Camera + Playground + Garden = Lotsa Photos

finally, feeling relaxed and relieved this weekend… after a working for a whole 8 years, i finally quit my job! yup, that means i’m jobless but will be running a few errands before hitting the workforce again…

and errr… oh ya, finally feeling relaxed and relieved, and brought the kids down for a little fun under the sun…  brought along melody’s walker so she wouldn’t be left out while the older kids run and jump…

 

 

 

gosh, their pose reminded me of someone really irritating… :P

 

one fine day, when melody runs and jumps, she will run faster and jump higher than megan and valerie… at least i think thats what she is thinking now when she sees megan and valerie…

 

after a hectic run and jump session, we slow down the pace and took a little walk at the little garden… where plots of land is rented out for residents to farm… i think the farmville craze has hit bukit panjang!

 

 

 

 

 

its great taking the pace down a little…

Melody’s First B’day Celebration

and, its melody’s first birthday… we’ve booked a chalet at the chevron to celebrate her first birthday with our family members… it isn’t an easy 365 days for both melody and us… but we’re happy being able to manage so far… after all, the effort are well paid off with a cutie like melody…

the chevron chalet is really a great catch with a really huge double storey chalet, BBQ pit, swimming pool and many other facilities… all at an affordable price and whats best, its at the west side… no longer the need to travel to the east for chalets… :P

megan had fun ‘exploring’ the chalet…

 

 

next up, we hit the pool… that will also be melody’s first ever dip…

 

 

megan absolutely has not problem on the pool, in fact, she almost ventured onto the deep pool when we’re not watching… ( – . – |||)

 

melody is a little reserve at first when she hit the waters… she’s a little cautious splashing the water and moving around…

 

but in only a short while… all rule break loose for melody… no fear…

 

 

in fact, i think the fear is instill mainly on us… we’re so afraid of her toppling on her little float…

 

 

and megan… no problem at all! after all, as she always says “i’m not a baby, I’m 3 years old already!”

 

another almost topple stunt by melody when we’re trying to snap a shot of her…

 

 

 

but whats most important… the kids are having lotsa fun… this is the family moments that i’ve been missing for so long…

 

 

after a long tiring swim, we slowed down the pace by placing the kids at the kid’s play room where they can roam freely on the carpeted floor and the toys around… and also, while waiting for the burning event… BBQ!

 

and finally, melody’s first birthday cake… and melody’s ‘best friend’ hello kitty came to celebrate!

 

and its a really huge and thick 2kg cake for 14 of us…

 

the birthday girl with her first birthday cake… when we showed megan this photo, megan exclaimed ‘melody didn’t fall from the table!’… oh ya, where’s megan? she’s fast asleep upstairs, totally knocked out from the tiring day… she missed melody’s first birthday celebration!

 

here’s some photos to share!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as you can see, melody is getting cranky as the photo shoot goes on… time to light up her first candle!

 

 

happy first birthday my dear melody…
