Another weekend goes by...

This weekend was quite busy! Friday night, we took Oma to the airport and said goodbye for now...we'll see her again in June in Hong Kong!

On Saturday, we woke up nice and early and went for a swim... After that, we got dressed and ready to go out to lunch...

Come on mummy, its time to go (notice I scratch my head just like daddy...its amazing what is hereditary.


Am I looking bigger now?


We went out to have dinner with Auntie Cathy from Semarang...she didn't bring along her daughters, its a pity, I'm still waiting to meet Alicia and Elena. Maybe next time.

Grrr...like a tiger!


And then, on Sunday, we went for an early morning swim, before heading over to PS (again) for some brunch. Uncle Richard, Sean and Eduard.


And before we go, here's a quick video of me using the AC remote...

Just playing around...

Hi there everyone... I'm trying to make up for the week without photos... so just posting a couple of me mucking around at home!

Here's my favourite keyring...well, its the only one I am allowed to play with...but I don't mind...its very special coz its from Grandma...


I'll have mine shaken, not stirred!


Love Claire...

My new playyard...

Today Daddy met us at Bugis, and I was so excited to see him I almost cried!! Its tough on a girl not seeing her dad for almost two days!!!

As a special treat, we all headed over to Parkway to have some dinner, and also do some shopping for Me... We bumped into Auntie Irene after daddy got a haircut...and then finally we did my shopping... and what did we buy???

A play yard for me to have unrestricted fun within!!!

Here I am in the new play yard...its quite fun...and Mummy doesn't have to worry about me banging my head on all those sharp edges around the house...



See, I'm really showing my place in this house...my play yard takes up half the living room, and its right in front of the TV!

Where do I come from???

I thought I would start this weekend's post by posing the question...where do I come from? Oma was nice enough to bring with her a photo of Mummy when she was a little girl...

I'd like to know from all my fans...who am I really like?? Are these really my parents!!!

Now...moving onto the rest of my weekend! Last night Oma arrived to visit for a week... she bought me some pretty little hairclips, which show off the fact that I'm a girl! (No more asking if I'm a little boy okay people!)


Here I am enjoying a little lunch with Oma... (notice the pink clip this time!)


And with mummy too!


Eating again...this time some Matcha latte's...

Farewell to the Clements...

Today we went to bid farewell to Millie, Auntie Heather, Uncle Richard (and the future Mr Clement to be).. they're going back to Australia to live in Sydney (lucky them!)

While celebrating, I decided I would jump in the pool, fully dressed of course!!!

Mummy let me splash around, and even enjoy a bit of watermelon!


Come here and let me give you a nice wet hug dad!

Love Claire...

Lunch with Daddy and Friends

Because I haven't posted for a while, I thought I had better share these photos that Auntie Felicia took while we had lunch together yesterday!

I haven't been able to film myself yet, but I have just learnt to clap...hopefully dad will get the camera out in time this weekend and I'll show you a video!





Bye bye...

Love Claire...

One Big Post...Two big Weeks...

Hello everyone!!!

First of all, we're back in Singapore! We've been gone two whole weeks, and what a great time we had! I just can't wait to get back to Sydney again!

Secondly, apologies to all my fans, its been almost two weeks since my last post...I did try, but for some reason it just wouldn't work till today!

So... rather than mini-posts with themes, I have just chosen the best photos from the last couple of weeks... and put a little bit of background to them! (And they seem to have uploaded a bit randomly..but there you go!)

Here I am with my little friend Lachie (Lachlan Lucas Pham)...he's about a year older than me, and was lots of fun! He's expecting a little brother or sister in August (well, obviously his mummy is expecting)... We had dinner together at Auntie Tram and Uncle Long's house...they're expecting too! By the end of this year there'll be four of us little ones running around!



One day, we visited Grandma's office...and while I was there, Daddy joked that he'd ship me back to Singapore along with all the pork, ham and bacon (Grandma works for KR Castlemaine)... (Once again, Daddy thinks he's funny!)


But before he could send me...I ran back to the car and got ready to go...


Here I am with Daddy and Auntie Karen, just relaxing at home...


And with Granddad's favourite team stadium! Apparently I am by default an Arsenal supporter...I'm still waiting for my jersey to arrive!


Just a quick one with Mummy at the Tradewinds Cafe...we went to visit our apartment...gosh, the tenants have so much furniture I barely fit in the place...Mummy and Daddy think the coffee here is the best...I don't know, they wouldn't even let me try!


While we were out shopping (as usual) I got to try on a nice pair of sunnys (which Daddy ended up buying for me)... I think I look like a cross between a hippy and a grandma!


We had a dinner with Auntie Irma, Uncle Stanley and little Angelica (who's now known as Angie, formerly Angel). We had a nice Korean meal...


Just a quick photo of me posing with some friends at home...


We had a BBQ with a bunch of family and friends... I got to play with Amelia, Matilda and Lara... This is me stealing Matilda's bottle (not very nice really)...


Mummy's practicing dealing with twins... Matilda was born nine days after me...


Here I am splashing in the bathtub! Bath's are such great fun! I have posted a video at the end of this blog if you are interested...


Here's me crawling around the kitchen floor with Bow... Bow's so great... I miss him already!


Here I am eating some chocolate custard with Grandma :)


And eating a piece of fruit at another BBQ.


Just me in the garden...


Me in the car... with my shades...


You looking at me?


With Auntie Karen at the shopping centre...who's she talking to I wonder?


With Daddy's school mates at Leichardt...having a late night gelato (again)


With Uncle Kiet and Iris...


By a waterfall (at Canterbury Leagues)...


Showing off my new trick...crawling around... (incidentally, I can also stand and wobble too!)

Me and Iris playing in the garden...


And finally, Grandma and I at the airport! Bye bye grandma... see you again soon I hope...


So...that about wraps up my holiday... Some other things we got up to, but didn't photograph:
- BBQ with mummy and daddy's friends
- Shopping
- Eating
- Shopping
- I met lots of new people
- I learnt to pull myself up to a table and wobble
- I started saying Da-da, and occasionally dad
- I sat in my first car seat (thanks Lachie!)

If I've missed anything...please let me know!

(And here are the videos!)
