K.I.D.S

Exercise!! Exercise!!

I am trying really hard to keep fit nowadays... Realised that I've been eating and eating but not really moving much. Tummy is building up... Though I may look slim overall.. but the tummy is protruding out more than usual and nooo! it is not no.3 on the way!

Hopefully my once a week aerobics class and at least once or twice a week jog will help to prevent the tummy from protruding more if not cut it down. I very much wanted to interest the kid to move with me. Dec is still quite ok, but Kenji is kinda lazy... just a short walk and he'll be asking us to carry him... weak leh...

Saturday morning all of us woke up early so we went for a morning walk and ended up at a fitness corner at sunset way. I must say the fitness corner is kinda cool, with weight lifting and arm tonning stations etc.

I did some sit ups and Kenji upon seeing me do that tried to imitate as well. Of course, his he dun have much strength at the abs so he only manage to lift his neck. The dad then went on to help and teach him how to do sit up hahaha. He looks really cute attempting really hard to achieve a proper sit up. Let's hope soon, my boys will be able to jog with me :)

My Simply Bo Chup First Born

I was waiting for Declan to come home and this was what greeted me when he skipped off the school bus...

He actually survived the whole day with his shoes on the wrong side.... when I pointed that out to him he simply goes :" ohhh no wonder..." probably just realizing how come his feet felt weird the whole day today....

That's my child...

We are Back!

After more than a year hiatus, we are back!! What triggers me to come back to blogging you may ask. I guess a big tpart of it is the fond memories that flooded me when i re-read the old posts that I did. The posts charted Declan's growing process well and I realised, nothing much was on Kenji. I hope he won't grow up and blame me for not charting his growth on the blog. To avoid that from happening and to allow me to continue having a reliable channel to help me remember my kids growing years, I am back! or should I say WE are back!

As of today, Dec is oredi in Pri 1 and Kenji is oredi in Nursery 2. oh boy.. how fast these babies grow... more updates on the way ;)

Urge to come back

After hopping over to wordpress for the past 2+ years, I suddenly have the urge to come back to blogger.

Though wordpress is much more user friendly and seldom give me problems but I just didn't know how to customise it's limited templates....

Blogger, on the other hand got tonnes of free skin to choose from!! and I've got some basic html knowledge for me to customise a wee bit to my liking...

should i come back? hmmmm....

New Year New Home

Dear All, I've finally put my feet down and decided to shift to my new home for the new year. Reasons being :

- This current blog takes donkey years to load,
- Some readers got problem accessing this site,
- The uploaded image and post will flicker every now and then,
- The posts will go blank sometimes,
- I got problems uploading the photos sometimes and it takes really long to upload the photos..
- The worse things was, some mamas cannot leave comments... arghhhhh.....

I was collecting feedback and some people still prefer this current template while some prefer that of my new home Ratio is 50:50. Thus I based my decision on the final vote from a "wise" man - my boss. His opinion is that the layout and theme seems better at wordpress and the best advantage is, it loads so much faster.

So bye bye blogspot, I am shifting to wordpress. Do hop over to our new home ok? See ya!

Traffic Watch

A traffic jam was observed in a flat in the western area. A 2.5yr old todd is suspected of causing the jam. The actual reason of the jam is unknown. If you are in a rush, please avoid that area. - Traffic Watch brought to you by Baby Talk Blog

1st Day of 2007

I put my non existence cooking skill to test on the 1st day of 2007. I attempted to prepare breakfast for the big one and the little one. Poor them to have a woman who can't cook as their wife and mum. Too bad!!! *snigger snigger*

That's what I managed to prepare. Sausages, Sardine sandwiches and eggs. That's the best I could do. :p The eggs were overcooked, the sausages tasted alright though a tad too oily, the sardine sandwhiches tasted so-so.

I've read the baking experiences of a few mums on their blog. Baking intrigues me. It look interesting and the products look lovely and tasty. I'm so tempted to pick up baking so that I can bake something nice for Declan but my determination is not there :p

My 2007 Resolution :

To get my driving license and pick up baking

Will I be able to fulfill my resolution? I've got 1 year to achieve both, having said that I feel the absence of my determination......

Our 2006 New Year Eve

Our little family spent the last few days of 2006 and first few days of 2007 at our own nest. It's a great feeling to be at our own home. I really appreciate the space as well as the peace. We spent the afternoon at my dad's place because it's his birthday.

Me :"Declan, let's go! We going to kong kong's place."
Dec : "Yeah!!! Go kong kong's place see dog dog!!"
Me :" Go kong kong's place not to see Kong kong but to see dog??....." -_-"

What a filial grandkid my dad has....

So off we went to my dad's place. Of course when we were there, his focus was on the dog instead of the grandpa. He has this love hate relationship with ah girl (the dog). He loves to tease her and yet when he got her excited, Ah Girl will jump on him excitedly and he'll get frightened, cry and Ah girl will get a scolding from my dad for jumping on him. I feel sorry for Ah girl as I know she mean no harm. After he calm down, he'll go chase after Ah girl again... and she'll get excited again and when he turns around, she'll in turn be chasing him and he'll cry again and of course she, for no reason will get another scolding from the doting kong kong. It's a dog's life yeah? ha!

My sis was there too. This is a heartless woman whom the whole family hardly sees her. It's been a year since she last visited my dad and I had to nag and curse at her for her to show face today. She, just like me and some members of my family are game craze. I've mellowed down a lot when it comes to gaming. Where got time now?? I got a todd running my life! My sis had a Nintendo DS in her bag, the moment she flashed it out, I conquered the machine, even the presence of my little todd didn't deter me!!

We had an early dinner there and left for some last minute shopping before heading home to join the rest of the Lims in their "neighbourhood" party.

Same like last year, we headed down to Fullerton vicinity to catch the fireworks. We arrived early and even have time to take a snapshot near fullerton. His grandma make use of the waiting time to teach Declan his numbers.
