Finally, made another attempt to bring Rayden to the beach..
He love playg with sand castle, the last time was i think 1yr+ ago, when we brought him to Sentosa during his 2nd birthday *guilty*..
Well, my impression of Sembawang didnt change a bit! It's still as dirty & smelly.. I regretted the moment i saw the beach...Yucks..
But since we are already there... just do it!
Rayden, most of the time "self-entertained" himself.I will go play w him a while, then head back to clean myself.. While Daddy even worse, taking his camera as an excuse, he managed to keep himself out of water & sand...
But haa not too bad, a bunch of foreign workers gathered and played with Rayden shortly.. haaa ...He made 6 frens.. haa
Afterwhich, we head to Swensen for our Sunday Brunch..
Tat's our lazy Sunday..

The flight is 1140pm@ Terminal 1 with JAL, but we are "forced" to check-in by 930pm.. Haa..Coz Dynasty want us to visit their premium lounge at T2.. Haa...
Nice place indeed, quite a good spread of light snacks there.

This is the first time I get so close to the penguins.. hee... Rayden enjoyed too, and he was constantly playing with the snow while we were waiting for the march.
Eventually, he complained of coldness when the snow wet his shoes/gloves, the Ski gloves I bought for him, were a little too big, but it's already the smallest pair.
We stayed in zoo for around 2hrs, i think this is the shortest duration of zoo visiting. Haa...

As it's now Winter, we only get to see some Lavender in the greenhouse, and able to smell them..Hmm...soothing..

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 ...

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..

Rayden's birthday at Skool (11 Nov 2009)
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. Hence Teacher Lynn suggested Wednesday. Good and fine, the intention of this is to juz let the kid and his frens have some fun. I think Rayden will and did enjoyed this mini celebrations with his classmates. Both me and hubby took half day AM off from work. Got a simple cake, this is chosen by Rayden, wat else but cars again.. hee.. Then "armed" with 16 goodie bags & camera, off we go to the skool. :) Did a birthday song singing, cake cutting, gift bags distributing, tat ends our simple celebration at the skool... oh..and ya photo takings :) All done within half an hour.
