Enjoying NDP 2009 part 2 -- The Pledge Moment 8.22pm

These future leaders of Singapore...

(8) What do most children want to be when they grow up?

Enjoying NDP 2009 part 1.2 and 2.1 -- Just for Record purposes

After the zoo trip, we went home to take a rest before meeting up with my in laws in my brother in law's family to take a family portriat. 8th August is also the wedding anniversay of my in laws.

On the 9th August morning, we met up with Nic and Ayden to catch the movie "Up" @ Jurong Point. Jaimie was totally engrossed in the movie while munching on popcorns.

Enjoying NDP 2009 part 1 -- Trip to the Zoo

The National Day celebration for our family began on the 8th August (in fact, 7th Aug for Clement and YS as they went for karaoke from 11pm-3am). We went to the zoo with Nic's family and YS and Sera. Shelley was at home taking care of Shermaine so she wasn't at the zoo with us.

Beware of buayas, girls.

"Run if you see a buaya coming!"

"Hey! I am no buaya!"

How many times must I tell you I am NOT a Buaya!!!

The girls had some boy issues with Ayden and they decided to ostracise him. Hmmm...

The wet playground in the zoo was really fun! The children had a great time there.

Lunch after the playground session. The girls finally decided to let Ayden be part of their clique.

Finally...

She Has The Playground To Herself

I haven't been clearing the pictures in my little camera (which is getting a little old and outdated, dear hubby) (*BIG HINT*) and I found these pictures I took on the 28th July 09. Clement and I both took childcare leave to spend a day with Jaimie.

We went to IMM but the playground was closed for a private function. Jaimie was so disappointed that she cried and cried as we carried her away from the apologetic security guard. We promised her that she would have the same fun in another playground --the rooftop playground @ Lot One. True enough, Jaimie was so happy to have the entire playground to herself! Hmmm... actually, I didn't think she minded if the playground was crowded or empty. But Clement and I were happy that we could sit down and relax while watching the little girl having fun.

Jaimie was playing hide and seek, dashing through the "water curtains" (花果山水帘洞？？) and doing aquatic yoga... she had so much water fun that she had a runny nose the next day. Hahaha~~

Happy Birthday Seraphine!

It's Seraphine's birthday yesterday and we booked the mini function room at our condo for her to hold her celebration. The little princess is 5 years old!!!

Sera has always been one of Jaimie's favourite jie-jie. That evening, together with some other kids, they all went wild running around the places.

Some of my top friends-- Dawn and Pam.

And another top friend, who is the happy mother of the birthday girl, Shelley, joined in the picture. So difficult to find time to get everybody together. Must take one more picture!

Clement's top friends.

Happy 5th Birthday, Sera! May you grow up to be a beautiful princess who loves and has plenty of love!
