We are in finals!

After the contest, all of us felt good...and almost quite sure we were get into finals...but it was a long wait for the call...hehe..

At 7.25pm finally my mobile rang...sianz...It was my boss, asking me to take note of things throughout weekend....Then 5mins later the phone rang again!...Now it's the contest staff call me...


I got really happy! Jumping around..calling daddy and my sis to inform them the good news..

Then after we busy letting Kaylen try her final contest dress...hehee...

The Baby Idol contest..Semifinal

Daddy has to work, so we took a cab to expo..It was so messy day, I went to pick up Jared from school and he got dissapointed when he see it's no waipo, so keep crying..I had to force carry him home. hehe...then refuse to take lunch, and insist of take milk only..

That's when I realised it's already 11.30am, Kaylen's hair still all standing up..messy messy, quickly wet them again and comb properly..But we still arrived early around 12.15pm ...The contest is at 1.30pm, gathering behind the stage at 1pm.

Jared when saw so many rides of cos run around...aiyo...


Taken with the stage wearing our best CNY clothes...hehehe...Kaylen's dress was from Australia's cousin Kiau...should be her nicest dress liao...


Jared finally willing to take lunch

Train ride and insisting on sitting on the train head..

At the backstage..

Kaylen is still so cute ah, even her hanky hide her face a little. As for Jared it's so hard to take proper pics of him nowadays..keep giving faces..

Kaylen didn't have enough sleep, almost when contest starts, she couldn't even hold herself straight keep leaning on me...make me so worried..Then mum suggested i hold her facing front, let her head rest on me..

Then when we were queing behind stage waiting for our turn to go up on stage, she started crying a little..wah...more kam cheong now...hehe..

Luckily when up on stage she's fine..there's even ppl cheering for her..

On stage, being asked to do self Intro...

After the contest, she all energised..not feeling tired liao..

Smile happilly even...

Chubby Enuff???

Daddy thk she won't be able to proceed to finals! Cos she is not chubby at all! But I thk she is looking much prettier these days, with the little cheek tat's not the chubbiest...yet just nice size..and with her hair longer.. hehehe...




Taken with and without flash..
With natural light, Kaylen look much better cos fairer..hehe...with flash, cannot make it..but without flash diff to take pics tat's clear though...out of 20 pics taken probaly only 1 or 2 is clear..

The weekend Ritz Calton Hotel stay...

Phew~~..lucky the stay wasn't too bad..But it was not an easy one with a baby tagging along...So much packing, so much crying, so much luggage...till daddy and me were quarreling ..and angry with ourselves to get the hotel stay..So much hassle for just 1 day stay..

Everything changes the moment we step into the room, ...The view just soooo impressive...the room is so big and nice! The bath tub and its view..and can only say..Wowow...

We took the double room with 2 super single bed, each sleep with each kid...

Nice sofa with view of Nicoll Highway...and slight view of Singapore flyer

Jared in room feeling hungry..and had to eat poky..before wait for my mum to send dinner..while daddy and me indulge at Greenhouse..hehe...

Swimming at the hotel pool...Kaylen's first dip!..She didn't like it, keep crying as she was already sleepy..so we take turn to carry her sleeping..Jared had so much fun swimming though!

Jared dip in the bath tub while Kaylen used their sink to bath..It's even big enuff to fit Kaylen!

Before check out..still love the views..

She's in!

I'm soooo nervous now!!

She's in the semifinal of chubbiest cheek baby contest by mediacorp!

Oh yes!!!!.

Hehehe...

The story goes like this, I saw the contest form from i weekly magazine for continous few weeks..Was keep fan-ing that Kaylen don't have a studio pic to submit...and finally I still show my mum the contest form...on the day I took AM leave to bring Jared to his new school for enrollment...

But when we were back from school, I got so tired and need to rush back to work...I told my mum i lazy to submit when she reminded me again..Told her to forget about it.
When I'm back from work, mum told me my sis had help to send. (My sis is absolutely supportive for all kind of lucky draw ever since she won a pair of brilliant rose wedding band worth 5k from mag contest!, That's explain why she is so on to help..hehe)

After submission..deep in my heart ..I was still hoping Kaylen have chance..hehe..

And finally while I was in meeting...I RECEIVED that call!!!...

*Now I'm fan-ing what can I wear to go to the contest!..Note: not Kaylen it's ME!!..So fat, pai seh lerrrrr...*

p/s I wouldn't thought of any contest for the kids ever since Jared's healthy baby contest at Whampoa CC...It was such bad experience, cos it's so hot, so many ppl and wait too long...and finally he fell asleep before seeing judges..It's enough of embarassment....

But this round during CNY, Irene's hb Chris asked me when I'm gonna bring her for contest..said she is sooo cute, so pretty..That's how the encouragement comes..Hah!

The Contest: 27 Feb 1.30-2.30pm..Singapore Expo

I found these infor from google ..It mentioned only first 3 prize, hopefully they will give at least 1 tin of similac to semi finalist who made it that day! hehe

p/s This is the pic I used to enter the contest

Another Milestone met- Flipping @ 5 mth 9 days 15 Feb09

Taken on 16 Feb, 2nd day of flipping..she look like a ball turning around yeah! heh

Happy Birthday to Waigong!

We celebrated my dad's birthday earlier this year on V-day at Paramount restaurant @ Paramount hotel..


Kaylen's first time sitting on high chair..

Family pic..

Kaylen is 5mth old!

- She LOVEs me..!!!
Hehe, especially night time, she would cry and cry just for me to carry..Just before CNY, when gong gong and mah mah came over our place, we left her at home while we brought Jared to have breakfast at Sun Plaza. They had to call us to come back immediately cos Kaylen cried non stop..Once I took over her she would be good..hehe..But the "love" is getting lesser and lesser everyday with me coming back late from work..

-Still Breastfeeding..and another 7month to go!
She still drinking ~3oz to 3.5oz 3hourly, very little, and I thk she has stop keep on growing fat..she probaly maintained the same weight as last mth...

-Physical achievement
Not very good, still have no intention to flip yet...but can turn side way when angry..hehe...Can hold bottle when really hungry.. Put everything she grabs, into the mouth (Jared wasn't like tat)

-Relationship with korkor
As far as Jared still loves to bully her, yet her love for korkor never reduce....She enjoyed looking at korkor and will calm down when see korkor.

-Her hair
No sign of dropping

-Sleeping
Still sleep through, and becoming easier to handle at night...at most 11pm she would knock off...She could stay awake from 3pm to 11pm..steady loh..Jared last time awake 1hr sleep next hour...don't have much energy

Their first CNY comparison...

Can you see the diff btw the yin2 liu3?

also we use the wrong chair for kaylen

Happy CNY 2009- 4th day, Hung's farewell

Kee Hung-daddy's bro..came back from Australia..this year he helped out a lot in the kitchen...most dishes were contributed by him,..and all the washing hehehe..

Kaylen dressed in t-shirt and jeans...It's 6-12month clothes from FOX, and she not even 5 mth already can wear with tight fitting..*mummy headache* Jared 6-12mth clothes from FOX can wear til 2 yr old..

Happy CNY 2009!

Every year if CNY celebrates with Daddy's family, we would wake up to have mee suah with egg..Then bath, and change to new clothes..and followed by a series of effort trying to take as many nice pics at home as possible hehe..



Even without the kids, taking pics on 1st day of CNY is their culture..

This year as Jared grown bigger it's so hard to take pic with him...He wanted to be the one take pic for us instead...to be the one press the camera button when we set up tripod..and want to run like us after press timer...

He has even grown smarter to estimate when the camera is gonna take the pic, then at the last second he would turn away!!..

As for Kaylen, she's like the gem of the family, each day change so many outfit..and everyone come and complement how cute she is..hehe..

The most strange thing is in a pic, if Kaylen is ready..Jared sure not ready...it's hard to take the pic of both them ready and nice..


This year, Jared and daddy wear the same red Polo ralph polo...The clothes were bought Sept06...2yr+ ago when daddy go US..finally the could wear the same thing on CNY!..But just before wearing we realised it's different red! hehe..

See jared so nice in the pic, but Kaylen was crying...

2nd day of CNY..jared fall sick, had stomach pain and fever..so he wasn't in mood to do anything..
Kaylen's ah mah, tie her hair up so nicely and so neat..hehe

Happy CNY 2009- Reunion Lunch

We had the reunion lunch at Sembawang around 3pm...This year we contributed 3 dish...but only 1 dish everyone like..that's the curry made from premix :( Jingdu pork rib, over cook so the meat is quite tough, though the sauce is nice..for this dish I research so long yet turn out failure..kek sim

Kaylen Today with Hair clip

4mth 2 wk, look so chubby..she's only6.8kg when do check up at 4 month..and drink only 3oz of milk 3 hourly..But she is already doing better than Jared who drank only 2oz all the way till 6-7mth

My new hair cut for the new year

I couldn't even remember when was the last time I cut short my hair, probaly more than 10 years ago..This is not very short, but short enough for daddy ...hehe..

When ppl get old..always hoping at least hair will help to keep me younger hehe...

Hope tomorrow after wash still look as good..
