Thick as thieves

Dear Adan, Summer and Anais.

Here you are three of you, as is often the case, laughing your heads off. Feeding off each other's laughter with playfulness and pure cheekiness. Thick as thieves.

Milk time

Dear girls,

So Mama is off to HK the past 2-3 days leaving Dada marooned with Adan and you two. Which means Dada has to do the sleepytime routine of feeding milk to u two. It is actually quite a lovely part of the day as I get to spend some quiet time (if your brother behaves) with you two. Here are some pictures of what it looks like...

Anais: Dada!



Summer: ooh what's that??

School mornings

Dear Adan,
This photo sums up school mornings....apart from the tussle of getting you out the door. Look at those forlorn eyes peering at me through the daycare centre door. "Dada ...can you please promise to bring me home early?....you'll think about it?"

If we were Ben & Jerry ice cream flavours

Mama would be Mushy Mama
Adan would be Talky Monkey
Summer would be Smiley "le-lah"
Anais would be Scrumptious "Uh oh"

And I would be Sour Grump

You will always have each other

Dear loves,

Here is a picture of a cute moment - Anais planting a kiss in Summer while Adan looks on. This was taken about 2 days ago in a shopping centre. I want you know that you three will always have each other to rely on for strength, support, love and lots of moments like this one. Your mom and I came from slightly smaller families with eac of us only having one sibling. You're lucky to be 3. Oh yes, you'll fight, quarrel and get irritated with each other - but in the end I hope you'll realise that the three of you can turn to each other for anything as you grow up.






With warmth and love,

Dada

Mama flying off to HK

Mama is flying off to HK in an hour. We're atthe airport sort of wandering around passing time together. The girl at the check-in counter asked Mama how many weeks pregnant she was to Mama's dismay. Mama asked for free upgrade - wonder if she'll get it! Looks like I am stuck with you kids till Friday. So you all better behave or no hi-5 and Ben 10. Well looking forward to spending quality time with all 3 of you. Note from mama - don't drive dada nuts ok? Love u n plenty of smooches! Mmmmmm-uah

Present for mama before her trip

Dear Adan, Summer and Anais

As Dada and I rarely travel for work, even a short trip seems like a big deal.

Adan, when I told you about my upcoming trip, you drew this lovely family tree for me to bring along with me. This is so lovely. Thanks, sweetie.

Adan's HULK

Another drawing...this time u and your classmate Keagan are Hulks, one "bad" and one "good" - of course, you have claimed the role of the "good HULK"...

First (actually, 4th) love

Dear Adan

Dada and I laughed when we saw this drawing of yours....It reads

ADAN LEONG YIREN *HEART* DANIELLE

(one of your K2 classmates)...

What a sweet love note (sorry, Cheng Lynn, Jodie and Ashley - your 1st, 2nd and 3rd loves)

The only thing constant in life is Change

Well kiddoes, this is a indeed a month of lots of activity - but you probably will be blissfully unaware of it all....except maybe you Adan.

Mama has started a new job and is extremely tired, downloading all the new information and looking ahead at the path ahead of her. Also preparing to go on a business trip, so leaving you three in your dada's good hands :) Just for 3 days :)

Dada is extra busy this month too with his video production schedule on hyper mode.

With both of us so tired, we hope that you kids are all feeling OK and not too neglected...we spend the evening playing with you for a short while, and we hope it is enough...

We are also planning to move house to a rental place soon, so the house is in a mess with half packed boxes and so on.

We love you. Always trying our best for you kids.

5 and a half going on 16

Dear Adan,
Here you are. A 'little teenager'. Sometimes your precociousness makes us forget that you are only 5 going on 6.

Little drummer boy

Dear Adan,

We've been pretty lax with your enrichment programs, so in addition to swimming, we've added in drumming! Here's a few pics and videos of your first official drum lesson with Teacher Shu-lyn, your mama's secondary school classmate! At School of Music Clef in Suntec.

And here are some pics and clips from your unofficial music lessons at Jammin' Senzation, aunty Jasmin's music school in Penang over CNY!

And what Summer & Anais think of your music skills...perhaps...

Teacher Shu was quite impressed with you on your first lesson...keep it up little rocker dude!

Chinese new year 2010

We spent Chinese new year with your grandparents in Penang. Had you girls in really pretty cheongsam. Here are the pictures to prove it.

Adan had his fill playing with Penang cousins and of course we had fun teasing Great grandma (Chor Chor).

Here is great grandma fending off the paparazzi



Oh yeah my fractured hand from punching the door after losing it with you - adan my poor boy. But you do drive me up the wall sometimes!

What strange shoes you have there, Dada...

See how you gals watch in amazement as Dada showed off his new Vibram Five Fingers shoes...wigglewiggle...

Meant to be for running, these are pretty cool!!
