Bukit Panjang Library was open again! What a very long wait, it had been very inconvenient having to travel to West Mall, Lot 1 or Jurong East to visit the libraries.
The spanking new library was awfully amazing. It was so pretty from afar, it looked like some chic art shop or museum and not the fuddy-duddy restrictive environment we were used to.
You could even see how the books were moved on the conveyor belts and sorted into different bins.
Arty-farty facades which made for good photo spots
The layout was completely revolutinsed, there were many corners for people to cozy up with the books, it was a tad bewildering for me though.
We found the books we donated to the National Library. ha
Jun had taken a liking to books to. That day, i was going through the school readers from Tong's school with Tong, and Jun sat through the whole reading session for half an hour. Tong had an earlier headstart, he could recognise many sight words and was pretty good with blending. I wondered if Jun would take to reading even earlier? Ha but as it was, he was still uttering mainly mono-syllabic words...unlike jie, who was talking in full sentences when she was two...
Leisurely day, lounging on the sofa, without cares in the world...jun had become a little TV addict...and a ipad addict too, often repeating "pad pad pad pad" when he reached ah ma's house.
Random things
ha, xun's 1G class photoshoot
Now, they even offered the candid and informal versions!
A photo of xun when she was 5? 6?
A friend sent me this photo. They had so many exciting activities during recess. No wonder Xun enjoyed going to school so much.
Oh the side gate to the bus stop was open! Yay, we would never have that sinking feeling of watching the bus go past us while we were walking from the side entrance at the petrol station to the bus stop. What convenience!
Oh, this little boy was growing up so quickly, he was finally putting on some meat on that lithe puny frame...well, we prayed that he would be tall and lanky, big and strong...
Ha, at Candice's wedding, oh this pair of cute little cousins. We posted the picture in the Cousins' chatgroup and it sparked a discussion on how we could have all the little ones helping out at Xiaoshu's wedding...jun could be the ringleader (ring bearer, ha) and lead all the big ones. That would would be so utterly adorable.
Oh a photo of mama's and the class she covered for some 5 months. It was daunting at first, I had not taken a p3 class for quite some time. These kids were so bright and chatty, they were a lovely bunch. I had never taken photos with my own past classes, I should have. Someday, some of these kids might turn out to be movers and shakers of Singapore...
I hoped i had played a tiny part in seeding ambitions and big dreams in them...
We were teaching Jun to say "I love you". He would crinkle up his cute little handsome face and squeeze his eyes shut...acting all coy and sheepish...haha
Would you believe that this was actually Tong and not Jun? Ha, they were like peas in a pod.
Papa bought this top "The girls just love me" for jun...it attracted some smiles from the ladies we encountered in the course of the day.
wOW, what was this tiny tyke doing among the alcoholic drinks?
He had been taking the kangaroo on excursions. He liked dainty soft toys...ha...he was on the other side of the glass and pressing his lips against it. This silly munchkin.
I loved inhaling his baby ru-yi oil fragrance...
ha, our little xun with that mischievous grin
All snuggled up on ah ma's bed...
only papa was pretending to be asleep, the trio were really taking a siesta...
Well, we were at the plaza and he requested for a photo with the grass mats. Hmmm, I supposed he was like his gor gor, who liked to take photos at strange spots.
Waiting outside Bukit Panjang Pri school for jie jie to come out...he was a friendly fellow, he would even let the school auntie who unlocked Gate C carry him to look over the parapetso he could catch a glimpse of his beloved jie jie ambling to the staircase from the canteen...
On a Sun when mama had to work, papa went on an adventure with the threesome...
On an ordinary school day, we actually made time to go to the River Safari. We had utilised the Friends of the Wild so well, we had totally covered the cost of the membership. Up till date, we had gone to the Night Safari 4 times, zoo and River Safari a few times and even the Bird Park!
Ha, looked like they were on a wobbly bridge and going to fall off the precipice.
at their cousin's birthday party. We were at Aunt Weili's new condo...ah...always great to visit new homes to get new ideas for renovating our next house!
the lazy bums of the house...
ha, saw this cut-out at church the other day...giggles..it was really amusing to see tong in here
jie had to stay back on Mon for extra ND celebration rehearsal. We took food to her and went up to the hall. All the jies were so enamored with the little one that they were constantly surrounding and chasing him. ha...well, this little one would not remain little for very long...let us treasure his littleness and cuteness for now...
