俊耀表弟满月了

俊耀表弟is one month old. Congratulation to 大舅与舅妈。
大舅与舅妈 held a simple celebration and invited us to his home.

Now with 表弟joining , Kai and Xuan would have more fun.

"A Proud Papa and his Child"

Look at Jing Xuan, smiling happily with a big smile. She was enjoying the "new" environment, "new" toys and attention she was receiving.

Now, look at the litte boy who run around, in and out of the house (as if this was his own house) without his shoes. At the end of the day, he went home with a pair of "black and dirty" legs.

Tanglin Mall

This evening Papa decided to bring Kai and Xuan to Orchard Road to see the beautiful lighting and to feel/touch the “snow” in Tanglin Mall.

The artificial “snow” was not very friendly to children, it made children very wet. Kai also not interested to play in this “mess” . Xuan was only interested in the lights. We took some interesting photo before proceed to see the lighting. It was a short trip but was an eye opening to the children.







Merry Christmas to
Kai & Xuan

To Raffles Marina

On the eve of X’mas. Papa and mommy knocked off early so in the evening, the family proceed to Raffles Marina club to see yachts and to feel the "sea breezes".

Both were very excited (Kai has not been feeling feel nor eating well for the past few days, so papa and mommy thot it might be a good idea to bring him out for a while). This was the first time papa brought them to see “real” yachts and big ships. Papa explained to Kaikai everything that come to our view. Unfortunately, it was dangerous to let Kaikai run around as there was no proper fencing.Therefore, Papa has to carry Kaikai throughout. We fed Kaikai his dinner there (we are pleased that he has finished the meal smoothly) and we brought some breads for Xuanxuan.



Xuanxuan loved bread. She say “ma ma mum mum” the first time. All these while she only called her Papa :)

Kai & Xuan photo with Christmas tree

After dinner, the family did some window shop at West Mall. There we saw this gigantic Christmas tree with huge red ribbons and bells.

We tried to take some pics but we were not able to capture this tree in. So we decided to take pictures with a miniature of this Christmas tree.

This was the first time xuan (10mth) took picture with Christmas Tree and Kai's (28mth) second time.

X'mas celebration at Ah Mah's house (AMK)

We have a min-x'mas celebration at Ah Mah's place (Ang Mo Kio). This was the creation of all mummies who wanted to give these little kids something to look forward to and be happy. Each mummies have prepared some small gift for every children. Its not the value but the thought that count. "Presents opening ceremony" Xuan was so happy...
"Presents opening ceremony", look Xuan was so happy, laughing wif her eyes closed.

Kai's face light up immediately when he received gifts. Xuan still young, but she enjoyed touching and opening presents.

These two children really enjoyed opening up presents (btw, Kai didn't like to take photo recently, so he gave us this type of face).

Mummy also bought
2 presents for these 2

lovely kids.

See how DR TAN ZEKAI operation his doctor set.

BTW DR TAN was having a bad flu that day. Can U C his red, wet nose???

Kai Celebrating School x'mas

Today Kaikai went for his school X’mas party. Mommy reckons Kai didn’t even know what’s going on. All he knew was this day he didn’t have to wear uniform.

Days ago, his form teacher pasted a notice on his book saying to prepare a $5 gift exchange. So mommy quickly got Kai’s gift ready. On top of that, mommy has prepared 3 gifts for his teachers.

This day Kai was pretty happy. According to 婆婆, Kai has eaten some cookies and was smiling when婆婆 brought him home. He has also gotten his first gift from his gift exchange… it’s a “pink colour” stationery set. Kai was happy with the gift even though it was “pink”, the colour he did not like at all.

Series of picture showing how the two little ones played together. Kai liked to demonstrate that he is older than xuan, he would say 哥哥拿，给哥哥，妹妹听etc etc
