Had a mini celebration with them at home. Instructed Hui to buy some slices of cake home. He had forgotten about the candle! So we used matchstick instead! So creative!
How did they managed to bite until like that?!

Sweet 18th Months
Finally they are into the 18th mths. A big celebration because they are half way mark to 3years old. And once they reach 3yrs old, they will attend few hours drop-off playgroup. Wonder how well they will adapt to the environment without parents around and surrounded by strangers.

A fulfilling Saturday
Celebrated hui's brother 24th birthday at Waruku, East Coast for dinner. Since it was just beside Polliwogs, how can we give it a miss since we were already so near it. But before we went Polliwogs, we head down to Zoophonics at Upper Serangoon for their open house.
Remembered in my previous blog, I mention I am finding a school for the girls to attend when they turned 18mths. Have shortlisted the following:
1) Julia Gabriel
2) Zoophonics
3) Little Neuro Tree
4) Growing Up Gifted (GUG)
5) Mindchamps
Julia Gabriel was my first choice but the waiting list is horrible. No calls from them yet so I assume my queue is way far behind. Did some research online and some feedback from friends and shortlisted the above schools incase JG did not revert back to us by Jan 2010. After reading some reviews from forum, I went to zoophonics at Tampines to take a look and talk to the teacher there. Hui did not had quite a good impression of the school because of the location and the old looking classroom. Moreover the Zoophonics at Tampines branch is not that near to our house.
However, upon knowing the Upper Serangoon branch had opened, I called up the school and they sent me a brochure on the open house on 28th and 5th Dec. So I head down on 28th to take a look at the environment with the girls and Hui. After attending the 10mins short parent talk and talking to the various teacher there, Hui and I decided to signup for the weekly enrichment class. Registration fee were waived for signing up during the open house. So I saved $60 for 2 kids! E&C were also quite comfortable there walking from classroom to classroom and playing with anything that they were interested in. Elsie even started to interact with the teacher and the chinese teacher praise her for being a smart girl.
They will start attending school next year 9th Jan. Moreover it is only a 10min drive from our house..Woohoooo...
Depending on the progress, if the girls had show great improvement, I might let them continue and put Julia Gabriel on hold if they called me up.
So after visiting zoophonics@upper serangoon, we head off to Polliwogs. Again the girls had a fun time there execising their little body. Seems they are quite familiar with the environment now and able to climb up those steps and pass each obstacles easily.
They love the slides alot. So do the parents! :)
Aiming for the slide again at another area.
Trying to pass the ball out of the small hole.
They did succeeded in the end, all by themselves!
Elsie: Is mei mei in there??
Chloe: Yes, Jie Jie! I am here! Surrounded by the balls!

My first big big Xmas tree!
It's was my childhood wish to be able to own and decorate a big xmas tree since young. But my mum do not allow us to have a xmas tree at home because she said our house had an altar. And xmas is a day which is for the christian and catholic, not buddhist.
After I got married and move out, I had no chance to get a xmas tree too because I don't know if my parents-in-law will mind having a big tree in the house. Moreover they had an altar too. But I did had a small one bought from Hui's BIL and I put it in our room. However, the size was not what I had wanted. No fish, prawn also can lah...
Then later move to SIL house for a year, I did not get a xmas tree too...
And this year 2009, I finally fulfilled my dream! Hui and I are now a proud owner of a 210cm Christmas Tree! The process of setting up the tree and getting the ornaments to decorate the tree is fantastic!
Getting ready to assemble the tree
The manual guide
My man behind my tree!
Almost done, left the top part to fix
The almost ready tree. Need to spread out each branches to complete it.
Yeah, my naked Christmas tree is up!
Decoration is also up!
Standing as tall as my door!
And finally lightings to spice up the tree!
What is still missing??? Presents under the tree!!
Hui and I had come to an agreement that we each will source present for our girls. One kid 1 present. Then we will buy 1 cheap gift for each other. Probably budget $20. Both of us cannot know what gifts we buy for the girls and the other party. On the actual day, all gifts will then be reveal.
Also not forgetting our maid. We will combine to buy a gift for her. So before christmas, we will have 7 presents under the tree! Wohoo...I am getting excited already for Christmas! I am all ready for Christmas party!!

End up both fell asleep in the room.
Hubby managed to wake up close to midnight to feed milk. Wifey continue to sleep until 12.30am as she got woke up by the whinning from the girls.
Wifey was upset that this was how they celebrated their actual 9th year pator anni. Woke up, went to toilet and intended to go back sleep after brush the teeth. This time Hubby took out a box from the freezer!
Durain cake from emicakes
The time is AM, not PM! Eating durain cake at almost 1am! We are mad!
Look at both our tired face!
Shared 1 slice, rest put into fridge and off to bed
The daytime was spent as per normal with both working and having dinner at home. This is the blurrest and lousiet celebration the couple had for their pator anni. For the past few years, it was usually spent in a hotel room! If not, at least a sumptuous dinner! Hopefully the 10th Anni celebration will be a much better one than this!
