All dressed up!

Finally! (again!) managed to whip out the camera and snap some shots of Marissa parading in her custom-made tutu & accessories by Tutu Workshop! I was very impressed with the fast customisation and delivery of the items! The items were so professionally done and no one could ever guess they were all made from scratch! Thanks again Joanne for organizing the contest and for the lovely prize! Will get my brother Wei-Chung to snap more photos with his DSLR since he's back from Germany after his graduation.

Speaking of Germany, Wei-Chung lugged back 2 big luggage bags of Porsche souveniors, Swatch watches, Sigg bottles, Pressure Cooker (requested by my mom.....), Lego toys and some books as well. Thank you!!!

Photobook Malaysia

Finally! Marissa's 1st birthday party photobook is ready! It took me less than 2 days to choose the pics & come up with the lay-out for this medium land-scape photobook. The application was very easy to use but actually the main reason that I was soooo fast was because 31st Aug was the last day for the 25% discount on all photobooks at Photobook Malaysia so I had to act fast.

The cost was RN177.60 for 40 pages and I upgraded to 'matte' pages which was just great. I received the book in just 5 business days!

Everything was good except for a small printing error on one of the pages and the funny cover color...... which was supposed to be 'light purple'.

All in all - a decent photobook and at a reasonable price.

Gymboree

We were at Gymboree Play & Music Bangsar Village for a few times already since beginning of August. I've signed them up for a year-long package ending August next year. The package consists of 12 Arts classes (for Evan), 32 Play or Music classes (Evan or Marissa - flexible), 10 Playgym vouchers, membership fees for 2 yrs, T-shirts for both of them & special RM150 off birthday party celebration at Gymboree.

The first time Evan attended Gymboree Play class was when I won a contest organized by Mother & Baby Malaysia Magazine in 2006. Evan won a free one month (4 weeks) Play class package. Since then, we've enrolled him in Play classes and Playgym on and off whenever time permits.

We've also registered Evan for his first Gymboree party - Halloween & Gymbo's Birthday joint celebration on 31st Oct. I've been informed that it's gonna be a BIG & GRAND event! Evan will need to dress up in a costume as well. So I guess it will either be a new one from Gymboree - or recycle his Owl costume. We will have to wait and see....

TJC Sports Day

Tadika Juara Cerdik organised its bi-annual SPORTS DAY on 22nd August 2009. I was requested by Evan's class teacher to prepare some finger food for the kids so I decided to prepare cheese sandwiches cut into flowers & 'Toodles' with the school's initials : TJC.

This was Evan's 2nd Sports Day. Here he is holding his class Jasmine's placard - leading his classmates who marched single file onto the school field ( SRJK(C) Yuk Chai).

Canopy tents were put up for the parents & kids. Great weather that day! Only a slight shower towards the end of the event.

Evan's event was : A Fish Tale. He was in RED team. He had to use a 'fishing rod' to hook a 'fish' from the tub and then walk on the balance beam to feed the 'shark' with the 'fish'.

Hurray! Gold Medal for my efforts!

Evan was very excited and he said he felt like Mulan who received a medal from the Emperor for her heroic deeds. He also thought he was like Special Agent Oso who received a 'Digi-medal' for completing his 'special assignment'!
