Celebration in CC

This is Val's celebration in the childcare. Had it on her actual birthday. The cupcakes are just pretty! Anne was the cutest by telling the teachers "Valerie's mommy make cake!" Hahaha.. kids are so cute at times.

Valerie is 3!

Today is Valerie's lunar birthday (4YO in chinese terms). I ordered the Pretty in Pink from roomfordessert for her 2 weeks back. Went around trying some cakes (tried obolo) but eventually decided on roomfordessert (this is 3 in a row!) since HB liked their choc-banana cake. I didn't order the choc-banana this time round coz I thot better to try out their flavours rather than stick to one.

I didn't eat the cake on the actual day coz I had been down with viral flu for more than a week and just started on antibiotics. Was really feeling quite terrible but thankfully managed to enjoy the dinner without much hiccups.

Wow.. Valerie is now three... how time flies!

HB's Wishlist

Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic (44mm)

This the the watch my HB is eyeing on. Haven't seen the real thing yet as there were none available at the Cortina Boutique we visited yesterday (what's new right?).

The damage? S$8,450.

It's a classy watch, sporty, wearable and professional all at one. This is the stainless steel model and it's quite widely sort after watch now.

Update! I bought it for DH! :)

New Target!

LOEWE Nappa Aire.. my newest target! Just called the boutique, it costs S$1,890 for the small one & $2,090 for the medium size one *gulp!* This is definitely more than the S$1K I've previously set aside for the Mini Lin Speedy...

But look at it.. so classy! The more I look at it.. the more I like it! I like both colours but I think I'll have to make a trip to the boutique to see the real macoy as well as carry it to see if it's the right match for me!

Thumb sucker?

What do you think? Is he sucking his thumb? :p

C... is for Cookie!

It's Valerie's first try at baking cookies. After seeing the pictures from Tigger's blog, I was very keen to bring Valerie to try out the Kids Can Bake! classes at Genius R Us, so I decided to join her for this cookie baking class.

When we reached the premise, Valerie was shy and didn't want to go in. She didn't want to wear the apron either! Thankfully we reached there early so there is time for her to slowly warm up to the environment.

When the class started, she was very excited, and try to do all the steps herself too. Of course most of the kneading & rolling was done by me but she has all the say as to which cookie cutter & toppings she wanted :-)

After the cookies were done, she hesitated a little when I offer her one. After one bite, she ran away with the cookie and asked for more! BTW, the cookies did taste quite nice!

Next lesson I'll be bringing her to make pizza! Hopefully aunty Violet will give me some discount if I sign up another 2 lessons coz S$60/lesson aint cheap!

Valerie's new friend/toy

This picture was taken this morning. She saw this doll on Sunday and basically 'stole' it away from me and kept saying "Look! It's a doll! So cute! So cute!" Obviously she loved it. But we were reluctant to remove it from the box that night coz we are not sure if she really really liked it. So we hid it before she sleeps (or else she'll just continue to chant..) and waited till next morning.

Monday morning when she woke up, she seemed as enthusiastic over the doll so I decided to give it to her. Since then, she has been hugging it around quite frequently. I name her dolly coz if u ask Valerie, she'll just say she's a doll :p

Valerie will kiss her every morning too, just like she'll greet or kiss us good morning. She'll hug it to sleep or hug it as she watches TV. She's such a girl & I enjoy every moment seeing her this way. :-)
