All in a day

Meg has received the very 1st certificate in her life! She had passed her ballet exam =D Haha..... actually there's no grading in pre-primary level but still I was anxious no end. In fact, her ballet teacher took the exam very seriously and held very high expectations of her brood. I am so extremely proud of her.

As a reward, Ken and I brought her to watch Disney on Ice : Pixar's Finding Nemo. If you read my previous post, you'll know that I was trying to sell off the tickets for Thursday as Meg had ballet practice. I was pretty disgusted with the people on Yahoo Auction, they actually offered to buy the $150 worth of tickets at $60! It's so ridiculous. I know I have to make a loss but at least offer me a reasonable price. But thank God for aunty Jac, out of the goodness of her heart, she bought them off me and even paid the original price of the ticket. So with that, I bought new tickets for Friday. Meg totally enjoyed herself! She was shooting questions throughout the entire show.

And in the night, I met up with my colleagues and my DBB darlings in Dragonfly. We took so many photos that it took me forever, sorting them out and uploading them. My darlings were there way earlier because Kelly wanted to go to Powerhouse to support her friend in the Cleo's Bachelor finals. But as I have no personal agenda (it's a major turn-off for me to see guys with their heads up in the clouds) and I don't want to be pushing through throngs of girls in the pursuit of their hunks, I opted to meet them later.

But it seems there were a couple of events in St James that night and the place was packed! It took us more than an hour before we finally stepped into Dragonfly. With the exception of Stella and me, the group had wanted to abandon the queue and go for a movie instead. However in the end, they still waited with me because they knew how much I was looking forward to it. Hee~~ Love you guys!

It was the first time my colleagues met the DBBs and they were in for a huge culture shock! They were not used to our wild partying and besides I don't know what got into their system that night, they were crazier than usual :p Haha.... but thank goodness they soon got used to it and started having fun too.

It was there, we learnt that Devils Bar is closing down this month and we probably might arrange one last night there to reminisce. You know how they say that night spots are bad places but Devils Bar did give me the few most important things in my life. Afterall that's where my tight friendship with the girls were formed and that's also where I got to know Kenneth.

Meg's teacher doesn't allow the parents to tie the girls' hair for the exam so we have to bring them down early to let the professionals do it.

Here's Meg all ready for the first exam in her lifeWith Isabelle who's also her classmate in St. Hilda's Kindergarten
The ballerinas posing for pics and one final practice before the exam They had a party after their exams to reward them for work well done I'm such a proud mother! Finding Nemo My sweeties
Meg loved the way they tied her hair for her examI thought I looked strange in this photo and insisted on another one
Haha ...... She thought I was troublesome and posed unhappily after that

In Dragonfly with my beloved colleagues (Grace & Stella) who will be leaving us soon

My darling Ken Ken was labelled a camera whore in Miko's blog. Not that I blame her! :p

(1) Miko got this down as evidence

(2) His face perked up when he saw the girls were getting ready for a photo

(3) He quickly moved closer and conveniently positioned himself

(4) Ta...Da.... Mission accomplished. The girls didn't even know he was in the frame till they were reviewing the photo later. Haha~~

I love him soooo much!

Here's Kelly trying to make a grab at Ken's butt

Hee hee~~~ Mr. camera whoreWith sweet sweet Stella Stella & Zijian

My DBB darlings who waited a long long time for me that night
Pretty pretty babes!

My little sister

Erykca was on the front page in yesterday's STRAITS TIMES. I remembered her calling me up excitedly telling me that she was to be interviewed by the press and then calling me up again to tell me there was a also a photoshoot involved. I am sooo proud of her!

This was her second time being interviewed after working for MOS. The first was by LIME magazine. Her colleagues in MOS are teasing her and calling her a 'mini celebrity'. =D

I might not have said it before but I am really proud of your achievements. You were always spoken highly of by your peers and superiors. And for a girl of 23 years old, to be promoted to Bar Captain in the top club in Singapore is no mean feat. You are doing really well and should not be bothered about others' opinion of you. Always remember that you live for yourself. Follow your heart and be brave. Success is yours.

I am happy that you are my little sister and no one could have had a better sister than you =)

It's March school holidays

Right, it's the March school holidays and it's jammed packed with activities. It's a wonder how we managed to squeeze everything in in the last couple of days. Amidst all the holiday homework and preparing Meg for her pre-primary RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) exams, we went prawning, visit a goat farm and the Night Safari. Lots of wholesome stuffs :)

Meg in her ballet class - they are all so adorable in their tutus and leotards She's been practicing real hard for her exams which is tomorrow. She has no inkling what is an exam so I'm the one feeling the jitters instead. There's a skipping rope routine in the choreography but no matter how, she can't seem to master it (guess she's got my genes). She will just have to sit out in that one and she's pretty sadden by that. Her ballet teacher reassures the both of us that it's alright but I think it still bothers her. Poor thing :(

Brought Meg to the airport on Sunday night for ice-cream with the FJC peeps (dark pics cos using my phone camera)
Thereafter adjourned for 'prawning' in Pasir Ris
It's my very 1st time prawning and the very 1st time that Meg stayed out so late. We left only at 2am and she could barely keep her eyes open.
We got all excited over Jame's prawn. He caught 2 and we caught none. In the end, he gave them to Meg to rear but prawns died after 2 days.
Ken & Meg were quite upset that they didn't manage to catch any

In Hay Dairies goat farm We were all really excited about visiting the goat farm. A pity we missed the milking session which is held only in the morning.

These kids were really cute! Some are only 2 weeks old.

Meg was quite put off by the stench but she forgot about it the moment she set sight on the goats. Ouch! Hee~~ Bitten by an over-zealous kid. They bite everything they can lay their mouths on

Even your pants if you walk too close to them! This is one tall scary fella. He's as tall as Ken but really tame though.

Bought $2 worth of alfafa hay to feed them Enjoying themselves
All of us are in the pic so who's the one who took this? Megan!
Mum buying some goat milk to take home
We really want to go back there again soon!
Undeterred, Ken brought Liz & Jon prawning this time, hoping to have better luck

Meg was having so much fun that she refuses to let go of the rod and let us have a go We had quite a good catch - 10 prawns and 2 small fishes. FISHES??!! Yah, when Meg caught the 1st fish, we were so amused that we went into a laughing fit. The 2nd one was caught by Jon. Kudos to Liz who caught the most and Ken finally went home happy cos he caught 1.
Meg was tired after the entire day's activities
Haha........ I don't know why she's giving Ken the frown!
Meg's 1st visit to the Night Safari
Flash photography was not allowed so we took photos at whatever opportunity we had, which wasn't alot.

Meg was so enthralled with the whole experience. She was holding on to Liz's hand and asking Liz 'what's that noise' the whole time. A cheeky wink from Meg. She always have so much fun when Jon & Liz are around.
At the animal show
I had freaked out when they told us they had lost a snake (and I had known it's part of the show!)
Meg in my aviator shades. Hee....hee.... I love this pic!
