RYAN'S FAVOURITE PLAYMATE & BEST BUD

Here are some pics of 1 of my son's favourite person - Kakak! (My ever lovable niece Ayra). These were taken when we took them to Qian Hu Farm to look at the fishes. They thoroughly enjoyed feeding the tortoises & kois. We decided against catching the longkang fishes as I doubt Ryan had the skills to scoop those tiny creatures. Besides some of the kids & parents were like commando-tag-teams, trying to corner those poor creatures into a tight spot just to catch them. I think we'll spare them the torture & feed the fishies instead.

KIDDIE RIDES GALORE

Here are more shots of Ryan enjoying himself at the various rides at Great World City before we saw the fireworks.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY, SINGAPORE!

OK, this year I was trying to be adventurous & dragged my son & hubby to see the National Day fireworks. Eventhough I enjoy fireworks, I never really bothered about those gigantic crackers until today. I guess as a mum, I wanted Ryan to experience all the simplest things in life - a huge explosion of lights (that was free of charge "wink wink" & easy on our pockets). Unfortunately, half of Singapore had the same idea. We tried to stay and shopped nearby at Great World City coz the idea was to go to Fort Canning Park to see the fireworks. But of course, hubby had a better idea. He said "Let's go to the Padang side". Yah right, half of Singapore thought it was a good idea too. Traffic was snail-paced and the road-blocks were at every turn. At wits end, we ended at Golden Shoe carpark, and decided to walk over to Boat Quay. Here the crowds weren't that bad. Ryan did his "best" impersonation of "The Patriot" but as you can see he has lots to learn - like never to put the National flag upside down. Oh well, he''ll learn eventually.

What we didn't realise was that there was a reason why the Boat Quay area was relatively "deserted" compared to the Padang area. We soon found out the reason why, the fireworks started at 8pm but all we could see were the tail ends of the the blasts. Our view was totally blocked by the huge skyscrapers. Arrgh!!! Unfortunately, Ryan didn't quite enjoy the view because he was overwhelmed by the loud booms. Oh well, we''ll try again next time when he's much older. Until today, whenever Ryan sees or hears anything remotely similar to the fireworks display, he will get terribly upset nad keeps on uttering "Ssccaarrreed!!".

All in all, it still a fun experience though it did feel like a wild goose chase, running after balls of lights in the sky.

FIRST BLOG ENTRY

Hhmm ....

My first post on my blog. What do I say? Well my sis has been encouraging me to do up a blog since my little rascal, Ryan was born but I've been too busy and lazy to bother. Now the time has come for me to "torture" the world with my endless ramblings about my mundane live, the loves of my live - my husband, Steven n my son, Ryan; my extended family and friends.


I hope that this blog will be able to shed some light on the on-goings in my life - though so ordinary, its the only one I know. Hope if my family and friends are busy, they can always look up the blog and get updated on me and my 2 boys. Well happy reading and take care!!!


P.S : As I am typing this up, my lovable son is busy unraveling the stacks of CDs and passing them to me, with much glee. Ok I gotta go and put them back in their rightful place. Arrgh! ... I had them in alphabetical order even.
