Jareth's vaccination
He seemed to know it was needle time, constantly pulling my sleeve before being poked on his juicy thigh

Farms!
Another type of stingray |
We ended our catch with about ten fishes, and brought them home. The catch was $5 for half hour, includes a tank to bring the fishes home.
The challenge |
Her tank of fish |
Quenching my thirst, not Jare's |
Beautiful blue parrot |
Braved herself for only one feed |
She loves feeding the rabbits |
Our final stop was answering the call of our tummies.
3 dishes, 1 soup |

When you have 2
Each box at $24.45 |

Endless buys
Pupsik pouch |
Baby Bjorn carrier |
MPJ Nursing cover |
This really is one of my best investment. It allows me to nurse almost anytime and anywhere, without having to panic about getting to a nursing room. It's really easy to use, lug it over shoulders, hide the baby in and milk. A must have item in my bag if I'm bringing him out.
Dwinguler play mat |
I wanted to get this mat for the longest time ever, since I had Jazz. I'll never forget how Jazz fell from bed when she was 6 months young. I neglected her growth, left her on the bed, went for my shower and she fell. From then, it's always floor level for all activities. This play mat is serving us very well. The Js play, milk and even sleep on it. The parents nap on it as well.
Bumbo seat |
Mambo baby pool |
Perhaps I should have a number 3 to maximize the usage of these items' and make my spending worth.

Explore English
In Chinese, we are clear in using only the modern Chinese writing in our local context, no qualms about it. Whereas in English, we are still very much mixed up between the British and the US lingo. In school, we adopt the British style of learning, we spell the British way. Yet in media, we are very much influenced by the US - Movies, cartoons, educational programmes, magazines, books and even software like microsoft word, corrects English to its US style. I'm not sure about you, but I'm always confused by the different spelling of UK and US English. Although, in an examination, one shouldn't be penalised when colour is spelt as color, or organise as organize. It's all about being consistent with the style adopted.
- three
- healthy
- teeth
- tuition (too-i-shion)
- salmon (sa-mon, a silent 'l')
- calender (care-len-der)
- sachet (sa shey, a french word, so kind of tricky)
- photography (fur-tog-rur-phy)
- wednesday (wenz-day, as a two syllabus word, not three)
English takes a whole life time to explore, we stop learning and writing Chinese once we're out of school. But English is never neglected, it's just as important in our everyday life. A well spoken and written person, impresses much. Everyone can speak and write, but not many can speak and write Good English, it really is a skill to master. Some say English is crazy, just like how you can't find egg in eggplant, ham in hamburger or apple in pineapple.
With that to conclude, I must admit that singlish is still very much practiced at home. I don't foresee ourselves being able to doing away with the la, lor and lei. So see la, how speak good English. Never mind, this makes us unique as Singaporeans, just get the pronunciations, grammar and tenses right, I think we're good enough.

Trip to underwater world
Foot reflexology with the fishes that eat dead skin. Jazz didn't dare to try. |
With huge m & m |
Underwater world has many visitors during weekends, both tourists and locals. The entrance is free for kids below 3, but pricey for the adults. Only good to go as an eye opener for the little ones in a blue blue moon. Nothing much to be impressed about, I feel.
I was pretty ambitious about conquering the different attractions in Sentosa that day, but my body wasn't up to it. I was much exhausted just after these few activities.
See what I meant:
And with such signs, it means home... |
Well, at least the promise to the little girl is fulfilled. What freaks
us out is when she says, "I want to go to the Underwater world again."

Messy hair
Some months ago, her hair was still manageable |
Recently:
Stray there |
Stray here |
It's so messy! |
I wonder if there's hair re-bonding for kids. These days, she goes to school with her hair tied up, and in school, teachers would tie her hair too. At least it tidies the crown of her head. I hope they'll grow to be beautifully long and neat on her.
Jare's Eyes!
Eyes that sparkle |
I don't recall Jazz having those huge eyes. Here's what I've dug out for comparison:
That's Jazz at 4 months old. |
Jazz was chubbier than Jare |
I don't really see those double eyelids in them, or maybe not yet. They'll be beautiful in my eyes anyway. I just wonder how are they are gonna look like when they grow older... years will tell.

Jazz no cute
At times, I master the art of ignorance. In midst of these tantrums, I kept sane and whipped out my camera to snap, for keepsakes too:
She insisted that I read her books at her 'NOW' |
