Selfies

Selfies are the in thing now, and I'm a cool kid!    

Spending time with Daddy

Daddy didn't have to work this afternoon so he brought me out to the park to have some fun. Thank you Daddy!

 

Back to school

After so much fun over the last few weeks, the school holidays have finally come to an end. Today's the first day back at school, and Mummy and I left the house even before the sun was up. 

I reached school very early and had to wait for some time before school started. As I was waiting, my teacher asked me to help hold a sign so that my classmates would know where to queue up. I am a good helper! 

New Year's eve

Mummy only had to work in the morning today, so she brought me out to have a play date with Ashley. We went to Vivocity, where we had great fun in the playground after lunch. Daddy couldn't join us unfortunately, as he said that he had to work in the afternoon.   

In the evening after Daddy came home, we went to Holland Village for dinner. We had wanted to rent DVDs but the shop was closed by the time we got there, and we ended up watching TV at home after dinner. I was too tired to wait up for the new year though, and I fell asleep by about 11pm. Daddy and Mummy tried to wake me when midnight came, but I continued sleeping on Daddy's shoulder as he carried me to the top floor of our block of flats to watch the fireworks, haha. Happy new year everyone!

Seeing stars and planets

Mummy told me some months back that there was a giant telescope at the Science Centre, and that on Friday nights, anyone could go and use the telescope to see stars. I've been bugging Mummy ever since to bring me to the Science Centre, and it was only today that Daddy and Mummy agreed. 

I got to see Jupiter through the telescope, as well as 3 of its 4 moons. I also learnt that there are many many stars in the sky and that they are arranged in constellations. I was surprised when the guide told us the names of some of them e.g. Orion, because I recognise them from my Greek Goddess Girls story books. Awesome!

 

Christmas everywhere

Here's a collection of the various Christmas photos that I've taken round the island over the Christmas period :)

Christmas day

I love Christmas! I spent much of the morning watching the iPad and TV, haha. In the afternoon, we went to Tanglin Mall for lunch and a Starbucks Christmas drink, and to soak in some of the Christmas atmosphere.

In the evening, we went to Lao Ku's house for dinner. Mummy says that when she was younger, Christmas used to be celebrated at Grandpa's and Ah Ma's house every year. Mummy would spend all day eating, and all her cousins, Uncles and Aunties would be there too. 

We forgot to take a photo of all the presents that I received this year, but I want to thank everyone who made me happy!  

Mass on Christmas Eve

Mummy brought me to church today for the 9pm Christmas eve mass. It was a different church from the one that we usually go to near our house, as Uncle Greg had invited us to join him and his family at Holy Family. This is the first year that I haven't been bored at mass - do you know why? I realised that I can read now, so I can follow the words of the proceedings and can sing along to the hymms =) 

Long-awaited get together

Portia's Daddy has been saying for some time that he wants to invite Mummy and their friends from Cambridge to his house for a get-together. The gathering finally happened today, and I almost couldn't recognise Portia since it's been almost 3 years since I last saw her. 

Hungry giant?

We came across super giant plates and cutlery when we were walking about Alexandra Retail Centre today. Gosh, I think I'm just the right size to make a nice meal for the hungry giant!
