Some Old Pics of Little Jaimie

I saw these old pictures in my laptop. They were posted in the bayb supplies forum years ago, literally.

They brought back so much fond memories of Jaimie and the forum.

An Evening With Friends

These are some of Jaimie's dearest friends...

Ayden

Seraphine

and baby Shermaine.

The kids had a great time in the pool this evening.

Jaimie was very happy because she had fun with 2 of her best friends. She was elated when we told her that both her friends would be going to Genting with us the week after next.

Yup! YS, Nic and our family will be driving to Genting together. And YS and us will stay one more night in Malacca. Jaimie still remembered her trip with Ezra and RR 1.5 years ago. Imgaine how thrilled Jaimie will be to be able to enjoy the theme park with her good friends, again!~

I am sure the 3 kids + baby Shermaine will have a smashing good time together!!

JAIMIE'S THIRD PROFESSIONAL HAIRCUT

Errr...yes, Jaimie was 38mths old yesterday and she had her third professional haircut. Her second haircut was on 21 Feb 2009. We went to the Junior League at Vivocity where Jaimie looked forward to receiving her balloon, candy and sticker.
She was hoping to watch any other movies besides Thomas the Tank Engine (yawn~~) but unfortunately, they were screening exactly what she didn't like when it was her turn. She was a little fidgeting during the haircut but generally she was cooperative. She even had some coloured hairspray after the cut which she thought was absolutely gorgeous.

We proceeded to the playground after that and to our disappointment, half the playground was under renovation. So, we went for an early dinner. We saw the statue of Singa outside the Food Republic. I guess only people who are above 30 years old know who is Singa. He should make a come back.

After dinner, it was some water fun.

The sky was beautiful in the evening.

Jaimie took over my camera and snapped these pictures. She played with the European girl in the lavander dress who spoke no English. However, it was amazing that the 2 girls could communicate, some how!!

Power Lunch

About 10 years ago there were 4 Little Dragons in Asia. Now, meet the 4 Phoenix of Singapore.
Ms Long, CFO, MOC Company (Mother of Cherrlyn).

Regional Manager, Ms Lo WL (MBA Harvard, BSc Hons MIT), Global United Allied Inc, who handles multi-million dollar decisions every day.

Ms Vivian, Vikin74 Inc, the Gourmet Mogul.

Ms Angie, CEO of ABC (Pte) Ltd. (Angelcow Bullshit Company) who specialises in handling bullshit at workplaces.

Handshakes were exchanged during the lunch meeting.
The 4 Phoenix had discussions which could have shaped the future of the Asian economy. Unfortunately, they could not come to a concensus. Ms Lo was particularly upset about the fruitless outcome.
The 4 Phoenix adjourned to the neighbouring cafe to discuss further. Proposals were read in details.
After a few drinks...
everything becomes a piece of cake!Important confirmation phonecalls were made...

Final details were ironed out...
We finally signed the contract and got ready to take a final picture to commemorate this important day.

Cheers!! May our friendship and partnership goes a long way!

Time to celebrate! Now Ms Lo was happy!

Jaimie Drew The First Face and Stick Man

Jaimie was still unable to draw anything decent on Sunday although Seraphine jie-jie had been teaching Jaimie to draw the whole evening.

This evening, Jaimie managed to draw her FIRST face with some verbal instructions from Clement! He asked Jaimie to draw a circle as the face. Then, Jaimie went on to add 2 dots and a line as the eyes and mouth respectively on her own!

Clement and I were SO PROUD because Jaimie has always been slower when it comes to dexterity. She fed herself later than her peers, she turned bottle caps later than her peers, her control of the pen/ brush was slower and clumsier than her peers. She still could not handle a pair of scissors. It didn't bother us much but we were very happy when we saw that she could control the pen well enough to make her first drawing!

We sang praises of her drawings and Jaimie was in cloud nine. She erased the board and drew confidently, without any instructions or help.
After a while I taught her to add some hair to the otherwise botak head. And I got a little ambitious and showed her how to draw a stick man. The one on the right hand side was my demo and the one on the left hand side was what she drew. I quickly snapped a picture while she was erasing it and hence my stick man had a leg amputated.
This is another milestone for little Jaimie. :)

Moonlight Sonata

I took these pictures quite some time back but I forgot to blog about them.

One particular night at about 2am, when Clement was still couching in front of the TV and I just finished MSN-ing with my friends from overseas, I came into my room and saw some beautiful light on the floor! I popped my head out of the window and I realised that it was the moonlight!

The beautiful silver moonlight splashed into my room. At that moment, all I could feel was serenity, peotry and love.

I asked Clement to come into the room to spend some time together feeling the moonlight while watching an angel sleeping in peace.

It was an unforgettable night.
