Kiddo Talk & Pics Sep 2021

A bumper month of photos to share.

"Cry" For Company

阳阳 shed a tear so 姐姐 will accompany him. *Slow Clap Clap Clap 假戏真作. The ultimate 骗局.

How do you raise a 3 year old that can do this sort of act? 萱萱 a very straight naive girl. 阳阳 on the other hand is a masterclass at manipulation. 

Mysterious Rashes

It's been a week since it started. Initially there were patches on her back and thigh. Now it is showing up on her face and limbs. We took her to see Dr Ang yesterday and did the allergy test for eggs and yeast. We'll get the results in the next couple of days. Hopefully its nothing more sinister.

Mid-Autumn 2021

In a month where the kids were home most of the time due to fever, I'm glad they were able to go to school for the mid-autumn festival. Unlike yesterday years we were not going to be able to stroll around the basketball court after dinner for photo ops.

A Fortnight Of High Fever

阳阳 has been having high fever for the past fortnight. Initially I was reluctant to bring him to see the doctor as he has no other symptom other than the high temperature. But when the fever persist and didn't break we risk a trip to Thomson. Going to the doc now is a fine balance between getting medication and check-up versus avoiding other sick kids who may carry the Covid virus.

A few days after our visit 阳阳's fever subsided and he start having red rash patches. That made Meimei very worried again but we tried to wait it out again. I suspect that the red patches were 阳阳's body purging out all the medication we had him on constantly for the past fortnight.  

Throwback Pic #1

I'm going to start a new series - Throwback Pics. Apple has always had this feature where they will prompt you memories. The ones Meimei shared recently were the cutest pics ever.

This is one of those melt-melt picture.

Super Hot Beach Day

Another rare outing to the beach. It was a super hot day and the pavilions were bordered up. So we had to rest under a tree. We managed to chance on a spot with sand so 萱萱 and 阳阳 were happily digging through it for treasure. After that they went to the shore to play with the incoming tide. Its high tide so the water comes in a long way and the kids loved it so much. I was watching the mat and stuff so I couldn't be there but I can hear their loud laughter and glee.

Papa Ayam @PLQ Mall

I seldom blog about food these days. Well considering we are in Covid for the last year and half that's not surprising. I didn't set out to look for this, we happen to walk around the basement of PLQ mall and chance on this. The colourful chillies on other patron's plate caught my eye when we walk past and I immediately gravitated to the stall.

We didn't dare to go too spicy since this was the first time and we were not sure what Level 1-20 falls. We played it safe and went with Level 5. Oh my the flavour burst and mouth-watering sting of the chillies were fantastic. I'm coming back for more, guaranteed. It is THAT superb.

Buying Breakfast With Mama

A super rare outing with Meimei to buy breakfast early in the morning. I was still deep in slumber.

阳阳: "bye papa have a good day at office"

This is what every parent wants to hear. Your kiddos wishing you a good day at work ... *thumbs up.

Showing Off Their School Artwork

The highlight of the month. While waiting for kids I noticed 萱萱's name on a panda drawing. Awesome! She has always had a knack for art.

I didn't know that 阳阳's art was also on display till his teacher told Meimei about it. He had made the ambulance you see in the picture right above his head. 

Kiddos @Kinokuniya - Takashimaya

A rare outing today to Takashimaya. Our first stop was Kinokuniya to introduce them to the bookstore. 萱萱 used to go to the library with Nyaong but 阳阳 has never been anywhere. 

The kiddos looks so cute sitting there flipping through the books. 萱萱 tries to read a little but goes back to the picture books very quickly. 阳阳's all about the pictures and I kept a watchful eye that he doesn't destroy the books he is browsing.

Hillview Aug 2021

The best part about Hillview is the foyer where we can play anything. So any play that create lots of sand, dirt, mess and generally ban from the normal living room floor is reserved for Hillview. Today the kids are playing with playdoh.
