Last visit to legoland

A year, it's been a yr we have the legoland annual pass n it's ending soon so tdy we made a final trip, a real closure for the kids as a lot of memories of this park as this is our 10th visit! Well a dark gloomy weather starts our trip there tdy, could see the contrast of pics we took when we arrived there n when we left. Well just glad we made it for all the rides the kids wanted to take for the final final time. 

Well tdy Ian tried for the 1st time the driving Sch which a yr ago, he was still below 6yo so he went for the junior one n tdy he went for the one that gives a 'license'. Big deal huh but he really treasures the 'license'. And his fav ride is x-treme. It's a really scary ride as it plunges down real fast at a point but the boys loved it! Glad it's the final one else we gotta keep going there for every visit. 

Well well this is the place that the kids really show us how daring rides they can take n how insistent they will request to keep taking the rides. The annual pass serves us really well n guess we know all the rides really well. It seems so fast that the yr has just went past n guess its time to explore other stuff n wonder when we will b back again 

Today is Ian's graduation day!

It has been a highly anticipated day for Ian. He had hoped this day would come soon. Yest he had full dress rehearsal n mama tagged along as PV n was a Gd chance to capture the shots of Ian in the graduation gown with his friends too. What a pride to see the boy in the gown, the boy has grown up so fast!

We have always enjoyed going for the Sch concert for the past 2 yrs as its always a display of various classes performances. This yr was a little different coz just couple of wks back, daddy agreed to give the parents speech n just last wk Ian was asked to give intro to his class item. What an experience having to do up the script for the speech for daddy n to practice the intro with Ian. It's kindof 'stressful' haha but in return we got VIP seats for the concert. Yes, just beside the chairman, principal n the board of mgmt. hmm another stress came as not sure if Joann would b Gd w such front seats. Good viewing but yet a lot of space for her to move.

Just glad it went on v well as both the speeches were ok n Joann din 'roam' as much n din make as much noise as feared. It was Gd time celebrating the boy's graduation n guess we will miss it for a yr b4 the girl starts Kindy life! Also wanna thank dayi for agreeing to come w us n indeed it was a boost for the boy as he could spot us on stage n was waving to us at various pts of performances coz this was the only yr we knew exactly where we would b sitting n so we told him. N yes, he's most glad to receive the graduation forever friends bear fm dayi! Entering another phase of life soon....

Ian is 6 yrs n 7 mths old

Another mth has passed n the past mth was filled mostly w mei2's bday celeb stuff as the boy looked fwd to the party at the chalet. We did go JB prior to the chalet to get some party stuff.

Yes, lanterns for the lantern fest to start off the chalet as both carried ard lantern in the mood for mid autumn. Then was the bday celeb when the brother followed wherever the sister took pic. Well lots of pics w them together. Kindof 'protective' brother but glad both have the fun n respect for each other. 

Then was the children's day which Ian has so looked fwd too. Yes, he knows on this day he can get a lot of gifts n he did get a lot of stationery fm his Sch n teachers. His fav is this pair of boy n girl sharpeners which he brings ard w him. Sigh just glad children's day is once a yr only. 

This coming mth would hv his graduation concert which he is so excited about n yes, he would b graduating fm the Sch soon. A lot of apprehension abt this next phase which is coming up hmmm

Our 2nd concert by the park

The 1st concert we watched at botanical gardens was some 2 yrs back at the okto a minute of fame n could still rem quite clearly as mama was v preggy n Ian was v tempted by pple's food ard us.

Tdy, we attended the opening ceremony of the international acapella festival n this is the 1st ever w Joann! Yes, we packed enough food n drink this time round n were glad we reached early as we got the last car park lot nearest to the shaw amphitheater. We found a Gd spot n started our subway sandwich dinner w chicken pie fm polar. A Gd experience of various acapella grp n we even saw a grp of kids grp. Well nice way to hv dinner too tho we were surrounded by folks who brought wine to accompany the music. 

Staying over together!

Ian has started staying at po2's pl since he was 14 mths old but Joann haven't got this chance. Just some wks back, she did stay alone coz we din want her to catch the virus Ian was having back at home.

Yesterday, Ian was asking Joann to stay over as he was staying since tdy there is no Sch coz of children's day. His tactic was to ask Joann to choose yakult (ie stay over at po2's pl) or go home (ie no yakult). The girl was alittle confused as evening time was always going home time n there were several times we went home wo Ian. N she has often been going home w yakult in hand. So she din understand why yakult n can't go home. When asked to stay, she kept saying no but yet she reached for the yakult. N she was so afraid mummy would go home wo her, she quickly put on her shoes. Even resisted when asked by her bro to stay. It looked like she was going home w mummy. But when out at the gate, she turned back to her bro to wave final goodbye, she suddenly turned back in n went in waving bye to mummy who was out at the gate. It was just the split second she changed her mind, it's just so sudden n really wonder what made her decide to stay on.

Well she did stay for a party time! Sigh she only slept at 11pm, playing w all sorts of stuff in room while po2 n Ian were sleeping away. She woke up in middle of nite crying but soon appeased by po2's voice n woke up at 7am. So insufficient of rest. Sigh guess its the staying over syndrome huh. Wonder how many more such stayovers n insufficient sleep!
