Didi at 7.5 months
I've been guilty of not keeping track of didi's milestone achievements the way I did for Jilliane. but somehow because I'm not counting every second of what he's doing, he seems or rather he IS achieving them ALOT faster than Jilliane! I'm really glad for this as this means that he's pretty much on track with the other babies of his age.
He attempted crawling at 6 months, backwards.
He's doing little push ups on the floor perpetually. Preparing for army or what, i dunno.
And he's wheeling himself all over the house and the little mirror at our entrance is now his favourite destination. He ends there and stares at the mirror for sometime.
I really wonder what's going on in his little mind as he does that, is he thinking, who's that little baby over at the other end? Is that really me? Sometimes when I carry him and stand in front of that same mirror, he looks at our reflection and then he looks at the real me then he looks back again with a perplexed look on his face. I figure he's just confused! LOL! Babies & innocence, they're just so lovely!

Old Yellow Wiggle - Greg Page
Old Yellow Wiggle, Greg Page's back!
And he's coming to Singapore! I'm a HUGGGEEE fan of him!! There's something about Greg Page, his chiseled, oh so man looks.. (Jilliane prefers the purple wiggle as she's amused by his constant sleeping)
BUT, abit of sanity is still in me, I don't think I'm going to pay $270 ($90x3 as it's gotta be a family outing) just to see him in person.

Tim vs Joey
Jilliane's crazy about Tim .. Tim Maddren of Hi5.
Recently we've been watching Friends alot as well. Why? Because she thinks Joey's incredibly handsome.
And when I look at the both of them, I realised the similarities between their features :)

3 days of Disney Magic
We had a blast!
Day 1
We got on the plane (as per Jill: ca-thay pa-fi-sic, we are still trying to correct her on this) and 3hrs 50 mins later, we arrived in Hong Kong. Took the transport to Disney Hotel, dumped our luggage, freshened up and rushed down to Disneyland, just in time to take photos with the various characters, played Dumbo & Winnie the Pooh, dinner & then fireworks! It was a hectic day & we crashed into bed at about 11pm.
Day 2
Slept in a little today as the Park only opens at 10am. Took our time with our buns in the room, then wandered round the hotel a while. It was windy & chilly. But it was good. For people living in hot Singapore, we welcome a little cold with a long sleeve shirt and a sweater. Perfect weather! No queuing in sweltering heat made the day alot more pleasant. The queues were manageable and most rides we got away with at most 10 mins of queueing. The worst ones was probably at Autopia and Slinky Dog where we waited for about 30 mins but that's still considered okay by my standards.
Jilliane had a field day with the rides and a bonus to her was when the gorgeous prince kissed her hand. Oh yes, he was so handsome that even mom and I swooned. Needless to say Cinderella quickly became Jilliane's favourite princess.
Staying in Disney Hotel was simply a fab idea! It didn't come cheap, but at least it allowed me to have a Disney experience for the 1st time in my life, complete with Disney bedtime stories and Disney breakfast.
Day 3
And so for Princess Make over, she naturally chose Cinderella. She was damn damn excited about the whole make over process, the make up, the nail painting, the dress, the tiara and all! This is like every little girl's dream come true!
It has been 3 weeks and Jilliane has the memories still firmly etched in her mind. Everyday it's always, "mummy, i want to go disneyland again. I want to sit the small boat and see the baby dolls. I want to sit dumbo. I want to go round and round in the teacup. I want to sit in the dog and chase the tail. I want.. blah blah blah." It just goes on & on. Oh, but she hates the Light Buzz Year ride. Says she's scared of the monsters!
And yes, I tell her we will definitely visit Disneyland again soon, when didi is old enough to join us. Or if she's lucky enough, I may just decide that both mother and daughter will tag along when Dw is in Tokyo for his worktrip and we will head out to Disneysea & Sanrioland! Yipee! Can't wait!

movie tonight!
The last time Dw & I caught a movie (just the 2 of us) was way back in 2010.. Eat, Pray, Love.. Then it was a little treat from Seiki Travel.
Today, we're catching another movie (just the 2 of us). Man on a ledge. This time, courtesy of my mommy, who got this treat from another party.
Looking forward to our romantic night out!

My 2 sweeties
Jill's very loving to didi now, though at times she will complain "Didi kicked my hand!", "Didi touched my dress" and I will always try to explain that it's okay because Didi is still young and doesn't understand and cannot control his actions and seek her understanding. And she will say "ok, I understand". But before I can cheer on this, it will be followed by "I want mummy to scold Didi now"... ??!!

awaiting my trip
am so looking forward to my short trip to HK with mum & daughter. just 3 of us girls.
not because there're no boys on the trip, but because i've not had a vacation since my last cruise in May. And also because much has happened recently that left me pretty frustrated. it'll be good to get away from it all, get away from the people who cause these frustrations, get away from the situations that ARE STILL causing these frustrations.
of course it's not a permanent solution. it's transient happiness. but at least i'm escaping the harsh realities for a while.
and of course, needless to say, i'll miss the boys: dw, jd v2 & dad. take care boys, there will be gifts for all 3, take your pick from mickey, donald or goofy :)
