It was a pleasant surprise to receive a message from Jon Poelma (New Jersey) that he and Joe are in Singapore.A meet up is a MUST for an old friend. It was sad that Joe could not join us for lunch at Marche Vivo City as she has to spend time with her family.

Happy Birthday Princess Chloe

2009-04-27T13:24:00.002+08:00

24 April 2009

Held a party for Chloe at the Chinese Swimming Club function room in the evening of 24 April.Invited a few of my close girlfriends (and their children of course),Chloe's classmates from school. We were very honoured to have her godpa and a good pal from HK joining us in the celebration. Both of them flew in just for her party. Very sweet of them indeed.

We decorated the function room with helium balloons and scene setters. I even did a Personalised Cinderella Banner for her from States. For the table centerpiece, we tied 3 balloons to a PUMPKIN!Yellow balloons which had a sweet inside was thrown on the party area as well. I like the autograph table best with the 2 glass slippers bought by Hong Kong Grandma for Chloe.

Both her Yiyi and myself rented 2 Princess costumes to surprise Chloe. Although we were supposed to be princesses as well, we told her that we were her STEPSISTERS! It was a great party and all efforts was worth it when Chloe hugged me and said " Thank You Mummy for surprising me with such a wonderful party!" She told her Grandparents that she was SUPER HAPPY!

Thank you everyone for coming to the party and we thank you for all your royal gifts and we do hope all of you had as much fun as the children.

Met up with good friend Charmaine and her cute lil 2 years old daughter, Leia. Chloe was looking forward to playing with Leia from the moment I told her about Leia. Chloe actually remembered that she played with Leia at my friend's wedding dinner last year. We had dinner at Sakae Sushi and both girls finished their Chawamushi. Chloe's favorite.

13 Feb 2009-Gift From Aunty Margaret

2009-03-07T21:10:00.007+08:00

Received a parcel and to our surprise, it was a Christmas gift from Margaret in Canada.Chloe was surprised when she ripped open the parcel and found a lovely card which was written by Natalie. Told her that it an early birthday present when she exclaimed " hah, why is aunty giving me Christmas present now? It's not Christmas!" She loved the teddy and the Princess Wand which has Cinderella, Bella and Snow White saying their wishes and has this very magical tune to it.But after a month of non stop playing,it sure is not very magical to me now! But Chloe loves it and shows it off to all her friends in school the very next day after receiving it. Thanks Margaret. I really like the towels.

Dressing Up As ???

2009-03-05T11:09:00.008+08:00

No prize for guessing what the girls were dressing up... These photos were taken on New Year Eve in a close friend's house. We had a small dinner gathering and the children were entertaining us with their version of "Here comes the bride". They even came up with their own dance musical. Chloe was learning from the other big sisters and had so much fun that night.

Little Ballerina

2009-02-10T23:16:00.008+08:00

Chloe has been telling me that she wants to learn ballet and I finally signed her up for a once weekly Pre Ballet class with Crestar. Her 1st formal lesson will begin on Monday next week at 8pm for 45 minutes.

So today, I bought her to buy her ballet attire. She was so excited when we were at the shop and kept dancing like a ballerina by putting her hands up in an arch shape and tip toeing her feet.

The ballerina costume cost $80, which consists of a pair of socks (I thought they should be wearing stockings but was told by the lady at the shop that they will wear that when they are older), the pink bodysuit, a tutu,and a pair of ballerina shoes. Very costly costume though was told everything is imported from the UK.

She looked so adorable in the costume. Chloe is small but her little belly was protruding in the tight ballerina suit and I jokingly told her that she looks so "big". I hope Chloe will love ballet and excel in it.

@ Joshua 4th Birthday Party

2009-02-08T00:57:00.019+08:00

It was my classmate Bernice's son birthday party today.Joshua (birthday boy) turns 4.Chloe loves parties. She had her favourite Cinderella drawn on her arm and I have to promise her to draw a similar one everyday when she refused to take her bath for fear that her Cinderella will disappear. I took a photo of the drawing and just hope that I can replicate a similar one later.

Mummy little helper

2009-02-08T00:22:00.004+08:00

7 Feb 2009

It was a busy week with last minute orders for party bags and diaper cakes. Chloe is a great help these days. She loves pasting the sticker labels onto boxes/cups/bags and putting the individual items into the bags. We just love working together. What touched me most was when she comes up to me and volunteer to help. Our conversation will be

Chloe: Mummy, I help you.
Mummy: Chloe, I can do it myself. Thank you sweetie.
Chloe: But I want to help. Not fair. (walk away sulking with arms on her hip)
Mummy: Ok, you help me paste the stickers.

After pasting the stickers.....

Mummy: Ok, I'll take out the blowouts and you will put one into each cup.One each.
Chloe: Ooh... what is this? Little Einstein! My favourite. Is this extra?
Mummy: Sweetie, if there is any extra, I will give it to you. Quick, put them into the cups!

After finishing putting everything into the bags.

Chloe: Mummy, no extras!
Mummy: There are extras in the box. I'll give it to you later ok. So proud of you for helping me. So sweet.
And she will give me that sweet "so proud of myself" smile.

Yi Yi took this photo and when she showed it to me, I went " so cute, but don't look like Chloe". Don't you think so?

Big Kids Class-Nursery 2 at Growing Up Gifted

2009-02-02T02:05:00.003+08:00

2 January 2009

I was so proud of HRH on her first day in Nursery 2 class at GUG. She has been attending GUG since 20 months old. For about a year plus, I was attending classes with her as well. It was only in Nursery 1 last year that parents were not required to be in class with the children. Initially, she did not cry and I was so relieved on the first day. However, on the second day, she cried when the other children started crying for their parents. But I know my baby will adapt quickly to her teachers and after 4 days of crying, she became one of the most well liked student in her class.

Anyway, this year, she is in Nursery 2. Told her that she is in the big kids class now. The first time I see her in her uniform (GUG uniform- t-shirt in 3 colours- green,red and orange), I was actually fighting back my tears. Then I realised, she is no longer a baby. She is a BIG GIRL now. On her first day, she made me proud when she just gave me a hug and said "bye mum" and went right into her class talking to her new teachers and friends. A few of her classmates were clinging on to their parents and crying, refusing to enter the class. I am so proud of you little one.

Me and my Pink Handbag!

2009-02-02T01:49:00.009+08:00

How true that children modelled after the adults.Seeing mummy and auntie carrying bags when we go out, little one does the same too. These days, she carries her bag with her when she goes out (except for classes).She puts a princess comb,her yellow toy mobile phone (so that she can call our pet dog to ask him to look after her toys at home!) and her accessories-necklace,ring and watch!Looking at her, I just wonder what happened to my little baby. And wish she is not growing up so quickly.

26 January 2009

Chloe wore a pink Chinese top and white skirt when we attended CNY Mass but when we came home, she said the clothes made her very warm. She choose to change into this pink dress and was so happy posing with our pet dog. Did not managed to take a photo of her in the Chinese attire though. Will do so and repost it up here.

CNY Gathering with the Girls

2009-02-01T22:27:00.006+08:00

31 January 2009

Most of the time, people blog on a daily basis but for me, you will probably find me writing a week update,sometime maybe a month update on one day. But hey, this blog was created to keep HRH grandparents in Hong Kong and all her Uncles and Aunties around the world updated to start with. So I doubt they will mind the date the journal was written.

It has been years since we invited our closest girl friends to our home for Chinese New Year dinner. As far as I can remember, we have been getting together in our teens. So this year,we decided to meet again but this time, instead of just the girls, hubbies and children joined us as well. Chloe was so excited 2 days before the party and she enjoyed herself with her friends. I hope these kids were grow up to be the best of friends.

High Tea at Shangri-la Rose Veranda

2009-02-01T21:51:00.006+08:00

Just wanted to have a relaxing day today and decided to spend a leisurely afternoon with the family and Chloe. High tea at Shangri-la Rose Veranda was our choice.There were 102 premium tea blends for us to choose from and between us, we had about 11 different pots of tea. I had Magic Rose Tea,Sweet Honeybush,Spendid Earl Grey,Bai Mu Da and Melon Tea. The decadent dessert bar was Chloe favourite. She went straight to the Chocolate Fondue and had Marshmallows dipped in Chocolate. Of course,she not going to miss her chocolate ice cream. The only good food she had was bread stick and soup!At least she tried. Chloe loves drinking from the delicate fine china tea cup and said that she wants to come back again for tea although she was just drinking water from the tea cup.

A BRAND NEW YEAR

2009-01-27T01:12:00.003+08:00

A brand new year, a new home! What I mean is a new site where I can post unlimited number of photos of Chloe as well as start journaling virtually on her developments.

Like all new mummies, I diligently kept a journal during my pregnancy, recording all her Firsts-first laugh, first step, first vacation, first day in playgroup, nursery, and of course first time she said, “ Mummy, I love You cos you the Best Mummy in the whole world!’”. I pen these PRECIOUS MOMENTS in a decorated book just so that my little princess will be able to read them when she gets older. Unfortuately, I am unable to scan what I have written and post them here. But for all who have been following Chloe’s developments on www.ourpreciousmoment.com, you be glad to know that I will be keeping that site for now.

I know it sounds so cliché but 2008 went by too swiftly. Though I wanted to start this blog on the 1st day of 2009, I never got around doing it. So for the first day of the Lunar New Year (still a New Year), I wrote a huge reminder on my to do list to write something on this blog.

Well, it 2am and HRH is in dreamland while her royal maid is half awake thinking of what happen over the past year-2008. Okie, a quick summation- We started 2008 with Chloe being featured as one of the TMC Precious Tots in their 2008 Calendar. Subsequently, she was also selected by TMC to endorse the Child Seat Saves Little Lives Campaign organized by TMC, Volvo and Singapore Traffic Police. She was so fascinated to see herself appearing on TV, Bus Ad as well as Tissue Boxes. Chloe grew taller and she is able to express herself better with her growing vocabulary. She become even more independent and assertive too and has started to test our patience. She is active, adorable, loves her friends, very animated and a sponge of constant learning. And yes, she still carry her stuff Snoopy everywhere.

2009 will probably be a more trying period but I'm sure we'll survive. I did not make any new year resolution this year as I know I wouldn’t fulfil any of it. But I do have a wish that Chloe would finally start eating more solids in the year 2009. I made that wish since 2006 and am still wishing… Oh, and good health and happiness for all my loved ones around the world and to all of you who are reading this too!!

Well, I've rambled long enough and will add more later. Looking forward to keeping everyone updated! Here wishing all A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS OX YEAR!
