24/25 Dec 2010 - Merry Christmas the 4th!

This is the fourth year spending xmas with dayan and it is getting more fun each year.

We stayed indoor on the eve since we reckon that the streets will be crowded. Father and son were hooked on the PS3 - castlevania while i worked till the clock strikes 12.

Afterthat - we head to koufu for supper.

Our xmas gifts - majority for dayan since he's got more gifts than us.

We did not had particular agenda for chrismas day. Went to orchard to buy some cosmetic only to realise orchard rd is close from 1pm to 1am. Quickly rushed to parked at heeren since that will be the nearest carpark to CTE for home.

We had Waraku for lunch - ordered the standard unagi for Alson, a ramen kids meal for dayan while i had beef ramen.

at Waraku - dessert - ice cream

Dayan finished all the food (except the salad and fries) which is really good since we had never seen him finishing up the kids meal. For the 1st time!

After lunch - road closure effected- we walked "ON" orchard road which is fun since we never get this chance during normal days. took a few pics before reaching Tangs to discover that they are close.

Went home for dinner before going to IKEA with MIL to buy extra storage - dinner at ikea.

19 Dec 2010 - Last lesson at GUG

It has been 9mth since dayan attended lessons at GUG. Over the 9 mths - we finally see improvement during the last 2 mths of the lessons where he started going into classes without us and cooperating with everyone else in class - remarkable improvements dayan :)

The school organised the xmas potluck party for the children with gift exchange.
Dayan got a present from Anthon his classmate - a playdoh set.

07 Dec 2010 - a day at the straits

We have received a letter from PCF to purchase the uniform for dayan which is the same day as our outing. Head out early and managed to reach aljunied before 10am.

We set sail at about 11am. Dayan was very excited about this trip and the moment he stepped into the yatch - he was enjoying himself - running all around.

All went out sun bathing except for the children and of course us (Sis, AL myself)- since we need to look after them.

Lunch was BBQ + fried rice. Dayan being a typical "chinaman" had trouble having lunch since this is not his typical meals but we manage to let him have garlic bread brought by sis to keep him full.

Nap time for the kids and we managed to escape out to enjoy the sea breeze for a while before it began to drizzle.

Stayed indoor until the weather clears and it was closed to evening. We brought the children out since its not sunny.

Dayan was enjoying himself - taking photographs. At one time - he even asked all of us to sit while he takes pic for the group. I get cold feet when i see him backing off towards the rail in order to get everyone into the camera window so Alson rush to stop him.

When the yatch finally anchored - Dayan says he wants to come back again :)

Hari Raya weekend 10 Sep 2010

We went to my aunty's place at Hougang during afternoon for a family gathering. Both papa and myself were surprised with your behaviour - you can interact with my family now as compared to shying away in the past. Late in the evening, we brought you home for porridge and you went to bed early when we told you that we will be going seaside next day.

Went to east coast to cycle and kick ball. You enjoyed yourself and said to come back again. We went old airport road for lunch.

Relaxing Saturday - 28 Aug 2010

Went with colleagues to 15minutes at Laselle before and quite like that place. Iwas surprised when my colleagues told me not to come in the evening if i bring my son cos they have like live band performance at night. Brought Dayan and Alson this time and ordered their speciality - Oriental duck pizza. As parking it ex - we head to Vivo city after food.

Its an amusing and amazing how kids starts their argument with adults in order to get their request fulfilled. We had not really intended to go down to Vivo earlier in the day but only made the decision after we were at compass point. Dayan has his eyes on the stanley set priced at $39.95 but we were reluctant to get for him since it is costly. We made our way out of Metro but this thing still reside in his mind. He wanted us to return to Metro but Alson said no need since the set is sold out by now.

Dy - I told u to get it sooner. You see - now its no more.

Al - We can go Vivo later after you have ur porridge

Dy - We can go Vivo not and eat porridge later

At Vivo city toys'r'us and found the stanley set.

Dy - This is heavy

Al - I help u to carry

Dy - no need - its too heavy for you - i will carry until pay $

After purchase made :

Dy - my legs are in pain - i cannot walk now

Al - do you need to sit down

Dy - yes - (found a seat)

Dy - now open up the box

Went for a short walk after stanley is retrieve - at the open near marche. We took off our shoes and so did dayan and walk around the grass and in the water. Since he was enjoying - we suggest to go swimming pool next time but he said - no - swimming pool will get the clothes wet .......

19Jul2010 - Universal Singapore

My coy organised a trip for all employees to Uni SG. Dayan came with papa after his lunch. He was always no good with new places and people and the same expectation we had when he arrived at noon.

Before he got settled down - we brought him to Steven Spielberg studio which was a mistake since it scares him much with the action scenes. We tried to calm him and went on to Magadascar ride which he was ok with and played with the work crew. i think we went up 10x till my head spins.

The next stop is Shrek and we thought he would enjoyed the 4D but he cried so hard that we had no choice but to exit the theatre before angering the crowd. He got a gingerbread man after the crying stops since we had retail vouchers to deplete.

Late lunch at Mel - there he enjoyed the hotdog :)

We walked around the place and back to Shrek's world where dayan see Fiona and SHrek photo session. He wanted to take pic with them so we queue for it. Shrek does not look too alike as in the show but Fiona is good.

After that - we took a short break at one of the cafe for drinks and ice cream and alson saw Kungfu panda - dayan want a pic and we went for it but the pic did not turn out good. Back to the cafe - Frankenstein came in to buy food and dayan hurried us to leave. He did not say anything but only after we left - he said he is scared.

We proceed to TP after this but the boy keeps repeating that he will not come to uni sg again - haiz :)
