All About Your Child

What better way to start the first day of the one-month long School Holidays, than to head off to the F1 track for the Singapore Army Open House @Our City 2012.

It was a last minute decision. Allan went ahead to his client’s house, while my boys and I headed for the Army Open House 2012 beside the Singapore Flyer.

It was almost 3pm when we reached there, after buying my lunch, which ended up being chomped down by my two little gluttony-monsters, we were just in time for the show at 4pm. Entry into the Army Open House show venue began at 3pm.

We had great seats. Right in the middle section, 5th row. However, our excitement died when the announcer said that the show must be delayed for 30mins and the parachute heros of Singapore: the Red Lions’s performance had to be cancelled due to bad weather. *pout*

So, instead of leaving our good seats, we decided to stick our butt on our chairs for a good 1 hour and 10mins.

The boys AMAZED me with their level of patience once again! Its definitely a new record high for sitting AND waiting, at the outdoors, with light drizzle! No complains whatsoever! *clap clap clap*

Too bad, Allan was not there to witness it!

Still, it was a very trilling performance with everyone’s head was moving left and right and cameras going snap snap snap the whole time. *laugh* There were  just too many things to watch at the same time!

After the show, Keatkeat went camera-crazy and wanted to take photos with every vehicles that was on the Army Open House show! “Mummy, take photo with this one! Mummy, that one too!”

I did not post all photos here, in case it takes too long for my blog to load. *bleh* All photos are uploaded on my Facebook though. Go see!

After the show, Allan joined us. It was already past 5pm. It was THEN, that the whole family headed for the REAL adventure!

The signboard which showed the approximate waiting time (1.5hrs) almost ‘tricked‘ us! We chose the one which has the highest ‘turnover rate‘ and it was a short 5 mins wait in the queue before my boys get their hands on a REAL Rifle!

First time holding a REAL RIFLE : SAR21

Souvenirs! Thank you soldier!

First time on a ‘Mini Obstacle Course’

And not forgetting food!
Binbin was so funny!
He struck a pose when he started eating, as if saying, “You must take a shot of us eating too!”
And so I did.
*giggle*

And we ended the day at the Army Open House with a sky full of fireworks! *smile*

In my opinion, Keatkeat and Binbin enjoyed themselves more at the Army Open House @ our City 2012 than a few years ago, when we went for the Navy Open House with my in-laws, simply because they ‘know‘ what’s going on this time…

*wink*

Were you there too?

Army Open House @ Our City 2012

17th May is indeed a very lucky day for this family. Lots of Good News poured in, one after another. Showers of Blessings soaking us through…. *giggle*

There are blessings which benefited the kids and there are those which benefited their parents. To read the list of good news which made Allan and I grinned from cheek to cheek, check out this post “Good News Pouring In Like Fountain”

Ok, so what’s in for my kids?

First, it was confirmed today that their FREE nature park adventure in Pulau Ubin is on!  They are DEFINITELY going to accumulate MORE ‘first times’ in this adventure trip. *thumbs up*

Second, BinBin’s stubborn shaky tooth FINALLY dropped and he could eat without having tears at the corners of his eyes today.

Yeah! *clap clap clap* It had been a few torturous weeks for this little fellow.

And then there were two…. read his first tooth-drop experience here “Tooth Fairy Visited Binbin For the First Time”

Third, Keatkeat’s distorted spine is NOT Scoliosis! Yeah!
Read the details here “So Is It Scoliosis?”

Fourth, though I had said before that habits die hard and bad habits die harder, this second Chiropractor actually managed to make Keatkeat stop one of his bad habits with just a few sentences of warning when we went to see him on Monday, 14th May 2012! Whoo-hoo!

That bad habit was cracking his back. Whenever Keatkeat sits for more than 30mins or before he goes to bed, he would crack his back. Ever since the doctor gave him some warnings, my boy had not cracked his back for 3 days! Yeah!

Fifth, we went to see the Female Chinese Chiropractor for the third time yesterday. This time, she could tell that Keatkeat was going to have a temperature and cough soon and she added one more medication to the usual bottle liquid. This time it was powder.

We were told to mix the powder with the liquid before Keatkeat drink it. We started this new medication this morning. This round, it worked wonderfully! Keatkeat only took two dosages and he was able to poo! Yeah!

The previous round, without the powder, he had to take 4 dosages or more before he could ‘perform‘ in the toilet. 2 dosage a day. Well, its definitely better than BEFORE we went to her. Keatkeat used to poo ONCE a week! *eyes rolled*

Sixth, as the second Chiropractor’s fees are reasonable, we were able to afford for two doctors to attend to Keatkeat’s different health issues, hence we are spared from any dilemma. *thumbs up*

Seventh, finally! I can say that Keatkeat and Binbin is on their way to recovery! *Super Clap Clap Clap*

Keatkeat has been coughing for almost 3 weeks and poor Binbin for almost 7 weeks. Yesterday, I saw that their coughing frequency has reduced and so I stopped their cough medication for one day and whoo-hoo, their cough did not aggravate!

I am a happy Mummy indeed!

Therefore with the list here and the list over at my personal blog, can you imagine how hyper everyone was throughout the day?! *laugh* It was Awesome!

*clap clap clap*
