Mosaics fun ! Make a hippo paper holder !
A good way to train their patience and their fine motor skills, by picking up and sticking the mosaics one by one. 
I just love it when he is concentrating hard in completing the project !

Grilled Prawns with cheese
For the prawn lovers !
The first dish which I made using Happycall Pan, grilled prawns with cheese. A super tasty yet easy dish to make.
Method:
1. Wash and drain prawns. Cut each prawn lengthwise in half. Brush prawns with olive oil and place cut side up on grill pan.
2. Mix garlic, butter, salt and pepper in a bowl and sprea mixture over each prawn.
3. Grill prawns for 5 mins or until meat turns pinkish. Sprinkle with grated cheese and return to the grill for another minute.
4. Place in a serving platter and garnish with chopped herbs. Serve with lemon wedges.
All ingredients are based on estimation.

School "Out" - 16 Nov - 31 Dec 2011
It's school "out" ! Been feeling pretty bad, not being able to take leave for this school holiday cos I have no more balance leave ! This is the period where I really feel like just not working and get fully engaged with him !
6 Weeks of school holiday basically I try to make sure at least once a week he gets to get out of the house and have some hands on.
Week 1 :
1. He continues on with Mindchamps till the end of November.
2. We went for Wowart Open House and he was simply enjoying himself to the max. Being his first visit to the school, he has no anxiety at all when I told him that I have to leave him with the teacher and go over to next door to attend a briefing. He acknowledged and I went back after the session to see a happy Xavier, spontaneously working on his project happily !
This was his completed project; Christmas Wreath
Week 2 : Started his holiday programs at Wowart. Did his clayframe making (I have yet to see the final product though) and did his Batik Painting. Thanks Jas for the pics !
Week 3 : Have signed him up for "Lights, Camera, Action" @ Zoophonics ! No problem with leaving him there as he has on and off asking me to bring him back to the school. He remembers that he used to attend classes there and the teachers remember him too ! Feedback given to
Don were very positive !
Week 4 - Week 5 : He shall continue with the weekly holiday workshops with Wowart. I may consider signing him up for term lessons in Jan 2012.
Apart from holiday workshops, as usual he has his fair share of going for Meet and Greet sessions in the malls. His latest craze was Hi-5 after Toybox Singapore. Yes even the daddy joined in and got "high". Imagine dear waited for the crowd to clear, went up to the cast manager and requested for Hi-5 cast to pen their signatures on the photograph !
He went to catch Chugginton @ Marina Square too !
Angry Bird @ Taka and of course now awaiting his favourite "Thomas and the fat controller" from 14 Dec onwards.
Next Friday will be bringing him to Babies Prom 2011 ! Hope he appreciates better this year !
Last two weeks of Dec going to be a busy one ! With two wedding dinners, two gatherings @ our place and several other meet up with dear's friends and mine as well !
Looking forward to the boys' Christmas shoot this weekend !!

Standard Chartered Marathon 2011
This year, Xav participated in a world class marathon together with daddy. Daddy went for his 42km while Xav went for his 750m fun dash under my accompany.
The lil' marathoners !
Ready to start !!
He's all ready !!!!
He ran and ran non stop !
Though I saw that he was tired but he didnt give up nor ask me to carry him ! I spurred him on telling him he was doing great ! On and off I encouraged him by holding his hand and ran together ! He was thrilled that I told him that he is going to reach the finishing line !
He gave the supporters who were cheering by the sides a "Five" when he ran past them !
My champs who completed their 42km and 750m dash !
See how he negotiated for more 100 plus after the run.
They are trying to tell you, if they can do it, so can you ! Am proud of them to have completed the run ! Looking forward to the next SCM in 2012 !!

Cold Storage Kids Run '11
A superlong overdued post and finally I'm getting done with it after almost 5 months ! That's how busy I can be when I need to work and spend time with Xav after I knocked off ! But life pretty fulfilling when I get to meet up with friends for meals more often now that with a presence of a helper.
Back to the post, this is Xav's first race ever !
A 800m fun race (equivalent to 2 rounds of a stadium) and this sunshine, sporty little lad, totally loves it !
We were there pretty early and we got involved in "catching" mascots for photo takings, taking part in mini obstacles course.
This is the Mamil Boy !
Totally enjoying his race !
Reaching the finishing point !
Everyone is a CHAMPION ! And he got his 1st medal !
Met up with the Ongs after the run ! One with Owen !
And found the Chewys too !
Our next run will be on this sunday ! Standard Chartered Run 2011 ! Looking forward !!

My 1st Fluffy bread making class !
Weeks back, attended a fluffy bread making class from Uptownsweets conducted by Joys.
Pretty interesting class, loaded with theories, hands on and lots of laughter !
I learnt to mix the dough by two techniques, either by machine or by hand. So those of you who don't have a bread machine, this class is good for you !
I learnt how to prepare the really heavenly tasty vanilla pastry cream too !
These are the sweet buns. They tasted real good with the blueberries Jam !
Oreo Bun ! Hot favourite when I brought it home ! Xav even gave me a thumbs up !
The round and pretty Egg mayo pizza !
I even brought my home made Hay Bee Hiam for the fillings =p
Sausage Buns
This is what we have learnt and produce from the class !

Baked Fillet with BBQ sauce
Last friday, I attended my department bbq event. Was quite surprised with some of the food prepared by the male colleagues ! Some made satay, some marinated fillets and my boss cooked her highly sought after by all - curry chicken !
Got to know the recipe for the fillets, so I went back to try.
Ingredients used for marination are as follow :
1. orange juice
2. apple vinegar
3. lemon juice
4. a dash of salt
Instead of BBQ-ing it, I tried to bake it. Afterwich, I spread some bbq sauce on both sides of fillets and continue to bake till cooked. It could have taste better if I did not over baked it as it tends to be a little dry. But on the whole it tasted pretty good with the sauce and salad.
One of the easiest and time saving dish !
