A date with the ponies

I probably wasn't really expecting Wayne to go on a pony ride, but somehow I still felt a tinge of disappointment when he told me he was scared and didn't want to. Wayne has always steered towards being that little bit more timid compared to other kids from young. Sometimes, I read about how other kids have so much fun trying out various new activities (which I'm constantly on the look out for) such as feeding animals, enjoying musicals, going on pony rides etc.. And I wish Wayne would be a little more gungho and adventurous too. Sure, it keeps him a little less accident prone, but surely all these exploring would be good for his learning too. And come on, he is a boy!

Well, I guess he will learn and enjoy these activities at his own pace. And, we probably can play a part in encouraging him that bit more. I'm sure one day he will have his turn!

As for today, we were content to just admire the ponies from a distance, and watch some other jiejie's go on their pony rides.

And savour some yummy desserts at the nearby restaurant too!

Birthday bliss

Pretty flowers from the husband to celebrate the day!

I turn a year older again. I'm painfully aware that age is creeping up but today, the husband told me, "Don't worry you still look very young" and it dawned upon me that perhaps very soon I won't be looking 'young' anymore. Can't help but wonder when that auntie look actually starts hitting us?

Looks aside, I am pretty happy turning 32. With two beautiful kids, a loving husband and a whole lot of our family members healthy and happy together, what else can I ask for? I am contented. On days I am not, I really should. =)

Birthday breakfast at the Sky Terrace

Thanks to the husband for the early morning breakfast prepared - we had ham, eggs, sausages, bread and baked beans complete with hot coffee in a flask. It felt so good waking up early, enjoying the morning breeze while sipping our hot coffee! Having our breakfast on the 14th floor sky terrace sure was a refreshing experience! I want to do this again.

Birthday dinner with the family

The night before, we had my birthday dinner celebration with the in-laws at Liang Court. Thanks for the dinner, birthday cake and present! 

Baker & Cook

The opening of a new bakery just down the road from home, its grand opening on the same day as my birthday. Being the bread lover I am, we just had to try it.

Tea time at another favorite bakery of mine, Paul. 

Bomba Paella Bar

Birthday dinner at yet another newly opened restaurant just down the road, beside Baker & Cook. The food here was really good. We had the seafood paella, which was very flavorful, definitely one of the best I've eaten. We also had the Secreto Iberico, which is a pork dish cooked like beef. It was cooked in such a unique way, I don't even know how to describe but it was just so yummy. And lastly, we also tried the scallops, which like the rest of the dishes was simply delicious and impressive. The food here definitely will not disappoint you! 

And that was just some of the things we did on my birthday. All revolving around food I realize! 

The colorful bridge

The bridge Wayne loves

The bridge which he calls the 'colorful bridge'

The bridge where he loves to run on

The bridge where we have our races

The bridge where happy weekend moments are spent

Celebrations has begun

I am turning 32 this first November.

 Since mom and dad will be away in Japan, we had an early celebration to celebrate Kenneth and my birthday! 

Mom cooked a sumptuous meal for us (home cooked food sure is a treat these days!), and Vivien got us the yummy cupcakes from Twelve Cupcakes (another favorite!).  Thanks everyone for the happy night of celebration together!

A candle for me, and another for Ken! There would have been three candles if Terry was here!

WIth my big boy

My ever beautiful younger sister and brother in law

Sumptuous dinner complete with almond longan dessert! We were stuffed by the end of the night with all the food!

Love.
