Sheri's new adventure

This week has been a very memorable week as our little girl embarks on her new journey to SCHOOL.

First day of School

Finally, the much awaited day has arrived. Monday was Sheri's first day of school in her pre-nursery class. Mommy noticed that she was a bit apprehensive when she first saw her English teacher, Miss Deidre. In order to allay her fears, mommy quickly distracted her by showing around in her new classroom. That seemed to work very well as she was immediately drawn towards the toys in her new classroom. Mommy and Ah Ma secretly slipped away while Sheri was preoccupied with her new toys. We headed to the observation room where we could observe our little girl without her knowing. She seemed to be perfectly at ease in the new environment. That is certainly very reassuring for mommy who was worried that she might not adapt to the new environment.

Unfortunately, our little girl fell sick the next day and she did not go to school on the second and third day.

Fourth day of school

Last Thursday was supposed to be her second day of school since she did not attend the school on the second and third day. Even though it was just her second day of school, parting seemed very easy. Mommy was taken aback when our little girl voluntarily said, 'bye, bye to mommy and Ah Ma' when we brought her to her new classroom.(It was a new classroom as they had Chinese lesson that day.)

Fifth day of school

Our littel girl seems to like going to school. Whenever we ask her whether she likes going to school, she never fails to reply us with a resounding 'Yes'. So, mommy just left her in the charge of Miss Deidre today.

She was all smiles when mommy went to pick her up today. It is very comforting to see that our little girl enjoys going to school and learning new things. Thank God! There was not much tears involved in this whole adventure of sending her to school. Hopefully, she will continue to enjoy learning in her new school.

Pretty girls!

Big Auntie(Mommy's elder sister) bought a pair of sunglasses for Sheri and cousin Hui Chi. See how the two girls enjoy their new pair of sunglasses!

Cousin Huichi's birthday

Cousin Huichi has turned three on last Sunday. Nowadays, it has become an increasing trend to have a birthday celebration both in school and at home. Ah Ma and mommy brought a cake to school on last Friday to celebrate her birthday.

We had a birthday celebration for her at home on Sunday.

What a big feast!

2 big brothers of Sheri

In Singapore, Sheri is able to enjoy the joy of growing up in an extended family. This is partly the reason mommy and daddy decided to move back to our home country. She is fortunate to enjoy the brotherly love of her two cousins, Kai Jun and Kai Foo. She can play with them every evening when they come back from school. Here are some of the pictures that she took with them during one of the evenings when they played together at the playground.

I can see you!

Cheers!

Splish and Splash!

For the past two weeks, my sis-in-law and I have been bringing our two little cuties to the pool to have some fun playing with water on Friday morning.

We brought some water toys along, so the kids could keep themselves occupied playing with the toys.

Love is in the air!

Last Saturday was Valentine's day. Mommy just woke up from her sleep at about 8 o' clock in the morning. Minutes later, someone came to deliver a bouquet of flowers to mommy. A secret admirer of mommy?

Yes, he is none other than our dearest daddy. Thank you, daddy, for giving mommy such a beautiful bouquet of roses. Happy Valentine's day!

Our favourite hunt

It has been two weeks since mommy and Sheri moved to Ah Ma's place. Mommy is always on the lookout of nice places that are close by for our little Sheri to roam around. There is a nice park just behind Ah Ma's place. Mommy loves to take a walk with Sheri in the evening.

Here are some of the pictures that we took during one of our evening walks.

There is also a sandbox for our little girl to play.

Our creation

70th birthday celebrations

It is a coincidence that both daddy and mommy's daddies have turned 70 this year. On the last Saturday before daddy left, we celebrated their birthdays, respectively.

We had a sumptuous lunch at daddy's parents place to celebrate Ye Ye's birthday. Thanks to Nei Nei for preparing a delectable set of Asian cuisine.

Later in the evening, we headed to the restaurant for Ah Gong's 70th birthday banquet(Mommy's daddy).

Outing at East Coast beach

Before daddy left for the States, we had a family outing at the East Coast beach. When we reached the beach, the sky was overcast and a heavy thunderstorm seemed imminent. However, crazy mommy still insisted on renting a family bike. As usual, daddy acceded to mommy request. We took shelter at the lighthouse for awhile when it became impossible for us to brave the rain.

Surprisingly, our little girl did not utter a single word of complaint when we cycled in the rain for awhile. Mercifully, the rain dwindled and we continued our journey. Poor daddy!Daddy must be having a hard time ferrying mommy and Sheri as he is the only one among the three of us who knows how to cycle.

Meeting with mommy's JC friends

We managed to meet up with Mommy's high school friends during the Chinese New Year Week. Thanks to Auntie Yin Shan for organizing the gathering.

Cheers!

These are our two lovable kids.

After dinner, we spent some time touring the Parkway Parade Shopping Mall. This used to be daddy and mommy's favourite shopping mall when we were young.
