Sweet Indulgence

My usual routine during meal time: gobbling up food within 5 minutes as Kerri gets quite restless after seated for a while. And before that 5 minutes, usually I would be feeding the 2 girls while dar is gobbling his food. So, to be able to eat in peace is actually priceless for us, as I'm sure for all parents.

And with a bit of my alone time today, I headed to Canele for tea while I read my book in peace.

And dinner was a simple affair with dar at Skinny Pizza.

I'm starting to love Skinny Pizza. Their pizza crust is very thin and crispy with substantial amount of toppings. And their side dishes are yummy too. Yes, I'm heading there again soon!

Wrong Side

Can you spot what is wrong in this photo?

Yup! Her shoes are worn on the wrong side of her feet. I don't know why, but Kerri loves to wear her shoes this way. Is it easier to slip her feet in the shoes this way, or is it more comfortable for her to walk in this way?

the New Generation

The focus is always on the kids whenever the relatives gather. And it is of no exception this year. Immediately after the 人日 dinner at Imperial Treasures Super Peking Duck at Paragon, all cameras were whipped out and the cam whoring starts.

The 5 of them.

And the 2 new additions in 2011. Yes, there is only 1 boy, so far. Another dragon boy and girl are on the way! From left to right: Kerri, Phoebe (with white hair clip), Faith, Chloe, Kayla, Issac and Kaelyn.

New Bffs

Kae has been BFFs with Melissa for the longest time. I think it's because M always keep a lookout for her and play with her whenever we meet up, and by we, I mean us the parents.

Is it any surprise that Kerri may be BFFs with M's younger sister Nathalie in future too?

I think they look so cute together!

the First Eligible Drawing

Kae loves to doodle. And I by that I mean she loves to draw lines and circles and weird shapes that do not have a name.

So imagine my surprise when she came up with this drawing one fine day.

I do hope she did not have me in mind when she drew this. Hah!

the Lady and the Tomboy

And the picture says it all.

CNY 2012

I didn't take much photos during CNY this year. It's quite hectic running after 2 kids with a camera. Actually I havent been taking much photos at all at any time.

So here's what I have.

Day 1 of CNY. We have to take the usual photos with the girls of course. The girls in cheongsams. Though Kerri's was way too big on her. Hah!

And somehow, Kaelyn and Kevyn are always the one with the funny face when the 4 of them pose together.

And this time, Kae was brave enough to touch and carry a hamster for the first time!

Day 2 of CNY. We headed just to one place, as always on the 2nd day, my 3rd auntie's place. For the first time in years, we arrived after the dragon dance was over, as Kae kept refusing to be there when they are performing.

And we discovered a potential baby sitter for any emergencies in future. Hah

And here's us!

Huat ah!

Bye bye Rabbit, Hello Dragon!

Happy Dragon year to all!

Love, the Yeos

Double Rainbow

In my 32 years plus of existence, this is the first time I've seen a double rainbow. Lets hops its a sign of good year ahead for all.

N1 Spica, class of 2011

Presenting to you the class of 2011, N1 Spica!

Last minute Shoe shopping

I am not a compulsive shopper in general. Yes, there are definitely a few pieces that I buy without thinking, or items which I regret buying just within the same day. But usually, unless I really love how the clothes or shoes look on me, I wouldn't buy them.

For those items which are on the borderline of my love meter, I will walk away and ponder for a few days or a week. If I keep thinking about that item, I will return to the shop to make that purchase, praying fervently that the item is still available in the size, or colour of my choice.

So, after pondering for 2 weeks, and plus the fact that CNY is around the corner, I brought Kerri along after her JG class to Takashimaya to purchase my first pair of Pedder Red heels.

Slight Improvement

Kerri showed improvement in class today.

She managed to sit through the different segments of the lessons, including demonstration of art work and story telling time! Lets just hope this is not a one off thing.

Claire's Princess Party

Kae and Kerri both had fun at Claire's princess party today, which was held at Polliwogs.

This is the first time Kae had her nails painted! The tattoo thing is not new to her though.

She was very hands on in constructing the princess crown. She managed to peel on 3 out of the 4 double sided tape from the art materials. I wondered how she managed to do that as I found it quite challenging to peel the last tape off.

Both Kae and Kerri sat with me for the princess adventure, aka story telling and dressing up 2 mummies. Yup, 2 mummies got roped in to be the queens, and the children had to dress them up with the accessories provided. And of course my girls just sat with me and watched the whole process.

And then came Kae's favorite part; eating and playground time!

Kae was so proud of the crown that she made, she asked that a picture be taken of it so that she can keep that as a memory.

2nd week at JG

Kerri has been dong quite well at Playclub.

Well, at least comparatively to at Playnest. She is now learning to touch paint and not be bothered by paint on her hand for 5 minutes. Hah! Yes, she is still quite resistant to paint and glue and anything that is arty and not supposed to be on her hand. But she is not as bad as last time when she would just run away and not bother to even try touching the tools.

One bad habit of hers though is that she cannot concentrate during story time. She will keep wandering towards the door which leads out to the indoor playground when opened.

Let's hope she will start to sit and listen soon.

Little Miss PCK

Kerri is a shoe lover as I've mentioned in my previous post.

Presenting her favorite shoes to strut in at the moment.

And it's not even hers, it belongs to Kae!

Kae is 4!

My baby girl is turning 4 today!

Seems like just yesterday when I went to Raffles Hospital to induce her out of me. And after 18 hours 46 minutes, Kaelyn Yeo was born into the world.

As we had a party for her the last weekend, we had a very simple affair on her actual birth date. Just a cake for the one who loves to eat birthday cakes.

Happy birthday baby! We love you!
