Tomorrow is Noelle's actual birthday, Mummy and Daddy bought a cake and some goody bags for her to celebrate with her classmates in school today. There are also two other girls who celebrated their birthdays in school today. She even took pictures with her teachers, they were all so sporting!

Gugu left for her training in Taipei today, we wish her every success in all the arrangements and journey mercy. Daddy will be fetching Adam to go for Music class with Nicole and mummy on Sunday.

We also want to pray for good weather on Sunday because we will be going for an outdoor concert after the music class. The SDT's Ballet under the Stars performance at Fort Canning Park. We were there last year too, and we enjoyed ourselves so much.

The TSA Annual Report 2008 was officially revealed at the Red Shield Appeal Luncheon last Friday. This year Daddy is not involved but his boss was nice to bring back a copy of the report for us to keep.

Mummy first respond when she sees the book was "Why Nicole's hair so messy!" Sigh... yes that's our mummy! The funniest remark comes from Daddy, he said "Her daddy is not me!" Hahahaha

Today, is Racial Harmony Day, Granny helped to buy the famous Jalan Kayu Roti Prata for us to bring to our school. Guessed what we wear, Nicole could not fit into her CNY Cheongsam that Daddy bought from HK so got to wear the same Vietnamese costume that she wore last year bought by her Papa, As for Noelle, she got the set of Chinese costume bought by Granny from China.

In school, Mrs Sunder even helped Nicole to do Henna drawing on her hand. Mummy said that Mrs Wong topped all the teachers and students, she should win the Best Dressed Award, should there be one. Perhaps should suggest to the school for next year!

Unlike the usual Saturday, Daddy sent Nicole Jie Jie for her Chinese enrichment class in the morning. Instead of waiting outside during her class, we went to the supermarket to buy some drinks for the party.

After the Chinese class, mummy sent Jie Jie for her drama class while Daddy and Noelle went back home to decorate for the party. Think Granny is very excited also, she woke up as early as 5am to wash the corridor! Mummy was so worried that Granny would disturb and wake up our neighbours with all her brushing.

Noelle fell asleep on the way to her class, since they were early so Daddy decided to park outside the school and let her sleep. After Nicole's drama class, she also slept in the car while waiting for Noelle. Nicole slept all the way until we reached the cake shop.

At the cake shop, mummy saw another mummy also collecting her cake, their cake seemed much nicer and bigger compared to ours because their's is a two tier cake.

Just before the party starts, the sky suddenly break with a heavy downpour!!! Our guests maybe thinking what a stingy host! ONLY the Grannies would understand this line! Thank God, the rain stopped about an hour later. By then most of our guests have arrived and to kick off the party, the Magic Prince Danny made his "royal" appearance. He even organised the Pinata game that originated from Mexico. Thanks to all our Gugus, Angila Er Gu Mindy and Uncle Andy, Zeni Gugu, Auntie E-han and Agnes for sponsoring the show.

After the magic show, we have the internationally renowned meal for children.....the Macdonald's Happy Meal! Hahaha. The airplane formation show and fireworks weren't the successful due to the cloudy sky. That did not dampened our party spirits, only felt sorry for the poor pilots and the pyrotechnicians. We counted our blessings thank God for the wonderful party, for the fun and joy that we can share with our friends and their parents.

All ready for Noelle's birthday party on Saturday?

Check out the goodie bags and party hats!!

What else is missing? Auntie Tess & her new baby! Just arrived on 14 July 2008, our new baby in town, Ah....Renae? They are still in confinement this Saturday.

The NDP is coming again! The pyrotechnic team for the NDP08 is staying at Lloyd's Inn until 11 August 08. One of them told daddy that they are trying out the 25% of the firework display last Saturday and 50% this Saturday and 100% the following Saturday.

We caught the preview fighter planes formation and fireworks display right from our new house window. The view at our living room was the best.

It was definitely worth the wait for poor Nicole after a long day. She started her day since 9am for Chinese class, followed by Speech and Drama at 12nn on Saturday. After class, Daddy still taught her music theory while waiting for Noelle. After Noelle's class, we proceeded to Tekka Mall to buy the goody bags for Noelle's birthday party! By the time we reached home was almost 6pm, she insisted that she must wait for the fireworks despite not having her beauty nap in the afternoon. Daddy made her sit on his bed and watch the sky, thinking she probably fall asleep after that. Hahaha so naive! She was very persistent to wait till she sees the firework display.

Gugu also helped to confirm the magician for Noelle's party at 5.30pm. Nicole told mummy that she wants to magician to come to her next birthday party also. Huh..... no sure if we gonna have birthday party at home again, otherwise we will have the magician to go to the school!

Guessed what Nicole did in her Drama class today, they made a snorkeling goggle. Last week they also made a fish tank out of paper plate. So creative! I wonder what did Noelle do in her class? Mummy caught her pulling her classmate away by his shirt in order for her to collect her shoes after class!

Should he sell or keep the table? Daddy is thinking of selling off his favourite chest study table to make way for a new piano. The dealer from Grandma's contact suggested daddy to put up an auction in the internet

Mummy thought the table looks ugly and out of theme compared to the overall theme for the new house. But daddy thought the chinese theme seems to sync with the overall deco fronting the living room. Any comments?
