Smiley Faces

Elliot pasted those smiley face stickers on his forehead himself ... Silly boy... hahaha.... I can't help by asking him to give the Victory/Peach signs... It took him quite a while to master the control of these 4 fingers!

Starting young...

Daddy and Mommy are both avid gamers... Daddy shoots enemies. Mommy build and manage City and Restaurants. Elliot's favourite gaming sites are Baby TV and Nick Junior. See, we each have our own gaming machines!

Ahoy there!

My mom goes frequently on gambling cruises on board the Superstar Virgo and collect points that entitle her to free nights stay sometimes.  After many many invitations, Darren finally, and to my surprise, accepted her Chinese New Year invite on a 3D2N cruise to no where.  It wasn't much fun for him as he isn't much a Casino fan.  Oh well, Elliot needs a babysitter anyway.... Elliot enjoyed his running up and down the isles, going up and down the lifts, driving the "cars" in the game arcade and just simply that he's on board a big ship!

Being tourists for a day

Chinese New Year is usually a period of up to 4 days for visiting relatives and friends. But for myself, since stepping out of teenage, such "customary" visitings have been reduced to only on the first day! For Elliot, this meant lesser angbaos. To make up for this, we have decided to bring Elliot out, visiting local places of attraction. We intended to visit the Central Fire Station but to our disappointment, I didn't get the facts right before heading down to Hill Street. They are only open to public on Saturday mornings. Luckily, the Heritage Gallery was opened.   (Singapore Civil Defence Force - CD Heritage Gallery)

After going around the Gallery and up to the second storey twice, we left and headed for Cable Car Station for that long over due cable car ride.  Better take advantage of that "Free of Charge for Children under 3" before Elliot turns 3 in July...

Falling Sick

Elliot has been falling sick since as young as 4 months old.  Always starting with runny nose followed by coughing and wheezing.  At 6 months old, his usual ailment became so bad that it led to Bronchitis.  And that was really the start of very bad coughing and wheezing.  His visits to the clinics were fortnightly and visiting the hospital in the night every 3 to 4 months due to his wheezing.  Somehow, I felt that it's all my fault because I put him in full day childcare at such as tender age.   

A doctor specialising in children's respiratory illness has termed the sickly boy as "Bronchiatic".   Hopefully, he'll fall sick lesser as he grows older and his immune systems get stronger.

We had wanted to invite friends and relatives to our new place at Park Villas for Elliot's birthday cum house-warming party. Unfortunately, we had a neighbour from hell and parking would had caused world war tiga... Hence, after many many sleepless nights, we thought best to just have immediate family over to celebrate Elliot's 2nd birthday.
