The Golden Compass 05.12.2007

Today i got a pair of free movie tickets from my colleague. It was the show that i wanted to see 'The Golden Compass'. Actually wanted to bring Eugene for the movie, but time not allowed as it was too rush. Anyway, i was thinking maybe Eugene will ve scared by the fighting parts in the movie. But i do enjoy this movie...thanks to my colleague which i get to see for free and there also popcorn and coke together.

Standard Chartered Marathon 02.12.2007

Daddy took part in the Standard Chartered 42.195km Marathon. This is not the 1st time he took part in Marathon, but is the first time for the whole Marathon and he took about 5hrs plus to complete. Mummy and granny bring me to Marina Square there to wait for daddy. We were there much earlier so we went for some window shopping but most of the shops there are not yet open for business. So i have some fun in the kiddy rides (but no coins put in).

New Haircut 01.12.2007

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon!!! After taking my lunch, i suddenly have the urge to give Eugene a new haircut. Although it was my first attempt, i do have a little confidence that i was able to give Eugene a new look. I started off by cutting the hair behind, follow by around the ear there....although Eugene kept moving his head but i still manage to do it. After finishing, it feel it was really a great work of mine and i felt so happy.....but there is still somemore to be done. I feel the hair around his forehead is a bit too long so i decide to cut short . On no...what have i done???? It totally went out of what in my mind. I decided to try and see whether i can save what i done. Too bad! Now i need to bring him to the barber liao....

Upon reaching the Malay barber shop, there was 3 barbers busy cutting hair for adults and children. I waited and waited in anxiety, thought it was Eugene's turn but the barber called the other guy so i have to wait again thinking how come nobody want to attend to me. Then another one finished, but still no one attended to me until another barber finished. Then they asked me what i wanted, i showed them my artwork and they decided to shave Eugene bald.

This is how he look after the shaving:

Putting a cap for him will look nicer!

New Food

Recently, Eugene is eating this new multigrain rice for his meals during weekend which at first is not intention for him. It will be porridge for lunch and rice for dinner but sometimes i lazy so it will be porridge for the whole day. This multigrain rice is recommend by my colleague as she said it is quite nutritious compare to the normal white rice we eat. So i decided to give it a try. My colleague teach me to add rice to cook together if not surely not enough and it will finish up very fast.

It was only during when i was having my dinner and Eugene happen to take a mouthful of it and he wanted more that make me want to cook this for him. Afraid that he might not be able to digest all the grains so sometimes i will mix with normal rice.

Greenmax Fine Multi Grains

This is how it look after cooking with the brown rice.
Oh it may look like quite hard, but actually it can be soft if correct amount of water is used.

Eugene version of "Mambo" HAPPY FEET...!!!

Eugene likes the cartoon character of Mambo (not sure spell correctly) in the movie of Happy Feet. When the part of Mambo going to dance, he will prepare himself when he hear the music and then when the music end he will stop. Managed to capture this recently.

Sofa as what it seems to be

I always like to join contests for fun. So i did participated in the National Day Singpost contest and i won the consolation prize. One of the little prize inside was the 'Superman Returns' sofa...which i need to pump a lot of air so that it can become a sofa. This is how Eugene reacts to it..

A full blown 'sofa'....

Eugene 1st try sitting on it!

Wow....looks like he enjoy sitting on it leh :)

Mummy or Daddy More???

Oh so i inherit more of Mummy Genes.......Daddy will be jealous if he saw this!!!

At the playground 20.10.2007 Sunday

This morning i have a appointment with the dentist. So daddy(Ray) will have to take care of Eugene and this is the activities they have done when i went for my appointment. Ray was said he enjoyed playing so much that he doesn't want to go when i was done at the dentist there. He was crying when i went to find them....

Enjoy the video!

Eugene's New Table and Chair

Recently, there is this Redemption program "Allow Your Child to Grow Naturally with Mamil Gold' which interest me very much. So i decide to support this program. I decided to exchange for the 'Little Tikes Adjust N Draw Table' which i need to accumulate amount of $450 to redeem for the item.

However, to my disappointment when i went for the redemption, it was out-of-stock from Little Tikes and the organiser also not sure when the stock will come. So they substitute featured item with others of similar value and this is what i exchanged in the end. It doesn't seem as attractive as the adjust & draw table but i still decide to exchange as per redemption counter is only given 2 sets as i afraid i might not be able to exchange if i missed the opportunity for redemption.

Videos Time - Months ago...

Finally, manage to upload some old video clips of Eugene taken from my hamdphone.

At Ikea:

29 Sept 07 Sunny Morning...

A sunny morning, before we went to have breakfast this is one of the pictures take. He was playing with the Singapore flag that we got from NDP07. He was flagging it so it was not easy to get him to be still for us to take the pic. Finally, hb manage to take it after we settle him on the bench.

On the way for breakfast...

Manage to take pictures of Eugene while on the way for breakfast at Rivervale Mall :

Genting Trip 13 - 15 Sept

I was really feeling excited and worried at the same time as this time round we are bringing Eugene for holidays for the first time. I am excited because this is the first time and worried is because dun know how he will behave in the coach. Just pray that everything will be fine!!!

12th Sept 07
We stayed at my parents-in-law's house (Aljunied) as we need to wake up early to go and take the coach at Golden Mile Complex at 7.30am so we need to reach there at 7am to take our tickets.

13th Sept 07
We wake up at around 5.30am to prepare ourselves and also to get Eugene prepared. It's quite cold so we did not give Eugene a bath only wipe for him and changed him into a set of new clothes. Reach Golden Mile Complex at 6plus and hb went to get the tickets. We set off at 7.30am and reach Genting at 2.30pm. Along the journey, Eugene is consider quite obedient except that he like to get down from the seat (he sit on my lap) and over to his daddy's seat.

We finally got our room's key...immediately when we went into the room i helped Eugene to change his diaper becos he poo! After changing we went out to survey the place. We then had our dinner and then went to watch the movie "881". To us, it was really a very nice show. We laughed and also cried while watching the movie. After we return to our room while my PIL went to the casino.




14th Sept 07
Early in the morning, we have a free buffet breakfast. Then we went around viewing and then went to my fave Cantonese restaurant for lunch and had my favourite dessert which Eugene get to taste it too. He also likes it! After the lunch, we went to arcade to play. Wanted to win some soft toy for Eugene but dun have the luck and the horrible thing happen is i lost his bolster. So in the end we bought a new set at one of the shops there if not dun know how Eugene is going to sleep that night.

Then after dinner, hb and PIL went to catch a night movie while i and Eugene went back to hotel to rest.

15th Sept 07
Finally the last day at Genting and we going to take the coach again at 3.30pm. Decided to bring Eugene for some rides.


Some of the pics taken at Genting:

Cranky ......

Recently these few nights, Eugene been very cranky during middle of the night. I dunno what happened, he just start to cry and toss here and there on the mattress. Sometimes he ok when i put back his pacifier and let him hug his bolster. However, last night anything also can't make him stop crying. Maybe because his bolster doesn't have his smell anymore which he like to hug and smell at it whenever he have that in his arms.

His bolster which we call 'Smelly' in Chinese is really very smelly, a kind of smell which some people might can't stand but is the same smell (my bolster) which i have when i was small too. I really afraid is this reason as the one at my MIL's place also been taken to wash last nite.

Falling Sick - 01.09.2007

Saturday morning, a nice and exciting day to start with as going to bring Eugene to airport to send my mother off to Korea. However, when Eugene woke up he started to have a bit of coughing which we didn't took it to our mind! Hubby touched him in the mid-morning and said he seemed like a bit warm. Took his temp, it was normal.

We set-off to the airport at about 6pm and reached there 6plus. After reaching Terminal 1, we went to the canteen to have our dinner before we to the View Mall. Eugene was quite excited when we were at the View Mall when he saw the water fountain near the glass door there. There he ran after a few older kids when they ran past him. I could feel that he was so HAPPY!

We waited for quite sometime before my mum, dad and brother reached the airport....by that time, Eugene already very tired and had falled asleep! But he woke up soon when i saw my parents and bro....however he started to be cranky due to tiredness and cough. Once again we feel that his body and forehead is warm. So after sending my mum off, we headed straight home. Once reaching home, we gave him the fever med and sponge on him cos his temp is nearly 39c. He kept fussing and crying the whole night and rejected taking his milk. We could only on his fav VCD to stop his crying.

In the end, he finally slept at 4 plus in the morning.

Sunday Morning ~ 12.08.2007

After taking his morning bath, Eugene want me to on his favourite cartoon "Pororo". Few months ago , he still need me to be by his side whenever he watch this cartoon. But now he can sit by himself and finish watching the whole VCD alone...so this let me have some time to do my own things!

When i tried to cover his sight off the TV, this is what he do!

Continue watching even not interested in his fav Baby Bites....!!!

11.08.2007 ~ Saturday afternoon - Shopping at Tampines Ikea

Eugene now know how to use a fork although still not very good at it. This is taken when he is having his pancakes as his lunch today.

Not satisfied with his own bowl, he decided to take mine instead...

Asking Daddy to get ready! At Ikea: Nowsaday, it is really very difficult to control his movements when we go out. He doesn't want us to carry him as he wanted to come down and walk/run by himself. Sometimes biscuits can help, but once he finished his biscuits he will want to come down again...making us so tired running after him! This pic show him playing at one of the children's area.

Outing At The Zoo

A Sunny Saturday afternoon, we have a pair of free Zoo tickets from courtesy of hb's colleague. Eugene fall asleep on the way to the Zoo and while waiting for hb to park his car, both me and Eugene waited at the Zoo entrance!

This is the first photos we took at the Zoo when he woke up!!!

Figuring out what this thing by poking on the eyes...

Finally figure out what is this the horrible creatures....hahahaaaa....Frightened :P

Trying my best to get Eugene take a pic when he struggling to come down!
Oh, the lazy white tigers......After watching the elephants performance, time for some water!

After covered most of the parts in the Zoo, we had our dinner at KFC while Eugene takes his nap in the stroller. After he woke up, we gave him a change of clothings cos he sweat a lot! Before we end our visit to the Zoo, we took a pic with the giraffes.



Lastly we visited the souvenir shop and Eugene fall in love with animal soft toys. Some of the pics taken:

END OF OUR JOURNEY TO THE ZOO!!!
