The Singapore Airshow 2014

Awesome stuff. We went down to have a look see. The girls enjoyed themselves a lot .. Lol.

Charlotte looks a bit maniacal handling that gun on the helicopter, doesn't she?  Lol.

More pics of Charlotte and her birthday cake ..

Yes, she chose the cake design herself. Had it been up to me, it would've been a nice Disney Princess cake .. but nooo, The Daddy brought her to the cake shop and had her look at the designs so she could pick one herself ..

And she chose Diego. *sigh* Not Dora .. but Diego. The BOY cartoon character. LOL. Anyway, she was really happy with her cake .. and she got to wear the tee I got her from Gymboree.com.

The new year begins ..

OK, so I've sucked at blogging these past few months. Been busy with the girls. And school. And generally being the chauffeur in the family. Here are some pics taken in Jan and Feb so far.

Charlotte turned 3 in January. Claudia turned 15! My gosh. That makes me 40. Bummer, man. I'm old. Lol.

Chatty baby

While we didn't plan on having Baby No. 5 - and then we did, we have found Charlotte to be an absolute joy. Ok, not saying that had she been a difficult baby we would've have regretted it (lol) but it sure makes it easier when she's such a ray of sunshine most of the time.

She doesn't have bad moods. And she's really chatty and intelligent. At 2.5, she can pretty much hold a decent conversation. And she asks clever questions to boot. Today, as she was holding onto her My Little Pony figurine, she asked me how come the pony only had one eye. The figurine was made such that her mane fell over one eye this making it look like she was one-eyed. Since the mane was also made of moulded plastic, you couldn't just sweep it over the other side to reveal the hidden eye. 

I explained as simply as I could and just prayed she would either get it or drop the topic altogether. Lol. 

Here is my cutie. 

Charlotte is growing up

My bestie keeps saying that for an accident baby (we hadn't planned on having a fifth baby), Charlotte is a real cutie. And very easy to handle. And smiley. And clever. Lol. What can I say, I'm her mom. I'm bias.

At just past 2 years of age, she can say a lot of things. And she's cheeky too. And she loves singing along to Kelly Clarkson in the car. 

I can still remember first finding out I was pregnant again. I had suddenly felt nauseous for no reason. I instinctively knew I was pregnant and quickly did the math AND a pregnancy test. Bingo. Lol. I totally blamed the stupid app I had on my iPhone that was supposed to tell me when my fertile days were so I could avoid getting knocked up. Didn't work out that way obviously. Lol. 

Here is a pic of my cutie pie and me. 

More of the school holidays ..

We also took the girls to our favorite place .. The zoo. Ok, it's not really MY favorite place (who am I kidding) .. But I know the girls enjoy it and that's good enough for me.

They watched the elephant show and we had a good time trudging along w The Daddy as well.

The new S.E.A Aquarium at RWS.

The Daddy brought his girls to the new S.E.A. Aquarium at the Marine Life Park on after church last Sunday. It was very exciting. We parked at the Palawan Beach Carpark and hopped onto the beach tram which the girls enjoyed.

Here we are waiting to enter the aquarium :)

It's a really awesome aquarium. Apparently, the world's largest.

The girls were of course intrigued with the Discovery Touch Pool.

I don't have a photo here (cos my phone was dying at about that time ...) but my favourite was Zone 5 .. the Open Ocean .. where you look through what they tout as the planet's largest window to the ocean. It is indeed MAGICAL to see it all. Leopard sharks ... the magnificent manta ray .. you have to see it yourself.

Last photo of The Daddy and his girls before leaving. We will be back again !!
