Exiled Kingdoms

Recently bought a pay-once-and-play RPG game. It has been on my app wish list for sometime. I was sold by the reviews on how good the story line was.

After playing it for a week, I can attest to the reviews on how well written the story line is. It's your traditional RPG from yesteryears where developers put in a lot of effort creating an immersive environment.

I can say I'm currently obsessed with it, playing any chance I get. And it's not just the story. It's the whole retro vibe and nostalgia of RPGs game from my teens.

Totally worth the $8. I am pretty sure I would be spending many more hours on the game.

Hillview Trip - May 2018

It seems Gareth has been asking if OO is coming to Hillview every weekend. Feedback from Mama is that he refuses to go out if we are making the trip. He's excited to have someone his age to play together.

We are happy to have both playing together too. It helps to build the bonds between cousins.

This is the last batch of water apples this season. Papa has been harvesting them tirelessly through the day so OO can bring a whole bag of them home. She already finished 2 of them while at Hillview.

Numbered House Game With YeeYee

YeeYee is very good at playing different games with OO. And OO is especially obedient in listening to her instructions. No one else in OO's life right now command such adoration ... not even her papi and mami.

Cupboard Danger ... Again

I was out of the room for less than 20 seconds when I heard a loud tumbling sound. I ran into OO's room to find a toppled high drawer. Thankfully other than a scare, OO was not hurt.

The saying is true. You cannot leave young children alone. Everyone was so glad nothing bad happened to OO.

We unpacked all the clothes in the drawers into Ikea boxes and move the drawer out to the living room immediately. It's already happen once and this is the 2nd time. We'll not going to let a 3rd have any chance of ever happening.

Blocks House With YeeYee

YeeYee has been coming over regularly recently to play blocks with OO. OO has begun asking if YeeYee is coming every night. YeeYee is like her 偶像.

Blocks Theme Park With YeeYee

OO was very excited to have built a theme park for her miniature toys with YeeYee. I must say it looks very fun and can see how OO can spend hours imaginary play in the park.

YY @ 3 months - Packing In The Pounds

YY has started packing in some weight and much needed fats the last month. Glad to see him slightly fatter than OO at the same age.

Clearly a double chin

Posing with 姐姐's toys

I love playing with 姐姐

Jujube Hauler

Meimei ran all over Singapore for 3 Jujube trunk shows today before calling it quits. She had a queue at Woodlands but was already feeling nauseous when I reach her at Loyang Point's Burger King. It's amazing what women will brave to get their hands on the 'ideal' bag.

Anyways I'm glad she was close to my office so I could come 'save' her. And we scrap the trip to Woodlands. She's already away most of the day and she needs to get back to nurse YY.

Sushi Goshin @Changi Terminal 4

Meimei and I meet often for lunch. And we usually try to avoid the hawker centres as it's pretty hot during noon. We were on our way to Changi T3 when we decided to detour to T4 instead. We've both never been there and it seemed like a good chance to explore the place.

I had to go back to office so we were restricted to exploring the eateries. We browsed through the food court and concluded it was pretty similar to the T3 one. What caught my eye was the Sushin Goshin outlet. Yes! No more having to run to town get good sushi!

We went for sushi as this is the first time in many months that Meimei has had the chance to take raw sushi. She was very cautious during YY's pregnancy so she hasn't had a taste of sushi for close to a year!

I'm glad we gave it a try. The outlet's standard is pretty comparable to our usual spots at Heeren and Suntec City. I can see us coming here more often to get our sushi fix. Hehehe.

Smile Already Can Carry Carry?

I was always telling YY to smile before I'll carry him. Clearly he doesn't understand a word I say but I still try hehe. And Meimei likes to make fun of me for it.

Papi I smile already can carry carry?

有点不对劲，聊了这么久还没有抱抱我

我好像被骗了

妈妈我要投诉!

Of Cupcakes And Cookies

Meimei had gone to Diaso for some moulds just so she could play Playdoh with OO.

OO was naturally zippy when someone plays with her and was all smiles throughout the play.

It's a good thing that someone else knows how to play with her at home. The only thing I know is to bring her outdoors, to the playground or swimming pool. Not necessary the best options when she is not feeling well.

Paper Mobiles For YY

YY has his Nyama to thank for this. Nyama had complained that we were being biased and didn't buy paper mobile for YY like we did for OO. She noticed that YY was glazing around the ceiling whenever he was in the living room crib. She wanted paper mobiles to entertain him. So Meimei and I made a special trip to Paragon to grab one from The Better Toy Store. We had bought one from the same store a few years ago when they were at the baby expo.

And YY is loving it! When the wind blows the paper mobile about and he'll coo and kaa, chuckle happily and kick and kick in excitement. It's so fun watching him having a great time with the paper mobiles.

YY's First Trip To Hillview

Today is YY's first trip to Hillview to see Grandpa and Grandma. Even though he is only 2 and half months old, we felt confident enough now to make the long trip there. That and he tends to be more cooperative and not scream endlessly like OO.

Grandpa and Grandma were elated to see YY and took turns to cuddle with him. You can see the sparkle and pride in their eyes for a new member to the family.

OO was busy playing water with Gareth. Water play is always the highlight of her trip to Hillview. And it seems Gareth was just as excited to play with Emily. I like that they are bonding. As family sizes shrink in our generation, its important to keep in touch with the little few family members we have.

Kurma Milk: Sounds And Looks Like A Gimmick

Red dates in milk? They sure know how to zoom in on a target market. Lactating mothers. I really wonder what miracle goodness an addition of red dates can bring ... its all so gimmicky. But wait ... mothers with young infants don't care. They will believe any tiny bits of goodness that MAY come any source.

So we have been hunting for Kurma milk at NTUC for the last few months. Meimei even found out that NTUC Bedok Mall replenishes its stock on every Wednesday. Seriously ... I should get into a business targeting mothers. The quickest way to get rich.

Letterbox Theft

Someone had messed with our letterbox and Meimei had lost several of her delivery packages. I suspect it was an inside job. There were no problems with the letterbox before but after returning from the hospital we discovered that the letterbox will open ajar.

There was a home delivery by Singpost and it just happen that the deliveryman didn't call before coming to the door. So we missed it and they left it in the mailbox. This is what I don't get ... they used to send undelivered parcels back to the post office. Why change that practice now? If we paid for it to be hand delivered ... hand deliver it!!

We thought about making a police report but really ... it's not going to help much and its simply just more hassle for us. Plus it doesn't make sense to spend police resource on petty crimes. So I went down with a pair of pilers and bend the lock back into shape. Haiz ... judging by the way the mailbox was opened ... doubt it will stop the perpetrator from breaking into it again. We just need to be more alert for parcels. Low crime doesn't mean no crime.
