Greeting from Jerlene

31 Oct 2009 - What time is it? It's prata time!
Jerlene can now recognize different places while I'm driving. For instance, while we are on our way home, she will say "Home" when she sees it. And when we drive into the carpark of a mall, she will say "Shopping". One more place that she will always recognize is the prata shop. When she sees it, she will shout "PRATA!". And today, we again had our lunch at prata shop. When I asked Jerlene what time is it and I expected her to say lunch time, instead she said "Prata time".......For the first time, I ordered a chocolate prata for Jerlene. And she ended up a big mess........

29 Oct 2009 - Jerlene no longer has goldfish memory
In the past, things that I've said before her sleep, she will seldom remember when she woke up the next morning. However, that no longer happens now. She will remember exactly what I've said and promised her before her sleep. To paint a scenario.....today after work, I went out with my colleagues till very late at night. Tracy went to pick up the kids herself from my parent's place. When they reached home, Jerlene called me and we chatted for quite a while. Below is an extract of what we have said over the phone....Daddy: Jerlene, what are you doing?Jerlene: Watching DoraDaddy: Are you a

28 Oct 2009 - Supermodel in the making
Everytime Jerlene learnt something new from childcare centre, she will show off to us when we get home. Today, she suddenly walked back and forth in front of me, so I asked her what is she doing. Unexpectedly, she said "Catwalk". Initially she just walked to and fro from one point to the other. Since I now know what she is doing, I decided to "enhance" her catwalk Firstly, I told her to walk to one point, stop and make a round turn. Afterwhich, give the audience her signature smile and walk back. And very quickly, she picked it up and started doing that. I can see a future supermodel in the making....... :-)

25 Oct 2009 - Javier's new cool cut
After Jerlene was done with her haircut, it's now Javier's turn. I carried him in front of me while I sat on the chair. Initially, it was quite smooth as Javier was curious when seeing himself in the mirror. However, that did not last long and slowly it became more difficult because Javier kept moving his head around. The hairdresser gotta be very careful so as not to hurt him. Both of us "struggled" for a while before the haircut was done. Though it's difficult, at least he did not cry, which usually is the case for other babies. So Javier, you did a great job as well, just like your 姐姐.Javier looks more cool in his new haircut. Below is a series of photos showing h

25 Oct 2009 - Angels going for haircut
Many friends of mine always comment that Javier has got so much hair. Those who have kids are especially envious of us. Jerlene, just like Javier, also got lots of hair since birth. However, one negative thing about having so much hair is that we need to bring them for haircut very frequently. At least once every 2 months or less. I tried very hard to delay it but after all those nagging from my parents, I decided to bring them for haircut today.Instead of going to the usual salon at Bishan, I decided to bring them to the $10 haircut shop at NorthPoint. This shop actually provides kiddy rides free for children who come here for haircut. We waited for about 20mins and it's
