Dinner @ Sakae Sushi Tiong Bahru

Where is Mummy hiding??

Can I get to eat some later?


Mummy can I have this please?

Hmm, this look good!!

Yum Yum I got my treat... heheheheheh

Can I place my order too, Daddy??

Daddy you sure I can get to order from the Menu?

Finally, I'm being fed by Daddy......

MMMMMmmmmmm, Japanese food is so Yummylicious!!

As usual today is again a "Rainy" Day.

The weather nowadays can be rather unpredictable, sunny one minute and raining the next. We went back home to rest after our Church service. I was too tired to hold on till we get back home and fell asleep while Daddy and Mummy were having breakfast with Grandpa and Grandma Wong.

I thought that today is going to be another "stay home" day but guess what, Mummy suggested going to Tiong Bahru Plaza. Daddy of cos said yes.. as for me.. I tagged along happily. :p

Our 1st stop was supposed to be NTUC to buy groceries, thereafter dinner; but Mummy was tempted by the stores that were brightly lighted along the way to NTUC. We had to stop by "Famous Amos" to get some cookies. You can see me from the first 2 pictures that I was actively posing for Mummy for her pics. :)

After Famous Amos, we headed straight to NTUC. At first we were walking around aimlessly until Mummy took out her little note book, where she wrote down stuff that we need to get for the up coming week. We got back to businesss. While Daddy and mummy were busy, I was busy checking out the stack of packet drinks that was within reach. Of course I wanted to remove it from the rack but then again, no $$$ + high sugar drinks, alas another situation that Mummy will die die not buy for me no matter how I fussed. :(

So they got no choice but to treat me a few pieces of 'Famous Amos" biscuits that they had bought earlier. After paying for the groceries, Daddy decided that we have our dinner at Sakae Sushi instead. We were directed to our seats after 10mins of wait and Daddy immediately placed some orders with the waitress. There were so many plates moving along the conveyer belt which was really interesting. I was then given chop sticks and empty containers to play with while Daddy and Mummy have their long awaited dinner. Yes it was the 1st sushi dinner date that they have been to - ever since I was born. I was given "Chawanmushi" and "Agae Dashi Dofu" which I enjoyed alot.

While Daddy made his way to the counter for payment, Mummy didn't notice that I was eyeing on her "Soft Shell Crab". While she turned around to look for Daddy, I managed to get a leg of the crab and eat it.. YUMS!!!!! :p

This was the most satisfying meal that Daddy and Mummy have had for months together. Of course, I felt the same way too. Thus I was a good and obedient boy during the dinner.

spot the similarity

hey!

You can see a picture of me compared with my Daddy... Daddy's trying to pick up some carrom seeds at his old house - circa 1976... approximately 32 years ago.

Do we look alike?

Of course, I'm better looking than Daddy.... :)

Mummy's Little Domestic Helper (Video)

Mummy has noticed recently that I have been eagerly wanting to help out with her domestic chores when she caught me wiping the floor with a cloth that has been left lying on the floor.

As you can read from the previous posts, I have been spilling my drinks every now and then, although with the "Twink" drink holder the frequency gets lesser. I still tend to spill my drink at times when Mummy is not looking. Not sure if its one of my mischievous act that Mummy has yet to fathom.

One of Mummy's daily chores is to mop the floor during my morning nap. Just yesterday, after my nap, as usual I will be given treats which will include packet drinks like "Milo","Vitagen" etc.. this time round - I spilt the almost emptied "Vitagen" onto the floor. This time Mummy was staring at me with a "Why did you do it again?" look?

My 1st reaction was to look for wet tissues and attempting to wipe the floor with it. Mummy found it very amusing and started to laugh at the flustered look on my face while I was wiping up the spill. hehehehe very poor thing hor?

Btw, I have always wanted to have a go at the vacuum cleaner. I was finally given a chance to use it today. Mummy had managed to catch a clip on the process using her handphone. Please enjoy.

My New Bed

Recently, Mummy and Daddy has been scouting round for a new bed for the lil "O" me, as it occurred to Mummy that I shouldn't be sleeping in the baby cot, especially now that I am 17months old.

Mummy and Daddy can still vividly remember how I looked when I was a little infant sleeping soundly in the cot. As the cot has always been the place where I sleep, it has never crossed Mummy's mind that I could go crazy over the newly transformed bed (from a baby cot). This 'new' bed has been my plaything since it was converted on Sunday.

I was climbing up and down the bed on my own. Yes on my own! I am now a mobile little toddler who is capable of such moves. No worries to all the Aunties and Uncles who are reading this now, as there are 2 thick cushions underneath the bed to cushion me when I fall.

Daddy was telling Mummy that on the 1st night while I was sleeping on the toddler bed, I fell down and landed on the cushion. I did wail a little but I continued sleeping as I was too tired. So Daddy had to put me back to sleep in the bed. Nowadays, Mummy has been busy picking me up from the corner of the bed during the wee hours. Now as I can climb up and down the bed, I can go look for Daddy and Mummy at any time of the night...... a nice improvement from my earlier stage, when I wasn't able to do so when I was 'caged' in the baby cot.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if this was something that Mummy forsaw, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my new plaything.

Thank you Mummy for fixing up my new toy and sorry for disturbing your sleep at night. :)

Hi5 Hi5 Hi5

Here I am - dancing to the rythme of one of the DVDs that mummy has recently bought for me. It wasn't quite difficult to spot me dancing to the music as I am full of "GROOVES". Mummy can also testify that I will always move to the music each time I hear it. Be it the ringtone of the handphone or the songs from the CD shops or music in the supermarket. If you are there with me at that point in time, you will definitely spot me doing the moves. heheheh

There were several times she caught me dancing infront of the TV each time Hi5 start to sing and dance. I think my own choreograph dance moves are quite exciting, don't you? Although its nothing compared to the moves of Hi5, but all these moves were formed out of my enthusiasim. Its still a little bit amateurish :p

There is also another programme that I like very much.. recently mummy has managed to get me the DVD too. Its called the "In the Night Garden".

There were several character in the show. From top left is IgglePiggle, Upsy Daisy, bottom left Makka Pekka, Tombliboos.

Below is the link to the official website of the programme.

Can you guess which one is my favourite? The answer is :

1)Makka Pakka

2)Upsy Daisy

Did you guess it correctly?

Below is another video that mummy has caught me dancing to the music of "In the night garden". There are only certain parts that I will get up and dance and sway to the music.

Fun Time @ IKEA

Yo!

After the Church Service this morning, Mummy suggested we pop by Ikea Alexandra for a short while before heading home.

From what I can remember, IKEA @ Alexandra has been undergoing major renovations for the past half a year at least.

Well, quite a bit of Ikea is still under wraps when we visited again today with uncle Jonathan... I found this moving light very very interesting. As you can see, I'm trying to chase the moving lights.

It's quite fun, believe me... :)

Active Sunday!

Today, Mummy and Daddy brought me to church... the strange thing was that although I woke up bright and early at 6am for my morning milk, I still wasn't in the least bit sleepy when the church service began at 830am.

Oh dear.

Mummy tried for 30 minutes to rock me to sleep using her Mums-In-Mind sling... but I was just too distracted with all the activity around me :)

Below is what Mummy would refer to as a good "father-son" moment when we were in our church's cry-room... Daddy is trying to teach me what fits into the puzzle and what their names are.

I am trying my best to look immensely interested. Is it a good attempt? Hahahahahaha...

Last but not least, this is one of my more mischievous moments... spreading my arms wide while relaxing on one of the blue sofas in the church's cry-room...

What's that in my hand?

Oh yes, forgot to tell you the story of how Mummy bravely said some words in Malay just to get me this Toy Ball. Its part of the publicity for a new Local Movie called " Kallang Roar - The Movie".

They had this stand near the entrance of HMV Heeren last Sunday :) Mummy and Daddy brought me there for a short walkaround.

Do check out the website @ www.thekallangroarmovie.com !!! (I think it starts showing in cineams near you from 21 August 2008... and no, I do not get a commission from all this...)
