Some good shots by daddy ! Unfortunately I had to reduce the image size so the effect is not as nice as the original ones.

Daddy's new love

To own a good coffee machine has always been on daddy's mind.. for years. But everytime he will simply tell himself that money can be put to better use like paying for my spa & facial packages! Ha ha.

Last week we saw a range of Delonghi coffee makers by Nespresso & daddy was VERY tempted to get it but being a good father & husband as he is, he told me he doesnt need it. That night I consulted the very wise nai nai if she heard & tried Nespresso coffee and her reply was, "Makes very good coffee...! " and the very fast-hands-fast-legs nai nai went to get it for daddy the next day ! !



Nespresso Citiz - a unique system that uses the Nespresso capsules to make great espresso.

Daddy's 2nd new love is the Tefal indoor BBQ-grill he bought last Sat. Cheap, good & easy to clean! We had wagyu beef, bacons, chicken skewers & salads for dinner that night.

Twins ?

The 2 common questions passers-by often ask me:

1) Your son has unusual hair colour, is he a caucasian? NO.

2) Are they ( Kayla & Kieran) twins ? No. They're exactly 15mths apart.



"Same height and shoe size but we're not twins"

Tasty tomato sauce

Kieran LOVES tomato sauce & cant get enough of it ! We had breakfast at the nearby mall last Sat & all he wanted was toast bread with lots of tomato sauce !!!



Very contented !


After a tasty tomato sauce breakfast, we brought him for a haircut. Sorry nai nai, he needed a trim badly!

Time to recharge ... Passion for puzzles

Once in a while, my battery goes flat & I have no desire to recharge myself.. just want to stay in bed alittle longer or simply watch my kids monkeying around. Maybe because I am always so occupied with the kids, housework & cooking, I allow myself to go to sleep mode when my parents or nainai are here :P

So, my system has been shut down for a good 3 weeks. Its time to recharge !!! Popo will be going home this Wed :(

BUT nainai will be visiting us on the 25th July !!!!

We are so blessed.



Anyway, 2 months ago we bought a 100pcs The World of Cars (disney & pixar) puzzle for Kieran, simply because he loved the packaging so much he didnt want to let go (we must be mad to let a 2.5yrs old fix a 100pcs puzzle !!! ).

The first few attempts, we helped him to sort out similar colours/background & he did the rest. It was a slow & tedious learning process for him but he never give up. This is how much he loves puzzles !

Now I am extremely proud to say Kieran is able to fix this puzzle all by himself :)

Earrings & cake

The 1st time Kayla pierced her ears was 8 months ago but due to mild infection, we had to remove her earrings. Last Thursday, she asked for her ears to be pierced again so we went to the pharmacy to enquire. She was calm but I was scared - cannot imagine having both ears pierced at the same time !!!


Hmmm.. I wonder where she inherited the vainity from ?

Gong gong's birthday !

Celebrated gong gong's bday on the 15th June. It was daddy Richard's first day of exam too ! So while he was pulling out his hair at Macquerie Uni, we were happily shopping ha ha ha ! We had dinner at a Thai restaurant.. I dont think the food was great but the birthday man liked it.. so thats the most important.

Gong gong bought a number "5" candle to show he is STILL in his 50's !! Faint...
