 Emeryn & Baby Will

Last Tues Emeryn refused to go home with Ah Ma when she was there to pick her up as she hasn't finished cooking her tang yuan in view of the winter solstice celebration. She brought home some for mummy. The next day was the X'mas party at her daycare. They had huge selection of food and the party basically runs the whole day and ended with a goodie bag and a gift from the centre. Emeryn received a Sofia the First food container and she was absolutely happy with her gift. 

It was a public holiday on Thur in conjunction with Prophet Muhammad's Birthday and we headed to Por Por's house at about 11am to help Theng Ee Ee to babysit baby Will. We stayed there until 7.30pm and had a simple dinner before leaving home. The next morning was X'mas day and Beena Kor Kor came over in the morning as she wanted to borrow some winter clothing for herself and Jazlynn. After she left, we got ready and headed to QBM for their yearly X'mas musical performance. The performance for this year isn't that great compares to the previous years. The musical ended with artificial snow falling from the top floor. We roamed around the mall and captured some photo with X'mas decoration before catching our late lunch at Winter Warmers. It was Emeryn's suggestion on our lunch venue. We shopped a bit before going home.

On Sat morning, the FV management staff came over to rectify our defect on Emeryn's room. Luckily it only took him awhile to settle it before we went for the X'mas gathering luncheon. On our way to Ahmo, we dropped by at the library for Emeryn to return her books. We were the first to arrive for lunch. Before our meals are being served, we did the gift exchange. It has been a tradition for mummy's gang to do so on yearly basis. Other than mummy, Emeryn also received gifts from mummy's friends. Each of them got Emeryn a small gift. In return, mummy also prepared a potpurri gift set on behalf of Emeryn to distribute to every of mummy's friends. After the luncheon we went for Emeryn's half yearly eye check. Emeryn was merely disappointed as she still does not need a spectacles for now. She busied herself with choosing the frame as soon as we stepped into the shop, assuming she would need one. We hopped over to Tan Mark and grabbed some discounted work books. We then dropped by at the most "amazing" X'mas decoration opposite Gurney Paragon. It was a private residential area with decorated heavily like Disneyland. We snapped some photo there before heading to Por Por's house.

We had our lunch at Jalan Tengah on Sun noon before going to Udini Square for the Poney sales. Mummy bought 2 pairs of pants for Emeryn and the total amount entitles her for 2 free photo shoot on the spot. We were unprepared for the shoot but nevertheless Emeryn is always ready for camera, anytime, anywhere. After the photo shoot, we walked across to Tesco for a quick grocery shopping before driving to Por Por's place. After having her meal, Emeryn followed Ah Kong to Karpal Singh Drive where Ah Kong jogs and she plays on her skooter.

On Mon during lunch, mummy purposely drove to Jusco just to get a set of color pencil for Emeryn but unfortunately Emeryn took mummy for granted. She made mummy feels unappreciated for. Sigh… Kids nowadays don’t know how to appreciate the value of a gift. Got Emeryn a surprise color pencil for her as she has been asking for one lately. I thought she would be really happy seeing it but she showed me “long black face”, saying she wants a watercolor pencil and not a color pencil. She added that I did not choose properly because there were scratches on the box.  Mummy got extremely upset with her reaction and decided to start a silent war with her. Instead of lash it out on Emeryn, mummy choose to keep her cool and avoid talking to Emeryn. Mummy punished Emeryn by not buying her dinner and she has resorted to eating biscuit for her dinner. That whole night mummy & Emeryn did not communicate at all.

The next day Emeryn apologized and slowly we both got back into conversation. Theng Ee Ee was admitted to LWE for having her waterbag broke and we’re expecting a new addition to the family soon. She finally delivered a healthy baby boy at 1am, Fri. Emeryn can’t wait to visit the baby and mummy brought her to LWE on Fri during lunch. Emeryn accompanied Theng Ee Ee in the hospital for the whole afternoon until mummy got off from work at 6pm. Mummy, Por Por and Ah Kong visited Ee Ee and her baby in the evening. After the hospital visit, we had dinner together before going home.

On Sat, mummy cooked winter melon soup using the magic cooker for the first time. We had our simple lunch at home before going for the soft opening of sPice Aquatic Centre. Aunty Jenny, Aunty Grace and their kids joined us at the aquatic centre too. The kids had the water play for about 2 hours and had some light refreshment before calling it a day. After the water play session, we headed to Por Por’s house to visit Theng Ee Ee and her baby.  Por Por cooked a simple dinner for us before we headed home.

On Sun, mummy cooked porridge for lunch before attending a gathering at St Presso. Mummy fetched Aunty Sandee on our way to coffee. She hasn’t been meeting her Secondary School friend for at least 16years. Aunty Kelly & Aunty Jane joined us for coffee too and all of us had a long chat and catching up. After the coffee, we went to Por Por’s place for our usual Sun visit and had our dinner there. Emeryn glued herself to Baby Will all the times and she got really excited waiting for Baby Will’s feeding time as she wanted to play with him. Back home in the evening, mummy baked some van houten chocolate muffin for our breakfast on the next day.
