Wiggly Party 2

Birthday Venue - The Wiggles Play Centre:

Good fun & company !

Yesterday we went to The Train Shed (1hr roadtrip) with Aunty Mei's & Eve's family - our Singaporean friends who are staying in Sydney. It was a gloomy & cold day (with occasional drizzles) but we still enjoyed ourselves - its the great company that matters.

At the entrance - Train Shed is a small place surrounded by beautiful rural views. It has a shop with great selection of Thomas toys and has a small eating corner.

Waiting for our first ride !

With the not-so fat Controller:

On board James train - our first ride so all the 5 adults (excluding pregnant Eve) & 5 kids took the ride together. Each ride is about 7 mins - down a small slope and through a tunnel.


On board Thomas train - subsequent rides the adults took turns to company the 5 kids.

On board Percy train:

On board Toby train:

And a strong wind blew Kieran's Thomas hat away ...

The not-so-fat controller went to pick up the hat !!

This is the only hat Kieran likes:

Nice family photos taken by Uncle Ben & Aunty Eve

We didnt plan to go anywhere after the train shed but being such easy & spontaneous people, we decided to go to the International Regatta Centre which is very nearby. None of us was affected by the dark clouds & drizzles ! Especially the children. Look at them:

Wiggly Party 1

Today, Kieran celebrated his 3rd birthday (way in advance) at The Wiggles Play Centre. We would like to thank all our friends for braving the rain, the chilling weather and the long drive to make this party a very special & memorable one for Kieran.

I will upload the party photos once daddy transfer the photos fr his camera.

These are some photos taken from my camera - at home unwrapping the presents !




Kieran's favourites:

1. Wiggles microphone

2. Wiggles backpack (fr daddy & mummy)

3. Talking robot

4. 60pcs wiggles puzzle (completed by Kieran)

And these are my favourites:

1. Thomas & friends swim wear

2. Toys R us gift card

3. 3D Noah's Ark story book

Yeah, I am a very boring & practical mummy!! Ha ha.

Last Gymbaroo lesson

The kids attended their last Gymbaroo lesson with the theme - Helicopter. They enjoyed all the 9 lessons; the teachers were great and the different themes provided many opportunities for learning.

After class, I brought the kids Yum Cha. Kieran loves char siew pau & soya bean curd.. Kayla loves their fried dumplings, sticky rice & fried noodles. Mummy me will eat whatever they cant finish !!

Later, we met up with a Singaporean friend & her daughter. We took the kids to the soft play area and we watched them from a bench with the other moms. About 20mins into play, I heard a thud & immediately I had a bad feeling it was from Kieran. I saw him covering his mouth with his hands and 2 secs later, blood was oozing out from his lower lip ! Quickly carried him out & frantically looking for tissues. Fortunately, a waitress from the opposite cafe saw what happened and brought me some ices & paper napkins to stop the bleeding.

I learnt from another mom that Kieran was trying to walk up a slide, then slipped and fell on his face.


Red pouty lip.

"Please dont laugh at my cutie curls"

Dust Storm

Early this morning, I woke up to a red/orange glow outside my bedroom window. When I looked carefully I saw this:


My neighbour's car was covered by thick layers of orange dust! For a moment, I felt like I was in Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds movie - our blue planet invaded by some visitors from Mars !

Then to my horror:


My balcony !! Layers of orange dust too !

Mr Brown

Kayla bears a striking resemblance to daddy & she gets very upset with me when I say (jokingly) she is "as pretty as daddy".

Yesterday she said to me, " I dont look like daddy. He has BROWN skin but I dont ! "

Mummy: Tanned you mean ?

Ha! Ha !

Lets get wiggly

We want to make Kieran's 3rd birthday (in Oct.) special because the past 2 birthdays were simple family affairs, no big exciting parties.

Since my son is a BIG fan of The Wiggles, we will hold a birthday party for him at The Wiggly Play Centre ! Today, we went down to check out the place & made some enquiries. We chose "Captain Feathersword's room" as the party room for him to celebrate with his little friends.

Jiejie was very distracted:

Been a year

No updates because my kids were unwell for the whole week - cold & cough, very common during winter. I think their systems have sort of gotten used to it so they hardly rely on medications now which is a good thing ! Anyway, they are well & active.

Been exactly 1 year since we moved to Sydney ! It wasnt easy for me - sold our home, our car & leaving my family but looking back now, I'm glad I gave Richard my 100% support to take up the job here. Hes definately happier; so are the kids.

I'm thankful to God for all the opportunities. I've learnt to be more patient, loving & understanding towards my kids & husband.

To my family & friends overseas - thank you for your prayers & support too =)
