SERAPHINA TURNS
TWO TODAY!!I have loads of photos!
But will only blog them in a nutshell.
=)
Took leave on her special day.
Hubby & I decided to bring Sera out.
And boy, was she soooo happy!

Check out her sexy back, yo!
FIRST STOP.
Takashimaya with mil.
Had 'birthday' lunch at Sushi Tei.

Then mil bought her a mini cake to preempt her for her actual birthday cake.
Had a good laugh watching Sera blow her birthday candle everytime we lit it up.

"Lemme at it! Lemme at it!!!"
SECOND STOP.
After dropping mil off for her MJ session,
hubby drove down to the Singapore Science Centre.


The place was totally
SWAMPED with little school kids.
Really no feel after that..


They look eerie here lor.
Hubby & I also went for the CSI Exhibit.
(Oh, and no photos allowed in there.)
Honestly, it was much of a disappointment.
After that. we went to IMM to do a little shopping.
As we had time before fetching mil.
By then Sera was already dead tired.
And slept in the car on the way there screaming for fries.
(Cos I promised her fries to lure her away...)
In my defense I REALLY did want to get them at Macs at Singapore Science Centre okay!
But the queue of little school kids at Macs were so looonggg...
No thanks, I'd rather not.
Wanted to get them from IMM but Sera was tired and cranky after a long day.
So she used FRIES as an excuse to throw her tantrums.
Her birthday, so give her chance.
Hah!
Returned home for dinner and for her cake cutting!

Care Bear birthday cake!
(Cos she loves Care Bears.)



See that smile on her face!
=)

Happy birthday to you~
Happy birthday to you~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MY DEAR SERA!!!~
Happy birthday to you~~~~~~~

Blowing out the candles.

Cutting the cake with daddy.






Sera dear, may you grow up to be obedient and filial.
Healthy and hardworking.
Always forgiving and gracious.
And most of all always
HAPPY!
=D
We love you!

My little Sera will be turning
TWO in 3 weeks time..
I admit, I have not had much time to think what to do to celebrate her birthday.
But the past few days, I've been on leave to stay at home to look after the kids..
(Sian, going back work tomorrow already..)And I really don't know what to do.
Her birthday falls on a weekday.
And to celebrate would have to be a weekend before..
And it happens to be
CNY week...
Zzzz...
Also don't feel like celebrating a big event,
maybe just family and a theme party...
Maybe not have a party, but bring her to some place special.
Or something...
Need.to.crack.my.head.anyone.with.any.ideas???After that would be hubby's birthday.

Then Angel's
FIRST.
Followed by my
TWENTY-FIRST.Time flies...
Shall settle
CNY first.
Went to Nex yesterday and bought
CNY clothes from Isetan with vouchers.

Only paid a total of 6 bucks and 70 cents.
=)
They're gonna wear that for the 2nd day of
CNY.

And these for the First day.
Bought them online.
Chio~
Okay, back to the drawing board to Sera's birthday..

Well, I personally don't own a iPad.
When it first came out, I thought it was just a iTouch, only
MAGNIFIED!x1931823190
Then my sil bought one and I thought it was, well, kinda cool.
So I went to Google the
NEXT iPad 2 generation.
According to
mis-asia.com, Apple will roll out a second-generation iPad next April, a year after the original's launch.
And stumbled across this site which I thought was humorously true.
If Apple ever really comes out with all the functions it should have,
I will become like
THIS, hunting down the iPad from dusk till dawn till I get my hands on it!
But in the mean time, I'll just wait for my iPhone 4.
Or the next iPhone 5 which will be predicted to come out in June this year.
Woo!~
Apple just keeps coming out with new technology which I just can't keep up.

Today is the last day of the Old Year.
And tomorrow will be the first day of the New Year.
Time really flies.
I remember welcoming this year with mixed feelings.
What 2010 was like for me:
- Gave birth to my precious Angelica.
- My little Seraphina turned ONE years old.
- Transferred to a new depeartment & had new colleagues & awesome sisters.
- FOUR month of maternity leave to enjoy with my 2 kids & bond with them.
- Found new friends & forged close relationships making a difference in my life. =)
There you go.
Doesn't seem like much.
But these few things have been life changing for me.
2010 has been a pretty good one for me this year.
As we count down to 2011, I hope 2011 will turn out even better.
Not only for me, but for everyone else too.
=)
Countdown: 7 hours & 50 minutes to go.

CHRISTMAS 2010
Last year hubby & I made cupcakes to give away as presents.
So this year, I decided to give away cookies!
=)
It's not that I'm lazy to think what to buy.
Neither am I being stingy.
Just felt like doing something from my heart.
This is
爱心食物So please appreciate the love and effort gone to making them.
Thank you.

Batter.
Initially wanted to make butter cookies to give away.
But changed my mind as mil said chocolate chip cookies are better.
Mil & I made the chocolate chip cookies together, as it was my first time.
She taught me how.
Relatively easy to make!!
Was very happy with the end result.
=)

Chocolate chips added to the batter.

All ready to go into the oven!

In progress.

Looks yummy!

Look at the perfect roundness of each cookie.
We painstakingly shaped each drop of dough.

Am uber proud!
=)


Can open shop to sell cookies!
Famous Amos Serene.HAHAHAHA!!
Packing up the cookies into individual bags.

Tied the cookie packs with red ribbons.


So pretty right?

The final product.
=)

After that I proceeded to wrap
the rest of the presents to give away.


Mostly for little kids.
Shouldn't be encouraging them to be eating cookies.
Heh!
CHRISTMAS EVE.
24.10.2010.
Christmas Eve was spent at home.
As Fil had his company party.
CHRISTMAS DAY
25.10.2010.
Woke up bright and early.
(Well, mainly cos the girls always wake up at about 7-8am)
It was also Angelica's
FIRST CHRISTMAS.
And Seraphina's
SECOND CHRISTMAS.(Last Christmas my poor Sera was very very sick. So glad she was able to enjoy Christmas this year. =D)
Bathed the kids and prepared to head to church.
Dressed the kids up in beautiful white formal dresses.
(Making use of the chance to dress them up!)

Angel.

Her headband makes her look like those
Ah 婆 in the olden day shows.
Only in the center is not a huge flower.
But a huge green jade!

"Mummy! How can you do this to me?"

Now that looks better!

"Yes mummy, I agree so too!"

Sera infront of our Christmas tree piled with presents!!!
So this year, Mil bought little Christmas hats for the girls to wear.
SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made me feel even more in a Christmas-y mood.





A very irritated looking Sera.
Cos I kept making her wear it,
and she kept pulling it off.
WAHAHAHA!!!
Sian already.

At church.

Angel holding a Christmas present.

So dao!!!

In the end,
Sera went around wearing her hat for everybody.

Yes.
My Sera is a very affectionate little lady.

Wearing for herself.


So after church, hubby & I had lunch at Ka-Soh sponsored by my mom!
Thanks mom!
=)
Then we headed home.

What I wore for Christmas.

Random.

Random.
Gummy bear stuck on her teeth.
LOL!Then decided to leave the kids in the care of my in-laws.
And let them take their afternoon nap.
Then hubby drove both of us down to Whampoa,
for Christmas "lunch" at my step-sis's place.




Yummy-licious
DIY log cake!
Returned home for dinner.
And it was time to unwrap presents!!!
SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!


The girls eagerly waiting in anticipation.
Their first present to unwrap was given by my in laws!
=)





Ready...
Get set...
GO!!

"Oooo! What's that???"

My very own kitchen set!!

Angel has her own car/first step walker.
=)

Very happy with her loot!!
(Daddy behind very engrossed in watching TV.)

Yes, a
VERY happy Sera too!
=D

"Quick daddy quick! Fix it for me quick!!!"


Steak anyone??

How about eggs??

Boiled eggs can??

Or roasted chicken??

I'll lay the table first,
while we wait for the food to be ready okay?

Checking to see if the roasted chicken is ready.

Busy busy.
It was so obvious Sera was so excited by her new kitchen set.
So I asked her if she was happy.
Sera looked at me and replied,
"HAPPY!"Their happiness is what makes up mine.
=)


Angel waiting for her toy to be fixed up next.



"Gimme gimme!!!"

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as I had.
