Where's Evelyn?

Can you spot her?

Christmas Tree Bully

Daddy was chatting with me about what you did:
Daddy: That naughty girl, she purposely knock into the Christmas tree with her ride on. Despite my warning to her not to do it.
Mummy: Then what happened?
Daddy: I smacked her on her thigh
Evelyn: Da-da kiss

When I looked at daddy, he laughed and admitted that he did kiss you because he felt guilty for hitting a little too hard. Not sure if was planning on admitting to kissing you but you let the cat out of the bag for him.

And of course, after that you continued to knock into the tree. Last Sunday one of the bulbs on the fairy lights even broke when you crashed into the tree. 

But seems like you are better behaved after that.

Updated (17 Dec): my mistake. You "crashed" into the tree twice last night!!

A Belated Birthday Dinner

We decided onVia Pre which we haven't gone in a while. It was a good thing I made reservations. It was packed but I reckon we were given a nice table away from the crowd.
We had a great selection of food from the lobster pasta to share to the main courses we individually ordered to the wine daddy ordered for the night. You both had a good time with Evelyn behaving very well in her high chair and when she eventually got off the chair, she just played around out table and the long bench next to our table.

We then went home to complete the meal with the wonderful sliced cakes we had bought in the afternoon. Even Evelyn had a share of the chocolate cake which she obviously enjoyed:

Happy Birthday, Daddy

Here are the both of you helping daddy blow the candle off the "Ice-cream Cake" created by Ko-ko. 

Happy birthday to the world's greatest daddy.

Evan's Phone

Hey.. looks like you've got your own phone now *grin*

Evan's Model

A favourite thing for you to do is to take pictures of your creations.  So after building this car ramp from Evelyn's many Barney DVDs you decided to take a picture.
Like the car display at the malls, you also have a pretty girl modelling your creation:

Choo-choo Train Ride

We went to Gurney Plaza today and daddy brought you to look your latest fascination, the Christmas tree. On our way to the new wing, we spotted something nice and interesting. 

I planned to let you ride with Mei-mei by yourselves.  But the man running the ride was worried Evelyn get afraid halfway during the ride. So he asked mummy to join in the ride but just paying for 2. But we paid for 3 to be fair to them. 

So here are the 3 of us smiling at daddy, enjoying ourselves:

Evelyn Self-feeding

As usual if mummy lets you have lunch, you will end up self-feeding. Today you fed yourself while I took pictures of you enjoying lunch.
Halfway through lunch, you said "chu chu tain (train)" before putting the spoonful of porridge in your mouth. This was something you picked up from Nanna when she fed you dinner over two weeks ago.  Seems like your long term memory is improving as I didn't expect you to remember that simple game she played with you to get you to finish dinner.
Love the way you eat your food, as if it's the best food ever:

Haircut Again

As usual it was time for Ko-ko to have his haircut. This time, you also needed a cut and not just trim your fringe. The hair at the back is getting quite long and it irritates you when you eat... especially when the fan is blowing at you.
So many days before we went for your haircut, mummy had no prep you:
Mummy: uncle cut hair for you,ok?
Evelyn: ha (that's how you say "yes")
Mummy: will you cry?
Evelyn: no
Mummy: can you move?
Evelyn: no

But of course after asking too many times perhaps you got bored so you teased me back by saying "ha" with a cheeky smile.
I'm glad to say that you behaved really well during the haircut and you look very nice.

This is your before and after picture:

Blur Case

Mummy picked you from school today. As you walked towards me, you realised that you had left your water in class. The teacher told you to take it tomorrow. So we went off.
Later when it was time to do your homework, you found out that it was not your water bottle that you had left behind. Instead, you had taken the wrong schoolbag! !!
So blur. Then again, I carried your bag to the car and even zipped up the bag and didn't notice the missing key chains on your bag. So who's more blur today?

Where's Our Lunch, Daddy?

Time to take some pictures while waiting for daddy to bring us our lunch.

Craft Time for Evelyn

Finally got a little time with you to introduce a little craft work. You had found some stickers which we had bought when we were in KL.
So I took a piece of paper and let you go crazy with the stickers.  You were ok to remove most of the stickers but some 'little girls' got chopped into half as you did not remove them carefully and tore them.  As for the smaller ones they got stuck to your fingers and had problems sticking them to the paper.
You were certainly proud of your artwork as you quickly showed daddy the masterpiece. You even took my phone and attempted to take a picture of your work.

Taxi Driver

Need a taxi? Contact Mr. Ban the taxi driver.
This was the number plate you created which was complete with your made up mobile number:

A Halloween Party

This year Aunty Wooi Sin invited you over again for a Halloween party at her house for fun and games. You ate a light dinner of lor mai kai which Ah Ma had bought from Ipoh before heading over to Sean's houses. 

You very happy to wear back last year's costume. So here is our Bat-boy who's all grown taller from last year (I had to release all the folded part for the legs). Of course, the little girl had to pose just like you for me too:

Here you are with Sean in his costume: 

This years party was a smaller group.  Other than you two boys the rest were girls with 3 of them dressed in the Frozen theme. The night was filled with games and craft.

You even took over with a 'Treasure hunt' game, hiding the chocolates you had brought over to share with the kids.

We went over to pick you at at close to 11pm but you along with all the other kids did not seem to have enough of the night yet. After a lot of persuasion the party finally ended.

You went home for a shower and took some time to wind down from a night of spooky fun.

Halloween Hunt

Ko-ko wanted to have a Halloween hunt since we bought you both a pumpkin candy carrier. So after dinner yesterday, Ko-ko hid 5 candies (he was so kind he made it very easy for you to find them) while I hid 5 and made it difficult for him as requested. 

Here you are posed with your pumpkin:

Before Ko-ko found all his 5 candies, you already started to eat them:

And here are the two of you after the hunt:

Enjoying Each Other's Company

This is what we do while waiting for daddy to pump tyre pressure yesterday.  We went to so many stations because many had faulty tyre pressure pump:

Happy birthday, Ah Kong

For Ah Kong's birthday this year we headed to CRC for dinner.  Before that,we had stopped by a bakery after music classes to pick up a few slices of cake.
The food as usual was great and we brought wine also. Finished off with a birthday song and the both of you helped Ah Kong blow out the candle.

Big Oh-wee

You are growing up so quickly.  From simple words you are joining 2 words. Last Saturday when we were in the car on the way to drop Ko-ko to school for Wushu you said "big oh-wee". I did not get what you were trying to say and only realised you meant "big lorry" when you pointed to a lorry. You can even differentiate between a car, van and motorcycle.
Yesterday you surprised us further when you answered Ko-ko "Mama got nennen" when he told you "Mummy has no more nennen".
I guess you'll talk even more when you start going to school.

Evelyn's 2nd Birthday Invitation

Since you seemed to like Elmo mummy decided to make an Elmo themed birthday. Here's the invitation card:

Evelyn's Birthday T-shirt

Since Evelyn's second birthday had an Elmo theme most things were planned with this in mind. Unfortunately the T-shirt I had ordered could not arrive on time.
So I managed to find Tesco selling singlets. And I printed out a picture of Elmo, traced on one and asked you to color it. You certainly did a good job.
Happy with the first singlet, you wanted to draw more but instead I gave you another which you immediately drew in without even using a pencil to draft.
After all was done you finished the job by taking pictures of your artwork too:
