The KLKK Lion's Walk

Nikki was selected by her teacher to perform the Lion's dance in school. She was extremely excited about it. She tried so hard to sleep extremely early last night and woke up earlier than ever this morning, all ready to put up a good performance.


She put up such a wonderful performance that daddy believed that no one in Singapore had ever done it before.....Daddy named her performance "The KLKK Lion's walk". A very relaxing monster got nothing to do but walk left walk right...yes literally walking. Sigh...Daddy tried so many times but just cant get the video uploaded still.



Having said that, Nikki have another recent fun question, whenever she's with daddy or mummy, she loves to ask: "Am I in the right family?". Not sure she's been reading too much, but she thought it's very funny!

Lion Dance & Fireworks

Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, we had reunion dinner again, this time with Ta Gugu's family and Shushu. We had our dinner at the SKW Lunar New Year Dinner event held at AVCC.

This year the event highlights are the lion dance performance and fireworks. Nikki and Noinoi were not really prepared for that.

Nikki never expected the fireworks will have such deafening loud bangs when watching it live. Perhaps because, we have been watching the soft sounded NDP firework display from a distance from our house window for the past few years.

Though Noinoi beening telling us that she has been practicing her Lion dance in her school, she even complained because we dun have the lion dance puppet at home, that she could not do her practice. But she too never expected the real Lion dance is so noisy and fierce looking!

Pleasant surprise!

Nikki gave daddy and mummy some pleasant surprises when they came back from work this evening. First, she left a note saying: "I don't no (know) want (what) page is Yamaha homework page." Guessed where she left the note for them? in their room's toilet!

On their writing table, she left another note that says: " Welcome....and....kids.....??? ????" Japanese characters? Ah Zhen Yiyi can you help to translate that?

Happy Birthday & Chinese New Year

Nikki is smiling from cheek to cheek today, Daddy even caught her smiling to herself more than once in the car and on the bed. She is happy that all her birthday wishes has been granted. Daddy and mummy gave her long awaited remote control car and Papa and Mama also gave her the remote control helicopter.

Today is also CNY eve, mummy bought us a very cute printed bedsheet, it is printed with two girls, one with 2 long plaited hair sitting on the tree branch that looks like Nikki and the other shoulder lenght hair sitting on the swing looks like Noinoi. In the afternoon, Daddy also helped to put up the CNY decorations made by Nikki & Noinoi at home.

During our reunion dinners, mummy bought a Winx Club birthday cake for Nikki at porpor house. At our Granny house, our pretty Gugu bought her a Swensen strawberry ice-cream cake and 4 slices of Starbucks chocolate cake. Even Zhen Yiyi and Uncle Darren also rushed over to our Granny house to join in the birthday celebration. Nikki is so blessed to have so many beloved Uncles and Aunties. Before she sleeps, Daddy reminded her that she must be thankful for all her blessings.

The Big Day

Yesterday was Uncle Darren and Ah Zhen Yiyi's big day, Noinoi & Mummy attended the Solemnization Ceremony in the morning. Daddy and Nikki could not be there as Daddy has an prior community event to attend and Nikki needs to attend Chinese class.

In the late afternoon, we went separate ways with Mummy, as she has gone to mama's house for their make up and hair styling session. We headed straight for the final wedding rehearsal after fetching Adam.

Upon reaching the club, mummy and the rest happened to reach there about the same time. Nikki simply couldn't accept Mummy's new look and kept asking her not to "paint" her face and eyes again. She still prefers Mummy's usual look. She even told Hazline jiejie that she doesn't want to put on cosmetics when she grow up. (But......)

After reaching Ah Zhen Yiyi's bridal suite, the makeup artists were busying helping Yiyi to style her hair. Mummy asked if they could help to style for Nikki and Noinoi also. They are so friendly and helpful that they readily agreed.....

(Little did we know.......that they are the renowned celebrity makeup artists for many international celebrities......) Mummy only realised today after seeing their photos on D.Gan's blog)

They even offer to tap some light makeup for Nikki (Thought she just told Hazline jiejie that she will NEVER wear makeup? Traits of a woman....fickle minded....sigh - Oops that was Daddy! Hazline Jiejie secretly laughing at the side also) Poor Noinoi was so shy that she refused to let the renowned artist to put on anything on her face except her hair.

Mummy regretted for not having us to take a photo with them as we were rushing down for the rehearsal then. Nevertheless....Thank you! Makeup Korkors, of course not forgetting our beloved Ah Zhen Yiyi and Uncle Darren for the wonderful party!

Our First Swimming Lesson

We had our first swimming lesson today, our coach is Uncle KH...., he's a nice and funny guy! Both Nikki & Noinoi enjoyed so much that they say that the 1 hour session is not enough. They are definitely looking forward for next week's lesson.

Noinoi did her own full dress fitting session for Zhen Yiyi's wedding yesterday. She likes the crystal hairband that mummy bought from Bangkok.

Mummy is finally feeling the stress of our schoolwork...Nikki is starting to have Chinese and English spelling tests. She hardly have time to practise on the piano this week. Daddy was just running through our schedules with Gugu last week, we have lessons almost everyday. Gugu is even persuading Daddy & Mummy to let us learn violin. Daddy & Mummy are starting to wonder if they are having too much activities on our routine.......think we all really need a break from all these!

Daddy's Honey Pots

Daddy says that Nikki and Noinoi are his honey pots...... Why? Daddy & Mummy are leaving for Bangkok tomorrow, Nikki was so sweet to draw a card for them wishing a nice holiday. As for Noinoi, she's been crying all night asking Daddy and Mummy to come back quickly. Their wish list are a princess crown for Nikki & a princess dress for Noinoi.

Happy New Year 2010

Nikki & Noinoi wishes all Blessed New Year 2010!

On the second day of 2010, Noinoi's ambition is to be a housewife when she grows up so that she can help mummy with the housework. She was wearing the pair of high heel shoes that Yeye bought her and bleaming all the way when she said that to Daddy.

4 parties in a row

We started our first party in the early morning of Christmas eve at Daddy's office. During one of the game, we cooked "turkey" literary by lining up the different parts of the recipe. In the second game, Nikki paired up with Daddy in the Pictionary challenge. The last game was the best, Nikki got to play the role of an angel while our toy baby "Coconut" played the role as baby Jesus!

Our second party was yesterday's Annual Shi's Gathering at our cousin's new house. They booked the BBQ pit but no bbq fire nor smell because all the food are pre-cooked. There were so much food and drink until they have to give away some as there's no way we could finish all.

Today is the day that we have our annual party. this year Uncle Darren & Ah Zhen Yiyi helped us to book the function room at their house. Like last year, most of our friends and their parents were there. (Thank you for coming....from Daddy & Gugu). Haha, nothing deters us from dipping into the waters even Mummy and Daddy didn't bring our swimming costumes. We went into the swimming pool with just t-shirts and undergarments.

Next, we are looking forward to our friend's birthday party tomorrow, mummy told us that the party will be held in one of the shopping mall and it would be a dance party!

Finally, we get to unwrap our Christmas presents for this year...lots of chocolates, yummy goodies and our favourite gift of all.....TOYS!!!! Of course, our favourite will be Daddy's & Mummy Fairyland toys and not to forget a big thank you to all the uncles & aunties!

Nikki Lookalike

Which is Nikki?

Noinoi asked why all Jiejie's photos, how about mine?

Virtual Sports Day

It was another eventful week for our family, definitely never miss the long awaited 3 years once Penguin Book Sales. This year, we harvested 65 books for about $250, Mum averaged out that the cost is only about $4 per book. The deal was so good that we went back to the sales again on Saturday, this time with Zhen Yiyi and Uncle Darren.

After lunch, we went back to Zhen Yiyi house to create our virtual selves on the WII machine, getting ready for our First (Virtual) Sports Day. Nikki created herself with shoulder length hair and blue dress while Noinoi created herself with 2 ponytails and yellow dress. We also create Daddy with spikey hair and even a goatee on his chin. We challenged each other through golf, bowling and even boxing. Eventually Nikki is the winner for the golf game and Noinoi won the bowling game. But one important lesson we learnt is that there must be a winner and a loser in any game, otherwise there is no game! No one is perfect, most importantly, everyone must put in their best effort in whatever they do! Study hard, Work smart & Play hard!

In the evening, Daddy said that he saw two children at the Children Home Thanksgiving concert last night. They are about the same age as us. One who is very focused on her performance, making sure that she diligently delivers every requirements on her part. So much so that when another younger boy standing next to her did one action slower and accidently knocked onto her, she literally pushed him away! Another child was very relaxed on stage and occasionally giving a cheeky smile to the audience. Daddy felt sad for they have to be put up in the children home at this young age for no fault of their own. Uncle Darren also agrees that children like us are blessed.

Thank God for a beautiful day

As we were walking towards the swimming pool, Nikki said: "Thank you God for not raining today so that we can swim!" It has been raining non-stop for the past few days, unlike today, it's indeed a beautiful day!

After church, we went to Ah Zhen Yiyi and Uncle Darren house as they are having housewarming today. We went to their house for swim and we even tried baking cookies with the help from Eileen Yiyi.

Noinoi was especially attentive during the baking process, she stood so close until Eileen Yiyi almost kept knocking into her.

Though the final product according to one of the seasoned baker there wasn't fully cooked but there are also compliments saying that it tasted like "Subway" cookie. To us, whether cooked or raw, Eileen Yiyi's effort has cultured the lovely taste of homemade cookies.

We're looking forward to our next try baking butter cake after the oven is repaired. Hehe, the secret is Yiyi's house oven short circuit and tripped the whole house power supply during the oven pre-heat and thank God, her neighbour was kind enough to let us use their oven : )

Mum's Proudest Moment

Nikki surprised mummy with her superb confidence this morning! She was performing for her school a mandarin nursery rhymes according to mummy, Nikki was not only fluent in her delivery and best of all not a single butterfly in the stomach! Mummy was so proud of her that she called Daddy almost immediately after the performance, telling him what he has missed!

Noinoi said she also has a performance item today. Unfortunately, mummy also missed it. We wonder why didn't the school inform Daddy and mummy about the performance today.

New Room New Assignment

Ah Zhen Yiyi and Uncle Darren finally moved into their new apartment last week. They even got a guest room prepared for us and best we get to choose our new bedsheets for the room. In the kitchen, there is also an oven which we are inspired to try baking some cookies, brownies and cakes this coming holiday!

Mummy said Yiyi is also bringing us to get our dresses and Adam's tuxedo this weekend. Guessed it's almost confirmed that we'll be their flower gals and Adam and Ray will be the page boys for their wedding. Hooray!!! Think we should start our slimming diet with mummy soon? Shhhh... dun ever let Yeye hear this.

We just came back from Ngee Ann City to support our Shushu in the Subaru Challenge. It was raining cats and dogs out there. We prayed for God's protection, strength for Shushu and good weather.

On our way back, we dropped by at the Asian Civilisation Museum for the Halloween event. It's spooky fun. The entire museum was tranformed like a haunted mansion!

Trademarks

We were trying to impersonate each other the other day. It was really not easy to find each others' trademark. Eventually, we came up with the following, perhaps you want to make a guess who's who?

Clue No 1
"Daddy, my brain tells me that my eyes are so tired already, can we go home and sleep?"

Clue No 2
"Daddy said:"Wake up sweetie, wake up, the horse thieves are coming! wake up quick!"

This morning, mummy asked Noinoi to check the shoe rack if there are any dirty socks to be washed, and she came up with another classic. "Mummy! Mummy! P.....L...'s (Daddy's full name) dirty smelly socks coming!"

Notti Noinoi wants to blog too!

The Girlie Thing

We finally did it! Our first lifelong girlie thing is to have our ears pierced. We can't help getting kinda nervous because we really didn't know what to expect having a pair of earrings struck to our ears for the next 6 weeks. Believe it or not, anxiety was written all over our faces. Nevertheless, we get to choose our first pair of earrings, Nikki got her fave blue "blink" and Noinoi got the pink "blink". Mum said the $$$ (you guessed it? yes, it's a three digit x 2 persons, quite an investment having us girls, no worries we'll try to share our wardrobe and accessories with each other! 8P) will be well spent for quality service and genuine material. For us, as long as the process is painless and indeed, we didn't shed a single drop of tears. Bravo!!!

Speaking of investment, daddy finally paid off his "overdues" for mummy's birthday present. He brought mum to the concert 2 weekends ago. Mummy thought that the $$$ wasn't spent to it's worth because 60% of the concert was delivered in Cantonese which she couldn't understand a single word!!!! She would rather invest the $$$ to her bags collection!
