Dinner @ The Greenhouse, Ritz Carlton - Image Intensive Post

this is a post-Xmas and pre-New Year dinner with the Loke's family, Koh's family, Kenneth and Chun Yen. hey, last year we went to same place too.

Lobster!! ate quite a few. have to make our money worth right??

Ariel can't eat, can only suck the wrapped-up candy cane.

I love DESSERTS!!

$7+ coke.

how can I not love Lil Darling with her mega-watt smile??!!

some more desserts

poor plum. it did nothing, but still got bullied by Lil Ariel.

it's really hard to get all the kids to take picture together. this is the best I can get with all of them in one pic.

since Lil Ariel complained that we did not buy her any present, we bought her a Braun hand blender. well, she may not be able to use it herself, it's for her food.

I had been mashing her veggies and meat manually every weekend for the past few weeks. it's really tiring especially mashing those french beans and broccoli. so poor Ariel had to eat the same veggie and meat for the whole week. now with the blender, I managed to blend chicken meat, broccoli, french beans, potato, carrot and spinach in 2 days (1 day if the handle did not become very hot). she can have different combination of veggies everyday. moreover, Daddy found it so fun that he helped to blend too. of cuz, the washing up is still done by me.

HO HO HO!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

this is my first Christmas since I was born. Mummy and Daddy brought me to church to celebrate last night. actually last year they did the same also, just that I was still swimming in Mummy's tummy. see the picture, I was only 5 months in her tummy then.

... and look how much I've grown!!

at first I was very happy to see so many people around, but soon I got more and more sleepy. I want to take a nap, but there were too many things to see and people around me started singing, I don't want to miss that out. so I became very grouchy. eventually I was too sleepy to care about anything and fell asleep. actually Mummy had warned to take a longer nap during the day, but I refused to listen. bleah.

I love Grandpa!!

and of cuz Daddy and Mummy!!

I received quite a number of presents. most of them are clothes (I got more clothes than Mummy and Daddy) and toys from Granny and Grandpa, uncles and aunties. AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY FROM DADDY AND MUMMY!! HMPF!! I'm angry!! they went to shop for christmas pressies for uncles, aunties, kor kors and jie jies, except for me!!

anyway Daddy has been laughing at Mummy cuz she's going back to work next Wednesday. I've already adapted to not seeing Mummy around when I was in Granny's place. hope Mummy will enjoy her time at work. LALALALALALA

星 期 天

今 天 是 一 个 风 和 日 丽 的 一 天。我 和 爸 爸， 妈 妈 去 较 堂。我 们 也 有 去 吃东 西。妈 妈 要 去 工 周 了。

第 一 个 华 语

今 天 是 我 的 爸 爸 的 第 一 哥 写 之。我 的 爸 爸 的 华 语 很 里 害。我 今 天 有 出 去 可 是 没 有 喝 水。马马麻我，我 没 有 听。

lalalalala

been at Granny's place for 2 weeks already. things are fine for me so far. but that's because Mummy was with me all the time. next week Mummy will leave me there with Granny alone in the afternoon to allow me to accustom to not seeing her. she is also taking this chance to pack the stuff (cuz we're moving house soon) and going out with Auntie Kris and Auntie Huiling. poor Mummy did not have time for herself since I was born.

I've been talking, grumbling and laughing a lot these days too. the adults were so entertained by that. Granny says she could not handle me alone cuz I'm too active. so Great-Granny will look after me together with her till we got a maid.

Granny loves me!!

Daddy took leave today to send his car for servicing. silly Daddy asked the person to install the visor, in the end we waited for a long time to collect the car. I really enjoy going out with Daddy and Mummy!!

Ariel@Granny's place

we started to bring her to her granny's place on Monday.

man, it's tiring to wake up at five-ish in the morning and to get ready her stuff to bring over.

she was able to adapt to the environment quite easily (keeping my fingers crossed). first couple of days she was unable to nap long and rather afraid of Scooby. soon it was Scooby's turn to run away from her when she goes near him. she was not afraid of his barkings also. hopefully she'll be able to maintain that even I'm not around.

great granny, granny and grandpa were very entertained by her. I'm sure she'll be very well-loved by them.
