Sarah's First Passport Photo

after 2 days and countless attempts, we finally managed to snap a photo of sarah looking straight into the camera. normally she would gladly look at the camera when we are taking photos of her, but when we get her to sit up straight, she just couldnt stay still, constantly wriggling away like a worm.

the first day, we took her to the photo lab, but she was grouchy after 4-5 shots and started to cry, somehow, flo ended up shooting with the camera instead of the photographer! haha! it was getting close to her bedtime so we gave up and decided to DIY the next day instead.

today we sat her down in the living room, had to sing song to her, made hand gesture, called out her name, played her favourite barney, fed her food, and took many many shots. finally we got 1!

pigging out at tonkichi

went kitchenware shopping at takashimaya, out of randomness we picked tonkichi as the venue for our dinner.

taking time out, from the stressful moments on deciding where to eat, to take some photos.



there wasnt much of a crowd when we reached tonkichi and we got a table immediately. sarah was seated on a cute bright yellow baby chair, and started demanding for her dinner!

sarah goes to jurong hill

or rather attempts to go to jurong hill as she fell asleep on the way there. sarah likes to sit up straight and grab the handle bar by the sides whenever i am driving, i think she enjoys the view and ever changing scenery. however she can get pretty stubborn, flo noticed that she was nodding off while sitting and straight, so she decided to change sarah to a more comfortable position for sleeping, instead sarah protested loudly and insisted on sitting up straight. but five minutes later, she couldnt take it and succumbed to the sleeping bug.

pool time

its been a while since we made use of sarah's inflatable pool, the reasons being the unkind weather and her falling sick as well. today with the weather being so hot and humid despite the afternoon showers, we decided to let her have a dip in her pool for only the 3rd time!


her swim wear, which was wore only once before, has already being outgrown, as a result she had to go skinny dipping.

as usual, the dogs got excited whenever the pool is up and floating with toys and balls.

sarah goes shopping

or window shopping rather. didnt buy anything for her in the end. just some polo t for daddy.

a trip to bright hill

brought sarah to bright hill on friday evening to pay respect to her great grand father.

we managed to take some photos by the koi pond while waiting for brian to arrive. sarah seems overwhelmed to be able to take a picture together with daddy.



On the way to make offerings, we ventured past the high security tortoise pond.



an intimate mother & daughter moment, the loving mother wiping away the beads of sweat swelling on her daughter's forehead.
