Meimei Bought Me A Man-Bag

Yes, you read that right. A Man-Bag. A Jujube Man-Bag. How macho :-P She wants to replace my current green sling bag which she finds ugly and worn. Ha!

Climbing Higher And Higher

OO loves to climb ... and she is fearless at it. On one hand I'm worried about her getting hurt. On the other I don't wish to constraint her such that she isn't willing to explore physical boundaries.

Out Comes The Hand-Me-Down Baby Toys

It's about time we spice up YY's world. Since he is able to sit steadily, we took it as an indication that he is ready to play with baby toys and not just the teether. Good intentions but he didn't seem to be enjoying them. Hmmmm ....

The Naughty Tongue Look

I think YY has perfected the naughty tongue look. Hahah what would you do with such a cheeky face?

Sushi Galore @Sushi Goshin Changi Terminal 4

It looks so good that I had to post a picture. Akashi aka Sushi Goshin seldom fails to impress with their sushi.

YY @ 7 months - Sitting Independently

YY has just started to sit independently over the past week. He's still wobbly so we need to keep a watchful eye on his surroundings so he doesn't topple and injure himself.

"I can fly, I can touch the sky ..."

Starting to sit, still unsure of this new sensation

Playtime on the mat

我就是不放，你能整样 😤

我就是不睡，你能整样😝

King of Pout

One of YY's favourite game ... crushing paper

The Quest

It's another of those retro RPGs that I love to play and reminisce the childhood years. The game has the same feel as the old Might and Magic and Eye of Beholder.

It's been keeping me up late through the nights for the past 2 weeks. Probably going to come to the end of the story soon but thankfully they have many expansions for gamers to continue questing.

Hillview Trip - Sep 2018 #1

Meimei made a brilliant suggestion on this week's trip to Hillview. On prior trips there always has to be someone to carry YY and it usually fell to Siti to watch him constantly. And because she was on YY, we have to take turns watching over OO as she runs amok around the house with Gareth.

So we brought the baby activity chair to Hillview. Hey, we have the boot space so why not? :-) It turn out to be the key catalyst in creating more interaction time for YY and Ah-Gong Ah-Ma. On previous trips Laoba would simply smile and carry him for a couple of minutes before passing him back to us.

With YY comfortably seated in the activity chair, Laoba could casually play with him. Total win. This is a must-bring for all future trips to Hillview.

As for OO, she was having a ball of a time with the water play and scooter. She was dashing and zooming around the house with Gareth. They fight over the toys constantly but interestingly are very fond of the company. Kids ... Hahhaa.

Itacho @Bedok Mall

My previous experiences with Itacho were limited and didn't stand out. There was the gathering several years ago at Tampines Itacho with Nua group. Then there is the one time many years ago where we had it at Changi T3. That experience was rather unpleasant with the mediocre service and sub-par quality of the food.

So when Meimei suggest we have Itacho at Bedok Mall for lunch a few weeks ago I was a little hesitant. Well it's been quite a while since I had it so I wasn't giving an outright no.

It seems Meimei has tried it so she wanted to share the good stuff with me. I still find the normal menu items over priced but the promotion menus have some very good deals. Like the limited to 2 a pax Roasted Salmon with Soya Sauce and Roasted Salmon with Cod Fish Cavier Mayo. Perfect appetisers before we dig into the Aburi Seafood Don and Roast Salmon with Tenkasu Roll.

I was happy the experience turned out very pleasant and so we are back again today. I think this could start to be our regular go-to Japanese restaurant.

Hillview Trip - Aug 2018

We made several trips to Hillview this month and OO loves it every time. Besides all the playtime with Gareth, the other highlight of these trips are the fruit snacks that Laoba and Laoma will serve out for her.

The flavour of the month are cherries. Sweet succulent cherries. Bane of white tees but oh so refreshing and flavourful.

And as usual, OO's Yeeyee and Nyama were going to spoil her after the pictures of her enjoying the cherries. They went to Plaza Singapura Cold Storage to grab more on the weekends for her. *Jealous.

New Sets Of Teethers

YY has been pulling everything he can get his hands on into his mouth. He is a chewer and all the teethers we have bought for OO are already worn and dirty. The perfect excuse to get him new ones! Plus we have been regular feedbacks that we are 篇心 and didn't get as many toys for him as we did for OO. That's not entirely true ... but ok we'll try to do better.

Introducing the new set of teethers! These looks so much more fancier than the ones OO had.

It didn't take long for YY to dig into them. He would 'jump with joy' whenever we come to him with the teethers.

And look at him go at them with such determination and grit. *Love

姐姐我要抱抱

OO has been saying once she grows bigger she can start carrying Didi. Aawwwww. For now she will go over to sayang YY occasionally. And when she does, YY will always think that JieJie wants to carry him and spread out his arms. Double Aawwwwww.

OO Was Here

Yeeyee: "OO came over today? 😂"

Durian Suppers

Recently Papa has been buying durians for my supper when I get back from classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

Thank you Papa!!

First Maintenance For Caddy

First servicing at Volkswagen and I went to the MacPherson center. I was surprised that the waiting area was pretty bare except for a coffee machine.

Well I wasn't there to enjoy the amenities, I was working feverishly on completing a group assignment for the Statistical Methods module. That said, I was expecting it to be better than the Eunos Cycle and Carriage. But nope, the place wasn't welcoming at all. And it shows ... I was the only one there.

Our caddy was hoisted up at the far end. The only good thing about this center is the viewing windows from the waiting area. But then I doubt anyone's gonna stare at their car consistently throughout the servicing so it's kinda of a mute point.
