Adrianna's BD

Girls were thrilled to bits when they received an invite to their friend's birthday party. We all looked forward to it coz' we had the company of our dearest friends.

We were a little late coz' we had our Easter treasure hunting at home. (Haiz! If only we had a hunt in her place, I'd gladly sponsor all the treats.) Nevertheless, the kids had a great time together.

"Pin the tail" game which my girls didn't want to play.
Goodies prepared by mummy. She always spoil the kids
Mei-mei is happy with hers.
Oh! It was nice of mummy to get an ice-cream man. Mei-mei was looking forward to her Mee Soto and she wasn't that pleased with ice-cream. Che-che was .... what can I say? A mummy who keeps restricting cold food/drinks, che-che went crazy. And didn't have proper meal.
Lovely birthday cake. I can't bear to spoil the cake

The girls found the joy in throwing confettis
The destroyed cake
Pinata!


For the first time, mei-mei dare to hit the pinata



Some how, we all need the Power Mummies help. So powerful that the bat broke. Host took out a baseball bat. Woah!
After 2 rounds, my skinny girl was tired and did the smartest way of sitting down and wait.

The most Powerful Mummy came to the rescue. Kids ran to get their goodies.
Baby Saby, S and mei-mei

The girls were really exhausted at the end of the day.

Easter Fun!

Come end-March, my girls would very often ask me "are we having egg-hunting this year?" They know that this mummy don't disappoint them either. I wish my mom had done this when I was younger.

Treats for their friends were prepared. These little eggs were given to mei-mei's kindergarten classmates.
Treats for che-che's IJ friends

And today... it's THE DAY! The girls woke up early, chirping around "mummy, can we start the egg hunt now?" Kept pestering me until I gave in and started their hunt earlier. (but was still late for birthday party)

Hid around the house. I don't have that many place to hide but they still find the thrill in getting their eggs. This time round, I try not to put too much sweets in the empty egg shells coz' most of the time it wouldn't end in their stomach.

Hiding eggs around the house. Cute hor! Even to such obvious spots, my girls were so blind
They ran around the house. Mei-mei is definitely faster this time round.
Jumping for joy when she saw this but couldn't reach. See how she tried her very best to reach. In the end, she accepted the help from KZ

Che-che and her prizes. She was really lucky to get all the water-stickers and 1 stack of colourful paper.
And two bonus eggs.

Hinamatsuri - 2nd March

It's ひなまつり. Wow! I thought I did this last year... another year has passed. And no pageantry celebration or preparation coz' I had been really busy with the girls. Simple affair for them as it's a school day too.

2nd March

Here, the girls are excited when they saw a parcel. To their delight, it's Kitty-chan

Cute?

3rd Mar

Goodies prepared for che-che's friends. Nope! I didn't prepare for mei-mei's friends - too many children already.
In it were hina tsuzumi, hina arare, hina fruit cup jellys, candies and soft jelly.
In the morning, I prepared a simple bento. I love the way some Japanese mama did theirs. Haiz! I still need my precious sleep afterall.
Rushed back home and prepared their lunch and for their tea-break.

Here, mei-mei is enjoying her lunch

It's scaled down, but it's the thoughts that counts right?

More branded stuffs

What can you say when you have a materialistic mother?

You try to influence your child, then you end up with two furry balls. Oops! Better make myself clear before PETA comes in and skin me alive.They're merely hamsters and they are named Gucci and Chanel.

Okay, so why the funny name? The kids have no idea and came out with one that is their friend's hamster name. I told them no copying but in the end I'm the one infringing copyright. Ha! All I could think was Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Hermes - 2 syllabus that's is not mouthful for two highly excited kids (who sound inaudible when they talk excitedly).

I dunno what prompted hubby to make such promise - that commitment to take care of pets. I thought fish died already no need to have any pets. Better still - more free time right? They harped on it for days and tried to be angelic to get their hammies. And well they waited patiently for daddy to return back from his multiple trips, finally had a weekend in SIN and off we went on 20th Feb.

There were so many different kinds of hammies. Roborovskii, Dwarf Campbell, Winter White and Pudding. Roborovskii are fast so it's definitely a no-no for the girls.Finally decided on Pudding when asked for the tamest hamster. I had a good laugh looking at the breed, they seem to have some 'balancing' problem? They walk and then fall backwards, walk and fall backwards.

Once we zero-ed in on the breed, next I asked for both females. They brought out all the females for me and let the girls selected theirs.

One caught my attention immediately, that was the littlest and it was really curious. The other 3 cuddled in one corner. Mei-mei chose that curious one.Che-che finally chose hers and it remained still. Haha! I'm sorry, I know you're not a statue. No need to remain still. And it must be really frightened - it pooed!!

Then came the challenging part of trying to listen what the guy was telling me how to care for hamsters and trying to sieve out the unneccesary stuffs amidst the excited kids asking me to "see! mummy see! so cute! so funny!"

The total costs $380+. Wow! So much for two furry balls. Hopefully it's a chance for them to learn ownership.

Outside the pet shopGuess who this is? Right! It's the curious little ChanelNot shy and .. DARING! Dare to run out of the sandbox. Gucci stayed putNow.. finally .... look who's looking at me now.

Last day of school hols

Time flies! The week-long school holiday is coming to an end. And we only managed to find the time to meet. We gathered at Mag's place. She's such a good host!

On this day, Che-che has her LP class, followed by mei-mei's JMC. I know mei-mei will not want to miss her music class so asked KZ along. And she cabbed down to Mag's house first, I joined them much later.

These are the pictures taken tonight

Mei-mei love this wand and bear. Says she's a fairy and wouldn't put it down

Both adults and children had a great time, as we often do.
