Our Year-End Party

Before the year 2012 ends, we had a small gathering of ex-housemates and a few close friends in our home. Instead of hosting a casual party, we requested our guests to don themselves with D&D clothes. Most of them heed to our request and showed up well-dressed. We had dinner, played charades about 2012’s Top Ten movies, songs and stories, voted and awarded the “best dressed” of the evening.

The highlight of the night was our photo-taking session at our very own photo wall. Everyone had fun using simple mustache and pouted lips props. Even the kids joined in the fun. And I do believe they are the ones who really enjoyed that evening. Truly a happy and a lovely night with smiles all around.

From Me&MyGirls, a better year ahead.

My Little “Big Girl”

Did I blink too long that I didn’t realize she’s growing too fast? Well, she’s now 3 years old, almost half my height, and will start attending nursery school in a few days. She doesn’t want to be called baby anymore but big girl. “Time flies” is an understatement.

If I could only reduce time’s speed I would. But now all I can do is to cherish every moment of her innocence and keep every part of her precious childhood in the deepest recesses of my memory.

Christmas 2012

Yoshinoya

Ashrie’s a picky eater. We do not exactly approve of this and as parents we are trying to introduce her to a wide variety of food. But I think it will take more time to convince her to try certain foods, to like ketchup, mushroom, pizza, or even bread.

Yes, she eats veggies and like most children likes crunchy food – spring rolls, popcorn, and fried chicken. Recently, she discovered ebi fry or fried prawns. Not necessarily tempura but the ones fried with bread crumbs, specifically, that of Yoshinoya’s. There was a weekend that she had it for dinner and still asked for it for lunch the following day. She loves the beef gravy-drenched rice with the crispy prawns and would not mind having it everyday.

So I guess it won’t be difficult to choose a place to eat next time we go out as a family because to date, there can only be one choice, her favorite Sushinoya.

Kidventure 2012

Ashrie had always wanted to go ever since she watched the ad on TV. So, on the last day of the event we brought her to Suntec City Mall for Okto’s Kidventure. She just awoke from a bus ride-long nap but she dutifully accomplished all the required activities (all four of them) to receive her goodie bag. Although I think that Friso can do better with the reward.

The activities include Feeding the Cows, Milking the Cows, Hay Search, and Creative Space. There also photo stations, spin-the-wheel, a live show, mascots, and balloon sculpting.

After some waffles and ice cream at Geláre, we transferred to Marina Square Mall for Dinosaur Train’s musical show. The pink Dino gave us the most laughs. His head was too heavy for the poor guy to carry that he needed to always use his hand to lift the humongous head to make it more animated.

She’s happy. And when she is, we are too.
