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?

Finally moved into our new house on 21 June 2008. Daddy was not able to connect to the WIFI in our new house, hence the delay in this update. The first two nights in the new house, we didnt have our beds and had to bunk in with daddy and mummy. Thank God, the new mattress been delivered on Tuesday and we need not "merry go round" the bed with daddy anymore. To add further, the wait was worthwhile as you maybe able to tell from our expression, how much we love our new bed. Thanks to our Xiao gu, she even helped us to pick a pair of bed guards that matches the colour of our bedsheets.

SCV & Internet connected today!

Hooray! Mummy finished her exam today, so ends Daddy's misery yet start of ours! Huh...for those who knows her well to know. Hahaha.

Daddy and mummy checked out our new house renovation today and gosh they were surprised to see how much it has progressed. They are already installing the lightings and carpentry work now.



We should be able to move in on schedule and that will be Saturday, 21 June 2008. According to Chinese customs, we need to prepare the following items for "Moving in":

1. Red Banner and a pair of lanterns
2. A traditional charcoal stove
3. Five treasures: Oil, Rice, Salt, Sugar and Dark/Red Vinegar
4. Five bamboo sticks tied with red ribbon on both ends

Daddy and Mummy pop by our new house this evening to place the payment cheque for the hardware shop as they will be delivering the sink, taps, basin, water heater and toilet accessories tomorrow. Upon reaching, they realised that the windows, grilles and the shower screen in the master toilet were already up.

Uncle Thomas also updated that the carpentry work will be up next week also. Daddy and Mummy will also be settling the lightings this weekend. Looks like the renovation should be done very soon.

My funny Daddy openly asked his friends and my Uncle for our house warming wish list, i.e. Vacum Cleaner, 37" LCD TV, 2 Standing Fans and 2 desk fans. Any takers? My Monster Jiu Jiu will be sponsoring the LCD TV, his colleagues also confirmed sponsoring the vacum cleaner, but...everyone contributing $15 each. Hahaha.

Busy, busy, busy! Mummy and Daddy have been so busy with the new house renovation. This week they have been coming back quite late, end up spend little time with us. But is ok because my por por is taking care of us. It is so fun with por por,she always bring us go downstair and meet up with her auntie friends. We enjoy running and jumping at void deck.

What is the status of renovation? Uncle Thomas told daddy that the kitchen and toilets tiles had overlaid. Currently painting the walls. That is fast. Hopefully another two more weeks all the carpentry work will be done, followed by the furniture, we will be ready to move into the new house. We wonder how will our room look like. Dun't expect pink pink room. Haha.

Yesterday morning, Daddy and Mummy went to meet our teachers. All the teachers gave very good feedback for us. Lao Shi said Meimei could learnt the chinese characters very fast. Her teacher in charge also said that she has been reminding her to tell mummy to wear her short with the pocket in front but she keeps forgetting and mentioned nothing. Hahaha.

As for Jiejie, usual too quiet in class said both her teachers, though there are occasional consolations when she still puts up her hands to volunteer her answers. Teacher also mentioned that she is very meticular in her work except need to booast her self-confidence.

In the afternoon, finally the day that we've all been waiting for........ODD (Open Door Day) for our new house, we brought a big pineapple to roll into the house before everybody went in. That was fun! Thank God! Not too bad, no major defects! Can start work immediately, and swiftly our contractor, Uncle Thomas summoned his technicians to start laying the wires for electric, telephone and tv points.


After all the discussion and making all the necessary adjustments and changes, the party proceeded to Kaki Bukit to select the tiles for kitchen and toilet flooring. We have to finalise all the colour scheme and designs by next Tuesday and to buy all the lightings and sink, basin and cooker hob on that day itself. That's stressful!!!!

Finally, finally, finally, Daddy & Mummy collected our new house keys today. They come with an impressive and stylish designed pouch. But we cannot go inside our new house yet because my Gong Gong says we can only open the door next Thursday and must first roll in a pineapple before we can go inside.....so interesting!

Also finally, finally, finally, Daddy sold our current house on Monday night after 3 rounds of visit by the buyer and his wife over the weekend. Meaning now we all can be as ease to wait to move in as soon as our new house's renovation is completed.

Our new house KCD (Key Collection Day) is 5 May 08, really looking forward to that day. Our ID that Uncle Thomas has submitted the renovation proposal to Daddy and Mummy. Mummy says he is a very funny and hardworking guy.
