While Daddy was away

Since Daddy would be away for so long, I decided that I wouldn't stay at home and pine for Daddy but instead enjoy my time alone with Mummy.

We went shopping for new clothes,



... and we played dressing up as a monkey,



... as well as in my new clothes.



We put together a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle,

... and played hide-and-seek, as well as "you can't see me because I'm under the blanket".

Then we went for dinner along Orchard Road,

... and decorated ourselves for some Christmas cheer. Mummy even made me a red rose ring out of pearls and buttons.

All in all, I had fun with Mummy. I miss Daddy too, and both of us can't wait for him to come back tomorrow!

Bye bye Daddy

Daddy is going overseas for the next 10 days but he is not bringing me with him! I'm going to miss him very very much and I hope that he comes back soon.



As I won't be able to hug and kiss him while he is away, I decided to give him 10 kisses to bring along with him:

Origami

Mummy loved origami when she was young, and her grand-uncle would teach her how to fold things like cranes, horses and frogs. Recently Mummy found her old origami books in Ah Ma's house and she brought them home to share with me.



We made stars and a happy family of ladybirds.

Phuket

Daddy, Mummy and I have been in Phuket for the past 2 days for a short holiday. It's our first time there and there were many things to do.

We played on the beach:



...swam in the pool:



... ate a lot of seafood and ice cream, and drank coconuts:



Have you ever seen a prawn that is as big as the size of my head?!

Dingle dangle scarecrow

I love singing this song about being a dingle dangle scarecrow =)

Kite flying at Marina Barrage

Even though Marina Barrage opened more than a year ago, we have never visited it. Today, as the weather was quite good, we decided out of the blue to buy a kite and go kite flying. The kite that I had in Cambridge (which was given to me by Portia) was of Thomas the Tank Engine, while my new kite had many different colours.

Here I am enjoying my kite:



... time with Mummy:



... and Daddy!



I also discovered a wading pool, and had lots of fun splashing around.

Hawaiian dance

For the past few weeks, I have been excitedly practising a dance item for my childcare centre's end-of year concert. While I am not the emcee for my nursery class's performance, I have heard them practise so many times that I know it too. Here is a video of me showing off to Mummy and Daddy:



Mummy and Daddy both took time off from work to attend my concert this afternoon. Here is a photo of me and my dance partner, all decked out in a hawaiian costume.

Rose

Mummy came back from church today with a red rose. When I greeted her at the door, she grinned at me mischievously and asked if I wanted a flower in my hair. Now I can Briar Rose / Princess Aurora!

Braids

I had dinner with Daddy's and Mummy's friends after school today. Daddy and Mummy were deep in coversation and I was feeling rather bored. Auntie Shirlyn was sitting next to me, and she suddenly asked if I wanted to tie my hair. I happily agreed, and quietly sat down while she braided my hair.




Ta da! It's really pretty, isn't it?

Mahjong

Mummy brought me to visit Lao Ma, who would be staying at Edwina Lao Ee's for the next few weeks. I had never been to her house before, and I was curious about the many things that she had. There was a table with many different coloured blocks, and I wanted to play with them. So Mummy taught me how to play baby mahjong, where I had to find the correct numbers and arrange them in order. It was quite fun!
