It has been a long time since we went on a trip together, excluding the times we went jb. This time,  we are going to Malacca together with both the Ng and Ong family.

the mischievous boy gave me this look even though I told him to smile!  He maintained this looked after many shots! So I told celeste to give me an angry look too. 
on the way to Jurong where we board the coach. The kids Don on their sunglasses. 
breakfast at malacca. Kinda dirty kopitiam! 
Cyrus insists on taking a selfie with that touch of leftover on his cheek. Hehe
the journey getting boring.. cyrus gets his ipad dose. 
and tada... he finally fell asleep after much ipad playing!

Finally some feedback on the baby! Just as I've expected. He still needs lots of guidance. Teacher Mrs Tan says he is v quiet in school and needs prompting. Well,  that I'm surprised! Quiet? Never at home. But I agree with the prompting part. He just needs more time to learn. Nothing to be overly concerned about.  Thank god.

Today is Celeste's PTC. I wasn't able to go but daddy went instead.  Both Eng & chinese teachers said that Celeste is an excellent pupil (we know that!) But she can try to be more confident. ( we know that too.) God is fair. No one is perfect! 

Celeste is very much like me so I don't blame her. Confidence has to be built I guess? I think she's happy in school and trying her best.  That's good enough.  Extremely proud of her efforts to study by herself everyday. Her hardwork has definitely paid off as seen from the report book.

It's been a tiring day although I don't think we've done much.  Just that my day started at 535am when the thunder started rolling,  wakening me. I was completely unaware that it had rained for quite some time otherwise, I might have just gone back to sleep,  since the weather was so cosy! Unfortunately,  I had some overdue work to complete.  So instead of my usual weekend morning routine of baking, I was typing away sluggishly in the study room. 

Soon after, Cyrus wokeup and I went to play with him for a little while before I received a phone call from Celeste, along if we could go fetch grandma and her at Ave6's market. So off we went out, early in the morning with a slight drizzle.  Then had breakfast at home and I continued playing with cyrus in 503 while celeste did her reading in 501. Peace was at hand when both of them are separated.  Hehe.  

When cyrus went to sleep,  we went to botanic gardens as I had to do my camp worksheet.  After a quick walk,  we proceeded for a late lunch at Halia Restaurant.  


Expensive and not so yummy food, imo. 
By the time we reached amk, it was almost time for Celeste's Hua Cheng lesson.  We let celeste take her nap in the car as she had fallen asleep. 

After sending her for lessons,  we came home rated for an hr before leaving again to pick her up to go to the library.  

Below is cyrus pulling the entire heavy load of 26 books by himself.  Hehe.  

Our day finally ended at 9pm. Soooooo tiring. 

Anyway, an observation, Cyrus seems unusually calm these few days.  Even teacher in Bethesda says that he's v quiet that day.  Odd! 

Just now when we were coming home from north point,  he hardly whined despite it was already 830pm. He didn't all for his pacifier too! Well it's good news for us but it just doesn't seem like him.  Hope he's ok.. haha.  Maybe he has been having a good sleep recently.  Which explains his better moods. 

St nick's activity for the night: reading under the stars. We had storytelling activities,  popcorn and shared a book about fears together. Our favourite word was "whereamiphobia"! Fear of feeling lost. Hehe.  

Spotted this on the walkways. Once again reminded of the good work of celeste.  
Starry starry night in the air-conditioned hall. Very thankful for the aircon coz it's a hot night! 
Spotted more of Celeste's work. .. and even a Chinese one. Too bad couldn't take a photo because it was just too dark.

An eventful weekend!

On sat, we went to jb to get our groceries. Always enjoy shopping at jb coz can just take and buy.  Haha.  As if it's free!

That morning while preparing myself in the toilet,  I heard cyrus go, " where's Euniceeee? " faint. This boy is so mischievous!! 

Then while putting on some makeup,  Cyrus came into the bathroom and said, "cyrus no draw face." I was wondering what he meant then I realised! ! Hahaha and that's because I was drawing my eyebrow with the eyebrow pencil! ! Lol... today he refused to let me put on my makeup too.. kept pulling my hands and saying "no draw faceeeee "

So today is Mother's Day... I tried to do some crepe art but failed badly.  Here's what I've done. Far from what I planned to do!

Carnations bought by dear celeste who woke up ultra early to go to the market with grandma and grandpa.  Such a sweet girl.  She remembered that she got this for me last year so she had planned to get me another carnation this year.  

The kids having water play with the water babies. Kept both very occupied!
1 person one set of toys.  No fighting please! 
Grandma and me went to Tott for a cooking demonstration class.  We had spicy stir fried prawns and mapo doufu. Short session but we were happy.  Many thanks to grandpa for entertaining celeste while we were in the class and daddy sean for taking care of cyrus.  
The kids singing to ABC. Actually only Celeste is singing.  Cyrus is rapping. Managed to take a short video of them.  
We share a shot together while on the way to Jurong. 
Monster daddy!
And finally,  our Mother's day celebration ended at Jurong.
