Exclusive Bonding with Jovin!

Today I took another day of leave. Initially planned to stay and have ample rest at home after all the visiting. However, last night, mum accidentally caused my camera to fall to the ground, thus causing vibrations when taking shots. Hence, I immediately brought the camera to Sony Service Centre at Wisma this morning as I can't survive without camera. I was elated as the camera could be repaired without additional costs though it's no longer under warranty. Apparently, there was a mass repair service for this model's camera series due to the lens. Thus, I benefitted from this as mine was all along ok till the drop last nite. I urged them to speed up the repair if possible, so the receptionist said he will try his best to return me by Fri, else will be next Wed. Jovin had an additional day of rest too as her school is closed for the day, so I brought her along with me.

I didn't feel like lingering in orchard. Hence, brought her to Bugis instead. We had MOS burger and Jovin finished the whole serving of Teriyaki chicken burger and half cup of corn soup! She loved the burger so much and her tummy really felt so bloated! She even told me ' Mummy, I have 5 babies inside!' Haha, by quoting 5 babies, really meant she was very full. Her level of fullness is equated to the no. of babies. If she replies one, it will indicate she's not full. After a hearty lunch, we started browsing around the shops and happened to view a lion troupe performance. Jovin was very excited and even tried to mimic their actions. Guess what? she pestered me to buy a lion troupe performance vcd to fulfill her dance cravings. Goodness, the whole house is now upside down as my little prince also joins in the fun.

There were lots of post CNY sales and the mall was still very crowded to my surprise. We didn't shop for long though. In fact spent more time at the fountain outside BHG. Jovin wanted to join in the wetness too but I didn't bring spare clothing for her so she could only stand aside as a onlooker. We also spent time at the arcade. Bought $5 worth of tokens for her and we played spider stamping, crocodile slamming and drum hitting games. Both of us had so much fun and I really felt so blissful and enjoyed exclusive moments with my princess.

We went home around 4.30p.m and Jovin was dead tired then. The train was very packed but we met 2 kind souls who gladly gave up their seats to us. Jovin slept on the way home cos she was really exhausted. Well, I had to carry her on the journey back home. It was a great afternoon spent with Jovin and I look forward to Jovan growing older so that I can bring both of them all alone by myself :)

Gongxi Gongxi continues......

Our visiting continues on day 2. We went to James's grandmother's place. Every year, it's a real challenge to be there as it's a 3 room flat which needs to house so many of us. Imagine my mother-in-law has 13 siblings with children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren. Can you imagine the crowd? Last year, we were exempted due to my advanced condition as there's practically no room to move around. This year, it's Jovan's first year of visiting and everyone was delighted to see our boy. He was very cooperative and allowed people to carry him. Jovin joined the same age group and guess what? They did colouring haha but it was a good way to keep her entertained. The situation was so 'chaotic' as we were merely collecting and distributing angpows. I've practically no idea whose angpows were they. The only thing I kept asking James was, have we given this kid? Very confusing indeed.

We stayed till 5p.m as Jovan had a good nap which lasted about 1.5 hours. We went to my mum's place for official visit and gathered at Bishan Kopitiam near my sis's condo for louhei. The dishes were average and portion seemed to have shrunk. Guess all due to CNY. Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed the louhei. We shouted for good health, may Crystal achieve outstanding PSLE results this year, career and family blissfulness etc. Jovin happily joined in as James carried her to join in the fun. All these took place when my little prince was sleeping so I could enjoy my dinner in peace. After dinner, we went to my sis's place so that the kids could play and enjoy. We left around 10p.m as the kids still needed to attend school tomorrow.

The past 2 days had been rather hectic as we spent long hours at the visiting places but it's an annual affair and the kids love it. Next year, I bet Jovan will stary enjoying it as he would be almost 2 then. Gonna rest now. Need to 'recuperate' for weekend visits. Good nite :)

CNY Visiting Day 1!

Yesterday was the 1st day of CNY! I woke up very early around 7.30a.m to pack all the necessities for the visiting. Well, bringing a toddler and baby around for a full-day visiting is definitely no easy feat. We have no luxury of going around with 2 mandarin oranges which we used to before marriage. Now =, I had to get ready milk bottles, powder, porridge, diapers etc.before we can set off. Nonetheless, I bathed and dressed up the 2 little 'Js'. Jovan was dressed in the traditional blue outfit with a matching cap and he really looked so adorable haha. Jovin was even dressed up to the nines with her halter neck pink dress with matching pearl accessories. After getting ready, it was almost 1p.m and we went to James's granny's place as usual. The timing was so perfect as we met my in-laws and James's siblings too in the car park. Jovin was so sweet and presented the oranges to the elderly and put her collected angpows in the barbie doll sling bag. She would even take Jovan's angpows and pass to me to ensure safe-keeping hehe. The elderly had a great time chit-chatting while the youngsters ( hehe, we still consider ourselves in this category)had some card games. Great Granny carried Jovan in her arms and she looked so blissful. Jovin was happily entertaining herself carrying the chairs here and there and of course, not forgetting helping herself to the goodies.

Around 4p.m, we left for my Ah Gim's place and it was the usual meet-up point for my family members. There were many guests and my relatives were busy cuddling Jovan and trying to catch his attenntion with all sorts of tricks. Jovan was rather selective in allowing people to carry him. So some of my relatives had to amuse him for rather long before he allowed them to carry him. Jovin had fun with her cousins running in the house, playing heart-attack card games etc.

The nite ended long and we were exhausted when we returned home around 10p.m. The kids were dead tired too. So it didn't take long before they slept. It's Jovan's 1st CNY this round. Time really flies. Still remembered last CNY, I was heavily pregnant with Jovan and he was just born a week after CNY! Haha, friends commented I really timed my delivery so well as I need not be confined during CNY and could savour all the delicacies before I went into delivery. Well, annual CNY visiting is always the same. Eat, gather, play card games. The procedure never seemed to change since I was a kid. But it's all traditions which I believe, should remian and pass on to my little ones. Ok, gotta prepare for the next round of visiting today. Happy CNY to all my dearest pals and wishing u all the good tidings u may have for the year!

Chinese New Year Eve!

This year's CNY eve happened to fall on a Sun, hence we had a great rest at home before proceeding to both parents's place for reunion dinner. Late morning, we even went to nearby Sembawang Shopping Centre and surprisingly, the queue was short and the mall was rather empty, though shops were still open. We grabbed a quick bite at the eatery shop and went to Giant and Daiso. Bought some sundry goods and Jovin enjoyed running around as there wasn't much crowd, so she could have her way, though James had a hard time chasing after her hehe.

In the evening, after settling Jovan's dinner, we set off for my in-law's place and reached around 7p.m. Apart from the norm steamboat, there were great delicacies like stewed abalone, cereal prawns etc and all were whipped up within minutes as it was really tasty. Jovin loved the stewed mushrooms and her panda fish cake which my in-laws specially cooked for her. The most hilarious episode was, as all of us were enjoying the sumptous dinner, dear Jovan happily grabbed a toilet roll within his reach and happily munching it. Oh my! Dear commented our dear boy was so pitiful haivng to eat toilet roll for reunion dinner haha! Jovan stared at us innocently as we took away his toilet roll which he was fiddling with. After dinner, James enjoyed some card games with his siblings while I took care of the little kiddies.

My mother-in-law soon distributed angpows and Jovin was so dear to wish her gongxi gongxi and even was so fearful that we would snatch her angpows haha. Of course, Jovan was too young to understand anything so he let Jovin had her way when she took away his angpow. Soon after, we left for my mum's place and my brother was already there. This year, we bought a new set of steamboat cum teppanyakki and it was very good, really felt like the pro teppanyakki food we have outside. Told my mum we should have this more often as the kids loved it too. We had scallops, prawns, beef etc but all through hot-plate teppanyakki and dear ate so much too. To add on, we had almond jelly with longan and all ours stomaches really felt so bloated.

After clearing up, Jovin and Jerad ran around and played with the luminous bangles we bought from Daiso. Jovan happily crawled around as he played with the tupperware mum had in store for the delicacies hehe. Our final programme was temple praying at Upp Thomson and Guangming Shan . The crowd was still manageable as it wasn't midnight yet. Mum carried Jovan to pray around and dad led Jovin around, teaching her how to bow and pray to the dieties. She was really so pious as she bowed to the dieties , clasped her palms together and kneeled down on the floor. Even passer-bys found her adorable and couldn't help but took a second glance at her haha. At Guangming Shan, Jovan was exhauseted and he fell asleep soon after. We completed all the prayers at 12.30a.m and had some vegetarian food before going home.

It was a late night but was a great experience for the kids, especially Jovin so that she understood it was CNY eve and the need for reunion dinner and temple prayers etc. It's essential these Chinese traditional values remain so that it would not be forgotten as the kids grow up. Looking forward to the CNY visting in the next few hours... BTW, my prayers are really answered as my back pain is slowly recovering. Hurray!

Little 'Js' Bonding Session!

I derive great pleasure and find it very heart-warming when I see my 2 little 'Js' love to play with each other. I've told my friends, Jovin and Jovan really love playing together and all I need to do is give them a basket of mega blocks in the baby cot and both of them can keep themselves entertained for at least an hour. This precious one hour enables me to do so much things. It's so sweet when I see Jovin trying to construct and show her brother her completed 'infrastructure' from the mega-block building. Think there's some truth to the old saying that, elder sisters tend to show more concern and dote on their younger brothers compared to same gender siblings. Be it truth or not, at least I've seen some truth in my 2 'Js' :)

Ushering in the Ox....

Everyone anticipates the year of Ox to be a tough-going one, especially true with the recent negative GDP growth estimate for 2009. For me, really made matters worse as I was down with severe backache pain since yesterday morning. Frankly speaking, really can't recall if I had bumped against the wall past few days as I've been rather clumsy, down with bruises here and then that I often do not recall how I got them too. Thinking the pain might subside and go away but the pain is always terrible after I lay down on bed and wake up in the morning. The pain was really excruciating as I tried to pull myself out from bed. Dear couldn't even help me as he didn't know how to pull me so as not to hurt me. I had to bear with pain, moved and rolled my body to and fro before I could finally stand. It's only after an hour plus then I felt better, could walk properly though bearing with the pain. For the rest of the day, I was rather ok though as long as I have no large movements and guess what? I even managed to go Chong Pang at nite to grab last minute CNY bargains hehe. The crowd was anticipated but both the kids were very happy and they could feel the festive mood too especially for little Jovan who kept jumping and waving his hands as he sat in the pram. Sigh, my greatest fear now comes as bedtime is nearing. Dear asked me to rest in a sitting position so that it would be easier for me the next morning. Guess this is the only way out. Have been putting on muscle rubs and plasters, hopefully these few days the pain will subside, else need to visit sinseh which I hate cos I think I will scream like mad. Sobbbb..... hope that the pain can miraclously go away. Nonetheless, as I still feel ok once I overcome the morning wake-up portion, I can still enjoy CNY goodies, reunion dinner and all the busy visiting lined up ahead.....Hehe.. Hope everything turns out well for me :)

Weekend Shopping!

Last nite, we went to Causeway Point for window shopping . Out target was mainly the large-scale pasar malam which is held annually during CNY. This is the 2nd time since our last visit 2 weeks ago. The stalls were nonetheless the same as any of those pasar malams we see everywhere except for a John Little Bazzar situated there as well which we felt very wierd. We did not buy any things though, however Jovin had a great time with one of those ping pong games machine and she actually won a strawberry shortcake dummy through her own efforts. Jovin was thrilled and felt so proud of herself.

Before going home, we went to MAC Cafe and we ordered corn cup for Jovin. This little girl was so terrible. She screamed when I just took a small spoonful from her and she was so scared that she finished the whole corn cup within minutes! Jovan was playing with the straws and it actually managed to entertain him as both James and I happily enjoyed our beverage. We love these mini family outings as it's always so interesting to see the little actions by our 2 little 'Js'. We look forward to next weekend which is CNY! Will join in the fun next Sat late night which is one day before CNY eve and our nearby ChongPang estate will be buzzing with people. Hehe, will join in the fun!

4th Wedding Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary. Time really passes by in a flash. 4 years ago, this was the day we went through the traditional rites and officially pronounced as husband and wife in the eyes of all our relatives and friends. Today, we are still as loving as ever with the addition of 2 lovely bundles of joy, Jovin and Jovan.

We do not lavishly celebrate the special ocassion. However, we always make it a point to enjoy and cherish quality couple time to mark this special day. After James knocked off, he picked me up from Bishan around 8p.m and we went to Marina Square. Well, dinner was a simple one at Food Court as we have a hidden agenda for our part 2. Dear and I decided to head for Pan Pacific Lounge. Pan Pacific Hotel was the place where we held our wedding banquet then, so we thought it's a great place where we can relive our wedding memories then. The ambience was great. We were greeted by lovely waitresses and we placed our orders. The food and beverage items were definitely not cheap, however for the ambience and with live singing performance, we felt it was worth it. The familiar venue flashed back our wedding memories. We talked about our wedding preparation then, how we landed up with Pan Pac and how we've come so far today with our 2 little ones. Dear even commented sometimes he really couldn't believe he's now a father of 2 and we've actually come so far since JC 2. Haha, one sweet compliment that he made was that, he's really impressed that I could still maintain my figure after 2 child births and he felt proud of me, hehe thks dear. That really makes my day. It was really so relaxing and a laid back session with dear.We talked anything under the sun. For that 1 hour+ at the lounge, we really returned to couplehood days.

We've walked hand in hand for the past 13 years since courtship and went through ups and downs. Our future lives would definitely be more focused towards kids raising and education. However, the love between us would firmly stand and we look forward to celebrating countless wedding anniversaries together.

Rewarding Parenthood!

Take a peek at my weekday personal timetable:

7p.m Reached Mum's place after fetching Jovan
8p.m Finished Dinner
8.30p.m Bathe Jovin
9p.m Colouring /Assessment Book Time with Jovin
10p.m Bonding with Jovan
11p.m Story-Telling session with Jovin
11.30p.m Bed Time!

Ever since Jovan is born, I have even lesser rest time. Usually for weekdays, I will sleep at 1a.m and wake up at 7 a.m. Hence, I try very hard to stick to my above personal schedule above so that I can have ample rest. Still working very hard to achieve that. Sometimes, really very exhausted after work and really felt like missing coaching Jovin a session or 2. However, our dear princess is really very enthusiastic. She has become accustomed to the schedule that she will bring out her books and stationary set, reminding me time's up for her lesson. She loves colouring and learning the letters and numbers with me! However, she only wants me instead of James to conduct the session with her and our dear boy is really so much gluey to me compared to James. Sigh, guess all kids are really closer to mothers by nature. Nonetheless, James will do story-telling sessions with Jovin and will still try very hard to foster the bonding with Jovan. Having 2 kids really not easily manageable but very fulfilling too as I see Jovin improving each day with her use of language and Jovan slowly learming to stand longer without support every night. That's how rewarding parenthood is :)

Annual CLDDS CNY Reunion Dinner

Every year without fail, we will hold an annual CNY reunion dinner with our JC CLDDS mates. From singles to couplehood to families, our numbers have been increasing. Last night, we had the dinner at T3. Chose the place mainly because we anticipate lesser carpark problems and there's bigger space for the kids to roam around. Intially, we thought there would be 5 kids in total. However, Yuling and Lijuan did not turn up last minute, thus leaving only my 2 little 'Js'. We had dinner at Crystal Jade Shanghainese restaurant. Found the dishes palatable and unique. The dishes catered to most of our tastebuds. We all strongly felt that the price at $30+/pax is far more worthwhile than the steamboat we had last year at Suntec City.




After dinner, we left for usual cuppa session at TCC. Wanted to go Yakun intially but there wasn't ample space for our big group. As we went to TCC, Jovin took some lovely shots with her so-called big fan and Baoling jiejie. Our girl was full of smiles and was in high spirits. Jovan was a bit cranky though. We immediately made him milk as we reached TCC and Jovin was engrossed watching Barney vcd for a while. However, she was soon distracted as she took an interest in Tingting's comb and mirror and earrings. One of the interesting scenes was that, Jovin knew that Tingting is now carrying a little baby in her womb and ocassionally, she would stop her activities to touch and feel her baby. When Tingting asked her if she thinks it's a boy or girl, she replied girl affirmitively. Haha, let's see if it turns out to be true :)

Jovan wasn't too cooperative though and James and I had to take turns carrying him around. I placed Jovan on dear's shoulders, followed by Junwei and Andy's. Haha, all 3 had a taste of Jovan's saliva and Jovan had so much fun dribbling with it!



To mark the ocassion, we had a group photo taken, though not perfect but it was the best we could especially with 2 young kids around. It was a great gathering. Always enjoy and cherish the long-time friendship of this group of JC pals. We really withstood through JC, uni days till present when most of us have started families. Hope this friendship bond will stay long-lasting......

Embracing CNY atmosphere!

The best place to feel CNY atmosphere is undoubtedly Chinatown. Come to think of it, I haven't been there to roam the streets for 2 years+ due to my pregnancy. Last night, we decided to bring Jovin to Chinatown after work. We settled for quick dinner at my mum's place and set off by MRT around 6.30p.m. Jovan was left in the good care of my in-laws as we considered it would be too inconvenient bringing him along in pram and he was still having running nose and cough too. Jovin was very excited, dressed in her Barney dress, put on her sandals and happily held our hands.She happily sang on the bus and MRT, in very high spirits.

It was a breeze reaching Chinatown by MRT. Jovin was enchanted and fascinated by the sound of firecrackers, CNY songs and lightings. The streets were full of crowd so James had to carry Jovin when the streets were very crowded. There were many stalls which sold items targeted at the kiddies like drum ( Jovin was hooked onto it and I ended up buying a small one!), malt candies, magic toy ( kena conned spending 5 bucks and bought for Jovin, sigh...), flashing light sticks etc. All targeted to burn parents's holes.....



As we walked, we were thirsty and bought sugarcane drink, fishballs, and some snacks. We sat by one of the corners and Jovin enjoyed the fishballs. I enjoyed the seaweed cuttlefish, thought the taste was something special too. We resumed after recharging our tummies and it was a rewarding nite as we bought a big pack of items including new sleepwear for the kids, traditional outfit for Jovan, CNY decor, cheapo shoes for myself ( haha last min great bargain at $5!!!), princess dress for Jovin etc.




The most hilarious scene was that, Jovin was attracted by the CNY singing performance put up by the senior citizens. She was singing and dancing along with the rythm and the nearby audience were looking at her instead as she stood on the chair shaking her bums, legs and arms. We wanted to leave but she insisted in watching the performance. Both James and I were so amused by her. Haha.....

We went for some dessert and ordered milo for our girl. At the same time, we met the God of Wealth who was making his rounds distributing 4D red packets and sweets. Jovin is now no longer afraid as she used to be when she was younger. She even went to pull his moustach and shook hands with the 2 Gods hehe. It was already 11p.m when we left but our girl was still very energetic then, no signs of sleepiness.

The Chinatown trip was great this round and Jovin loved a lot as she came home and told my mum what she saw at Chinatown etc. Counting down to CNY in another 2 weeks time! Perhaps will make another visit to Chinatown with my mum again :)

Jovin's new love!

Came across this beautiful large pink house toy called 'MY LOVELY HOME' at Kiddy Palace on one of the weekends. Jovin loves it a lot and pestered us to buy for her then. However, daddy James did not really buy Jovin's words, so we didn't buy eventually. However, on Mon, I was on half day. Went to Causeway Point after doing hair services with my regular stylist at Northpoint. Guess what? I bought Jovin the humongous house! It was actually so inconvenient as I had to carry the bulky long item, trying to swerve through the crowds from the mall to MRT and finally home. Placed the toy in the toys room, wanting to give our dear princess a surprise. Told James about it and he commented I was crazy but this is motherly love. Fathers won't understand it. On Tue night, my mum fell sick so we returned to Sembawang for the night. Jovin was soooooo....thrilled when she saw the huge pretty pink house on the mattress! James spent sometime with her on placing the fridge, desk, chairs, the figurines etc. We could actually leave her alone and she managed to concentrate on the toy, shifting the 'furniture' here and there, forming a story by her own and relating to us the figurines are daddy, mummy, didi etc. Girls are eventually girls. This exudes the feminine side of our little princess. Conclusion: Worthwhile buy!

Housewarming Session!

Last weekend, after our excursion at Downtown East in the day, we went to James's uni pal, Chwee Ling's place at Telok Blangah in the night time. Haha, as usual, we are among the last to arrive at 8.30p.m cos the kids needed to sleep and I had to settle their dinner before we could leave. Guimei, Jasmine and Wenshan were so excited to see the 2 kids though they just saw the 2 little Js during our X'mas gathering. James and I were famished and we could actually sit down and enjoy the great feast as the 3 ladies were busy fussing over our 2 kids and loved to play with them. We've got great babysitters, hehe! Guimei prepared a lot of dishes like home-made pizza, satay etc and the lovel host prepared ribs which they marinated themselves. Impressed! Perhaos we were starving so we finished almost all!

Chwee Ling recently ROMed with Gaowei but their customary will only be later in Dec this year. Both are simpletons who did not re-renovate the place though it was resale. The house furnishings looked well maintained though and there was even a bath tub amidst the 5-rm flat! Our friends loved to play with our 2 kiddies and the 2 were friendly towards them too. Though both were a bit sick, down with flu and cough, they still enjoyed playing with the aunties.

Soon after, Jasmine and Guimei left with their partners and the remaining group of us played board games similar to charade. We split up into males vs. females and had fun several rounds till it was put to a halt by our dear Jovan who made 'gold mine' ! Well, as they had no kids, so we had to scramble finding a suitable place to change Jovan. Intially, Chwee Ling even suggested their dining table which they STRESSED they really don't mind. However, we were really paiseh so managed to find a corner where it's breezy. James's friends looked at both of us changing his nappy and commented next time they would need to engage us when they have kids haha!

A surprise was in store for us when we saw a kaya cake for James! It wasn;t really a birthday cake but the taste was splendid. All listened to Jovin's sweet voice as she sang birthday song for her dearest daddy in English and Chinese. James's best pal, Krist looked so envious. Jovin enjoyed the cake and all of us had wine to boost the nite. It was a wonderful gathering spent with them. Looking forward to our next meet-p during Jovan's 1 yr old birthday bash on 28 Feb :)

A Family Day

It was 3rd Jan 2009, a cloudy Saturday morning.

Today, I took a half day leave and accompanied my dear wife to a family day event organize by her office at Downtown East. We reached there at about 9.30 a.m and the forum was already filled with people. Well, our young ones are always the focus of attention and not to mention our little Jovan. His selling points are his “lumpy, drooping” cheeks. Good to touch and nice to pinch. Even I could not resist them and not to mention dear's colleagues.

We had a simple buffet style breakfast with bee hoon, fish cakes and nuggets. They have a lucky draw but as usual, we only have the luck to see people collect prizes and clap hands. After the lucky draw, each family is left to their own free time. We then proceed to the Escape theme park . The admission is free as it is part the family day’s event. I remembered when we last visit this theme park, Jovin was only one plus. Nothing in the theme park changed since then except for our little darling. I believe she would be eligible to most rides by now.

Brave and daring as my little girl appears to be, there were some rides that she still chickened out. The mini roller coaster still gave her the shivers after she sat one round with dear. The flying superman thingy whereby she backed out even before the ride begins. There’s also the water shooting little boats which she backed out after getting a few squirts on the face. Nevertheless, she still enjoyed some of the rides like the Too - Too train, slow moving merry go round airplanes and the Kart racing.

Though it was a short family day event I still enjoyed thoroughly with my family.

Daddy James's 32nd!

It was dear's birthday yesterday! 2 Jan 09 marks his 32 years in this world. This is the first year James is celebrating with Jovan. Both of us didn't take leave though. After work, we brought the kids to UE Square and guess what? Jovin had presents instead! James bought her a pair of boot-cut pink coloured shoes which Jovin chose herself. There's flower trimmings at the side of the shoes and Jovin fancied it a lot. The brand COLEXXXX was really expensive. Her shoes cost so much more than mine! The shoes we bought for Jovin cost $50! Actually told James it was too pricey but out of love for our princess, he didn't want to disappoint her, so he gladly made the payment since we wanted to buy her a new pair to replace her current worn out shoes from the same brand too. James commented it's worth it as the shoes are comfy for her little feet and the material is durable for daily wear. Jovin loved the shoes so much that she didn't want to take off and wore it straight!




We went to Soup restaurant for dinner upon dear's request.Ordered the set meal. Jovan was rather cooperative whole night in his pram drinking milk and taking bits of rice which I fed him. Jovin loved the ever famous soup so much that she really snatch James and my share. We ended up having to order another bowl. Guess what? Jovin went to the extent of checking our bowls to ensure there isn't any left! My goodness! However, Jovin was really dear enough and sang a birthday song for daddy and fed him food. See how blissful daddy James looked?




It was very late after we had dinner. Took a quick walk but most shops have closed. Jovin and Jovan had fun at the play area pressing the illuminated animal blocks on the wall. James carried both of them high up to touch the CNY lanterns and both giggled and had so much fun with daddy.It was a fun yet simple birthday celebration for dear. He said he's happy enough to have us to mark this special day with him. True, as long as the House of 'Js' are together, we feel blissful always.

Dearest hubby, here's to wishing u a happy 32nd birthday and I will always love u dearly just as u always do. The kids and I will forever be your pillar of strength whenever u need us :)
