Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today, we celebrated Mommy's birthday by giving her a SURPRISE!

Daddy bought Mommy a birthday cake and hide it in the refrigerator, out of her sight. On top of that, Daddy bought her a card and got me and Dylan to decorate it! We had so much fun hiding away from Mommy to decorate her card. It was a secret the three of us shared!

Daddy knows that Mommy loves to receive a card. Mommy thinks that greeting cards (traditional ones) are very meaningful and a great momento to keep.

In the evening, after we woke up from our nap, we began our mission to surprise Mommy with the cake and card! Mommy was so touched after she saw our efforts and she cried reading the card. Good job, special agents trio!

At night, Daddy brought the whole family out to dinner at Himawari for japanese buffet. We had so much food that we can hardly walk!

Happy birthday our dear Mommy. We love you!

Will you marry me please, Daddy?

Last night, Tessa asked her dad: Daddy, can you marry me please?
Then they danced and they kissed.

No wonder they said that Daddy and his daughter are lovers in their previous lives.
 
But it is just wonderful how the little girl loves her dad to want to marry him. Of course, she has limited understanding of what it means to be married to someone.
 
Growing up, I have always wanted to marry someone like my dad.
 
One of the reasons why I have always wanted my dad to walk me down the aisle when I got married was because I want to walk with him on my wedding day. It'll be like I am marrying my dad. Finally. =)
 
On the day when Tessa gets married, hopefully, she'll want to walk down the aisle with her dad, who simply adores her unconditionally.

Tessa's first movie experience

Today, Mommy and Daddy brought me to the movie! We are going to watch Madagascar 3!

I want to move it move it. I want to move it move it. Yeah!

This is my first time in the cinema and I am so excited! Unfortunately, Dylan cannot join us because he's too young.

Before the show, we went to grab a bite at Burger King.

That's me enjoying my fries and Coke =)

It is very cold and dark inside the cinema. I was given a booster so that I can see the screen better. Luckily Mommy brought along my cardigan. I was waiting for the characters to appear when Mommy informs me that this is unlike the live shows I see at the shopping malls. I will not get to see Lion, Zebra, Hippo and all in person. How disappointing.

Wondering where are all the Madagascar characters

The movie was very entertaining. I quite enjoy it. I am going back to school to tell my friends all about it!

Bout of Fever

I was on leave most of last week. Initially, I had plans for lunches with friends to catch up on long loss time and updates. Who knows Dylan was down with fever, for almost the entire week.

It all started last Sunday night. He was warm and lethargic. Then the fever came on and off, with it sometimes hitting a high of 39.8.

The poor boy's face was perpetually red from the fever. He was lethargic and refused to eat or even drink his milk at times. We were all worried that it is HFMD. But Dr Chong ruled that out. She warned of dengue if the fever persists.

In the end, I stayed home to look after him. He was cranky, always crying to be carried. Mom, Dad and I have to take turns to carry him to soothe him. He even refused his favourite ice-cream.

Fortunately, the fever finally came down by Friday, and he was back in school yesterday.
