Xmas 25 Dec2009

This year Xmas celebration with the same old clan is rather a simple & quiet one.. Run out of innovative idea ..but nonetheless, it is well spent with our close frens.. Next yr onwards, more kiddos be joining, eventually it'll be a kiddo xmas party rather for us adults..hee.. waiting for tat day, coz Rayden is quite bored being the only kid tat nite.. haa...
So, it's the Xmas Dinner @Buckaroo + Wii Party @our place.

This year, Rayden get to be the Santa Claus, to decide who get which gifts.. ANd of coz he's the winner of all, he got the most pressie...

Hee.. i am quite proud, to know that Rayden love the gift I chosen for him..hee His own private house.. LOL ...
good & bad... now most of the time, he "escape" from us to run into his "Safe lil house"... it's so tough to lure him out!!

Dec Activities - XMas Lightings & Mall shows!

I guess I am even more excited than Rayden.. haa.. Decided to bring Rayden to attend those cartoon character shows.. I have been lazy all these years, never bother to bring Rayden for such shows..hee
Finally, decided to move my fat butt & get going ..hee I think Rayden is gg to enjoy them!

Hubby just got his new toy, a Nikon D90 from AudioHouse at Suntec Hall. We got it slightly above the cheapest retail price, but with the less than $100 more, we actually got more freebies,which is rather worthwhile, like the tripod, dry box etc..
Hubby is so excited with his new toy. We have been outside filming the xmas lightings, during mall shows and during gathering... Hee.. BUT BUT BUT.. up to now, he still havent download them to our PC. Hence no sample yet.. These pics are from our Panasonic Lumix LX3, the quality is good, but the zoom is nothing great.

Mall shows:

Barney & Friends (5-Dec Sat 2pm)
Proceeded to United Square after Rayden's Berries Class. Reached there around 115pm, oh gosh the queue is already so long, I gotta turn round & around to find the tail of the queue, but while searching, I saw Charlene & family.. hee So of course I jumped queue :P
Little Rayden & Charmaine & her cousin enjoyed the show.. though they are not as enuthausatic as other kids, they are the cool gang. Hahaha
But I personally feel the show is nice, their songs are so catchy.













Bob the Builder (6-Dec Sun 7pm)
Suggested to have dinner with my pa & mum @Jurong Point, actually got hidden agenda, I wanna watch the show.. hee Reached there around 640pm, as expected, cant enter only more. Hence we linger around the area & watched.
But it's rather boring, luckily I did take the efforts to queue for it.. Hee.. After the show, we proceeded to Din Tai Feng for dinner.. yummy!




SpongeBob SquarePants (12-Dec Sat 7pm)
While i collect my iphone at Suntec Convention Hall, the rest of the folks accompanied Rayden to watch this musical.. don't know much abt this cartoon, but joined in the fun since we were there..


Hi-5 Muscial (13-Dec Sun 1pm)
This is definitely the best shows among we hv watched..more lively & interactions.. Even myself enjoyed..Worth the 1 hr wait.. but haa i do not wish to go thru such hassle again next yr ...
Hubby wasnt free tat day, he dropped us there then proceed to his own events. Picked us up ard 4pm then to 313 to mit up with my parents to explore the new shopping mall. Hee.. Nice mall!

Merchant Court Buffet - 4 Dec2009

My first Xmas dinner this year.. Thanks to lovely Jazz for asking me to join, it's a fun fun fun dinner.. and thanks my darling Santa, your gifts are indeed so thoughtful!! notty gal! hehehe.... But really thank you.. Like it alot..sui sui sui!
Altogther 11 adults and 3 kids.. We had it at Merchant Court...Well, I think this is the 3rd time or the 4th time there, I must say I get more & more dissappointed each time. With the 15% discount from HSBC, it's about $38 per pax.
Well, the food is so-so, the variety also so-so, they did not replenish timely. Well.. Overall perhaps 6/10 (I'm being quite nice). I hope this is the last time I'm gg there for buffet.Not recommended.
But it's not about the food.. it's the accompany I had on tat day, it's fun, though I hardly know them all.

My Lovely Santa ....



LOvely gifts...

Such a busy day for us.. After sending Rayden for his Berries class, we hurried to Daiso & get the decorations for tonite.
Then to MIL's place, for Rayden's lunch & picked her & 2nd BIL up to proceed to our home.

At 430pm, me, hubby & FIL went to the function room to do the deco... phew! we finished the deco around 6pm.. Just in time! Went home to pick our baby prince & rest to the function room, then hubby proceeded to pick up the cake with 2nd BIL...

























It was drizzling tat evening, luckily no thunderstorms, but due to the bad weathers these days, a lot of our guests could not attend due to unwellness... Same for us actually, we are all not feeling 100% well.. But am so GLAD, that things went well as planned, except we got tonnes of leftovers food...
Thank you again for all our guests, and for your well wishes & generous gifts! :)

Summary for spendings:
Event place + buffet so 30 pax : $750+
Deco : $150
Cake from Pine Garden: $133
Grand total: ~$1k

Rayden's Playgroup Graudation (13 Nov 2009)

This is one of the most anticipated events.. hee..
Rayden's performance... This round, it is held on a Friday evening.
Teacher Lynn & Chua put up lotsa efforts once again, I am very pleased with their performance, but i thought last year's was cuter.. hee...

As usual, Rayden scored well on his report card, comments given by Teacher Lynn.
Rayden is well-liked by his peers. He is very caring & helpful towards all. He is always eager to participate in his classroom activities and does his work well. Good Job!

It's quite a good nite... but these weeks, all of us including Rayden had slight fever & flu... we are all quite tired after the long nite..

Original plan was to celebrate Rayden's bday on Friday, but due to his graudation ceremony on Friday, unable to do so, likewise on the Thurs, coz they are having rehearsal.
