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:

Sunday Evening in KL

After the long lunch we headed back to the hotel for a siesta. 

Again after Evelyn had her late afternoon nap followed by a swim in the deserted pool (most guests checked out that day since the next day was a school day).

Dinner was a simple one at one of the Japanese restaurant in Isetan. Daddy then left to join his friends in Uncle Hun Kheng's house while we wandered around 1 Utama. 

Found these rides which you used to love.  I had little coins in my purse so we only managed 1 ride.

Went into Pumpkin Patch to look for a pair of sunglasses for you and the girls in the shop found enough small change to exchange so that you both got another ride:

After walking a bit more we headed back to the room where you helped me keep Evelyn entertained while I packed.  

Then put you both to sleep. Such a long day that Evelyn slept almost immediately while you dozed off watching cartoons. 

Wedding Lunch in KL

We had a light breakfast before getting ready nd heading to Tropicana Golf Resort where Uncle Hun Kheng's wedding lunch was held.
Evelyn fell asleep on the way there but woke up the moment we reached the hall. Lunch was good and you both enjoyed the good food. Even needed a diaper change.
The highlight of the day was when it was time to yum seng. Look at you lifting your drink in cheers to the new couple and joining in by shouting yum seng too:

Breakfast at One World Hotel

 Ko-ko enjoying the cheese selection (especially the stinky blue cheese)

 And you showing your cheeky face

Our Second Day in KL

We lazed in bed on Saturday morning.  So we were rather late for breakfast. But not too late. We still managed to try out quite a few things from the very large breakfast selection.
After a leisurely shower we headed to 1 Utama next door for a little walkie walkie. Bought some things and you both were starting to get restless and tired. So we headed back to the room where Evelyn fell asleep quickly while you snacked and watched TV.
It looked dark outside and daddy offered to bring you swimming before the rain came but you insisted that you wanted all 4 of us to go swimming.  So since Evelyn had napped for almost 2 hours we woke her up and went swimming. 
The water was cold and the wind didn't make things better.  So after 20 mins or se Evelyn and I went back to the room for a warm shower and went back down to join you as you had your hot chocolate.
Later on we went to Uncle Hun Kheng's house for dinner and you both had a wonderful time playing in his really big house.
Went back  and we all KO-ed almost as soon as our heads touched the pillow.

Our Evelyn Turns Two

Happy birthday to our little precious sunshine. 

A Short Holiday

It was a good coincidence that daddy's uni mate had his wedding during the school holidays.  Luckily we had enough time to plan a short getaway to KL too. Managed to get a room in One World Hotel which was the company's corporate hotel so we got a good rate.
Planned to leave on Friday after breakfast but you decided to have a tummy ache so another detour home before starting the journey. 
We arrived on time for lunch which was a quick bite at Ikea followed by some walkie walkie.
Checked into the hotel and Mei-mei continued to nap for a while. By the time she woke up it rained so no swimming. Instead, we headed to Jakes for our steak fix... more accurately yours and daddy's.  Mei-mei got her "balloon fix".
When we'd finished with dinner we headed to BSC to do a little shopping.  Boy was it crowded.  Daddy had to go very far down to finally get a parking spot.
Went back and shortly you both fell asleep. Or maybe mummy slept first.. it sure was a long day.

Daddy's Boss

Hi, it's me Evelyn.  Yup I am daddy's boss. Loook at me supervising daddy as he makes my favourite fruit yogurt. Yes, he's adding mangoes to the yogurt and I need to make sure he does a good job!!

Mummy on the other hand was busy taking pictures of me doing my job. And I even had to take my eyes off daddy to pose for her. What a tough job.

But the best part was the taste test. Yummy.. Slurp!  Good job, daddy. Kiss kiss.

Cool Kids

You were both watching Barney and there was an episode where the kids were by the beach wearing sunglasses. Knowing that there were sunnies from a long time back. Ko-ko took 2 pairs, one for him and another for you... 

Love is...

...having a sibling who loves you so much

Spotty at 23 Months Old

How did you get so spotty? Because you love stickers and would tell mummy "aand" (hand) and stick out your hands to me asking for them knowing that I keep them in my bag. After you've gotten two for your hands you'll say "toeshh" for more to be stuck on your feet. Sometimes you'd given some to Ko-ko too.

Other times even the "paid" tape which we get from9m the supermarket is good enough for you. 

Shampoo-ey Hairstyles

Evan's Sword

Asked for cardboard in this color then dug for my scissors next asked for tape then double sided tape and asked me to help cut.. just to make your "fei tao". I have no idea what it's supposed to be. Lo9ks like  double sided sword. It's still WIP as the sword need to be flattened since the cardboard I gave you was rolled up.
Next you asked for this cardboard and that and ended up with this sword:

Even made a mini one for Mei-mei but it's already missing.
