Our Little River Dancer

I thought I should post this video in this blog so that he gets to see his own dancing skills one day when he grows up. Hubby and I just couldn't stop laughing each time we watched his steps in this video.

Pyssla Beads

I only know about pyssla beads after reading some posts from one of the blog sites that I visited some time ago. It got me interested as it would be something fun for Emily and I to play with during her free time, also a good way to train her fine motor skils which she much needed it.

During the last trip to Ikea, I managed to buy a box of beads which costs RM25 and 3 pcs of pyssla pegboards for RM7.90. Look at the amount of beads and you will definately agree that the price is reasonable as I understand that there are more expensive in Toys'rus outlet.

Initially Emily got really impatient when trying to arrange those tiny beads onto the pegboard. In fact she gave up after a few attempts. Just a few days ago, on the night after her school exams, she told me she wanted to try again and successful made a love shape design. I also enjoyed myself with the beads by making a house design. Afterthat I helped her to iron the beads so that they are fused together.

We definately look forward to create more shapes with these beads in the coming days.

Bento Fun 2

I managed to get some bento accessories from Daiso during CNY holidays. Here's what I have prepared; garlic fried rice, baby tomatoes and dragon fruit, baked chicken fillet and corn.

Love for Soft Toys

Since young, Jared has shown alot of interests in soft toys, be it a teddy bear or animal stuffed toys. Last weekend when we visited a show unit, he found a big teddy bear in the kid's showroom. Look at how much he enjoyed playing with it, the only time when he wasn't walking around everywhere.
These are some pictures of him feeding the bear with his mineral water cup. Doesn't he look adorable ? :)

Happy Rabbit Year...

CNY celebrations are all about family gatherings, meeting with friends, giving angpows, playing fireworks and most importantly eating, could it be cookies, oranges or sui bak :)

Our celebration kicked off with a steamboat dinner at my brother's place on the Sunday before CNY. It was a great family gathering as we got to chit chat, joke and the kids mingled among themselves while waiting for the ingredients to boil in the steamboat pot, indeed a precious time.

This year we also managed to visit a few old friends, 2 of them are my ex-Convent classmates and some friends from hubby's hometown. It was really great to meet up with them after such a long time, in fact I have not seen one of the classmates for more than 20 years.

At my inlaw's place, it was also very happening as hubby has 7 siblings, so just imagine the situation when all the adults, grandchildren and great grandchildren are back home. As usual my MIL will be busy cooking in the kitchen, from morning till afternoon. Can see that she is tired but yet happy that all her children are around to savour her delicious cookings. One of my favourite dishes is her black sauce meat, the best that I have ever tasted but only if you like FAT meat!! :)

I guess kids also enjoy the most during this time of the year, receiving so many angpows, getting to play fireworks and also meeting up with cousins. Emily surely enjoyed the company of her cousin sisters and missed them a lot when she came home.
