It's already 5 weeks into 2012. We've been busy, with work, with school with everything. The boys have started swimming and Chinese classes again, thus the week flies by with us running everywhere. Took this photo last week. I came back from work early and wanted to take a nap. Small fry woke up as I came back and as usual, he'll always want somebody to snuggle with him when he just wakes up.

It was really heartening to hear the boys say that they like having mummy and daddy home with them even though they get more scolding and smacking when we are home. This confirms my belief that children at this age requires quantity time and not quality time with their parents. They have not much idea of quality time. They are just happy with mummy and daddy sitting next to them while they

Kiefer's been doing loads of "don't wants" these days. Sometimes I think that he is just trying to do the opposite of what people want him to do. Today is one of those typical days: 1st don't want: Brought him to school with me and he took off his sandals and ran around the staff room. Kept saying "don't want" and refused to put the sandals back on. 2nd don't want: We were leaving school for

Yes, just like that! Our year end holidays are coming to an end. We spent a good part of it on holiday in California and we had a blast there! We flew on EVA air and I must say, Asian airlines are always great! The timing of the flight was good too. We left in the afternoon from Singapore and landed at LAX at about 230pm. After collecting our luggages and picking up the call, we got to Ah

We have just a little more time on our hands these days, and so, what have the kids been up to? The boys started swimming classes about a month ago. They have since gained much water confidence and can now paddle by themselves while clutching onto their swim noodles. After just a month or so of lessons, the 2 of them are as brown as toast now. Kieran started Chinese class at Tien Hsia

We've moved out of our Punggol place for more than a month already and I would say, I really dislike moving. We had a major move day where the movers came and brought all the major items out of the house but we still spend the next three weeks going back as forth, cleaning out the house of all the little knick and knacks. It was just one troublesome move. Half of the stuff moved by the movers

Kiefer's reply to the coach when asked how he was going to get back to the edge of he doesn't swim: "I go underwater, I drink water, I cough and then he (coach) will bring me back." Such logical thinking!!

A big fat peanut is not good for you. If it becomes a bomb, it'll explode on you! Kieran came home with this silly rhyme. Rather nonsensical, but really funny the way he said it!

We were in the car when Kieran said: K: Mummy, a seesaw is a simple machine. The triangle thing, what is it called?M: pivotK: pivot. Correct!K: and what is it called?M: *I thought for a moment and thought that it is more rightly referred to as a fulcrum* so I said FULCRUM K: yes! Fulcrum!

We were a little worried as Kiefer couldn't seem to sound  'L' and 'S' well, even though he really speaks very well. His 'L' sounds like "yoo". He does "yook" (*look*), 'beu' for  *blue*. His 'S' sounds like a 'th', as though he has a short tongue. I remembered this old post I had for Kieran and I realised that Kieran also didn't sound his 'L's at about the same age. So I guess we are ok! :D

Cannot be washed off. K: cannot? it is to protect me? M: yes Kief. Who taught you that the birthmark protects you? K: uncertain for a while and then said "Daddy" but daddy didn't teach him that.

We were brave last night. We had him go to bed diaperless. We made him pee one last time before he slept, lined the bed with 2 bed protectors and we all went to bed for the night. And.. We had an absolutely DRY night! (",)

This holiday has been one crazy holiday. It all started with us looking around at new property and found something that we really liked and placing a deposit on it. Everything went really fast from then on. We sold our current flat over 2 weekends and now are in the midst of packing and getting ready to move out of the house in about 2-3 months time. Everything's a whirl but a good sort of whirl

Kiefer's been going diaperless in the day. In fact, he can nap without his diaper and not wet the bed. That's a 2-3hr dry stretch. We still keep him in diapers at night as he still wakes up in the morning with a fairly wet diaper. I wonder if it is just because he has diapers, he'll just pee at night. Anyway, the biggest issue now is that he doesn't tell when he wants to poop. He's pooped in his

I have this height chart that hangs behind the door of the boys' room and I've been marking their height off the chart. Was looking at it awhile ago, I decided that I'd better record their heights down somewhere lest the chart goes missing in the coming months. Kieran's Heights 29/12/08 - 91cm 21/7/09 - 96cm 31/8/10 - 102cm 29/1/11 - 105cm 10/6/11 - 109cm Kiefer's Heights 21/7/09 - 73cm 31/8/10

This is how Kiefer talks now. Some times he throws in an extra 'S' when he wants to refer to the plural form for the word. So he'll go boat-ses, or train-ses. However, he doesn't do this for all his words though. Only for some words. Oh yes, and "stuck-ke" with an extra K sound at the back! :P - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Just like that. Kiefer has decided that he doesn't really need diapers anymore! About a month or so ago, we've been getting him to go diaperless once in a while just so he knows how good it feels without the wet and heavy diaper. He will usually not want to and sometimes makes a fuss. Me, being the lazy fella who doesn't feel that the stress associated with potty training is worth the trouble,

My firstborn is 5!! Gosh! Just like that! He's 5 already!! He is now a very assertive (also read: demanding) little boy. He is a sensitive little boy these days, often getting upset when things do not get his way. I'm hoping that this would be just a phase that he goes through. It can be really frustrating to handle his whining and pouty face each time he is unhappy with something. His classic

This happened just 5 minutes ago. Kiefer: Daddy, somebody drew on the iPad. Daddy: is it you? Kiefer: no, it's not me. it's *awkward pause* somebody. Daddy: I think I know that somebody. Kiefer: no it's not me. it's somebody who made it dirty. And I was just sitting on the other end, trying to control my giggles!!

As May Day fell on a Sunday, we had a nice weekend to make a run to Melaka! :P We left on the Friday afternoon and stayed on at Melaka till Sunday when we drove back to Kiefer's BBQ party at home. We arrived at Hotel Equatorial at about 330pm in the afternoon, checked in, took a short break and off we went to the pool. Even though we've been to Melaka so many times, we tend to go to familiar

Kieran hit his mouth last night when we were having dinner. I didn't think it was too big a deal as he didn't cry or anything. I just said opps, and he said oops, and that was it. It was only when we got home, and we were having a yelling match over the milk (yes, the drink from the cup battle again) that he complained that his mouth hurt. I remembered that he knocked his mouth and so I took a

He is happiest with a pair of scissors in his hands. He can be standing/sitting there snipping and cutting paper into little bits and pieces for the longest time. He cuts them into little shapes and he especially loves triangles. Funny little boy. :D

M: puzzled for a while K: I am free to play with you! Such is the innocence of a young child. I sometimes feel bad that I have to show/ tell him what is like in the real world.

Pele and Cantona were in Singapore on tour for the New York Cosmos. They were appearing at the Courts Young Lions vs Geylang match at Jln Besar Stadium.

I was fooling around with Kieran as we were stepping out of the lift. I tried to push him back into the lift (after an incident when he went into the lift all by himself and the door closed on him, he would never go or stay inside a lift all by himself). He quickly came out and said, " That was not cool!" And I thought it was really cool that he used that phrase!! :D

I'm so glad that I found these "Once upon a time.. Life" cartoon series. These were the cartoons that I loved when I was a kid. It is a cartoon series that teaches children about life processes in the body. As a biology teacher now, I can say that the facts in the cartoon are largely accurate. Of cos, there are little errors here and there, but they deliver the concepts really quite well!! The

I can't remember if I've blogged this before. But since I am laughing about it now, I am going to put it down so that I'll remember it for years to come. Here's Kiefer's version of Baa Baa Black Sheep: Baa Baa Black Sheep any anywhere!Yes sir, yes sir, big bad wolf! Yes, he gets confused by the words and thus he just fits them with whatever familiar words he knows. And in this case, he puts the

We've finally moved the boys into their own room. We cleared up the boys' room and moved them in just before Christmas. The first night was pretty easy because Kiefer thought that we were just having some fun. Come second night, he got wiser and started crying when bedtime drew near. We actually had to lock our room door and heartlessly leave him crying outside our door for quite awhile. Kieran

Sounds cliche, but time really zooms by just like that. Our little Kiefer has started Nursery 1 at Trinity Methodist Church Kindergarten since Wednesday (5 Jan 2011). Just like that, he is making a transition from a play-all-day childhood to one that involves "studying"!! Kieran started the school year 1 day earlier than Kiefer. And on Kieran's first day of school, Kiefer insisted on wearing his

It is 2011 already and I have yet to post about our Christmas! Gosh! How behind time am I and what a way to start the new year!! :P I guess I'll have to do a 2-in-1 post right here, right now. Christmas: We had a simple family gathering on Christmas Eve this year. We would always host the Christmas dinner in the years that we are not holidaying (read: almost every other year we are in the US).

#2 is at THE stage now. The stage where his answers to everything is a resounding "No!" :( Although he loves to accompany gege to school in the mornings, he's been saying no to going school these few days. He will be starting Nursery 1 next Wednesday, I hope he starts on a good note, with no crying! *crossing my fingers!*

This year seemed to be a long year. We've worked really hard and we thought we'd deserve a good break. As we did not really make plans to go anywhere (tho' there were some talks of doing a road trip to Penange, which didn't materialise), hubby looked around for somewhere to go and chanced upon a great deal on Jetstar Asia. And thus, a late booking and off we went to Hong Kong! The last time we

We just celebrated Mum's 60th birthday on Monday night at Yan Palace. Well, according to her year of birth, it is supposed to be her 59th, but according to some Chinese tradition, we had to celebrate her 60th a year earlier!! Anyway, we all had a really fun time eating and singing. And I'm sure Mum was really happy that night too because she had some of her good friends celebrating with her.

Haha.. Kiefer can say "HIPPOPOTAMUS"! I don't know when he started being able to do that, but it was rather cute when he said it this morning when we were reading a book on animals! Just to record, yesterday, at the zoo, he saw a peahen and he said," Hello peahen, what you doing here? " in his little childish voice!! :)

Hubby is out of town for a couple of days and so it's just the boys and me for these few days. Yesterday was a rainy day and so we stayed indoors, playing with toys, watching DVDs and made some little knick knacks for Christmas. The boys were really quite good at this but both crafting sessions probably only lasted 20 minutes. Just had to find more things for them to do. So, we woke up

I decided to have a little Thanksgiving dinner by ourselves this year. Not that we are pilgrims or anything, but I'd thought it'll be nice to be a little festive and to be thankful for this wonderful year for our family. I didn't make an entire turkey for dinner, but we had 2 roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and corn instead. The boys didn't eat much of the meat, but gobbled up all

It is the end of the year again. And we just attended Kieran's year end concert yesterday evening. It was so eveident that he was enjoying himself so much. The spotted us at the side of the hall the moment he came on stage and started waving to us. Throughout the 2min song, he was just jumping and smiling!! I'm so happy that he is enjoying this!The concert had a Christmas theme and Kieran's class

SIL booked 2 hotel rooms for themselves and ILs at Resorts World Sentosa, and the rooms came with USS tickets. And if ILs were to go, there'll be no one to take care of the kiddos. I don't feel comfortable with them bringing the kiddos out to a theme park like that on there own and thus both Hubb and I applied for leave and joined them at USS for the day.We left at 9 in the morning, and

Kieran is really growing up. He is asking to do things himself these days, like taking a shower by himself and wearing his clothes. Now he'll also know how to pour a cup of water for himself. He would climb up a stool to reach for a cup drying on the washing rack. I'm afraid that he'll fall or things on the rack would just fall on him. Thus, now I will always leave a couple of clean cups on the

Saw a comment on someone else's facebook status that triggered this post. A person commented on how a SAHM only rests after the kids goes to sleep while the FTWM's work ends at 6+ . Hmm.. so I wonder, where are the FTWM's kids? Don't these FTWM have kids too? If they do, wouldn't they (generally) only get to rest after the kids go to bed? If that doesn't happen, then these would be FTWW (women)

Kieran has been such a big boy for awhile that sometimes we don't quite see the little boy side of him. We were at Borders on Saturday and he was in his goofy mood. Also there was a balloon sculpture of an F1 car there and he was happy to take a picture with it. He made funny faces while I got a few snaps.I thought he looked like Justin Bieber in this photo!! :p- Posted from my iPhone

Had a little fun this morning drawing on the newly cemented floor just outside our house. See? I'm so proud of Kieran's drawing abilities. He sure had a lot of fun drawing on such a huge canvas!! This was the completed drawing. It was a rocket with an astronaut standing next to it. He even drew the platforms (white) that the astronaut would use to climb aboard.

Kieran wet his bed for the last 2 nights. Since he's been off diapers a year ago, he probably only wet his bed at night like 5 times. And for the longest time, he's been holding up well. I was thinking about it and realized that it may have been due to all the stress in the last week. He seems to be undergoing some behavioral stage and has been fighting with Kiefer quite a bit. The small one is

It is the 1 week September break for us and as usual, we cannot bear to stay put at home doing nothing. So we decide to go on a little road to Malaysia. Our original plan was just to go up Melaka and spend 2 nights there, but hubb thought that 2 nights was overkill for Melaka as we will run out of things to do in one day. I don't know how it came about, but I suddenly suggested Port Dickson, and

I came down a huge gastric flu bug this weekend and was practically lying in bed the whole of yesterday. Today l'm on sick leave with the little one at home. We were so worried that he was going to get the bug cos he threw up a couple of times yesterday and he didn't have much of an appetite. Anyway, our entire family of four was affected one way or the other. I had the bad gastric flu and

We bought four caterpillars for the boys last week so that they can learn a little about the life cycle of the butterflies. Bought them from Oh Chin Huat Hydroponics Farm for $3 a set. The farm had a tiny enclosure (Butterfly Lodge) where they had a fair number of different butterflies.Anyway, the caterpillars took a couple of days to pupate and the first pupa only remained in the chrysalis for

Bought a Fisherprice Kid-Tough camera for the kiddos for their birthday this year. They had fun with it for a week or so and than it disappeared for 2 months. We finally found it again in one of their toy boxes a few days ago and I pulled out the photos that were in the memory card.I just loved some of the photos that the boys took.Think this was taken by Kiefer.

After 9 days in Japan, we went off to Seoul. It's our first visit to South Korea and we really didn't know what to expect. But we had fun visiting a whole new country, just the 4 of us. We didn't do much, except a little sight seeing at a nearby Namsan. But we watched a great show, Cookin' Nanta, which the kids enjoyed very much.Waiting for the public airport bus to get to our hotel in Myeongdong

We've been back for about a month already and I just haven't had time to blog about our June vacation. We were off to Japan and Seoul for a while. It's been 3 years since we last went Japan and it's great going back there again. We were at Japan with Hubb's parents and cousin's family and spent 9 days in Tokyo and Osaka, with some side trips to Nara and Kyoto. After that the four us continued on

I had to go work today and was all changed, waiting for the daddy to come home to take over childcare duties. Kieran saw me get changed and asked where I was going. Told him I had to go work. His first reaction was "who is going to take care of me?" The conversation went like this:K: where are you going?M: I've got to go work.K: (with a worried look) who's going to take care of me? Daddy's not at

The theme for Kieran's birthday this year is Jurassic Park III - This time, it's not just a walk in the park! He had some dinosaur goody bag and a Jurassic Park III cake made by his 外婆. We had a great BBQ, fitting for a bunch of hungry dinosaurs!Here are some photos of the day:Grouchy boy who just woke up from his napGoody bags!Yummy BBQ2 Iron boys! :P

Kieran: are we going for lunch now?Dad: are you hungry already?K: No. Haha! That's a joke! Nevermind the unfunny joke but the idea that my little boy is cracking jokes? Ha! That cracks me up!

Kieran found my Disneyland pirate's hat and started jumping around like a pirate. So we decided to make a eye patch for him. Well, it's blue cos I didn't have any black felt with me. It was either blue, white or pink. And since we don't allow swords and guns in our house and thus that make-shift longish box was his little sword.As for the little one, I only had 1 hat in the house, so I had to

Kiefer's speech and vocabulary is expanding by leaps and bounds everyday. He adds on so many words to his vocabulary and says so many new things everyday that I'm finding it hard to keep up. Even as I type this post, I am thinking that I will not be able to recall every little new word or phrase that he has recently started using.He started by calling almost everyone "mama" a couple of months ago

Now that our Flyer pass has expired, we've decided to get the zoo annual pass for this year. It looks like we'll go visit the animals very often this year! :PThank god for the great weather this morning, tho' it got a little warm by noon. The boys had lots of fun looking at all the different animals. I think what really caught Kieran's attention today was the proboscis monkey. He even said that

It's been a while since we brought the boys out on a excursion-type of outing. We were toying with the idea of bringing them to the zoo but they both woke up with super phlegmy coughs and the sky just didn't look too inviting. After some Google-ing, we found out that Science Center is currently having a Pixar - 20 Years of Animation exhibition and so off we went.It was great that we arrived at SC

Or rather we did some major weeding today at Pierce reservoir. It was our school's staff CIP programme. We were helping Nparks weed out the exotic dracaenia plants. It was fairly hard work with the changkos. Thanks goodness we had strong men with us who did much of the digging. We were mostly clearing of the mutilated plants. :pAs with all other projects we done together, they are often more

Just got the Google nexus one and now I'm realizing that it's not really idiot-proof for people like me. :( The only thing I like about it is that even when I accidentally got out of the program, I can always return to it at the point where I left off.

I've been lying in bed all day. What I thought was a simple case of food poisoning turned out to be gastroenteritis. :( I been lying almost motionless because every little movement sets the cramps off. And I can hear all the bubbles in my churning tummy. Still, I'm glad that this is not really that bad, I've had worse. Now to stop the little from jumping on me as I lie in bed.

After a few sessions with the ENT since April last year, the ENT couldn't pin point the problem with hubby's ear and thus concluded that it is idiopathic Meniere's Disease. It is really rather depressing to be diagnosed as that because when we googled around the web, there is simply no treatment/ cure for Meniere's Disease. Medicines are prescribed usually only to manage the symptoms. And after

I love red nails but I always have trouble painting them on my fingers cos they inevitably look real messy. It's usually either too thick or I'm too inpatient to wait for it to dry and end up getting scratches and wrinkles on them. My sis gave me this Incoco dry nail appliqué that was easy to put on and there is simply no mess. Such a wonderful product!! Tho I have yet to find out how much they

thought I forgot to bring home the milk bottle from Aunts house when the daddy actually packed everything up and brought them home. we thought that we would go with the error and not tell him that daddy did bring the bottles home. he still wouldn't drink from the cup. he said "I will drink nai nai tomorrow. don't want milk now." :Pearly this morning (620am), while we were in the car, he still

It's the CNY again. It is kinda crazy how the years seem to just fly by like that! It is Kieran's 4th and Kiefer's 2nd CNY! Gosh!! And every year it seems to just come by and go by even faster.Here are our 2 little cuties in their brand new PJs.And just the 4 of us, all decked out in the CNY red! :P

This is a long-overdue post that was sitting in my Drafts.Been wanting to blog about this since we came back almost 4 weeks ago (gosh... where did time go?). The boys and I had a little adventure as we flew back from the USA all by ourselves. Their daddy had to return 3 days earlier, leaving just the 3 of us coming back on our own!The adventure started almost immediately when the daddy went onto

Another 20 hours to boarding! We are rather excited about this trip as it's been a year since we've last gone California! It'll be extra fun this time cos we've got Kiefer with us! :D The suitcases are more or less packed. We are carrying loads of stuff this time, the amount of milk powder?? Woohoo!! Thank goodness Kieran's off diapers already. That's like 1 suitcase less! :PI guess this will be

We started this "Get Star" system sometime earlier in the year when we were trying to potty train Kieran. Rule of the game is simple, you do good (potty or otherwise) you get stars, if you don't then you don't! The aim was to reach 100 stars and the prize? "Sit aeroplane, go use-A, go Disneyland" :P And today, he stuck on his 100th star!! He would have gotten it sooner but we had to space out the

Kieran (and Kiefer) is always drawing and doodling and I've always felt bad thrashing their doodles away! I think they really make great showcase pieces! Also, I thought that he'll probably feel more encouraged when he sees his artwork hung up for display. :DSee that little hole on the right-most art? We were all doodling on the floor and I drew a heart there. And since he (Kieran) was drawing an
