The Meg and Mog Show

Jenann asked us if we wanted to go to The Meg and Mog show on Halloween day. I wasn’t sure if Caden will like the show as he was not familiar with the casts, but decided to go anyway.

One thing I observes with Caden, he would enjoy the show so much more if he is familiar with the casts, or even better, with the story line.

So I search for Meg and Mog book for him everywhere. After I found it, I was told that the school's library has many different stories of Meg and Mog. Silly me!! I should have checked the school library first.

At the show day, Caden was very happy. He sat down quietly (well not really cos’ he asked a few questions and his voice was kind of loud) and watched the show eagerly.

And thenn….. What is more interesting then meeting the casts themselves after the show? Caden was showing his Ben-10 watch to every casts. Yes, he is a Superman with a Ben-10 watch. ^_^

6 Years Wedding Anniversary

Paul didn’t say anything at all this morning. I texted him in the afternoon and asked if he forgot something today. He replied a few hours later and said “No, I am not… do you want to have dinner today?”

Haha…lucky he replied that, if not, I would be furious.

We ‘celebrate’ it with Caden at Sun with Moon restaurant at Whellock Place.

I didn’t know what to explain to Caden when he asked me why we have to go out for dinner tonight. So I told him, today is mommy’s and daddy’s birthday. After I said that, he was singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song again and again.

Then I knew that we should have the cake, or else this little guy will ask questions about it.

I bought a slice of cake from Cedele next door and ask for two candles (one of mommy and one for daddy).

A friend asked me if it has been really that long. I have thought about it a few times today and counted the years again and again; just in case I counted it wrongly.

After the 2nd friend asked me again about that 6 years marriage, I then checked my marriage certificate. I thought I was wrong, too! Time really flies…. I don’t feel like I got marriage yesterday though, but I don’t feel like it has been 6 years as well.

I am just glad for the past years that we’ve been together and especially for Caden!!! There is nothing I can ask for more.

Mommy's Old Friend

It has been more than 5 years since mommy met auntie Octav. And since she is here for a few days, we decided to meet at Wisma Atria.

Nice to know you auntie Octav and hope to see you again some other time.

Saying Good-Bye to Sasya...

.... we'll see you again very soon, ok?

Baby African Elephant

We came to the elephant show a few times already but I never let Caden up to the elephant house as the stairs up is too steep and dangerous.

But today when he asked me if he can go up, I let him be, considering he is much older now.

It was interesting up there. There were baby elephant foot print (it was huge!) and baby elephant figurine, too.

The place is quite small but cozy and educational. We surely will come by here again.

Superman and Supergirl

Caden and Sasya woke up late today. Mommies decided to bring them to Vivo City by MRT!

We’ve bought a similar outfit for them in the Universal Studio at Gold Coast. Caden loved his Superman outfit. He kept saying that he is a Superman again and again.

I’ve told Caden that he has to walk all the way if he wants to take the train. Anyway, he is a Superman (he is super excited to be a Superman), and Superman is strong!! He can walk all the way to Vivo City without being carried.

Anyway, we arrived safe and sound at Vivo City at 5pm and Caden walked away there by himself. We went to Toys R Us for a while and then to Sushi Tei for dinner.

On the home, Caden said that he is tired. Sasya was then being carried by Ii Ani and Caden used the stroller.

On the way to the MRT, we passed by taxi stand. I asked Caden if he wanted to take the train home or the taxi. He thought for a little while and said, “Taxi!”

I was actually glad that he said “Taxi” because I myself was tired!!!

The Nicest Egg in The World

We came to watch “The Nicest Egg in The World” at the Esplanade with some friends.

Caden used to cry because he hated the dark environment inside the theaters and he was scared of the casts.

But now, he is likes shows; he can’t take away his eyes from those casts and enjoys every bit of them very much.

He is now willing to get so close with the casts and even play with them physically.

Today, Caden was chosen to be one of the very few kids who were dancing with the casts for a few minutes before the show ends. He was shyly standing beside one of the cast and almost didn’t do anything.

Well, at least he didn’t cry and he is willing to go to the stage with a stranger.

PS: And yes, I forgot to bring my SLR today! :-(

Books Books Books

He fell in love with books from the very early age. H asked to be read with many books everyday.

I like him to be exposed with lots of books. I am sure books will give him lots of knowledge in a lot of things.

Caden likes Bible’s stories the most. But for the past few weeks, he is into Diego (Dora’s cousin) now. It’s so hard to find Diego books here because he is not so popular in Singapore. And to find Diego’s DVD is impossible.

Luckily a friend is coming from the US and willing to bring home some of the DVDs for us.

Thank you auntie, Lisa. ­­^_^

As He Aged 1 More Year...

I know this feed-by-himself behavior happens very rarely, as a 3 years old boy, Caden had shown us that he is more independent compare to a few months ago.

*sigh* I wish he could stop growing for a while…

Bringing him out without any helper is now possible for me. I could tell him to stay near my sight or even ask him to help me out finding something. He listens to instructions quite a bit recently.

Caden is a very helpful, cheerful and always excited for everything.

I like this 3 years old phase. They are still as cute, but not as independent as the older ones.

Food update, he is still a very picky eater. But I should give him credit by wanting to try out most of the food that we offer him, although he doesn’t like them most of the time.

His loves for milk in still unchanged. He drinks about 1500ml per day and loves all kinds of milk.

3 Years Old

Caden is 3 years old today and since I knew that we will only be back at 10pm last night from Gold Coast, we decided that there will not be any big party this year.

Today I let him rest at home, too.

But tomorrow, we will have a small party at school.

I can't imagine that he is 3 already. He is so big now. He was only weighing 2.9kg not long a go...and now he is as tall as my waist and weighing 17kg and very talkative.

I am hoping he won't grow too fasttt.... I hope he will always be mommy's little boy [*yeah...dream on...*]

Young Grandparents of Two

Fish Feeding

Quite boring for us as the fish was small and not colorful. Caden enjoyed himself as usual...

Great Beach... I Must Say...

Looking forward to more adventures today.

Sunset Tour to a Nearby Island

There was not much we can do today as we arrived here in Hayman at 2.30pm.

Our personal butler, John, recommend us to go for a sunset tour to nearby island. Basically, we what we’ll do is to see and enjoy the sunset.

We were brought there by a small boat. Took us only about 15 minutes to reach the tiny island and we waited!!

The wind was strong and it was a little bit chilly for us, though there were some old ladies (about my grandma’s age), just done with swimming and were only using their swimsuits and towels.

There was nothing there. We were dropped off with food, towels and 2 big umbrellas.

We were too bored and too cold to wait for the sunset. In the end, we left the island before the sunset. ^_^

Caden was happily playing with us and the sand. He didn’t seem to be bothered by the strong wind. I regretted to not bring his jacket along. I hope he didn’t caught a flu.

Starving: Late Lunch at 3pm

Hayman Island

We went to Hayman Island by a seaplane that we have chattered a while ago. It was the first experience for all of us to be on a seaplane.

.

When I explained to Caden that this plane can land on water, he was a little bit confused and kept asking me, "why mommy? why could this plane land on water??"

.

When in the end the plane landed on the water by the Hayman Island, Caden couldn't stop looking outside and shouted, "we have landed on water, mommy!!"

The island from above was beautiful. Let's just hope it is really a beautiful island to stay in.

Brisbane Airport

Here we were at Brisbane airport again, but this time we were in the domestic terminal.

Virgin Blue will take us to the Hamilton Island, and from there, we will take our chartered plane to the Hayman Island.

Caden is behaving quite well this 2 days, though he cling much more like a glue to me. I hope he will continue be this way until the end of the trip.

Hyatt Downtown Brisbane

While waiting for our taxi to bring us back to the airport.

Holiday...!!!

Off we go to the airport this morning. Our flight is at 9.30am. So we have to leave home at about 7.30am.

The check-in process and the flight to Brisbane, Australia was great. Most importantly, Sasya and Caden were good in the plane.

We are going to stay at Hyatt in downtown Brisbane for a night and will have to catch the next flight to Hamilton Island...and then another flight to Hayman Island.

Plenty of rest tonight and so much fun tomorrow. ^_^

H.O.T Sentosa

Suddenly, Caden told me that he wanted to go to the beach. So we went to Sentosa today, though Vivo City.

We took the monorail and play at the beach side for quite a while.

It was a super hot day, but I think Caden enjoyed it very much.

I spent more of my time under the shade, while daddy accompanied Caden to play.

Quite a number of my friends told me that I am so much darker compare to a few months ago. *oh no…*
