Chinese New Year 2014

Reunion dinner this year was different. Nai Nai decided we should eat out instead. So we reserved a table at Golden Sand Restaurant at Changi Beach Club, as recommended by one of Nai Nai's friend. 

Yee Sok Steve got back from Dubai in time for dinner and also to spend the next 9 days with us. Food was not too bad but I was so tired I slept through the first half of dinner. When I woke up, dinner was almost over but I still got to eat some pretty good food. 

After dinner, we decided to check out the beach area outside the restaurant. Unfortunately the boardwalk was closed to the public so we just hung around the pool area. We took some nice family pictures and had lots of fun with the monster face shots. 


The next day, we woke up and Daddy and Mummy showered us with nice wishes and also an ang pow each. We then had steamboat breakfast and changed up for our visitation. We went to Bishan for some more breakfast with Ma Ma and Gong Gong, then headed to AMK to a grand aunty's house for more food. I guess it is all about eating during Chinese New Year. At about 5.30pm, we headed to 3rd grand aunty's house to meet up with more aunties, uncles and cousins. 

East Coast Beach

After Berries today, Daddy and Mummy decided to bring us to the beach near our place. We haven't been there since we played there with Eva and Vera about a month back. At first it was quite cloudy and we were having fun playing sand. Then it got quite sunny and hot and so we decided to move towards the shade.

It was fun playing sand and building sand castles with Gor Gor Reuben. We dug holes in the sand and buried Mummy's legs in there. We also picked sea shells which we will use for our art and crafts. We were there for almost 2 hours and had to leave for dinner at home. On the way back, we bumped into Ballen and his parents. It was kinda strange seeing my classmates outside of school. We were kinda shy and didn't really want to talk much.

CNY Celebration

Eton Schoolhouse celebrates Chinese New Year today. Mummy and Daddy took the morning off from work to join in the celebration with me. They were suppose to have breakfast at Kampong Arang Wanton Mee before heading to the school but we wasted much time waiting for a parking lot so we ended up without any breakfast.

When we got there, the teachers were performing a dance piece to the tune of some Chinese New Year song. They also performed a skit showing what happens during a CNY preparation and celebration because we have many foreign students with us so they might know what we do during CNY. There was also a chinese calligraphy station but Zillie and I ended up just painting the whole piece of paper black. Zillie is my best friend in school. We have this love hate relationship because we will fight over "mummy" and "mummu" but at the end of the day we will be playing happily together. 

Mummy and Daddy left for work after our snacks. I wasn't too happy with that but I guess they couldn't stay with me the whole day. I guess I will play with Zillie till they show up again.

Junior Gymnastic

Mummy wanted to enroll me into this gymnastic class and thought I should have a trial class to check it out. The gym is a lot bigger than the other gyms I have been too. Actually this is an actual gym located inside Hwa Chong Junior College. There are many kids who attend the gym classes there over the weekend. Mummy got to know about it through Aunty Linna who brings Amelia, Sarah and Hannah there for the gym classes.

From the moment Mummy dropped me off with the trainer (Aunty Jenny), I started crying as I am not too fond of being left alone with a stranger. Although she was very nice and tried to get me to participate in the activities with the other kids, I continued crying. I did try out some of the activities like tumble roll and walking on the beam and thought they were quite fun. After the session, as we were walking back to the car, Mummy asked if I had fun. I said "YES!" She asked if  I wanted to come back again and i also said "YES!" I guess she will enroll me in the class since I liked it so much.
