Month: August 2008

No tickets this year, but that does not stop us from trying to catch the spirit of the festivities. Wifey had to work (yes on NDP day during NDP time *sigh*) so its all of us less mommy.

Knowing that the crowd will be just crazy, i parked at Tanjong Pagar MRT and we took the MRT to City Hall. We wanted to see fireworks (like many other Singaporeans). Walked all over Marina Square and realised that 7+pm was not considered early (fireworks usually happen at 8pm).

The time drew closer and we made do with a location that i think will get a decent view of the fireworks display.

8pm came and Cleo wanted to go to the loo… It was crowded. To navigate thru the crowd and back would just mean no more fireworks. I had no choice… i told her to hold. She say she can’t. I told her to hold.

*bom* *bom* the fireworks started and she got distracted. I carried her up to my shoulders risking the fact that i would get wet. Now i hoped the fireworks would quickly end.

It ended eventually and we quickly went back to City Hall to find a loo for her. What a night!

Happy Birthday Singapore. :)

My Clié is no longer a baby anymore. She is starting to talk like us (her parents), behave like us, want to go places we go, want to do what we do.

Of late i’ve been having verbal sparing with her. She have a way with her words as she is quite clever at worming her way thru an argument with her limited set of vocabulary. Its fun, but yet frustrating.

Her wardrobe is quite princess-sy as she always choose dresses. So for this time, I choose for her what to wear with much opposition from her as she feels the top is cow-boy-ish and not suitable for her. Wah lau, at 5 years old, i thought kids would just wear what their parents tell them.

There were alot of other photos that i took during that session, but only these were decent to show. There are some poses i’m like… huh? I wonder what she see from TV when we are at work.
