The Responsive Baby

Baby Lewis reacts well to anyone who will coo with him..
He will go coo-ing and ah-ing and flash his mega-watt smile to anyone who will stop by to entertain him.
Seeing him grow well makes Mommy Me feel that the eventful pregnancy was worth it...
So long he is happy, everything is worth it... ^^

1/2 Century Concert Not to be missed

When we know that Jacky Cheung is coming to Singapore in August way before Lewis was out, we were very certain we had to go watch it.

How could we miss this concert by the God of Songs??!! Hahah, especially when he is now 50 years of age, we figured that we needed to go since he probably wont be able to hold anymore concerts liao... Furthermore, he was one of those we would realli want to go watch... ^^
It was initially 2 shows and in the end, due to the overwhelming demand, he added 3 shows and we watched the second last show on Monday- 29 August...
Check out the Singapore Indoor Stadium, it was fully seated too....
Can check out more news from this link on the concert!!!

It was really a night packed with powerful vocals and the charms of a 50 year old Jacky Cheung still linger in my mind... He is indeed worthy of the title : God of Songs... ^^

Restaurant Review - The Hamburger Shop

Mommy Me did not feel like cooking on Sunday evening since I did so on Saturday evening..
Ha, what an excuse to avoid cooking...
Just plain lazy and of cos tired.

I suggested going to Raffles City since I have some Capitaland Mall Vouchers to spend. Was thinking of getting some stuff for Lucas and Lewis from Robinson Store..

We settled for dinner at the Hamburger Shop. Actually there were many eateries and restaurants at the basement of Raffles City but we decided to eat hamburger since the place was not so crowded... ^^

Check out our food:

The children's set - Chicken Pesto Pasta
Daddy's super big burger
Mommy's pulled pork burger

Verdict: Service was great. The service staff was veli attentive and kept checking if we were ok. Food was nice but the portion was a bit too big so we felt pretty over-stuffed!!!

After dinner, we walked around and see who is lazing in the stroller!!!
While Lewis was settling happily in the sling... =.='''
A simple and nice way to end the hectic week... ^^

Food Review - Prima Instant Laksa

Mommy Me is trying to slowly resume cooking and instant or quick cooking stuff works best now when I have to manage the boys...

We bought a pack of this Prima Taste Laksa La Mian quite some time back when it was first launched. Was sitting in the dry food shelf and decided to cook it in the evening...
Ta-da, got some leftover yong tau foo from breakfast and added to the la mian...
As with other prima taste products, the taste is pretty close to the original Singapore laksa cooked from scratch. Of course, this takes a fraction of the time and still tastes as authentic!!! ^^

Jab Jab Day

Since Mommy Me was on 2 days of medical leave, I brought forward Lewis' jab so that I can be back in office on Thursday and Friday instead of childcare leave for both days...

Mommy Me played safe by using a face mask to avoid spreading my cough n flu to Lewis... He looked ok before his jab...

In fact, he had put on quite a good weight and looked happy...
Of course, the jabs set him brawling and tearing the clinic down... ^^

The lucky thing is he has no fever but both his thighs got orr-cheng... oops...

Relapse of Vertigo

Mommy Me started to feel that the world was spinning whenever I laid down to rest..
Sensing that my vertigo has relapsed, I went to see a doctor first thing in the morning..
True enough, the cough n flu n fever in combination had caused the vertigo to say hello to me again... =.='''

Given 2 days of mc and Mommy Me did not resist bargaining with the doctor cos I know this time round, I needed the rest more than anything and rested, I did...

Nice Food Makes Us Feel Better

Lucas was asking me if he could go for a haircut on Sunday cos he felt his hair was long... =.='''
I wonder if it was cos his brother got a haircut and he thinks he needed one..

Ok, off to Junior League, Toy'R Us, we went.. First, he got his haircut done...
Then we checked out the store...
In the end, he got himself a Skarloey..After his toy shopping spree, he said he needed a new pair of shoes.. Fainted, we walked here and there and could not settle for one...

Lucas was getting sleepy and Mommy Me got the stroller from the car and pushed him around while he napped.

Mommy Me was getting tired too and went into Brozeit and ordered lunch while waiting for Lucas to wake up...

Check out our conversation:
Lucas: Nice sausages, Mommy..
Mommy: Yes, the sausages veli nice.. We should bring Daddy here.
Lucas: Nice place...
Mommy: ya, nice food and nice place..
Lucas: Nice Food Makes Us Feel Better.
Mommy (amazed): Wow...Yes, Lucas..

He amazed me with his sentence construction and in perfect grammar... After lunch, we continued to hunt for his shoes...

Total Damage to Mommy Me for the Sunday: Close to $100...=.='''

Another Comparison

The thing about being a mommy is that you will keep looking at your boys and wonder how come they grow so fast... =.='''

Some days, I am in this dilemma that I hope they will grow up faster so that they are more manageable.. On days like this when I flipped through the old photos, again, I wish they do not grow up too fast else I will be missing the times that they need and stick to me.. Sigh...

What a weird situation I am in sia.. Anyone out there having the same sentiments as me??

Pray that everything will be smooth

Mommy Me will be home alone with the 2 boys as Daddy Sky has to fly to KL last minute for a trade conference... I hope everything will be smooth and manageable....

Bb Lewis is 4 months old!!!

Time realli flies when your time is fully occupied..
It seems only yesterday when Bb Lewis says hi to this world and he is already 4 months old..

We had a little ceremony like when Lucas reached 4 months... First the string of biscuits around his neck...
This little sleepyhead was dug out from his nap... Look at him... ^^
Then he also helped himself to the biscuits... =.=''' And he looked happy doing so too..
Next, we brought him to Vivo to do a formal haircut.. As usual, Mommy Me only snipped off a little hair at his full month. And we agreed not to shave him botak since we did not shave Lucas.. Ha, talk bout trying hard to be fair to both of them...
Ta-da, the neater Lewis.. Hmm, got resemblance with Lucas when he was a bb bo... ^^

In the eyes of a Daddy

In the eyes of the Daddy, his boys are always cute and adorable..

Despite them being noisy, mischievous or even unreasonable, Daddy Sky always exudes a unbelievable sense of patience with them...

Sometimes, I wonder if that is good or bad cos I always end up the bad guy aka the discipline master...

Daddy is the one who Lucas will run (guess Lewis will also do the same) to when Lucas want to hide from the cane-wielding Mommy... =.='''

Well, Daddy is always the care-giver at nights so that Mommy Me can get my beauty sleep..
Guess its not a bad deal bah...

Crepes, anyone??

Mommy Me loves to eat crepes.. In fact, I always miss the taste of the crepes in Tokyo, Japan.
Somehow, those found here are never satisfying at all..
Was it the weather or the ingredients used or the atmosphere??!!!

Anyway, for a change today, we had Bak Kut Teh for breakfast and instead of going Vivo, we went to Liang Court..

ps: So that NO GACHA for the obviously obsessed Daddy, Mommy & Lucas... lolx..

We had a slow walk in the Medi-ya supermarket and strolled up and down the aisles looking at all the merchandise.. After the walk, Mommy Me saw a small crepe stall and decided to take a break before hitting home...
Of cos, the one who enjoys it most and looks the most 'xiao hua mao' is none other than Lucas...
He enjoyed the Choco Strawberry Crepe!!!

The crepes were so far one of the best ones we had in Singapore but still a far cry from those in Japan...

Mommy Me secretly decided to save up so that we can all go to Hokkaido in 3 years' time.. Why 3?? So that Lewis will be able to enjoy himself better lor...^^

New Spokesperson for KFC ??

If KFC is looking for a new spokesperson, I think Bb Lewis will be a good choice..

He is into sucking his thumb and fingers and they must be fingers-licking good!!!
Wonder how I can stop him from sucking his hand cos everytime I pull them out, his screams will be heard... =.='''

SingKids

Some days Mommy Me wondered if I am out of my mind... hahaha, seems to be so.. Cos today Lucas' childcare centre is closed on eve of National Day and I brought Lucas to SingKids at Vivo..

And it is really physically challenging for ME!!! In fact, with my cough, I felt I almost dropped dead from following Lucas on the running and climbing...

Check out the photos of the place:
The aspiring captain..
The jumbo slide...
Having tons of fun playing with balloons...

The slide...
My fav part of the place cos I kept sitting on the bear's lap...
Verdict: Nice place but small though.. And Mommy Me is exhausted now but strangely, Lucas is still playing with his toys with NO NAP!!! =.=''

A Smiley Baby

Lewis is a smiley baby.. He loves to smile..
When I am blue, he always makes me feel better by flashing his signature smile... And I will be smitten... ^^

Of cos, when he is not on his smiley mood, the terror in him will be released!!!
And that's when Mommy Me will scream for help....=.='''

Breakfast @ Moo Grill Bar

Lucas has been tagging along with us for breakfast coming to months.. Mommy Me has already ran out of ideas what to eat.. Since there were new eateries opened near Amoy Food Centre, Mommy Me decided to check out this Moo and Grill Bar.

They serve breakfast and though only 4 items, it already caught my attention cos of their decor:
High ceiling with a nice ceiling lamp and a painting that is soothing to the eyes.
A big mirror to give the brain an artificial impression that the place is big...
Simple yet comfy white chairs to make the place looks neat and comfortable.
But the serving of the food is abit on the slow side. We waited about 15 minutes for our food.

This is my egg benedict..
And Daddy Sky's Pancake and Saugages..
Of cos the one happiest to be having breakfast is...
How can a breakfast be considered complete without a nice cup of coffee??
We stood outside to check the menu for a while and Daddy Sky was already keen to go back cos he saw that a rack of lamb cost only $28. Yes, we will be back cos the food and atmosphere is good..

The Search Continues

Since Mommy Me was bringing Lewis to his play gym @ Harbourfront, I stole some time to go gacha some more Thomas & Friends miniature toys for Lucas...

After spending $21 and getting funny stares from other children, Mommy Me managed to get him the Chocolate-covered Percy... That is like 7 capsules and 2 with a character. The other 5 were all tracks, turntable, coal tower, etc...

Anyway, I still have 1 Henry and it is kept away just in case, this coming Sunday, if we do not get any character, we can still surprise him bah...

At least, these $3 toys can make him feel real happy and I must say the Japanese are really good at making this little toys which is pretty much the same to the bigger versions.. And of cos, they take up lesser space... Woots... ^^

My Sleeping Prince

Sometimes I wish I am a baby like Lewis.. He can sleep practically anywhere...including his play gym class... =.='''

Yes, this was taken after 30 minutes of play gym time and Lewis just slept on the spot..
Despite Mommy Me trying to wake him up, he continued to be in his lalaland and only woke up at the last 5 minutes of the class taking a snooze of 15 mins... =.='''

Sometimes I wonder if this is considered a blessing...
