Swimming!

Bought the girls for a swim on 14th June at the newly open Jurong Safra. This is the first time Elsie went for a swim and it was Chloe's 2nd time. Obviously Chloe was more comfortable going down into the pool and enjoying her kicking skills. Elsie on the other hand was more afraid and refused to get down into water. We had to carry and accompany her by the side. It was a total different situation at home in her bath tub where she will kick and play with water using all her force. We thought she would like to get into pool since a swimming pool had a bigger surface area for her to play with water. But apparently she was rather afraid compared to Chloe. Anyway I'm sure things will change if we bring her for a swim again the 2nd time!

Outing as a couple...

Escape from work today to have some quality time with Hui. No kids, no maid. Only the 2 of us! Hui was off from reservist today and so we decided to catch a movie and had dinner outside, like the patoring or before pregnancy days!

We went Marina Square to catch 'Angel & Demons'. Many said it's a very nice show so we thought might be a good choice for a $7.50 ticket. Came out of the cinema abit disappointed because I feel it was not as nice as what I had expected. I thought the storyline would be a devil cult killing people to prove their existance against the god but end up the killing was actually a one-man show - an employed killer. Those who watched the movie told me the ending is very unexpected so I am expecting something really great. Turned out the saviour of the whole event is actually the mastermind of the whole execution and then burnt himself to death when being discovered. What an ironic way to end the whole show.

After the movie, had dinner at Sakae sushi. Sushi!! Yes, haven't been touching sushi ever since I discovered I am pregnant! And due to breast feeding, I didnt dare touch sushi because not sure if the raw and cold sushi will affect my milk which will then pass on to the girls.

After almost 2 years, I am back at the conveyor belt enjoying my colored plates sushi! Not to forget the red plate - salmon sashimi!!!
See my contented and delighted face:

Bumbo seat SOLD

Sold off their Bumbo seats today at a good price. It's very hot in the Want-To-Sell thread in SingaporeMotherhood forum. Alot of mummies like to buy 2nd-hand bumbo because babies outgrow it very fast and it's a waste of money to buy a first hand which cost $80+ at the retail store. I bought the 2 bumbos from the Want-To-Buy thread too and is in a very good condition. When I sold it off it's actually still in a good condition because this lazy and forgetful mummy always can't remembered to bring out the bumbo seats for the girls to sit. So now when she occassionally remembered, it seems abit tight for chloe's butt and the girls would climb out of the bumbo themselves. These are the signs of telling me it's time to sell it away and clear space for other toys :)

See the difference when they sit on the bumbo when they are 5.5 and 7 months old Vs 1 year old now!
