Chinese New Year is coming!!

In less than a month, here comes the Chinese New Year... Eversince i have Xinru, every Chinese New year it does not really impact my if i do not have a lot of new clothing... hehe just 1,2 piece is enough cause all the concentration is on her.. hehe i think that is the common thing among mothers.. hehe

Last Friday when i was on leave, we went to Taka and my mom bought Xinru 1 dress which has those oriental look but not really very 'chee na' kind.. and another top that is very nice i feel.. hehe other than those 2 piece, Lena has got for Xinru a Japanese 'he fu' that i have intend to let her wear during Chinese New Year too...hehe that i will upload later cause i did not take pictures.. The rest of the New Year clothing is from my online sprees from Old Navy, Ralph Laren and Gap and some that was bought last year and that she still can't wear so bring forward to this year... TRUST ME!!! there are a lot!!! haha..... One of my online buddy will have the same thinking as me that their clothing is never ending... :P

Christmas 2008

On the actual day of Christmas, we were home the whole day because we were just too tired to go out... hehe
Xinru is always anxious about her present... All her presents are opened even before Christmas... :)
That day when Ray sent us the courier from Aunty Stella, she opened the present up at once... When she opened up the present, she was so happy.... she loves the present and started to do the stamping and colour.... Thanks Stella for the present for Xinru and Me... :)

26 Dec 2008:
Morning came and after changing Xinru, cause i have planned to bring her down to town to buy her shoes... Mom and sis came with us after the breakfast together with bro....
End up the shoe that i wanna get is no longer there... so change to Reebok sports shoe... as its getting nearer to Xinru's nap time so we have to chop chop and got the size that she wants and went back home....

After her nap, it's time to go to Lena's place.... We were out of the house late so end up got to take a cab over.... Xinru asked about the presents that i bring over to Lena's place and i told her that it's for gift exchange... after the makan session at Lena's house, i started the ball rolling for the gift exchange.... I got Xinru to give all the present out and when the present are all given out, Xinru turned and ask me 'Mummy, where's my present??' hahaha All people broke out laughing..... and the rest of them started giving out the present.... Before we reached, i told Xinru that she can only go back home to open her present... and after she got all her presents... She turned to me and tell me 'Mummy, i want to go home....' hehe as she waited, she started askin to open up one present.... she first opened up the present from Aunty Ivy, Aunty Ivy got her a sequence puzzle... Then a while later, she opened up another from Aunty Annie... Aunty Annie gave her a set of Japanese Playdoh... After that, she started to really bugged me to go home and i left Lena's place around 9plus and reached home near to 10pm...
I think Xinru was tired... hehe she did not asked to play the toys and went to bed... hehe...

The next day when she wake up, she realised that she has not opened Aunty Lena's present to her... It was a Japanese dress... its so nice... hehe think i will let her wear it on LNY... :)

Thanks all for the presents for Xinru and me once again!!!

Christmas Eve

This year's Christmas Eve is slightly different from the past few years eversince Xinru joined the family.. :)

I was kind of surprised when hb mentioned about going for a makan session on the Eve.. hehe Well... since he mentioned, i think we shall go.. hehe
We decided on Coca Steamboat for dinner after Xinru wakes up from her nap... Sometimes i can't help having the tots that whenever we wants to bring Xinru out, it will always rain... haha But the rain did not stop us... hehe What's the big deal... Umbrella lor... hehe

We reached Coca @ International Building at 745pm.... We were 15mins late and they actually remove my name without giving me a call to check if we are going... Well... doesn't matter.... Anway, we got our table and have a good dinner... :)

After our dinner, we started walkin down Orchard Road while the floor are wet and there are SO MANY PPL!!! hehe.... people taking photos... people looking at lights.... people playing with the snow spray.... all people are enjoying this festival!!! :)

After some photos taking and walking, we waited at the bus stop for an hour for the express bus but it did not come.. so ended up taking a cab home... :)

Not-so-lucky Day

Hmmm 28 Dec 2008 was a unlucky day for Xinru... My poor little girl just got hurt in many ways...

1. In the morning when she woke up, she asked to push her toddler bed beside my bed, after pushing it beside my bed, she started to play and kneel on the edge of her bed which is inbetween my bed and hers... she bended a little the 2 gave way..... 'POK' one of her knee landed on the floor with a 'KOK' sound.... she cried... it was pain.. cause of the loudness of the knock sound, you will know how hard the bang is...

2. In the afternoon before she took her nap... She insisted her daddy to come into the room as well *dunno since when she and her daddy is on 'good term', everything daddy must be involved. She lied on the edge of her bed which is near to the door... and finally when daddy agrees to come in, she tried to close the door using her hands and she neglect that her feet is just near to the door, she close the door and she jumped up.... i knew what happen and it is real painful.... and i went over to carry her to the bed...The door cut her 3 little toes at the back and the skin came up... GOSH!!! that was real pain.... She cried bitterly....

3. In the evening, i was getting her clothing to get her to take her bath, she was sitting on the floor beside the drawers and i always remind her to be careful of the edge of the plastic drawers as there are some areas which can cut... I reminded her a while ago and when she stands up, GOSH!! she cried and the next thing i saw is a near to 2cm cut on her left side of her nose and it cuts on the outer postion near the openings of the nose... It was bleeding.... OH MINE!! that's painful...... and the cut cuts my heart.... but luckily it did not touch her eyes.....

after she stopped crying... i managed to get her to laugh by pressing the tissue on her opening of the nose that and it got stuck for a while... hehe That's HER!!! That's MY BABY!!! she will always be calmed down in a short while after hurting herself....

I told her that she has to be careful when she is there and her daddy is sure gonna scold me.... And tis little notti girl in return tell me 'Oh... daddy going to scold you... i ask daddy scold you... ' then i ask her 'why? you are the one who is not careful and i did ask you to watch out' then i ask her to let me take a pic and i mms over to hb...

Hb called me and i ask Xinru to answer... and she happily tell her daddy as if its was my fault for her nose cut... but all in a laughing tone la... hehe... :P

13122008 aka Day 2 of Chalet:

We did not bring Xinru to the childcare as we have the coupon to the Wild Wild Wet and Theme Park so i decided to bring her down to the chalet in the late morning... When we reached there, she was excited as she saw THE SWIMMING POOL!!! This little girl of mine simply loves SWIMMING and water.... She is just a water baby....
She kept bugging me to bring her for a swim and hb was kind of against it as it is 1+ in the afternoon... can u imagine the sun.... OMG.... A while later, i saw that it was not that hot, i got her to change and bring her down for swim when the Mr Sun came out bright again... Well.. if i am to tell her to go back, she will sure fuss like there is no tomorrow.... So we just go ahead while daddy stays under the shade...

She has tons of fun and enjoyment in the pool... My cousin, Alex who dotes her also accompany to play with her in the pool and the poor us have to be under the sun, above the water cause we are in the baby pool and we both have to get burnt!!! haha

Finally got her up after 45mins to 1hr of pool fun... Although she hasn't got enough but i promise her that i will bring her for swim again the next day....
Got her up, bath her and gave her milk and bring her up for a nap... Phew... once she has her nap, PHEW its my rest time!! haha.... i rest a while and kaypoh around in the chalet and when she woke up, its time for BBQ... and by then some of the other cousin and aunty have arrived.... :)
It was a great and fun time and we stayed there till near to 11pm when Xinru started asking to go home.. and my cousin, Alex sent us back and when we reached home, Xinru went into LalaLand..... )

14122008 aka Day 3 of chalet:

In the morning after breakfast, we went up to the chalet... Since it was not so much of people coming down and it is like raining, we drop the idea of going for swim.. Instead, we went to the Theme Park....
She has fun there but not as much as in the Pool.. hehe.... After the Theme Park, we went back and let Xinru nap and when she got up, we went to the pool again. This time round all of us were in the pool and Xinru has so much fun... When i got Xinru to get out from the pool, she started her tanturms... insisted that she wants to continue her swim and end up i got no choice but to carried her back to the chalet cause it was quite windy and she is already shivering....
Back at the chalet, she continue her fuss and ended up, i was so angry with her cause she simply don't co-operate and keep wanting her daddy who is bathing....
After packing and clearing up, we headed for dinner at my cousin's, Stanley's aunty's stores and afterwhich we went back home.... :)

Overall, the chalet was a great one... :)
