Zachary turned 7 ... ...

How time flies... ... My elder boy, Zac turned 7 years old yesterday (4 Oct 2010).

I cannot help thinking how much he had grown, feeling really emotional when I look at him now... My little baby whom I nursed since birth is now 7 ;~~~~)

Many days before his birthday, Zac asked for a handmade birthday card from me. Yes, that's just what he ask for, a BIRTHDAY CARD from mummy ;p

He is always by my side so I can only work on the card when he is alseep. hehe...

I chose 2 of his favourite colors which is yellow & orange for the cover & the writing sheet respectively ;p

He did not see me working on the card so he kept reminding me if I have done it days before his birthday & again a day before his birthday. hehe.

I told him I'm "busy" but actually I've completed it days before. LOL :D:D:D:D

Here is the card :



He hinted to me that he would like to have "goodie bags" for his classmates too. This was really challenging for me cos children his age don't really fancy lots of candies & lollipops. As such, I went around sourcing for useful, cute stuff 2 weeks before his birthday for his 28 classmates (excluding Zac) + 2 for his Form Teacher & Chinese Teacher. Total : 30 gifts.


The "goodie" has to be colourful, useful & not too bulky. Zac has to transport the things alone to school so it must be manageable to him too.

Finally, I decided on Disney character photo frames. They were really colourful & his classmates could make use of them & remember Zac (hopefully!! hehehe). I added 2 "Tom & Jerry" toffee & decorated it on the photo frame as though a "ribbon". I spent quite a few days to re-paste the candies cos it kept dropping down ;p


I'm really satisfied with the output & Zac loved it !! :):)

How can a birthday boy not receive any pressies?

From mummy... ...

From daddy, .....something similiar to "Wii" from Sony PS3. Zac loves it & plays even better than anyone of us :):)

Zac also received presents from his classmates, Jean, Tiara & Nikki.

We had meals at his 2 favourite restaurants. He loves Swensen & japanese food.

His ice-cream cake was from swensen. He chose mango & strawberry flavour. Zac is NOT a chocolate lover. Can you see his unhappy face upon receiving the complimentary mini Coit Tower with lotsa chocolate & nuts? Oh no...

We had Swensen Weekend Breakfast a day before his birthday.

Zac had a sumptuous lunch on his birthday. He had a share in all the below food you see. He ate more than me !! LOL :D

Thank you to all my friends & Zac's friends whom had sent in their birthday wishes for him either through sms or FB. Zac is very happy to read all the messages for him ;)

Lastly, the most memorable moment happened at night. Zac lie-down on the bed beside me & he kissed & thanked me for all the efforts & money incurred to make his birthday possible. I was shocked as I never expected it. He has never said that to me for his passed birthday. My little boy has really "matured" & his little gesture really warms my heart :):):)

Amos turned 4 !!

We celebrated Amos' 4th birthday yesterday :)
Although it was a small celebration, little Amos enjoyed himself tremendously... ...

We had lunch at Swensen, there was a long queue due to the 1 for 1 lunch offer. I din even know of the promotion, it was really worth i t!! :):)

Amos was so excited to head to Kidz Amaze.... we haven't been there for months but he could still rem the different passages leading to different slides. He had 2 hrs of non-stop fun & was reluctant to go home.

It was really late & I have to invite the birthday boy to return home to cut his birthday cake. :D:D

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY to Darling Amos
May you always be cheerful & lovable :):)

Surprise at Faith's 4th Birthday Party :)

My friend, Audrey's princess Faith had a fantastic 4th birthday party in December 2009.



Faith was overjoyed to introduce her favourtie Brand's alpha Shield Chewable C Double Action & Alpha Vision Bilberry with Vit A & Zinc to her friends and cousins. These were the treasures that came along with the goodie bags :) We were delighted all of the kids love the taste of these 2 vitamins.


Though Amos & Zachary did not make it for the party, Audrey had kindly reserved some for them. Look how jolly they were!! In fact, they had been taking the Brand's Vit C, DHA & Bilberry with Vit A & Zinc since 2 years ago. They especially love the taste of Vit C. Zac has been a member of Brand's since then :):)

Zac turned 6 !!

Zac turned 6 yrs old on 4 Oct 09... ...
We had lunch at Swensens, one of Zac's fav restaurant !!
Complimentary firehouse sundae for the birthday boy :)~~~



This year, Zac chose mango filling CAR 95 cake :)
We actually planned to cut the cake at the restaurant, however, Zac was too full to consume the cake. As such, we brought the cake to my MIL's house ... ...


We proceeded to Orchid Bowl at Downtown East cos daddy promised to bring Zac for bowling as he had scored 100 marks 5 times consecutively for his English Spelling in school !!
However, the waiting list was too long. The boys played at the mini-bowl instead. They played 3 sets of games together.


We went to the beach nearby after that. Amos saw a fallen kite from a tree... ... hehehe ;p
They had so much fun running with it !!



Zac's pressie from mummy & daddy. A CAR 95 pencil case, a world globe & Beados toy :)


Birthday Card, Swensen voucher & Tumbling Monkey toy from Auntie Molly :)


Toy glasses & UNO cards from Auntie Sri & Goodie Bags from Auntie Audrey :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, Darling Zac...
Mummy & Daddy hope you had great fun on your birthday & always stay cheerful & healthy *hug* :):)

Amos' NEW personalised bag

I ordered the personalised bag for Amos a week ago. This was his belated 3rd birthday pressie given by his beloved auntie Molly. It was delivered via registered mail this morning. Amos was delighted to see his name sewn on it. He chose the design himself from a dozen of choices. I hope the bag can last him throughout his pre-school years since it looks durable & rather spacious ;)

Btw, here's how much it cost... ...
$32 + $5 (personalisation) + $1.50 (postage) + $2.25 (registered mail) = $40.75

Amos made the card in school yesterday & he rushed to give to me the moment he reached home. So sweet !! I will treat it as his birthday card for me. *blush*

Zac drew the below for me. He wrote on the cover " Happy Birthday to my mummy" & a pic of me holding a flower. Awwwwww.....

On the inside of the card he wrote again
"My dear Janice,
I have dear Amos Ong
I am a boy"

On the next page, he drew a picture of a heart with Amos & my name on it.

hahahahaha.... so sweet of him to include Amos in the card. I ask him what he meant by those words. He said that mummy has Amos & me (refering to himself). LOL :D:D:D

I went for supper at Newton Circus with my good friends last Saturday after a late night movie to celebrate my birthday. Its been such a long time since I last dine at Newton Circus. Its a pleasure eating those sinful food you see below. I'm feeling hungry now looking at it. hehe :)~~~~
