Pretty qiqi

I believe everyone has their own style of dressing up their children and their own set of prettiness of defination. Thats why some like to get this and some like that design. For me, this was the prettiest qiqi at her casual self which i bought the clothes for her. Fyi i hardly need to buy clothes as she got lots of hand down clothes and gifts.


I really like this match. Not too drama but look very sweet and a ballerina liked that she wore this she was so happy dancing around like this on top.


Then she go all posing around with her cute moves.



No need expensive clothes for children. She just look so cute and sweet like this

Its pizza time again!

Its pizza time again and decided to let qiqi do some diy cooking.


It was actually quite easy and fuss free. Just buy the ingredients and cut them in small pieces, then use ur imagination or preference and mix and match. Here is the end result. Bottom mine, middle qiqi and top is daddy's!


After 10 min of baking, we can enjoy the pizza.


Yummy!

Withdraw qiqi out of Letterland sch

It is with a heavy heart that in a few hours time, i will be submitting the withdrawl of school for Alicia from her Letterland school.


During alicia toddler years she went to kidzone for childcare but little emphasis was on the education. Most importantly was she was able to learn some discipline and life skills. Unfortunately she kept getting sick and we had to keep her at home which help and now she is almost declared asthma free. We employed sutikah and thing was pretty smooth till nursery 2 this early part of the year we had to put her bac and learn something. She went to pap then first skool but none of them the syllabus i was satisfied as she didnt learn anything at all. Until we decided on Enrichment classroom.


She quickly adapted over there and i cannot disagree the english and math syllabus was very good. Alicia was actually learning way beyond K1 now. She was actually of her future school syllabus.


Sadly the chinese syllabus was pretty weak thus we supplement with tien hsia. Without a doubt all the money was all worth it.


Every Monday we will look forward her taking art and crafts bac and we will paste them on the wall. She made many friends there and she will tell who she played with.


But coming to the end of the year, mummy have to start thinking and decide for Alicia. Sutikah contract is going to end and we will hv to raise her salary. Together with all the rising cost, we could no longer afford the luxury now we have. If we will to even stick on the current situation, mummy is hoping to get another sibling for Alicia and even with a maid, Alicia will still have to be in a childcare as its difficult to handle 2 children at 1 time. By then it will be too late to find Alicia a school as she will be K2 and childcares will be difficult to find.
We just have to make this decision now while there is still a seat for Alicia. Thus we decided to go for Agape just downstairs our house, since alicia was an infant, mummy has always wanted to put alicia in as the syllabus they provide are interesting but it was way too expensive thus we had to travel far just to put her in but after the calculations after 2 years we can afford now as it worth it if she can learn something over there. There will be complimentary enrichment classes provided like abacus, phonics, chinese speech and drama, gym stuff so all of them its pretty worth it.
With is impending change, we will loose sutikah, enrichment classroom and tienhsia. The current method which is working but soon to loose it because of financial problems. To be frank till now my heart is pretty heavy for this decision that i make.

God! Please dont let me make the wrong decision! Please Alicia love this school and make friends. Please let her learn more than what she does now. There is no turning back for us now . Please! Make it work! :(

A Brand New Year for Alicia

As Always, every single year after her birthday, I will make an effort to try to give the blog a new look so there you are... A Butterfly flower theme....

Happy 4th Birthday Post 3

This is the first time we celebrate Qiqi birthday together in her preschool. I remember last time when she was in Kidzone child care, I prepared some balloons and goodie bags but I can’t remember why I didn’t celebrate with a cake with her friends. This year I make sure she didn’t miss it as everytime she tolds me how she got goodie bag and celebrated for this friend’s birthday and etc, How she play “Princess or Mummy and Daddy” role play with another friend, I sure wana meet them and see them who they are too. This also gives me a chance to see how the teacher teaches them in the class.

To prepare this day, I went online Party City to get Hello Kitty balloons, plates and goodie bag, candles via overseas cause in Singapore it’s really expensive to get from the stores.

When Alicia was in her assembly with the other kids, she saw us in the classroom with cakes and goodie bag she was thrilled and showed off “Today is my Birthday.” The teacher brought them in the classroom and all sang a birthday song for her.

Let me introduce Qiqi class mates cum friends in school. Starting from the left

Mckayla, Darell, Levonne, MayZin, Kazel, Ashley, Daniel and not forgetting Teacher Ai Lin. These are her favorite friends at school that you can hear her talk about them sometimes out of the blue at home. It was a fun day with the kids.

After school, we brought Qiqi to an indoor playground and let her play to her heart contents and sure indeed we had a hard time persuading to move the 2^nd destination when the playground was closing.

Our next destination was Robinson, was something that I have been aiming for so long but Singapore didn’t import till few days before her birthday. It was like meant for her fated just before her birthday to reach Singapore. It was Leapfrog leappad. It’s a game controller that teaches educational games and looks like an Ipad. The games will let her learn phonics, math, alphabets and so many other things. It was a very good learning device that allows her to play and learn at the same time. After much decision, Daddy and Mummy decided to buy for her.

And finally the day ended at Swensen as Alicia wanted ice cream, showing off her present, we had an unforgettable and enjoyable day.

Happy 4th Birthday Post 2

外婆requested to hold a mini celebration for Qiqi’s birthday this year again. Everyone contributed some food and it ended up with so much food to finish.

啊姨 and 外公 decorated the house with balloons and Happy Birthday banner. We all have birthday hats to wear.

Baby Candice also starts to walk around and play with Qiqi.

Mummy also brought a new Princess dress for me and I love it so much.

To match my Hello Kitty theme I wore a white Hello Kitty blouse to match the dress. And of course the Hello kitty cake that I choose, we celebrated it with joy.

Happy 4th Birthday Post 1(Mummy Tots)

August 23^rd is one of the days I look forward every single year for Alicia, even my own birthday was not that important. I recalled when I was young, I long for a birthday party every single year and only when I was Primary 2 then I get to invite 2 of my closest friend over to my house for a mini birthday party. It was one of a childhood memory that I didn’t forget. The photos when you are young let u remember the good old days when we were celebrating and I hope to take this photos so she can remember how everyone loved her and celebrated her birthday. Birthday parties are a joyous event and never failed to make the birthday girl/boy smile when they blow the candles. Not only the birthday girl is happy, her friends are happy to receive goodie bags and presents. The joy and happiness from the children is something money and not enough time can’t buy. It was something worthwhile to make the effort and let everyone be happy. It’s a memory I hope to give her so she can remember that she have a happy childhood and flip through the photos and tell her how mummy and daddy loves her.

And of course from 3 years old onwards, Alicia is equally excited as me or maybe more excited than me that I don’t even dare to mention to her for worried she will feel sad when the day has not arrived. She can even remember her last year’s birthday having a Barney cake. This year she would like to have Hello Kitty cake thus mummy made a Hello Kitty theme for her. Since July she will ask me when her birthday is, and then I will tell her you have to wait for Jeijei’s birthday then Philip birthday then Mummy’s birthday then it’s your birthday. When it hasn’t reach, she will get sad, sometimes angry sometimes overjoyed as time its reaching… And she keeps asking me this question till finally August came and she starts to see me preparing her birthday party when I purchase her goodie bag items and birthday party things. This year she gets to celebrate twice with mummy’s family and another with her lettterland friends which I will blog in another post celebrated at her actual birthday.

It is also the day she was born and let me remember the day where from the time my water bag broke, feel the labor pains, unable to come out and in to the operation day. The first look when I see her is how much she looks like her daddy. It was a day I hope I will never forget. This year it Is also a year where all parents will say, “This few years of age is the happiest , wait till they grow older they will not even want you to be around“ Indeed you never fail to make me happy every single day which I hope you will prove the other people wrong and grow up still loving us like always like now.

And if one day, she would see this blog, I hope it will tell her all the interesting things she have done and never failed to thrill her mummy. I also hope to tell her to be a filial daughter, be respectful to elderly, be courteous, and most importantly study and work hard in whatever you do. Make sure every action you decide you do not regret, and even if you do, learn from it and do it better the next time.

Happy Birthday my precious darling.
