Little one on local fashion blog

By Mummy :

This post has got to supercede the ten that i just listed on my to-do cos if i wait til later, i might just forget the link or remember that it ever happened...

Just recently, Sis managed to get the tickets to the Singapore Flyer and so I took leave to take Cel for the flight. Little one was happy cos its her FIRST time and im glad too since we din have to cough up the $$$ to go on the flyer.. tickets are not cheap! and after been on it, i wont tink i will spend the $$$ to go unless its FOC of cos... :) HB was working so gota give it a miss, has told sis to continue balloting for the tickets and if we do get it again, we will do the night ride together... On the journey to Cityhall to meet sis, Little one fell asleep ( was her naptime ). I had to carry her fr the bus to take the MRT cos i took the wrong bus and it doesnt stop at CityHall.. Thankfully Cel woke up at CityHall and spared my arms the ache, shes 18.5kg now!!!

While waiting for sis and Brennen, a young lady came and ask if she cld take a pic of Cel so i allowed her. Cel 'forced' a smile for her in her very drowsy mode heehee.. the lady then gave me a link to her web and said she does a fashion blog. sounds interesting and so i checked the blog few days later and saw the posting :) its nice seeing our little one on someone's blog and of cos, being praised for having great taste :D

here's the posting : http://www.mycherrymagazine.com/2010/02/when-they-are-young.html

isn't she just the cutest? i love her stripped trapeze top paired with skinny jeans and the loveliest black shoes adorned with ribbons. keeping her straight hair in place with a floral headband, she pulls off the parisian chic look to a tee. her mom has great taste! and that's one thing i can't wait to do if i have kids - dress them :) she was a little shy because her mom said she just woke up but later when i bumped into them again, a bright smile lit up her face.

stitching out with love, Nicole Then

Celeste's first day at school

2009-09-17T00:25:00.000-07:00

By Mummy :

This post is wayyyyyy overdue but still i had better get it down cos its an IMPORTANT day to remember... its our little girl's first day in school!!!

Date :2nd Jan 2009

Event : Cel's first day of school

School : Glory Kindergarten

Class : N1 Hope ( PM )

As this day approached, i was getting all excited and geared up wondering how our little one will react in school... part of me was hoping for her to be reali brave ( no crying ) and to enjoy herself, the other part of me was hoping for her to cry!!! so that i cld be there to comfort her and tell her not to be scared :p HB said i was crazy... hahaha Anyway all of us were reali excited over it and Cel herself was cackling and giggling the whole morning... While waiting for the school bus, Daddie was busy filiming his little princess on video. He even wanted to film the whole process of Cel gettin on and off the school bus!!! Cos the school bus only allowed one adult, he drove MIL tog to the school to wait for our bus. As the bus drove into the school compound, I saw HB with his camera filiming and waiting at the door to film Cel getting down... this daddie... *faint* While Cel was playing together with her classmates, Daddie couldnt stop filiming either... i seriously dun know how many videos he took that day... hahaha tho i found it abit over the top at tat moment, but when we viewed them later on it certainly was something very memorable and nice!

Little one did not cry!!! She is reali our brave girl... she played well wf her frens and listened attentively to her teachers. She was responding well to the teachers except for the chinese teacher... Cel could not speak chinese at all tho she understands... The teacher noticed it and told MIL not to worry, she promised that 3months later, Cel will be speaking chinese to which she reali did! :) yay!!! she sings chinese songs as well now...

When it was time for lunch, we followed behind and watch Cel walk to the eatery with her frens. As the teacher led them to say grace, Cel followed suit and clamped her little hands tog with her eyes closed... that instant, my eyes swelled up wf tears... it was just too sweet a sight :) Little one is certainly very happy wf her eyes gleaming with joy... Daddie and Mummie are certainly glad that Cel's first day at school went reali well :)

Little memories documented

2009-06-25T22:45:00.001-07:00

Mummy speaks :

Sorry for the looooong absence and delay in blogging... half of 2009 has flown by and yet my last entry was at Xmas 2008!!! * self slap lightly * must start to get some work done before i cant remember wat has been happening... doesnt help that work has been extremely stressful tis year and causing me to be very grumpy, lazy and tired :( but well, just tis week i told myself i must start to get those dark clouds behind me and move on. work is afterall work... wats more impt is my family :)

Just for a start, wana document some of Celeste's antics and conversations :

1) Heart warming antic :

Cel has been waking up early every morning to send Mummie to the bus interchange. She obviously looks tired and sleepy but will drag herself up and lie down on the sofa while i get ready. So my helper and Cel walks me there... Cel will grab the papers for me and then kiss me goodbye before i board the bus. This morning while nearing the interchange, i saw tat my bus was there aldy and since i was rushing, i ran off but not before telling her i need to go. While running, i heard my little ger shouting non stop : Mummie bye bye! On the bus, i called home to make sure she was safe at home, she was crying!!! When asked why, she said : I haven said I LOVE YOU... awwwwwwww.... I was instantly soooo sorry tat i had to run for the bus, shld have skipped tat bus and heard tat magical sentence fr my little ger...

2) Heart wrenching :

With Cel starting pre nursery tis year, her body's immunity started to take a step back. After 2 months, she started falling sick almost monthly... currently on her 3rd round of antibiotics, shes reali vulnerable to throat infections* heartpain* Well, blame it on me... i allowed her to eat durian for 3 times in a week, and i din give her salt water... lesson learnt!!! anyway cos Cel was sick wf fever, Daddie as usual took leave to stay home wf her, she was sooooo happie and stuck to Daddie. It makes me sad cos she will ask me : Mummie, are u going to office today? Can you stay at home to look after me? im sick... Told my colic bout it and she said the only way is to buy Toto and if i strike, voila! can retire aldy! haha... i heeded the advice and bought for a week, no luck at all, not even 3 numbers... how to retire??? so, i stopped buying and continued working... sorry Cel, Mummie could oni make it up to u at nite :(

3) Funny conversation :

On the phone -
Mummy : im sick celeste...
Cel : tell ur boss to let u go home la!
Mummy : cannot lei...
Cel : *big sigh* ok, never mind, i will ask the police to catch your boss tomorrow!
Mummy : hahahahaha

Mummy : im stil in the office, cant go home yet... gota OT
Cel : ( in a very soft and secretive tone ) later when ur boss is lookin at the computer, u slowly quietly crawl on the floor and go home, dun let ur boss see u...
Mummy : * rolls eyes* too much tv!!!

ok, Part 2 will be in another post... gota get back to work :p but before tat, here's a pic of my princess taken recently :)

Xmas 2008

2009-03-02T20:24:00.000-08:00

Its the time of the year again to be merry and jolly! Xmas has always been a very nice season for my family and I... Xmas 2008 was filled wf gatherings and pressies :) Our xmas tree is up!

These 3 decor balls were hung by me and i call them FAMILY! Daddie and Mummie were reali over the moon cos i kept going its FAMILY - Daddie, Mummie and Celeste! And i make sure that the 3 balls are there every morning when i wake up.

Mummie says : It reali was a pleasant surprise to hear you say 'family' since we haven't reali taught you this word :) At times you actuali held Daddie and Mummie by the neck, pulled our face close to you and proudly say " We are family ". You do it everywhere, be it at home or while outside. On lookers will smile and say : so sweet! Indeed you are such a sweetie and you definitely light up Daddie and Mummie's life!

Xmas shopping at Taka... always the best place for Mummie to clear her shopping list.

Annual xmas gathering wf my buddies. Tis year was held by Auntie Carol and Uncle Keith..

Xmas gathering at Auntie Danielle's house. Here's me being the little drummer wf Didi Ian's new drum set...

Yes, long awaited boxing day is here!

Mummie and I with our 'Family'...

First present to unwrap - from Daddie and Mummie..

I think its my fave Princess Ariel stuff again - from Ah yi and Uncle Brennen...

Finally... all unwrapped! Thanks to everyone for your pressies!

Bits of everything

2009-03-02T20:05:00.000-08:00

Here is a little bit of catching up on my updates...

Hide and seek has been a very nice game lately and i am gettin really smart at where to hide!!! i go into cupboards and under the quilt lying flat which makes it hard for my parents to find me heehee... here's one pic tat Mummie took and she just can't stop laughing when she saw where i hid... What's that hump??? It's me!!! Caught by Mummie in between the sheets... argh... This was taken on the Sentosa bus, had wanted a picnic but weather wasn't good... thus we lounged at the coffee house and took the bus around the island. Here's a smiley drawn by Mummie cos i was askin her to do one. it clearly indicates my mood :) wat's more, we had company!!! Didi Ian and Gene came, as well as Auntie Fiona and Auntie Chao Zhen...
Didi Ian all covered up...

And Didi Gene wf Auntie Fiona... Random shot of me slulrping my milk... Recently, Mummie says im not a baby anymore and so, went the teats... i now use a Mickey Mouse straw for my milk :)

Cheeky me wf Daddie dearest... look at how i have 'decorated' Daddie's face wf my stickers.. At Boat Quay waiting to fetch Mummie from work... Nice scenery wf boats and buildings... kept asking Daddie to bring me on the ferry to which of cos my proposal was rejected! :s

East coast park outing... supposed to be just cycling but playful me went dashing to the beach and ended up in a mess! well, messy is fun :) Daddie was on all alert cos i was fascinated with the waves and was running into the water. Daddie got rather wet and sticky thus we headed home straight to change before heading out for dinner...Good! Good! i was going thumbs up cos Mummie allowed me to savour roasted pig for the first time! not too oily cos Mummie scrapped away wat ever fats she could see and it was crispy and yummilicious! i wanted more but of cos Mummie din allow so it was just tat one slice... anyone else gettin married? i want roasted pig!!!Can you find me??? haha, when Daddie took tis pic, he mms it to Mummie and ask if she could find me, it sure brightened up Mummie's day in the office...

It was Barney in town and cos it was also performing at BPP which was just a walk across, Daddie and Nainai took me there though i have already seen it earlier at another mall. It created a scare nonetheless... cos it was crowded wf children and i wasn't exactly tall, when it was dismissal time, it was chaos! Daddie had earlier on instructed NaiNai to stand at the other exit but she thought i had gone to Daddie and thus came back to the other exit to find that i wasn't there!!! panic!!! Daddie was all worried and looking around until i tapped him from the back and called : Daddie! Big sigh of relief...

Celeste's FIRST Disney show LIVE

2009-02-23T19:14:00.000-08:00

By Mummie :

Our little girl has been very 'princessy' since August 2008 ... It all started with her princess story books which we read to her every night. Then she got hooked when Ah yi bought her a DVD showing Princess Ariel. And yes, Ariel was her fave princess of all... she can watch the DVD daily even though on lookers like us could even tell what the next lines were gona b. She even got us to call her 'Princess Celeste' :) haha, girls are forever girls... of cos, we followed her majestic order and made her happy. At times when we forgot, she will get angry and place her arms on her royal hips and say : call me Princess Celeste! oops! fiesty princess we have here... heehee...

By chance, i found out that there was this Disney show that will feature three princess tales - Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. There three stories were familiar to Cel and thus i got the tickets. Cheapo Mummie thot Daddie wont b interested in such girly shows so i oni bought 2 tickets, save money!!! Anyway HB said that he wont really appreciate so he would wait for us outside while we gers enjoy ourselves heehee...

True enuf, Cel enjoyed herself to the fullest at the show! she was all fascinated wf the props and lightings. When Snow White was to be offered that poisonous apple, Cel was frantically waving her hand and saying: NO! NO! so cute!

HB caused 2 hiccups tat nite though 1) he forgot to pass me the camera and i had to take these pics wf my poor resolution camera... 2) he forgot to pass me the cash he was supposed to and i was cash-less!!! poor cel could oni look wf envy at the other kids enjoying their HUGE candy floss and rainbow looking ice balls served in pretty cups.. i felt so super sorry but there was nothing i could do, there wasn't any ATM machine there and they do not accept nets/credit card - only CASH. argh... could only get Cel to make do wf tat one lollipop i had prepared for her :( sorry darling! )But cos i msg HB and told him bout Cel's dissapointment, he managed to sneak in at the foyer area after the show and bought Cel a Princess Belle cup wf a rainbow ice ball inside. Happy princess celeste i had tat nite :)

Little one obviously all captivated by the stage...

Poster ad for the next Disney on Ice show - and yes, Daddie has bought the tickets and we are all going together this time! Making do wf that small lolly throughout the show while drooling over others' candy floss and ice balls... thankfully, cel din whine and fuss...Princess Belle cup that came wf an ice ball made Cel's day...

Til then, looking forward to our Disney on Ice show in March 09!

Mid Autumn 2008

2009-01-13T04:31:00.000-08:00

haha, yes ... its another back dated entry...
since we have now stepped into 2009, Mummie has decided to force herself to update my blog... she has been busy wf work and it doesnt help tat our helper went on home leave for 3 long weeks... now that our helper is back, Mummie is taking this opportunity to finish up those old entries before it piles up...

Mid Autumn was rather eventful... My parents brot me to Chinatown and Daddie got me a first ever lantern tat needs a candle to light it up!!! Bye bye to battery operated ones :) We had a first lantern walk prior to the actual day while at ah yi's house... on the actual day itself, Daddie and Mummie brot me to the park in our estate and it was kinda dark... but fret not, we had our lanterns to light up the way... the walk was rather nice except tat there were mozzies and Mummie got attacked by them... thus the trip was shortened. i am looking fwd to Mid Autumn 2009 cos i heard that i would b able to start playing wf sparks... ;)

A Bit of Everything

2008-12-18T22:05:00.003-08:00

Mummie has got some random shots in her handphone which is abit of everything... so here they are :)Me with my Mary Poppins hat :) Made tis hat in children's church and because it resmbled Mary Poppins and it is one of my fave shows, thus the name... but cos the platic bowl from which the hat was made had a split, it cut my chin ( if you could scrutinize and see ).. thus Mummie threw it away tat same nite... sob...Me and my smiling face! i love smiling faces and totali detest sad faces... whenever Mummie gets upset by my nottie acts, she will draw a sad face on the board and i would go why? And when i apologise, Mummie will draw a happy face which of cos made me veyr happy :)

There was once when Mummie wanted roti prata for supper and thus she threw one sad face and showed to me. So i told Daddie to go and buy for Mummie, i also placed my order of egg prata haha... when Daddie came back, a smiling face was all ready in the living room to welcome him.. hee, thanks Daddie!!! Random shot wf Mummie...

Just few months ago, i finali learnt how to use chopsticks! i use them for my meals nowadays... Been wanting to use chopsticks since very young, always snatching my parents' and wanting them. so now, tis is my PERSONAL pair..

Here's me in my raincoat and my little brolly under the rain.. At one stage, dear me was so terrified of the thunder and rain tat i will cry and get cranky when the skies start to get dark. i will then ask and even shout for Mr Sun to come out!!! so Daddie and Mummie explained that we need rain, else i wont have water to bathe, drink etc.. and one day, while i was gettin cranky again due to the rain, Daddie decided to bring me down to 'play' with the rain.. thus i got changed into the 'armour' and went down splashing and stamping away on the puddles.. it was sooooo much fun! From then on,i was no longer afraid!

Pizza Baking!

2008-12-16T21:20:00.000-08:00

Back dated post...

My frens and i had a great time together at my place, and besides the usual messy fun , we had baking fun!!! Mummie and Auntie Rachel went ahead to do the dough first while waiting for the rest since the dough needs time to rise. When everyone has marked attendance, we started with the making of the pizza... Mummie cut the ham/ sausages/ cheese/ mushrroms into small pieces and gave each of us a bowl to contain our ingredients. Oh, before tat we had to spread a yucky looking paste on the dough... And the funni thing was oni I found it eeks, the rest were happily spreading it on.. argh... i thot it looked chilli like and told Mummie its 'la-la' = spicy. Mummie had a hard time explaining and reasoning wf me to spread it on and how a pizza would not be named a pizza without tat important sauce... BUT she still failed... mine is 'kosong' pizza, plain! Uncle Keith was nice enough to offer to try my kosong pizza when its baked..

After the adding of ingredients, we were left to play and the mummies started to bake our pizzas. It was such a crowd and all of us went haywire playing and messing up the place... Duncan and Kenisha were napping away despite our thunderous yells and screams. Finally the wait was over, here comes our self baked pizzas!Four pizzaz, one each for myself, Megan, Dylan and Caleb... Pretty aren't they?Mummies and us posing for a pic, mission accomplished! yeah...Me and the 'not done by me' pizza... it had tomato paste cos Mummie promised to bake one for Gor Gor Ezra, our neighbour... mine was baking in the oven still. As it was gettin late, Mummie din wana get the rest and also Gor Gor Ezra to wait too long ... Slicing up the pizza for Gor Gor Ezra...

Here's me decorating my 'kosong' pizza... stealing a bite of cheese hee...

As to wat happened to my pizza, it was Daddie and Mummie's breakfast for the next day.. it tasted reali yummi according to them cos the dough was crispy and thin, ingredients fresh and nice. Uncle Brennen commented tat its not a pizza wfout the paste, its a toast... :s anyway, im sure pizza or toast, my parents still liked it cos it was baked by me and its my FIRST pizza :)

Splashing time with Daddie

2008-11-26T21:14:00.001-08:00

Back dated post...

Its yet another back dated post, Mummie has been super busy at work lately... by the time she comes home, she is too tired to move or stay up to blog... so since she is catching a little breather now, she decided to do a quick post...

This swimming trip was actually in late Oct, at Woodlands Swimming Complex. This place brings back fond memories of Mummie's childhood days... she used to swim every weekend here and even had her swimming classes here. Now that the baby pool is revamped into a playground, it is much harder to resist driving to Woodlands for a dip :)

Daddie went into the waters with me as Mummie decided to stay dry... not exactly though cos i still made her kinda wet when she was showering me hee... It was a wonderful day of splish and splash, now am waiting for my parents to bring me to the newly opened playground at the zoo!!! Mummie intends to bring me within this 2 weeks.. yipee!!! Here's me climbing up and down the playground... i get under water at times when i go down the slide but nope, im not afraid! Many adults were rather amazed at my courage :) but only Mummie was in shock haha...

Daddie insisted for me to put on this life jacket that he bought. but after tis one time wear, he decided it was erm, rather useless... bye bye jacket! And its bye bye forever since Auntie Nat forgot to bring it back when we left...

Happy Happy!

I am a Mighty Saver!

2008-10-17T20:04:00.001-07:00

Just 2 months ago, Ah yi gave me a coin bank from OCBC and insisted that Mummie open a savings account in OCBC for me to make my own deposits... so what's so special bout tis OCBC account? Ah yi thinks its super cute to see a little todd climb up the steps and hand coins to the counterstaff to make their own deposit. What's more, everytime i make a deposit, i get encouragement from the counter staff with stickers... which are what i like :) Mummie din think it was anythin special at first but then under Ah yi's persuasion, she eventually did open an account for me. And when i finali went to make my first deposit, Mummie understood wat ah yi meant by 'cute'! First time she saw a little todd at the counter and handling her little transaction...hahaha..

But first, i have to earn my coins to put into my coin bank. everyday when Daddie and Mummie return from work, they would ask if i have been a good girl and of cos the appraisal is done by Auntie Nat, my caretaker. so if i am good, i get many coins... on days when i am not so good, i get just tat one or two coins. Sometimes i get coins from Ah yi and Uncle Brennen too... Having accumulated a heavy load of coins, it was time to head to the bank. Mummie was worried i will cry if my coin bank turns empty suddenly.. so she told me tat once i deposit my coins, i will get a sweet treat - a LOLLIPOP! ok, tat sure sounds like a good deal to me... :)

At the bank, there was this special counter just for little todds like me... i steadily climbed up the steps and handed the coin bank to the auntie. Mummie thot it was such a cute sight to see me at the counter so she started to snap a few pics to blog...Me and my coin bank.. Oh oh, my bank is empty now...

Looking closely at the auntie as she empties the coins...

Studio shots - 2008

2008-09-02T23:01:00.001-07:00

By Celeste's Mummie :

30 August 2008
Saturday

Today, we went for a photo shoot at Foto U after our last shoot in 2007. That was when our little princess was turning one year old. This time round, it was with special meanings that we came for this photo shoot :)

Special meaning #1 - 8 August commemorates the 10th year that hubby and i have known each other, 9th year we have been together and the 7th year we have been married!!! 7 yr itch? hee... very itchy thats why went to book this photo shoot to preserve the memories hahaha :) wat's more, there's our little girl celebrating this special 10th year with us...

To Hubby : Happie 10th year Baobei Hubby! Thanks for being my wonderful husband and Celeste's wonderful daddie :o

Special meaning #2 - 28 August is the day i am graduating from my 2 year part time course :) it hasnt been easy, really... my baby was still young then and had it not been initiated by my boss, i wont think i would have started on it... close frens hav been predicting that my tap will flow on convocation day. well, i almost did but i held back.. as i was waiting for my turn to be conferred, i thought back of the times i had to rush to school, do projects and gettin away from my then infant Celeste... was telling hubby that i must have neglected our girl during this course but he was all defensive and said i had been spending pretty much quality time wf her and that explains how close the bond my girl and i share.. okay, feeling less guilty then.

Am glad that this course has ended and am enjoying every evening with dearie Celeste now... going home is sometin to look fwd to, with her standing at the gate and giving that very very happie look and saying : Mummie! i miss you! she will open the gate for me now and give generous kisses before walking me to the room to change out of my office wear. she's reali such a sweetie... hubby said our girl has been reali 'deh' lately and we are now enjoying her like never before .. oh ya, wana thank my family for the support during this period, esp my hubby and my dear dear sista and BIL... thanks for helping wf Celeste whenever i need her to be out of my sight,else i cant study!!!

okay, enough said bout the purpose of this photo shoot, here comes the pics :p

This daddie never fails to do this dangerous stunt wf Celeste yet again... :s

Been waiting to take tis pic together wf sis,pity BIL was not able to make it tat day. but then again, when he graduates next year, they can take it together.. eh, can we come along for your shoot? haha, juz kidding ya... Loved tis pic to bits! the oni few solo pics of Cel and when i gave the duplicates to her grandparents, they were equally pleased and adored this pic the most...

oh, let me intro the little piggie Cel is holding... its name is PInkie and its actuali MINE! hubby bot it for me when i was preggie then and now she refused to pass it back to me.. and when i asked if i can have it, she looks at me wf a pout and tat pair of innocent eyes saying : you cannot share wf celeste? haha...

we did this shot last yer when cel was one... she was sooo co-operative and posed pretty well..

this year... * refer below *

tis year was abit tuff to do the same,not tat we wanted to do the same pose. somehow, the photographer got us to do it... tuff on daddie cos he gota support both our weights, tuff for me cos i gota make sure Cel doesnt fall off.. even harder for Cel cos this thorny backside cld not sit well for the pic! tis the best we can get, pretty candid though... :)

Solo pics for Cel were so much lesser this time cos she doesnt want to take pics alone.. well, photographer was also saying it gets harder as they get older.. so its family pics galore tis time...

My First LOLLIPOP

2008-08-30T22:47:00.000-07:00

Date : 17 August 2008

Today is a sweet sweet day for me :) its the day i had my FIRST lollipop! Last time whenever Jiejie Karise is eating her lollipops, Mummie will not allow me to take any even if it means my cries will tear the house down ( almost! ). She is not keen on exposing me to such sweet stuff any risking my teeth getting decays cos it would mean more pain for me and of cos her...

Now that i am 2.5 years old, she deemed that it is time that i proceed on to the next level :p soooo... * drums roll* Daddie grabbed this mini Chupps lollipop from the book shop and it was strawberry flavour :) i took a long and hard look at it and was all smiles when i finally got to savour it...yummilicious!!! Mummie said it wont be an often sweet treat but if i do behave,she can consider giving it to me once a week hee.. Everyone, this is my FIRST lollipop :)Hmm.. yum yum, VERY NICE!!!Awww... let me give daddie and mummie a hug each for the wonderful sweet treat :)

Splashing time at the Zoo

2008-08-25T05:50:00.000-07:00

Date : 19 July 2008

Its a casual morning at the zoo, Daddie is not working today and thus he has promised to bring me there for some splashing fun... we had brekkie and headed to Mandai... weather was quite hot and Mummie forgot bout my sunblock... ok, tat means sun tanning is on the cards today. We visited the elephants and saw them splashing sand on their backs... this reminds me of one of my fave stories " Elephant's Child ".After morning greetings with some of the animals, we went to the kid's world and it was wet wet and WET! i jumped and skipped in the play area,landing on fours that was much to Mummie's dismay... Daddie on the other hand was all relaxed and busy capturing me on video... hee, 2 extremes from my parents :p enjoyed the day very much! Making frens with the other kids in the play area...

Stealing a bite in between hee...

Happy Birthday Ah yi!

The cake was picked by me! i thought it looked really nice with the different fruits on it :) and it tasted yummilicious too!

Happie Birthday ah yi! looking forward to your wedding which is coming soon!Ah yi checking out if her hair is neat while im busy checking out the candles on the cake..Waiting patiently for the yummi cake...

Getaways are always good :) after the recent Bangkok trip, our family got to go for another short getaway to Genting... well, Daddie was rather keen cos he is gona b caught up with work for quite a while come late july thus he decided that we should head to Genting... we asked my grandparents along too.. and then during the last minute,Mummie also had a fren called Auntie Ann joining us cos she was eager to go as well and din mind sharing the room with Auntie Nat. Auntie Ann is familiar figure to Auntie Nat and i already cos we often meet for ice cream treats in the evenings haha...

I shall leave the pics to tell the story :)
Here's us all settled in the coach early in the morning at 7.30am!!! i woke up at 6.30am without fuss this morning cos Mummie has been telling me that they are taking me to Genting.. whew... my parents were so worried i will be cranky...My dedicated playmate in the coach - Daddie! Here's us playing some games while Mummie catches a wink.. she slept late the night before talking to Auntie Ann and woke up early to fry rice for my lunch...Arrived at Genting! weather is cool and nice... proud to say i have been a good ger on the bus ride and i wasn't even utilising the PSP for Barney shows! Was having fun playing wf my parents, esp Daddie and of cos, i had crackers and juices that kept me reali occupied and munching away... heeheeMummie's once a blue moon sweet treat for me : Candy floss! it was so huge she decided to quickly take a few bites so that i wont finish it all...Basically in Genting, there isnt anytin much to do except sleep, watch tv, stroll in the cool weather, and last of all PLAY! it has been a playful 3 days for me cos i had the unlimited day pass at the Indoor theme park and i was going round n round with the rides, yes.. for 3 days straight.. cos i won't go without it when i by pass it...

I especially loves the car rides and there were a total of 12 vehicles in this train which i took them all! My parents were so worried at first in fear that i would fall out and told the attendant to fasten my seat belt tighter.. but i was so 'zhai' that they were so proud and amused at the same time... i even waved to them happily each time i 'drive' past them :)Daddie got me this little doggie that will bark and the best part about this part is that it is leashed.. kinda gives me a sense of responsibility in caring for it. Here's me insisting to take a pic wf doggie...Piggy riding on Daddie's back...Evening stroll outdoors, flowers looking not bad ya...

Having a Vitagen before getting into the coach for the ride home.. Time to go home!

A kiss for my playmate Daddie dearest...

Leisure Saturday at the zoo

2008-07-17T22:55:00.000-07:00

Date : 28 June 2008

Its a Saturday and weather is looking good...
Thus Mummie decided to take me to the zoo... she got up early to fry some rice for my lunch and we left the house after we are all done wf breakfast.. Daddie is working and cant fetch us there.. But Daddie was guilt striken and thus left a ' taxi coupon = cash' for Mummie to utilise in getting me to the zoo and back.. hahaha... thanks daddie!!!

Upon reaching the entrance of the zoo, i screamed and yell with joy exclaiming: Mummie, its the zoo! Mummie was so amused by how excited i was cos i am stl so upbeat though having been to the zoo for quite a number of times.. and oh, did i tell ur that we are friends of the zoo? hee.. My parents decided to join as the Friends of the zoo cos it was sooo pricey to buy single tickets and since i am sooo interested in the animals, might as well b a member and come as n when i like... and so far, we have utilised out privilege 3 times :) break even for the membership price liao haha...

Close encounter wf a lost lizard...

Playtime in the zoo.. Mummie says to let me play with the water the next time cos she doesnt wana get wet and thus this kinda chore shall be left to Daddie dearest :)

It was a fun day at the zoo and guess the specials that i saw today? i saw the lion wee-wee and the elephant poo-poo!!! so coincidental! for that few days after that i have been telling mummie : 'remember u saw the elephant poo-poo and the lion wee-wee? so funni hor? ' oops, sorie i do speak a bit of singlish hee... well, im singaporean afterall rite? :)

Mummie says : Celeste is a big fan of the Zoo! once a while, she will ask us to bring her there. Just this morning ( 18/7/08 ), i called home and she was telling me : Mummie! i want to go to the zoo... i wana see the lion wee-wee and elephant poo-poo... wow... this girl still remembers.. and yes, i promised to bring her there cos she will have her chauffeur daddie to fetch her.. no taxi coupons needed this time :p

Happie Daddie's Day!!!

2008-06-21T00:53:00.000-07:00

It was Daddie's Day last Sunday... The day before Daddie's day on Saturday, Mummie arranged for a dinner for Daddie and great-grandfather... Grandfather din come along cos he was busy so we went ahead... Dinner was at Vivo and its thai cuisine for a change... Most dishes were spicy thus Mummie ordered fried rice for Auntie Nat and I that was just right for our taste buds. Before dinner was served, we went out to the balcony for some photo taking.. it was windy and i was so happie looking at those ships and cable cars... We had dinner followed by dessert at Ben & Jerry's.. Uncle Brennen promised me ice cream if i will b good and finish up my rice and when i did finish, i got my due reward :)Me being very excited and happie with so much ice-cream, with fingers raised saying : GOOD!Injured??? not reali.. its actuali 2 little scars that are in the process of healing.. Mummie thought my legs din look too nice with so many 5cents n 10cents in a dress... so she bot the cutest plasters she could find and stuck it on.. matched my dress ya? hee... by the way, the scars came fr an injury when i fell on the escalators cos Daddie allowed me to stand independently on it and thought he could catch me in time should i fall... and it proved that he wasnt fast enough :p so, no more! Yeye was also 'scolding' Daddie and telling him to stop dangerous acts wf me.. oops!

On Daddie's Day itself, Mummie decided to surprise Daddie with a present from me.. she typed out a simple message and got me to have my feet imprinted on it. Mummie thinks that it will serve as a good remembrance cos i always do balancing acts on Daddie's strong palms... one day, as i grow bigger, Daddie will no longer be able to support me on his palms... thus this gift to Daddie is undoubtedly sometin meaningful for us... HAPPIE DADDIE'S DAY!!!

Random post

2008-06-21T00:44:00.000-07:00

Random post cos i got a few pics that i wana share with everyone!!!
First is this pic that Mummie has been delaying to post of Daddie and I...
its a pic Daddie likes alot.. we look so alike in this pic, don't we? hee...Next... Hello Kitty was in town during the June Holidays and Mummie brought me to watch them.. and it was not just once or twice, i went thrice!!! The first time i went, i was shy and din follow the dance steps and movements, but the second time i went.. boy was i swayin to the music. i din even wait for the host to say get up and i was all up and ready to dance already haha.. and cos i enjoyed myself so much, i went a third time...

Mummie and I at the Kitty show...

Hello Kitty and friends LIVE!

Time for a hair cut!!!

2008-06-21T00:19:00.000-07:00

It has been loooong since I had a decent hair cut!!!
Mummie has been wanting and thinking of gettin me to the hairdresser.. but once she airs her thoughts, Daddie will stop her and say he thinks it looks nice enough.. well well, Daddie thinks hair looks nice so long as its loooong... but its not the case!!! everyone thinks i should head to the salon already cos my hair though long, was going a bit 'qiao qiao' at the ends and needs to be trimmed away.. and somehow my hair looks like a 'U' from behind if not tied up..

At Duncan's full month, the other mummies were saying that my hair was so long and asked when my parents are gona cut it.. with so many comments bout it, Daddie still refused to budge.. duh! so one day... while Daddie is working, Mummie brought me on her secret mission to hav it cut :) i was all still and co-operative in letting the auntie cut for me.. while cutting, there was this cute guy beside helping another auntie to cut her hair and i just kept turning to the other side to look at him. end up, my hairdresser turned my chair to face the guy as she goes bout the job hee...

Almost there! this time round, Mummie has asked the auntie for a slanted fringe for me :) looks cute ya? When i was roaming ard the shopping mall after the haircut, there were jiejies cooing bout how cute my hair is.. this cuteness shall stay till it gets long ( which is pretty soon ) and it will get straight again :p

Sa-wa-di-kaaaa!!! - Part 2

2008-06-14T23:32:00.000-07:00

Part 2 of my Bangkok trip as follows :

Day 3 is shopping and more shopping... Mummie and Daddie hav not bot anythin much and they are dying to get rid of their bahts!!! We had breakfast afterwhich we took some pics at the super spacious lobby...We then went to Platinum mall which was supposed to host many good buys since its a wholesale shopping paradise but Mummie din manage to get much there... firstly it was a HOT day and also cos i was strapped to her, causing shoulder and back aches... oops! Daddie isn't able to keep me in thus Mummie was kinda responsible in carrying me... Here's me strapped in with Mummie... when all else fails, sweets always works! Daddie spared me some of his Smint and i was licking and slowly savouring it.. After a day of shopping its finali meal time... here's us at a japanese restaurant having steamboat and sushi... best of all, they serve free flow ice cream! yummie!!!It was a loooong day of walking for my dear parents thus they found this place to let me wander and play while they rest their soles...Back at the hotel having some snacks while watching Discovery Channel... Sitting comfortably on the bed until... ... Mummie came along and wanted to share with me... and Mummie takes super huge servings each time thus i quickly shifted to sit on the floor so as to save my last snacks... heehee

Day 4 - Its the last day of our trip in tropical Bangkok and the day of our home sweet home return... today we are all armed to head to the HOTTEST place in Bangkok - Chatuchak!!! but as u can see later, i wasnt appropriately dressed for it cos i dirtied my shorts earlier on and thus had tis last piece of dress... sigh...Daddie and I stopping for a pic at the fountain before brekkie... i sooo love the fishes and never fail to rush there to see them every morning im there...Fell in love with bacon.. yummie... but Mummie wouldn't allow me to take more cos it was saltish... seems tat Daddie and i share the same taste buds! watever Daddie likes, is wat i like!At Chatuchak market... reali very HOT! i was all sweaty and smelly... after a little while, my parents also couldn't take it and took their leave... but then, wat i like bout Chatuchak are the animals tat i saw... absolutely cute! saw squirrels.. but they were pitifiully leashed ard their tiny necks... and little puppies tat somehow wont jump off fr their open baskets...

Mummie says : On this puppy thingie, must mention sometin funni bout cel.. think she rem wrongly the color of this dog that she saw going : ah ah ah! it sounded as if it was laughing and i agree tat it was so cute! and whenever we talk bout it, she will ask if i rem the white dog and i would go: NO! tats a brown dog! Celeste would always look at me wf a frown and say NO, its white... and if i insist tat its brown, she will ask me if i am sure... hahaha... Stopping by a drinks stall for a cooling coconut... here's me focused on my 2 new toys - magnetic crabs. i stuck them onto any rod poles tat i see and it sure kept me busy...Yippee!!! Back at the air conditioned hotel... whew... it was soo super unbearable at Chatuchak... One last ice cream treat before we head back home... Daddie says i must have truly enjoyed the trip wf all the ice cream i have been eating for the days tat we were in Bangkok...All changed out of the sweaty clothes tat smell of Chatuchak hahaha... waiting for the transport to head to the airport so we decided to take a family pic at the hotel entrance

Mummie says : Upon checking out, the receptionist handed me a bill tat stated the cost of a face towel at 50baht = S$2+. i was going : No, check again... why would i wana take your face towel? so the receptionist without much asking went to stamp on the bill ' chargegs rejected' and got me to sign on it. Guess wat... ... the next day back in Singapore, Hubby came to me wf tis little white face towel in his hand and said: Your daughter must have thrown it in so we DID take the face towel...

gosh,dunno to laugh or to be angry.. anyway, must make it a point to lock the luggage so that Celeste will have no chance of doing such things in future... soooo embaressing!!! and wat's with tat face towel? not tat it has any Barney or Hello Kitty cartoons on it... *faintz*Well entertained on the flight with daddie's PSP with my fave Barney shows...

Tho short as the trip is, it was truly an enjoyable one with much ice cream and family bonding time... :)

Sa-wa-di-kaaaa!!! - Part 1

2008-06-02T08:44:00.000-07:00

Sa-wa-di-kaaaaaaaaaaaa everyone!!! I am back from my getaway :) Details of my little break as follows :-

Jet off on : 21 May 2008
Home Sweet Home : 24 May 2008
Jetting off to : Bangkok

This time round, its just Daddie, Mummie and me! yes, just our little family :) and it was certainly the bessssstttt trip so far cos we got to go by our own timing, sleep later than usual... cos when we were in Hong Kong, there was pressure to wake up earlier so that we wont keep my grandparents waiting for too long... heehee... so we got much rest as well as much play... and yes, this was a little reward trip to Mummie for her farewell to her studies...

On the day of departure,i kissed goodbye to everyone at home and left for the airport in a super happy mood... Prior to the trip, everyone at home has been asking me :where is the aeroplane taking u? where are u going to? and my reply was always : JAPAN!!!
somehow, Japan sounded nicer maybe also cos my Nainai juz came back fr there recently and i must say Japan has reali nice sakura chocolates *slurp* so everyone started correcting me that its Bangkok... so i see... Japan has gota wait for me then *shrugs*
Mummie and i at the airport... im rather sleepy by now cos its past my naptime...
Mummie's shoulders are where i always choose to lie on BUT i will always ask her to shift her hair aside first before i paste my face on it hahaha
While waiting for the flight, Daddie had a little snack at Burger King and there was this mini playground beside. Here's another daredevil stunt by Daddie and I where i was supposed to jump down and let Daddie catch me * Mummie's heart skips a beat *

Waiting to board... At this point, Daddie n Mummie told me tat they are scared of taking the airplane so i told them : Dun be scared, celeste will protectDaddie Mummie! and i held them by their necks close to me and gave them a pat on their back...

Mummie says : of cos we aren't scared! just trying to boost up our little one's courage hee..

During take off, it was a variety of snacks for me that ranges from cheese sausages to soya milk and gummy sweets! Mummie was so worried when i started dozing off while the plane was still ascending in the skies, in fear that my ears will hurt.. i slept thru out the journey and oni woke up close to landing... By the time we checked into our hotel, it was close to evening so we quickly dropped our bags and went to the nearby mall for dinner...Daddie 'clamping' my hands so that i wont touch the super hot steamboat :) After dinner, we went to the supermart to get some chips and mineral water and its off to bed... gota rest early for some shopping the next day!Rise and shine! After a nice hot shower, we scurried down for brekkie cos we were starving... Yumie! i like food! oh oh, wana mention that lucky me saw a squirrel while waiting for Mummie to get food for me, how nice...After a quick change of clothes, we walked to the nearby MRT near our hotel... OK, this picture is for 'show' only... sigh... we din get to see the ocean world cos we had wanted to com back aft we shop alittle but ended up it was too late cos we were rushing back for a dip in the pool... anyway Mummie thot it wasnt worth it cos the tix cost bout $30+ per adult and i nid to pay as well... Hong Kong Ocean Park is much better in comparison wf the amusement park and all included in a tix. u see, people doing accounts are thaaaatttt calculative!Yeah!!! best of all and most enjoyed and wat makes tis the besssst trip was cos i got to eat ice cream everyday!!! Mummie always feeds mini scoops but daddie is always the generous one who feeds heaped spoonfuls :)Pasta for lunch... had 2 different kind from Daddie n Mummie's plate, accompanied by chicken wings..Was at World Trade Centre and saw this lion from Nania... it was rather big and i was kinda scared to stand near it...Me in my new swim suit bot by Daddie... oops, pardon my rather messy hair :pMe playing 'catch' wf Daddie..was running in n out of the pool and hiding near the bar counter tat Mummie started to worry bout me catching a cold... the wind also started to get strong thus we headed up for a shower and got ready to head out for dinner..Local foodfare for dinner... i had fried rice and chicken soup... grouchy me posing wf Mummie . im hungry and Mummie still insisted on taking a pic wf the colorful food.. * Hmpf! *

Part 2 of my Bangkok trip will come later k.. b right back :)

2008-05-24T21:21:00.001-07:00

Date : 18 May 2008
Venue : St Joseph International
Weather : Super hot!

Today, Daddie is gona bring me to St Joseph for a charity bazaar... where's Mummie? Well, Daddie is gona take me there to find Mummie cos she left earlier to head there to tend to the ice cream stall.. The company tat Mummie is workin at has volunteered to help with the event and and raise proceed for charity purposes. Doing good always makes one feel good! Tho the weather was a killer that day, it was nevertheless very fun! i had rice and sausage wth cheese for lunch and i also lugged home some Hello Kitty toys sold by MacDonald's.. There were also tikam tikam stalls where i played fishing and my reward? a sweet :) sweets never fail to make me happie.. hee...

Mummie expected tat i will stick onto her once my radar spots her presence thus she specially instructed Daddie to bring me there close to 11am ( the time tat her duty ends ). and true enuf, once i got there, i refused to leave Mummie... Here's some pics taken on tat day: Le long le long!!! Ice cream anyone?

The ice cream stall...

Yes! going to the zoo! ( night zoo tat is, the night safari! )

2008-05-24T20:57:00.000-07:00

Date : 7 May 2008
Venturing to : The Night Safari!

Having just recovered from a bout of viral infection, Daddie and Mummie decided to lift my spirits with a trip to the night safari... tickets aren't cheap to go there! Mummie thot we cld get 50% off with Auntie Yingzi's union card but... its super troublesome... Will leave it til next time then, cos Auntie Yingzi will hav to go down to her union's office to get the tickets... and Mummie din wana pend anymore... so when Mummie returned from work, we quickly got changed and off we go! at first, when Daddie told me to pack my bag to go to the safari, i wasnt too believing cos they have been talking bout the zoo for sooooo long... not that my parents are lying to me, but it gota be put off cos i wasnt well...

And Daddie invited Nainai to come together since she hasnt been there before... in the car, i was stil half believing oni and it was oni until our car drove into Mandai Road and i spotted the huge advertisements of the zoo/night safari that i believed! and i then strated singing: We r going to the zoo zoo zoo, how bout u u u? i just repeated this sentence again n again, and my parents were truly amused by how excited i was...

I was all chirpy and perked up... bouncing up n down as we walked in... upon entering, we went to take the tram which is bout an hour.. it was reali fun and i was telling Daddie : so much fun! i saw many animals on the left and right side of the tram and there was a group of deer coming up so close to me! While we were chatting bout how fat this and tat animal is, i blurted out loudly : Daddie also fat fat! boy was daddie embarassed! heehee.. so did i spur him to lose some weight? and tat was why his pants have been hanging lower? haha...

After the aninmal show, we headed home cos it was late already... it was a fun filled nite out.. and as we went to pick up the car, i was stil singing: we r going to the zoo zoo zoo, how bout u u u?

Mummie's Bdae cum Mother's Day post

2008-05-20T20:31:00.000-07:00

May is a very yummie month for me heehee...
It is my mummie's bdae and also Mummie's day... not forgettin, we are jetting off to Bangkok for a short getaway where Daddie and Mummie have promised me yummi ice cream and food! wow wow... i simply lurvvvvveeee food :)
Tho it was Mummie's bdae, but the activities planned seemed to be 'my' bdae haha.. The day before the actual bdae was an outing to the nite safari where i simply enjoyed the tram ride! The pics for nite safari will come later in another post k :)

Mummie's bdae

On Mummie's actual bdae, Daddie brot me to wait for Mummie after work and then we set off to Suntec for dinner where i had my fave sushi etc. Here's me chomping down on my food like a little adult, Dad and Mum din even have to feed or be bothered while they feast on their own.
After dinner, we headed to Mt Faber ... When we got there, Daddie was trying to tell me it was Mt Faber but i kept saying it was Mt Fever! ( been hearing the 'fever' word too often during the past week when i had fever i guess ) But alas... Daddie got cheesecake which was rather soft by the time we got there and thus we made a quick one wf the song with ME blowing off the candle hee... and headed back home to refrigerate the cake...

Mummie's day

On mother's day,we went to Auntie Danielle's house to visit cousin Gene who just arrived on wonderful earth.. wat a cutie tat i kept wanting to sayang him but cos i stil do not know how to restrict my strength, Mummie forbade me to touch Didi Gene... nvm then, wait til Gene is bigger and i shall play wrestling wf him! hahaha...

Aft tat, we headed to Boon Tong Kee at Boon Keng to have our Mummie's day dinner and it was simply nice, fabulous and yummie!!! i had 1.5 bowls of chicken rice wf tofu and chicken... Yeye and Nainai were pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed the food and self fed myself. On stepping out of the dining place, i even told Daddie : very nice! i like! The adults were so amused and especially more when they saw how bloated my tummie was.. Mummie says will bring me there again for Daddie's day :) yeah!!!

Stuck at home

2008-05-18T21:29:00.000-07:00

In my last post, i mentioned i was sick right... and because of that and coupled with the rise of HFMD, i am stuck at home!!! Daddie even forbade me to go for my weekend phonics class in fear that i will catch the unwanted virus... so most times, i am either stuck at home or treated wf a walk to the nearby plaza...

At home, Mummie tries her best to occupy me wf activites like painting, coloring... we even play pretend at the beach where she dug out my beach toys and had the little playthings i have to be the 'sand' heehee... we had fun scooping the sand wf the spade and pulling the boat all around the house... Playing with 'sand'

Here's a bored me lying on the sofa, but once the flash on the camera starts to click away, i get all refreshed and tells Mummie : take photo take photo!

SeSee, all perked up now hee...

Back in action!

2008-05-17T23:25:00.000-07:00

Well, Mummie was caught up with her final semester in school wf projects after projects... and now, i am so happie to announce to the whole world that Mummie has finali completed her 2yr studies!!! yeah!!! Mummie was soooooo glad and was all excited bout bringing me to here and to there to celebrate her 'goodbye' to school... but alas, i fell sick wf the viral fever and cough and it was just when Mummie was having her final exams..oops! wats worse is, Daddie was on night shift those days and Mummie was struggling between studying and caring for me... it din help tat fever visited and oni left after 4days!!! Mummie had to sponge me and monitor my temperature every hour for 3 nites and it left her with tat little energy for her books... so she guessed tat she wont do too well tis time round but nevertheless, would hope to clear the papers and wave sayonara to her books... in fact, she threw most of the notes right after her last paper hahaha... from then, it was really plenty of time wf Mummie dearest and daily walks to nearby libraries or shopping malls...

Now that Mummie is free to blog again, there are quite a few entries to catch up on... will go slowly and do one at a time. the first post will be an old entry tat was supposed to be updated like 2 months ago?!?

Anyway, wat happened 2mths back was a 2nd birthday bash that we attended at the CSC at Bukit Batok with the forum mummies and todds... it was a pretty fun event where i met my frens whom i haven met for like a year! and boy, everyone is like all growing up so fast,just like me! We played games and blew bubbles ( my favourite! )... here are the pics...

CNY 2008

2008-03-15T00:07:00.001-07:00

Yes... its sooooo late to post this entry now.... but well, wat to do???

Mummie has been tied down wf work, project after project... thank God its all gona end soon!

2 more mths to go and Mummie can wave bye bye to the books! :)That also means MORE time for me..yipee!!!

ok,lets get back to CNY... it was a reali festive and joyous time for me and my family!for me, it was very yummilicious cos i got to eat sooo much new and exciting food... i got to lo hei a total of 6 times in all! i loved to toss the chopsticks high and eat the crackers & pomelo... Mummie was very lenient during tis CNY and i got to drink sweet drinks and eat cold stuff... i reali love CNY!Mummie and I on CNY day 1

Day 1 was busy as usual cos we had got 4 places to visit. i oni managed to nap a short 30mins in the car for the whole day, but i wasn't cranky... i was too busy enjoying that i forgot the fatigue! Day 2 of CNY was a Rest & Relax day.. no house visiting today thus Daddie decided to bring us to the River AngBao for a walk. Mummie and I at River AngBaoDaddie & I... well,u cld tell i wasn't interested in taking pics cos i was more interested in tat piece of yummi looking bread i was holding!!!Happie me doing a cutie pose after i finali got to eat my bread :)Taking a pic wf my zodiac sign... Flowers never fail to catch hold of my attention... trying to pluck one before someone realises it!

Having my FIRST amusement ride! well... not tat my parents have waited tis long but everytime they do slot coins into any machine, i get off the seat automatically... so at River AngBao, when i was fussing and whining to get onto the horse, Mummie hesitated and told Daddie to save the money cos i will surely jump off... but i was persistent and thus Mummie had to go get the ticket and boy was it expensive!!! $7.50 for a ride accompanied by an adult!!! Luckily i was brave and took the ride vy well... money well spent :)

ps: a closer look at my arm will reveal a HUGE toxic mozzie bite... it took about 2 weeks for it to totali subside... horrid mozzies!!! This is our family pic taken on CNY day 3... we were all gettin ready to head to my grand uncle's place... my little red shoes were bot by Daddie at Chinatown for just $10 and it goes so well wf tat little red cheongsam Mummie bot for also just $10!!! heehee... CNY day 4 - Heading to my maternal grand auntie's place for dinner... Don't u tink i look absolutely sweet in this pink and white outfit? i can BOX! Auntie Zi pulled out her pair of boxing gloves to put on for me...

Here's a happie me arriving at Vivo... Daddie wanted to get my bdae pressie first before we head over... He has decided to get me a table set wf a chalkboard cum magnetic board...
Chanced upon tis tree wf lotsa ladybugs! A pic wf my forever love - Barney and frens!Hmmm... which is nice? Mummie asked me to pick a cake for myself... i kept pointing to the BIG ones and say: tis one big big! but Mummie says NO... a small one will do :pok, tis one then! Its small, has cheese and chocolate cookies on it...looks yummie to me...

'School Bus' kiddie meal for my bdae treat... :) the best part of tis meal is tat is came wf a bottle of Yakult, my fave!Back at home... Daddie quickly fixed up the table which he got for my bdae... Family pic before the bdae song...Eyes closed for wish making... of cos i dun reali know wat to wish for, Mummie made the wish on my behalf... :)Cake cutting...

Mummie says : Time flies, my princess... It seems so recent that you came and now you are two! Its amazing watching you grow from a little newborn to the little toddler and now, you are a little girl! The joy that you brought to us is soooo overflowing... Mummie cant forget the day when you were born and the nurse brot you to my arms for the first time and asked : Do you know how to carry? Actuali Mummie doesnt reali know how to, but was so fast in saying a big YES! The moment your eyes met Mummie's, my eyes just got wet... Tho it has been 2 years, but watever about you is always in Mummie's heart... I cant thank God enuf for such a wonderful child like you... Tat is why your name is Celeste for it meant ' From Heaven' in spanish... My girl, May you always be happy and healthy... tat is wat Mummie wished for you... lotsa kisses and hugs...

Daddie says : Daddie is reali happie to have you as my little princess... Whenever you call out: ' Daddie Daddie ' in your most sweet voice, and the times when you ask me to ' Protect!' when Mummie is going to discipline you for climbing up the window grilles,i always feel the best.... tho you keep me busy whole day, even after a midnite shift... i am tired but am stil wanting to spend more time wf u. Some times Daddie wish tat you were asleep so that i can rest a bit,but when u reali sleep and look so peaceful and sweet, i wish to wake u up and play! Tat is how much i love you my little baby.. yes, tho you are no longer a baby, you are stil Daddie's little baby... ( Wf assistance from Mummie in typing :) )

My 2nd birthday party!

2008-01-25T20:05:00.000-08:00

Time truly flies by... i am turning 2!
Daddie told Mummie tat he would wish to have a BBQ party for my b'dae celebration tis yr and the years following heehee... of cos Daddie would love to have it every year, cos he is not the one who is planning and making sure everything is rite mah... tsk tsk...
anyway, Mummie reali was superb in planning this mini bdae bash for me...we invited our relatives and a few of my frens to come party wf me :)

Venue : Downtown East
Date : 5 Jan 2008

We arrived one day earlier than the party to settle in and get some of the stuff ready... Mummie was a little dissapointed tat we din get a ground floor unit but its alrite... she said she will book way in advance next year so tat we can have an ideal unit :) our unit faces the pool and i was so fascinated looking at it and kept bugging my dear parents to bring me for a swim... too bad weather wasnt too pretty and Mummie said tat i have to wait for karise jiejie to go for a good splashing time the next day... so, i gota be patient... btw, Mummie has been telling me to be patient always cos she tinks im reali super impatient :p

On the day of the party, we headed to NTUC to get some stuff tat we needed for the BBQ. Next Daddie brot me to Kids Explorer. Mummie tinks i will be super tired later and will sleep soon wfout much patting... i am now a 'pro' there and i can climb and slide down pretty well... here are some shots taken there, please do not be too alarmed by some of the acrobatic acts :p This is me 'feeding' the fish before heading in to Kids Explorer...Tis is easy...ok, gettin ready and set...Jump!!!Nice landing, except the little messed up hair... Mummie and Daddie blew up the balloons and decorated the place abit while i napped. When i woke up fr my nap, timing was just right. Jiejie came and we got changed to head to Wild Wild Wet for a splashing good time!!! yippeeeee!!! Here we come...Happie Daddie and me... i tink Daddie was equally happie and excited too, he loves adventure and excitement as much as i do... Whoa! the slide down was reali great!Can you see tat i am reali verieeeeee happie? heeheehee...JieJie into splashing mode...Sky is getting dark... time to get out of the pool le...

While i took my shower and my dinner, my parents and my lovely aunties and uncles were all sweating it out to get the BBQ started... and, ah yi persuaded Mummie to 'illegally' use the BBQ which is right below our unit for convenience sake cos our rightful unit was quite a distance away.. so after much ponder and hesitating, they decided to go ahead!Auntie Nat helping me to tie my hair to look my best for the evening...Here's our pinkie family pics... I love Hello Kitty thus my parents got me this lovely pink cake...poof!poof! attempting to blow the candle, end up it was Mummie who helped me to blow it out.Cake cutting... my guests must be waiting to try this yummi looking pinkie cake :)Yummilicious! Now.... ... tis is the 'free hand standing' act tat my Daddie is very proud of!
Daddie said tis is called " fu nu qing shen" cos it represnts the bond btw us... Daddie secretly told my shushu to snap tis pic before Mummie found out... We do tis often at home much to Mummie's dislike cos she tinks its very dangerous... tsk tsk... i will tell Daddie : step step! and Daddie will stretch out his palm for me to step on... Jiejie karise also likes tis! but i tink it will soon come to a stop cos i am growing each day and soon Daddie's palm will not be able to sustain my weight :p

Xmas!!!

I simply love xmas... at xmas, i get loads of pressies and i lurveeeee tearing them open :) This year, Mummie decided to upgrade our xmas tree size cos she felt the previous one was too small... daddie voted against it but too bad, his vote doesnt stand hahahahha... Mummie says a big xmas tree is wat she always wanted..

Total number of xmas gatherings : 3

Xmas gathering #1 - it was a small gathering for Mummie and her poly mates...
Pity Auntie Helena and Regina cant make it cos Galvin is unwell...
so there was oni one didi kayden of my clan.. BUT he is stil too young to play wf me :(
when kayden came, i was the big sista caring for him and tryin to sayang him... so sweet rite?hee... i even went to the room to bring out the rocker for kayden to lie down in but too bad, he din reali enjoy it as much as i do... wait til kayden grows bigger and we shall play catch! here's kayden in the rocker

Xmas gathering #2

This year, we played host and invited my pals over for a jolly celebration :)
Caleb was the first to arrive cos he din wana nap in the afternoon... same like me, we oni took an hour's nap... too excited to sleep la!! Soon after Megan and Dylan came... pity tat Daren couldnt come cos he was sick... Dec time is reali a 'sick' month wf many of my pals being sick and me myself just recovered fr a flu... Thank God i recovered fast enuf to enjoy tis festive season wf my frens and family... It was fun playing and 'snatching' wf my pals... my frens liked the fish room where there was oni one luohan fish and one pathetic guppy... Daddie has said tat he will get more guppy fish so if there's a next gathering at our home, be ready to see more fish my pals :)

We had fun playing and the adults also had fun eating... we had a mini gift exchange and i cleverly took the present and placed them under the tree in wait of boxing day :) enuf of talk, lets roll the pics!
Megan sure can sit still... she isnt tat thorny ass like me... Mummie is envious! oh, and i have the same top as Megan, same pretty taste :) haha Happy Caleb in the fish room

Each busy wf our own play...

Photo taking together, but i was not co-operative enuf to sit still for a shot.. see, i told u im thorny ass... Mummie gets envious again...

The mummies get together for a xmas shot

The lovely yummilicious log cake from Emicakes, very sedap!!!

I met Barney, Elmo and Noddy!

2008-01-05T22:35:00.000-08:00

Its December school holidays... lotsa meet and greet sessions going on :)
Mummie's classmate shared wf her the list of venues to bring me to meet my fave cartoon characters and boy, was it long! The first session i went to was my fave character, Barney!!!
There was also Baby Bop and BJ but pity Mummie din take much pics cos it was too crowded and we din get a reali good view... nevertheless, i enjoyed the music and seeing Barney in person... When Barney appeared on stage, my eyes literally enlarged by at least 50% according to Mummie hahaha... so she gathered tat reali love such sessions... so who's next???

Second in line was Noddy! i like to watch Noddy on Kid's Central and of cos i was excited on seeing Noddy, Daisy Bear and Big Ears in person... not to forget, i saw Santa Claus too! i kept singing: ji ji dell ji ji dell ( jingle bells jingle bells )

The third and last i went to was Sesame Street - my fave Elmo!
On this, Mummie is sooooo proud tat it was she alone who brot me to catch the show... Daddie was workin and Auntie Nat was on her off day... but Mummie was confident tat i will be a reali good girl.. and so, after my Sunday playgroup, we took the bus down to Orchard. We treated ourselves to a yummi lunch at Crystal Jade courtesy of Daddie hee :p the soup was so yummi there, i kept saying : good soup! Once we were done we headed to watch the show and it was reali nice to see the Sesame Street characters upclose... sorie, no pic for this either cos Mummie was busy making sure i was fine sitting on the wagon of clothes :) her hands were too tired fr carrying me thus smartie her seated me there where i was in perfect view of the stage...
We actuali were seated near the stage but i was somehow terrified.. thus we had to stand along the barricades and watch instead..

See, Daddie and I engrossed with the Xmas story...

First flight experience -tooooo Hong Kong! - Part II

2007-12-31T08:30:00.000-08:00

Day 3 - Halfway into our short trip already... on the itinery today is Ocean Park! Heard Mummie and Daddie saying that there are many fish and sea animals,not forgetting the pandas that i do not get to see in the Singapore Zoo... But before that, my grandparents wana head to a temple tat HK is famous for.. so we headed there and waited for them. While waiting, my diaper overflowed and Mummie had to bring me to a corner to change and after that,went to dry my pants in the toilet using the hand dryer... she has forgotten to bring extra pants out, oops! luckily the dryer was powerful enuf to dry my pants in 10mins and timing was just right cos my grandparents were also done wf their stuff :)

We then proceeded to take a bus to Ocean Park. The ride there was ok BUT the ride back to the city was HORRID! We got caught in a jam and it took us more than 1hr to get off the bus!!! I was gettin so super impatient in the bus cos it was so crowded and not moving... Mummie ended up giving me my pacifier in order to calm me down but i accidentally dropped it in the midst of whining... so, it was a very crowded bus and we were seated at the last row...my parents could not reali reach for the pacifier. There was this young couple who could easily pick it up for me but they pretended not to see and gave that super !@#$%^ look which my parents could not stand! On this, Mummie thinks the chances of someone picking it up for me in Singapore is much much higher than that in Hong Kong... cos so far, no matter wat i drop, there are always nice goody pple who help me pick it up... finali when i managed to alight fr the bus, my nerves were back to normal... i tink i cant be cooped up too long anywhere :P

At the MTR station... Daddie's shoulders are ok today and has reinstated his duty of carrying my necessities bag... so we have a happier Mummie today hahaha

Arriving at Ocean Park entrance... During this trip, i loved to pull my parents and grandparents close to me when taking pics.. i hold them by the necks and near my face affectionately as you can see :)See, i told you.. another affectionate pose heehee...Beautiful weather, blue blue sky... Posing with the seal...tis Hello Kitty cap was a buy from last nite's shopping at Temple Street nite market, timely purchase!Piggy riding on Daddie's back...Colorful marine world.. i kept getting awed by the many many fishes, esp the big ones.. kept going: big big fish! big big fish!Halfway into the queue to go on the tower ride, i drifted to Lala land... weather was cool and perfect for naps.. pity i din get to see the scenery fr high above...haiz.. At this Jellyfish world.. ao many different sizes and colors of jellyfish... i just woke up and thus abit scared at this sudden sight.. see me patting on my chest and going: scared!Gettin ready to board the cable car to the lower region of Ocean Park... this queue to take the cable car is no joke! its close to another hour of waiting... meanwhile, i 'played' wf the group of jiejies in front of me and they were so amused by me! i made lotsa funni faces out of which my best were the 'cutecute' pose and the 'beautiful eyes' where i would blink blink at them... heart melting tactics! haha Wow! scenery is beautiful and wf the cool wind blowing, shiok! i could now say: cable car wf this one time experience.. btw,Mummie doesnt quite enjoy the ride, she was holding on titely to the pole and refused to look ard... tink my guts are much more than Mummie's!Heading to see the panda bears..yipee! Panda loves to eat, just like me :)Had wanted to take the hot air balloon but due to too much wind tat day, it was grounded.. *sobs*There's tis mini hot air ballon where its meant for picture taking.. i just got terrifed and wailed when i stepped into it even tho im stil firmly on the ground... :pAfter a hectic day at Ocean Park, we had dinner nearby our hotel and grabbed our jackets to head up to the Peak. Mummie said its gona be cold and it reali was sooooo cold tat i kept telling them: cold cold dun want! So Mummie tried to make me warmer by tucking me into her jacket like a little koala bear... Mummie said she can hear Ah yi's heart breaking when she tucked me in cos Ah yi confirm heart pain that her jacket is stretched now :p sorie Ah yi!Family pic at the Peak.. Inside the mall at the Peak, much bearable...i dun want cold cold!

Day 4 - Free and easy day of shopping since the past 2 days have been a ME day at Disney and Ocean Park... Sogo was having some kinda sale and Mummie was sooooo excited bout it BUT... i din allow her to leave me so it was tuff for her to do much. So, the winner is Daddie! He actuali got a bigger shopping loot than Mummie... Poor Mummie oni got ONE top for herself and tis was made possible oni when i finali decided to take a nap...

Overall, the trip was fun tho tiring for my Mummie... cos i refused anyone else to carry me or feed me, i oni wanted Mummie... so poor Mummie reali had her wrist sorta sprained at the end of it. And one careless incident to share... we took our own sweet time to have dinner and forgot all bout the time! ended up running to the gate and everyone was boarding already... Mummie carried me in her arms while running and panting away, i kept laughing and chuckling cos i thot it was reali fun! Mummie din know to laugh or to cry then haha... Thank god we managed to board the flight... Mummie had a bad headache prob fr the running right aft dinner so Daddie took over and tried to make me sleep... soon enuf, i slept fr Hong Kong to Singapore... Home Sweet Home... the next morning upon waking in my own bed, i asked Mummie to open the door and pointed to it saying: Ah Nat! I was missing our helper Auntie Nat... once the door opened, i ran out and called for Nat ,giving her a loooooong hug. im sure she must have missed me too :)

End of Hong Kong trip post...

Mummie sighs big WHEW! :)

First flight experience - tooooo Hong Kong!-Part I

2007-12-19T22:58:00.001-08:00

Sorry all aunties and uncles!!! i know tis is a loooooong overdue post. As mentioned in the earlier post, Mummie has been busy wf Xmas and all the aftermath of the gatherings... so now she has finali sat down long enuf at her laptop to finish off this entry... here it goes...

My parents had wanted to bring me out somewhere on a flight before i reach 2. Infants before the age of 2 get a discount fare u see... so Mummie decided to grab hold of this chance and bring me to Hong Kong where i can also get my first Disneyland experience :) My grandparents decided to come along for a long awaited break too...

Dates of Hong Kong trip : 14 - 17 November 2007
Airline : Cathay Pacific
Hotel : Kimberley Hotel
Weather : Fantastic!

Day 1 -

In preparing for this trip,Mummie was all geared for wat was to come.. she had the 'emergency' backup pack in case i get cranky during the flight. She bot Oreo wafers for me to munch on during take off and landing, had Daddie downloaded a few fave VCD on the PSP to keep me entertained and not forgettin my fave apple juice and soya bean drinks.. im rather easily satisfied wf food thus Mummie couldnt go wrong wf her variety... hahahhaha Our flight was a morning flight and boy was i a good girl! i was rudely woken up by Mummie at 6+ am and i din cry a bit... I ate my breakfast and left for the airport amidst a thunderstorm tat morning... luckily the weather in HK was beautiful as compared to monsoon in Singapore... At the airport, i danced and rolled on the carpet, had so many pairs of eyes looking at me.. end up Mummie had to carry me cos i wont budge... im enjoying the attention! While waiting to board the plane,Mummie din take the priority call for kids cos she was worried i will get too bored to wait for everyone to board... we had a window seat and after the plane took off, i was gettin jittery looking at the clouds passing by so i told Mummie to close the windows... Overall, Mummie graded my inflight performance to be 7/10.

At the airport, a happie me was at Burger King munching on the cheese from my Daddie's burger.Here's me while waiting for the food...im hungry... On arrival at Hong Kong International Airport, a tired and very messy me.. i oni managed to catch a cat nap of 40mins on the flight before i was woken up during landing...
After washing up at the hotel and change of clothes to embrace the cool weather, im ready to go out for my dinner...

Daddie and me while waiting for dinner..

Day 2 -

Its Disneyland we are heading to today!!! Mummie reckons its better to go on a weekday so tat it wont be too crowded... we got up early for breakfast at a nearby restaurant and headed to take the train to Disney... it was such a looooong walk at one of the interchange to switch trains... argh... Mummie din wana carry me! she had to help Daddie take the back pack cos poor daddie had his shoulders sprained.. but after a while, she realised tat its stil better for her to carry than to let me be free running ard and her trying to catch me :) Here's our family waiting for the Disney train.. im tryin to act cute here heehee...On board Disney train... its reali very nice! The train had Mickey Mouse shapes on its doors and windows. there were also displays of figurines in the trains. Here are we holding on to the Mickey Mouse handle... cute rite!Arrived at my first Disneyland! Mickey Mouse logos on the ground...

2007-12-13T01:03:00.000-08:00

By : Celeste's mummie

ok ok! i know i am missing out the post on the Hong Kong trip along with the pics... let me post this first before i get down to a looooong and serious session of blogging wf the slow upload of my many pics k :) ' xian ku hou tian'

When i tink of the little little acts of Celeste, i got so amused tat i wana pen it down for Celeste and ourselves to laugh it off in future... she is certainly growing steadily and picking up very fast!
By saying tat she is growing steadily, i am pleased to see her weight hit 12.5kg on the scales tis month! pretty good weight for a girl of her age. Who is happiest??? of cos its her daddie dearest! Even when Auntie Tracy heard of the weight, she already exclaimed: wow, then her dad must be happie! To which Auntie Carol agreed... u see, tats how obvious her dad's enthusiasm is in her weight figures haha

On the picking up fast part.. gota break down in paragraphs to elaborate liao :)

She loves to imitate flamingoes lately and will stand on one leg wf the other resting on her knee :)

She loves to talk to her bears during bedtime, she will pat her dozen bears and say: sleep ar.. followed by a smooch. :)

She loves to play pretend as a hairdresser... she will use the comb and poke our scalps, hold our necks wf her little hands and tell us: dun move ar... dun move ar... after the poking and combing, she will look at us and ask: pretty ar... ok? as if to ask if we are happy wf her 'styling'. :)

She loves to play catch wf her classmates at her weekly playgroup... she will wait for her frens to slide down and catch them at the bottom. and her frens all enjoyed been 'catch' by her. :)

She likes to 'order' us to put back the things tat we have not put back in place... eg. when i finish gettin her ready for bed, she will point to the items on the bed and say : Mummie, put back put back... :)

She likes to assist Auntie Nat in wiping the floor when she gets it wet, or wipe the high chair top when she is done wf her meals... Auntie Nat says she is a good helper :)

She is almost toilet trained... she pees and poos in the potty, thanks to Auntie Nat's patience in gettin her to get used to it. When she is done wf it, she will stand and praise herself in chinese : li hai ar! ( clever ) to which we must clap and repeat after her :)

She loves to grab her mummie and daddie's neck and pull us together to kiss her, and only in the lift! talk about being discreet... heehee...

She looks at us intently wf her utmost sincerity into our eyes when we tell her we are upset ( pretending of cos :) ) . she will jump up to hug and kiss us on the lips and ask: okay?

That is how sweet our little baby is.. oops, i know she isnt a baby anymore.. she is growing to be a girl... but ytd as her daddie was calling her: my little baby... i corrected him and he said: she is always our little baby... haha... and Mummie has made a little present for her... hope she will like it and handle it wf care...

no, im not so creative to tink of tis idea... it was copied from a forum fren and the moment i noticed the tissues are used up, i immediately grabbed the box and embarked on the art n craft journey... here's my masterpiece for our little baby :) our little baby stil at her 'sniffling of bolster' habit

Her first doll house, was a bdae gift fr Ah yi and Uncle Brennen for her one year old... They felt so short changed! they got it at bout $100 fr US, and now taka is selling it at $79.90... and worse still,toys r us is selling it at $59.90!!! sigh... luckily Celeste likes it alot and enjoys sitting down wf it during the weekends at home, so the $$ isnt reali wasted :)

Daddie bot her a 'baa baa black sheep'..yup, its white and she hasnt realised it :p

Dinner at East Coast

2007-11-30T20:41:00.000-08:00

Its a Saturday and my parents have decided to bring me cycling since we haven done it for a loong looooooong time.... HOWEVER, due to some dilly dally here n there... we got there considerably late and the sun was gettin ready to set...
sigh sigh sigh...

Thus we headed for dinner at one of the eateries along the stretch... After slurping up my porrige, i actuali asked for some fried rice from Mummie's plate... she was of cos more than happie to share, if it means tat can keep me still for some moments hahaha...
Surprisingly i could hold my spoon pretty well and am able to do self feed now! I do hope the waitresses will not hate me for making a little mess wf the sprinkling of rice grains on their floor :p i will try to do a better job each time ok? :)
see, i can hold pretty well :) even Nainai tinks tat the way i hold my pencils and crayons is very nice... heeUmmmmp! the rice was yummi and i raised my fingers to say: good! Afterwhich, my parents decided to let me have a fun ride on the mini ferris wheel... since i seem to be almost fearless bout everything, Mummie and Daddie had thot nothing of this mini ferris wheel...But they were wrong! of cos everyone has got their own fears!
i am scared of heights... boohoo... i yelled and screamed while the wheel moved us higher and higher.. .Daddie had to ask the lady operator to stop the wheel so tat i cld get out of it before i go hysterical... luckily there was oni me on the ferris wheel else i tink i will reali cry my lungs out should i need to complete the terrifying ride... :(Daddie swiftly calmed me down by rushing me to the playground.. he was literally running to it heehee... indeed the slide was all i need to calm my out of place nerves :) Celeste : Yeah... tis is much better Daddie and Mummie! and its free!!! sorry tat your 10 bucks just flew away wf tat one round on the wheel...

Kiss for Daddie thru the little hole... Mummie was quick enuf to snap tis and thot it was so heart warming...

So... i look more like....

2007-11-20T22:48:00.000-08:00

Mummie chanced upon tis from my frens' blogs and decided that she shall do one for me... actuali she more or less knows the answer tat the meter will tell but she decided to give it a go to see if even technology tinks the same..hahaha :)

As my looks change, its becoming more of Daddy's face unlike when i was just a newborn, everyone would say i look exactly like Mummie! Is that why people always say : daddy's girl and mummie's boy???

Weather : Sunny and cheery
Location : Merchant Court

The long awaited day has come... Its a BIG day for ah yi and Uncle Brennen today!!!
They are getting solemnized today... wow wow...
Preparations for me started early u know. one month before hand, Mummie and Ah Yi has brot me shopping for that perfect dress to wear to Ah Yi's solemnization... We ended at Suntec and got a lovely dress for $49.90, courtesy of who else but the bride :)

On the day itself, Mummie made me nap early so that i will b in the best of mood for the ceremony. i co-operated and napped... meanwhile Mummie rushed to the shopping centre to cut her hair and do her nails... and after spending tat $50 on her nails, i had to do the worst to her big toe... i accidentally stepped on it and the smudge was horrid looking... Mummie screamed and quickly tried to salvage it but to no avail. uh oh... oops!!!

But i made up to Mummie by being extremely well behaved at the ceremony and the high tea which followed. I was utmost friendly and went around to say Halo to the many pretty jiejies... After a long day and out in the sun, i went home tired and slept a long 3 hours, only waking up at 7.30pm for my dinner!!!

Here's the pics to tell the story:
wow, so many floral petals here! i just love flowers and so i stood there under the hot sun to 'admire' the beautiful petals... dun our dresses look similar fr the back view? :)Engrossed with the petals...Mummie and Ah Yi.. Here's the marching in to the solemnization table... Family pic after the ceremony Ah yi and me! Uncle Brennen and me... pardon my messy mouth, was munching on the papaya and water melon hee :) Presenting Mr and Mrs Chua :)

First Movie - Ratatouille

2007-11-11T01:44:00.001-08:00

One weekend, Mummie and Daddie decided to catch a movie wf Uncle Don and Auntie Huifen... so Uncle Don decided on an action movie starring Jet Lee... since it wont be of much interest to me either and Mummie cant bear to leave me home alone... she decided tat she shall sacrifice and bring me to watch a cartoon instead :)

So... my first movie - Ratatouille!!!

It was a 90min show and you won't believe it! Mummie and Daddie found it hard to believe as well... haha... i actuali sat thru it wf oni the occasional fussin in the beginning... after tat, it was all smooth sailing for Mummie... Daddie's movie ended earlier than ours and he sms-ed Mummie : wow, she can sit in for so long! He was expecting to see Mummie loitering outside the cinema wf me... so, my ass isn't tat thorny afterall :)
The blurred movie ticket... Mummie tried to take a pic of tis ticket for many times wf her hp and tis was the best she cld get :p see, wat a coincidence! the seat number was my birth date :)

Mummie's heartpain

2007-10-16T20:37:00.001-07:00

Mummie's heart sank, yet again...

Well... It happened for the first time...

and it happened a second time... and then there is the third time...

all in the short span of a week.

Mummie's heart felt pain, very pain and super pain...

What happened?

Karise jiejie bit me. The first time was on my finger, second was my right arm and so was the third... It hasnt happened for a loooong time and Mummie was certainly glad. Now that jiejie has taken to biting again, Mummie dearest is very worried bout us playing together. She still cant get over tat bite which left a scar on my face... That bite left a nasty scar which is healing, thankfully! but it took a very long while... that time when it bled and looked its most awful, Mummie even cried...

I can never understand how hurt Mummie is... But i do know that she loves me and that is why she is crying... Mummie is trying not to be over reacting here but the injuries inflicted seem to be gettin too frequent now. Hope Jiejie can soon understand that im not her biting target.

Else its ouch for me and double ouch for Mummie...

Haircut 'in the dark'

2007-10-15T00:58:00.000-07:00

Mummie decided my hair was too long and getting abit curled up at the ends. Not to mention my touching-the-eyes long fringe... my grandparents also tink its high time my parents bring me to the saloon for a decent cut all over my head. All these while, my Hairdresser has been NaiNai who always trims my fringe into a babydoll style as in straight line across... and there was once Mummie brot me to her fave saloon to cut a slanting fringe... but cos my hair was very minimum then, it made me look like a boy... so from then onwards, Daddie says NO to haircut other than the fringe...there was also tat disastrous once when Mummie was hairdresser... BUT... not anymore aft tat!!! she trimmed my beautiful fringe into a slant too... argh! no no no,its not those stylish and fashionable slant ok, its straight then slanted at the end... yikes! Nai Nai had to trim it off for me else i wont be able to face the neighbourhood anymore...

so this time round,tho it was pretty obvious i needed to get to the saloon, Daddie stil refused... Mummie had to explain to the many people who asked on why my hair is so untidy. Imagine once when Mummie's colic saw me at the MRT station cos Daddie carried me down to wait for her, her colic mentioned to her the next day that she was shocked at how Mummie can allow my hair to look like tat!!! gosh... image down the drain... when Mummie told Daddie, he still said it was cos i just woke up and hair wasnt tied up... duh! Daddie's preference for long hair is tat tat obvious... Mummie is always 'advised' not to cut her hair too short whenever she has a hair appt. One thing im luckier is that Daddie says it cute for me to sport a fringe but he wld prefer Mummie not to have a short fringe... He prefers long fringe... aiyo! tis daddie ar... but Mummie stil went ahead to cut her fringe cos she tinks long fringe makes her look old and tired haha :)

so, the moment arrived when she brot me for the cut secretly when Daddie was working..
Here i am with my untidy hair... it was tied up earlier on thus now abit 'qiao qiao' hee
Blowing my hair straight for easier cut, i was a good girl and din move ard much. Many bypassers stopped to steal glances at me and praising me for my 'stillness'
The cut begins... Daddie, dun cry for my hair ok? They will grow out soon :p

Note : Daddie was shocked when he returned to see my shorter hair but he did comment tat is was not bad a cut :)

Update update

2007-10-02T01:38:00.000-07:00

Mummie has been slacking again and not blogging...
she is rather pitiful too, got tons of assignments on hand and she finali threw in her last one recently... thus she is catching some breath before she starts on her revision for the exams... heard its gona take up alot alot of memory space so Mummie is determined to start bit by bit... well, she will only get to seriously sit down and study when i am asleep and the only times she tries to keep herself awake to do so, is when Daddie is working the afternoon shift! cos she gets motivated to wait up for Daddie til 12 am+ and daddie normally will come back wf supper for her hahaha... so i wonder which is the REAL motivation - food or daddie? well... both la, Mummie insists... :)

During weekends, Ah yi will norm pop over to our house and she will snap non stop on her handphone camera... this is one shot she took of me in my $3.40 floral dress tat Mummie grabbed from the Tampines Metro closing sale! well, u haven seen the back, its more interesting :p it has got a 'lobang' aka big opening that bares my beautiful back... hiak hiak... Mummie and ah yi think i look very demure in this pic... am i not always like tis??? oh... Mummie says im far fr it actuali...

Evening walks have been enjoyable and 'yummi' at times... sometimes, we get to rest n relax at either KFC or Mac during our evening walks... these times are norm times when Mummie is tired fr carrying me and thus needed somewhere to seat me down. and to do so, of cos they will have to use the temptation of FOOD! most times, we land at KFC cos the whipped potato is the least heaty tat fastfood can offer to me and i simply love it... i eat it plain wf no gravy and stil slurps up the last bit fr the corner of my mouth hee...
Recently Mac got me... their Happy meal toys were my fave range of Hello Kitty! i want! i want! so out of the 4, i got 3! i love the palm top the most... i use it as a phone to 'call and talk' to my family ( esp YeYe and JieJie ) . And it also carries a crayon in it which i can draw with... my Hello Kitty posessions all rest in a Hello Kitty box too! Finalli there is sometin to keep me entertained for some moments... And yes, whenever i see the MacDonalds signboard, i will say : Mac Nor Ner! Fries! Daddie is glad that tho i love fries, i dun get greedy wf them... in fact, i will oni take a few and stay contented...

This is a shot of me and daddie dearest. see how i paste my face on his?
Its taken shortly after i wailed my lungs out for Daddie... he was merely parking his car and Mummie was carrying me waiting very nearby for him. But i went calling Daddie Daddie and cried very very badly... silly me thot that Daddie is not gona follow us... so tat day, i oni wanted Daddie and din want Mummie. Daddie dearest is rather sweet... When his time permits ( cos Daddie is working shifts ), he will bring me to the see saw and video how i climb the stairs and jump down the slide - He names me the ' See Saw Queen ' hahaha... he hasnt seen anyone as wild as me yet :p He takes tons of videos each month and gets lazy Mummie to upload which she norm will delay and drag her feet... Mummie has no interest in such 'IT' stuff la... but of cos she will do it when Daddie declares 'memory full' haha :) These are my bed frens! when its bedtime and if i feel like it i will go pat pat them and ask them to sleep.. else, i will just leave them to sleep on their own... heehee... they do make make good companions cos they listen to my baby talk and seem like they understand. unlike the adults who go hur? hur? at times... haiz...

oh ya, my ah yi just ROM last month! she is now Mrs Chua... cant wait for their customary wedding next yr where Ah Yi said i will be the flower girl... *excited* will wait for the professional pics to come and then update everyone again on her Big Day k! tata!

Kite flying attempt - FAILED

2007-09-05T22:43:00.001-07:00

2 weeks ago while at Toys R Us buying my 'house', Daddie chanced upon the kites and decided to get me one!!! He was so super confident of flying kites and proclaimed that hes kinda 'expert' at it.. so Daddie asked Mummie if she knows how to fly one, and Mummie went : OF COZ! Mummie thot back of the childhood days where she, ah yi, jiujiu and the other cousins will make their own kites out of newspaper, and mind you, she said they were complete with newspaper streamers..( trying to imagine a black and white kite )hahaha. they would then ask grandma for rolls of string and grandma will then assist and teach them to tie it the right way... awww... Mummie starts to miss Grandma again... though i have never seen grandma, but Mummie will tell me bout how kind a person she was and that Mummie hopes to pass on the good values that my grandma would wish us to have...

Back to the kite flying... Daddie was all geared up in my FIRST kite flying experience... while in the car, Mummie was singing the kite song and i was so excited and kept repeating after her : kite! kite! when she stopped , i will go : Again! and there Mummie goes again and again til we reach our destination... but alas, the weather wasnt too pretty, it just rained earlier on and the floor was wet upon reaching Marina South. Moreover, the wind was stagnant!!! Here's how the sky looked, alittle glommy... seems like there is more rain coming our way... sigh

Mummie and i take a pic while Daddie fixed the kite...

Look at the Pooh Bear sunhat i have, it was chosen by myself... good taste ya? We were at AMK shopping one day when i grabbed hold of this and refused to let go , anyway the damage is minimum at oni $1.90 haha

Daddie dearest working on my butterfly kite

Come Daddie, let me lend you a helping hand...

Stil waiting for my kite to fly, see Auntie Nat giving it a shot ( back of pic ) While the adults took turns to attempt to fly the kite, we saw many other kites hangin low and slowly kissing the grass... end of session - no wind... sob sob

Mummie trying to make me happie by lettin me 'fly' the kite as she flaps it... though it was less than estimated 2metres high, i was stil giggling away as i watched my butterfly flap... better luck next time wf the wind then!

Afterwhich, we landed at IKEA for dinner and alittle bit of shopping...

Look at my pincer gloves, Daddie just knew how i adore crabs ( i always get them to carry me to watch my pals at the seafood section whenever we pop to NTUC ) Crabbie Celeste goes : giap giap!

I have a HOUSE!

2007-08-31T22:44:00.000-07:00

Lately, i am into this game called ' House'!
It all started when Daddie folded over jiejie's mattress over my head, and he said it was a house... the little hole was so cosy and just right for me to tunnel in and out...
i liked this house game! and everytime i wld dash inside jiejie's room whenever someone opens the door, go to the mattress and said : House! Daddie would then have to fold it over and let me play... jiejie is however a little scared of playing house, guess she finds it a little dark in there, although its in broad daylight...
back in our own room, i wld get daddie and mummie to play house wf me by gettin them to pull the thick quilt over their heads so that i can stay in it...
then goes Mummie grumbling again, she said it was too stuffy!! there was practically no ventilation and they were sweating even tho the air-con was on...

U all know lately property prices have been rather sky high and gettin pretty ridiculous right?thus, daddie decided to buy me a 'property' now since he managed to find a first-hand unit at a very reasonable price... ( it only cost $14.95 after discount at Toys R Us haha ) wow!!! im gona be a house-owner!!!

Presenting my house... :)
Me at my door step... there is no other place i wana sit but here...
of cos Mummie is very pleased wf it since she doesnt have to worry bout tracking where my shadow is... And look, my house has got so many farm animals!
while resting in my house, i will point and name my horse, but-fly ( butterfly ), chick, window, door, boy, girl, moo ( cow ) , maaa ( sheep ) and last but not least my fave FLOWER!

Look! i brot my buddies wf me to my new house!

when the house was set up, i immediately pulled my Elmos over and told them : House!

From then on, they became PR of my house... :)

Since its my house, Mummie insisted tat i should tidy it and keep it clean...

Sweep sweep, Mop mop...
All tired out after the cleaning up...

THANKS DADDIE FOR THE HOUSE! MUACKS! :o

I am schooling!

2007-08-15T23:17:00.000-07:00

Yes folks! you read it correctly! I am going to school...
I am currently enrolled as a student in Kinderland at Chua Chu Kang...
BUT thankfully, im oni a weekend student..hee :)
Mummie signed me up at Kinderland and class commenced on 8 Jul 2007...
so far, i had attended 5 sessions and i must say its reali enjoyable! Oh, Caleb is my classmate! so fun to attend class with someone i know haha
During the first few lessons, i was shy and kept wanting to dash out of the room. Mummie had to carry me around the room to calm me and her last alternative was to offer me my precious pacifier... sigh...
As the lessons progressed week by week, i got more used to the other classmates and the environment and am starting to 'reveal' my true colors :) A short outline of wat we do in class :

- Music and movement
- story telling
- art & craft
- snack time ( my fave! )
- gym time
- goodbye song

I now am so familiar with the actions that accompany the songs that when Mummie starts to sing, i start doing the actions! It amuses my grandparents alot and they kept asking me to do it... well, of cos i obliged since i get plenty of praises and applause for it :p

Actually, our parents( Caleb and mine ) are looking attaking turns to bring us for class but pity my daddie gets last minute OT on a few occasions and will have to pass the job to either Mummie or Auntie Nat.Once Mummie asked Auntie Nat to bring me in so that she can head for MacDonald's breakfast with Auntie Carol. hmmpf!!! Luckily the mummies tried to 'compensate' in a way, they came back wf balloons for us... :) you know how a balloon melts a child's heart heehee...

Anyway, I hope that Daddie is able to attend class wf me soon... to which Mummie said that this Sunday will be THE DAY! yippee!!
This is where i go to every Sunday... Kinderland at CCK
My class - Pooh Bear class Warming up before every lesson - playtimeClass is fun, especially snack time! We get alot of snacks cos every one is supposed to bring sometin to share and i always get an over dose of them... hee :)

har? time to keep the toys and start?

Happie Bdae Ah Yi!!!

2007-08-05T01:11:00.000-07:00

18 July 2007

Its Ah Yi dearest bdae today!!!

Mummie has taken 'unofficial' off aka 'jabo' her evening class to celebrate this special day wf Ah Yi... We went to IMM for dinner at this restaurant called BayStreet 21... pretty so-so food and so-so prices... nevertheless i tried their chicken soup and it was yummie! delicious! Mummie now has got sometin to fall back on should i demand for soup... i have been in love wf soup lately... all types of them! if i get no soup, feeding me my meals get rather difficult :) Mummie says im so so so particular and now she gota cook a pot of soup every weekend specially for me...
Back to ah yi's bdae... Uncle Brennen isn't in the pics cos he had aldy done his share of celebration earlier in the day and while we are enjoying ourselves, he is sloggin hard in class. ( Uncle says he wana be a Distinction student ok! ) hahaha Mummie wonders why some pple aim so high for distinctions cos lazy bummer her oni aims for passes... oh well, lets see if she practises her philosophy on my academic life too... ;P Having a go at the merry-go-round...

Ah Yi dearest and me!

Family Day at the Zoo...

2007-07-13T23:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry guys, back dated post again!
Mummie has been pretty busy during the weekends lately...
i dun reali understand wat kept her so busy except the re watching of her korean drama serial - Full House...

Back to the zoo...
Its Family Day on a bright and cheery Sunday at the Zoo for TPC ( where Dad is working )...
We managed to get an extra pass and get YeYe, NaiNai and Auntie Nat come along with us...
Its Auntie Nat's first visit! and my second one...hee... which was just 3mths ago...
Early in the morn, Mummie had to quickly sew my dress a little tighter cos the seam was just too loose and she cant find any other more 'cooling' dress for me to wear on such a HOT weather day... We set off early so that Daddie can get a carpark lot * Predicts heavy traffic at the zoo*
And the prediction came through! it was so so so crowded... there were other companies having their family days too...

We managed to catch an animal show tis time which featured the sea lion and the penguins... very cute!!! i was all excited when the sealion used its flipper to wave Hello by splish splashing away... The day at the zoo passed at quickly... it was pretty fun but tiring... just aft the adults had lunch, i was yawning away and fightin to keep my eyes open. So we called it a day and decided to head home since yeye and Nainai are tired too... just within minutes in the car, * snore snore* i zonked out... til then, see u again... pals at the zoo!

Arriving at the zoo... Say Hello everyone!
Mummie din wana carry me cos its such a long walk to the destinated area... sigh...
Stopping for a pic wf Yeye and Nainai, dun we look comical in this pic? see my cute little tongue pokin out at the side :p
At the bouncing castle... There's this nice jiejie who actuali sort of 'protected' me from the many kids who joined in the jumping fun... the castle was so wobbly and i hung on titely to her hand... another fren made!
Family pic
Daddie Dearest and me...
What's tat on the tree Daddie?!?!

Elmo Show !!!

2007-07-13T22:58:00.000-07:00

Back dated post

Date : 23 June 2007
Venue : D'Marquee, Downtown East
Time : 11am

You know how much i adore Elmo???
I go dancing and lala lala when i hear the music coming on...
I also go Elmo! ELmo! whenever i see him...
I love Elmo to bits... Jie Jie Karise loves Elmo too!

Now is the chance to see Elmo 'live' in action! Mummie has gotten tickets to Elmo's coloring book show! yipee!!! The tickets cost $37 each for an adult and each adult admits a free child under 2... thus, Mummie got 2 tickets and brot Jiejie along, tat certainly made the tickets more worth it! When the show began, we were thrilled by the colorful lights and dancing characters of Sesame Street on stage... we stayed very very focused and clapped away happily... So my parents thot wat good girls we were...

But...but... second half failed to catch our attention! we were more interested in climbing up and down the flight of stairs... so Mummie takes the first half as consolation that we did manage to be 'half good' haha :P Towards the end , we got locked into the show again with its familiar music and waved byebye to Elmo accompanied wf flying kisses... Til then , see you again Elmo!

On the way to meet Elmo... feeling a little drowsy, the ride to the east from the west is certainly looooooooong.... Auntie Nat wf JieJie and me... Jiejie is looking a little stoned cos she just woke up from her nap, im looking stoned too cos i haven napped! Arrived at Downtown... finali...
jiejie and I were looking on the little kiddy trains going round n round in the center square...
Can't we go in yet? Elmo Show begins! Focused... End of show... time for lunch!

I am 18mths!

2007-07-11T08:46:00.000-07:00

Mummie reflects :

It has been 18 beautiful months, Celeste... What you din know was that Mummie counts the months by the 11th and never cease to marvel at how much you are growing each day. Before you, Mummie's fave date was 8 - the day Mummie and Daddie met, got together, married... Now, our fave date becomes 11th. Not that 8th is no longer important, it still is! ( must pacify Daddie and reassure him haha )

11th - The day when you were born and thus began our little family life... Mummie never fail to keep track of how many mths you are and wld answer anyone promptly when asked: How old is she? Recently when u just had flu, even tho just a slight one, Mummie got grumpy and cranky... Not that i do not have the patience to handle a cranky you, but its how Mummie's heart reali sank just knowing you are sick. On this, Mummie must reali learn to handle such situations better, afterall the PD says tat its very very common for tods to get sick...heehee

18mths my dear gal! Been tinking of how to commemorate this day and tada! Mummie got this pressie for you, im sure you will like them... the last time when we went to Kinderland, you kept looking on the little girls dancing ballet... back at home, you started holding on to sometin while stretching your leg out... as if you are performing a little ballet dance! Soooooo... presenting your first pair of 'ballet shoes' :)

Sidenote: Celeste reali likes them! she dug the box out fr the cabinet before bedtime and insisted on wearing them... afterwhich she went out to the living room to 'show off' her new shoes... when her grandpa who just came home walked past her without realising it, she went to him , raised her leg up and said : shoe shoe!

Happy 18mths my girl... and now lets look fwd to your 2 year old bash! counting down.... ar,this serves as good notice for me to start brainstorming wat to do ( kiasu?? ) heehee...

With love, Mummie

First Over The Sea trip!!!

2007-07-06T07:39:00.000-07:00

Yes!!! I finali had my first passport stamp! heehee... The stamp was earned in Bintan,Indonesia... It was Daddie and Mummie's first time to Bintan as well... *moutain tortoise parents* haha :) It was a hectic planning though the trip was only supposed to be 3D2N from 17 July - 19 July. The list of items to bring was looooooooooooooooong... Mummie drew up the list weeks prior to departure and made sure she continue to brainstorm wat to bring. The few heavyweight items in the list were 3 bottles of 'local' water for my consumption... why not use Bintan water, u may ask??? Well... Daddie says its best to bring our own water along in case i dun suit Bintan water... the other space consuming item was my pull up pants - 15pcs in all... Mummie was superb and managed to 'squeeze' everything our family needed into 2 backpacks! WOW WOW...

DAY 1

As the day arrived, we woke up early to have breakfast and Mummie fed me milk and porrige before our ferry ride at noon... she was worried that i might get seasick,thus the early lunch... we then got down to wait for Uncle Keith and Aunty Carol to hitch a ride to the ferry terminal * thanks Aunty & Uncle!* Daddie has taken this opportunity to send his car in for a re-spray * Mummie shakes her head on the never ending to-do things for the car* Upong reaching Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, we saw many airplanes and boy, was i excited! i kept waving bye bye to the planes as they flew over my head and wonder when i can ever have a ride in one... * Daddie, can you pls rewind and re-read the sentence* heehee... Oh Daddie, i must not forget to say HAPPIE FATHER'S DAY!!! ( happened that the departure day is Daddie's Day and Mummie got me to give Daddie a big fat kiss,followed on by a letter of thanks from Mummie,written on my behalf ) Here's our happy family at the Departure Hall...

Aunty Carol and Caleb wf Mummie and I...

Megan in her pretty Gymboree top... she must have liked this alot too cos she refused to put on the jacket tat Aunty Tracy is trying to pull over her... but of cos, Aunty Tracy still suceeded.. Mummies always have their ways :)

*counting my pals... * eh, Dylan isn't here yet! The mummies got frantic and started calling Aunty Rachel who was stil at home!!! Meanwhile Mummie quickly took the tickets to check in, and on a second look, my name is wrong!!! The ticket printed my name as Niam Xue Lin when it should have been a Xuan Lin... Kancheong Mummie was worried but was comforted by Aunty Tracy that these kinda mistakes are 'common'... so... Mummies went 'whew!' Aunty Rachel managed to get there right on time to board the ferry, and it was the final call! Mummie gets worried whenever its final call, cos she almost got stranded before in London when it was final call for her name and she had to pull her own luggage flying to the gate with airport assistants running alongside wf her and boy were the passengers on board mad wf her... the angmoh right at the aisle gave her the super rude stare which she cant forget... ok, back to my trip... the customs officer was alert enuf to notice that Megan, Daren and I were of the same birth date :)

On board the ferry... snoozing out much to Dad and Mum's delight...

Arriving at Bintan... Weather is lovely, Praise be to God! Been praying for a good weather cos the past few days had been rather cloudy and wet...

On the bus to Indra Maya Villas! On arrival at Nirwana Gardens reception... we were welcomed by some kinda traditional dance First checklist : the flowers... how do they differ from the Spore ones?

Mummie speaks : Celeste is truly a fanatic of flowers! Future suitors are advised to get some kinda florist discount membership cards :)

The villa we shared wf Aunty Carol and Aunty Sophia's family was Tortoise A while Aunty Rachel and Aunty Tracy's families got Tortoise F. We got a buggy each for convenience purpose of gettin around the villas... coolz! Off to villa...

*Copyright from Aunty Tracy* hee :p Mummie din take much pics of the villa thus gota 'steal' from Megan's blog... heehee

The room that was allocated to us... see, im gettin tired and sniffing out my bolster all ready for naptime...

We had a BBQ at our villa wf the tenants of Tortoise F... The fathers were sweating themselves out wf the BBQ... heard the daddies complaining on how hard it was to BBQ cos the pit was just lousy and the food were getting all charred... end up, Uncle Darren had to cook over the pan... Thanks to all the daddies and the BBQ efforts....

As my pals and I started zonking out one by one, the adults were happily gathered around the table for chit chatting... one of the memorable things of the nite, which shall be a secret btw the adults was the talk of the 'whale' hahahahaha... the other was of Megan and her 'dream feed'... Megan and I were placed side by side sleeping in the living room cos Mummie was worried i might wake up and climb off my cot... Aunty Tracy actuali managed to take out the pacifier and shoved the milk bottle to Meg which she steadily held and drank away! And yes, while sleeping!!! Amazing... WOW...

Day 2

Supposed to meet for breakfast wf the others but cos of abit of dilly dally, our villa was late and Tortoise F has aldy finished their breakfast and on their way back to the villa... oops! we had brekkie then headed to Tortoise F for a swim as well as a visit. Daddie is so strong! Caleb on one hand and me on the other... tats a whopping 20+ kg!! Off for breakfast At Tortoise F for a swim...

After the swim, we headed back for lunch followed by a nap... and when we woke up, it was more swimming again! in our own villa! Swimming is fun! Family pic... Know wat i use this container for??? Helping Daddie to wash his feet...

Was reluctantly pulled out for a shower cos the adults were determined to get to the Kelong Restaurant before Tortoise F tis time round haha... on reaching the restaurant, were checking out the buggies parked there and was happie to announce that we were the 'hares'!!! Dinner was not bad except for the humidity....

Day 3

Today's the end of the holiday... loads of packing to be done! We got up early and and decided to have one last swim before departure, not before our breakfast of cos... we went to Spice Restaurant and took some pics by the sea but the sun was too strong for us to enjoy the sea breeze any farther... wat's more, i was all tanned from the swimming tat Mummie decided tat i shall not stay by the sea for another minute! Daddie even gave me a new nickname - Fatimah Celeste... *groans* blame Mummie for forgettin to apply the sunblock properly, lesson learned is - Must apply thick thick!!
Nice sand accompanied by nice weather, and nice ME! heehee Daddie and me... *copyright from Aunty Tracy* Dylan , Megan and I Modelling Summer07 beachwear collection... Aunty Carol and me... Back at our villa for our finale swim... and we had visitors! Aunty Tracy, Uncle Eric and Megan came to join us... Aunty Rachel din come cos Dylan was napping... On the same bus, but going to the ferry terminal for our journey home... On the ferry back home...

Tho the break was short, but it was nevertheless a good break! Saying goodbye to our holiday was hard but it also means more to come! Daddie thinks tat i have behaved well and has given the okay for more such breaks! yipee!!! :)

The day my diaper overflowed…

2007-06-13T01:02:00.000-07:00

Mummie thot the pics looked reali hilarious hahahhaha… well, everyone had a good laugh while I was struck wf total embarrassment… * shy away * Daddie, Mummie and I were doing casual shopping at IMM a month ago when I had too much to drink earlier on and peed my diaper wet and I mean, very very wet! Daddie was carrying me when he stopped in his tracks and looked at Mummie saying : im wet… your daughter just peed on me!
Mummie frantically put me standing and smartie pantz her came up wf this adhoc costume to save the day! She din wana get herself wet wf my pee and neither does Daddie want me to dampen his car… sob, its not my fault rite, its theirs! They should have brot a diaper along… which they did not. FYI – they went hands free with oni a hanky and a mag mag :P I reached home and had everyone laughing at me… I was stil trying to smile in tat oh-so-pretty costume…after awhile of wearing it,it din seem tat awful… infact, it looked like a bodysuit! Neighbour Auntie said Mummie was smart to come up wf tis costume… Here is the much talked about costume that Mummie has finali decided to blog about!!!

The adhoc saver costume

Red PEA Party

2007-06-02T23:21:00.000-07:00

What is red PEA?
PEA stands for Play, Exercise and Action!
It is a programme for kids hosted by MacDonalds at the plaza near our estate... Mummie was taking me there for the usual morning walk when she spotted the banner.. so i had lunchie early and headed there to join in the party!
She had me wear the new Bonds dress she bot for me at Taka yesterday.. Boy, i look so sporty! This dress had Mummie thinking very very long and hard... she fell in love with the design when she saw Megan wearing it at the Jan06 Bash... Mummie thought Megan looked so much like a sporty babe ... thus, Mummie drooled and drooled,til she cant take it anymore... her pocket gota hurt a bit haha :) and yes! she cant even wait to have it washed before lettin me wear it... *hope no rashes appear on my little body*
Here we are, gettin ready to register... Registered! my name tag... He looks weird..face is white, nose is red... so he is Ronald MacDonald...
Was rather scared of him at first and kept hugging titly to Mummie and saying : pa pa (scared)
But after seeing how the other kids like him, he isnt tat scary afterall... Lets hear wat hes gona say... The party was themed after Shrek... and in aid of charity, Mummie bot this hairband for $2... See, I have Shrek's ears... and look, Mummie drew a blind mouse on my cheek cos she thot that was the simplest of all among the Shrek gang... She must have scored terribly in her Arts subject... i think i cld draw better! Kay-poh-ing the other kids going about their face painting...
Dancing to the song - Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes

After so much fun of painting and dancing, i started looking alittle stoned cos i haven had a nap... I headed home,took my precious pacifier and comfort bolster, and PLOP! onto my parents' bed... much bigger and comfortable heehee *yawns* ZZzzZZzzZzzzzz

3 S - Sun , Sand and Sea

2007-06-01T20:08:00.000-07:00

Today is a day for the sun, sand and sea... how beautiful is that!
Its gona be my first attempt wf sandplay :) Mummie has gotten a pail of sandplay 'equipment' from the pasar malam at a cheap bargain of $3.3333! The toys were selling for 3 for $10 thus the $3.3333 haha... my 2 other toys were a baby doll tat came wf a bath tub/duckie ( to encourage showertime discipline ) and a mini trolley for my kitchen items... pretty coolz...
We left for ECP early in the morning and had breakfast at MacDonald's as usual... i chomped down on my scrambled egg and hotcakes on MY OWN! u see,i have learnt to self feed wf a fork...
but of cos Mummie will still try to 'serve' the food straight to my mouth at most times to prevent me poking anyhow and anywhere...

Aft filling our rumbly tummies, we headed to the beach where we laid our mats... weather was nice... i started immediately on the sandplay and had myself all dirtied,another kinda messy fun :) *Mummie shakes head* While trying to make sand shapes with the moulds,i attempted to have a taste of how sand is like.. yikes! Daddie hurriedly took my hanky and brushed off the remaining sand fr my mouth... i can see Mummie shaking her head again... uh oh! Lets get tis pail filled up... Unglam me down wf serious work in process - sandcastle building Eh,it seems interesting over there! woo... the water slapping onto my feet feels so coolz... Splish splash!

Lets taste how sea water is like... yikes! tastes as horrid as sand.. except that its so saltish!

OooooooOooooops! i see Mummie shaking head again for the 3rd time.. hiak hiak

Daddie says sandplay gota be shelved for some time cos i am still stuffing forbidden stuff into my mouth... sigh... i was just trying to experiment different tastes Daddieeeeeee!

First artpiece!

Beautiful Sunday

Today is gona be a pretty busy day, i heard from Mummy...
We left home early in the morning and headed to Auntie Sophia's house for some finger painting session. I slept while i was in the car and was still sleeping when i reached Auntie Sophia's house... had to 'lend' Daren's bed for a little beauty sleep heehee..
Soon, i woke up and was all warmed up for the painting session to begin!
Messy fun, as how Mummy puts it...
Aidan and I dipped our hands into the bottles of paint and got all ready to paint! Daren was so professional in holding a paintbrush! Megan was not rather willin to touch the paint, she views them as 'ka-ka' :) Auntie Tracy had to get the colour that Megan wants and paint it for her.. the aunties and Mummy were joking that she is truly a 'royal princess'!
ok, more bout my first painting session... i got paint on my dress, my pretty underpants, my face,hair.. its everywhere!
Mummie made sure i had myself cleaned up befor ei can go attend cousin Ian's full month party... we left early to Yeye's house for a shower and then headed on to Cousin Ian's house...
*sorry for no pics on the party, Mummie was busy running aft me and forgot to take pics, which she has faithfully brot along in her bag... wat a waste!*
Nevertheless, some pics that Daddie took of the painting session :)
Megan gettin warmed up.. Gettin started! The mess begins...

See, i have got colors all over me... heee

We woke up early to go there and had breakfast at Macs... i learnt how to self feed omelette and hotcakes from their trays!

The Zoo!!! And... its Daddie's B'dae!!!

2007-05-04T20:09:00.000-07:00

Date : 18 March 2007
Occasion : Daddy Dearest b'dae
Weather : Cool but sunny
Attendees : Mummie, Daddie, Me, Ah yi and Uncle Brennen

Today is Daddy dearest birthday! event packed day... Mummie says its gona be tiring yet fun. First she planned a trip to the zoo... Daddie wonders if its his bdae or my bdae... hahaha anyway,of cos he is still glad to commemorate tis day with my virgin trip to the zoo :) Auntie Nat din come along cos it was her off day... she so regretted agreeing to meet her cousin to go out cos she had wanted to come along wf us too... nvm, Auntie Nat... Mummie says we should be going again soon! esp now that i am learning to recognise the animals :) The zoo trip lasted from 12noon to 3.30pm cos we were all drained and sweaty... Dad and i Zzz away while Mummie had to cook my dinner wf half shut eyes... after the nap,it was dinner with Dad's frens at Merchant Court where they had buffet. Eeks, the durian puree din quite suit me... taste abit different fr the real fruit itself,tink i stil prefer the 'real' stuff! and i was so jealous when Mummie and Daddie carried baby Kemain. i wailed and fussed which had dozens of eyes looking at me... Mummie quickly handed the baby back to Auntie Veon and whisked me away to calm me down... soon, i was running ard the place and playing peek-a-boo wf the diners... they were all so friendly and kept saying tat i looked cute! *blushes*

Animals that drew my attention :

Hippo - I can now point to the hippo and say 'po po'

Rhino - and boy were the rhinos smelly! i was waving my hands and giving them the ' chou4 chou4' look...

Tigers - i went 'raaaa' ( roaring ) with them :) learnt them fr Mum and Dad whenever they flash the pics to me at home

Polar Bear - Bear Bear! but they were huge and i went ' pa4 pa4' ( afraid ) patting my chest away...

Fish - Yu... yu... so excited tat i din even see clearly whose legs i was running into. ended up in the legs of an ang moh lady who laughed away... so embarrasing...

Monkeys - i go 'ah ah ga ga' cos the monkey toy i had at home always go 'goo goo gee gee ga ga' haha

Enuf said, lets roll the pics!!! :)

Celeste tinks : Wait til i get my license 17 yrs later and i shall get Daddie to lend me his car... hee hee

Embarking on our Zoo adventure!
Uncle Brennen was so nice to self volunteer to steer the pram, thanks ar!

Im done wf the yu...lets move on... we stil got loads to see... The white tigers reali look so cool... a pity 2 were Zzz away,the one on duty was oni pacing up and down... if oni it cld roar and let me confirm that Dad and Mum have been roaring correctly..
Best part of the zoo i like is the playground! Mummie promised to bring extra clothings for me to have water play the next time. shall stay contented wf the swing today then! Wee...
Much fun wf Ah yi and Uncle... Mummie and Daddie were secretly glad that they had wanted to come along, cos Uncle Brennen was so ONZ in taking care of me! he carried me to see the little animals when my mum and dad were all drained and sitting at the bench lazing away...
Lets go home now... im tired and need some beauty sleep...

Swimming with Jie Jie

2007-04-20T00:44:00.000-07:00

Mummie was on leave and asked Daddie if we wld wana go swimming... so off went daddie and Auntie Nat puffing away, inflating the 2 floats... 2 floats??? why do i need 2? hee hee :) Jie Jie is coming along too! Nai Nai says she will tag along and see if Jie Jie can start to like the water in a pool. The last time when they put her down in the pool at my birthday chalet, she din quite like it. Anyway, Mummie was all armed wf 'weapons' to make sure Jie Jie loves the water this time round!

but alas! Just when we were all changed and ready to set off, Mr Sun decided to take a rest and Mr Rain came... so we sang: Rain Rain go away, Celeste & Karise wana swim... aft awhile, the sky cleared and off we went! yipee!

Introducing one of the weapons - splashing ladybird ( this was a hit wf the other kids in the pool too, many were curious and some even came and had a feel of it hee hee) Score : 5/5

The rubber duckie is still Jie Jie's fave... it accompained her during pom pom time at home and perhaps tats why she can overcome her fears to enjoy the waters tis time round. Score : 4/5

Overall,it was enjoyable and we actuali swam til it was way over milk time!

I am angry!

2007-04-20T00:35:00.000-07:00

U know how kids being kids will love exploring the little corners and every corner of the house???

well, we hopped over to grandpa's house one of the weekends and i got 'barred' from touching the little trophies and fragrance bottles ( mummie used to collect them ). i was angry, i was upset! Mummie pulled me away saying its dangerous! she kept going : No Celeste, No!
i wailed and kicked.. sob, kids do have emotions too u know... i showed them all i was sad...

And i also showed them i am angry!!! I folded my arms across my chest and everyone was laughing and kept repeating : angry? angry? Celeste are you angry?

Dun the adults get it? of cos!!!!!

Letter to Celeste from Mummy

2007-04-18T19:03:00.000-07:00

Dearest Celeste,

It has been 15 mths since you came and this 15 mths has been the most wonderful time that has ever happened to your Daddie and Mummie. You brought us much joy with your antics and baby talk… You never know how proud your dad is of you! He smiles sheepishly whenever others praise you, he does insist at times to have your hair tied up in a certain style ( when he is not even bothered wf how messy Mummy’s hair looked! :p ) Your dad misses you greatly at work when he has to work long hours… he actually calls Mummy everyday in the office or on the hp ( weekends ) at 1pm sharp to enquire if Mummie has called home for your latest updates… all we wana hear is that you are eating, playing and sleeping well…

Just last week, Mummie received an sms from your dad saying : Celeste is calling for daddie in her sleep. tat smiling face on the sms tells of how glad your dad is. In fact, tat sms brot an immediate smile to Mummie too… Mummie loves the times you snuggle up beside us during bedtime, how you wake up with that ‘stoned’ look , and the endless pointing to your shoes saying : go! go! Thank you for being our baby, our little entertainer wf the ballet dance, cheeky smiles and all…

Love you!

Mummie

Celeste ONE year collage

2007-04-12T23:41:00.000-07:00

Daddie was pleasantly surprised with the poster when Mummie flashed it to him…
It was meant to be a surprise u see
Yeye said I looked like a little princess… Mummie was all so pleased!
Also thanks to my Ah yi for helping to choose the pics wf Mummie, and also for helping Mummie to upload tis entry…

U know, Mummies has been getting bugged and receiving e-mails on why the blog is not updated!

I may be small, but I do have fans! Whahahahahah…

Somehow, Mummie couldn’t blog in office ( wonders if IT has realized tat ‘someone’ is doing private blogging during office hours’ ) :p thus she enlisted Ah yi’s help to blog this entry…
For one moment, she was all so worried tat Blogger has failed her and wat will happen to the posts?

So everyone! Tis the entry tat many has been waiting for… * drums roll *

Papa's got me a slide!

2007-03-14T19:55:00.000-07:00

yipee! im gona have a personal slide - courtesy of Daddy! :)
Muacks Muacks to my most wonderful papa!
Mummie saw this discount going on and was telling papa how cheap it was but there was absolutely no space to place it if she gets it...
Daddie din even hesitate and told mummie : just get it!!!
Mummie was surprised,thot Daddie wld have thot it was a redundant purchase...
but anyway,since Daddie is the one paying and it was reali a good offer @ $88 instead of the usual $149, Mummie bugged the seller to reserve one for her if anyone cancels their order ( cos it was all fully sold liao! )

and yes! we got it! someone cancelled their order, muacks to tat person too! *sheepish grin*
oh,must not forget to thank Uncle Brennen and ah yi for helping to fetch the slider cos Daddie was at work. Uncle Brennen even set up the slide for me and came to fetch me home to play with it from my grandparents' place. Mummie was in school at tat time. Aren't they awfully nice?

Look! i can play and read at the same time!

It was a little rainy but nevertheless we went much to nai nai's dislike :p she is worried that i will get sick if i go under the rain... but no worry! i was all sheltered and protected by Daddie and Mummie as they sandwich me in btw them under the brolly... it was pretty fun gettin under the brolly and seeing the water going pitter patter on the ground as Mummie sings : Rain Rain go away,Little Celeste wants to play...

At the entrance to Underwater, we bumped into Auntie Tracy and family. Megan was there too in celebration of her first b'dae. Yes, we share the same b'dae as a few of our buds for eg. Daren :) but Daren's itinery was different, he went to the zoo...

Inside Underwater,i was amazed by the many colorful fishes - particularly the HUGE ones... oh my!!! i was shocked by the 'Ju long' translated huge dragon fish! so scary, they were so many times bigger than me! i got all frightened and clung on to Mummie very tightly and cried... the tourists were laughing at me... hmmp! but after some warming up and seeing more of those HUGE kind, i got used to them and went on the travelator twice to see the fishes... it was reali fun... heehee

After Underwater, we went to Robinsons to get pressies then to Plaza Sing for dinner wf Ah yi and Uncle Brennen. Daddie says we have yet to give him a welcome dinner... at Cafe Cartel, i ate bread, drank alittle soup and the yummi Pigeon fish biscuits tat Mummie just bot. The day ended past my bedtime and i knocked out to Lala land while in the car home... sweet dreams await me :)

My 1st Birthday Bash! Wham! :)

2007-01-12T00:47:00.000-08:00

Date : 6 January 2007
Venue: Aloha Loyang Seaview Terrace 3-Causaurina
Time : 6pm-9pm

Yes, we arrived at Aloha on 6th to get ready for the bash at nite... wow, i must say the chalet is huge! * kiss to Auntie Regina for helping wf the booking*
Jiejie Karise was very excited too! in fact all of us were... hee
Mummie and Daddie were busy wf the decor while jiejie and i played in the the playroom.. and oh my, there were millions of colourful balls in there!!!
As early as 4pm, guests started arriving... aunties,uncles, granduncle and grandaunties...
And when the cake came, i could see Mummy going all upset and almost in tears!!!
you see, she had wanted a very beautiful cake for me which she even took the trouble to call them up yesterday to make sure it was right BUT... it failed.
The cake came wf oni beige floral decors which totali mismatched what Mummie wanted!
She called Cake Avenue immediately and told them how upset she was tat her daughter's first b'dae cake gota turn out like tis! Luckily the person was kind enough or rather professional enuf to offer to resend the decor in 30mins,which they did...
So, afterall, my cake still turned out pretty and yummilicious! My guests all enjoyed the cake and even asked for more...
of cos i had my fair share and it reali was smacking good..yum yum... *slurps*
i must say a big THANK YOU to all for the wonderful gifts/ang baos / vouchers! :)

SICK episode

2006-12-03T21:31:00.000-08:00

Well, Mummie hasn't been updating cos she had no time and absolutely no energy reserve to do so... i was sick... i caught the cold bug which developed into tonsilitis... Daddie and Mummie were deeply regretful tat they had not brot me to Dr Ng,my usual PD. Not tat they din wan to, PD clinic was closed on Sunday and the following Tues, it was also closed due to unknown reason... so i got to go to a GP. GP din check me thoroughly and my mild throat imflammation led to bad tonsilitis where i ran a high fever of 39.2degree on Fri nite... Immed, my parents rushed me to the car and drove me to KKH. Mummie was so super worried,she prayed and prayed and asked Daddie and Ah yi to take turns to pray for me too...

The prayer - They rather be the ones to suffer,not me.

Wham! They got sick on Sunday itself... All three had tummy upset,Mummie had it worse wf vomitting... argh... Thank god all were fine after a few days. Mummie is just glad the episode is over...

Poor me behind the curtains wailing my lungs out during sponging

after sponging, in tears... *sniff sniff*

Feeling much beta after the medicine, watching Barney VCD at 6am in the morn while waiting for my breakfast...

Mozzie Mozzie go away

2006-10-29T23:13:00.000-08:00

Lately, there have been many many mozzies buzzing around me... and mummie... i have these horrible bites on my face and hand and Mummie believed its not those normal kinda mozzie. cos it causes a little swelling,conclusion - TOXIC MOZZIE ATTACK!

Mummie went to buy aloe vera gel for me and its working pretty slow... but thankfully Mummie and Daddie were able to bring me home sweet home for a week to escape the mozzie invasion. the bites healed pretty well over the week... Meanwhile, before my mosquito net goes up,this is what my parents used to prevent the mozzie from savouring me!!!

does it ring a bell? its exactly wat my granny uses to cover her food from houseflies!
If you are thinking how they managed to get such a BIG one, it was courtesy from Daddie's colic - Uncle Ku who got it back from Thailand for me. It reali came in handy...

The mozzies then turned their attention to Mummie! oh poor mummie, she had 15 bites on her legs,daddie say she can't blame anyone cos - she prayed to God that the mozzies will leave me alone :p
