Chelsea and Christian's Growing Up Process =): February 2009

Prince enjoying himself at Costa Del Sol Playgroup

Princess Chelsea started going for her informal playgroup in October 2007, when she was around the age of 16 months old. My Little Prince's informal co-op playgroup only started this year, when he is about 22 months old.

Why the difference? One might ask. Well, it was not intentionally planned, it just happened this way due to other ongoing commitments in our lives.

Nevertheless, Little Prince is certainly happy to be able to mix with friends his age group.

Catch him in action, displaying a most cheeky smile in the ball pool at Auntie Dewi’s place.

Toa Payoh Central Family Day at the Zoo

Priced at a very affordable $5 per adult, each ticket allowed entry to the Singapore Zoo.

Also included were:
- Transportation back and forthFree unlimited play at various games stalls
- A magic show
- A balloon performances and
- A lucky draw with very attractive prizes

It was certainly a great deal indeed, no wonder almost 10 packed buses left together from the Toa Payoh Central CC for the Singapore Zoo.

Princess volunteered for a song-singing short performance on stage, and won herself 3 prizes. Then it was fun at the Rainforest Kids’ World, as usual.

STB’s treat to Images of Singapore at Sentosa

As part of STB’s S$90 Million BOOST for Tourism Sector, the first 2009 visitors [for every weekend in the month of Feb] get to enjoy Sentosa’s Images of Singapore Gallery entry for free.

Special thanks to God-Pa Mervin, who went to redeem the tickets early on Saturday morning; we got to tour Sentosa for free.

Unfortunately, the weather played a bad trick on us, drizzled non-stop. Not wanting to disappoint the kids, Daddy Tiong allowed them to play in the water-play area at Palawan Beach despite the drizzle.

Thankfully, no one fell sick afterwards.

Max’s 2nd BDay Party at Rafflesia

Handsome Max celebrated his birthday over the weekend, and soon, it would be Little Prince’s birthday. We heard that Little Max was anticipating his party so much that he actually dreamt about it the previous night.

At the party, Princess and Prince were both completely blown away by a nice friend named Gwyneth, daughter of Auntie Irene. She was so sweet and gentle to the kids; the kids certainly loved her company.

Little Prince kept wanting to be carried by Gwyneth, and Mummy Eliz thought she spied a first look of infatuation in his little eyes as he glared at Gwyneth.

PS:

The food at the party was all painstakingly home-cooked, and the Mee Siam was heavenly.

STB’s S$90 Million BOOST for Tourism Sector

As part of the above-mentioned S$90 Million BOOST, Mummy Eliz got this sms from STB,

“ 1st 2009 to flash this over Feb wkends enjoy Sentosa, Jurong Birdpark, National Museum, S’pore River Cruises’ bumboats & S’pore Flyer for FREE!”

The response for this was certainly overwhelming; the free tickets for the S’pore Flyer were all taken up within the 2 hours on Saturday morning. Thankfully, Aunt Anne was given 3 free tickets by a nice passer-by.

Thus we got to go on the S’pore Flyer, this time by day, and enjoyed the clear view. Princess enjoyed matching the places she spied to its respective drawn pictures on a map she took.

Water-fun at Home Sweet Home

Now that Little Prince is no longer that little, he could sometimes have water-fun together with Princess in the bathroom. Well, if one looks at the pictures, it might be more of water-craze rather than just water-fun.
