Splish Splash @ Sengkang Swimming Pool

On a hot and sweaty Saturday afternoon, what do you like to do? Well we spent the afternoon playing at Sengkang Swimming Pool. We brought Lucas to the water playground and that is when he sprung to life...

See how happy he is



We never realise that this swimming pool is so popular... even at 2pm there were hordes of people everywhere. Kids were running around playing water. Over at the covered swimming pool there were at least 5 groups of swimming classes, leaving us with pretty little space to move around

Lucas with Grandpa

We found a little spot with shallow water for Lucas to crawl and play around. To our horror, he decided to cross over the barrier into deeper waters. Check out this little daredevil in the video below.



Time flies and by 5pm we had to leave the swimming pool. As usual we have to resort to some strongarm tactics to hoist lucas out of the pool.

This is the moment we have all been waiting for... Lucas finally able to walk. Hurray!!!

Siglap Baby Show 2009

On this particular Sunday morning, We brought Lucas to the Siglap Baby Show. This was more a Baby Olympiad than a Show because there are an array of competition for babies to take part...We enrolled Lucas into 3 competition and mind you, Lucas sure has a lot of supporters. Lucas' Grandpa, Grandma, Joyce yee yee and Rodney yee Zhang, Evelyn gu gu, Liyun and Chu Hui Biao Gu all came to be lend their support as cheering party.

First up we went for the Most Photogenic Baby. We were quite pleased at how the photo turned out. we will upload the photo soon. Second we took part in the parent child lookalike competition. There were over a hundred participants and we had to wait our turn. Those that were shortlisted will stay on the stage till all participants have been judged. Lucas and Daddy managed to knock out all other babies and went into the last 6. It was a pity that Lucas chose that moment to sleep. As a result we got eliminated. The third competitin was a diaper changing contest for all fathers. Daddy managed to win a consolation price.

It was indeed a fun-filled Family bonding day for all of us.

we going to the Zoo zoo zoo......

Today Daddy got a corporate zoo pass for 4 pax, and so we bundled up everything, packed 2 big bags for Lucas, one for his swim wear,one for his other barang barang plus one more bag for the picnic stuff... we packed in some sandwiches and ribena for power... haha... Off we go to the zoo together with Evelyn Gu Gu. Along the way Lucas fell asleep and we were a bit worried that he might sleep thru the entire zoo trip... not to worry, as soon as we enter the Zoo and landed at the orangutan enclosure, he is wide awake and in a daze... Poor Lucas must be wondering is he still in dreamland... haha.... After a while, he realised that he was not dreaming and started pointed here there everywhere at the animals. For convenience sake and to conserve energy, we decided to board the tram ( that cost us $5 bucks per pax ) a bit too ex we think... Anyhow we reached the Splash Theatre and were there just in time to catch the show. Even though we were like 10 mins early the entire auditorium was full of people. We ended up near the Splash Zone ( Danger Danger ) and thru enough, the seal treated us to some refreshing mineral water compliments from the Zoo. We headed for the Kids Zone and went into KFC restaurant. We were pretty lucky because shortly after we got a table it started raining heavily. We had some light refreshment and homemade sandwiches. That was when Lucas started dancing like an indian... When the rain slowly died down, we got the chance to bring Lucas to the water theme park. When Lucas got into the theme park, he was unstoppable... before mummy or daddy could change, he was already busy crawling in and out of the water spouts. Even when he was smacked in the face with a strong bout of water, he would crawl towards Mummy for help, but before he could reach Mummy he seems to have forgotten about the whole incident. Before u can even spell your own name, good old Lucas was busy crawling into the water spouts again... Sad to say our happiness was shortened by the impending lighting and thunder. For safety reasons, we were told to leave the watertheme park. Plucking a happy Lucas away from the water is like plucking stars from the sky... he screamed endlessly as if we were trying to slaughter him. As we left the water pool, he kept turning back and pointing at the pond... Sorry son, we will come back next time ok?? We popped over the entrance souvenir shop and got Lucas a gift... by then it was almost 6 and we left for home to celebrate Granny's birthday... Phew what an eventful, enjoyable and tiring day. The most amazing part is that Lucas did not sleep a wink for the entire afternoon while we were out. Ha Ha...

what a appointment?

Yesterday,lucas have to go for the the ENT appointment at KK hospital.Daddy was not able to fetch us there luckily yi yi & hubby is free thanks for helping guys

we waited almost 2 hours even though we have an appointment already. After which we proceed to aunty Rico shop but before we were there at novena car park I had noticed my son is a bit warm & restless. When yi yi carry him out of the from the car he start to vomit out all his porridge i guess is indigestion have chunks of pumkim & fish and worse is it smells horrible .

I quickly took over to carry him & he puke on me as well.i suspected he caught the sickness at KK while waiting.

Night fall his fever is higher & again vomited for the third time so Daddy & me decided to bring him back to KK at 11:45pm .The hospital was very crowded & we were informed that the waiting time will be at least 2 hours so finally is our turn to see doc after the long wait .

Doctor say yes he may have caught some air borne virus.Doctor insert the medic thuru his buttock to stop the vomit & reduce fever this again will take one hour to be effective and we are suppose to give 15ml of sugar water like barley or ribena every 15 min to test out if he is ok . well we can go home to do this but the only thing is that if we go back home and after one hour when he drink the water he vomited we will have to bring him back again so we decided to wait at the hospital to monitor him

yeah lucas passed the test no more vomit la after the medication . we are so happy as we can finally go home by than is almost 4:00 am le

what a ENT appoinement ...

Lucas have been talking a lot after his 1st birthday and is rather aware of things happened around him. mummy is very proud of him.

My first Birthday celebration

Lucas celebrated his birthday on the 7/3 saturday . We had too many friends & relatives that we loved to invite so we split the crowd into 2 groups. Early morning we went over to my inlaw place to "bai bai" Guan yin. We wish for Lucas to have Good Health and Wealth.. haha... and that grows up to be a good friend, a good son, a good student, and a good person in short everything good for Lucas boy la....

By 1130am the buffet caterer was here.... by 12pm the first to arrive is Lucas' maternal parents. Luckily we prepared lots of balloons the day before because they were very popular with the kids. In no time, our whole house turned into childcare centre... The kids were playing with toys from the goodie bags, playing with each other like best friends. We also have parents running after kids to feed them. As for our son Lucas he was spotted crawling around the whole house uncontrollably. One moment he was playing balloons the other he was chasing little girls trying to kiss them... maybe this is the first time he saw soooo many kids romping around our house.

It started to rain by mid afternoon and some of our guests were stranded as they did not bring brollies. Nevertheless, the children continued playing...As the rain grew smaller, our guests also decided to take their leave. Lucas' paternal grandparents and Tua Pek and Gu Gu arrived at around 3 plus with Ang Ku Kueys. We ordered 2 special Ang Ku Kuey for Lucas to step. It is believed that Babies who step on AKK on their 1st Birthday are supposed to have a stable career, be more obedient and have blissful life. After stepping on the AKK, Lucas was given an array of items to choose. The items are Ruler ,calculator,scissors,drumstick,bookand stethoscope.Daddy wish that lucas will pick the stethoscope as this indicate he maybe a doctor next time ...haha but lucas pick the calculator which meant next time he will be a accountant or auditor hmmm that's not bad a choice.

Evening came & mummy try to pat lucas to sleep so that he will have energy for the nxt batch of guest.Well true enough when all the guest had left he FINALLY sleep oh my he sure did sleep super soundly.

The second batch of guest arrived at ariund 6 & all was asking for the birthday boy but all was disappointed when i told them that lucas was asleep.Around close to 8pm i have no choice but to disturb his sleep and i tell u i really had a hard time waking him up. He cried as he is still feeling so sleepy poor son ..tog with yi yi , gu gu & evil mummy we manage to wake him .

Daddy got the cake and guests ready. Can u imagine all 50 guests squeezing in our little living room? Lucas was still in a daze and shocked to see so many ppl so he was a bit fearful just want mummy to carry but i must say he was already a good boy. He did not cry during the whole process of singing the birthday song & photo taking session haha...
After a while his engine started le he is a bit more warmed up back to his usual self.

Mummy & daddy were so tired that we knock out once all the guest left . we are fortunate that my in law brought lucas with them as my mum in law wanted me to rest more so sweet & nice of her.

Well i wanna say special thanks to the Yiyi who came early to help around and the lovely birthday cake .Gu gu for getting the list of things for selection, tua pek to help to collect the AKK ,Lastly all the guest who have came thanks for the gift & ang baos. Every one of YOU have made this 1st Birthday a GREAT SUCCESS!!!
