Happy Birthday Timothy!!

Timmy turned 5 on Jan 6. We had a small birthday party for him at home. Nothing fanciful, as always (poor boy... we really didn't put much effort into his birthday celebrations!) We had pizza and KFC and invited his cousins over. Guess the only special thing this year is that he got to choose his own cake.


Yes... Its a BATMAN cake.. he has requested for this cake since August 2007! (this guy has fantastic memory.. and he is extremely long-winded.. so, remember not to give him empty promises!!)


The "unhappy" supporters.. Shukri, Sadiq and Jeremy ..(they were forced to take this photo..) Ryan was playing the piano while Ian and Joel were cheering him on.. (No picture of that though)

Timmy's character is quite the opposite of his brother. Jeremy is more reserved in many ways. Timothy, on the other hand, is the more outspoken and mischievious one.. The following 2 pictures clearly captured that side of him...

The Four Musketeers

In 2004, when Jeremy started his pre-school at Eternal Life Assembly Child Care Centre, he had 2 of his cousins in the same school. Having them in the same school really helped him settle down quickly (he cried for only about a week). Below is a picture of his first day at the child care... with Ryan and Joel.



Now, when he starts his formal school at Bukit Timah Primary School, he has 3 cousins with him. This time, he is even luckier to have one of them in the same level!


We have (from left).. Joel, Jeremy, Sadiq, Shukri...

Every Thursday, the four of them attend Science Buddies together in the morning and will leave for school from Ah Ma's place. Below is a picture of them getting ready for school...

The Big "ONE"... Bukit Timah Primary School

Yes.. this is year 2008 and our dear Jeremy is in Primary ONE....

This is indeed a significant milestone for Jeremy.. going into a new environment... new friends... new teachers... new routines... (hmm.. guess mummy is more anxious than Jeremy himself!)

In any case, Jeremy did extremely well for the first day, even though that day started with some hiccups.. (no time for lunch, almost missed the bus - just to name a few.)

Like most parents, we were also armed with a camera. Felt like i was waiting for some idols to appear, because parents had to be behind some barriers and we can only watch from there to catch a glimpse of our little ones... so, here are some of the moments that we captured...


Getting ready for school on the first day...


Look of boredom already?? Nope.. its the usual "cooool" look


Getting off the bus...


Waiting patiently for his name tag..


Waiting patiently (again!!) during assembly.. this time, one girl in his class could not be located..


His buddy... Han Xiang


Picture abit too small... but it was him buying his drink... H2O


Successful attempt in getting the drink.. with help from his buddy!

The Tooth-Fairy

Jeremy has finally dropped his first tooth... this happened sometime back in December while we were having our dinner at Genki Sushi in Forum... since then, another one has also fallen off (2 lower front teeth)... Though there was no present from the tooth-fairy, we are proud that Jeremy has such clean teeth... Below is a picture of him with his new teeth visible...
