First grate the eggs or mash them up in any way you can think of.

Second, prepare all the other stuff like slicing up the tomatoes.

Third, in order for this task not to be boring and lonely, feel free to invite a sibling to participate.

Once everything seems fine, add a final dash of pepper and you are good to go.

Before serving, cut them up in pieces that can be easily managed.

Lastly, lay them out nicely on a platter and say “wahla!” with pride in the final outcome.
A few mistakes can also be observed. Wearing PJs to make food without a happening apron is totally unglam.

Daddy took leave to bring Clié and Cleo to the Science Centre. At what age would it be meaningful to expose kids to science? Most likely any age and Clié was definitely intrigue with some of the exhibits at the Science Centre.

Energy, Biology, Physics, etc. It was a fun and interesting day for sure.

One of the best exhibits would be this interactive multimedia surface. It views what is placed on the surface and decides what to project out on the surface. A rope that makes an oval will create a pond with ducks swimming in it. A square plate would find a dog or cat hiding near or even under it.
With Clié placed on the surface, flowers, clouds, houses and more flowers bloomed all over her. How cool.

Staying at home have got to be one of the most boring thing to do for Clié. She loves to go out… no matter where… even if its just to go pick mommy up from the MRT or just running errands.
With daddy and mommyworking late almost every other day, the weekends are precious.
This saturday, daddy brought Clié and Cleo to Downtown East to see Kung Fu Panda in the morning. Then in the evening, back to Downtown East again to catch Carebears who are making an appearance there.

Yay! A New Carebear plush for Clié.

The digital camera is so easy to operate, hence the kids at times take it out and snap random pictures of daily life at home.
Its nice to piece together the photos and try to figure out what were they doing. Here Clié is doing something at mommy’s desk. I hope she is doing her homework or practicing her spelling, but then again, she might be just doing something to something on the desk that we do not want to know. lol…

There is definitely alot of running happening at home.
When we bought the place, the intention was to leave the living room as open as possible, cause i really like to give our kids big wide open spaces to play, to do what ever they want to do. I’m glad they like it like that too.

Girl, you’ve grown up a little more each day. As the days go by, you show us more of who you are, the things you like, the things you dislike, the places you like to go, the things you love to do.
Do you know you are very much like daddy, living in the same house with you allows us to know you inside out.
On weekend mornings, you will come to our room and cuddle in bed with us. In the day, you are so full of energy. At times, you are so emotional and tell us in simple words how hurt you are for what ever reasons. Daddy knows how you feel, cuz sometimes daddy is also just like you.
The above photo was taken on Saturday morning just before we went downstairs for breakfast. Your “just wake up” look is so authentic. Love you girl. :*

Clié’s second tooth came off today and she was excited. The first one came off a few months ago.

We think its kind of early as she is just 4 when the first one came off. But I’m glad she is not afraid to get mommy to pull it out with a dental floss.

Happy Birthday Princess Clié Pan, may you be always joyful and may you grow up to be a beautiful and kind ruler to the kingdom of Pan.

Mommy had a great idea this year for Clié’s birthday this year. It was a princess make over party at Curly and Spike, no boys allowed.

The girls wore their best princessy dress and had their hair and make up done.

Smile.

Even Cleo had fun too.

Daddy got Clié a Sleeping Beauty birthday cake from Bengawan Solo. Do you know sleeping beauty’s name? If you don’t shame on you. Princess Aurora is Clié’s favorite, i think mainly because she is the only princess that wears pink.


There is no party without friends, so here is a picture of all the other princesses from that day.
Auntie Anne got more photos on her flickr, do check them out here.

As a family, we went to see Enchanted and it was really nice. This story being the latest in the Disney Princess collection, the girls had to go catch it.
Watch the trailer here.
Go catch it if you have not. Its a film for the entire family.
I simply love the juxtaposition between fairy tales and real life. Why can’t we have Happily Ever Afters, why can’t we keep things simple, why can’t we be like kids again. Clié, enjoy being a kid and remember daddy brought you to see Enchanted. When you are older, see the movie again.
You will always be my princess.
