Animal Bento Sushi

During March holiday, the girls learnt how to make Animal Bento sushi at Nex.  They were all geared up to make their Bento set.

The little chefs at work.  Cutting and decorating all ingredients.

These are their masterpiece.  The one on top was made by Alyssa and the one on the bottom was made by Breanna. 

The 2 great chefs holding their masterpiece with a great smile. They were so proud of their creations.

They can't wait to eat their bento set once reached home.  Yum Yum...

Cycling and Blading at ECP

The girls had a great time at the ECP during the March holiday.Alyssa was cycling on a tricycle so it was still manageable for her.

Breanna rode the bicycle but she was not able to balance.  She still require Daddy to coach her and help her to balance.  加油 Breanna!!

The girls also tried out roller blading.  They were not able to balance at all.  It was very difficult and basically they were just holding on to Daddy throughout the blading session.

Chicken Pox

During the December school holiday, both Breanna and Alyssa caught chicken pox just before our trip to Hong Kong.  Breanna started first and she had quite a number of pox on her face, body and legs as well. After she recovered, Alyssa got it and fortunately, it was just a few pox for her.  We still proceed to our Hong Kong Trip so that they girls did not get disappointed.  Doctor had given her antibiotic to control so that she will recover on time. We were told that the chicken pox vaccine that was given previously was not very effective.  We will still get it despite the vaccine.

人间自有真亲在

奶奶 bought us tickets to attend her choir concert at Singapore Conference hall on the 21 Nov 2010.

The kids went but Alyssa was not able to appreciate the music.  Luckily, they saw their cousins there and joined them.  Otherwise, they will not be able to sit through the whole concert which lasted for around 2 hours.

Breanna's P2 Sports day

After the SA2 exam, Breanna's school was packed with all kinds of fun events.  They had friendship carnival and lower primary sports day this week.  Next week, there will be P6 fun fair and a Math trail to Singapore Changi Airport.

During the sports day, Alyssa was there to support her sister.  She mixed well with Breanna's classmates.

The girls were waiting patiently for their turn.  It was a competition within the class whereby the 30 girls were split into 4 groups.  Breanna was in Green house which is also known as Lee House.

This event requires the girls to balance the bean bag on their head, skip for 3 times, bounce the ball 3 times and run back to the starting point with the bean bag in their hand.  Whichever team finish first will be the winner.  Breanna's team came in 3rd.  So she did not get any trophy as it was only meant for the 1st and 2nd.  However, she was not sad at all.  She told me that she will try again next year.  Good sports spirit!

After the event, we went to visit the arts and craftwork exhibition whereby the girls art work were being displayed.  Some of Breanna's artwork were also selected.

Pictures

Recently, we had bought some scrapbook materials.  We took some polaroid photos of the girls and they decorate their photos on the album.  These are their masterpiece.  They are very nice, isn't it? They got it display in their bedroom.

Breanna - Video to make a bracelet

Breanna insisted that I must put this up in my blog.  She will show us how to make a bracelet.

Breanna's Piano Concert

26th September marked the last lesson for Breanna's piano class.  She has been taking the group lesson since 2006 when she was only 4 years old.  The first 2 years was JMC class and the following 2 years was JXC.  These were the students left from the original 12.

The students playing the ensemble piece "Waltzing Kittens"

Breanna also performed her solo piece on the Piano "Bacarolle"

Changi Airport

Last Saturday, we went to Changi Airport to fetch 奶 奶 from her Shanghai trip.  We were there early so we went to the kids corner at Terminal 3.  The girls were enjoying scratching the picture.

This is the longest slide in Singapore.  There are 2 slides - the shorter one is free but the longer one requires spending of $30 which entitles you to 2 tokens free.

Of course the girls will not miss the slide.  They went for the shorter one since it was free.  Fortunately, Alyssa was tall enough to ride as it requires a minimum height of 1.1m.  While I was waiting downstair for the girls to slide down, we were able to see each other on the TV screen.

Breanna's 8th birthday

22nd of September was Breanna's 8th Birthday.  She wanted to celebrate in school.  We got these for her classmates.  It includes assorted animals magnet, skittles candies and lucky star made by Breanna.

Breanna chosen "Strawberry Shortcake" birthday cake from Prima Deli.  It was in vanilla flavour.

During recess time, the girls sang the birthday song for Breanna.  Alyssa was there too. After eating the cake, the girls crowded around Breanna to choose their favourite animal magnet.

These were the presents Breanna received for her birthday.  A watch from Mummy, "Young Scientists" level 2 & 3 from Daddy, some stationeries & a photo album from her classmates as well a friendship band from Lai Ching 姐姐.

The plants died

After 2 weeks of planting, Alyssa's plant died.  We did not see any tomato and Breanna's plant did not grow at all :(
