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.

Alyssa's tooth drop

Last Wednesday, Alyssa's tooth dropped. Finally her milk teeth is starting to drop and waiting for her new permanent teeth to grow.  She woke up that morning and found that her gum was bleeding.  The tooth at her lower gum had been shaking for weeks already.  奶奶 just shook the tooth slightly and the tooth dropped off without causing her pain. 

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 :(

How to make a Bread

Teacher Alyssa will now show us how to make a bread (Should be sandwich).

Superstar!!

The girls had this crazy idea that they dressed up and posed as superstars and I am supposed to take lots of pictures of them.  They even bother to change clothes and there were also pyjamas girls! Enjoy the pix...here it goes

Growing plants

Alyssa's plant has grown leaves! After 5 days of waiting, finally we saw some leaves coming up and still growing tall.  However, nothing is happening for Breanna's plant yet.

Teachers Day Puppet Show

Directed and voiced by Breanna and Alyssa.  No script and no rehearsal. Everything was impromptu.

Dedicated to all teachers.

Enjoy and have a happy teachers day!

Planting time

I had bought the kids mini garden set for the girls from the spree.  Breanna chose to plant Lavender while Alyssa wanted to plant corn but got Tomato instead.  Firstly, we had to soak the seeds in warm water for at least 12 hours.

Pour all the medium into the pot.  Pour water over it.  Then plant the seeds into the medium.  Now we just have to wait patiently for 7 days for the seeds to grow. Hopefully we will be able to see some leaves by then.

Meet Charming and Jasmine

The girls finally have their first pet. It is a terrapin.  Breanna got a male terrapin and called him "Charming".  Whereas Alyssa got a female terrapin and called her "Jasmine". The girls loved these tiny animals so much and kept holding it up.  They even talked to the animals and tried to discipline them when Jasmine and Charming tried to escape from their hands. 

Why was Alyssa crying?

Why was Alyssa crying? Was it because she wanted ice-cream or was she being naughty? No.  The answer was that she was sad that the Mummy guppy had eaten up its baby guppy. That night, the mummy guppy had given birth to 3 baby fry.  But it ate them up quickly just after they were borne.  Alyssa was very sad and mad with the Mummy guppy.  She thinks that it was very cruel of the Mummy guppy to do that.  She was such an empathy girl in which I was glad to see that.

Alyssa's 1st birthday was celebrated at 公公 house. It was just a simple celebration with the family. 三姨 was carrying Breanna and me carrying Alyssa.

Sibling fighting

Look at the fight! The girls were fighting over the bread. OMG, they were so fierce!!

Arrival of Alyssa

Alyssa was delivered in Thomson Medical Centre. David accompanied me throughout the caesarian operation. I was half awoke due to the given epidural and holding Alyssa in my arm.

The lovely baby is sleeping.

奶奶 brought Breanna to visit her baby sister. I've bought her a gift and pretended to be from her baby sister to avoid jealously from her. She was happy and love her baby sister.

I went back to Dr Eunice Chua (TLC Gynaecology Practise @ TMC) to remove the stitch. She looks young but she already has 4 kids!! Salute to her.

Arrival of Breanna. She is sleeping soundly in my arm.

At 3 months, she can't sit properly yet but enjoy playing saliva bubbles....

At 8 months, she still doesn't have a lot of hair.

This is Breanna's 1st birthday. Only a small cake and celebrated with just Mummy and Daddy. She was afraid of the fire when we light up the candle.

Another birthday cake, but this time celebrated with 公公 and all the 阿姨
