Guess Who?

GUESS WHO'S BACK!

You won't believe who's baaaaack! I was awoken by some noises from outside at 3.30am and just couldn't fall asleep anymore. So I thought either I just tossed and turned in bed or go surf the net.... Well, the rest is history and here I am, after spending more than an hour getting lots of music sheets online.

I've been MIA since ... gee.... Dec last year. After my MIL left, my mom arrived and I hardly had time to sit down to put my thoughts onto virtual paper. I have lots of photos ready though. My BIL Francis just went back yesterday noon after a 4 day visit. It was so much fun catching up. He, my sis Audrey and the boys will be coming here for a holiday in August... Winter? No problems for them... it's like summer in Manchester. I bet you while I'm all clad in thermals and woollens, the boys will be in singlets and shorts.

Last Friday was "harmony Day' and a few Malaysian and Singaporean friends from Canning Vale Primary School decided to put up a "parent performance" singing the Mandarin version of "Tomorrow will be better" while I played the piano. All we had were about 3 practices within the 2 weeks and boy did we pull it off... We made teachers cry... no, not with the singing... apparently the song was "very emotional", "very touching" ...Honestly, I didn't mean for THAT to happen! I promise, next years' performance "will be better". Seriously, it was good, the moms and dads sang very well. Oh BTW, if you see a sea of orange.. yes, that's the colour code for Harmony Day.

Where was I? Can see?
The picture's a bit blur. Amateur photographer lah. I wore orange ribbons in my hair, orange beaded necklace, orange earrings... man I looked like a walking butternut squash. It was a lot of fun. Bryan watched from the 2nd row. After the performance, I walked up to him and gave him my orange tulip which I was given earlier and I noticed his Education Assistant, Mrs. Hills wiping her teary eyes! It was fantastic!

Bryan's 5th Birthday!

20th February 2009 started as a normal school day for Bryan, only thing different was that he had with him 40 Freddos chocolate packets to share with his classmates. He received a very pleasant surprise too!... His teachers gave him a packet of dinosaur toys! He was thrilled to bits!

After school, just as scheduled, he came home to tea and a further 2 hours of ABA with pretty Amanda, from 3.30-5.30pm. Full day, eh? Just like a working adult.... then he had his wish.... MacDonald's nuggets with his Cheh Cheh followed by his favourite, icecream cake... what else.. a Freddo's, of course.

The "IN" thing End 2008

As at X’mas 08, Caitlyn was still into Bratz and Bryan was into the young Ben 10. This were their Countdown Chocolate Calendars…

I wonder what they'd be in to this years' end.

Look What I Found Lurking...

Trying to clear as many old photos as possible.....

My bad… I didn’t post these yummilicious cakes in Nov last year.. They were Angie and Sam’s mini b’day cakes. The only thing I made was the fruity agar agar at the background.

Water Babes

It’s been a long while since I posted the kids’ swimming pics. Caitlyn’s a little weak with the kicking…I mean, look at her legs! Like a pair of chopsticks! So I get her to jump on the mini trampoline at home, do some out-of-the water kicks. Last Sunday showed better results. This girl ah… eats lots but still so skinny… I guess like the mummy huh?
I Wanna Do It Myyyyyyyyyyyyy Waaaaaaay
Bryan is a little daredevil… loves to swim on his own, refuses any sorts of floatation devices. Dives constantly… My theory is that he loves the serenity underwater because being there cuts off ALL the surrounding sounds which he has learnt to cope (abt 90%). He told Glenys he wanted to swim like a dolphin, which is a higher level swim style.. Of course Glenys said no, thinking she wants to continue to work on his free-style first. And to Glenys’ surprise, Bryan did the dolphin on his own! I don’t mean to toot my own horn but … DAMN! Even I can’t do it!
