Cassie enjoyed the place so much that she walked around the pond, taking her time to look at the fountain, the koi, the mini waterfall, the flowers, insects and of-course the butterflies.
And of-course, G had a blast of time taking loads of
photos :0.
It was a wonderful day-trip.

The month of Sept is full of birthday for us. My dad's, my brother and mine b'day all falls in Sept. Most of the time, we just have 1 big celebration. This year we actually wanna plan for some sun and sand in the Rasa Sayang. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad for the last few weeks. We actually drove 1/2 way to Batu-Feringghi only to find out there's a 'landslide' near that area. So, we took the u-turn and jump into the E&O instead. (See Cassie dancing to the beat in this video)
Because of all the delay, we quickly ran down the car into the restaurant and totally forgot about my camera ! When thd jazz band came along, only then i remembered i left the camera in the car *darn*
It was a fun evening after all. Dad had fun singing with the band, cassie had fun dancing to the beat. Even with the pouring rain outside, the whole place is full of warmth and excitement :) We'll definitely do it again. Happy birthday Grandpa !

Moment # 1
It was rainy most of the evening last week and Cassie snuggle happily in her favorite blanket.
I teased Cassie and said : "Cass, borrow your blanket to daddy ok ?"
Of couse she came back with the answer "No, this is my blanket"
I tried again and said : "You have a nice blanket here but daddy don't have blanket .. borrow ok ?"
Here's Cassie replied : "Mom, you have blanket rite ?! "
*hmpt*
Moment # 2
It was school holiday yesterday and cassie was pretty relax when she knew she doesn't have to go to school. Later in the afternoon, she picked up her bag-pack and her water bottle just like how she does every morning ready for school.
I asked Cassie : "Cassie, what r u doing ? r u going to school ?"
Cassie replied said : "Yes, good morning teacher ! "
*kekeke, she misses her school after all ...

I went out for a 2 hr facial treatment and here's Cassie and G when i got home, both having an afternoon reading. how nice :)
- Monday, September 01, 2008
Cassie loves to read and she is now insisting on reading some of her books on her own. Her favourite last month was the 'billy goat gruff' and this month she's moving on the 'the gingerbread man'. The pre-school's books has a lot of repetition and i think that's good for her because she is able to pick up the phases very well.
// "Stop, little gingerbread man" said the old women " i want to eat you for my tea" //
When i read for her, i usually add in some expression and sound effects :) that's why you see her emphasize the word 'STOP' in the video :)

We walked pass the disney store and Cassie request me to take photo with ALL her playhouse Disney 'friends'.
I asked her to stand closer to 'mickey mouse' and she gladly did, by standing in-front of the poster. she looked so funny with the mickey ears :)

Cassie has been a curious little chick and wanted to participate in whatever we're doing rite now. That including eating the roti-canai with curry dips. I was getting ready her tumbler when she insist to try the curry, i've told her numerous times about the spicy food but she just want to have her own way.
OK, i decide to let her try. i thought to myself, she's gonna get it this time. She's gonna complaint the curry is hot and will not want to touch the curry next time.
Well, Cassie being Cassie, she never failed to amaze me ! Here she goes, taking pieces and pieces of roti-canai with those curry with it. She even licked her fingers and told me that they are very good.
Blimey, life is like a box of chocolate after all, and that's always true when it comes to Cassie.
I was preparing Cassie for bath and waiting for the water to fill the tub. While waiting, i then prepared the mob to clean the floor. Cassie saw what i was planning to do and insist that she wanted to clean the floor. That's why you see her in her 'untidy' attire in the video :)
While Cassie participating in the house chores, she didn't forget to entertain herself while she's doing the work :) turn up your volume to hear her sing :)
It's a great reminder : work hard, play hard. most importantly have fun and enjoy :)

It was a bright sunday morning and we were browsing through the 11 Olympic channels and stopped at the Rhythmic Gymnastics event. Just 2 minutes into the event, Cassie has a request.
舒蔚 : "我要大家拍手, 我要美丽跳舞衣!"
Cassie : "I want everyone to clap and i want the beautiful dancing dress ! ".
Yes dear, it's every girl's dream to wear beautiful dress and have the crowd admiration ! I can understand what you want and why you want it ;)
And off she goes, doing her dancing and gymnastics routine :) She followed all the moves that she saw from the TV, including the way they walked to the floor and their facial expression when they sat down waiting for their score after the routine.
Aside from being the gymnast, she has the swimmer event last week. I do not know how good a athletic she is, but what i know for sure dear, you are always the winner to me and here's a gold medal for being the best in the "daughter sports" event :)

It's school holiday again and our neighbour friends came to play. Since she started school, Cass is now more capable to share her toys and interactive play with the other kids.
Here she's actually throwing the ball up high, trying to slam-dunk. She did try like 100 times (for about an hr) and finally managed to get ONE basket. Ar, the smile on her face is priceless :)

Cassie is very particular when it comes to washing her hair. She doesn't like to wash her hair everyday and will scream when the water splashed her eyes.
We were watching the Olympic 2008 events and we managed to catch 'Michael Phelps' broke the record. I then took the oppurtunity to try 'brain wash' her by saying that the swimmer was so brave and he doesn't scream when the water splashed his face.
Cassie watched very carefully and very quickly, she pointed out the 'flaw' in my logic. "他有眼镜, 水没有进去眼睛. 我没有眼镜哦 !"
"He has goggles and water cannot splashed into his eyes. I don't have goggles ..."

All kids love visitors i guess, Cass is extremely 'hyper' when grandparents visit :)
It's actually very difficult to take photos for grandparents and children, i think Somehow both the grandma and grandchild seems to want to move in different direction and the photo usually came out 'not rite' :)
Luckily this time around, i managed to get 1 good photo :)

It was Friday and Cassie feeling restless at home. We met up with the neighbours gals and went for a fun at the playground. All gals have their pony tails flying high that afternoon :)

This is the newly introduced routine after Cassie starts school. Usually Cassie will complete all her work in school, but she missed 2 days of school last week and thus yesterday she came back with 'homework'. I checked her pervious work and found that she was able to follow through. Aside from the writing practice, she has the math and science session too, where they learn addition, comparison and nature. I guess that's a good sign.
You can see she's pretty serious when it comes to completing her work. She's a bit perfectionist like me, and sometimes i have to assure her that it's OK if her writing get out of the line a bit. It's like re-assure me that it's OK if things went off track a little bit :)

It has been 1 month since Cass started school. If you think you can sense how hungry Cass is in the photo, then you're absolutely right ! School overall, is a different routine for her. A lot of physical and mental effort required.
Just last week, she came back with her neatly tied pony tails flying all round her head, her shoes all dusty and she was all sweaty. I was surprised to even see her so 'untidy', and i asked her what happen. (My thoughts was that she must have caught in some kind of sandstorm)
She was in high spirit when she told me that they had a game of 'ball', she kick the ball, run and throw and etc with teachers and friends.
That's when i snapped this photo. Yes, she came back tired, hungry and dusty. But, nothing to compare her high spirit, rosy cheeks and excitement that she had experienced :)

yes dear, we can never have enough shoes.
Cass loved the red color ones because she thinks it's the cinderella slipper. I told her the slippers are too big for her and she was actually quite disappointed. However, she did get those shoes for me and asked me to try them on. Right after i tried it on, she will tell me the shoes are too big for me too :) OK Cass, we'll hunt for one that both of us can wear, deal ? :)

While we were at the sushi restaurant, the TV display on our table was actually turned off. Cass looked around and see that everyone else has the TV on, and she told me that '我没有TV, wor" (she don't have TV). kekeke
She just loves the sushi rolls. She can finish the whole plate by herself, 1/2 of the ramen, and end it with the mandarin orange Jelly. Sometimes, she even point out the customer on the next table and say she wanted to try the food they are having. :)

Cute picture of well-behaved Cass yeah ? well, it's actually difficult to have Cass sit down still like this, most of the time, Cass is actually very mischievous...
Monkey business one.
I left Cass her breakfast in the morning and walked downstairs to do the laundry. Before I walked downstairs, I told her to finish up her breakfast.
When I was doing the laundry, I heard the toilet flushed a couple of times. I went upstairs and saw Cass throw her chewed breakfast into the toilet. She even flushed the toilet to make sure there's no 'evidence' ! I caught her red-handed and she gave me her 'nothing happen' smile.
Monkey business two.
Before we brought her to her usual bike ride yesterday evening, I told her to finish up her mineral water before we go outside. She said ‘OK’ and start drinking from the cup.
G and I sat in front of the TV waiting for her to finish her drink. A couple of minutes later, when she thought we were not looking, she took another cup from the kitchen and pour ½ of her drink into the new cup. Then she walked over and showed me her half empty glass. *Gosh* !!
Needless to say, she got some serious lecture hours from me that day. Can't help but wondering where she got all these ideas. I guess kids will always be kids anyhow.

This is Cass's 2nd week in school. Overall i think she's doing quite well, she has some friends in her own class and also some friend whom are 5 & 6 yrs old. They will shout her name and tell her to the door when we were there to pick her up after school.
There's a slight change to her schedule and she sleep a little bit late now. Other than that, she seems to grow a little bit more. Just the other day, she was doing some drawing and then she saw my walked by. She stopped me and said, 'mommy, let me show you, let me show you'. Then she start drawing away with mumbling description. I think she's imitating her teacher. Oh, speaking of teacher, she can't seems to pronounce the 'T' and thus she refer her as 'Peach-er' :)
Yes dear, it's every girl's dream to wear beautiful dress and have the crowd admiration ! I can understand what you want and why you want it ;)
