BBQ-Mummy's posting

Yes, we are having our first BBQ here in Melbourne. I always like to have BBQ and misses the bbq time that i had with "my sisters" back in Singapore. I finally get to have 1 here eventhough is not charcoal bbq but the food still taste delicious. Thanks to Felix (the big chef) and Anne.

The weather was good last Sunday. The food is nice, Felix and Anne prepares the BBQ food(meat/chix wing/prawns/lamb chop etc)while we prepare the cook food (fried bee hoon/spaggeti.Not we lah, only my mum and Jerry. Anyway we all have a great evening with the yummy food, nice weather and friendly host.

The food are all so nice until i forget to take more photos. The kids are also enjoying themselves.

Tulip Farm

After many weeks of travelling up and down searching for houses, we decided to give ourselves a break last weekend. We went to visit the Tulip Farm. It is situated on the eastern side of Melbourne about an hour drives from our place.

Actually we even wanted to go and see the Berries and Cherries farm there, where you can see strawberries, blueberries, cherries, rasberries and all other berries growing from the trees/plants which is near to this Tulip Farm, but they are only open in December so we just got to wait for next trip.

Anyway back to the Tulip Farm. I must say that the flowers are very beautiful all in different types of colors, lining up in rows across the field. Some colors you have not even seen it in the market too. The staff there will all dress up in Dutch costume to create the feeling of being in Holland i guess. But too bad, me forgotten to charge my camera battery so didnt manage to capture the beautiful pictures of those flowers.

Sean was having fun too running around, learning few new stuff there.

Anyway the link below can describe more than i can write in a thousand words

Street Busker

Some continuation from the posting of our Dream House......because mummy says that we need to buy a new house, it means we need to have lots of money. So, Daddy and I are trying very hard to learn and master some acrobatic skills so that we can busk on the street or maybe in the circus. See how hard we have been training.We shall call this stunt "super boy".

Our Dream House

We are very busy lately, almost every weekend we got to travel here and there just to find a piece of land to build our house. Jerry intends to buy a house here because he thinks that paying rental is kind of "rugi" and the house is not yours somemore. But because of our restricted budget we couldn't afford houses that is near to the city and we also donn't like these houses because it is kind of old and not newly build since it is in a developed surburb which means the house is being build long time ago (just like resale flat)

We finally found something we kind of like and yet affordable but we gotta travel abit way out probably around 24km to city, the distance is like from Pasir to Kampong Bahru so we think is still alright, and its pretty normal for the local here so we guess we just got to get used to it. That suburb is call Tarneit, west side of Melbourne. We wanted Point Cook initially but the land there is selling too fast and the price just sky rocketed high in seconds so we reckon that we couldn't afford it anymore. So the next surburb will be Tarneit. We wanted to build our own house.

So here is our new house Ta Da....How i wish too....unfortunetely this is just the display home by the builder which is going to build our house. Yes we plan to build an exact same house but not as nice as in the picture because we do not have so much money to buy all the nice and expensive furniture yet. Still looking for sponsorship.Haha. If everything goes through smoothly we should be moving into this new home in October next year.

P/s : From the picture above i think you already can see and sense that both Jerry and Sean feel so at home liao. One watching TV in the theater room and another pictures in the kitchen washing their hands i think as if it is their own house already.

Mooncake festival

Is the Mid Autumn Festival. But we don't have any laterns here, there is but only those very plain and normal kind of paper latern not like in Singapore they have some many different kind of beautiful,colorful laterns. Nevertheless we still have mooncakes here so not too bad, but again is uncomparable with what we used to have in Singapore.

We didnt have any celebration, anyway in Singapore we didnt really celebrate as well, but we bought some mooncakes (the snow skin ones) because I personally prefer snow skin than the normal baked ones. Sean likes to eat the baked one instead because he finds the snowskin mooncake soft and mushy. So leh we donn't need to fight.

We even have steamboat for dinner. My mum is here to join us and she will gets lots of mischives from then on.

Visiting Farm

I have been very busy lately because i have started working with a Construction Company doing accounts, so really cann't find time to post Sean's daily activities in his blog. ANd because i am full of guitly feeling right now so i thought in order not to dissapoint those who luv sean alot i shall better post something out.

Actually we spent most of the weekend with the Choo's family. They are very nice people, we always eat out together and at times at their place. They can cook very well especially Felix. If not we will try to organize activities where both our small kids can play. Sean and Caleb is getting along well. They like to play with each other, chasing each other and when 1 does some silly actions the other one will follow(just like monkey see and monkey do).

One of the weekends we actually went to a farm near our place. Yes... is a farm in the city not too bad right, at least donn't have to drive until so far away to see farm animals. Below are some photos taken at the farm visit. Despite the cold weather, the kids still enjoyed themselves alot chasing after the animals. We also had a very expensive breakfast there, maybe because the food there are organic eg organic poached egg, their own grown mushroom thats why is expensive. But overall everything is quite alright.

We are even planning to go for farmstay somewhere this month or next month, just a short trip for the kids since my mum is here as well then she can tag along.

Updates

Just want to pen down a couple of incidents for the month before I forgets about it. I know I have not been updating Sean's blog recently that is because I really do not have the time to do so. ANyway just a short ones here.

1)Pushing of other kids (July)

So far I have been told twice by the school that Sean's is pushing his friends in class. Actually is only 1 victim (a girl) and he even bites her (the same girl) on a separate day. I am not sure what exactly happens or did the girl actually aggitates thus leads to Seans' behavior and action. But the first thing that comes to my mind is why is it the same girl? But I do notice he likes to push other kids, maybe he is trying to play with them but just that he cann't control his actions and thinking that pushing is part of playing. I really don' t know, so now what we do was we constantly reminds him that his action is wrong and may cause harm to another kids. So far as at 15/08/07 i think he improves because no more complaints from the school and according to his class teacher, he is doing quite well lately.

2) Fell down from bicycle.

He got a cut on his lower lip on the right side while playing with a bicycle in school. Nothing very serious. so no need to worry about it. The thing that impressed me was he can even tell me himself that "Sean falls down bike, got blood blood, Rubeha (which is 1 of the teacher) wipe " exact words of what he said to me.

3)New Bicycle

We bought him a new bicycle and he likes it alot. The reason why we bought him the bicycle is because we always tell him that he should goes to school and no crying because both daddy and mummy needs to work then only we got money to buy him new toys. So in order not to bluff him we decided to reward him the bike since he always like to ride on a bike in school and also in any toy department store. He does improves alot, as in not crying anymore when we send him to the school, the tricky part is only when we wakes him up early in the morning, he can be very cranky at times not wanting to wakes up so early.

4)Flu,fever,vomitting

His appette is quite good until recently where he is down with flu and fever. He skipped class 1 day just to rest at home, luckily jerry 's off that day. He is down with mild fever, flu and coughing. Some of Jerry's friend was saying tha flu is quite common for kids during winter so it should be alright. You can see them with flu now, recover the next few days and comes back again. So they say nothing to worry about. As for his coughing....sigh..... at times is so bad that he can even vomits out the food that he had eaten earlier. Sometimes i feel that he did it on purpose because I notice when he doesn't want to eat the food he tends to throw out often by coughing. And because he likes to swallow food before chewing thus causing indigestion and leads to throwing out easily. Now we try to give him more smaller meals hopefully it helps because we are really tired with cleaning the vomitting mess.

5)Development

Physical

I am not sure how tall is he, but alot of people who has seen Sean tends to say that he is quite tall for his age. Maybe because he is kind of skinny so he looks taller as well. Weight...not much difference about 13kg consider as healthy for his age but i hope he can gain abit more weight because you can see his rib cage if you take out his shirt.

Language

Major improvement. He starts to form sentences these days even though some words still unclear but you can more or less know what is he trying to say. Not only me, even the teacher can understand so i think is really good. He likes to sing when we play his songs, not the whole song of course. Recognizing most colors and counting numbers. Even the teacher is the school also praise him.

Character

Consider quite alright, not very naughty and yet not very obedient. He has got his own character. When he doesn't want something is quite difficult to force/coax him into wanting the thing. When he wants something, he is very determine and he will make sure he gets it most of the time by bugging us the whole day. Very impatient boy, can not wait. Very playful and "tham jiak" For the sake of eating "rubbish" (tidbits) you can ask him to do whatever you want him to do. Likes to eat noodles, biscuits and lots of rubbish(chocolates, sweets,potato chips). Favorite is still biscuits, don't know why. At his age now he tends to be abit selfish and doesn't like to share his toys. Still super fanatic about cars, like basically everything that do with cars.

I think i have cover most of him. Will try to keep a constant update in future.

Yummy for my Tummy

After so much of hard saving, we decided to pampered ourselves. We went for a sumptous dinner at a restaurant in Crown call "The Mesh" They serve seafood buffet which cost $47 per head and free for toddler. Toddler of course free lah since they are not eating much.

Anyway back to the restaurant. It has got good atsmosphere with live band playing nice song. The food to mummy is only so so because they serve mainly seafood in western style. Eg cold prawns , cold crabs which mummy prefer it to be cook in chinese style eg steam prawn in wine, chilli crab etc....

But even so she still enjoy herself,as for daddy needless to say he enjoys the most because they serve his favaurite food. Oysters. According to him, he ate about 30 pcs of raw oysters.

Me...of course can not loose out. I first started with eating abit of pasta, then fries , then a lots of dessert. Ice-creams....Caramel Custard.....Cakes...... And because there is a live band, alot of the people started to dance after finishing their meals.

Me all getting ready for "gai gai". Pic taken outside our house.

All of us enjoying the yummy food.

Mummy caught red handed!!!Still say want to go on diet.
