Nat's Birthday.. yes and it was my second 2-tier chocolate mousse cake :) and with transformers white fondant logo..haha! spend hours just doing that whew..fortunately only once a year.
Dad's Titlelist Golf Ball Cake..epic failure..the icing started melting thus, the words looked like titoist..haha!


Kim's Birthday cake...see my kids just love the chocolate mousse cake..haha better still when it is 2-tiered cos' there's more to eat haha. This time round its quite interesting cos' her primary school friends attended only and they stayed till evening. Awesome friends she had. It has become an annual gathering of sorts haha. And here are her friends...

Then there was Mama Big's Birthday..we bought cupcakes as we had it in the Eagle's View Room at Seletar Country Club.. together with Gong Gong's Big's Birthday
And last of the April/May Birthdays was Gong Gong small's 82nd Birthday with all the grandchildren

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY NAT!!!

Time really flies and our youngest one is now 5. Whew! 20 more years to go...haha! But he's the cheeky, intelligent and most fun one. Also always there to sayang anyone and cheer anyone.

Well as requested he wanted his transformer cake.After much negotiation from the optimus prime robot mommy..standing up..to lying down can to haha! autobod logo can?? Still not pro enough to do all that fondant work. looks like time to watch bake king and learn a thing or 2 from G at Kitchencapers.

Anyway, bought for him transformer cake at school from Bengawan Solo and he had his celebration. Also my masterpiece for the one at home.This one from Bengawan Solo and next my 2-tier chocolate mousse cake.

So he gets his perks for being the youngest.. just see how much he has grown through the years..

God bless you little man with wisdom and lots of love to go around.

Dad's early stage of Alzheimer

Went to Dad's doc at TTSH last week to get results of his deeper psychological test and found that my dad diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer. It worried my mom.

Dad was already losing his memory..like ask him what he did 5 minutes ago and he could not remember. Freaking us out. Anyway, doc's advice is to keep him active, and as he likes computer games to let him play solitare and let him do the usual things that he does including buying newspaper from downstairs and coming over our place.

Mom was stressed. Poor thing! She was really worried for my dad and every instance keep watch over him. While we try to let mom know that she needs to let go, guess its very hard as she has been constantly looking after him. This could be the cause why she fell ill after that.

Lynne bought a PC for dad in IT Show. Dad is on some sample drugs to slow down his deterioration of his brain cells. I just hope to be able to spend more time with him and so that he would remember all of us including his grandkids.

Dad is one of the most unassuming person i know. Never did he scolded us. We always confided in him as he was the broad minded one. He kept everything to himself. He also never spent a penny on himself such that we had to buy his new year shirts and wallet during christmas. All he ever bought was his underwear, singlet and socks. The rest went to our education and household. With a miserable pay of $1k+ as a clerk and later senior clerk. we had a house, a car and part-time maids and sent me to university with it.

He was selfless.

It really pains me to think that one day, my dad may not recognise me. I will just shower him with our love during this period of time.

God will always protect him.

CNY preparation

Wow.. this year was really interesting. Did my peanut cookies and with mom did the pineapple tarts. Nice I must say..Mom's use of sarawak pineapple was really awesome




Time to sell next year..haha!

Kim's recital

Kim was all dressed up. Haha! She said she looked so nerdy but nice. Sweet and Nice.

Proud of Kim's recital

Piano tuition teacher had her students' piano recital and while we had to wait for 16 other kids to play their 3 to 4 music pieces, she was the last of them all. She was also the page turner..
Well I must say that she did well and made us proud with her pieces, as most of them played with starts and stops throughout their pieces .. our girl did well and the recital ended with the best. Her finale. Teacher Jasmine said that all the rest of the parents said that she played very well.

Will post the videos some other time..night night
