Birthday brunch at The White Rabbit - pictures intensive.

Instead of doing the usual, which is dinner, we decided to have brunch instead for my birthday. We figured out it would be easier for J cos of his bed time and also we didn't want couples out for a romantic time to throw us dirty looks when J starts "sharing" his excitement, ie. screams & yells. So we headed to The White Rabbit, a beautifully restored chapel in Dempsey to chill the Sunday afternoon away.the much talked about Mac & Cheese on the left and Benedict Eggs on the right. Both were yummylicios. No complaints about the food, it was really quite good but the service needs to be improved. There was this rotund waiter, who couldn't wait to snatch the menu from our hands, even though it was very obvious we were not done with it yet. tsk tsk..

this is a recent problem we have with J. He has started staring....in a pretty hostile way. Wx confessed one day that it could have been him who got J on this bad habit. There are times when J misbehaves, Wx will glare/stare at J, so he figured out that was where/how J picked it up and you know what's the funny thing. J has exactly the same look as his dad when he does this. No kidding.

and the little one has gotten more animated. see what he did when we asked him to pose for the camera.

and the little sweetie giving mummy a bouquet of flowers..

he was very careful with the flowers, watchful of his every little steps, lest he fell and crushed the flowers

getting a bit tired........

back home for the cake cutting in the evening...

look what fun he had with the cream

yummy yummy!

tada...J's creation.

playdate with aidan

Jarrett spent a Sunday afternoon playing with Aidan. See the two of them making attempts to "interact". I think the adults had more laughs thou...

backdated post: East Coast Park

For once we decided to be healthier and make a date with the kids at East Coast Park for some outdoor activities, like cycling, playing with sand etc..but alas..God had some other plans for us. We were only cycling for around 30mins before it started to rain. Needless to say, that put a stop to all activities we had in mind. With the kids, we made a dash to Waruku for dinner. Brenda had made reservation for a private room, so that the kids had space to roam about and play while the adults catch up and ate.

They say the way to a man's heart is through the stomach. Well, the way to a toddler's heart was biscuits. See the 2 kiddos so happy...I don't know about Mervin & Kayden, but Jarrett definitly takes after daddy.

putting on my shoes

J's showing more and more independence each day. He's already taking off his shoes by himself now, and is now trying to master the much more difficult skill of wearing his shoes.

trying to figure out which one goes where.

err....getting a little confused....

argh..........I need some help here!!!

Little J's growing journey

Out for brunch on a sunday with papa and mama

strolling with papa at the esplanade

I'm all grown up, dun need to hold my hand ok....

making use of my tools

I really couldn't wait for J to grow up, I had to start using the tools I bought, so tada...I made Japanese for lunch. I wanted to buy classic Jap bento boxes for us, the adults, but I just don't have the time to go shopping in Takashimaya or any of the Japanese department stores, so I could only make do and use a normal plate.
See top left hand corner...we had car shaped eggs! Made that with a really cool gadget which can mould eggs into shapes. There's many designs out in the market, like stars, hearts, bunnies, and even hello kitty. Also made some rice, shaped nicely with the rice moulds and unagi which is Wx's favourite. I also made some cold tofu and miso soup, but nothing special about that, so no pics..I jus want to show the car shaped eggs. hahaha...
