Xuan Xuan is officially 4!!!!

30/3/08 (Sunday)

Wow! Xuan Xuan is officially 4 today! 4 years back, she’s still a baby and now she’s already a pretty toddler! Sometimes she makes me laugh and of course other time she upset me. I choose not to remember those sickly moments and opt to only remember those happy moments with her. I still remember how happy I was when I first become a mother. When I first hold her in my arms…When I first fed her, when I first saw her smiled, babbled, crawled, sit, walked, talked, her first tooth grew! All first! How wonderful for being a mother…

On this day, I remember my mother too! I finally have a taste of sweet and bitter of motherhood. I finally able to feel how much effort that my parents had put in, in raising me up! Even though I know I couldn’t say enough ‘thank you’ to them, I still want to say “Thank you, daddy & mummy & I love both of you very much.”

We don’t have a great & fabulous birthday party, but we had a warmth & lovely celebration. I always believe, a picture says a thousand words.
A birthday cake that can’t do without…of Xuan’s choice!

My 2 happy girls who are excited about the cake!


I wish my Xuan Xuan growing healthily & happily.
May she have all the strength to deal with the challenges.
Last but not least, May she have all the blessings!!

They are having some fun after the birthday song.


That’s my chicky Xuan Xuan!

Special Gift for Someone Special

20/3/08 Thursday (Public Holiday)

Sometimes is a real headache to think of what gift to give for someone special. I am sure you would agree with me. Guess who is the special one this time round??

Yes, is Xuan Xuan’s godmother (Kai Ma)-Erica. Is her birthday!! What to give! What to give! What to give!

After much thought, I decided to make my 2 girls hand-made this for their godmother.

As you can see, there are a Glue tube, 6 different Color Crystal Straws and a Transparent Board.

It is quite easy to made if your kids have the patience and you don’t mind them mess up your table & floor with those little crystal beads.

I applied glue on the transparent board, and my 2 little angels picked up their favorite colored crystal straws and start pouring it out on the transparent board. Yes, is that simple! Have a look at the photos…





Children got to have the patience... to slowly pour those crystals beads out on the small little transparent board. Is not really easy for small kids to do it, I would say…
I’m happy that my 2 little angels learnt the patience, learnt to wait for their turn, improving their hand-eye coordination during the activity. Good activity & great fun and most importantly - a meaningful gift (I think)!!! You might consider this the next round you have headache on choosing gift for someone special…

This is the final product – Not Bad huh!!! You can hang it near the window and it will shine like diamonds when sun shines through it – that’s what it says in its instruction…

Note: I decided to keep the messy part for myself :) ...

Thanks Erica!!!

I told myself I must record this down so that my 2 girls know how loving their “Kai Ma” is and to remind them to take good care of their godmother “Kai Ma” when they grown up. Hopefully my 2 girls are capable to take good care of their parents as well as their “Kai Ye & Kai Ma” when they grown up.

On this first Saturday of March, this friend of mine came back from Singapore. She rang me up in the evening saying that she & her husband wanted to visit my family. Of course I welcome them with my open arms even though I’m not feeling well. I had terrible flu & cough that time. It made thing worse when I accidentally overdosed myself with the little pink flu tablet. I slept almost the whole day until evening.

I organized myself a little before they reached. They came with these…

Their Christmas presents!!! *Ya…ya…I know is late…but sometimes really no choice…if not I busy, then she busy, sometimes my kids busy, sometimes her husband busy… in short, time fly, that’s the only reason my 2 sweeties get their Christmas presents now, anyway they are happy * Thanks to my dear fren!!

Kids are kids…How excited they are unwrapping the presents!!

Wow!! 2 lovely 100-pieces puzzle!!! Xuan Xuan & Wen Wen love it very much coz is Disney cartoon characters – Mickey, Mini, Donald etc… very lovely.

Xuan Xuan & Wen Wen started to mess up those pieces… and Xuan Xuan started doing it with little help from daddy. This is a great gift!! It creates family fun!!!

Although my Wen Wen is still too young to handle 100 pieces… Look at her satisfaction messing up those puzzles…


Thanks Erica!!
