Singapore Flyer on 26 Jun 10

Koby's school is going to re-open for Semeser 3 on 28 Jun 10, the coming Monday. We decided to bring Koby for a ride on the Singapore Flyer. Gugu managed to get dscounted tickets at 50% off. We went on a ride together with Ah Gong and Ah Ma. It was quite an experience especially when you have to hop on the cubicle of the wheel. It just keeps moving, so u have to be fast. Mummy has to carry Koby tight and hop on it. We were lucky again when we were at the top of the wheel, there is the NDP rehearsal and the helicopter and fighter planes flew pass us again. Though we could not hear the noise from inside. Thought I would say the view is not as spectacular as on Duxton...but the experience of being in an air-conditioned cubicle enjoying the surroundinggs is worth the try.

Pinnacle @ Duxton on 19 Jun 10

Lay Teng invited us to her new house at Pinnacle @ Duxton for house warming on 19 Jun 10. The fried chicken wings and wonton she made were yummy. Koby especially likes the crust of the chicken wings.

The Sky Garden on the 50th storey was really a spectacular sight in the evening. The roof were interlinked where we can see the different surroundings at different angles. There was also lots of space for the kids to run around. We were very lucky to see the NDP' 2010 rehearsal. The helicopters (with the Singapore flag) and fighter planes flew pass us. On the 26th storey was a sheltered jogging track and mini playground.

Sentosa, Resorts World Universal Studios on 2 Apr 10

Papa brought Koby to Sentosa Resorts World, Universal Studios on 2 Apr 10. It was rather crowded. We took a train from Vivo City. The best place Koby liked most is the Hershey's chocolate. Look at him posing with the XL size Hershey's Chocolate piggy bank. We also brought Koby to the shopping area outside the casiono. Before we went back, we took the train to tour the other stations in Sentosa. Sentosa has definately changed alot since I last went for the teambuilding course....

School Excursion @ Pasir Ris Fish Farm on 6 May 10

Chinese Kindergarden organised a school excursion at one of the Pasir Ris Fish Farm for the pre-nusery kids on 6 May 10. The theme was aligned with the classes taught in Semester 2 - Pets.

Mummy brought Koby there on that sunny day. The kids were given food to feed the koi fish, chickens, ducks, rabbits and a noisy goose. Koby likes feeding the chickens and fishes best. After feeding, the kids were each given a net and a bucket to catch the 'logang' fishes. Up till to-day, there is only one surviving black molly left in Koby's aquarium.

The excursion then close off with an animal show where the kids can touch the mice, gerbil and rabbits. Koby is quite scared by the animals. He had managed to 'high five' with a dwarf rabbit though...

Overall, the excursion has been fun and it was our first time there. Didn't know that Pasir Ris has such great places for the kids...thumbs up...will definately bring Koby there again!

Chinese New Year

Koby and mei mei

Group Pic (with Koby yawning away)

It has been a long time since I updated Koby's blog.

Koby started pre-nusery school at Chinese Kindergarden in Jan 2010. He is still in the process of adapting to school life. Afterall he is still very young as compared to his peers who are much older than him. Unfortunately, he is also fell sick more often. He just recovered from flu and cough. Going to make him eat more vitamins and fruits to build up his immune system.

On day 2 of CNY, we visited our Hokkaido tour group members Jack and Helen's home at AMK. Dear~ missed mei mei (little milia. Hubby always call her mei mei).Mei mei was only 20 mths old when she went to Hokkaido with them. She is still as cute and skin as white as ever. We hit off with this couple and baby very well in Hokkaido. We ate together, went onjen together, etc. Dear~ and I had an enjoyable trip in Nov 09. Afterall, it was our first trip to Japan and Dear~ had promised to bring me to Japan before we even got married....

Coming to 21 months old

It has been almost 3 months since I have uploaded Koby's blog...

We brought Koby for a fishing trip on a sunday morning upon recommendation by
Uncle Tan Lye Soon that there is a place in Yishun called the Bottletree Park where kids can catch fish at 10 bucks. Koby was more interested in swimming in the pond...haa...eventually it was Daddy, Mummy, Aunty Lina who catch...haa...it's supposed to be $10 per pax...eventually was $10 for 4 pax. It was a nice quiet place to spend the lazy sunday morning away.

And finally coming to 21 months, Koby can say a few words "bye bye", "mama", "mum mum", "up" and he also started to follow a few fews he hear. Like today, I heard him saying "zip" while he was watching the Baby can read VCD and say "train" while looking at his Thomas the Train coloring book. We just gotta talk more to him so that in no time he will be able to speak in sentences...Koby "jia you"...Mummy look forward to talking to you....

Koby is 18 months old..at last!!!

Daddy's car....

mmmm.....

I am a little tumble tot

Finally, our little one is 1yr and 6mths...was a really long wait. haa...

This month we have registered him for pre-school (N1) next year at Chinese Kindergarden which is off outram road. There will be an orientation in Oct / Nov this year.

In preparing him for school, we have also sign him up for the tumble tots gym at Jurong East, every sunday at 10.30am. Probably boys are slower...he is still shy and cry when he sess the teacher. But I must comment that Teacher Nadia was very very patient. Despite his crying etc (keep disturbing others...so 'ma lu'), she still encourage us to let him slowly adapt. She even prepare his favourite ambulance when he comes for class...we were very happy when he did not cry last week. The other malay mother in the class were also very nice...Maya's mother even thought that Maya probably had frightened Koby as she always loves to run and dance around...Maya is very active in participating in the class and very sweet little girl.

Koby's favourite past time at home now is watching the TV and playing his Tanaka cars. He has quite a number...a few was given from others while the rest is bought by mommy. He prefers cars to trains and loves to make the engine sound 'mmmmmm' while he is on daddy's car.

Poor Koby Disfigured!!!

Koby'd scar on the left side of his forehead

Haven't been updating the blog for some time. One unfortunate incident happened to Koby in Apr 09.

On 12 Apr 09, after the tumble thots gym class at Jurong East, we headed down to IMM for lunch...probably will be a lifetime regret as Koby got a scar from a fall. While we were waiting for Lina to finish her lunch, Koby was playing at the 'Egg Machine' outside the Kopitiam. As he wasn't very stable, he tripped, fell and knocked his head against the metal part where you turn the ''egg' from the 'Egg Machine'. He was bleeding profusely and we brought him to his PD clinic. The cut was small but the doctor had to 'glue' the cut as it was quite deep. The good thing is no stiches required (phew! otherwise he probably will cry his eyes out).

Dr Edmund Koh was nice. On the third follow-up session, he gave us the antu-scar cream FOC. However, after 1 month plus now, Koby still has the scar. Hopefully as he grow older and his skin will probably strench so that the scar will disappear. Anyway, Koby did not remember the incident anymore and can't keep still as usaual. sigh...

Koby loves Korean strawberries...

Koby simply loves to eat korean straberries and could eat by himself using a toothpick. While enjoying his strawberries, he also makes funny faces on the camera. These two videos are his favourite and will always smile at himself while watching it. He really looks cute with the short hair-cut...very 'armani' style...

Popo's 54th Birthday @ Singapore Flyer Seafood Paradise

Koby started to walk on his own on 9 Feb 09, when he was 14.5 months. Abt two weeks later on 24 Nov 09, eve of his 15 mth birthday, he could stand up on his own. But currently he is stillwobbly and don't look where he is going. He had a bleeding lip last sat and blue-black on his right eye the day after.

We celebrated Popo's 54th birthday at Seafood Paradise @ Singapore Flyer. The restaurant's ambience was good, food is nice and prices were reasonable with complimentary carparking. What's more, there were big fishes in the tanks that kept Koby entertained. The mango cake was from Jack's Place. The place was recommended by Uncle Francis and Aunt Zhenyi. Will definately go there again.

Chinese New Year 2009

Year of the Ox.....happy new year 2009

Koby, mummy and piggy....

Koby doing the "pole dancing". One of his favourite songs from the Baby Genius is "Vinko" the dancing bear. He will try to imitate the bear and swing his arms from side to side....

This year is Koby's 2nd CNY. We went to "Chun Dao He Pan" at the floating Marina waterfront after dinner (Ching Zhu's aunty's treat us for Lo Hei with Mexican Abalone and Chilli Crab at Henderson after striking 4D).

Daddy has chicken pox so we stayed away from him this year...hee....

On the same day, the Chingay procession was going on aound the area. Koby went to bed immediately after we got home at around 11pm (which was past his usual sleeping time at 10am)

13th Month & X'mas Day 2009

Mummy, Koby and "Timothy"
Koby and "Timothy"

The real Timothy is 6 years and 1 mth as at Dec 08...

he's also November baby, same as Koby and Uncle Francis

Koby received a present - a balloon Corgi doggy (which color resembles my pet Jack Rusell - Timothy) from Uncle Francis on X'mas Day. Whenever u ask where's his dog, he will turn and look for it. We noticed that he can understand simple words, especially those things that he likes (ie balloon, ball, dog, car, etc). It's amazing that babies can learn real fast..though they don't know how to talk yet.

Post Koby's Birthday Party

At last...Daddy, Mummy, Koby and all his presents...thanks to all the uncles and aunties and gor gor and jie jie...

Koby's favourite present - Winnie the Pooh jet plane from Uncle Francis and Aunty Zhenyi...

Invitation to Jerry's 1st Birthday

On 13 Sep 08 (a day before "zhong qu jie"), cousin Jerry celebrated his 1st birthday at Rio Vista Condo Function Room. We also brought along 2 of his lanterns (ccoutesy of ah ma and po po) to celebrate "zhong qu jie". There were also lots of kids and babies at the party. Here's a cute shot of Koby on the playmat.

Cake cutting time!!! Koby was so excited when he saw the Thomas the train cake as he has a similar Thomas toy train. See that smile on his face...it was as though it's his birthday. His birthday is still 2 months away...Koby should be looking forward to it.

We brought Koby to the Delta swimming complex for his first swim on a sunday morning. At first he was a little scared but when Daddy called out to him he was alright already.

Koby and mummy...

Koby splashing water all over his face...

Koby's enjoying the swim and we have decided to bring him for swimming every weekends

Koby and Daddy

Koby is almost 9 mths and has 5 teeth already. One more will be coming out pretty soon. At times it still gets itchy and he will practically chew on his toys and books....

Daddy bought Koby a tricycle for $60. Koby likes to ride on the tricycle and be pushed around the neighbourhood...at least he would be entertained and watch the other children play at the playground downstairs...

Koby's 1st trip to the zoo

Then we decided to put the piggy cap on him as well...he is quite photogenic and knows how to smile when we take his picture...this marks the end of the trip

Koby was so excited when we put on this duckie cap on him...he was so happy and laughing all the time

On our way out, there's a souvenior shop near the exit. Aunty Lina saw this huge white tiger and decided to put Koby on the back of the $1000 tiger...

Koby and Po Po...the penguin happened to dived into the water and splashing the water everywhere when this pic was taken...that's why both have this "mouth wide open" expression...

Koby and Daddy to be "sent" to Australia...pic taken at the Australia theme park

Ah Meng may have died, but she will always be remembered by evey S'porean...
