Yu must still go to school - saw this in their new classroom
Let's make a wish at the Fountain of Wealth!
Yang made two - one for baluku to go away and one for GeGe to not bully him, poor boy! Kai and Yu made candy wishes *.* I had to carry Yu around the fountain three times - I should have the wish, hoho!
Went to Suntec to support the National Family Week and bumped into quite a few old friends who were, sadly, on duty that weekend. The kids weren't terribly excited as they couldn't go on the bouncy castle having just got their vaccination.
Hello, the sign says not to climb...
This was quite fun for them though
Kai found chess so he played that...
My sweet boy and me resting by the side :)
We made a terrarium! It was quite fun!
Biggest kids at the ECDA booth :p
Hopped over to Marina Square and found photo ops!
Mama also wants a photo! Pup must join in...
I had planned for an early dinner but there wasn't much to do so we ended up with a late lunch. Timing was just nice as they had late breakfast at Yakun just before leaving for Suntec.
20 XLB not enough!
One last stop before going home
Yu wanted to poop when we stepped out of the train station. Jialat. But ice cream beckoned. Then he really wanted to poop in the shop but refused to go so he didn't want ice cream - couldn't eat. Then he changed his mind. Then he had 10% of his cup. Yang also couldn't finish his ice cream. I ended up eating a lot when I already had my sinful Emperor Mao. Next time, they shall share!
We weren't hungry for dinner but the kids gotta eat something. I bought spinach from Dian Xiao Er and cooked some rice for them. I had spinach neat :p But I also packed some fried chicken from the pasar malam for my supper :p
Yang helping me with pizza dough
Yang likes to help here and there. He has helped me make bread, make pizza and stir coffee. He also likes to see me wash the toilets *.* Your turn will come, don't worry :p
Their poor bolsters!
Papa and his pups were all in horizontal stripes!
Went to CCK to support National Family Week again, hoho! And we ended up having BBQ for dinner. The kids enjoyed the beef and even the rice!
And we gave them this pretty candy floss - $4!!
We went back to Lot One the following week to watch Jurassic World Dominion. Kai and Yang enjoyed the show and of course, the popcorns!
Snacks on my bed?!
Yup, decided to do a sleepover instead of a staycation. Quite ex to find a room to take all of us so I chose a night when Sito wasn't home to do sleepover, else not enough space... I went to check on Yang who slept on the outside and Yu rolled over to my side *.* I slept at the foot of the bed for a while, gave up and went to the kids' room to sleep.
In the end, none of us slept well! But quite fun la. They had yummy snacks, watched YouTube Kids until late, and did a short video call with Papa. The next morning, we had Yakun.
Yu was wearing swimsuit as he had water play in school that day
Discovered a rainbow when taking out the laundry and called the kids in!
Kai: Boring..
And he returned to breakfast.
Yang: Do you know why the rainbow ends there?
Mama: Why?
Yang: Because in cartoons, rainbows always end in the clouds *sweet smile*
I melted :)
Yu: It's so bright!
Ok, let's all get back to breakfast!!
Happy Fathers' Day to Papa!
I got the idea for this cake a couple of months back when I saw Sito playing Chinese chess with the boys. I thought 帅 stands for handsome, general and Chinese chess! But I couldn't find it online easily so decided to make it as a surprise for Sito. The boys were in on this and were supposed to help but in the end, guess who did all the work?
I baked two cake layers on Thursday and froze it. On Sunday, I made the frosting and decorated the cake. Couldn't do cake piping so I searched high and low for red decor and found candy beads! Yang and Yu kaypoh added more candy beads to the bottom.
When Sito saw the cake, he wondered if he had missed a kid's birthday, haha! No la, the cake was for you, my dear!
The cake was yummy but the frosting was too sweet! Maybe try a different recipe next time...
Yang made a card for Papa - but couldn't explain why lonely Papa!
Yu made this in school - he pats his chest and says it's for here :)
My drawing of our little family - same hand and leg pattern coz lousy artist :p
And it's on recycled paper - it's got some stamps all over the other side hence the blackish hue. Yang and Yu wanted proper shoes instead of slippers. Yang said I could draw very well, hoho!
Sito changed his travel plans so he spent the last week of school holidays in Singapore, yeah! He took leave but had plenty of meetings anyway *.*
Yu discovered a drawing lesson at the back of a library book so they all started drawing!
Yu vs. Yang
Kai vs. Yang vs. Yu - written by Yu
Kai vs. Yang
And again coz competitive :p
Finally brought them to Bouncy Paradise on the last Friday of school holidays. I told them I'd bring them only after they were vaccinated. And we clashed with a student care trip - so many kids and so many pulled down their masks *.* But ok, so far no one got COVID!
Spot the boys!
He decided to bua butter on bread with his finger coz yummy
But I later discovered the wonders of whipped butter - way easier to spread! I whipped up a block for our BBQ on Saturday, and I have enjoyed spreading butter on bread easily for the past two days!
Anyway, this was our second BBQ in five years... It was meant to end the June holidays with a bang. At first, it was also a birthday party but the birthday boy didn't want a cake that day.. Akan datang for birthday post...
What's on the grill?
Burgers!
Yu stuffed his mouth
The burgers were really yummy! I made the buns and patties that very morning, and Sito was the chef. Yang took the first burger, which was unfortunately ugly. He ate it over a long period of time so I didn't manage a picture. But Sito got the hang of it very soon so burgers looked wonderful too!
Lettuce for the adults; none for the kids :p
We also had salmon, pork sausages, chicken satay - must have all sorts of meat for BBQ! :p But we didn't manage to finish the sausages and fish. For vege, I prepared mini portobello mushrooms and Mum brought vege bee hoon and salads. I just realised I forgot to take a photo of all the food together :(
The kids had fun playing in the pools until the sun set and we got them out of the cold and changed their tops. They watched and played games while the rest were chatting until past 8 pm. Quite nice to chillax downstairs. Also a treat for the kids to stay up late. They all said they like BBQ!
Watch YeePo first, then complete takeover!!
On Sunday, the very last day of school holidays, Kai solved a 7-cube within an hour. He didn't read the instructions. Just used experience from his smaller cubes. We're all so proud of this boy!
Kai was also very happy with the cube :)
And so we're back in term time! Lots of cleaning this week coz I did only basic cleaning, i.e. toilets and floors and kitchen, while the two were home. Hope the kids have a good term!
