First Field Trip

8th Mar 2012 - Chloe's Long awaited FIRST FIELD TRIP to Lake Garden. MaMa and PaPa were equally excited as this would be Chloe's first outing without PaPa and MaMa. We could not imagine how it would turn out as we must admit that we are both very protective (or maybe slightly "over"-protective) towards our girls. Finally, the BIG DAY had arrived, and PaPa "volunteered" to send Chloe to school together with MaMa. 

Chloe knew that this day is her First Field Trip at the Playground together with her friends and Mrs. Zue. Chloe rose willingly without tears and groaning. So Smart!!! Although she did not moan for tiredness or lack of sleep, nevertheless, MaMa can't help to notice her heavy eye bags which had betrayed her "fake" energy displayed upon her face. 

We arrived school at about 8.10am and Chloe had been sluggish the whole morning, especially after the 10mins nap on the journey to school. Yet, Chloe did not complained a word or misbehaved. Once arrived school, she jumped into the line which belong to her class. She sat quietly together with her classmate until the Head Teacher announced that there will be a change of destination due to the rain. The school teachers did not want to disappoint the children, they actually send someone to the Lake Garden to check out the Playground if it was still wet and muddy. Inevitably, the heavy rain had actually flooded some part of the playground and the Garden was definitely WET and MUDDY. 

In the end, the Head Teacher announced again that they were going to Museum instead of the Muddy Lake Garden. Apparently, we don't think these kids would appreciate the Museum, however, these kids were contented enough that they were still going for a FIELD TRIP to "anywhere" & "Burger King". Yes, the school had already arranged Burger King for their lunch. Of course, with the consent of parents.  :P

They departed at 9am sharp with two buses. 1 teacher & 3 helpers (volunteered mommies) against 10 children in a class. I was quite confident that these kids will be safe and they will undoubtedly enjoyed their FIELD TRIP! 

I am not sure what they did at the Museum. All I know my darling Chloe came back with a HAPPY and ENERGETIC face. She certainly enjoyed her field trip. When MaMa asked her what she did on her field trip, all she said was she saw "Fountain". Ya, I didn't expect her to come back with history or science particulars. MaMa proceeded to ask her about her lunch, she gave me a cheeky looks and said quietly , " I had fries and burger, and nuggets and..." She paused.

"Anything else?" MaMa continued, "Did you eat ICE-CREAM?"

She nodded excitedly. Haha...She wanted to hide it from us but we actually found the EVIDENCE on her nose. There were white stains on her nose and mouth, which were sticky. NO WHERE TO HIDE, dear. 

These kids started to look really tired after the field trip EXCEPT for my girl. *sigh* She was still very excited about her field trip and told MaMa that she wants to go for another field trip with her friends and teachers. 

Photos Updates

Last night, Clarisse said "MaMa, pou pou (carry) Clarisse take galsses."

MaMa complies with Clarisse's request, and she took the glasses and wore it on her own. Hahaha...look at it closely, the sunglasses is actually upside down.  Cute Cute Cute~~

Then, JieJie Chloe took the sunglasses from Clarisse and said to her little sister "No, Wear Like this!" Hahahaa..

Saloon Haircut

 Last Sunday, after the Gymbo Class, MaMa sent Darling Clarisse for a haircut. I didn't expect we could make it as I was expecting a fuss from Clarisse. SURPRISINGLY, Darling Clarisse sat on the green "Truck" pretending to drive vigorously. The whole truck was practically rattling just like she was driving on the off-road terrains. Darling Clarisse will definitely be a 'fierce' and 'dangerous' JUST like PaPa. *sigh* MaMa has to educate Clarisse from now on, otherwise... *sigh* Anyway, As Clarisse was reveling in her '4x4' driving experience, the Pretty Hairdresser started to trim Clarisse's Hair at her back, then slowly moving to the front. Of course, Clarisse was no longer shaking the Truck during the HairCut, She sat still with her eye opened wide, waiting for the Haircut to end.

Ta Ta!!! This is Darling Clarisse's New Haircut. Leng Leng Mou? 

I remembered when I was 10 or younger, my mum always brought my along to the saloon when she was going for Haircut. Since I was waiting, Mum always got the Shampoo girl to give me a wash & blow. At that time, those Shampoo girls always said to me " You are so blessed. You are already enjoying the luxury of wash & blow at your young age." Well, honestly, I didn't understand what luxury that they are talking about. It was just a WASH & BLOW ma..... Now, Looking at my own daughter, sitting on a special designed Haircut "TRUCK Seat" having a SPLENDID Haircut and a Hair Blow at this age of 18 months. Gosh......  :P Well, I used the cut Chloe's hair, but PaPa said it was ugly. So, this time round, he insisted to bring Clarisse to the Saloon for a cut instead. Hahahaha.... 

Ballet Class

A While ago, MaMa found a Ah Yi's Ballet Conert's VCD. MaMa played it for Chloe & Clarisse, and they love it so much. Since then, Chloe told MaMa that she wants to be like Ah Yi and Ballerina Angelina. Haha...Then, MaMa promised Chloe to send her for Ballet Classes. 

At that time, "Jean Gan" would take her because to attend baby ballet must be aged 3-years and above. Finally, she turned 3 few months back but she fall sick frequently and she just started schooling, so I didn't want to stress her out too much. 

One day, Chloe was watching Ballerina Angelina again and she spinned just like a pirouette and said, " MaMa, Look. Chloe is like Ah Yi, like Ballerina Angelina." I guess there is no more excuse for MaMa to delay further. Immediately, I checked out the Schedule with Jean Gan and there she goes at the Ballet Class learning the real pirouette (errr....Soon???!!!). My girl is no longer a BABY baby. Hahaha...She is my BIG baby now!

Clarisse is now 17 months old

Wow, My Baby is already 17 months now. I used to describe her as a "Cool" girl as it was very difficult to make her smile. This is not the case anymore, Jie Jie Chloe has been doing a good job and get our Baby Clarisse laugh a lot lately. TODAY, MaMa would describe Baby Clarisse as a fun and cheeky little girl. 

As I mentioned before, she is still the INDEPENDENT girl. She always like to do things in her own way and all by herself, she doesn't want anyone to disturb her. 

At this age, she is able to chew everything properly and not choked (like her Jie Jie Chloe). She doesn't like to be fed, she like to eat her food on her own, and honestly I absolutely LOVE her decision of eating on her own, so that I can get the chance to enjoy my meal. :P Sigh, unfortunately, Chloe dear is still very very very pampered (manja), she is already 3+ and yet she always want MaMa or KaKak to feed her. Even when she decides to eat on her own, I can't never get my eyes off her because she tends to make a mess with her food, and the worst part is that she touches her face, hair, shirt, pants, everywhere with her oily and dirty hands. Ewwww.... Baby Clarisse is totally the opposite. Baby Clarisse would usually complain if her hands are dirty, so that we can clean for her. Well, Chloe does that too WHEN HER MOOD IS GOOD! :P 

MaMa thinks Chloe is a great influence to Clarisse. Chloe cheers Clarisse up, teaches her what she learns and what she knows to Clarisse. That's why Clarisse can sing now. She can sing almost a full song of ABC, parts of twinkle twinkle little stars, itsy bitsy spider, I Love You song etc etc. Clarisse loves to dance. These two little girls would turn on the music on their mini electric keyboard and start dancing happily with lots of laughter. 

Clarisse loves to eat CHEESE. Whenever she sees MaMa in the kitchen, she would go to the Fridge and ask for CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE! 

Clarisse can speak quite well now, she learning colors - Blue, Green, Pink, Red.. I can see she loves PINK and GREEN alot because these are the colors she mentioned MOST. 

----------------------------------------------------

Darling Clarisse,

MaMa loves the way you laugh. Your laughter is like Sunshine, and MaMa love SUNSHINE! 

MaMa wants to spend more time with Clarisse, to play, to read, to dance....whatever you like to do. Of course, Jie Jie Chloe loves Mui Mui Clarisse a lot too. She will be with you always and MaMa hope that you and Jie Jie can take care of each other. 

Love,

MaMa
