<p>Well, got to the dining room and it sure is funny to have the moment capture. Here&#8217;s the picture I had taken that evening. </p>

<div class="myinlinepicdescription"><span>Amilie fell asleep while eating her dinner.</span></div>
</div>
<p><br style="clear:both"/><br />
She was sleeping on the chair looking so tired.<br />
As Amilie went out in the afternoon and did not take her afternoon nap, she was so tired while eating her dinner that she fell asleep halfway through her dinner. </p>
<p>We woke her up after taking her picture as it would be too early to sleep and she would wake up later in the middle of the night. Hopefully, after that incident, Amilie would get to take her afternoon nap every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	Hubby happen to pass by this shop while walking to meet me. As we have no preference on what to have for dinner. We decided to give that stall a try.</p>
<p>According to the guy at the counter, it operated just like any fast food restaurants. The set meals are like KFC. Both hubby and I each ordered a set.</p>
<p>As the place was quite empty, there wasn&#8217;t any trouble in find seats. We sat down at a table while waiting for the meals to be served to us.</p>
<p>Saw the decoration on the wall and decided to take the picture.<span id="more-725"></span><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid black;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/190608_dallaschicken/DSC04996.JPG" alt="The Wall Decor" width="500" height="400" /></p>
<p>Though it operate as a Fast Food Restaurant, the wait for the chickens were a bit longer. Finally, the chickens were served to us.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid black;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/190608_dallaschicken/DSC04997.JPG" alt="The Box" width="500" height="400" /><br />
Here&#8217;s the logo on the box that the chickens were served in.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid black;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/190608_dallaschicken/DSC05000.JPG" alt="The Chickens" width="500" height="400" /><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid black;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/190608_dallaschicken/DSC04999.JPG" alt="The Fries" width="500" height="400" /><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid black;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/190608_dallaschicken/DSC04998.JPG" alt="The Drumlets" width="500" height="400" /><br />
The salt was not added into the fries and it was left up to individual to add. I liked that idea as some people does not like the fries to be salty.<br />
As the chicken was just fried from the kitchen, it was very hot. The chicken tasted about the same as from KFC.</p>
<p>So you may wonder where&#8217;s the location of this fast food restaurant. It&#8217;s actually located at 12 Upper Cross Street</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	On 14th June 2008, Izaac turned 2 years old. Luckily I didn&#8217;t have to work that day and we could bring the kids out that day for some fun. We brought the kids to Vivocity for some water fun. We didn&#8217;t stayed there long as we were being chased out by the management. However, we were able to capture some moments of the kids before we left.</p>

<p>After we left, we had actually wanted to get Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s Ice-cream cake for Izaac but didn&#8217;t as Vivocity&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t have ready made ice-cream cake for sale. We decided to buy Swensen&#8217;s ice-cream cake instead. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the cake that we bought. Got the picture of the cars as Izaac like vehicles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	Every time when we reach home, the kids would rush happily to the door to welcome us back. One day, when we reached home, we saw something weird with Amilie&#8217;s face. A closer look and we saw this.</p>
<div class="myinlinepicture" style="width:448px">

<div class="myinlinepicdescription"><span>Amilie&#8217;s blur face</span></div>
</div>
<p><br style="clear:both"/><br />
<span id="more-722"></span><br />
It seems that she was being bitten by Izaac. And from the look of the bruise on her mouth. It was mouthful. My guess was that Amilie was trying to kiss Izaac and being the playful one, sometimes he would open his mouth biting our mouth. And Amilie wasn&#8217;t fast enough to escape from his mouthful kiss. <em>keke</em></p>

<p>During those 3 days, we couldn&#8217;t help but laugh at the mouth as it look like a &#8217;sausage&#8217; mouth. And she was sporty enough to give us a tweez with her huge mouth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	Had some dim sum for our lunch before the Barney show. The place was crowded at Suntec Food Republic and we were lucky to find seats.</p>
<p>As every where were so crowded and we were not really hungry, we decided to have dim sum that day. Here&#8217;s the dim sum we had from the Fortuna de stall.</p>
<p><img style="border: 2px solid black; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/080608-barneyshow/P6080023.JPG" alt="Dishes of Dim Sum" width="500" height="400" /><br />
Hubby ordered wide spread of dim sum for all of us.<br />
<span id="more-721"></span><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid black; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/080608-barneyshow/P6080024.JPG" alt="Prawn Dumplings" width="500" height="400" /><br />
The prawn dumplings are yummy. Even the kids loved it.</p>
<p><img style="border: 2px solid black; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/080608-barneyshow/P6080025.JPG" alt="Vegetables Dumplings" width="500" height="400" /><br />
Personally I don&#8217;t like the vegetables dumplings as I don&#8217;t like the skin of the dumplings. It&#8217;s very thick and probably after a while it taste a bit bland.</p>
<p><img style="border: 2px solid black; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/080608-barneyshow/P6080026.JPG" alt="Dumplings" width="500" height="400" /><br />
The dumplings were nice. Forgotten what was in it but it was delicious.</p>
<p><img style="border: 2px solid black; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/080608-barneyshow/P6080027.JPG" alt="Siew Mai" width="500" height="400" /><br />
The Siew Mai was nice too. Below are the rest of the yummy dim sum we had. The food at Food Republic is nice. Next time we have to try other food at Food Republic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	The moment we know that Barney is coming to Singapore, I had been keeping a lookout for the sale of tickets from my company so that I could bring the kids to watch their favourite character.</p>
<p>When the kids saw the poster at Suntec City, they were excited. Here&#8217;s picture of the kids taking picture with the poster. They were quite distracted though. <img src='http://www.tangsanctuary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

After lunch, we went around other exhibition to see what was available for them and found saw a walking &#8220;robot&#8221; and took photo with it. <em>Hehe</em> Izaac was too afraid to take pictures. </p>
<div class="myinlinepicture" style="width:336px">

<p><br style="clear:both"/></p>
<p>Finally, it&#8217;s time for the show. The kids were happily singing with Barney and friends. But after a few songs, Izaac fell asleep. As it was nap time, Amilie also fell asleep after the break.</p>
<p>Luckily we did brought along the video camera to record for them to watch. And here&#8217;s some snapshots of the concert we captured.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	Recently, the kids&#8217; <em>shushu&#8217;s</em> (uncle) future in law bought some clothes from China for them. One day, was in the mood to try the clothes on Izaac and think that it actually looked quite good on him.  He loved to take pictures too and wouldn&#8217;t mind letting me take pictures of him.</p>
<p>I let him try the brown color suit first as the red color set is meant for Amilie. And surprisingly, it looked nice on him.</p>
<p><span id="more-718"></span></p>

<div class="myinlinepicdescription"><span>Izaac in brown Chinese Clothing</span></div>
</div>
<p><br style="clear:both"/><br />
Since Amilie wasn&#8217;t around and there is only one model, I decided to let Izaac try the red color set too.</p>
<div class="myinlinepicture" style="width:336px">
<div class="myinlineborder"  style="width:336px"><a href="http://www.tangsanctuary.com/photo-gallery/izaacs-baby-photos/?picture_id=2183"><img class="myinlinepictureimg" src="http://www.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/myfotos/izaac_bb_photos/IzaacPhoto_182.JPG" alt="Izaac posing in his red suit" title="Izaac posing in his red suit" width="336" height="448"  /></a></div>

<div class="myinlinepicdescription"><span>Izaac jumping up and down happily in his red suit.</span></div>
</div>
<p><br style="clear:both"/><br />
Then there&#8217;s another Hawaiian set. Doesn&#8217;t he look like he is going to the beach? <img src='http://www.tangsanctuary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<div class="myinlinepicture" style="width:336px">

Haha! I should bring Izaac out in those outfits some days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	Sujiah was our domestic helper and she had came to work at our place for 2 years. As she had to go back to her hometown to take care of her mum, she won&#8217;t be renewing her contract with us.<br />
When the contract ended, work permit cancelled and the air ticket was bought, it was time to send her off.<br />
We brought the kids along to send off her so that they knew that she would be returning back to her home in Indonesia.<br />
As we had not had our breakfast, we decided to have a quick breakfast at Burger King.<br />
<span id="more-716"></span><br />
Only managed to snap 3 pictures before my camera went flat.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/P5220001.JPG" alt="Bored Kids" width="400" height="300" /><br />
The kids were a bit bored as they waited for us to finish our breakfast.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/P5220002.JPG" alt="Take Picture with Amilie" width="400" height="300" /><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/P5220003.JPG" alt="Take Picture with Kids" width="400" height="300" /><br />
We asked her to take some pictures with the kids too. And she also brought out her camera phone to snap pictures of the kids and us too.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/DSC04965.JPG" alt="Sujiah Departure" width="400" height="300" /><br />
The kids stood and looked through the glass window as they waved Sujiah bye bye. Think they were curious to see what Sujiah was doing over there.<br />
After we left the airport, Izaac did ask about Sujiah and we told her that she had took aeroplane and went home. And he was able to accept it.<br />
As it&#8217;s not always we would be bringing the kids out on a weekday, we brought the kids to Marina Square and Suntec.<br />
Guess they had totally forgotten about Sujiah with the fun they had.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/DSC04968.JPG" alt="Taking Picture With Barney" width="400" height="300" /><br />
Here&#8217;s Izaac enjoying his ride with Barney and hugging the purple dinosaur.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/DSC04969.JPG" alt="Amilie On The Truck" width="400" height="300" /><br />
Amilie driving the truck with Bob The Builder.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/220508/DSC04970.JPG" alt="Amilie Riding On The Horse" width="400" height="300" /><br />
We were at Suntec and saw some horse rides, Amilie wanted to try out the horse ride but gave up before the time was up as it was quite tiring having to move up and down in order to get the horse to move. <em>keke</em></p>
<p>So what happen to the days without maid? Well, it was messy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	<img class="aligncenter" style="border: 2px solid black; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.babythings4u.co.uk/data/Categories/9af9cc8b14d3ff7fad9d4158e7c2949c-pic.jpg" alt="Twin Pushchair" width="260" height="268" /></p>
<p>Although the kids are getting bigger now, there is no need to bring stroller or a pram along, if there is a choice, I would prefer to bring one <a href="http://www.babythings4u.co.uk/pushchairs-prams-buggies-and-strollers">baby pushchair</a> along.</p>
<p>The reason to bring a pram along is that the kids could take a short nap or rest if we were outside for long hours. As Izaac like to look around as we were walking (even though he was really tired) and I would think that it would be better to have brought along a stroller for him to rest.</p>
<p>Previously, I would bring along a <a href="http://www.babythings4u.co.uk/pushchairs-prams-buggies-and-strollers">stroller</a> if I was to be bringing the kids out with my maid’s assistance. The kids would have to take turn to sit in the stroller while resting their legs and sometimes they would fight over who get to sit in the stroller.</p>
<p>Happen to shop around and found this <a href="http://www.babythings4u.co.uk/">website</a> introducing <a href="http://www.babythings4u.co.uk/pushchairs-prams-buggies-and-strollers">baby pram</a> and other baby products. What got me interested is the twin pushchair. If I had a twin pushchair like that, I would be able to push the kids around and they could have a rest if they are tired after too much walking from all the shopping. And I do not have to worry about them fighting over and they would be able to take a nap at the same time too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	Had a gathering with some friends at Waraku @ Marina Square. It&#8217;s my first time there and I do like the ambience there. We had our own privacy chat as the table was separated as though we are in a cubicle ourselves.</p>
<p>We each ordered our set of dishes and some side orders to share among ourselves. Here&#8217;s the dishes we ordered:<br />
<span id="more-715"></span><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04948.JPG" alt="Chicken Kaminabe" width="400" height="300" /><br />
This dish was nice. Can&#8217;t exactly remember how it taste like but it look abit spicy. <img src='http://www.tangsanctuary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04950.JPG" alt="Tonkatsu Wazen" width="400" height="300" /><br />
Don&#8217;t remember which of my friends ordered this set meal, but the dish look appetizing and yummy! <img src='http://www.tangsanctuary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04955.JPG" alt="Ishiyaki Ankake Ramen" width="400" height="300" /><br />
Here&#8217;s what I had, well, to tell the truth, I don&#8217;t like this dish at all, thought that the soup was like normal soup but it&#8217;s too creamy and I don&#8217;t really like that taste. Anyway, I didn&#8217;t manage to finish the dish.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04957.JPG" alt="Ishiyaki Ankake Ramen" width="400" height="300" /><br />
The set is very filling, with rice and noodle and there are a lot of ingredients for this set. And I feel, it&#8217;s worth the price.<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04961.JPG" alt="" width="400" height="300" /><br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04963.JPG" alt="Yakiniku Don" width="400" height="300" /><br />
The 2 dishes were ordered by my friends. Not sure how the dishes were. Guess next time after I had tried it then I will know then.</p>
<p>And some side orders:<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04954.JPG" alt="Aspara Bacon" width="400" height="300" /><br />
I quite like this Aspara Bacon. It&#8217;s nice and yummy!<br />
<img style="border: 2px solid grey;" src="http://photogallery.tangsanctuary.com/wp-content/gallery/210508/DSC04960.JPG" alt="AEbi Tempura" width="400" height="300" /><br />
The ebi tempura is nice too. Though common but still nice.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for the dishes we had at Waraku that day. It&#8217;s really a nice place for chit chat and had some fun.</p>
