On This Day - 6th Sep #Reminders from FB#

6th Sep 2021

They were little once ....


*added photos into the “Reminiscing the big girl when she wasn't big” album*



In Geneva when the temperature suddenly dropped so used the rain cover to block the wind. Here we can only see her 2 feet sticking out.

Thank goodness she was an easy child. (2003)


Jungfrau


Took a train to Freiburg (Germany) alone when hubby was working. Hee! All I needed to do was to look helpless and the guys there are so gracious helping me load the pram up/down the train.


On another day, to another part of Switzerland. Took a 25mins train ride out and then a bus to this interesting town.

A curious child looking out of the bus.


"Germany is behind us mummy!"


Very interesting archaeological finds - Rhine Baths.

She wouldn't know anything. I'd love to be back there with her again


That cute puppy-looking eyes, pouty lips and chubby cheeks


"Teacher I know the answer"

(2004)


I climbed Huangshan at 2 years old. What an accomplishment!


Why was she crying? Looking so sad.. got tears some more.


"What?! My shares dropped?"


In Zurich then to Basel and Shaffhausen, then to Vienna and Salzburg and finally to Munich (2005)


Footnote written in 2022 : I miss Switzerland…..

Mirabell Palace


Daddy carrying Athena infront of Statue of Athena


While the man head back home (or was it to another biz trip elsewhere?), mom n I continued our trip to London to meet up with some friends. I brought her around few other places I never brought her to before.

Here she is getting to know a pair of twins outside

Kensington Palace


In Tower of London with Tower Bridge in the background. Even the Crown Jewels ๐Ÿ‘‘ here are not as prized as her smelly bear. ๐Ÿคฃ


In Athena's Castle


Hiao hiao girl


Capitol Building in Washington DC

"Why must there be war mummy?"

@ WWIl Memorial in Washington DC


I love Smithsonian Museum. Would love to be there with the family again


Someone is really happy. She gets to listen to kids music throughout our whole trip.


Niagara Falls.

"Mummy, big big waterfall."


Our ride on Canada side. Heehee!


Daddy teaching her the audio player buttons in the car.


Yup! It was 15 days to Halloween.

Feeling the mood

Footnote written in 2024 : pity she didn’t get a chance to pick pumpkin last year 

Mummy, where are we going? Is this my meeting gift for them?


"Hello Unker Richard Aunty Irene, I am the little terror Athena. Nice to meet you."


I can't open my car door! Where are my keys?


Strolling in Battery Park


The symbol of freedom and democracy


Happy and carefree child. Play n play after kindy.


Year end concert (2005)


"Santa gave me present last night mummy"


We celebrate every 25th of the month. Then when lil' one came along, we celebrate every 19th of the month.

So silly but anything as long as it makes them happy.

One of the innovative "cakes" - tissue prata - which was her favourite

@ 9am : I'm going to be a big sister soon!

Visiting mummy coz I think my lil' sister made her sick that she had to stay extra days in the hospital. But it's ok, I like the hospital. They always serve me biscuits and Milo when I am there. Here I am waiting for my snacks.

(Let me explain. It's more like she always come n visit me or when she visit lil' one when she was hospitalised at the right timing. Always the timing when they serve us snacks. So she must have thought hospitals serve guests drinks ๐Ÿ˜‚. 

She will sit herself at the table n pull

the cup towards her)



On mummy's birthday. And evlybordy this is my boring can't-play-with-me-yet sister.

Another lovely gift from tutor. Truly appreciate her kind thoughtful gesture.

Now must get a nice pot and find a place to put in the house ๐Ÿค”










6th Sep 2021

Her another tutor gave lil' one these cakes way in advance for her birthday. The old school cakes, I wonder if lil' one has seen them before?

So sweet of her and I find it really funny (or perhaps worried) that our fridge is loaded with too many bakes now. We still have 2 cookies from Aunty Wilma Cheng, chocolate cake from Aunty Nanette Zehnder, mooncakes from the bank, brownies from Youli Song. Hubby barely finished the bakes the school gave as care pack and I was happy that the fridge finally had some space.

I'll start to worry again in 2 weeks time when my compliant mooncakes arrives. And also when we get donuts as her birthday cake ๐Ÿ˜ฌ . More boxes again ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿป‍♀️. 

So no more bakes please, if anyone wants to send things to me (so thick skinned), please send a fridge over instead ๐Ÿคฃ.

Nevertheless, thank you all for the love love ๐Ÿ’• . Our hearts and tummy are filled with your love.

She gets to eat her share 5 days later. But she took one bite and gave a funny look. It's that natural blue food colouring (not blue pea, dunno what it is) taste lah! Haiz! I gave up coaxing her to eat so ate it since I didn't get a chance to eat it.

6th Sep 2015


They were trying to get the girls in. My lil' one went in herself. (and I didn't pack spare clothes)

Muahahahaha!

Finally! Athena is the second girl to be pushed in.

Waiting to surprise hubby/daddy …...but the lil' one can barely keep her eyes open
