School Holidays!!!!!!!

When I was young, whenever school holiday starts, I will go to my grandma house in Malaysia. Over there I will have lots of fun cos all my cousins are there. And there are many of them and we are very close to each other. We will play day and night. Though we don have mother garden sets, we have the real thingy which nowadays or even children at my age have not experience before. My grandma house has a backyard where we will pluck all the weeds, secretly stole charcoal from my aunts kitchen, stole my grandma's home grown bittergourd, stole my grandma's egg from the barn and cooked in the backyard. It's so so fun.
All these Wan Qi are not able to play with which is very sad. My grandma's old house has long been demolished, now they lived in a town. So even when Wan Qi went back, she can no longer played the same thing like me.
Hence to compensate, I try to let her play with her cousins at home with the toys I bought. I hope she has a fun childhood just like me. :>

Wan Qi's first ballet class@Ballet Academy

Milky my little doogie kept sniffing Wan Qi's ballerina shoes, stockings. And following Wan Qi . Think she smells Phoebe and is thinking how come Wan Qi smells like a different person, haha cos this ballerina suit was lent by Annie(Phoebe's mummy). Thanks Annie.



I was surprised she stands just like a ballerina. haha nobody taught her that. :>


As the ballet shoes are very delicate, I asked Wan Qi to wear her bloom shoes when she is outside the school compound. Plus, the shoes belongs to Phoebe. :>


14th May 2011 is Wan Qi's first ballet lesson. She longed for ballet classes but was too lazy to source a good ballet school for her. Finally, I registered her in Ballet Academy which I thought is good. There are many teenagers and adult learners who had been there for a long time. So I just give it a try.

I borrowed a set of ballerina suit together with tutu and shoes from my colleague Annie. And she is so nice to even lend the stockings to Wan Qi. Thank you Annie. :>

In the morning,after doing some work, we prepared ourselves and by 11:00am, we set off. However, it started to rain when we were about to go and take a train. As I was afraid that Wan Qi's stocking will be wet, I carried her from time to time. By the time we reached Ballet Academy, I was breathless. But this little girl kept telling me that she loves me a lot when I carry her. She told me she is already very heavy.
She is a sensible girl most of the time. :>
We were early. And Wan Qi was the first to arrive. I cant see what the little ballerinas but once in a while there will be some late comers so I managed to catch a glimpse of whats going on in the class. While others were busy peeping into the hole to video the little ballerinas. I could merely see them doing it as I was too short and I felt a bit funny to tiptoe like them. :)So no choice just have to wait for Wan Qi to come out to ask her what had she learnt.
She is very happy. She likes her ballet lesson which is good. :> That is all I want. A happy ballerina.

Staying at Harris Batam 2Day1Nite trip

Just look at the way Wan Qi stand. I thought it looked a bit comical and quickly snapped this pic

Went to Batam for a 2Day1Nite trip during the long weekend. But I went only on Sunday as I was the reserve presiding officer on polling day. The very next day after watching the election at 3plus am, I woke up the next day, all prepared for the trip.
All in all we paid $216 with incl the hotel stay, massage for 2 , bowling, ferry tickets and the ride to downtown. We did not book for Wan Qi's share as we thought it will be a waste since she werent be enjoying the massage.Hence, we just reached Harbour Front earlier to buy her tickets. In the end, we only need to pay for her taxes not even the ferry tickets. :)
After having mc, we proceeded to take the ferry. It was a short hour trip so still not bad. And after reaching, we took the shuttle bus to Harris,think its only a 5min drive from the ferry terminal.
Their service is good. The pools are big and clean too. But Xihong thought it will be dirty so he didnt bring Wan Qi 's swimsuit along. And Wan Qi kept throwing temper as she wanted to go swimming. So angry with her.
But overall, the trip was relaxing. The best part I think was when we went to a pub by the sea and watched the moonlight and stars while Wan Qi drank her hot milo and eating fries. I mean you seldom get to see stars in Singapore.
The next morning, Wan Qi go for her treasure hunt. It was not bad. The children got to solve the puzzle first before using the map to find the location of the hiding place. Then they went to the hiding place to find the treasure. It was quite a big area for the children to find. In fact, the teacher herself couldnt find the toy and we as adults couldnt find the toy too. In the end, the teacher had to ask the person who had hidden the toy personally. Then with some clues, Wan Qi found the toy. Hurray for Wan Qi. So everyone was given a scarf.
Next, they did origami. They folded a complicated paper aeroplane. I am always lousy when it comes to origami. And had a paper aeroplane flying competition after that. Then we decided to go for bowling but Wan Qi insisted on staying with the kids. So we went on our own bravely (since the rest of the kids are on their own)
But I managed to drag Wan Qi to take a picture with her dad in the bowling arcade who strike all the way. No la just kidding. Striked occasionally only. hee

Happy 5th Birthday my sweetie Wan Qi

Preparation for the decoration of bakezine cake. Bathe the dwarfs first.

Wan Qi insisted adding the ugly Snow White. She said its ok, she is ugly too. haha

Using her phonics skill, Wan Qi read from the hawker signboard and told me she wanted to eat kway chap. So I bought her a set. See! She is using the chopsticks with her right hand. She can use chopsticks with her left and right hand. :)



Went to SIMALU to pray for Wan Qi's good health, happiness,safety.:>
Thank you Guang Yin Niang Niang for blessing Wan Qi.


Flowery shoe to match the gown.




We went to take BIG HEAD PHOTO. It's fun.


Wan Qi is easily contented when it comes to food (she will be tremendously happy if she is given the forbidden food so on her birthday, we decided to bring her to mc.)


Bought this princess gown for Wan Qi, love the big ribbon!

How's my Snow White and the 7 dwarfs cake? Not bad right. Didnt dare to take a closer shot as I am afraid the snow white will be "exposed". Wan Qi commented that she is ugly due to her puffy eyes.

My happy girl!


Suddenly, remember that I need to let Wan Qi wear her snow white costume and quickly changed her. Xihong was complaining that I am so troublesome.By the time, we eat the cake, it will be not delicious anymore. And it's true. :P




This is for papa as he is the grumpiest person in the family. haha

This is chosen by Wan Qi as she loves the sleepy dwarf.

This is for mummy cos the rest were rolled in the "mud". I told Wan Qi the dwarfs played too much in the mud (chocolate)
