The Chronicles of the Tay Family: (Jul / Aug 19) Dragon playground, Sugnei Buloh Wetland Reserves

Wai po sent me this photo when I was at work. I always said that she was a witch for the children were always well-behaved in her house but wrecked havoc when they were at home with me. ha

Little mei could sit up well and attempted to climb out of the chair. Wai po said that she was a really bright and agile girl.

Went to Chinatown to attend the art exhibition that Wai po participated in. Saw beautiful wall murals and could not resist taking photos with them. Seemed like we were back in Malacca!

Ah, the school's book character day and Jun asked to buy a ninja suit too! ha...check out the cute red little ninja

out to ensure safety in the neighbourhood...he took off the mask when we were near Hillion Mall. it was too hot.

new claw machines! alas, I was no good at such things.

our little imp was growing up so beautifully

ah the Korean princess and the big ninja werev back from school

did mei's face look as big as jun's?

mama and papa went out on a date! watched a comedy musical "Ah Beng", a show we had been following over the years

Lunch at Aunt Annie's house. Ha, the boy was a couple of months younger but they looked the same size! Ah...sleeping in the same bed at such a tender age?

BBQ with the EY teachers. They gushed about how lovely the children were.

Ha, Jun saw this huge poster and pretended to tap his card.

The Brazilian players with their daddy

You had wanted to stack on top of Daddy...eh...not quite achievable

haha mama did not like to take photos when she was in her PJs...but oh well...the kids asked for a family shoot

Jun started taking photos like Gor Gor and he took this without me realizing...ha

Well...he did take cute photos of mei mei

ha....and gor too. Mei mei was his new model...no longer jun jun, boo hoo hoo

Not too bad a shot by Jun

Went to Anders's birthday party and finally checked out the dragon playground which jun talked about going to everytime we drove past it.

Our iconic dragon playground which had been used in many SG promotion materials

Ha Waigong with the little baobei.

Family photo for er yi

We had intended to go home but the kids asked if they could continue playing at waipo's house and so here we were!

Yanjie adored Jun while You You enjoyed playing with tong tong.

Oh our little bundle of joy was 5 months old! She was heavy for her age (75%) but rather stumpy (50%)...hahaha

She had been such a delight to behold. I thought that she was the cleverest of the lot. She knew how to read people's feelings very well. One night, papa scolded her for crying badly when mama was bathing and he carried her.

She was so subdued and dare not look at papa.

Our little Jun had been rather temperamental nowadays, insisting on wanting his way...and slightly more quarrelsome especially when he was with gor gor...

Well, all of them had phases...and they would all pass. At 6 months old, mei mei was sleeping very badly (gone were the long naps) and she always wanted to be carried.

Oh well...it was tiring but I knew it would be just for a season. I loved hugging that fragrant rotund squishy body.

Ha, drank this highly raved brown sugar milk tea with pearls and it was a waste of calories!

Into beyblades nowadays...they were battling daily at home

Grandma Joanne finally came to Singapore!

We went to the River Safari with her after school and invited her to our house for dinner and chatted late into the night. She was so precious to us, we hoped to visit her again in USA a few years later.
