My di-di & I

My di-di finally arrived on 30 Dec 2008. He weighs 3.53kg and is 50cm long. Can you tell us apart?

Proud Jie-Jie

Claire-claire is now a proud jie-jie!


And here's our new family portrait, taken with the big doggie which is a present from di-di.

一把小雨伞

My yi-yi found Claire-claire a little umbrella today. This is my first umbrella. Claire-claire likes it very much. My pa-pa says there is even a little song to go with it.

Claire-claire wonders when he will teach it to me.

Merry Christmas

Sssshhh.....

Please keep quiet everyone, Claire-claire is trying to hear what di-di is doing....

Santa at school

Santa came to school today. My mama said that Santa gives presents to boys and girls who have been good the whole year.

Yeah! Santa gave Claire-claire a present. He even posed for a photo with my papa and I.

Papa's new toy

My papa has a new toy. It is red in colour, just like Elmo! The best part of it....my papa lets me play with it. It has a long white tail, which my papa told me to put at my ears. Claire-claire did just as my papa told me and boy, did Claire-claire get a surprise! Music!


Claire-claire likes my papa's new toy.

Hand Foot Mouth!

It has been a boring weekend for Claire-claire. My mama and papa are not letting me out of the house till Claire-claire gets the all-clear from Dr Vanessa. This is because Claire-claire contracted hand-foot-mouth disease.

My mama was very sad when Dr Vanessa estimated at least twenty ulcers in Claire-claire's mouth on Tuesday. Claire-claire realised soon that this meant she could hardly drink milk, let alone eat my favourite food - fishballs and mushrooms. It was so painful that Claire-claire didn't even suck my thumb in the night!

Fortunately, Claire-claire recovered faster than expected. Today, Claire-claire ate all my porridge and even asked for an apple, a fig and an almond! My mama is quite pleased. My papa and mama told me that they are very proud that Claire-claire is a hardy and resillient little girl.

Hopefully, this means that Claire-claire can go out and play next weekend.

Claire-claire goes to playschool

We have been playschool hunting.

My papa brought me to the first one the previous Saturday. Claire-claire didn't like it. Neither did my papa. Yesterday, my papa brought me to another playschool. This time, Claire-claire enjoyed it much more. We learnt about the letter "M", monkeys and 猴子and all things related to it. Claire-claire also did some artwork and my papa took a photo to show it to you...


At the end of the class, Claire-claire sang and danced and was comfortable enough to venture away from my papa.

Claire-claire wants to be back next week. My papa and mama are glad that Claire-claire likes this playschool. My mama is especially happy that the hunt is over.

Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

This is a garden built especially for little children like me. Here, my papa showed me a cave where bears stay, pity none were there that day. But, it's ok because Claire-claire was intrigued by the wet and noisy waterfall. Claire-claire had fun waving at my mama too!

After that, Claire-claire went to the tree house. There were tubes where Claire-claire can slide down on. They looked pretty daunting at first, but after observing the other children, Claire-claire did. Whheeeee!!!!

This water play area is another fun spot. You have to work the pumps before water gushes out. Claire-claire tried her hand at one of them and helped to water the grass around the area.

Claire-claire likes this garden. We will be back again!
