Hubby's on business trip to Tokyo

Hubby flies to Tokyo today for a short business trip. Managed to call for the Toyota Wish red Transcab to send him to T3. Asked him to buy Hakata ramen for me. To me, it tastes better than the Yoshimaru ramen in Holland Village.

Fil would be discharged tomorrow morning. I would bring him back before going to fetch Alden from class. Luckily, my mum be around to help take care of Amber while I am out doing so.

Amber would be starting Growing Up Gifted classes soon next month. Finally, she got the slot for Teacher Aida's class.

Successful Operation

Fil's open heart bypass surgery went smooth on 20 May from 1.30pm to 5pm. He would be transferred out of ICU to 1 bedded room on 22 May, Friday in the afternoon. So we would visit him with both children, mil and my mum.

Gingerbread Man Musical in Alliance Franciase

The Gingerbread Man musical follows the book version pretty closely except some parts have been modified. For example, the animals that wish to eat up the ginerbread man turned out to be a duck, cat and dog :-) but in the end, like in the book, it was the fox that ate him up while helping him to cross the river. Some comedy injected. I find the old woman acted a tad too fierce though. The old man was funny!

I bought a real gingerbread man which Alden ate some and took photos of it! Also bought gingerbread man T-shirts for him and myself. Alden had enjoyed the show.....he wants more shows but not scary ones he said. The witch in the Tooth Fairy musical was too scary for him. He did not cry then (lucky for me else I have to get out of the theatre) but the impression of the witch was sure deep. Ironically, deeper than the Tooth Fairy herself who was the main lead!!

Photo with Daisy in Enchanted Garden

Here's a backdated photo of us in Hong Kong Disneyland. Alden likes some rides such as It's a Small World and Pooh Bear, Carousel, Flying Dumbo...he is fearful of Space Mountain. Alden was so happy in this photo. He prefers Donald Duck over Mickey. It was a wonderful breakfast spread in Enchanted Garden in Disneyland.

Till today, at times, he would suddenly tell us about characters or describe some of the rides in Disneyland that he had experienced. I am glad that I have helped him to store away some wonderful childhood memories. It's worth my pain (can feel my knee cartilage reduced) of having to carry him so much during our trip there. I love growing up with my children. Time is always racing with them around. I have planned more activities for Alden such as Story Telling for the coming Jun holidays, Gingerbread Man musical in Alliance Franciase in May, Emperor's New Clothes Performance (Chinese) in July, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Baking Banana and Peach Tart Class in Sep!!

Unexpected Heart Attack

Father in law had a heart attack on 8 May 2009 early morning. Sent to TTSH after clinic diagnosis. Hospitalised for 4 days. Angiogram results indicated need for bypass surgery. Found a suitable heart surgeon via their music teacher's recommendation. Admission to Mt E. on 19 May and operatioin be done at 20 May 2009.

Alden loves to draw

This is how my mummy looks like after her hair perm! How do you rate my drawing? Hee!!

Alden loves to draw nowadays. Typical of a child his age. Would send him for art class but he has a criterion. He does not want to attend art class in the evening. Maybe his creative juices run low in the evenings...hahaha!

Amber at 9 months old

This is Amber at 9 months old.

She has started to crawl and show her temper by jumping and simultaneously making the fierce "hmm..hmmm....hmmm" sounds. She has 2 lower teeth and often flashes her megawatt smile. She is taking 2 solid meals (lunch and dinner). She's quite an easy baby to care for. My lovely princess, may you grow up beautiful and intelligent!
