i drew a heart

And so he did... on one of his Daddy's phone apps.

jive talkin'

He cannot help himself each time he hears a groovy tune.



thomas extension

He received more Thomas The Tank Engine toys this Christmas:

The Gold Mine Mountain & Misty Island Adventure.

So Mummy had to rearrange his existing train network

to accommodate the extension.

2011 christmas party

This year's Christmas party is held at our home

and the weather's warmest in a month!

2011 christmas morning

The boy had a great time opening up all his pressies!

The first he opened was this from the Baric's.

And this is from Mummy & Daddy.

opens 1 present on christmas eve

He's been very patiently waiting for Christmas

so his reward is to open a present tonight!

can i open present please?

When he smiles so sweetly and asks so politely,

how can we refuse?

carols cancelled

The weather was bad today but we thought

we'd still give the Christmas Carols at Bluetongue Stadium a go.

And no rain would stop these 3 from ahving a great time!

These Disney characters' performance was the last performance

before the rain poured buckets and forced everyone to run for shelter.

steamboat

We have the Baric's over for an unorthodox pre-Christmas steamboat lunch.

mii

This is Hugh's current Mii :)

Here is Hugh winning a trophy using his very own Mii!

victory dance

Here he is happy that he's won one of the four races in the Grand Prix.

And here he is... thrilled about winning a trophy!

(Told you he was competitive!)

more soup please

This is a popular meal in Singapore and is taken at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Thanks to Magic Asian Mart which opened less than 2 weeks ago,

Mummy managed to get the ingredients to make

Bak Kut Teh (Hokkien word translated to Pork Ribs Tea)

Hugh is very Asian in the sense that he loves clear soups and this is no exception.

Infact, he loves the soup much more than the meat :)

nail polish accident

Hugh stepped on Mummy's freshly painted toe nails and got this mark!

Then he wouldn't stop asking for it to be removed.

"Don't want this brown yucky!"

"Please take it off!"

And so Mummy did; just to shut him up!



some more boogieing

... to a few MTV music videos.

no time for clothes

...  cause I need to win the race!

why the angry face?

No idea why he was upset.

he knows which one is his present

Well, he knows just the one because we wrapped it together :)

2nd train ride at myer

This is already our second Christmas in Australia!

So we're making it a tradition to do the Myer train ride.

Funny things was the lady at the gate asked for a height measure for Hugh.

It didn't matter that I told her he had done this ride last year.

So when he was measured,

Hugh was way above the minimum height requirement!

christmas tree in darling harbour

After sending Ah-ma off at the airport,

we went to Darling Harbour and saw this tree.

feeding gulls at darling harbour

We brought our stale bread to feed the hungry gulls

and it was quite a sight!

mummy spying on hugh

Mummy secretly filmed this video of the boy playing on his own.

Dressed like an Olympics gymnast :)



our 2011 christmas tree

Our 2011 Christmas tree is up

but we are using decorations from last year.

Currently, everyone's present is under the tree except Rivers'

 

Mummy made this hamper for the Barics.
