The Apple's Diary!

We have waited for 3 years to be able to really celebrate Jon's birthday. For the past 2 birthdays, the poor boy had fallen sick on his actual birthday and there was no mood to be merry. So it was very dear and precious to us that our firstborn could enjoy his birthday as much as he liked! His birthday morning started with his revelation of a shiny bicycle as his birthday present. happy with his surprise gift Jon was thrilled he has a bicycle of his own. He went round the house with his father's help before we brought the boys out for breakfast at West Coast Park.  the new 宇宙小毛球 For some unknown reasons, Jon started insisting on tying his hair up! Yes, he has been bugging me to tie his hair and on that morning, he went to the park with his new hair-do! Luckily I managed to persuade him that he was cute enough and needed not do anything to his hair! We spent a happy but tiring morning, teaching him to cycle and letting the boys run around in the park. G

We went for a Tiger theme, not necessary to be Tigger the Tiger but any cute, smiling, happy Tiger will do. So we got Cloud9 (yes, again….) to bake this lovely smiling Tigger for Jon's school celebration. Cloud9's bake We went around 3.30pm after the children's nap and when the children were ready, we got ushered into his class. There we found Jon waiting patiently for his birthday party! Pondering on his cake? All children love a birthday party, whether it's theirs or not. We got a class of 10 toddlers, surrounding the birthday boy, singing the birthday song so heartily and cheering so happily at the end. family shot We didn't bring Matt along as firstly, it would be difficult to handle so many things at the same time, secondly, I am paranoid about what Matt is exposed to as you know, childcare is like a germ incubator. On the same day, we had another boy in Jon's class celebration his birthday as well. It was really a case o

Decided to split Jon's birthday celebration into 3 parts otherwise it would be a too lengthy post with too much photos at one go. Continuing with  birthday preparation  post, we started the first celebration with the Chinese Birthday which was based on his lunar birth date. It was a simple Mac's takeaway with a cake block from Polar. Yes, that's about it! SuperHero Cake Block from Polar Say Cheese! It was a practice session for Jon to blow his candle and cut his cake. From the boys' look, I guess the boys are more excited to blow the candle than anything.

It's the season of celebration again… our firstborn is turning 3 soon! For the past 2 years, he had fallen sick on his birthday, first year was with a high fever and second year was worse with croup cough and a viral fever. This year, we kept mum on our birthday plan for him and prayed hard that God keep him healthy and safe so this little boy could really enjoy his party. Starting with his school celebration and I heard that a boy from his class actually would be celebrating his actual birthday on the same day as Jon is going to celebrate his too. So we are still pending on the reply from teachers if we need to shift our celebration a day earlier or what. In any case, we had gotten the goodies bag ready. the goodies We are going to have a drawstring with handle type of party bag, filled with a yakult coin bank, kinder surprise and a pencil. The kids will have a party hat during the celebration. Instax Then we will have the kids' polaroid taken durin

Jon's passport to his primary education. Because of the unprecedented balloting at Phase 2A2, we felt that by taking a step further - joining the alumni would better our chance to get Jon into my alma mater. Call it " Kiasunism " but it is better to play safe than never.
