Happy Birthday, Daddy...!

Today is daddy's birthday. Daddy says he turns 29 this year...!! By the way, how do you like Daddy's new sunglasses. Actually, it was a gift from Nontan (mommy's baby sister). Thanks Nontan for the cool shades - it makes daddy look so much slimmer ;-)

Grandma (daddy's mommy) took care of us today and she helped us take this picture... hey, where's mommy...??

Daddy's colleague, Aunty Annabel, baked this cake for daddy. Aunty Annabel told daddy that this is a rum-ladened cake and daddy can't wait to sink his teeth into it. Thanks for the cake Annabel...!!

Jiji & Baba Came Visiting

Jiji & Baba (mommy's parents) came to Singapore last week... we went to the Zoo one evening...

We are "Friends of the Zoo" - and so, Jiji & Baba got to go in for free as well... in addition to that, we got to ride on the tram for free as well.

As always, Ashley having a great time at the Water Park in the zoo... she wanted daddy to take this picture of her but could you find her at all... (Clue: she is wearing a black swimsuit with red strips by the side)

Brandon with his new toy...

Brandon shooting Jiji & Baba... "Freeze...!!"

He ain't heavy... his my brother...!!

Could you locate Jiji & Baba at the transit lounge

Church Retreat

Daddy and Ashley went to this year's Church Retreat together at Swiss Garden Resort and Spa in Kuantan (Malaysia). Mommy and Brandon diddn't go this year. And since daddy is now the new Children's pastor and since he was also running the Children's Programme at the retreat - Ashley got to "spent" more time with daddy!!

Ashley participating in a team game...

She even tried flying a kite... but didn't quite enjoy it...

But she did enjoying playing with the thousands of hermit crabs that came in with the waves

It was a long bus ride - it took us more than 7 hours to get home. The bus ride home was bad for Ashley - she threw up twice.

Boy's Day

May 5 is Boy's Day in Japan... also known as "Kodomo no Hi" (こどもの日)... sorry, we could only share these 2 pictures with you. Brandon was not in the best of mood that evening and daddy tried to get some nice shots but couldn't.

@ Sembawang Shopping Centre

For some strange reason, we've been going to the newly renovated Sembawang Shopping Centre motrte these days...

Don't look at Ashley but instead focus on the 2 persons behind Ashley... who's grumpier...??

A new way of riding on the cart

Mommy's either too old for this... or too heavy ;-)

Brandon rode on the leopard at the zoo... and here Brandon riding on a panda before their go completely extinct.

Zoo Outing

Went to the Singapore Zoo again... but this time was with the international students from our English Corner that daddy is heading at church... and since we're "Friends of the Zoo", we get to go in for free.

As always, Ashley enjoyed the water park - Ashley and her best friend, Christabelle covering their faces...

Brandon enjoying a ride of his leopard...

We were out since morning and by the time we headed back home, Brandon was already very, very tired... see how Brandon falls asleep in slow-mo.... GOING...

... GOING...

...GONE... Zzzzz.....!!
