Happy Halloween 2009!

Since there was an open invitation
to join LightedPixels for Halloween.....
I took the opportunity to expose the kids to this rare festival
which is hardly celebrated in Singapore!

In the beginning,
I thought it would be somehow awkward
to turn up in front of a random stranger's place
shouting "tricks or treats?!?!?!"

However,
after a couple of doors,
we were doing it like Pros!!!

Even Hiroshi gets the hang of it.....
running to each door enthusiastically,
shouting Tricks or Treats?!?!?!?!?!?

A great night out!

The whole jing gang!
*it's so much fun dressing up!!!!!*

Since I do not have a good costume
to go trick or treating,
I ended having a good time decorating my face!

& Adeline the pretty witch

Oh well,
I guess this will be the ONLY time of the year
that you can hang out with such outrageous makeup,
so better make the best out of it!

We had fun celebrating Halloween.

Lightedpixels,
Thank you for the Invitation!

Sentosa; Then and Now.....

THEN.... 2007


NOW..... 2009

It's hard to ignore the fact that my lil boy is all grown up now!

Sometimes the best laid plans
are often UNPLANNED....

A last minute decision to spend a day warm on the sand
proves to be a day of fun filled bonding for the whole family!

Happy Deepavali 2009

To get into the festive mood of Deepavali,
we took a trip down to Little India....

Honestly speaking,
I've never once celebrated Deepavali,
even though I've stayed all 28 years of my life
in a multi racial lil island named Singapore!

It was an educational trip for the kids and myself!

Festival of Lights
Photobucket

STILL Festival of Lights
Photobucket

STILL MORE Festival of Lights
Everyone was in such joyous mood
that they shared their sparklers with the kids!
Needless to say,
the kids TOTALLY love Deepavali
and *ahem* the endless supply of sparklers!!!
Photobucket

We even visited the Indian Temple!
Unfortunately, this pictures does not do the temple any justice!
The temple is beautiful!
Filled with many Vivid Colours!!
Photobucket

Sophia fascinated with the bells on the door of the temple

How can we leave without tasting any Indian Cuisine?!?

Worth every last penny in the pocket!!!

Wishing all indians,
HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!

So Adorable!!!!

All the kids were amazing!
The months of hard work DID paid off at the end of the day!
We TOTALLY enjoyed ourselves!
(oh well, other than the constant "technical" problem,
and the never ending talking from the emcee,
the whole performance was a THUMBS UP!!)
Photobucket

Finally a moment to ourselves....
Picture Time!
Photobucket

Then, we rushed over to Grassroot club
at Yio Chu Kang for Noelle's 1st Birthday.....
Perfect venue for children's birthday party!

Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) 2009

I was on the verge of giving up my stand
on ONLY BUYING traditional lanterns
when the kids came back with the school's memo
stating for them to each bring a battery operated lantern
to celebrate mid autumn festival....

I brought the kids to the nearby mall,
telling them to take a pick on their favourite lantern design.

To my surprise,
they didn't go for the battery operated ones!!!!
(despite the fact that I was trying very hard
to sell them the "battery operated lantern" idea!)

Hiroshi ended up with a dragon,
and Sophia ended up with the ever loving purple dino; Barney!
PhotobucketPhotobucket

We spent the night lantern trotting, mooncake savouring,
and really going nuts with light sticks and sparklers!!!
(Kitson & myself seems to be catching up on
what we've missed out during our childhood! -.-"')

We should do this every year!
I had fun, and I'm sure the kids did too!
