The Songs headed to Kidz Amaze - this is an indoor playground we thought the kids would enjoy...
well, Ashley did but Brandon was just to afraid of the noise from the air guns located in around the playground. He didn't want to enter the playground but we managed to coach him to at quieter area.
Hey, there...!!
Amazing... mommy managed to squeeze thru...!!
We managed to get a pair of tickets to the Chingay parade this year - Ashley went to the parade with Daddy this year...
here's the Japanese Contingent doing their thing...
...Joseph was there too!!
Our "Friend of the Zoo" annual is expiring and as such, The Songs decided to head down to the Zoo.
As always, the kids had a splashing good time at the Water Park
The kids have a picture with Auntie Marissa. Auntie Marissa is our new helper and she has been with us since Jan 22, 2010.
Last Saturday was mommy's work day...it was Open House at Republic Polytechnic (RP)
Mommy and her colleagues
Ashley was there - and has a little taste of what mommy does...she was there at the booth helping to ask if people wanted cookie coupons or a teddy bear... here's Ashley posing with mommy's colleague
Here are Tabitha and Farhan - Singapore Idol finalists perform at the Open House. They're RP students too...
...Ashley even got to meet and had a picture taken with them! Tabitha asked Ashley which school she is from. When Ashley told her that she's attending Admiralty Primary School, she told Ash that she was also from the same school - well, at least till Primary 2. After that, she transferred to another school.
Anyway, the Songs were all rooting for Tabby to be in the Top 2 at the Singapore Idol, and eventually win the competition. She didn't :-( but 3rd isn't bad!
Mommy thinks Farhan looks cute - daddy doesn't think so. What do YOU think...?? (You can post your thoughts on the Message Board on the right of the page)
FLASH MOB at RP as students broke out into dance in the Canteen. This video was taken off from the STOMP website - can you spot mommy watching the dance as she sits in the canteen having her lunch...??

We bought some new bath towels - and instead of throwing the old ones away, mommy decided to use them as foot-towels/floor rugs Mommy took her sewing machine out and starting sewing them into smaller pieces. Daddy thinks she got carried away with all the sewing because...
...she sewed 20+ piece of our old towel. Even daddy's army (green) towel wasn't spared.
Ashley and Brandon cheering mommy on...!! Sew! Sew! Sew! Sew! Sew!...
Kamaboko (Fish Cake) and Datemaki (Egg Eoll

Daddy just gotta get the LAST posting of the year out before the clock strikes 12 mid-night. Ashley and Brandon each having their own My Bedtime Bear.

As part of the (Japanese) tradition, we all ate a bowl of Soba (buckwheat noodle) before the year ended...
... and Brandon ate using a pair of chopsticks - for the first time!!
To all our family & friends, have a Blessed 2010... THE FAMILY SONGS continues in the new year!
