Beanster family outing April 2011

Yeah it's the 1st PH since I start work. Long weekend! Ok I only worked for 3 weeks which 1 week was off due to XY's hospitalisation. We decided to visit my mum at Bishan since it was 2 days before her 2nd death anniversary.

Our princess in her throne as usual :)

Daughter and daddy in the front seats. I'm just a passenger these days eversince XY realised it's more fun to be in the front seat.



A white rose for my pretty mummy :)

Lunch at a Japanese family restaurant.

XY's 1st kiddy bento. She had this instead of sharing food with me. Quite a cute idea but we had to finish up the omelette and tori karaage since she's such a small eater.

Mama's food. Portion not big but definitely enough to share with little XY.

Boring old man had boring old food...

Grown up little girl doesn't want to be strapped to babychair anymore... No choice her daddy was forced to sit in the opposite chair.

Which meant a new playground for her...

Phew lunch was over and time for her nap while we had a chance to shop around a bit.

This is actually the 1st time ever the family went out early to optimise the PH. Quite a good idea cuz we were back home in time to make dinner. Maybe we should do this again the next PH :))

Mini vacation at KKH

The school sent her to KKH by ambulance. Scared the shit out of me and K!!! The hospital stay concluded without any findings of the cause. Question is should we leave it as it is or go for more checks? Here's the little girl waiting to be wheeled up to ward 62. Still in deep sleep after reaching ward. Complimentary ride provided by the wards. These are hot favourites. All the kids wanna have a ride on it. Oh and of course she had many rides on this too. She now knows how to insert the coin by herself. K is spoiling her too much. 4 rides 1 of the days!! The morning after, another ride eventhough she did not request for it. Does she look like a patient? Gosh, should have worn ward "uniform" for her.
See this video. She was pushing the car around before I reached and when she heard my voice she immediately ran to mummy! *love*
The ultimate terrorist - on drip still can cheeky. Disgrace to be seen by the other patients and their family in the same room.

Bean can eat!

It's amazing what she learns in school. I most definitely did not teach her that.

Beanster family at the zoo - A pictorial

One day before mama goes to work, daddy brought us to the zoo :) Conclustion: K is right!! Cannot bring her for holiday at all. Don't listen to us and cannot sit still. Not even interested in the Animal Show!! Bean, you'd better prove yourself good to daddy so we can go somewhere soon.

Bean goes to the supermarket

Fairprice Compassvale branch, be afraid. Be very afraid!

Little Tikes at Parkway Parade

I wanted to rent this toy car but it was closed for the day. K said "Huh still need to pay $3 an hour" initially. After seeing how much his darling girl enjoyed it, he said "Hey let's buy 1 for her to play at home". Me: "No, our place has no space for that kind of thing".

XY and her new bf

Playing sand at ECP hehehe

A day in the East

The final weekend before MJ starts work. We had a little picnic at ECP with the Mamas :) Yeah I always enjoy meeting up with this group of friends. Bean was having a strawberry at Mac's before we managed to find everyone.

*Ding ding ding* The only kid who did not have a change of clothing went for sand play. Hello, Clarice said not going to let Alden play water/sand so I happily don't pack anything. Ended up all had extra set of clothing except Bean. Haha nonetheless we let her go at the expense of having sandy carseat... Ok it wasn't that bad at all. She enjoyed it very much and it wasn't that messy to clean up at all. The kids at play. Little Ranen was with Mama on the picnic mat.

Our picnic mat scene. No peace when Bean came over. She tried to touch and "disturb" everything in sight.

A priceless pic - Bean's parents acting as if they were childless while Goh, as if she has a daughter, besides her 2 sons (cutie Ranen on her left).

Bean's new bf, Ryan. Wahaha Goh says she "approves". Wait, Bean's dad did not approve ok.

Yep she started out by playing on her own.

2 videos in the next post. Blogger doesn't let me copy the link here.

Recent cooks

Eversince I got confirmed for my new job, 1 of the concerns is the meals for the family. I know I don't cook as often as I should be doing these days but when I'm back to working fulltime it will definitely be impossible to cook at all. Dinner delivery might be 1 of the options eventhough the food may have turned cold but it sure saves the hassle of making another trip downstairs to pack food. Gosh somehow now (as I'm typing this) I'm having cold feet. Do I really want to go back to work? Terrible...

I got the job offer on a Fri and I actually did something that I don't think I have done before - Cook dinner on Sunday!! Must treasure the opportunity to have homecooked meals as much as possible. Poor Bean Bean will be eating a lot of MSG very very soon...



A new dish - Garlic mayo cod fish. Taken off Wokking Mum's blog. Simple and delicious dish. I even used the tail part as recommended by WM. Everyone loves it. Sorry I didn't bother to serve it nicely. Just serv together with the baking paper. *Did I mention that WM is my friend on FB? Very nice and humble lady. I like her.*

The fish is baked and it's still very moist inside.

Seafood XO fried rice.
My bro was very very impressed with the dinner that night. *beams*

Pumpkin rice. I think I did a nice job. Bean even ate almost her whole portion despite being sick. But the next time I cooked it she simply refused to eat it. She's getting very naughty these days.

Sick Bean goes to Prive

*Cough cough cough*

Below medicine all belong to my Bean Bean :(
Cough mixture from PD clinic which doesn't seem very effective so I went out to buy TCM cough powder for her. It smelled quite funny but she is able to drink it. Bad thing is, this morning she kept running about while I was giving her the medication and that led to coughing, which in turn led to her puking out the just swallowed medication AND her breakfast cereal/milk. Wa quite heartbreaking cause I was so happy she finally ate a big bowl but ended up with nothing.



Yeah the plan for today was to have brunch at Prive. I have only been there once with Jeanne (2yrs back!!) and wanted to bring my old man there to "have a look". Have to la. He hasn't been out much you know.

See Miss Bean doing a cheeky look to her daddy.

It was very challenging to keep her seated. Make it impossible! She was running around all the time and best, self-challenge to climb stairs by herself to level 2 (TCC). Stressed man. The more I want to catch her the more she ran away from me. Only K can take it. He entertained her while I was sat there with nothing to do. I have no iphone/ipad to play ok.

Finally after like 20min at least we used some props to lure her back to the table. Props as in the children's utensils provided.

Don't want to sit highchair!!!!!!

Finally a pic with mama.

Food is here. Anyhow take pics. No time for what nice angle.
K's cod fillet burger. Costs as much as a Wagyu burger.

XY's pancake (kid's portion) which she never even swallowed 1 bite. I thought she would be happy to self feed using the fork but she just held on to the fork instead of putting inside her mouth. I tried to take over to feed her but she just kept spitting it out without even biting. We finally gave up. We tested the pancake. It was really gooood. I love it so much that I would honestly order it again if we had the chance to go back.

And my open face BBQ chicken sandwich. Not very nice. Very super salty.

The little girl who preferred to sit on a chair instead of babychair. Her lunch consisted of 3 pcs of fries, few bites of K's cod fish and 1 strawberry (from the pancake). So poor thing eat so little.

Another one with Mama. Bad pic though.

We went to the opposite where there's a big free space. XY loves free spaces so that she can roam about haha.

1 beautiful pic of mama and daughter don't you agree?
(Discount the arms pls)

Um... a disturbing shot. That's what she loves to do these days :P

Erm she tried to do some kind of demo here.
Like trying to jump into the sea... Yes, she put 2 legs into the railings and sat there. I was too slow for that.

Ok she found a buoy just in case....

The kind of things she enjoys doing most.

Doesn't look sick at all right?

10min after all the action, she was soundly asleep in the car. Snoring.
