My little boy turns 4!
Times really flies.. my boy turns 4, girl turning 1.5yo in another mth time! Cant believe my kids are growing up so fast!
My boy is picking up more languages skills at school. Nursery class now.. so he shd be learning how to write & read in English & Chinese to prepare himself for primary 1 in another 2+ yrs time.
We bought him a 4wheeled bicycle for his birthday present. He loves it very much & is coping to cycle the 'big' bicycle. It was pretty tall for him, but a bigger bike can lasts him more years. Now that WL got a new bike, HB got a new air pump for his own bicycle, both Dad & son had lots of guy bonding session over the wkends. Left me pushing little girl in WL's smaller tricycle ard the neigbourhood. Guess HB will buy a brand new bike for himself, & i will install a child seat on his old bike, so the family of 4 can go for a longer distance cycling trip!
JE has been 'growing' also. Her side big teeth r developing.. soon she can join us in our normal meals. And because she felt that she has more teeth, she can BITE people! Poor WL was bitten by JE during 1 of the playing session:
JE also loves to climb up & down.. UP the window frames & door grills.. DOWN under the table & chairs! She's walking quite stable now & hardly crawls. She will spin ard in circles or even attempt to run or jump.. & ended up on the floor.. haha~
JE is adapting well to strangers & my family members. She's also very jealous when I'm carrying other people. At my parents' hse reunion dinner, I helped to care for my nephew & she cries in tears! haha~ I wasn't allow to bathe every night if HB is not ard. If i say i wan bathe, she stick to me like glue! If i ran into the bathroom w/o her, she will cry outside the bathroom till i come out! Terrible hor! She loves to bathe, esp if she sees Daddy bathing Kor Kor w/o her, she will try remove her clothes (which she cannot) & walk into the bathroom even when it's not her turn yet... At least now the Dad is helping me wif some chores.. haha~

CNY cookies- Honey Cornflakes
Wif a brand new oven purchased last yr, it's time i displayed my baking skills. Although i still had a 'super-glue' daughter, i'm glad tt i have my sis' helping hands ard. So i managed to bake - Honey Cornflakes Cookies. It's a very simple baking method. And given my limited time, so it's the only cookies i can try this year. Sad ar.. but it was a good try though. Presenting my honey cornflakes:
Receipe i took from online blogs:
Ingredients
275g cornflakes
100g sliced almonds
250g butter
½ cup honey
4 tbsp sugar
Method
Melt butter, honey and sugar in saucepan till it bubbles and becomes a thick homogenous mixture, about 5 mins. Pour into cornflakes and almonds, stir well to combine. Put into small paper cups. Bake at 180C for 6-8 mins. Leave to cool and crisp. Store in airtight container.
Above receipe is quite sweet.. tt's the comment fr ple who ate my Honey Cornflakes. I suspect it's the honey. Will be trying 2nd round this wk or next wk.. lol~ Gd luck to me & whoever is gng to try this!

Creative Embroidery
I always fuss over my uneven, messy eyebrows. And worse still, i go teased my sis on her uneven eyebrow too. So 1 day, sis went to do Creative Embroidery. Effect: Lovely! I like her brows.. so neat.. so i went to search on more details on CE!
Call up a few popular salons & they r either too far, too expensive or waiting time is too long- mid yr! So amongst 1 of the forum, some1 was mentioning abt Estetica. A search in the net reveal a branch at Yishun Northpt. Great! Next i called them up & was quoted $180! Wow.. it's very cheap but it make me hestitate if it's really CE or eyebrow embroidery. As mkt price outside is above 300/400 or even 1k!! Anyway, i still make an appointment.
At the outlet, i was quoted MORE! Advertising tactic.. Cost of $180 exclude touch up $100, antiseptic liquid $20 each & GST lor. *Angry!* & they keep promoting Facial, slimming + VIP membership. All i nid is only CE!!! After being pester while waiting for the beautician, i took up a small facial package wif FOC 2 moles removal. Got 2 irritating moles on my left cheek. Was quoted $100 for ea mole removal, & i got it FOC wif 6 facial treatment. The rest of slimming + VIP, i rejected firmly.
My beautician is Angie. She was quoted in the forum and she was the only 1 doing CE in that outlet. So all the picture of previous customers shown to me, were done by her. She's very friendly & my outcome: LOVELY! Lot of gd comments fr my colleagues praising the shape was well-done. So now i have a pair of neat eyebrows.
Presenting my left eyebrow as i couldn't manage to take nice photo alone.
Doesn't it look very natural? It's also call 3D creative embroidery, coz the ink is pierced into the skin in straight line.. not tattoo or shading.. It's suppose to last a few years.. therefore, consider semi-permanent.

Welcome to TWENTY ELEVEN!!!
Wishes all readers a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Brand new year marks a few changes for each of us in the family.
JE: She's gng to turn 18mths in 3mths time. Planning to put her into childcare after she turns 1.5yo. Hopefully she will survive well in there...
WL: He's graduated into NURSERY! Oh my, my boy has grown up so much. 4yo in a mth's time. Got to prepare his bday party supplies for his classmates.
HB & Myself: We are turning THIRTIES towards end of the year. Excited.. n hope we will achieve more as we grow older.. haha~
Soon it be time to welcome Chinese New Year... A day after Xmas, i already heard some stores playing CNY songs.. hanging RED clothes in their stores.. Yup, 1 mth left for my spring cleaning, CNY grocery shopping, new year clothes shopping..
Sad thing is HB may not be able to get his leave & he has to work on all days of CNY. So there may be some changes to the CNY families visiting routine this year. Details have not been discussed yet.
Excited to welcome Year of Rabbit..
