Playdate with Gwen on 5th July 2009

We met up with Jeannie and Gwen for a mini playdate at Queenstown library on 5th July 2009. Jeannie and her hubby were so nice to pick us up at Queenstown mrt. The girls did not do much reading and were busy running around disturbing other people or in fact its mainly Amanda who went round kaypohing at other jiejie and gorgor who were doing their homeworks. (Yah must be a nusiance for them although they said its alright when I apologised to them).

Gwen was more guai to sit at the table and not running too far away from mummy. There is this funny thing about her which is she will make a fuss if her mummy and daddy hold hands ahhaha.

Ohh and Amanda is bigger size than Gwen although Gwen is said to be the "fattest" among the girls during the Easties outing at IKEA. Hmm then Amanda must be the FATTEST of them all keke. Well, maybe she is just big size like mummy (excuse).

Trial class at The Little Gym

The little gym just opened a new outlet at Marina Square and they are having free trial class for a limited period. Brought Amanda for the trial class together with Dorothy and Crystal on Sunday.

Outside the Little Gym, Amanda was thrilled to find the same machine she saw yesterday at Junction 8

All the toddlers standing on the beam and getting ready for some fun

Jumping up and down! All the mummies are so tired carrying them up and down

Another stunt on the beam

Finale! Bubbles fun!

Overall the class was ok although I think JWT is more fun. But I guess the little gym focuses more on physical training. However, still I guess Amanda had a good workout and pretty much fun and I find that she can follow the instructor's instruction relatively well.

Amanda's First Hair Cut

I brought Amanda for her first haircut at a hairdresser on Saturday afternoon. Before that, we went to Junction 8 for a while.

She had fun playing catching

She loved dancing to the music at this sweet dispenser and was upset when the music stopped

She loved controlling the steering wheels but not fancy sitting next to Barney ahha

Amanda's first hair cut although her hair was not cut by my hairdresser.

Crying Amanda

I must blog this down. The other day, I was playing with Amanda on our bed. Suddenly, she accidentally hit my forehead with the book she was holding. I pretended to cry as if I was in pain. The next moment, I was shocked to see her face changed and she started to cry sadly and pitifully while stroking my forehead. I was amused while at the same time felt warm cos she seemed to feel heartpain for Mummy.

I told this incident to Daddy and this silly Daddy go and use her hand to let her hit his head and pretended to cry also. The same thing happended again.

Then I told this incident to my mum and sisters. They also did the same thing to her.

Poor Amanda.

To Tampines IKEA again

On Sunday, we went to Thomson to have Ampang Yong Tau Hoo before heading to IKEA Tampines again together with my mum and sisters. We wanted to look for a simple bookshelf and a sofa bed.

Amanda having fun testing out the sofas.

She enjoyed sitting in the baby chair here cos.... there is a pencil there and paper for her to scribble

She loves chasing the light on the floor everytime we visted IKEA

She loves the toy dog so much

Having fun at the children's "walk in wardrode"

*Boom Boom* at Tampines Mall

We ended our day at this restaurant which was featured in TV. Forgot the restaurant name but it is located in Sembawang . And it was really packed!




The soup, onion rings and chicken wings are great! But the fish and chips is too oily to my liking
