That Mom Of Four

We met up with our friends to have lunch at Lee Jiang Chinese restaurant in Bordeaux  centre ville today, then did abit of shopping.  Interesting fact, the chef at Lee Jiang which is owned by a Yue Nan lady is a French man who learnt asain cooking in Thailand for 2 years.   Videos of Nyx in the car which was taken today.  If you look closely you might catch a glimpse of her tooth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsvz4NbT5bE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Y_GxZSO_s

Nowadays I always wake up in morning to the sound of screeches.  Yes, high pitch screeching.  I go to bed the night before with tissue paper stuffed in my ears and they remain there till the next day in the afternoon.  Mr Oon Kok Choon says that his mahjong luck is good nowadays so he's trying to capitalize on that, which is why I have to sleep with tissue paper sticking out of my ears at night, c'est la vie mon ami......... Video of Nyx clapping her hands and finding it amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fptqg5MCIRw Video of Nyx trying to stand with some help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2sbD2dE4vc

I was on the phone with Melissa when I took this video of Nyx trying to get attention.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFn8hOY367I

Over the weekend we drove up to the wineries in Saint Emillion where the famous wines from Bordeaux are made.  We were given a tour and saw a film showing us how the grapes are grown, harvested and made into wine.  There was abit of wine tasting and we all bought at least 2 bottles of wine each before heading to the centre ville for lunch.  Gorgeous scenery!  Some of the pictures were taken in the wine celler so it will look pretty dark, heehee.

Yesterday we experienced hailstones in the afternoon. Quite scary if you you were caught in it outdoors.   Thankfully Nyx and I were at home at that moment. Booking my flight back to Singapore now for the 25th of May till the 30th of June.  Oh yeah...... durians here I come!

We just collected our new car yesterday after selling off our Citroen Xantia.  This SEAT Toledo's name is Lara craft 2 (Lara craft 1 is my black Vios back in Singapore).  It was raining hailstones this morning when Nyx and I were at our French class, thank goodness the sky cleared up by the time we were about to drive home.  Tomorrow its expected to snow...... sheesh! And I thought the weather was getting warmer. Bleah! video of Nyx watching me prepare dinner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JilHf7iVjb8 video of me stealing her tu tu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BplXngNBSEw video of Nyx after waking up:

Here are some pictures taken while I'm teaching pilates in my "makeshift studio". Hahaha.  Its a good thing Nyx has company while her mommy's busy.  Also some pictures of the yum yum food we get to eat after the class.  

Special request by Tammy that I should add videos and pictures of mini-me a.k.a. Nyx to my blog more often. So here's a video of my little rug rat after waking up from her afternoon nap.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubIgLfRWvFY And here's another short home video.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcC7RHISAyg

Ever since Nyx started learning to roll, flip and sit its become more of a challenge watching over her.  And i'm not even talking about how its like trying to feed her (you try wrestling an octopus, its similar to that).  She recently started a very habit of flinging her pacifier and milk bottle far away so that I can go pick it up for herand this all seems highly amusing to her.  I shudder to think of what its gonna be like when she starts crawling and walking..........

Just turned 6 mths and a week old

As the title suggests...... pictures of my monster learning how to sit.

These are some of the pictures we took during the CNY dinner
