Dec 2009: Fun @ Polliwogs

Had fun at Polliwogs with Aloysius, posing above with my primary school mate, Felicia - friend for more than 20 years now. These are friends that I cherished and we can talk about anything and still feel very much at ease even when we meet ie. once or twice a year.

Recent Hair Cut

To get Samuel to have his haircut is a very torturous affair for him. Everytime we pass by the barber, we will 'pyscho' him 'want to have cut hair?', his default reply would be, "Don't want!" If we attempt to step in, he will be crying even before we set our foot into the salon, sigh! Last Saturday was the utimatum, his hair is simply too long and needed a cut. We brought the portable dvd player and loaded in Barney vcd in, still....he cried through the hair cut! At least less tears than before and he don't fidget but sat on daddy's lap crying thru' the session.

Neater right? We deliberately still keep the 'curly' tail behind, find it so cool!

His current favourite dvd

Thomas & Friends! These are the few characters he recognised and among these, he likes EMILY the most...which really surprises us! :) Opposite Attracts?

Random Pixs - Oct 2009

Haven't been blogging much lately, my dear son down with flu & cough for 6wks, still not recovered. Brought him to PD again and got a referral to do a chest X-ray, concerned that excessive cough might not be good for his lungs. Thank God that the result turns out well - lungs cleared, but he is still on medicine now, ate so much medicine for 6wks until he is 'addicted' to it. :( Will resort to TCM if this last addition of medicine don't works for him. Blame the haze...last yr this time, he also down for several weeks due to haze!


1st attempt of homemade ABF for him(after seeing SY made it for Shawn), he loves the sausage, scrambled egg ok but baked beans ...no no!




Samuel can fix a 12pc puzzle by himself...way to go boy!! I have many more sets of jigsaw puzzle waiting for him to complete...including Bob the builder and Thomas & Friends!

Enjoying picnic & kite flying at West Coast Park

2nd Birthday Celebration

We had a small birthday party with my family today, Samuel was thrilled and seemed to know abit more about birthday and could say 'happy'. How time flies...he is turning 2 in 10 days time. Am amazed at how fast he has grown and thank God for his good health and happy nature.

I Love CAPS

When Sam was younger, he hates to wear caps. As he grow older(& more 'vain' I think), he loves wearing his caps, strange eh! He will cry if you try taking it off his head unless we reached home. It's hard to find nice and fitting caps for him, if any of you know where, let me know.
