriate item and buy it for her because Celeste really doesn't have many toys if I compare her with other kids. :p 


Actually, she already has one Christmas present - which is Mell Chan's bathtub. We bought that like just a week ago at Taka? Today, she saw a few things that she liked. A toy camera (wonder why she wants that?), a cashier that she played with at Aunt Rena's house last time and... one more thing that I cannot remember. I didn't need much consideration to get the Cashier for Celeste coz it seems much more fun but I did need to persuade her quite a bit to understand why I chose the Cashier. ;) 

Got the presents wrapped up and off we went to Aunt Jane's house to play with Baby Zach. :) Celeste is a big girl already. She tries to play with Baby Zach but erm.. baby Zach is not for playing yet. So she entertained herself by playing with Josh's toys. Keke. 


Anyway, Actually I wanted to keep Celeste's present for Christmas day. Put it under our Xmas tree but Celeste was sooo anxious, she just had to open her present immediately. ;)








Kite flying...
Shopping...
Relaxing... :)

Early in the morning 5am, we woke Celeste up as our flight was at 730am! Luckily, Celeste was already in anticipation of Disneyland. She awoke quickly and was in high spirits! On the air plane, she was good too. Managed to catch some sleep and was recharged for some sightseeing :)


Our hotel, Kowloon Hotel, is a real tight squeeze. The bed was just a Queen sized bed. omg. So small! How were we going to survive the night? But of course, all these didn't matter to Celeste ;)








Lotsa walking and Celeste couldn't quite tahan. So... poor us had to take turns to carry this 18kg piggie :p Some exercise for us.


At night, we went out for dinner (late late late) and did some night shopping. The amount of people was crazy!! Uncomparable to Singapore, nor Taiwan, nor Japan. Crazy... what were they all doing outside?! Then we remembered, it was a Friday night. No wonder the whole HK was out.


2nd day, off we went to Disneyland. Celeste was very excited, but quite a bit of waiting as we were taking a chartered coach to Disneyland dampened a little of her spirits. Plus the unrelentless hot weather also made her a little grouchy.


Hence, when we reached Disneyland, all Celeste wanted was to take photos with the REAL Mickey & Minnie Mouse. Of course, no real Mickey and Minnie yet.. only sculptures, so most of the pictures were taken with her purposely looking away or hiding behind us! Naughty girl...


Aha! We saw a snaking queue waiting to take photos with Mickey & Minne. The queue was horribly long and it started to drizzle. Poor Daddy queued up by himself and I took Celeste inside the shops & other exhibits to occupy the time and seek shelter. Alas, after a long period of time.. don't know how long, perhaps 45mins - 1 hr? We FINALLY managed to take a few snaps with Mickey & Minnie! Well, we made the most of it by taking individual photos! :p


By then, lunch was approaching and we decided to let Celeste try the Mickey Waffles. So cute! She was excited to see it and we even sang a Birthday Song to her! LOL. She was of course even happier!


After lunch, Celeste was a bit drowsy already. Refused to take photos with Buzz Light Years.. haha.. so we left her in the stroller at the side and went to take photos ourselves :P



Celeste still sucking her thumb in the stroller, trying very hard to sleep... but to no avail coz of the colourful scenery and loud music. Check out the time on the clock! 2.15pm!



Celeste finally fell asleep at 3pm after lotsa rounds of pushing in the stroller by Daddy...and awoke at 330pm. Just in time to watch the Parade ;)


Very nice parade even though I didn't understand what they were singing coz all in Cantonese. But Celeste was still grouchy from being woken up by the loud music so she didn't want to take ANY photos.


Bought a pretty Sleeping Beauty costume for her, together with tiara and wand and bags and gloves. Came up to almost S$100! (Note: upon reaching Singapore, I realised that her Princess costume is torn!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!! Probably because she wore it while taking all the rides... bleah)


Finally could queue up to take the rides.. Celeste loved the ride where she could control the machine to go up and down so much she wanted to take it again. Hehe..


Ice-cream time to stay hydrated! This Mickey ice-cream costs S$4! Wah...








More photo taking before the night ended....



Last day: Some poses suggested by Celeste while we were having a light breakfast before going for Dim Sum :p

Wow, received an SMS from daddy saying that Celeste bought a packet of tissue paper herself while daddy sat at the table in the kopitiam waiting and looking at her.

She is such a big girl already!

Anyway, it seems like daddy taught her how to buy a bun first. When her fingers became dirty, she wanted to buy tissue paper and daddy let her go by herself!

Another SMS came in... Celeste went to buy a 寿桃 herself now... Hehe

It's December and Mummy had planned quite a few activities for Celeste. One of them is to chase the many Christmas Special Shows around town. There's Sesame Street, Hi-5, Thomas The Train, etc so we are going to watch them ALL! :p

Today we decided to go watch Hi-5 and Thomas the Train since they're near each other. So we planned 4pm to watch Thomas the Train and 7pm, Hi-5.

However, by the time Celeste woke up from her nap, it was already 3+pm and we rushed down town like mad. Daddy drove VERY fast. It had been a long time since Mummy took Daddy's FAST car. :p Anyway, when we reached Millenia Walk, it was 5 minutes to 4pm and we saw NO crowd anywhere. I carried Celeste and sort of ran towards the Atrium and then I saw that there was really nobody around!!! No crazy Thomas fans! To my horror, I realised that there was no show at 4pm for Thomas the Train!! *faint* Really stupid of me. it was too late to go over to Marina Square to watch Hi-5 also. :(

So we left Millenia walk for Centerpoint coz I wanted to buy a few Christmas presents for the kids. And... I took such a long time and in the end, we were rushing for time again for the 7pm show. hahz.

When we reached Millenia walk again, this time, the crowd had formed and the show had started already. Managed to squeeze in and watch but it was very short and not so entertaining. Hope tomorrow's Hi-5 would be good!

This week Celeste and mummy went shopping together. Just the 2 of us.

First it was a short 1 hour shopping @ Junction 8. Celeste was in the best of her moods. It made shopping really easy.

Secondly, we went to Ion when Daddy had to work. Celeste was initially not in a very good mood, she wanted to be carried. But after some coaxing, her mood lifted and she was very fun to be with. Many people looked at her and commented that she looked really cute. :D

Went shopping with Celeste only after work because I was in a holiday mood. Brought her to junction 8 to jalan jalan. Surprisingly, she was very cooperative and I even managed to window shop for clothes and try on some clothes! Of course, she had to stay in the fitting room with me but she had fun playing with her reflection in the mirror. ;) thinking of bring her to orchard this weekend myself. I hope things go as smoothly as today!
