*sighs* For the last 2 days, Ezra have been staying at home resting. Some how his persistent cough is still with him and is also having a bit of running-nose.
Just this morning, he was actually asking to go school. So I have to tell him to take his medication and get well soon before he can return to school. He is actually quite good liao. Only fussing when his cough gets bad and cough till he want to vomit out. Just praying that he will get well soon.
Ezra the Little Chef
Its day 6 of Ezra's pre-school. He must be really tired cos he went to bed at 7.30pm last evening & slept through until this morning.
Well breakfast is Chee Cheong Fun for Ezra & Jac has extra rice dumpling & soon kuai.
Our kindergarten is having Little Chef week as a leanring experience for the children. They are doing Pizza Bread & Ezra wasted no time in cutting up all the ingredients. When the teacher offered to help, he kindly refused "No need, i can cut myself!"
He is enjoying the fruit of his labour!!
It was so funny, I wanted to take a picture with Ezra & asked the teacher to help, immediately some of his classmates dashed forward!!
Day 6 of Pre Nursery
Yippeee!!! I'm so happy!
Finally! Ezra is able to walk in to his school without making any fuss or crying like there is no tomorrow. He just walk in to his school and hold his teacher's hand. So happy!
Of cos, must thank God too. Without Him things surely won't go so smoothly. hehehe.

Day 4 of PreNursery
I felt so bad having to wake Ezra up so early in the morning cos I need to be in school by 7.45am but we have not mgt to be on time yet!!
despite his protest!! After going to the toilet, the class went out for a walk. They are learning abt transportation & the teachers brought them to the roads & even on the lorry!!
He was very happy with his new friends & even tried to communicate with each other!!
Last stop was the HDB playground when he had a blast!!
Anyway, Ezra is coping well with having to wake up early. He would not fuss much, drink his milk, brush his teeth, take a quick shower & change into his uniform. It was strange, he refused to wear his Huggies pull ups & only want his usual pet pet diapers!
Here is Jac & Ezra's bkf!
Ezra is still quite sticky to his daddy & me when he 1st step into school. He did ok during temp taking but once in the hall, he asked to be carried. Like yesterday, teacher took him

Day 3 of Pre-Nursery
Today is Ezra's third day at the Nursery. I must say he did very well especially since it is the first day after the weekend.
Upon arriving at the school compound he started to be a bit sticky to daddy again. But I stay firm and told him to walk in to his class and promise to hold his hand. Manage to bring him all the way to the entrance where they check the temperature and signs of HFMD. After that he started to be a bit more fussy.
So no choice but to stay and talk to him for awhile. Finally manage to get him to go put down his water bottle and bag. And it was at that moment the teacher take over. However, a few seconds later he spotted his mummy and start to cry for her. End up the teacher have to carry him away to pacify him. At this point, the daddy have to take the que and leave school.
Overall, I would say he did well for the third day. Well done Son!

Ezra's first two days attending Pre Nursery
Ezra was supposed to start attending his pre nursery class this week. However, due to his little episode of vomiting on Sunday nite, we decided to let him stay home first.
On Wednesday he is much recovered after the 3 days of 'resting' at home. So we decide to let him attend class on Thursday. The last two days was very trying for us both. Especially so when he still cough quite badly at night when he sleep.
His fussy mode begin the moment he reach school and being super sticky to his daddy. However, after the assembly and with the help of the teachers distracting him, he is able to settle well into the class.
Now, must cross fingers and hope that he will be must better next week.

I am a pre-schooler now!!
Mummy & daddy has been telling that I am starting school in Term4. But I had too much fun & junk at Austin Hills and was coughing very badly so mummy had to keep me at home. But on Thursday, mummy thinks I am fit for school.
Daddy was with me the last 2 days. I was constantly saying to daddy "Daddy carry me".
I am listening very closely to my teacher!! We are getting ready to go home!! Yeah yeah maybe I will cry again on Monday...
Mummy got up early to prepare my breakfast which I ate in the car ride to school, Canaan Church Kindergarten.
Daddy was with me the last 2 days. I was constantly saying to daddy "Daddy carry me". I was really sobby during the praise time & insist that daddy stay by my side & refused to join the rest of the children. Today, daddy even had to bring me 1 side to 'lecture' me. After that my teacher carried me away despite my protest!! After that daddy disappeared into the toilet for the longest time!! I was ok after a while but stick to my teacher all day!!
I did some colouring today in class, I sat right in front of my teacher. She was telling me a joke & I laughted!! I am starting to enjoy going to school!!

Hun's Mooncake
It has been a family tradition for our sisters to get together to make pineapple tarts for CNY, ba chang and mooncakes. It not only saves us money but also a good time to catch up and fellowship. This year has been very difficult to get everyone together cos all of us were so busy!! Finally date was set & we gathered at Nancy's place to make the snowskin & brown skin mooncakes. I was supposed to take pictures but once we get started with work, all else was forgotten!!
But here are the end products...

Ezra was really hungry & asked to be seated on his high chair QUICK!! I opened his portion of herbal chicken & he went "Wow, thank you mummy" Hearing that just melts my heart, he has been so appreciative of the effort I put in. We all finished our food & Jac did the washing up of dishes which i hated!! Thanks darling.
I really enjoyed getting into the kitchen & cooking meals for my loved ones...
Fidgets
We have promised Ezra that we will bring him to indoor playground, Fidgets someday during the holidays & today should be it!! We thot he may like the company of his favourite Nana jie jie, Nadine jie jie & Janek. 
I got up early abt 7am to prepare food for the kids. Being there once, I know that near lunch hour, people will start leaving so I decide to make some burger bento, eggs, peas & fruits for them to eat so we can continue to play w/o leaving the premises.
Nana was all ready to go when she saw all the huge climbers!! She tried most things & had the most fun!!
Nadine was also ready but after she took the 1st plunge down the long fast slide, she started to show some reluctance. But she would still try most things just cos I asked her (very sweet nature) but insist only once!!
Ezra was much better this round & willing to try most climbers but wld always stop at the last platform & back track!! However, he grew to love ball pit! He would even jump into it!!
Well done son!!
Janek needed more time to warm up to the place but the balls worked marvelous for him. He would just pick up blue balls!! He was so tickled when we started throwing balls at each other & joined in readily. He dont really like riding in the car but prefers to be pushing it from behind!!
The kids on different slides. Nana on the long, fast one, Nadine on the covered tube, Ezra & Janek on the kiddo mininature ones. 
On the climbers.

Dinner # 4
We had a shopping trip planned to buy goodies for church upcoming funfair on Oct 1 to celebrate Children's Day, church & kindergarten anniversary. We met at 1oam in church & was on our way! Our stop was Mustafa which has so many things to look & see... can be quite overwhelming!! Anyway we mgt to top up some of our blessing dips prizes with oven & DVD players.
Lunch was a delicious Hainanese Chicken rice stall, Chin Chin. We had prawn roll, pork chops, chicken, mixed veg & gu chai.
So for dinner, we decided simple maggie noodles with prawn, veg, home made dumpling should be it.
We are bringing Ezra, his 2 jie jies & Janek to Fidgets tml morning. I am trying to convince myself to get up early to prepare their lunch bento!!
Dinner # 3
Jac met his friend to discuss some biz opportunties at Funan. So off to IT Mall once Ezra got up from his nap. We walked ard & I bought a Sharp fax machine for my office. It was good that we remembered we need to buy a suitcase the usual one we used is now in Japan & will not be back in time for our Hun family retreat to Austin Hills this Friday!! So we got a 25" suitcase & hoping that all our stuff can be packed into it!
Here's Ezra's catch!! 
Jac is off work for now and we are really enjoying family time together. I think Ezra's love language is quality time cos he is always looking forward to spending time with us & he will be very happy & excited!! hahaha maybe that's with all kids his age!!
We headed to Bt Merah Library to return & borrowed more books! Daddy chose most of the books. We even got him a Time for School book to prepare him for sch next week!
