Grouchy vs smiley

Check out the contrasting faces between me and my Daddy... I've just more or less recovered from my fever... which started in the early hours on Monday 29th Dec 2008...

That would explain my grouchy face, right?

Christmas time... playdoh time :)

Hey, check out my christmas presents...

I was curious what was in the bottles that uncle Ker Jia bought for me yesterday... I am sure he didn't just buy me colourful bottles, right? However, Daddy said I couldn't play with them just yet...

All that was about to change when Uncle Weng Kin and Auntie Bliss bought me a playdoh set where I could make my very own Playdoh cookies...

For the time being - Daddy allowed me to ONLY open the pink bottle, otherwise mass mayhem might ensure once I open all the other bottles.

Playdoh is FUN! The texture is really interesting.... like soft cookies.... interesting :)

Outdoor morning!

Check out these 2 handsome young men. :)

Daddy and Mummy brought us out to meet Uncle WengKin, Auntie Bliss and Riley korkor today - where we ate breakfast at Casa Verde - a cafe very near the Botanic Gardens Visitors Centre...

More information on the botanic gardens can be found at

http://www.sbg.org.sg/

Here's a link to the map of the gardens:

- and the central core -

http://www.sbg.org.sg/centralcore/centralcore.asp

I only realised when we were in the cab that it is in the "central core" of the gardens, which is nearer to the National Institute of Education than to Orchard Road...

As you can see from the picture below, Riley korkor and I were both wearing our caps .... we didn't walk around too long cos both the Mummies said they didn't want us to perspire too much. :p


Needless to say, I was quite amazed by the sound of the waterfall near the restaurant too and before I forget, there were a lot of dog barking too, not sure why. I think they should be saying hello to each other. :)

I saw alot of birds too, there was this bird that I was really facinated about and followed it around until it stopped infront of the water fall. Hmmm, that uncle in the picture must be wondering to himself, why is it so fun to be following the bird around and instead I should be running about enjoying the air here at the Botanical Gardens.



Besides, after a bit of walking we were more fascinated with the 'fishfood' vending machine ... as we tried to figure out how it worked, Aunty Bliss and Mummy were puzzled as to why we were enthralled.... We must have stood there at the machine, pacing up and down for at least 5 mins before both our mummies got bored, and asked us to look for our daddies.... :)

(Yippee, Let's go and look for our daddies!!)

Along the way we also played with a nice little doggie named "mei mei" :)

After a while, both riley korkor and myself got tired... and grumpy... thus we both had to go home for our morning naps.

See you soon, riley korkor! (and oh yah, Uncle Wengkin and Auntie Bliss!) Mummy is this the way out?

Shopping for Christmas presents!!

Hello! How is everyone?

Well, Christmas is around the corner and I believe everyone must be busy preparing for it. Well as for our family, the Christmas tree was set up only 3 weeks ago.

Don't even mention the presents, which were not even prepared.



Finally........ finally ............ finally............ Mummy found the time to bring me out to shop for christmas presents. While Mummy was busy shopping, I kept myself busy too - together with Grandpa and Grandma Wong.

I was busy pushing the little pram that Grandpa wong has found. Inside the pram is my favourite character :"BARNEY"!





I got myself christmas presents too.

I got a set of Barney cutlery, a Barney waterbottle, a Barney plate and a cup all with compliments from Grandpa and Grandma Wong.

Oh yes, last but not least. I got myself a cap too! Grandpa,Grandma Wong and Mummy were stunned to find me wearing this cap comfortably. Yes I like this cap, and it has been a long time since I let any cap stay on my head for so long.......... So Grandpa and Grandma Wong bought it for me as a christmas present too!!

hahahah - I have got so many christmas presents this year!





Merry Christmas to everyone!!



May the LORD bless and keep you well.

Jeremiah signing off....

same old grumpy look... :)

Do you think I have the same grumpy look as the fellow in the below picture? Well I am sure we share the same hairstyle...

Getaway Part 3

Daddy and Mummy look more pleased than I was in this picture. Call me Mr Grumpy.

"I didn't travel all the way to the soutern-most part of Singapore to take a picture with obviously fake backdrop!!!"

haha.

Getaway Day 2

Good morning - welcome to Day 2 !

Here am I in the room - carrying a ball which Mummy bought for me on our walk back... well, Daddy carried me as I was quite sleepy..... well, sleepy until I got back into the room. hehehe.

This picture shows the lovely greenery outside... more so cos I think it rained heavily on Wednesday evening....

All set and ready to go! 3 pairs of shoes... can you spot the smallest one? :)

Here's a picture of me waiting anxiously for the tram to arrive... it was only 10 minutes.... the tram journey was pretty quick - around 15 minutes.

But it seemed an eternity...

Yeah. We have arrived at Underwater World. :)

First, we check out the little fishes in the pool.

I wasn't too keen on them. Not exciting enough....

Now - down the stairs to the main attraction! I think I enjoyed the stairs more than the upcoming main attraction :)

Not sure whether you can make out the fishes swimming in the tank. But this was part of the star attraction - a conveyor belt moving all of us around the tank.... the fish look as if they are having fun. :)

Oh!!! are we going back already??? so soon??? Awwww.....

Above pic was taken at the rooftop pool... Daddy felt it was a waste not to swim. But his decision not to was influenced by the following factors:

1) rain... intermittent but definitely there....

2) I can't join. Cos it was not a child friendly pool. :P


Here's me - tempted by the big and shiny green apples. The nice uncles at the hotel lobby said I could eat some. However, by the look on my face, you'd know Daddy and Mummy doesn't agree.

Spoilsport.

Bye bye sentosa... see you soon :)

Getaway Day 1

Hey everybody!


These are pictures taken on Day 1 of our recent getaway to Sentosa :)

This is me. Playing with the glass screen in the room.... can you see that I am trying to give you my best "Growl" effort? :)

Here I am playing on the king sized bed - under the watchful eyes of Daddy and Mummy, of course. :)

Mummy and Daddy bringing me out for a walk on the 1st day. There are plenty of places for me to run around to... yeah! Now that's fun!

And below is a picture taken just before my sleeptime... where I am wearing my pyjamas. Do you think I look more like Mummy or Daddy? :)

"watch this space!"

hello all

Daddy tells me.... to tell you..... (duh)...... that he and mummy took approx 120 pictures of me... me.... and more of me.... and oh yah, a little of daddy and mummy too.

Daddy will 'try' to update some (but not all) of these pictures v v soon.

Akan datang (which daddy tells me is some malay word for.... hmmmm.... i forgot)

Amara Sanctuary rooms are nice (the 4th floor ones at least...)
and no, I don't get paid for promoting them. :P

Amara sanctuary at sentosa!

Today daddy and mummy brought me for my first trip to sentosa!!!

I had a lot of fun running around in my room, and daddy was fine cos it was carpeted thus low possibility of bumps for jeremiah!

In the afternoon daddy and mummy brought me for a walk along the coast. But halfway (as usual) i got tired and refused to walk further. Thus they had no choice but to turn back.

The above Merlion pic was taken by daddy when he went to buy a nice dinner for mummy. :) Daddy later remarked that he hasn't seen such a quiet area whilst looking for food for a long long time. According to Daddy, its a little like his old uni days at Bristol where it was eeriely ghostly quiet, like a dead town. I hope business is better during the weekends, though... otherwise its hard to imagine making a decent buck in Sentosa.

Did I tell you that I like my my room a lot? Its nice and comfy. :)

Jeremiah goes to K K hospital!

Hi there. Guess where am i tonight?

I am at kadang kerbau ("k k") hospital - cos i came down with a bad case of urticaria 风漠

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urticaria

Fortunately KK hospital has a lovely 24 hour children's emergency centre - which I visited at approximately 645pm... the doctor took one look and said my back had tons of urticaria rash and that it should be quite itchy.

Of course it is!!! .... heheheh.... eventually she referred to a nice handsome registrar called Dr Mark Lo something.... who asked her to give me a dose of chlorpheniramine...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorpheniramine

............... which is indeed very useful as its anti-histamine effects make my itches go away... the Dr did caution Mummy that in certain rare occurrences, the child gets even more active rather than lethargic.

Any guesses how I was??? :)

By the time I left the hospital it was approx 9pm..... I went off to dreamland like a log..... snooooze snoooooze snoooooze.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Hello everybody - this is me with daddy during Daddy's birthday!

Yeah, Daddy tells me he's a lot older than I am... I can tell, can't you?

For those wondering where the candles.... guess what? daddy removed them all.... no incriminating evidence of how OLD he is.

Haha.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy happy Birthday!

Daddy's birthday :)

The video is self explanatory... :)

Daddy and me in yellow tops :P

This picture was taken on 12 Oct 2008 - Sunday - when Grandpa and Grandpa Wong brought us out to Tanglin Mall for a quick dinner and Daddy/Mummy bought some groceries for me:

The nutritious stuff they bought includes

1) Jap pumpkins

2) Cereal

3) Organic whole milk (not skimmed milk for me... I'm a growing boy...)

4) Rounded spinach

5) Broccolli (lots of healthy vitamins there... :P)

Journey to the Northeast... :)

Hey, check out these colourful playthings.

Daddy and Mummy brought me out to AMK HUB today.... why you may ask? Because it's there (hahahaha, some like something the romans used to say...)

But seriously, cos Daddy has never stopped in AMK for the longest time... must be at least 5 years or more.

Its quite amazingly BIG, this AMK HUB place. And packed with people during Saturday :)

Jeremiah and Grandpa Wong

Check out this picture with me with Grandpa Wong

Can you spot any resemblances? :)

Happy Children's Day!

A "BIG" Hello to all the Little children out there.

Happy Children's Day!!

Yippee, I am finally able to enjoy this day together with the little kids out there. Today was a breezy morning and Daddy and Mummy decided to bring me out for breakfast...


Guess where is this place? Yes, this is SWENSENS @ Holland V. Daddy and Mummy decided to splurge a little on me this year as its my 1st celebrated Children Day as a toddler. :)

Daddy had to pass me something to keep me busy as the books aren't enough to keep me seated quietly. There was about 2 to 3 tables seated with parents and kids enjoying the food, while I have to sit here and wait. While waiting, the manager gave me a balloon, and Daddy's and Mummy's face immediately turned white as sheet.

Why??

It was because Daddy and Mummy hated balloons. I guess I might have to give up balloons for the whole of my childhood. I think they must have been badly traumatised during their childhood days by balloons... I'm confused, how scary can balloons be? They can't be as scary as "Domo" - for those who are curious to find out more about Domo, please refer to below for more details)

Ok enough of the balloons and "Domo!" Let's do some exercise while waiting for breakfast to be served. :p

Our breakfast set


My very 1st Breakfast Kid's Meal

Oooh boy am I hungry!!

Do you want some of this?

It was a long wait for the breakfast, but I guess it's worth it. Take a look at the picture taken and you will know. I heard Mummy asking Daddy when will I start to 'self-feed'....... Hmm........ Guess what, as soon as the breakfast set was placed in front of me, I stretched out my hand to grab a hotdog to eat.

"WOW my boy has grown up!!" I heard Mummy say. Yes, finally I am showing signs of being able to self-feed.

Above video was taken while I was happily self-feeding.

That's all for now.. enjoy yourselves on this day! Be it the little children or the Uncles and Aunties young at heart. This day is for us all!! :)

In case you are wondering who "Domo" is, Domo is the brown creature in the middle of below pic - with 2 bats on it head.

Isn't HE scarier than the balloons??

Below is a 9 minutes clip on "You tube" for the show "Domo"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvsmWhPaaHU (p.s. this is not meant for kids who are afraid of animals with sharp teeth. Please watch with caution)

"Domo" as mentioned above is a short Japanese film aired during weekdays on Kids Channel daily.

**P.S. Please remember not to give me any balloons as presents, as I am definitely unable to play with it. :(
