3rd Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary.  As usual, every year this day we will have our anniversary dinner at Angus House @ Ngee Ann City Level 4. 

Both of us find that their food is very nice especially the steak is very tender and juicy despite having the steak well done.  And the special part is that the steak are served based on weight, for example 150g, 200g....etc...the heavier the more expensive. 

Well, this year when the main course was served we noticed that the piece of steak was smaller than what we had last year.

Ha ha...then we remembered that we ordered 200g last year while only had 150g this year.

The dinner set consists of 7 course - bread & butter, Appetizer, Soup, Salad, Main Course, Dessert and coffee/tea.

Yummy ! We will be back next year !

Play Yard

As Ethan grow bigger, he is getting more and more active, full of energy and strength (he is born in the year of Ox), plus getting heavier too :).  He is currently taken care by my MIL and maid.  Both the caretakers find it tiring to carry and take care of him, especially when he likes to be carried all the time.  So my hubby and I start looking for playpen with the intention of 'locking' him inside, but the plan has changed after my hubby found this play yard from internet website, we find it quite good and Ethan also enjoy playing inside.

See! Ethan is so happy! Good Choice!





Baby Swimming Contest

About a year ago, when we were shopping at plaza singapura, we came across this Babyspa for baby swimming and massage. www.babyspa.com.sg

We saw baby swimming in the washing machine size pool, babies (and parents) seems to be enjoying themselves, so we decided to let Ethan try.  On 1st try, Ethan like it so much, no cry, no struggle, so we sign up a package for him and bring him for swimming every weekend. 

We also sign up for Baby Swimming Contest for Ethan, and he was lucky to entered the final, which is tommorrow, 26 Sep. 

This is how Ethan swim in the pool....


The first post - introduction

Finally Ethan has his own blog.


As parents of our son Ethan we have always wanted to start a blog to record our thoughts when he was first conceived.....to record our feelings when he first came into this world.


However we being IT morons just didn't know how to go about starting a blog.
Soon Ethan was born.... then he is 1 month....then 2 months...still no blog.....


Until yesterday when I spoke to my sister Khim and guess what? she has her own blog!
My sister is a fulltime housewife taking care of her three kids for ten over years and i was surprised she has a blog.


"It is easy to set up a blog" she said.....
"Go and take a look at my blog"


Curiously I went to visit her blog.....it is all about cooking and baking (by the way thats her interest) and it was nicely done up, i am so impressed! Well done!
Those interested in baking here's her blog: http://www.funkitchen24.blogspot.com/


Step by step guided by her I finally start a blog for Ethan.


So who is Ethan?????






                                              This is Ethan - at 2 months old


Ethan is our one & only son, after trying for 2 yrs, i finally conceived.  My hubby & I were so happy and think that this is god blessed, so we name our son Chia En Jie, in chinese is 谢恩杰, meaning thank god for this precious son.
