Well, today is National day and I tell you, this is the first time for the year that we are able to see fireworks just right in front of our block! Our Central Singapore GRC has actually decorated and built a holding place for NDP Heartlands and the way they set up the tents are really very beautiful.




We woke up at 10am and we are to clean the house by mopping and to clear the house, so as to make it presentable. The reason being my University friends, Jiakai and Huiling and Ruien are coming to our house to see Josh! We also prepared lunch for them and we are very happy to host them!



They came and we started to exchange our thoughts about babies and how we managed them. And we are almost similar, as in during the weekends, they would be the ones taking care fully for Ruien and they also brought her down to NTUC for shopping, because it is near their place. And we actually saw Jiakai feeding Ruien. The portion is huge, compared to the portions that we feed Josh. Ruien is eating mashed minced pork, with corn, potato and spinach. And her appetite is certainly very good. Josh is beginning to increase his intake for his solids too. Yeah.



In fact, we just feel that all babies are different and there is actually no point in comparing or arguing about it. For example, for Josh, he has 8 teeth while other babies of his age has 2 or even lesser. But eventually, when they mature, all the teeth will be out! Isn't it true?



The 2 babies started to play around with each other and Josh is so funny! He wanted to touch Ruien, but he is shy about it and he kept his hands away from her. Ruien loves to follow Josh wherever he crawls too. And she is superb in crawling too. They also have this similarity: They do not like to have anything on their heads! This is so amazing yea? They also had a session of baby talk, which we adults have no idea about it! Ha. I even joked that they understand each other's baby language.



From the sight of 2 babies in the house, it made me realise that having children is so fun. Of course there is commitment and time involved in taking care of the babies, but at the end of the day, it is certainly very rewarding!



In the afternoon, my parents and sister came and they brought minced pork with smashed potatoes. They are delicious. And they even brought him down with the new bike and at night, we went down to see the national day celebration. The goodie fun packs are given out already and I am very amazed that so many people actually went down to see! There are even tankers from the army, driven along the Bishan street 13, in front of our blocks! This is so amazing and to us, it made us feel that it is war time. But it is quite disappointing because there is a technical fault with the fireworks and hence, no fireworks was displayed at Bishan. All of us stayed till around 9.30pm.

The day ended with us going to my mum's in law place.
