Grandpa's Birthday cum Ashlynn's 17th Month Celebration 15 Jul '09

Had a simple celebration of KFC home-delivery and cake-cutting at the grandparents' place. She enjoyed blowing out the candle so we lit it up a few times to let her blow it.

She gave shiok face upon trying the durian cake.

Shoppinggg! 12 Jul '09

We went dinner with granny and grandpa to celebrate grandpa's birthday. Ashlynn slept throughtout dinner so we had a "peaceful" dinner. After dinner, we shopped for awhile before she woke up. We went to Yoshinoya to feed her dinner while daddy grabbed a drink there. Very hard to feed her these days...

After that, we went to John Little to take a look at their clearance sale. Ashlynn seemed to enjoy looking at clothes and even know how to pick her preference.

Daddy let her try on the sunglasses. Usually, she will attempt to remove it. This time round, she actually wore it for quite awhile before she took it off.
Grumpy face
She spent the longest time at this rack.





She finally looked up at the camera.

New Term at LNT 11 Jul '09

As usual, our weekends are packed with activities. She attended her first lesson at LNT Tampines branch. I think she was not so used to the new environment and teacher, so she didn't really danced during the singing session, very unlike her usual self. Teacher-wise, I thought I still prefer the one at Parkway branch. But it's ok, I guess everyone just needs some warm-up :)
While Ashlynn was attending the lesson, daddy was sent off to do grocery shopping in order to save time.

After the class, we zoomed off to ah ma's place. We have told ah ma to cook some rice for her as we decided not to prepare her porridge. Ah ma made soup and steamed some fish and tofu with minced meat specially for her. In the end, she only ate a few mouthful. We had to topped up her dinner with a milk feed. Sigh... We stayed awhile, showered her and off we went to T3 to meet Wendi and family for a kopi session.

Ashlynn was pretty cooperative, seated and self-entertained during the meet-up, getting restless only towards the end as I think she was sleepy. So we bidded everyone farewell and even pre-dated them to visit the Jurong Birdpark/Zoo next weekend if we all can adjust our plans. Looking forward to that...


Taken at ah ma's house. She seemed to enjoy sitting in the bath tub to play.
Getting ready to go out. I asked her "You want to tie hair?" She nodded her hair and guai guai let me tie. Didn't pull it out also.

Pics from the Weekend 05 - 06 Jul '09

Just some random pics which I didn't get to upload over the weekend.

She enjoyed carrying the bag which daddy bought her.


Wow, fierce look.


She must be wondering why I kept on stalking her with a camera.


"Hey, stop it ok?"


Decided to escape from stalker.


Later in the night at Tampines 1.


Trying to coax her to do her "xiao xi xi".


Showing the edmame beans which she was eating. So uncouth of her. Taken at Akashi Restaurant at Vivocity. This was the first time I didn't prepare her porridge dinner as I was tired of throwing away the rejected food. So we decided to give her whatever we were eating. So she ate rice with salty miso soup (opps! never mind lah. jiu jiu yi ci. that's what daddy said), tofu, chawanmushi and some fish. She didn't eat much though.


What's so special about the next 2 pics? They were taken by Ashlynn. First one I guided her, second one was taken on her own, so it was off-focused. But still not too bad!




After Vivocity, we went to join my students in a bbq session. Only stayed for awhile as daddy was too shy to join in so he waited in the car.

Happy Youth Day 06 Jul '09

It started as an unpleasant day for all of us as Ashlynn refused to finish her brekkie, kept spitting out her cereal and dirtying her gai gai clothes. We were going to bring her for her 2nd peumoccocal jab at Dr Ong's. In the end, bad-tempered mummy gave her a huge scolding and spanking. Daddy kenna scolding too. Ashlynn cried so pitifully until the mucous also flowed out from her nose. Lucky she still wanted me to carry after her crying episode.

Our mood improved tremendously once we got on the car as we started chatting and getting her to identify objects. We shopped around while waiting for her turn. She cried abit during the jab, but definitely much better than when she was taking her MMR jab. Dr Ong asked how many teeth she had and I told him 16. He said "wow! 4 more to go". At the clinic, Ashlynn also played with 2 jie jies. They did not understand what Ashlynn was saying and even asked her "can you speak english?" haha... It was very comical to see how kids play and interact. They were also curious why Ashlynn had to see the doctor and kept asking Dr Ong what was wrong with Ashlynn.

After the jab, we went to the foodcourt to have our lunch. Lucky she was still quite cooperative in taking her porridge compared to the past few days. Today I added thinly sliced long beans for a change. After we all had our fill, we proceeded to our planned destination - Marina Barrage. She fell asleep on the car after missing her morning nap. When we got there, she was still sleeping. So daddy and I went around to take pictures. We were planning to let her play at the water playground there but it turned out to be more like a water feature rather than waterplay. So we decided to give it a miss. We found out that she woke up when we saw that her eyes were opened through her reflection in the lift. We went to explore the gallery which was quite an eye-opener. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Daddy was very proud as he was the one who suggested going there. Many times I rejected the place as I thought it was boring. I wanted to go there because I thought Ashlynn could play with water. Turned out it was an interesting place even without playing at the water playground.

How I wish we have more time to go for outings like this.

Haha... She was still sleeping while we took this family shot.


Big-head shot


Scary pic


She simply refused to look into the camera.




Kenna forced by daddy to be kissed. Look at her sad face.


Angry look


Prefers mummy? Look, she's smiling!


Exploring the place.





haha... Not-so-happy-look again.


Curious girl


She likes to go "Waaahhhh!" whenever something catches her attention.


Very amazed by what she saw.





Kenna forced to do the "act cute" pose.


Still not looking at the camera. Sigh...




The following pics were taken for fun at the gallery.
