Sky turned 6 on 13 May and this would be the last celebration in school. We celebrated a day earlier as the actual day is the meet-the-parent session. He has been looking forward to this day and counting down since April. Unfortunately, Daddy couldn't be around due to SOT. Daddy's team is at our place since 8am for mock cell group and they were real sweet to record a "Happy Birthday" song for Sky.

Am in the writer's mood and decided to update and backtrack the little events that went past for the past six months. And of course, thanks to the kids' Ah Yi persistent  nagging that I have been very unfair to Seth cos a large part of his development went unrecorded. I did not dutifully record his vocabulary list (not that he talks alot but he's slowly expanding his list although he's very not keen to say a 3-syllabus word. This gotten me quite worried cos his peers are already talking! Just look at Bec Bec! Sign, but Daddy is insisting that i think too much), his which # teeth sprout at which month, his naughty moments, his sweet moments and the list goes on and on. So now, you see that I'm trying to recall my memory through the photos (thank god that we still take photos!) and jotting them down bits by bits. The worst however must be Seth's empty photo albums. Until now, I have yet to develop a single photo of Seth! Oh dear....felt so bad! Another one of my to do list!

Anyway, was ransacking through the past few months photos and felt that these pictures really essentially capture the current demeanour of my three baobeis.

Shannon, a reader. She can read whenever and wherever. Though glad that she reads well, her reading habit can sometimes gets on my nerve. She reads during meal, reads while walking and reads the first thing she wakes up in the morning.

Skyler, simply playful and wry. I'm thankful for the time I can stay at home to push him more academically. Haha

Seth, an Ikid. Do I need to say more! Sign!

On Labour Day, we made an impromptu drive up to Desaru for seafood with some cg friends. We set off after church and by the time we reached there, it's dinner time. Frankly, I don't really fancy such ride up just to EAT. Few hours cramped in the car and just for the sake of eating. The food was not very very very fantastic as well. Luckily, we still made it for some grocery shopping at their hypermarket. To mummy, as long got some shopping, it's a passable trip. But poor Daddy, not sure what he ate. He got a bad stomach upset. Even as he was driving, his tummy is not letting him rest. He gotta run to the loo on few occasions. Thank God for Melissa who brought along charcoal pills.
 

Tsk Tsk! Sky actually went out in his PJs. Since this event took place in April, I really forgotten why did I let that happened. It would be the first and the last time!

Anyway, the kids were begging to visit Animal Farm and to feed the animals. Daddy decided on Farmart since it's some time we've been to there. After the feeding, the kids are back for their usual ballet and art class.

The Pinnacle@Duxton is one of the unique Singapore Housing Board's project. Besides being the highest HDB flat at 50-storey high, it has two Sky Bridges linking the various blocks.

Mummy's cousin balloted a unit there and held a house warming party. With only 6 access cards, visitors took turn to go up to the Sky Bridge at 26th and 50th storey respectively.

The kids doing exercise at Sky Gym.

Set the kids and Ah Ma out for a nature reserve walk on a bright Saturday Morning. Really loved the Saturday mornings now that there's no rush for any classes. Remembering our last visit to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve was a fairly brief one, we decided to make a trip there again. Admission charges for adults are at $1.00 while kids and senior citizens are at $0.50.






After the mangrove walk, we ventured into another area where we could spot assorted range of monitor lizards. The kids were amazed by the sheer size of the lizards.





@ Visitor Centre. Lucky us, just as we left, it started to drizzle.
