Hello 2013, what are we grateful for in 2012?

Daddy always nag to kids “To be Happy, is to be Contented, 知足常乐”.
Family is healthy, kids are doing well in their studies, Mummy is relishing her dreams to be a home maker. Everyone is Happy 🙂

We must be grateful.

By now, everyone is saying Mayan’s End-of-world predictions are wrong. But to those who lose their relatives and friends through tragic circumstances, the grief is no less heart-wrenching 🙁

If the world should end tomorrow, Daddy just hope our family will stay together (instead of running everywhere looking for shelters) . In good and bad times, a Family must stay together.

Family
2012 was good to our family, everyone is healthy and growing well.
Health is everything.

– Mummy is finally a SAHM (Stay at Home Mum). It has always been Mummy’s dream to be a home-maker, but it is not easy to rely on a single income in Singapore. Mummy has to sacrifice her dreams for the family.

– Boon Kang is progressing well in Primary One. Although we got a few meet-the-teacher session (oops), we have seen Kang mature into a responsible boy.

– Boon Yi and Xin, they are still cute, and constantly bickering. Always fun to watch them “Argue” with each other.

– Big brother Wen Wei is coping well in school, and Mummy and Daddy continues to rely on Wei to be our role model. Oh, did you know Wei is almost as tall as Mummy already ?

Blog
In 2012, our blog are Ambassadors of Fun, in line with our Blog Vision. Our Blog motto is “We Bring You Fun“. We hope more families have benefited from our experience, be it parenting, or kids engagement. No one ever mention parenting is easy, but we can certainly make it Fun.

We got a bit more famous too in 2012 🙂

– as one of Omy Singapore Top Ten family bloggers, our blog has seen more airtime in the social media circles. Well, people are not asking Daddy “where does SengkangBabies live?” so frequently.

– Daddy appeared on “早安您好” and “Razor-Tv” to talk about parenting from a Dad’s point of view.

– Our blog was honoured as one of Marina Bay’s amBaysaddors. We pop by Gardens By the Bay‘s opening too 🙂

We even got lucky and won a HP Notebook and $1000 HL Milk money.

– Last but not least, we were invited to review Cameron Highland’s Strawberry Park resorts

Our blog opens up so many opportunities and fun-events for our kids. More importantly, we make new friends 🙂

Personal
Daddy hopes he can continue to be a role model for the kids. Daddy shared his Bone Marrow donation and Hair For Hope experience. With our Blog and Fanpage, we hope to spread more goodness campaigns, sort of giving back to society.

To our friends and fans, thank you for supporting us all along, it was very fulfilling for us to maintain and watch our Blog grows.

If you ask us what we are grateful for, Daddy will tell you “Everything” !
We wish you and your family a Good 2013. Happy New Year !

Birthday + Christmas Party at McDonald

Date : 25th Dec
Venue : McDonald outlet at East Coast seafood center
Agenda : Birthday and Christmas celebration for Wei (9), and Yi (5)

We got 16 kids to R-O-C-K our party 🙂

This McDonald outlet is new, and quite spacious, and can pack 30 guests easily.
The party is on the second floor.

When friends gather, everyone is happy. Somehow the Blue McDonald background rises the FUN factor like 3D effect. We love all the family photos !

We even brought along some Elf, Reindeer, and Santarina hats for everyone to soak in the festive atmosphere.

Isaac’s table soccer is popular with everyone 🙂

We are so glad Boon Xin’s childhood friends Xavier and Thomas could join our party. Really fun to watch them renew their bonds 🙂

Dinner is served, we need energy before we can play games. Kids balance marbles with spoon, colours sorting and pit themselves against the opposite team. It is just game, but kids are super competitive, urging their team mates “Faster” haha 🙂

When we got good company, it is Laughter and Fun all the way. What more do we need to ask for, when kids are already so Happy ?

..maybe more balloons and goodie bags 🙂

Cut cake and pose, both boys opt to have Autobot’s Optimus on their cake.

Video : We switched off the lights and wish the boys Happy Birthdays !

With friends like this, every party, regardless of venue or food, will be Happening. Thank you all for gracing our party, and making our day. We are sure the kids will remember this party for some time to come 🙂


Kids eagerly waiting to dismantle their Christmas presents 🙂

Additional Fun factors :
– Boon Kang celebrated his 7th Birthday at McDonald too, Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.
– Our party photos are also on our fan page

Wen Yi’s actual birthday is on 27th Dec, we brought him an Angry Bird Space cake 🙂
Good on you Yi, even though we always celebrate your Birthday earlier, we have not seen you complain before.

You are happy, whenever everyone is happy. What a sweet boy 🙂
