sarah 's 1st mother's day celebration

sarah experienced her first mother's day celebration with us yesterday, papa brought the family out to for some shopping at vivo city, followed by dinner.

she was in a good mood, constantly making monkey faces while we were trying to take photos with her.


this is how expressive she can be, hundreds of expressions within seconds.


this was taken while we were making our way to the cable car station. upon reaching vivo city, papa suddenly suggested taking the glass bottom cable car for fun and so the family went to join in the queue for tickets at harbourfront tower.

heres papa acting cool while waiting in the queue for the tickets


thankfully, even though there was quite a long queue at the counter, we didnt have to wait that long to get onto the cable car. However, the glass bottom cable car turns out to be nothing be a overhyped gimmick, not much of a difference from the normal cable car, we could bearly see a thing from the floor board as the cabin was so squeezy plus the glass bottom itself had to many scratches to allow us to have a clear view.
the initial launch of the cable car from the harbourfront tower was quite scary, the cable car made a sudden acceleration and when it left the building, there was a sudden drop, as it was going to drop into the sea! sarah got a shock as well! but she seems to have recovered fast and was soon taking in the view happily.

the trip was an enjoyable one as the view was good, however, they should install an aircon in the cabin to make the trip more comfortable especially on hot days like this. sarah's head was dripping with beads of sweat midway through the journey. frankly speaking, we couldnt wait to get off the cable car when we finally made the round trip.



after the ride, we made our way to vivo city, walked around the baby clothes stores and after searching high and low, we managed to find a dress for sarah to wear on her birthday! we both like the design and the fabric of the dress very much and decided to buy it even though its was quite expensive.

as the branch at vivo did not carry the size that we wanted, we had to make our way to the great world city outlet to make the purchase. after which, we proceeded to nirai kanai for some okinawan dinner.

over at nirai kanai....

sarah has developed this bad habit of wanting food whenever we eat, she enjoys eating way to much and doesnt know when to stop. when she doesnt get food when we are eating, she will be yelling away loudly.

looking happy after mummy gave her some biscuits.


heres our dinner spread, although the quantity of the food doesn't look too much, our stomachs were near to full stretch by the time we left the restaurant.

sarah goes to bottle tree village

went to bottle tree to celebrate KY's birthday. took the opportunity to bring sarah around the vast outdoor kampong area of the restaurant, which is something of rarity in land scarce singapore.


her eyes looking puffy in the below photo as she barely slept the whole day, when she finally decided to sleep, it was time for us to leave for dinner. understandably, she wasnt very happy about it, so she complained via the only way she knew, crying.




she was looking attentively but solemnly at fishes, prawns, people as we wandered around the compound. its was only when she sat on the rocking 'frog' that she finally smiled!
one of her recent milestone is the ability to clap her hands, she does it vigourously whenever she sees the opening sequence of barney and upon hearing its theme song!

got into the restaurant and realised that air con was 'genting' cold, luckily we had brought along her new jacket, mummy flo excitedly put on the jacket for her and pulled on the hood. not for long though, she no longer like having anything on her head!

sarah goes to the zoo

the family was invited to the zoo by the wongs, we managed to get in free using mr wong's corporate pass.

its was a hot day, which is the norm of late, luckily for us though, the skies opened up for a while and made the trip more enjoyable.

here's sarah trying on the safari hat at the zoo's gift shop.

it took sarah a while before she realised the presence of the animals around her, she was visibly excited whenever she saw the bigger animals.












we took about 4 hours to complete the zoo, all of us were aching by then. too bad she is still too young to enjoy the aqua playground. we have decided to bring her again when she is three, she should be able to enjoy the zoo more by then!

below are some nice shots of sarah taken by hw,

Gone gallivanting

brought sarah for her first visit to cck cemetery to visit grandma, after which we popped by united square to try to find a float for her. wanted to get her those arm float, in the end we bought her a vest float. thought of bring her for a swim today to try out the new vest, but she woke up feeling a bit under the weather. so i guess we just have to wait till she gets better!







she got to enjoy her first joy ride, just came into mama flo's mind when we walked past it after visiting the supermarket, so we popped in a dollar and put her in. she got a bit startled by the vibrating at first, but soon she learned to enjoy the motion!

First trip to the pool

brought sarah to her first swimming trip at the amk pool. the weather was wonderful, sunny but not scorching. she was very excited the minute we dippped her feet into the pool, kicking away happily!
