Swimming in Bintan

Hi all, this is me, swimming in a float in a swimming pool at Bintan Lagoon Resort when we were there in April. Mama was supposed to have blogged about this earlier when we went in April during my birthday, but she had procrastinated.

Then again, better late than never. Enjoy! :D

We went swimming at around 4pm after we checked in. Mama had me decked out in a thicker swimsuit as she was afraid I may catch a cold. It was fun to enjoy the buoyancy of the water. See me swim around! Whee!! :D

I Spilled Mama's Spaghetti

Last month, Mama made spaghetti for dinner. She had this packet of spaghetti on the dining table and she was supposed to keep it in the fridge. Before she could keep the pack, I had already spilled it on the floor.

Mama was initially flustered but seeing what a artistic looking mess I had made, she decided to take a picture first. Don't you think the noodles look good?

Then she allowed me to play with it while she continued to busy herself again and so here I am enjoying this for a brief moment. ;p

Hair Cut

Mama thought it might be quite interesting for Gugu and Gu Zhang to bring me for a haircut and decide a new hairstyle for me. Gu zhang said I may get a Mohawk haircut and Mama said it's ok as long as my hair is not dyed purple like Barney.

So here we were, at the salon before Gu Zhang flies back to US the following day.



Gugu was feeding me sweets. See, me with my new hairdo. Gu Zhang and Gu Gu meant to get me a short and spiky hairdo but I could not sit long enough for the hairstylist to finish her work and so this is the best we could get. Nonetheless, Mama wants to say a big word of THANKS to Gu Zhang and Gugu for bringing me to the salon. Gu Zhang almost missed his own haircut because of this. ;p

Udders

Hi all, we were having ice cream at Udders after dinner on the Friday that just passed. We had 4 scoops of ice- cream. Gugu had earl grey flavoured, Nai nai and Mama shared their famous Mao Shan Wang durian ice-cream as well as Ballsy Mint and Papa was supposed to have a scoop of strawberry ice cream which he did not finish.

My favourite? Here it is!!

It's actually a can of coke that was poured out into a measuring jug with lots of ice in it. Papa asked for a soft drink and it was certainly beyond his expectations that it was served in this manner.

See me go at it.

Actually, I was not given much to drink but I still relished it more than the ice-cream.

After finishing the drink and ice cream, I had the opportunity to take some pictures using Mama's handphone. These shots didn't turn out too well. ;p

These are much better.

But Mama thinks the best shots taken that evening are these. They were taken by Papa :D

Tutu No More!

Last night, after Papa gently persuaded me for the second consecutive night, telling me that I am now a grown up boy and the dentist said I cannot use a tutu after 3 years old, I actually threw my tutu into the dustbin next to the computer. Then, I slept through the night without it! Hurray! What a great leap of improvement for me! Alas, Mama did not take a picture of my last Tutu. What a waste! ;p

Mamarazzi!

Hi all, can you spot where I am in the pictures below?

Hint : Look for a float and you should be able to spot me near it.

Guess who took my photos secretly when I went swimming with my Gu Gu and Gu Zhang last month? It's Mama!! She had brought me to the pool for me to spend a morning with Gu Gu and Gu Zhang. When she was about to leave, she thought she will try taking some pictures of me having fun with them and so she went up to gym entrance and took some pictures.

I had lots of fun with Gu Gu and Gu Zhang that day. Gu Gu text Mama to say they had fun with me too. It was SO MUCH FUN!! I LIKE IT!! :D

Under the Baobab Tree

Hi all,

This was taken when Mama and I went for my first children's play. The show was titled Under the Baobab Tree. It was meant for children from 2 years old and above and so Mama thought she will let try exposing me to the art form of theatre.

As Mama booked the tickets earlier on in April, we managed to get good seats. We were seated at the third row from the front, at the side aisle.

The theatre is near to Newton MRT station and so we took a MRT to Newton which is something I had never tried before. Here we were, taking our pictures in the train on our way.

Mama went to the building which housed the theatre many years ago and she knew it was probably too hot to walk there and thank God, we managed to have a taxi sent us to the building when we arrived at Newton MRT station. After the play, we took a taxi home too.

When we arrived there, Mama was pleasantly surprised to see there were booster seats in the form of the Ikea stools like the one we have at home.

Unfortunately, I did not really sit long enough through the entire show. I was more interested in playing with the Ikea stools and kept wanting to change my booster seat to another with a different colour.

An usher actually asked Mama to mind me as I stood at the aisle during the play, fiddling with the stools. Throughout the play, Mama had to keep pulling me back to our seats and asked me to look at what is happening on the stage. She almost wanted to bring me out of the theatre to smack me had I not returned to my seat for a while.

The saving grace was that I really remembered seeing a rabbit and a lion in the show and even til now, when Mama reads the bible with me at bedtime, I will mention about seeing a crocodile in the show, Baobab Tree. When Mama asked me, I can even tell her the crocodile was green.

Mama thought the show was rather enjoyable but I was not able to appreciate it. There is most likely no more theatre for me until I turn 5 years old. ;(
