My daughter is growing up so fast!!

She called me on the phone while I was at work yesterday. I called home earlier to inform my folks that I'll be back late for dinner. Yee Sinn must have played with the phone and pressed the last number redial button.

My desk phone rang and when I picked up the phone, I was pretty surprise to hear her voice.

Our little conversation went something like this:

Me : Hello

Yee Sinn : Hello. 你好！Ma Ma?

Me: 你好. 你是谁？

Yee Sinn ：逸心

Me:你吃饱了没有？

Yee Sinn ：饱了

Me:你乖古乖？

Yee Sinn : 乖

Me: Have you been a good girl?

Yee Sinn : Goooo girl.

Me: What did you do today?

Yee Sinn: Jump! jump jump Mama! Jump Mama!

Me: Ok Yee Sinn, Mama has to work kay?

Yee Sinn: Kay? Kay? Kay?

Me: Where is Ah Ma? Call Ah Ma here.

And then I heard my little girl calling Ah Ma to come to the phone. That was when Grandma Lee figured out Yee Sinn has been playing with the phone.

We spent the Saturday afternoon with the sun, the sand and the sea at Sentosa. Seems like our little girl is a water baby. She really enjoys herself when in the water. When we were changing her into her swimsuit, she pointed to the beach and kept saying " I wan go swimming poo.... I wan go swimming poo..." Guess to her, "pool" means a place with lots and lots of water. Am thinking of we should bring her to the swimming pool tomorrow evening as well....

The weather was terribly hot so after applying sun block, I just sat next to Yee Sinn with my umbrella while she digged to her heart's content. Here's a picture of her seated on an inverted pail with a huge hole we helped her to dig.

I was on leave yesterday. Hubby took the car so I was a bit immobile but nevertheless, our little girl and I had quite a bit of fun. After the usual lunch and her afternoon nap, we took a bus ride to the National Library. She was initially a little reserved as she was used to visiting the Toa Payoh Community Library. But after awhile, she became pretty excited at the children's books section. Yee Sinn went around "exploring" the different genre of books at different shelves and kept showing me different books with great excitement. She even made friends with other kids there.

Found out that the National Library has quite a decent range of toddler and pre-school books. But the board books range were pretty sorry as compared to the Toa Payoh branch. We'll return for another visit soon... this time maybe with her Papa so that he can help us to luge our books home.

We didn't have an umbrella with us when it started to drizzle after our Saturday breakfast nearby. So we improvised and made do with a plastic bag. That's innovation! *Grin*

I was away on a shopping trip with a girlfriend last Friday. We booked ourselves a flight to KL via AirAsia... It cost us only $44 for a return ticket. It was indeed a big damaged to our pockets as we went around our shopping spree. The highlight of the trip was a spa treat that we gave ourselves at the end of the day to loosen our tired muscles from all that walking and shopping. The service was excellent. Oh yah, I hand carried back 4 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts for CW! It was a blackmail cos I had to trade donuts for the children's books that I got him to buy. After all the efforts, I do hope he'll enjoy them... HE BETTER! WAHAHHAHAHA.

Brought our little girl to MacRitchie yesterday after Grandma Chang's. She had a super long nap at Grandma Chang's place so we thought it would be good for her to burn some energy running around. Both Hubby and I had loads of fun playing football with her. Here are some photos.. wished I had changed the camera settings to get a sharper picture.

We decided to head down to the mall yesterday afternoon as the weather was terribily hot. The air-con at the shopping centres was a huge relief. Since we'll only be going to Orchard Road, we decided to take the train instead. We have been doing this ever since we moved in to Toa Payoh even though we now have a car. It's only a short ride with 3 train stops away from where we stay. Also, it saves us the grief of looking for parking, paying for carparks and getting stuck in a jam.

Yee Sinn enjoys her ride with the public transport. So yesterday, we decided not to confind her in her stroller. Instead, we let her walked on her own and even took the opportunity to teach her to stand behind the yellow lines and let the alighting passangers alight first before boarding.

Yee Sinn is such a lucky girl. She is only 20 month old and already has her own Barbie doll. It was a gift from her grand aunt. Unfortunately, she didn't really show much interest in it as compared to her Gundams. Wondering if she'll grow up to be an engineer considering her fascinations with robots and gadgets.... only time will tell.

Grandma Chang bought a $2 ticket for Yee Sinn to attend RC's children's lantern festival gathering. So on Saturday evening, I put up the LED light into her lantern and off we went. It was a simple affair as compared to the welcome block party for the Blk 79 residents that was graces by Minister Ng Eng Hen.

The lantern party ended after an hour or so. There were quite a few kids from other races that took part. We were looking out for Yee Sinn's playground friends but none of them turned up. Here's a picture of our little girl being carried by her Papa with all the other kids.
