ompong 2

Finally ...

Kate's right-upper-central-incisor baby tooth fell out. It happened last night, right before dinner. Normally it takes about 6 weeks for the tooth to fall out, but this tooth took 10 weeks, while the first one took 1 day only :D.

Now both of her lower-central-incisor baby teeth are start moving. Let's see how long it struggles its way out.

(not) zoo animal

Kate needed to make a scrapbook about animal at the zoo.

Well, we haven't been to the zoo in Singapore, except Kate on school trip few months ago. But we had been to zoo in other countries few times. Strangely, we couldn't find any photographs of them, nor in our computer, neither in our photo albums.

After searching all our photo collections, Kate got several animals photographs. None of them was taken at the zoo, though. :)

Since Kate never sees any scrapbook, here is her idea:

another long weekend

Thursday

After Chinese tuition, Kate and Mum went to Botanic Garden for a picnic. Not many people there, so we found it quiet enough for some relaxing.

The fish ponds (near Tanglin Gate) were nice again. Now visitors who wish to feed the fish, are encouraged to give only fish food, which could be bought ($1) at dispensing machine at visitor centre nearby. It's a good idea considering usually visitors would give any kind of food (from bread crumbs to green leafy vegetables), which easily makes the ponds dirty. Now the ponds are back nice and clean, and the fishes look healthy, too.

Friday

Kate's bad habit during holiday is waking up late. Today, she woke up at noon!

Daddy had a day long meeting, which ended with a dinner feast. Mum and Kate were planning to join for the feast. But about the time to leave, Mum changed her mind. So Mum and Kate stayed at home instead, to give Kate time to do her homeworks.

While Kate was doing her homeworks, we heard loud noise ... Ooops, we totally forgot about it ... FIREWORKS FESTIVAL :(

Saturday

Usually after swimming lesson, Kate would ask to play water a little while more (which could end up another one hour). But not today, because Mum promised her to watch fireworks. Yesterday she was dissappointed by hearing the noise only.

After preparing some snacks and drinks, off we go. We planned to watch the fireworks from around Fullerton One. Somehow, we ended up at Esplanade Bay. The place was better though, closer from the main view at Marina Bay floating platform. Since we arrived "late" (an hour early), we couldn't get a nice place to get some good snaps.

Sunday

Today was library day! We went to Library@Orchard and Central Lending Library.

Kate has just finished her silver stage from her reading-bear-record. She would need to make the activity to get her silver badge.


... after this 2 consecutive long weekends (Thu-Sun),
Kate will only have 2 weeks to finish her term 3
then another holiday for 1 week...

sillyman

This time Kate is a story teller.

"Imagine there's a wall and a man. The man dressed up like a Superman. He thought by dressing up like Superman, he could be a Superman. So he climbed up a wall and jumped. But instead of flying up, he fell down.

I think he is a Sillyman, not a Superman."

By the way, today Kate likes to run, bends her body a little bit, straights her hand forward and says "Super...girl".

Since Kate was having a long weekend (Thu-Sun), the teacher gave lots of homework. Here is one of them:

baby

few days ago,
Kate: Mummy, would you help me finish my meal, please?
Mum: I have eat a lot and my tummy is quite full.
Kate: Please, Mum ...
Mum: If I eat some more, later my tummy will get bigger and bigger.
Kate: That's really good!
Mum: Are you sure?
Kate: Yes! So we would have a baby. Horray!!
Mum: ??? Does the baby come from food?
Kate: Yes :D
Mum: So daddy could have a baby in his tummy, and you could, too.
Kate: No ... It's special only for woman.
Mum: ...
Kate: Of course not. *laughing* I'm just kidding.
Mum: Where does the baby come from, then?

Kate:
The God in heaven will put a really tiny baby in your tummy. And the baby will eat the food in your tummy, so the baby will grow bigger and bigger. When there's not enough space in your tummy, you will need to go to doctor. And the doctor will open your tummy and take the baby out ...
A really cute baby ... :)

Not sure how Kate got the idea, but ... where is daddy's part in making the baby?

round and round and round we go

Daddy was not feeling well. So while he took a rest, Mum and Kate went to playground.


Kate's highest record is 12'11" in November 2006
