Noddy & Sesame Street Show

View from 2nd Level

So tired that we sat on the floor while queuing.

Brought Celest to watch the Noddy show @ Forum yesterday. The show started 1pm and we were still at home at 12.50pm as Celest was having her nap. Haha... Managed to flag a cab fast BUT the driver was driving vvvvvv slowly as he just picked up a call while driving off. I was like hmm, i was rushing for time and there you are, talking on the phone and driving slowly. As soon as he hung up, I told him to drive faster as i was rushing for time. He did drive slightly faster but slowed down in the end. There wasn't much traffic yet he drove slowly. By the way, when I mean slow, I really mean very slow.

By the time we arrived, the show was in progress. I brought Celest to the 2nd level to watch as the platform level was crowded. On the whole. the show was nice and lively. It captured Celest's attention wholly. After the show finished, I went to look for Yen Ni & Xander and met Celest's GUG classmate Stella. Stella's mummy said that it was their 2nd time there as Stella loves Noddy very much.

Saw a lady started to queue up for the Meet & Greet session already and we followed suit. As Yen Ni was queuing, I fed Celest's her lunch- cereal. Wanted to feed her at MacDonald's but it was very crowded as the show just ended. We ended up sitting on the floor at one corner and fed her there.

It was not really a good day for me. Celest poo poo and I went around, searching for a diaper change room. Managed to find one in the toilet but it was the plastic, wall-mounted type which Celest dislike it. She was wailing during the diaper changing and I had to be firm with her by scolding her as well as rewarding her with biscuits when she behaved better.. Haiz.

After feeding Celest, I bought a chicken burger for my lunch. Been busy & rushing etc, finally got a chance to relax a little. We were given the Photopass @ 2.30pm and soon led into an area to sit down. We are Family no. 2. Finally Noddy, together with other characters, came out and when we walked up the stage for phototaking, Celest started crying and shunned away from the characters. She must be overwhelmed by their 'big sizes' as well as moving around. The emcee asked us to come back again later. Same thing happened to Xander as well. We waited till all 40 families had their photos taken before we made our 2nd attempt. I asked the emcee to get the 3 character to stay still so that Celest would not notice them, something like a backdrop. This time yielded better results and managed to take some pics ( not perfect lah of course, better than nothing after queuing for so long) Haha.

Our next show was the Sesame Street at Takashimaya, 4pm and we met up with Dal and Fi. Managed to secure a quiet corner to stand and it was tiring to carry her for so long. The music/volume was quite loud though since we were standing close to the speakers. Hopefully, Celest won't suffer any ear drum damage. The show was rather lengthy, about 40mins. Celest was excited when Elmo and Cookie Monster appeared and they definitely attracted Celest's attention.

Actually, she does not have any favourite character as mummy have not introduced. Haha... A pity that we didn't manage to get photography chance with them. Hmm, maybe can go again. Haha. Don't think daddy is going to entertain this. After the show, we went to a cafe for a drink as well as feeding milk to all four toddlers. Thankfully, Celest was cooperative and she slept for about 40 mins after her milk intake.

Daddy joined us after his course and we had our dinner at Ichiban Boshi, Wisma Atria. Think I still prefer Waraku. :P

Getting More Agile

Punishment! Pull Your Ear


Loves Playing With My Camera



Opening Ceremony! Just started her on arts and craft at home. See how she held the pen. Always got angry when I tried to correct her. Anyway, just learned that we shouldn't correct her at this point. Give her free rein..

Last time (not that long ago actually, maybe about 1 month back?) when playing the "Your Baby Can Read" VCD, Celest would sit still on the sofa and watched the show, allowing me to do my chores. Nowadays, you can find her running about ON the sofa. Never failed to give me a scare whenever I saw her standing close to the edge. I even contemplated of removing the sofa and all to sit on the floor! Hahaha

By now, she knew how to operate the music player which is placed on my bedside table. I would usually play some soothing music when she sleeps. There was once when she accidentally pressed the 'play' button and music came out. Since then, she knew how to operate it and she would fiddle with the player everyday before being chased out of the room by me.

Busy Buddies Trial on 24th Nov

Xmas!

We went for the trial together with Duffybuff, CutieZ and Paula. I was abit late as Celest was sleeping till we left the house. It was not good for Celest to be late as she missed out on the freeplay time which enable her to have the time to settle down and warm up to her surroundings. It was there and I knew that the class was a Busy Bods class, meant for 18mths onwards. Haha.

Celest was rather quiet that day and kept close to me. It took her some time before she ventured out to play with other toys. Then came Tidy Up Time. She managed to keep one to two items successfully. Her 'keep' means that she threw the toys into the box with gusto.

During the greeting time, teacher handed Celest a piece of card, with her name stated, and asked her to paste it on the board. She refused initially to get the card from teacher and I have to take on her behalf. She then walked over and pasted it on the board. Not bad!

Throughout the class, she roamed quite abit and kept going to the 'sink' to fiddle with the knobs. For the art & crafts, they had to draw their 'handshape' and did the no. 5 . Couldn't managed to get Celest to place her hands on the paper for me to draw. As usual, she didn't really like arts sessions. For the no. 5 work, I had to help her to complete the work.

The teachers took out storybooks for them to read on their own leisurely while they prepared the snacks. Celest loves the 'cereals' prepared by the teacher that she finished her second helpings. But, she didn't touch the apricots. It's back to more books time, followed by bubbles and time to say Bye Bye. On the whole, I didn't really enjoy it as I felt it was messy and abit rush. Maybe I am too used to the JG & GUG style.

After the class, Paula drove me to Takashimaya as they were going to do some shopping. Abit paiseh that I took the front passenger seat as Paula said that she needed to sit behind with Kelly. As usual, Celest was fiddling around and grabbed two spectacles even at one time! We went to the Food Republic @ Wisma for a break and ordered 'Cheng Teng' dessert since I was tired and thirsty. Don't think that I could have a proper meal before my help arrives.

We parted ways at Takashimaya, Nursery room. Brought Celest around to look at the toys and looking out for pokemon cards which I promised to buy for Ryan as his birthday present. My help finally arrived. What a relief. Managed to make Celest sleep and we went to the foodcourt to have my lunch at 4pm+.

We then walked to John Little as I wanted to buy some Crayola stuff on sale. Followed by Centrepoint Robinson. Saw the FP Kitchen set that was on promotion but daddy said don't buy now. :( I left her with sis to play with some toys at an area while I went looking around. Halfway, Strawberry Shortcake appeared. Haha. I quickly brought Celest over so that Mummy could have a good excuse to take picture. Celest was afraid and started crying, maybe due to the character's size.

Hahaha/ What a Big Hat! Ops, Mummy you close your eyes!

While walking to Plaza Singapura for our dinner, Joanne asked me to go shopping with her at G2000 for her birthday present. Guess where? Yes, it's Plaza Singapura as well. Fed Celest the tofu, 'bai cai' etc from my Yong Tau Hu bowl for her dinner as mummy didn't bring her's out. While at the G2000 fitting room with 'YIYI', she kept picking up those dirts to eat from the carpet floor. Haiz! Was sooo tired by the time we got back home. :P
