It's gonna be a busy March...

March is looking pretty busy.. So many programs I'm so afraid I might just miss something out..

6th March - March'08 babies birthday bash
9th March - Bro's birthday
12th March - Cousin & Dennis coming back for 2 weeks vacation
13th March - Alvis' 3rd birthday party
18th March - Alvis' actual birthday, we're going to the Disney on Ice show!
26th March - Seeing the cousin off..

Just the first 3 weeks already enough to keep me very busy. With Alvis baby's birthday party still in the midst of preparation, I can't help but feel I'm racing against time.. Anyhow, I'm confident everything will turn out smoothly and we're so gonna enjoy March big time.

March started off very "comfortably" for us.. (or rather me :P) because of my first pair of Fitflop!!

Photobucket

Trust me these are good stuff!

Photobucket

Love the blings on my feet.

Yes, they may not be as "trendy" and young looking as compared to Birkenstock, but they are more comfortable than Birks. I'm wearing these wherever I go, especially to places that require me lotsa walking. I feel like I'm walking on cushion, I hope it'll really work my butt and legs muscle so I feel less ache on my back.

We celebrated Mum's 50th birthday on 1st March. She was surprised, happy and I'm sure, touched as well. We arranged for a small bouquet to be delivered to her workplace and had everyone waiting for her at home with a cake.

Photobucket

Alvis knew it was 外婆's birthday but was more excited than he was at his 2nd birthday party. Haha!

Photobucket

He can't wait for the candles to be lit, can't wait for the birthday song to be sang, and can't wait to cut the cake.

Patience boy!

Photobucket

Photobucket

The bouquet was indeed small but exquisite. I love the pearls the florist string around it (can't see the details in any of the pictures)

Photobucket

Photobucket

Alvis was beaming throughout the 2 birthday songs we sang! I hope he will do the same on his own birthday and won't be too shy.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

and of course, he cut the cake faster than my mum could manage. lol

Photobucket

Very nice Chinese characters they written on the card for us..

Photobucket

Photobucket

"Stop looking at me or I'll EAT you!"

Photobucket

Happy 50th Birthday once again to my mum. May she stay healthy, pretty and happy always!

****

Wanted to walk the Henderson Waves on Thursday but the weather didn't allow. We had no choice but to go and seek shelter at Vivocity while Alvis napped. We also checked out the Sentosa Boardwalk - the latest link that connects you from Vivo to Sentosa on your feet!

Photobucket

Me loves Starbucks

Photobucket

Me loves him. :)

Photobucket

Black & White

Photobucket

Photobucket

Pardon him, he doesn't like to take "proper" photos. hehe

Photobucket

Me in that size 8 and still damn big top.

Photobucket

Kinda disappointed, will not be wearing it for the time being. :(

I thought my angle was good in this following picture:

Photobucket

Managed to capture 3 of us in a photo. haha! With little A napping in the stroller and hubby looking at him. :P

<3<3<3

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Nothing much, just a normal walkway. haha. But there's travelator, good for lazy and tired feets.

Gonna have a wonderful weekend with my two darlings! You guys too! & don't forget to make time for love. :D

FABruary

Our February ended on a happy note, it has been a good month!

Post-USS Fever!

Photobucket

We bought identical tees (me & Alvis) and he requested to wear them the next day after our USS outing..

2 more tees for Alvis..

Photobucket

and he chose this flipflops on his own.. His first flipflops actually..

Photobucket

He loves the jets!

Heading out to join the daddy in town on the 27th of Feb..

Photobucket

On train, obsessed with his cars, as usual..

Photobucket

Love taking NEL, so convenient, so fast and most of the times not so crowded..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Cheeky boy

Photobucket

Soup Restaurant for dinner... We dine at Soup Restaurant about 80% of the time we dine out, but it was the first time that day that we tried this dish:

Photobucket

No joke, it was fantastic. Meat was soft and melts away in your mouth with every bite and I love 馒头, especially fried ones.

Didn't get to take any pictures when we were out, so took a few pictures of me and Alvis baby in our matching tops before we changed out. <3

Photobucket

Photobucket

& the next day, he wore his flipflops around in the house..

Photobucket

He wasn't angry by the way. He was playing around and making funny faces. Silly boy. :)

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Cute. And he knows they are for going to the beach.

It has been a good stay-home-month.. We enjoyed every off day out with the daddy.. Love spending quality family time together..

What about you? How was your February? How's your 2011 thus far? :)

Universal Studios Singapore 26th Feb 2011

Are you ready???!!!! Here's my spread of our day at Universal Studios on 26th February 2011.

I was busy doing my makeup in the car and before I knew it, we were already reaching. I quickly dug out my camera and took a picture of us approaching..

Photobucket

2 seconds late, I would have missed it already. hehe..

Parked the car and.... THERE!!!

Photobucket

our entrance to a far far away universe...

Photobucket

The "everyone-also-need-to-take-a-picture-with" globe.. This time round, we didn't take a photo with it.. :P

Little Alvis checked every spot..

Photobucket

All clear..

Photobucket

Photobucket

gave himself a pinch to make sure he's not dreaming. hahaha

Photobucket

ok, let's GO!

Photobucket

Alvis with his dear ahyi and Adam..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

1st stop: Welcome to Madagascar!

Photobucket

having his $4.20 BIG cookie

Photobucket

King Julien’s Beach Party-Go-Round

Photobucket

Not very willing to ride..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Timid boy.. Music too loud and he thought the carousel was gonna be something scary. -.-

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Had to force him onto it.

Photobucket

Super not pleased. Haha

Photobucket

But when the carousel started moving, he was fine.. This little boy sometimes is just too timid and afraid to try new things. Had to always force him to have a go on it then only he will know he likes it.. Anyhow, it was just a pretty straight-forward carousel, nothing fantastic, won't spend time re-queuing. Hehe..

After we were done with the carousel, it was the Madagascar characters photo-taking session. We had another group photo with the penguins. I don't watch the movie, so I have no idea what their names are. I only know the lion, the giraffe, and the

penguins. :P

Photobucket

2nd stop: Far Far Away

It was Shrek's home first..

Photobucket

I can't help but always feel that Adam's action looks more like holding a pile of sh*t above his head..

haha! no?

It looks like the shape of a dump to me.. :P

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

This is a nice one taken by hubby:

Photobucket

Ahhhhhh... Fairy-tale!!

Photobucket

Me & my king

Photobucket

(used to be my prince charming, now still am my prince charming, but cuz we now have a little prince, so he has been promoted to King) :P

Don't we girls love to dream of living in a castle?

Photobucket

We headed for the Donkey Live Show as we were all so warm, a little bit of aircon would be like heaven.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Donkey Live show was alright, pretty entertaining and engaging.. I was expecting a donkey mascot though. haha

We had lunch at the Discovery Foodcourt

Photobucket

Just outside the foodcourt..

Photobucket

Love white fluffy clouds..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Reading the map on where to go next after lunch..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Ok, I got it..

Photobucket

Let me put it away..

Photobucket

Typical foodcourt food, the usual chicken rice, noodles, ayam penyet.. Got a kid's meal for Alvis and had a cute woodpecker lunchbox free..

3rd stop: The Lost World

Photobucket

Hubby, sis & Adam went to queue for the Canopy Flyer while I tend to Alvis.. Not wanting to stand there and wait and waste time, I brought him to the Dino-Soarin' ride!

Photobucket

While we were queuing, grabbed Alvis for a photo single-handedly..

Photobucket

It was tough, managing his weight, the camera and the wind. haha!

& I managed to take a picture for them before they went on their ride. :P

Photobucket

It was the first time Alvis went on a proper ride, hubby took tons of photos of us on the dinosaur. hehe

Photobucket

Photobucket

just uploading two here. :P

He did well for this ride, better than the carousel. He enjoyed it alot but we had to proceed on to the next stop before he had his nap.

Went back to check the waiting time for Shrek 4D show and it was not very long so off we went to catch it just before his nap.

Photobucket

Entering the castle for Shrek 4D!

<3

Photobucket

This was more interesting than the Donkey Live show actually. hehe.. we "felt" spiders dropping on our legs and water squirting at our faces!!

4th stop: Ancient Egypt

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

WOoT~ macho knight!

Photobucket

Sis & bf went for "Revenge of the Mummy" first, had to take turns looking after sleeping Alvis..

Took photo with these two TALL men..

Photobucket

Poor thing they had to stand on stilts. haha

and when it was our turn to go for the Mummy ride, I was so afraid cuz my sis told me it was good. GOOD means must be damn thrilling.. When hubby & I was queuing for the ride, I was so nervous, I didn't know what to anticipate. But anyhow, the ride WAS GREAT! hehe.. I screamed a little, felt my butt lifted the seat and my heart nearly came out, but it was a great ride. :D

Went to join them at The Goldilocks Cafe having their Ben&Jerry icecream while waiting for us..

Photobucket

They went to queue for the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure while we went on to the next stop. :)

5th stop: Hollywood

We were just in time for the rock-n-roll musical at Pantages Hollywood Theater, lucky us!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

It was an awesome show! The performers could all sing and dance very well! Very entertaining and fantastic music and visuals. Looking at how well the "stars" danced, I couldn't help but wished I could go back and learn dancing again. :P

Anyhow, we waited for Sis & Adam to join us after their rides. Alvis baby had fun posing with the vintage cars along the streets of Hollywood.
