Courts @ Tampines

We went to Courts to get our printer ink cartridge today, I needed to print the downloads for Kyrell's flash cards soon! Heh...
After the purchase, we went to Courts cafe to have our lunch. I ordered a laksa while QT bought himself some sort of 菜饭 dish and we have fish & chips and soup to share. I am not exaggerating but the queue was reallllllly slow moving, I think QT was away for about 20mins and it wasn't even crowded!! So the dishes finally came, manz it wasn't worth the long wait, my laksa sucks! Friends who knew me should know that I am no fussy eater but this standard is way below acceptable :( The rest of the food is so-so too.. I don't think I will ever go back for food again.. disappointing.

While waiting for QT and our food, Kyrell busied himself with his own snacks - cheerios, bread and tomato biscuits!!


"Mummy, this is yummy!"


"Stuffed into my mouth so I can have more!"


"Down with some water..."


"Errr... I think I had abit too much"


"I think I better rest for awhile first"


"Time break and take pix with mummy"
Do we look alike?! Gotta admit that Kyrell does look like a girl in this pix hehe..


"Now I am going to have my cheerios!"


"It feels good to self-feed myself with the cheerios heee"


"Do you want some?"


From here, we went to my hair dresser (whom I have been going since about 11 years ago) to have our hair cut - that of Kyrell and mine. Kyrell did not cry one bit, was very obedient, good boy!

Dempsey + Botanic Gardens

We went to Dempsey for our lunch today, I kinda missed that place, it reminds me of Australia. We like the pizza and pasta from "California" so we went back there again. This is our 3rd time here hehe...


A 8 months old Kyrell here, still no teeth (2 budding at the bottom row), can't walk or talk and just started to eat more solid food...
(in 17 Aug 08)


Same restaurant, same seat but my baby has grown alot bigger now, here's Kyrell at 17 months!

Kyrell is definitely showing more of his personality now, whether he wants or do not want something, like this picture, he wants us to let him wear his cap in the restaurant hee... :p


Gotcha baby! :)


His lunch...


Our lunch - Pizza


Pasta


And dessert (hot fudge mud cake, yummy!)


He fell asleep shortly after his meal and that means I can have some peace finishing up my lunch and I even ordered a piece of mud cake for myself! Then we carried him to the car and decide to make an impromptu decision to visit the Botanic Garden! Other then attending my cousin's wedding 4 yrs back, I have never been there.
While there, we saw this lake where there were fishes, tortises and swans swimming in it.. the swan, obviously know that there is food from us, swam up close and looked at us, expecting us to throw in some food! So we took out Kyrell's bread and have Kyrell fed him. Kyrell was scared at first, did not know what to do, called mummy and looked at me a few times, so I hold his hand and taught him to throw his bread into the lake. He got it eventually.

Ferris Wheel

Daddy doing the ferris wheel with Kyrell, see how excited he was!

Bread & Cheese

Kyrell is no fussy eater but there are still some food that he does not like ie banana and cheese.

When he was younger, he used to eat banana though not often then one day, he just decide to say "mai" to it!! We don't know why, maybe that one time we gave him, there is a funny smell to it??! Since then its been Maiiiiiiiiiii

Cheese, I have mixed it in his pasta when he was 10-11 months old, he was ok then. I thought he liked it so I went to get those party cubes, gave him alone as it is, he doesn't like it :(

I would love my baby to grow up eating a variety of food, thank god he loves his greens, so cheese is one food that I would want him to try accept again. This morning I decide to make some cute bread+cheese to entice him, using the bento cutters which I have just received 2 days.

Nothing fanciful, just some star/heart/cross shapes and face for a start :)



Just called home to ask my mum about his reaction, he wants the bread all right (he loves bread!!) but not the cheese, he was hesitating when he took the bread+cheese so my mum just stuffed the whole thing in keke...no chance to think baby!

Bento Moulds & Cutters + Flash Card Time

I have finally collected my bento moulds/cutters!! They were placed sometime in Mar (www.cakediy.com) and I am glad that the long wait is all worth it. Aint they cute? I hope I can start my bento project soon :)



The 2nd week into flash cards, here's some clips on how Kyrell is performing so far :)
I need to improve on my speed of flashing though hehe...

Baby Giselle's 1st Month

My cousin Jojo gave birth to her 1st girl last month on 25 Apr. Baby Giselle celebrates her 1st month with family and friends at Serangoon Garden Country Club over a buffet dinner. The function room was spacious and because there wasnt't a overly crowded list of guests, it was very warm and cosy. Kyrell was thrilled to see his beloved 舅舅 and with some many kids around, he got excited in no time! He had dinner first before we let him off his stroller... then it was running and screaming all the way :p

Here's a clip of nephew 旭恩 kissing Kyrell


Kyrell chasing after the older cousins despite not being able to run yet..poor boy, kept crying for 旭恩 kor kor but says "姐姐" instead :p

Chef In Making??

Finally had the time to fix up the cooking/kitchen set I bought a week earlier.
Kyrell don't really know what to do with it but was opening the oven door and taking the plates/cups/pans/cutleries in and out.

PS : Please pardon Kyrell for not wearing his clothes, he was in his pj and feeling hot so I undressed him and let him play awhile more hehe...

Kyrell : 1st, open the lid


Kyrell : then pour the water and ingredients in


Kyrell : stir abit


Kyrell : let me add some extra 料 in hehe..


Kyrell : lower the fire


Kyrell : let me stir them thoroughly.. almost done mummy!


Kyrell : 好了，please come and try my soup :)

BBQ

We had a BBQ held at a condo in Sengkang, thanks to one of our Dec'07 mummy for helping us book! Its been awhile since most of us had one, not with bb now anyway..
It was drizzling 2 hrs ago so the weather was cooling - PERFECT!
We bought the items/food at Hougang Point NTUC then went straight to set up the place.
