Aunt Margaret and Uncle Fong finally tied the knot today!
Yes, it was their big day and C, together with Dallas, was the flower girls for the occasion. Both of them arrived early and were transformed into pretty little things.
Grand Daddy and Grand Mummy were thrilled beyond words! :)
Our relatives from across the border also graced the occasion.
Uncle Fong arrived shortly and was warmly received.
When C heard that we had a pack of Hello Kitty instant noodles, she was intrigued. Then she asked to see it. I told her that this noodles came from a faraway place and it is not sold in Singapore. She thought for a while and then asked if we had been to that place and I said that we had, twice in fact.
Then she exclaimed very loudly, "Is it Hong Kong?" Yes, this little thing did come from Hong Kong and I didn't have the heart to eat it because it was so cute.
Once the pack of noodles was opened, C peered inside and saw that there were many tiny "Hello Kitty"s inside!
Some hot water and 3 minutes later, the noodles was ready.
Our Baby enjoying her noodles. This was the first time she tried instant noodles and I gave her the noodles without the soup but she liked it all the same.
Daddy handed me a tiny coupon this morning and said, "Big Mac is on the house!" So when I related to C the news, she was grinning and immediately commented that we would be having lunch at MacDonald's.
Yeah, there is no place like MacD's to cheer up any kid.
C enjoying her meal. We had to share the Big Mac because there was no way any of us could finish it on our own.
Our Precious, painstakingly picking out their lettuce.
Then of course, no trip to MacD is complete without sundae.

It's been ages! 3 years to be exact, that we haven't seen each other.
Aunt Kavita is expecting and she will be due in December and since it is the holidays, we thought we could do a little catching up. We had brunch and we tried out this fairly new eatery near our University.
Aunt Kavita ordered St Benedict.
Daddy had Cowboy,
Cheryl had french fingers with maple syrup and
I had a platter of sausages!
The food, especially Daddy's steak was very delicious and definitely worth every penny. :)
C's happy face said it all. :)
A picture is worth a thousand words. Congratulations Aunt Kavita and Uncle Gooch!
It was a difficult decision to make but C told us that she would go for the enrichment class with her classmates. The theme for the enrichment class was Carnival Extravaganza and it stretched for a good 4 days.
She was given a "ticket" for her daily admission to the Carnival.
Then for the next few days, C returned with the many types of food she made.
There was a fruit and marshmallow dessert, a slice of pizza.
She also made this banana sandwich which she had for dinner and some chicken satay.
C's favourite. This muffin packed treasures! After the muffin was eaten away, she had balls of chocolate inside the cone.
What's a carnival without games?
There was this fishing game she created. It came complete with a self-made fishing hook and fishes.
Then there was this ball-rolling game too and a mask.
And tic tac toe!
Her teachers also took some pictures of her in action during the 4 days:
C learned this from her teachers at Sunday School. We first heard her sing it in the car and Daddy asked her if it was the Lord's Prayer. :) She nodded her head and then went on to belt out the song again.
Some words aren't really audible but we are sure she will improve with time. But the good thing is, her teachers also taught her to sign. :) I know some sign language myself so I was able to make up what she was doing. I guess, we could learn the language together in the evenings.
Daddy took some time off from work and after we picked C up from her class, we headed off to Changi Airport for lunch. Yeah, these are the little treats C gets when both Daddy and I are at home. :)
There were some interactive stations around and C and Daddy spent some time on them.
Guess what? We got a ticket for a go-kart ride! Nope, C isn't tall enough to ride it yet and I guess it will be Daddy who will. We are thinking of roping Uncle KW in... Hee. Dinner, Uncle KW?
At $40 per ticket, Daddy and I found the price a little too steep initially but after we attended our first concert, we were thoroughly impressed with the children, the teachers and of course C.
Victoria Concert Hall was where the concert took place and with a venue like this, standard was definitely set high.
Cheryl with Daddy just moments before we reached the place.
And then, at the entrance, we saw Regina, C's friend.
The School was very thoughtful because photographers were called in the day before during the rehearsal to take close up pictures of the children.
The stage
The Finale!
Daddy and I enjoyed the show immensely and we were so proud of all the children. :)
I have taken a video of C's performance but will have it uploaded another time.
Life as a mother is truly an experience of a kind. Being married in itself is a blessing already and now, having a family of our own... It is like icing on a cake.
