It's the last day of the year!

And what have you been doing?

It's the time of the year to sit down and reflect about what you've done and recollect your thoughtsfor the past 364 days in the year.

I always tell myself it doesn't matter how I start the race in life, it only matters how I end it!

In 2008, I've picked up a couple of new interest....
I've learn to knit.
I've made hair clips, dresses, and crayon rolls.
I went gila making bento boxes, and educating my children.

I am thankful that I have a supporting hubby who supports every new interest that I indulge in... And I don't mean just monetary support...

He will go all out looking for ribbons during my hair clip craze, lunch box during my bento craze and even a decent dress making scissors during my dress making craze.

I know what you are thinking... Too bad! He is taken for life, for better or worst... In sickness or in health!

But, I could introduce you his buddy Eddy though!

*giggle*

Hiroshi has finally open up his golden mouth to speak!Nowadays, he speaks in sentences......and even ask innocent questions which I often find trouble answering to it.....(eg: Mummy.... why is Johnny Boy (penis) so BIG?!?)And at times he even surprises us with new vocabulary he picked up along the way!I could see the approaching of horrible 3 stage,where he learns to whine and kick up a big fuss from Sophia.Oh My! When will I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Sophia on the other hand yaks in sentences,Her favourite till date is "I don't want!"She is already exerting her RIGHTS at such a young age....*headache*She has the temper of a raging bull...She whines and throw tantrum like some kinda Taiwanese soap opera!Oh boy! Did the terrible 2 stage came in early?!!?
Nevertheless,
I am thankful that God has continuously blessed me in many possible ways.And I look forward to seeing his greater works next year!Especially in times of recession!He said ask and it shall be given undo you,seek and you shall find....
Here I am asking God, Please blessed our lives and our POCKETS abundantly!
Cheers for a better 2009!
To commemorate the end of a year,and the starting of another.....

Addicted to the Singapore's Favourite National Hobby!

Damns... 

Have you heard of anyone addicted to Qing?!?!

I think I am!

Goodness Gracious!

I did the unthinkable again....

Q up to 2 hours to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse for 2 minutes...

All for the sake of having a decent FAMILY picture 

with that 2 famous mouse!!

(Kitson wasn't in the picture the last time round 

as he needed to report for work!)

Family Picture with Mickey & Minnie Mouse

Take 2 (-o-)"'

The kids were still very excited to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse,

even though this was the 2nd time we were doing it....

Must be the Magic in the air!

(*ahem* or might be the kiasu spirit in the air too!!

Wahahahahaha.....)

Xplorer Kids @ Downtown East

We hang out with Crystina'na' 

(That's exactly how Hiroshi calls Crystina!!) 

and Ray 

at Xplorer Kids; Downtown East....

I still find that the older kids are very rough!

One of them even pushed Sophia down the slide!

I was so bloody pissed mad!

I screamed at the other kid!

WTF!

Sometimes it just makes me wonder where the hell 

are the responsible parents!

As that area clearly states for kids age 3 and below!

And that kid is surely older than 3!

Nevertheless, the kids had a great time!

 I just love how cheeky Hiroshi looks in these pictures!

My gentle Sophia sitting in the colorful Ball Pit.....

Exploring the tunnels (^0^)

Big cheeky Smile!

After Xplorer Kids, 

At Gelare.....

Can't decide what flavor ice cream to have next....

Is it going to be chocolate or strawberry?!?

Or maybe Vanilla?!?

Clothed In LOVE....

It's been a long time since I made any garment on my own.

11 years to be precise....

Now, I am finding real joy 

making little mini dresses for my princess....

This was my 1st attempt...

The dress was obviously too BIG!

But, the bow looks really Cute & Classy!

2nd attempt

I love this one....

It fits her just right...

And she looks really comfortable in it

Many thanks to SIL Irene who gave me the sewing machine,

so that I can indulge in the hobby I once loved....

Merry Christmas!

You seriously won't believe where we spent our Christmas!

(On a side note, I thought I could surprise my MIL and SIL in JB....

I called MIL on her mobile and asked her where she was....

Only to be replied innocently IPOH!!
