What's Been Happenin'

You may have noticed that I've blogged less in recent months. Here is a run-down of what's been happening at my end:

1. Working late till 2am
2. PC konked out a few times
3. Return of some of my favourite shows - Desperate Housewives, CSI, Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy
4. Changing schools for Zack & Sophie
5. Changing job soon (not yet!)
6. Spending more time with kids

Well, would still love to blog anyway. It makes me reflect and calms me down in my daily hustle and bustle of activity. Here's to more bloggin'......

A Day at the Pool

Last weekend, the kids and I spent a day at the NTU Alumni Club's family fun pool. It was our 1st time at the pool.

As you can see, the boys had a great time at the pool, while I was silly enough to use my elbow for balancing and scratched it from sliding down the waterslide. What a day!

Will certainly bring them there again, since they enjoyed it so much!

Ethan and Lucas

We recently met Lucas who has just flown in from Canada, and he is a really adorable baby to be with. He is teething right now at 9 months, and had his fingers in his mouth when he wasn't eating. We had not met his Mummy and Daddy for some time, and was glad for the chance to catch up over tim sum lunch.

Ethan was really cheeky and did his 'pose' for my camera. It was a candid moment!

Around Sentosa

Recently, I spent a day in Sentosa with 2 colleagues, Jenny & Lily, who were here from China. We bought an Imbiah Lookout pass and had to conquer 4 attractions in 1 morning and a half, as they had to return to their hotel by 3pm to checkout.

We experienced 4D Magix which is a state of the art movie, with visual effects, surround sound, individually-controlled motion seats and special "live" environmental effects such as water sprays. It was really fun! We also went to the Carlsberg Sky Tower and Merlion, where we had a bird's eye view of Sentosa, as well as the Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom.

At the Butterfly park, I had the chance to see how a new butterfly emerges from her cocoon - it was really amazing! Wish the kids saw it. Sentosa has changed a lot since the last time we were there.

Sophie at the Playground

Sophie's been very energetic and active recently. Today, she made a milestone by being able to climb up our home's sofa seat all by herself. She's also been practising her climbing skills.

You can see that she was about to climb out of this playground ride today, oblivious to how high she was away from the ground!

The boys were having their fair share of fun at the slides, and really needed them to expend their energy for today so that we could have a peaceful shopping trip later in the day.

Well, the shopping trip was rather uneventful, but Sophie used up a bit too much of her energy, and by noon, she was really cranky and needed to sleep. It was a relief when we all got home, and had a nice afternoon siesta!
