12 Jan 2013 _ Cloud Forest
went to Garden By The Bay and visited the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome.
i must say that these 2 places were very well planned and maintained. the amount of planning and labour that went into these places must be huge, and really do make singapore live up to its' name as a Garden City.
the cloud forest really give you the feeling of being in a rainforest, high up on some hill. the waterfall and mist (as cloud) really do give one a realistic feeling. the nice cool temperature also help one to forget that you are in tropical singapore. there are also many levels for you to explore and learn about our environment.
as for the flower dome, the plants are well taken care of and there is an astonishing variety of plants. the cool temperature helps the flowers to bloom beautiful. it was almost as if i was back in UK, where you can see nice big blooms. it was simply amazing to see and touch the different plants. makes one appreciates the beauty of nature. and with CNY coming right up, flower dome will truely brighten up the spring celebration!

My little man!
my little man, bry, has been really good these few days.
he is now able to sit on the dinning chair and eat his dinner without making a big mess or fuss. he is now able to poo on his own, sitting on the toilet bowl (without any kiddy toilet seat). he is now able to bathe on his own under the shower head without feeling scared.
he has been a relative good boy these days, able to play on his own and read books with simple words.
he has also been rather stickly, think just craving for attention, and cries when he feels that his toys (his soft toys) are not being nice to each other. ok, i made them (toys) fight.
he now enjoys watching Finding Nemo, he was so frightened by the scene which Nemo was captured, but now laughs along with Dory when she speaks whale.
he also loves Cars 2 and pretends that his toys cars are racing.
all these he can do on his own.... wow, my little man is growing up.

The Dreaded Chinese New Year 2013 - Preview
ok..... the biggest holiday for chinese is coming right up, yes Chinese New Year 2013 is coming. and i dread it. you may say "hey, it is the year of the snake and you are born in the year of the snake!" it is my year and i am proud of it BUT CNY gives me the shivers.
here's why:
1. mad rush of cleaning. just in case inspector relatives come knocking.
2. mad rush to stock up food. cos most/all suppliers will be closed for days, so it is like preparing for war.
3. mad rush to get new clothes, at least for kids.
4. preparing red packets. and hoping that i have not missed out anyone important.
5. bored kids. no school and they are at home.
i have already washed the curtains in dec 2012, so they should be relatively clean during CNY in feb 2013.
just have to start slowly buying frozen mixed vegs and some canned food. the fresh stuff, vegs and fruits, will have to wait. the worst is the price increase and the most affected food will be the meat and seafood, not to mentioned the variety will be restricted to the "big and expensive" types.
red packets as below. i have not completed the packing but 90% done!

Running Man Asian Tour 2013
there has been rumours for a long time that RM will be venturing out of korea and into our backyard.
after the successful filming at thailand, hongkong and china, RM will be off to another asian country. RM PD choi was in singapore in dec to attend some film awards (seriously i dun really care why he is here), and poiltely hinted in an interview that RM may come to sg.
ha ha (RM memeber) recently went to vietman for his honeymoon and it was then rumoured that RM will be going there. also many malaysian fans hinted that malaysia will be the next location of choice.
RM officially announced that it will be filming in two countries in 2013 but did not disclose the countries. rumours are flying non-stop on the net as to where RM will be going. it is likely to be two countries that are close to each other, then again which asian countries are not close to each other.
now, RM has gone to thailand twice (once with nickhun and park ji sung) so i dun think thailand will be one of the countries. singapore is small but RM can go play at Universial Studios at RWS. malaysia legoland will be another good choice.
pls RM come to singapore. i will not be there to stalk you but will feel good to be on the same land together!

Today Myself
now that lessons are officially underway at the childcare, bry has started playing "teacher" again.
he used his whiteboard and taught his toys about "myself". when i went to check on him, he has wrote myself, nose, eye and hait (should be hair). i was surprised that he could spell myself. i did teach him how to recongise and spell nose and eye, but that was months ago.
as i mentioned, a teacher is very important and am grateful that he has such an excellent teacher this year. mrs liang is really an outstanding teacher, putting the kids' welfare and needs first. although i must admit that i sometimes feel quite stressed to re-enforce/follow-up on the teachings at home, but it is worth the effort/pain/frustration to see how well bry has progressed.

Back To School
today is the first day of school and dom is starting primary 2 this year.
i dun know why but i am feeling rather anxious about him starting school this year. worried about him carrying his bag (since he is still quite small built), worried about him adapting back to school life, worried about him forgetting to bring his books etc.
i guess i will have more to worry about when bry starts primary school next year. gonna be taking at least 1 week of leave just to standby for emergencies.
