ueno: yes you can use the pass anytime. go http://www.mygym.sg/ to check out the schedule. Me go on sunday from 2pm to 245pm time slot. Normally I will go early like 130pm to let her have the free play first. heehee
 
mamboob, sure you can give the pass to ueno. I'll take it from poochi.

Poochi/Kitty, when u intend to go, want to go together?

btw what is "grab zhou"?
 
k@ye, ya that i agree....not everyone so 'lucky' to stay with MIL....hey for my case its 'MIL STAYING with ME!'. makes alot of difference ok.....

Kitty, i have no idea liao... Mabbe u google and can find more info!

Langlao, its a Chinese ceremony to see what our babies will grow up to be. Usually, its done when our babies are 1 yr old. There is a list of things for them to grab, the things will symbolise diff professions.

Poochi, very tiring to break into 2 birthday sessions!
 
S@l, ya... MIL stays will u definitely is different coz to begin with the house dun belongs to her!

I like the stuff u made for Mischa!! So cute!!! And she can use that when she is older!

Langlao, hehe put the things all on the floor or table... and see what the baby grab lor.. Usually, they will grab something that will entice them... So must ensure that those things we let them grab are of the same color and stuff lor...
 
k@ye ya tink i crazy it will be 2 diff days tho. Sat & Sun.

langlao - u go ahead la. Cos end of mth goin Aus before that I busy. But next time if u wanna go other playgrp etc.. let me know cos I stay in west also mayb we can go tog than..
oh ya i also find that the pigeon mag cup leaks tot its faulty. Ash also started sipping so cute rt?! Hazel also learnt last week, but she can suck with the straw but forgot to swallow - so she sometimes spits out water ha ha.. Is the other cup u bought better?
 
S@L,
wah, you really very creative ah... both are equally sweet!

Choc chip and pecan cookies recipe

130g butter, softened
160g sugar, fine grained
2 eggs
200g plain flour
1 heaped tsp baking powder
100g pecan (or any type of unsalted nuts), roughly chopped 100g mini chocolate chips (I used Hershey's semi-sweetened ones)

180 degrees oven (Preheat oven)

1. Cream butter and sugar together, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.

2. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then stir into the creamed mixture.

3. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. Supposed to get a stiff texture but I didn't. You can cool it in the fridge for 2 hrs before baking if desired.

4. Line an oven baking tray with baking paper. Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on the tray. Mine were flat balls.

5. Bake for around 18 to 22 minutes, depending of size of cookie. Cool on a wire rack.


Personal thoughts:
I have tweaked some bits of the recipe. You can try reducing 10g of sugar if you don't want a sweet cookie. This recipe is very easy and fast to do. I managed to get 32 cookies and this equates to 2 batches of baking and I can be done. Can get more yield if you do smaller spoonsfuls.
 
poochi, ya very exciting when she start to sip and also I realise she drinks more this way cos she keeps wanting to suck the water out.

kitty, let me know when u can go. we'll arrange.
 
it is called 抓周... haha or grab zhou la. same same.. it's supposed to tell the child's future from the first item he/she grabs!

The balloons still stuck in Ohio. I will try to get this resolved.
 
Hi mummies, I hve finally settled down in Phoenix and oh boy! It's a hot and dry area. Dessert! Cactus and all. But good place to shop for kid's stuff. Babies R us, Old Navy, Children's place, Gymboree all within 10-15mins drive from where i stay.. Have to control my spending haha!

Hey Ueno, wanted to check, did you bring along your car seat when you were in LA? I am bringing my son to Disneyland to celebrate his 1st birthday and will be flying up,so thinking whether I should bring the seat along.

poochi, haha, we just cut his hair last week, a bit short for the beckham's hairstyle. Should have cut earlier in time for the photoshoot... Yupz I used Ben Loo too. He's quite good at making the babies smile and laugh. I like the horsey he has. Matt is very tickled by it. Haha...
