"engine" started! cheeky face made.. =P

cheeky face gone bonkers.. hahaha

baby baby baby

i was looking thru the pics of adri last nite.. and she has grown so much!!! i mean i'm very very happy of cos dat she's growing & developing well but i m also very sad.. cos i realised i dun spend enough time with her.. and i can't stop time!

time reali flies past so fast that u dun realise it at all.. am wondering if my mummy felt the same when i was growing up too..

just look at the differences mths back.. oh my...

4mths old

2 fun weekends!

fri 15.08.08

fabian supposed to be on leave to bring adri to gogobambini for a meetup with other oct mummies! but he had to attend some dumb budget meeting so i m all alone..
nvm, i shall be brave and bring her out ALONE! 1st attempt.. oh my god... i didn't drive cos i dun tink i can handle her alone.. didnt even dare to bring her stroller.. omg! reali "peifu" alice, carol & jas.. and the other mummies too! they can handle so well..

adri is as usual her COOL self without a smile on her face.. plus her nose is so sensitive it kept running.. haiyo... poor dear.. tink she is also very confused as to y m i the only one with her.. keke.. i'm such a lousy mummy.. sobz

didnt manage to take much pics as i was more worried abt keeping her out of reach of those notti boys who kept jumping into the ball pit! and one of them even threw a toy n hit me.. seriously think gogobambini shd be stricter with their rulings at the babies' area and keep it out of bounds to kids > 3years old! and erm.. cleanliness.. hmm.. erm.. i didnt see any cleaning done leh..

dinner is specially for 珮姨as her birthday is coming soon.. stooopid me brought cam out.. BUT! without the memory card.. sob sob.. tink i lost my own memory too.. such is the effects of pregnancy & childbirth. keke.. =D
anyway, we had a great time! and baby was sleeping when we went over to grocer jones after the dinner...

sun 17.08.08

baby didn't attend her gymboree class cos her nose is running and i dun want other parents to think she's sick or wat.. oh well.. itz okie, i just wan adri to be fine! =D

sat 23.08.08

went for my last yoga lesson (but far from over cos signed up another course!).. i can feel my body still aching from the last session! i m so old..
dinner with family @ great world city.. 美姨's treat for 珮姨's bday..
so jealous so jealous cos baby bought a toy from Motherswork for adri while bringing her out for a walk while we were finishing dinner! though itz not ex but.. hmpf! =P
we went motherswork again together after dinner and mum & grandma reali like the volo cos itz so super duper light compared to our inglesina zippy.. so i hv decided to buy it regardless of the price.. though very heartpain the BP didnt go thru.. else can save $100!!




and after dinner we went for our movie @ 9pm (money no enough 2)!! together with qi, meiyi, lilian jie2, pei yi, grandma, ma & my 2 babies! super freezing cold though cos it has been raining the whole day! adri was sooooooooo KPO in the cinema but she's reali cute while watching the ads! she was waving her hands, bopping her head to the jingles and beckoning those on-screen characters to come.. ha! but luckily she fell asleep abt 1/2 hr into the show..

sun 24.08.08

only 4 babies incl adri in her gymboree class today.. it must be the weather.. hmm.. but it seems like she the leader of the pack with lesser pple.. more confidence since ther rest of the 3 babies hvnt started walking just like her! keke

and she's so cute! she was trying to reach for balls in the crawligator.. and cos she's so short, she decided to step on my thigh with her right foot and give herself a boost while holding on tight and lifting her left foot against the crawligator..
adri ah adri.. u ARE A GIRL leh! whahahaha



he ain't stupid, he's my dad


i have a love hate relationship with mummy.. wait.. er.. actuali i love her like she loves me!




i'm walking i'm walking... haha! fat hope..

darling adri flipping thru magazines!!

a beautiful weekend with ms notti wee

fri 08.08.08

discovered ms notti's 5th & 6th teeth sprouting out right next to her bunny teeth! and she finally knows how to do the correct "bye-bye" wave instead of the "twinkle twinkle" style!.. haha

sat 09.08.08

ms notti's 1st National Day Celebrations! haha.. though after watching the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony, NDP pales in comparison (or shd i say can't even compare??).. anyway, still happy birthday to the nation! love the fireworks which i can see from mummy's place and the black knights formation...







one very notti thing ms notti wee did.. mummy was carrying her.. 珮姨 wanted to carry her but she turned away.. i came by and opened my arms to her as well.. guess wat?? she used her right arm to shield herself from 珮姨's eyes and reached out for me.. WHAHAHAHA!! dunno wana laff or cry at her creative rejection ways.. ha!

sun 10.08.08

ms notti's 2nd class @ gymboree! she's reali fast today.. most likely due to the fact that we gave her some time to warm up by waking her up abit earlier b4 the class.. silly girl woke up in the middle of her nap on the way there, smiled at us. then started crying! cos she realised she is still sleepy and needs to sleep! i almost fainted.. haha..

ms notti's famous finger-pointing exercise - tracking the lone bubble which hasn't popped!! i couldnt stand it after awhile so daddy helped to pop it! hahaha... oops..






totally exhausted after the class and a bottle of milk


we meet up with mummy, grandma, pei姨, lilian jiejie & her mummy at LuLu Chinese restaurant at Raffles City.. such a cool name! nice food they serve!





okay, i have to admit though adri looks like me when i was a baby.. she also looks alot alot like her daddy!! no wonder her daddy dotes only on her now.. sob sob.. HAHAHA!


ms notti wee has gone one up on her finger-pointing "exercise" recently.. she has learnt to hold on to my shoulder tight with her wrist, pats it with her palm & fingers and uses the other hand to finger-point to what she wants.. reali makes me wonder if she's reali trying to give me a pat on the shoulder or she's just trying to get wat she wants!!! i vote for the latter... wat else to expect from ms notti wee??

happy 10 months old my darling ~ 08/08/2008

1st lesson @ gymboree FINALLY!

03/08/08 - 9:30am Gymboree Tanglin Mall

darling started her 1st lesson finally @ level 3 for 10-16mths after so long cos we finally had some time! .. wanted to put her in level 2 as per the lst trial class but thought thru it and tink she's more advanced so tried out level 3 to see if it suits her more..

was worried she might be too young for the class but after awhile, it seems like her motor & understanding skills are just fine for level 3!! but one thing's for sure, she needs to WARM up before she can do anything.. ha! cos she had her signature pout and almost cried a few times early into the class. 1: cos she just woke up after a nap.. 2: e unfamiliar environment.. ha! adri adri.. dun be 怕怕.. mummy & daddy here to sayang.. oh yes, she did her 怕怕 sign few times cos i scared her by calling out to her suddenly.. oops! sorie dear.. tot u noticed me.. haha..





see that handsome boy checking adri out? bet he must be tinking adri is a boy! whahaha!



seriously, u must be wondering wat is adri looking for?? she's looking at the BUBBLES!!

still looking at them..


dear dear, ur neck pain anot huh?


rule #1 of being a gd student: be attentive like every1 else even when u dun understand wat the teacher is talking about.. look at the kids! hahahaha...


bounce bounce bounce!


mummy's turn with adri!!


i'm tired.. can i dun push the airlog any further.. my arm hurts... =)


here! this ball's for u! tis sweet little girl is so sweet on adri! she offered the ball and hugged adri close to her.. haha..


more bubbles time.. yippie!!


time to say goodbye.. here's my version of the flying kiss! (except the hands get stuck in the mouth..)


daddy, let me show u how to ride this properly.. itz not a rocking horse actuali.. itz a ducati bike in disguise!!



finally out from the class and adri's still hungry after her milk! oh my.. she must have exerted lotsa energy! well, not to the extent that she didn't laugh enough at the small gymbo for daddy to buy for her... new toy! haha..


i love the class.. cos the most impt thing to me abt classes is dat adri must enjoy.. no stress on her academically and lotsa songs and friends for her to mix with so that she knows how to interact with pple... IQ is nothing without EQ...

and one last thing: this 45 mins are very precious to both mummy & daddy cos adri got no one to turn to except the both of us! so itz reali superb for bonding time.. oh.. how i love baby & baby.. as in fabian & adri.. muacks!!! =D i'm so looking forward to next week's class..
