How art thou Rome'o?

During our staycation at RWS last weekend, I was not excited about the casino nor the theme park. Instead, my eyes pop with interest when I saw the sculptures and paintings of Romero Britto all over the hotel lobby and around RWS.



Love his's art works! I was not alone, the colorful and textured paintings captivated Baby's eyes too! :) This gives me an idea of what to do if I decide on an art 'n' craft session for Baby. ;)

Caleb's 1st Birthday Party

It was off to another party right after checking out of RWS. Did an early checkout at 11 a.m. Reached home quite early and we even managed to feed Baby A his porridge too.

A short while later, it was off to NUS Guild House for our friend's baby birthday party!



Baby Caleb was very friendly, kept grabbing Baby A's hands. But I knew our Baby A. He didn't like people to touch his hands :) Indeed, Baby A kept squirming away, hehe.


Baby A seemed to like his goodies!


Halfway through, Baby A finally could not keep himself awake. Here he is getting in the mood for a nap.


Cake of the day! It's the norm these days to do a "3D" figurines cake.

Free for all!

Baby A goes to Resorts World Sentosa

Our cousin planned a weekend gateway at Resorts World Sentosa's Festive Hotel. It was also an occasion to celebrate her mum's birthday.

Well, of course I agreed. More details about the hotel here.



We were quite excited because it's been so so long since my relatives and I actually vacationed together. I knew it will be fun this time round too.

After checking in, we sight-see a bit. My mum and dad had coffee. Then we bought Baby A for his first dip in a swimming pool. He didn't really like it at first, probably because the water's cold. After a while, he seemed alright and I guided him along on his float.



Dinner was at Feng Shui Inn in Crockfords Tower. They seem to have a wide selection of live seafood available. Love the scallops!


The roast pork and duck is very good too!

Next morning, we had breakfast by the poolside and Baby A's cousins had fun playing in the pool after that. For us, we got to rush to another friend's baby 1st year birthday celebration.

New Family Member - Panny 20mm

After some months with the Olympus EPL-1, I decided I wanted a faster lens. After much consideration and looking at some reviews, I decided on the Panasonic 20mm F1.7. I am very pleased with the lens performance. Indeed, it gave me many more sharp and clear pictures of Baby A. Both CP and I were extremely pleased.

At 40mm equivalent of full frame, it isn't wide angle but still, I don't need to move really far back to capture Baby A most of the time.

Sample image taken right at the shop.


At $550 for the lens, it's really money well-spent. Since I bought it on 21-Sep, CP and I have already chalked up many keepers!

Baby Photo Preview

For the 1 year old photo shoot, we brought Baby A to the professional! Here's a preview of what's to come. I think this time is definitely better than his 1 month old photo shoot. Now, it's just waiting for the selection of the photos. I have a feeling we will buy the whole CD ...

Guess the riddle

During our lantern festival gathering last Sat, I gave my family this riddle to solve:



Feel free to try! :) Answers will be announced after Wed...

In case you couldn't see it from the picture, here it is:

日 高 一 十 天 白 空
长 处 人 士 鹅 勺 余
夜 无 游 脚 展 煮 一
短 口 弋 长 翅 酒 钩
愁 几 芳 披 鸟 无 三
几 人 草 雨 已 意 点
许 来 地 衣 飞 义 雨
