Not long to go...

Hola world...

We had a nice week this week... Stickers and movies with Minnie...


A relaxing swim in my new kids pool...


Some posing...


A little more...


Just one more...


And what would any good weekend be without a trip to Ikea! (again!?!?!)


We visited Dr Paul on Saturday, I saw a photo of me on his office wall!!! It seems there is less than 2 weeks to go till I have a sister! Can't wait.

Finally, a new post (for our new house)...

Hola.. Sorry for being slack and not posting for a couple of weeks... Its been quite busy and daddy seems to not be taking many photos these days (he keeps saying the camera is faulty and wants a new one, but it seems to work fine to me!!)

I've just uploaded a stack of photos from a few things, so hopefully you'll bear with me...

During the week we went to a kids concert... it was great fun, as you can see the posse got down for some dancing...



While I chilled with some snacks!


I caught up with Sierra for a while...


We went to Ikea (AGAIN??) and mum and dad seemed to have bought the same furniture as the old house... talk about unoriginal... At least I got my chicken wings!


Mummy and Daddy came here 3 years ago with 2 suitcases...now look at that pile!!!


Here's the first sneak peak of our new place... much bigger, and more space for my toys (which are quickly expanding to fill the space!!!)


We also went to a play on the weekend, and met up with our friends...


Here I am posing in front of daddy's worksite (the tower on the left). He says he'll take me to the top when its all built, but having seen daddy's handiworks, I'm not sure I am game!!!


Dancing on the stage at Marina Bay...


A quick hug for my yummy mummy...


A little closer...


Oh, and Mummy's mums group organised a surprise party for cookie! (well, in preparation for cookie). What a great group of mum's!! Here's what they made for mummy!



Lastly, now that I know how to say both Camera and Cheese, I have been able to instruct daddy on what photos I want...here's one I requested..


Wow...that was exhausting... Time to rest.. (See, I'm almost too big for the pram already!)


Love Claire...

Singing and Dancing...

Its been a rather unexciting week, especially considering I've been sick most of the time :(

I was lucky enough to get a new guitar this week... Do you think I look like a Rock'n'Roll gal?


Over the weekend, I helped mummy and daddy with the shopping...


And applied for a job as a supermarket model...


Since I haven't taken many pictures for a couple of weeks, here's some videos...

1. My Favourite Congee



2. My ABC's (sung to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XEN4vtH4Ic&feature=related)



3. Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (sung to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhODBFQ2-bQ&feature=channel)



4. Rain Rain Go Away (sung to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3v0rJqyCTM&feature=channel)



5. Love Shack - performed by ME!

Howdy...Did you miss me?

Hola, now I know its been quite a while since my last post...but here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks...

We've been quite busy running around, looking for a new house, new furniture, and preparing for the arrival of my little sister...Not long to go you know!


Here I am enjoying a cold drink at the hospital while mummy had her check-up...


This weekend I took a little time to sit back with my friends and relax...


You need time with your friends you know...



But then it was out again to look for some furniture...


Daddy! I said NO PHOTOS!!!

Love Claire...

Not much to Say or Do...

Hola... I just realised its been almost two weeks since my last post!!! Not acceptable, but its daddy's fault...we haven't been doing much for a couple of weeks...

This morning we went to Aunt Jasemin's Art Sale 'Epiphany'. We were the first buyers (so we got the best ones)...


Aunt Jasemin's promised to be my art teacher now... ;)


This weekend Oma's here, so we've been a bit busier... I wore all red today!


And we went to Chinatown...where we watched a bit of a show for a while...


Then I showed Oma all the moves...


Boo...

Swimming! It's good to be home!

Hello world!! Just a quick post on my first weekend at home for a while... It's good to be at home!!


Who wants to go swimming... ME!!!


Daddy bought a waterproof cover for the camera (at least mostly waterproof it seems)...


So now you can see how much fun I have IN the water...


We have a fountain...


Wahahaha....


The only way to jump in...Is to climb out first...


And here's a couple of videos (one made by me!) of my swim today...

Hong Kong | 48 Hours - or there abouts...

Hello world... On our return journey from the US, we stopped over for a couple of days in Hong Kong...

Here I am with my friend Minnie!


Daddy treated me to a new handbag...


So I gave him a big hug!


But mummy got a big kiss too!!!


Not for you daddy!


You need to hold your bag tight, you never know who might be around...


This was the view from our hotel...


And a view of me!!!



I got quite a few stares here... People must have been thinking, "What shops sells them... I want one!"


Almost home in Singapore...

New York | Farewell NYC...

Hola... Here's my last photos from our trip to NYC and the United States...

On our last day in NYC, we made the essential trip to Grand Central...


And then wondered down to Century 21 and the Financial District (another must-do in NYC)...


Here I am on Beaver Street. Daddy made me stand outside even though it was really cold...just to get a blurry photo with Beaver Street in the background.


Mmm... My finger's like an icecream now!


For dinner, I got to try my first KFC burger...what a treat!


The weather was great in the US...and we got the joy of a cold evening on our last day (otherwise our warm clothes would have gone to waste)...


Daddy loves taking photos with me!


Farewell NYC...

New York | Brooklyn & Times Square

Hola... Today we took Dulce & Noel's advice and headed out to Brooklyn...

We took the Subway in the morning...I got a kiss from mummy (so romantic huh!)


And daddy made us miss the train to get an action shot of the moving train!!!


Here's mummy and daddy on the Brooklyn Bridge...we walked all the way across...


Daddy liked the bridge...


When we got across, we headed straight for the suggested restaurant, Grimaldi's...


A great pizza!


You want some? Thanks Dulce & Noel... it was great!


We then headed down to the wharf for some famous Brooklyn Ice Cream (but it was closed)... so we took some photos instead...


Daddy kept taking photos of the Bridge!


The essential family shot...


Daddy...won't you leave me alone?


Again?


Boo!


Another subway, and another cuddle with mummy...


Then Quesadilla and Burrito's for dinner...


I got to pose with a real-life NYPD Cop! (Mummy was glad I chose a handsome one too!)


Cheers!


Outside our hotel...great location daddy!

New York | A lot of Photos!!!

Well today was a big day...we walked and walked and walked... Wow... And daddy took so many photos (over 150 hehe)... Here is a sampler...since there's so many, I won't say much!

My souvenir from NYC...


Chillin'



I have to beg for my lunch these days...


Yo!


Maybe if I rap for a while I can score some lunch!


I got my mummy at least...


And Mickey!!


Maybe I could make more as a model than as a rapper!?


Its a tough choice...


Finally...Some lunch, but its just Ice??


We went to the 'Top of the Rock' as everyone suggested, it was great fun...


The views are amazing...


See... Beautiful ain't it!


Roar... I am Queen Kong!


It's a long way down!


Hmm...


No dad, don't push me!


Its windy here...


Lucky mum saved me from daddy...


And Grandad held me close..


Now I know where I am going...


Hey you down there... ready to catch me?


NYC...


Enjoying the sunset...


NYC at night...Pretty isn't it!


Playing around with mummy...


And a quick shot in Times Square...


Time to go home...


We'll have to come back when Cookie's old enough to see this...

New York | Day in the life of a Model

So...our second day in the big city started with a ride in the Ferris Wheel at Toys R Us... The photo doesn't really show how much I actually enjoyed this!


I said hello to a dinosaur...and roared at it for a while...


Then spent the rest of the day just wondering around Times Square and enjoying the place...


I must admit, I've been very popular here in the States!


People seem to keep taking photos of me...


I have no idea why??

New York | Woodbury Commons | SO MUCH SHOPPING!!!

Hola... Finally, the first in a series of posts from our New York leg of our holiday... Its been great!

Our first day was spent in Woodbury Commons, a Factory Outlet (DFO) style village about an hour's bus trip from NYC.

I was excited when we got there... Beautiful place, beautiful weather...


A store named after me...and a little car...


But after being ignored by Mummy and daddy for hours...being kicked out of my car for the shopping...


I decided it wasn't so much fun...and had a sleep!


For the record...we were there for over 12 hours! Spent over US$1,000 and a big portion of the bags were for ME!!!

Love Claire!!!

San Fran | Day 4 & 5

Hola... So we've been a bit slack and didn't post for a couple of days... We're actually in New York now, but we're updating our photos before we head out to explore what is obviously a MASSIVE city tomorrow.

Overall, San Francisco was a beautiful city, and we really liked it... We were expecting it to be bigger, but it was lovely all the same!!!

Here's the last photos (and videos of our SF journey!)

Here we are enjoying a proper diner breakfast (a massive omelet, bread, hash brown and coffee)



And with Granddad stacking the Jam (or Jelly as they call it here!)...


I don't know if you've seen my new pram, so here it is...very comfortable!


We wondered around all day, through Chinatown, up and down the hills. Here we are at the Transamerica Pyramid...


And me copying Grandad...


On our last day we took a ferry to Sausalito, a nice little town on the other side of the Bay... Daddy kept making me go outside in the freezing wind to take photos...


I am smiling to try and get this over with quicker...


Yeah, finally on shore, and that cold wind is gone!!


Awww....


We're on our way back now...


And one last dinner... a mexican joint in Mission called La Taqueria (Dulce's suggestion)... What great burrito's!!!


But unfortunately, mummy and daddy didn't let me have any... so I got stuck with an apple!!!


Here we are...our first NYC photo... At the airport, wishing the bags would come a little quicker!!!


And now... the Videos

Breakfast of Jelly...and nothing else!



I learnt how to talk to Sealions!



I tap-tap-tapped on the tram...



And finally, went a little tiny bit nuts at the Mexican place...



Love Claire...

San Fran | Day 3

Hola! We had our third great day in San Francisco today... We thought it was going to be cold, and so packed all winter clothes, but it was so hot all day!!

We started the day with a quick trip to Old Navy (I needed to buy a hat!)... Then it was off on one of the Streetcars...


We were heading to Alcatraz... Its quite a walk from the streetcar stop...


But its a good opportunity for a photo...


We had a quick drink before heading over to 'The Rock'...


Here's our view of the famous bridge... Its a bit far in the photo to see the red, but it was a beautiful view...


For lunch we had Shrimp Cowder... I had some ice...


Sure makes me smile!!!


Even makes me want to dance!


Daddy took me on my first big carousel!


Such fun...


Oh...and just for proof that we're really here... Here's my brand new shirt...


Love Claire...

San Fran | Day 2

So it was our first full day in San Fran today... so we spent the day shopping (so I could get lots of rest in my pram!)

We started the day with a nice hearty brunch...


Followed by some shopping, a nap, and some ice cream!!!


Afterwards, we went to Westfield San Fran... It was quite nice... They had some nice couches there!!!


I even made a video it was so much fun...



And a lovely dome...


I even got to colour in for a while with Granddad!!!


Love Claire

Singapore to San Francisco

Hola... I haven't made any posts this week, but Grandad arrived on Wednesday, and I've been having a great time since then!!!

Today we flew in two big planes all the way to sunny California...

Here we are at the airport... Its become a bit of a routine to go to the playyard at the airport these days...


Our other routine... Burger King (and I tried hash browns for the first time!!)


Daddy and Grandad look the same right...people keep asking if they are brothers (daddy's looking old I suppose)



Grandad and I enjoying the view during take off...


What a great start to a holiday... Chocolate Croissants!


Yum!!!


While transiting in Hong Kong we found a cool play yard where I got to fly my own plane...


And another pose with Grandad...


There's a theme developing here... Chocolate again!!


Yeah!!! We're finally in San Francisco... And its beautiful... (Grandad's nose makes it even more fun)


Here's the diner where we had our first proper US meal!!!


Before I go, there's two videos of my exploits on the plane...





I'll post more photos each day (until we get to New York, as daddy's too cheap to pay for the internet there)...

Love Claire...

Happy Easter (but no eggs??)

Hola... A very Happy Easter to all those readers out there (though I am really starting to think that my only readers might be my family in Australia and Indonesia (anyone else out there??)

This weekend was great...I had daddy home for three days!!!

On Friday, we got dressed up and went out shopping... I'm starting to practice my mean stares to send people different messages....


We ate at the same restaurant on Friday and Saturday... the porridge is so yummy... Here we are on Friday...


And again on Saturday!!!


I spent some time enjoying a quiet book in the afternoon...


Before dressing up in my princess mask to have some fun!


At the end of the day, there's nothing better than to sit back in the bean bag, put your feet up, with a drink, a snack, and a good tv show... If only daddy wouldn't ruin it with a camera flash!!!


On Sunday... it's Paragon time...and Barney!!!


I love Barney!!!


Love Claire...
