Istana Garden Party - 8 February 2009

When Daddy came back this evening, Noinoi asked him where he went earlier. He told her that he went to the Istana Garden Party to meet the Prime Minister and President. Innocently, both Nicky and Noinoi asked what is a Prime Minister and President.

Daddy was dumbfounded for a moment then he tried to explain that the Prime Minister and President are the people who run the country. In Wikipedia, defines Prime Minister the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government. A prime minister is the official who is appointed to manage the civil service and execute the directives of the president.

Daddy told mummy, of all the Ministers that he met today, the only one that he felt so honoured to meet was the Minister Mentor, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The moment he was walking down from the staircase assisted by his aides, he was welcomed by thunderous applause and endless camera flashes. Daddy decided to join in the crowd to snap a shot of the Singapore "Father". Seeing the MM having to be assisted down the stairway, Daddy suddenly have this crunch, wondering how many more years and chances to be able to snap a picture for this great man.

Adverturous Noinoi

Firstly was trying to balance on top of the ball, second was the new year look haircut. The latest stint from our Princess Noinoi was stuffing a rolled up sticker into her nostril that scared the wits out of everyone in the house.

We were having lunch at home after Nicky's art class yesterday. Noinoi told mummy that she got sticker inside her nose. When mummy check, she was shocked to see a ball of paper stuck almost reaching her nasal cavity. It was after umpteen times of attempts of digging and nose blowing that finally got the ball of sticker out from her nose.

Our pictures are featured in the "War Cry" magazine again this month, not just us even Daddy and Auntie Phyllis also have their fair share of "identity explosure".

New Year, New Look

Daddy bought 2 new lights for our house, we thought they're cosy but mum thinks otherwise. we almost wanted to put up a poll to decide whether to keep it this way.

Nicky and Noinoi did their parts too contributing to the CNY decorations with their own creations.

Noinoi tried to have a new look also using her handicraft scissors to snap her hair this evening. Poor girl, she got worried and cried after daddy told her that her hair doesn't look nice anymore.
