First Day @ A Different Child Care

Daddy & Mommy moved Brandon to another Child Care today (6 April). This Child Care is at where mommy works (at Republic Polytechnic). She has wanted to enrol Brandon there earlier but was told that there was not vacancy. But later that week, she receieved a call to say that they will be starting a new class and if she would like to have Brandon join the class.

Normally, daddy and mommy would have to pay a lot to have Brandon enrolled at this Learning Vision Child Care but now, she only needs to pay staff rates since mommy works at RP.

Both daddy & mommy brought Brandon to the Child Care at 8am in the morning to give him time to adjust to the environment.

I guess he was impressed by what he saw...

Before washing his hands before breakfast...

Having breakfast with his new friends. You couldn't see it but the boy sitting across from Brandon was crying the entire time.

Anyway, daddy and mommy were told that he had 2 servings of Spaghetti for lunch. No wonder he threw up after drinking his milk just before took his afternoon nap. He even had 2 tuna sandwiches for snack.

Here's what Brandon will be having - this is one of the four menus at the Child Care.

What are you doing, Brandon...??

Mommy brought Ashley for her weekly swimming lesson today - daddy and Brandon were bonding at home; watching TV together. Brandon soon got distracted and started to play with some 20-cent coins. Want to know what he did...?? Just look at his foot!!

Brandon's 1st Day at Child Care

Daddy and Mommy decided not to have a helper at home after all. So, they had to send Brandon to a Child Care. Daddy called every single Child Care Centre in Woodlands and all had no vacency. Others were just too expensive. Fortunately, daddy managed to find one near where he works - about 3 - 4 minutes walk.

For the 1st day, daddy and mommy decided to let him stay at the Child Care for just 2 hours. Teacher Lin said that Brandon adjusted well and did not cry... but he refused to bathe. She commented that Brandon was "firmed" about it and also comment how well Brandon could kick the ball.

Well, Brandon enjoyed himself and when asked if he would like to "go to school" again - he nodding quite excitably .

After 2 hours, daddy picked Brandon up - he fell asleep on his stroller while walking home. This is rare - he must be REALLY tired...!!

They're related...!!

Brandon feeling himself... well done, Brandon!!

Brandon the Thai Boxer

Daddy went to Thailand to work for a week and came back with souvenirs for everyone... and one of the gifts that Brandon got was this Muay Thai (Thailand's trandition form of Boxing) Boxing Shorts

Mommy's Work

This week is the March school holiday. Daddy decided to bring Ashley to meet mommy for lunch at where mommy works - at Republic Polytechnic (RP).

Mommy even brought us for a short tour to her office and were also introduced to one of her bosses.

Mommy has been busy for the last few week doing something that she's unfamiliar with and not trained at - PUBLICITY!!

One of the things she's been working on is coordinating for photo shoots and liasing with designers to get banners, cut-outs and posters out for RP's Enrolment Week and School Outreach.

Daddy thinks they look good and mommy did well for a rookie in the business of Corporate Communications... what do YOU think...??

Mommy has been visiting various schools for the past couple of weeks doing School Outreach Here, mommy is taking a break at Pierce Seconday School while manning the booth.

Cake in a Cup

A friend forwarded daddy a CUP IN A CAKE recipe and he decided to give it a try this evening... and it worked...!! Check out the recipe.

daddy mixed all the ingredients in a mug

One recipe said to place in the mircrowave for 3 minutes - and another said 5 min. Daddy set the microwave for 4 minutes.

... and presto - a cake!!

A Visit To IMM

We went to IMM mall for dinner this evening - we're kind of sick of Causeway Point so we decided to venture beyond Woodlands for dinner. Well, guess what we ran into - a playground. Needless to say the kids had fun...

We stopped by at Daiso, the $2 store. Did you know that there are Daiso stores in US and Canada as well...??

Anyway, daddy got Brandon a plastic baseball bat - and guess what? He had a couple of "home-run". He could actually hit the ball - daddy is impressed!!

Brandon Ready for Bed (NOT!) & Auntie Judith's Salad

Daddy needed to get change for work and Brandon followed daddy into the room. Little did daddy know that as he was putting on his clothes, Brandon had alrerady climbed up to daddy and mommy's bed... and guess what he did?? He was playing with the comforter and finally got himself tucked in ... and he seems quite pleased with himself.

Daddy quickly ran to get his camera and had these 2 pictures taken...

Today (March 5), Auntie Judith made some salad for dinner. Mommy told Auntie Judith to toss some fruits into the salad before she left for work in the morning. Auntie Judith did what she was told... I guess mommy forgot to tell her that she needs to remove the orange skin before tossing the orange in.

Daddy was tickled with what he saw - he took a snap of the salad and even showed this picture to Auntie Judith. Anyway, imagine what would happen if we had water-melon in the refrigerator...?? "Gasp...!!"

Salad, anyone...??

Hina Matsuri (Girl's Day)

It's the time of the year again - Today (March 3) is Hina Matsuri (Girl's Day). Check out her 2008 Hina Matsuri picture. Coming Soon - Tangu No Sekku (Boy's Day) on May 5...!

Anyway, daddy wanted to include this picture - this is Konatus, Ashley's only female cousin. Isn't Konastu cute...??

To The Zoo

We went to the Singapore Zoo on Saturday morning. This was Brandon's first time visiting the zoo... and we even became "Friends of the Zoo". This means that we get to visit the zoo as many times as we want within a year. "Daddy, when can we go to the zoo again...??!!"

Anyway, what is a visit to the zoo without saying "hello" to Ah Meng...

This is "Ah Meng" the Orang Utan

Brandon making a new friend

At Rainforest Kidzworld - Brandon didn't like water at all - but not Ashley.

Wheee.....!!

Brandon refused to get wet...

... but didn't mind playing with this.

Oh, that's just daddy with Brandon.

It's Showtime - "Rainforest Fights Back". By the way, that's Aunty Judith sitting beside Ashley. Aunty Judith is our new helper.

Mommy and Brandon clapping hard - apparently, clapping your hands will attract the Koi fish to the edge.

Brandon enjoyed the Koi fish - but someone is not too happy here!

And now, she is happy...!!
