The Princess celebrated her 5th Birthday bright and early with her classmates last Friday. The teachers had reminded us that we only have a 15 minutes slot (from 8.15am to 8.30am) for the celebration so we kept it a very simple affair. Dana picked a Lilo & Stitch cake, we packed some lovely goodie bags (with a storybook and some snacks in it) and off we went to school. The children were delighted to see Dana as she had been absent from school due to a bout of fever and cold. Marissa … [Read more...]

Gems for our Gem – A Rite of Passage…
Saturday morning, we brought the Princess to have her ears pierced. She had requested for it since last year but we procrastinated for few reasons, chief of it was the fear of infection if we did not administer the proper after-care and also, we wanted to search for a place whose staff are trained to work specifically with young children and whose equipment are properly sanitized. With the advice of some Mommy friends who have daughters, I booked an appointment with a lady paediatrician who … [Read more...]
My first Ezy-link Card!
Kids are fascinated with all manner of public transport: buses, trains and MRT. Ever since the Princess has outgrown the height limit of 90cm, she can no longer qualify for free travel on public transport. Today, I finally had the time to bring her to apply for her very own Child Concession Ezy-link Card. She was extremely delighted to have a card to call her own (a big step towards being a big girl now!), but for Mommy & Daddy, we secretly wish she will remain a baby forever...The card … [Read more...]

Thankful Tuesday: Revisiting Dana’s Infancy to Toddlerhood
It's Tuesday and I'm thankful for the relaxing free & easy holiday enjoying the sights & sounds in Taiwan, where we intentionally slowed down our pace, threw our agendas to the wind and simply enjoyed each other's company as a family.As parents, we always lament that our children are growing up way too fast and we wish we can slow the clock so they'll stay forever cute and innocent...but it was only when we chanced upon this video (stored in our old PC hard disk) few days ago that it … [Read more...]
A Fabulous 4th Birthday at Amazonia!
We hadn't planned on holding a party for Dana's 4th birthday this year. But the Princess had attended 2 parties previously at Amazonia and endearingly requested that she would love to have her 4th Birthday Bash at The Amazonia. Being the typical indulgent parents with no heart to disappoint our daughter, we diligently paid a visit to Great World City one weekend, signed up as an Amazonia Member and before hubby knew it, plans were under way for a Fab 4th Birthday … [Read more...]
A Fabulous 4th Birthday (In School)!
We celebrated Dana's 4th Birthday in grand style this year. Kicking off her celebrations was a simple party in her kindergarten. Before April dawned, Mommy has hatched an ambitious plan to bake Dana a gorgeous Rainbow Cake similar to the one I saw on this website. This was no easy undertaking and Mommy spent many nights after work making sure all required ingredients are purchased and laid out. The week leading to the class party was filled with intensive baking and … [Read more...]
