Xmas get-together

We don't celebrate Xmas, but decided to have a get-together just to eat, be together and give presents to the kids.  Mine were overjoyed when they found out about this heh. Well JE actually... SE is too young to understand what was planned.

Had it at Putien...  (and why it's a good thing I'm not a food blogger)

First dish to arrive, iced bittergourd with honey

Another shot from where I was sitting

Took pics of the next few dishes.  All not presentable.  I'm better at taking pics of cutie pies waiting for food!

Who, me? 

Nah, one final attempt at food pic:

Food! Ermm half eaten mostly

OK, I give up.  Food was good, I always enjoy the various unique dishes here.  And having so many people around meant I could order ALL my favourites!

Sesame Street

Took the girls for Sesame Street Live.  Not that they're fans or anything, but I thought it'd be good to let them have a variety of experiences (need a change from going to the mall! hehe).

So how was it? Hubby dozed off a few times. JE kept asking "Is the show very long?" And asked, "Here got Frozen show also? I prefer Frozen".  And back again to, "This show is very LONG?"  SE was all right but didn't seem to enjoy it all that much.  Oh well. Good thing I brought some snacks along.

(But now a few days after the show, they are still talking about the various characters so maybe it was worth the ticket price!)

They enjoyed the room - watching TV, opening and closing the 2 internal doors, touching this and that.

Time to go eat? But we want to watch TV some more...

And or course, the bath tub!

Yayyy!

It was a nice break. With good food. :)

Random things SE says

SE doesn't pronounce well yet, but she can talk. :)

Cloh eye! Hehehe

*while showing me her arm
SE: The tiger come and bite me
Then it say, so naughty Su Ern
Actually, TIGER ih naughty

*while shaking one leg
SE: Mummy, look at at my feet
Me: Why? why look at your feet?
SE: My feet ih dancing!
(OK, never mind that it should be 'foot'!)

Still cloh eye

And her current favourite self-made 'joke':
I yike Papa, I yike Mummy, I yike Jo-jo, I yike tatak Jen, I yike Su Ern.... 
HAHAHAHAAAAA I yike Su Ernnn (I like Papa, Mummy, Jie-jie, Kakak, SU ERN)

She always laughs real loud at that point!

SE the poser

I was taking photos of the girls.  Was surprised when SE began to pose, coz she'd never done that before this.  Here goes...

Cheese.... 

(Me: Hey I love this one! Snap!)

Cheese..

(Err why one arm up like that? Nvm... snap)

Cheese....

(Ah acting cute. OK also... snap!)

Back side! *hops, turns and holds still

(Haha all right. If that's what she wants... snap!)

Hmmm

Things that make you go Hmmmm....

JE: Kakak! Come quickly.  Bring the broom.

Hmmm.

Oh, it's nothing to worry about

Maid: Bring the broom?  Why?
JE: So dirty here. Got so much hair

Hmmm.

Lalalala

Maid: Hah? Why so much hair?
JE: I don't know. Got so much hair on the floor here,

I'm innocent. See? Look innocent right?

Turned out she had cut out some off some hair off a Barbie doll.  Oh well, at least it wasn't her own hair. Or SE's hair. And actually, it was only off a cheapo McD Barbie doll heh.

Told you, nothing to worry about!

"I thought..."

SE's new phrase is "I thought...".  Upon seeing me covering JE with the nearest convenient blanket, she pointed to it and said '"I thought... bear banket ih MAH banket?  Jo-jo banket ih rabbit".  (Bear blanket is mine, Jojo's is rabbit)

Always got a new phrase for the month (or so), this one!

I thought I don't want Mummy to keep taking photos?

I thought I want to blow bubble also?

Playground

The girls love going to playgrounds.  See the happy faces:

Cheeeeese

*Happy*

Only problem is getting them to leave.
