Rahyan goes to school

5th of January 2009 is a memorable day for Rayhan as it is his first day in school. Rayhan's grandparents will be taking care of his daddy's sister's newborn (expected to arrive in March 09) and so will not be able to take care of Rayhan full time.

After scouting around for several different schools, we decided to send Rayhan to a school in International Business Park which is very near to our home. The principal enrolled him in the N1 class. Here are photos of Rayhan's first few days in school.

We send him by 8am and he starts the day by having breakfast in school with his nursery classmates:


Then its assembly time!!


On some mornings, the teachers will bring the kids out for a walk around IBP:


Then it's shower time where all the kids will form a choo-choo train line to the loo:

The gal in front of Rayhan is Xinyi..she is very quiet but very pretty gal with big eyes :-)


Finally reached the loo!


Rayhan and Xinyi again :-)


After shower time, it's classroom time - but not before packing their bags of clothes in their boxes:


See Rayhan's name:


Rayhan the Architect:

Rayhan the Picasso:


Finally it's nap time (at around 1330hrs):

Rayhan's first motobike

Rayhan converted his rocking horse into a motorbike with huge exhaust pipe behind. This is definitely the influence from his papa who is a car fanatic. sigh...

Hari Raya Family Clothes

Last year i bought dark purple color clothes to make our Hari Raya clothes. This year, i bought light yellow to make our Hari Raya clothes. I added embroidery to the hemming of my baju kurong. Rayhan is my little model to model my clothes =)

Singapore Flyer

We had our first experience of Singapore Flyer. Rayhan was so excited that he poo poo in the cabin. The odour fumed the cabin but the other visitors acted nonchalantly. The poor visitors had to endure the odour for nearly 10mins. hahaha.

Rich Expression...

Papa took a series of photo of rayhan waiting to blow his birthday candles. See how funny his expressions are...

Hari Raya Puasa - Malay Cuisine

This year, i helped out in the kitchen to cook a splendid Hari Raya meal for everyone. We cooked Korma chicken, Serunding, Ketupat, rendang. Will try to cook by myself next year and invite my friends to taste my cooking.

Chocolate Boy..

Rayhan's favorite cake is chocolate cake. He can eat one quarter of the whole cake. Scary chocolate eater. See how he gave himself a chocolate kiss. hahaha

Rayhan and Papa's birthday cakes

My family bought Rayhan and Rayhan's papa beautiful and delicious cakes. One is from carousel and the other one from 747 durian shop. the carousel chocolate cake has extra crunch (base is made of rice cereal) and it has slight jasmine taste. The durian cake from 747 is very rich (D24). Hmm...think for my birthday, i will request for fruit cake which is my all-time favorite.

Ferrari Boy...

Papa took rayhan to see street racing at Kallang. Rayhan looked rather moody under the hot sun. Rayhan is into racing just like his dad. He can spot subaru car very well. I will prefer him to spot for skyline which is auto car. heehee...

Mid-Autumn Festive 2008

This year, i fulfilled my dream to spend a good mid-autumn festive with my family and friends. We invited our friends to our house to break fast. After tarawih prayer (at the mosque near my house), we went to the park beside the mosque and had picnic there. We had chinese iron buddha tea, all kinds of mooncakes (ice cream, mochi, teochew style, cantonese style). After feasting, we walked around the park carrying lanterns. Poor friends of mine were forced by me to walk around carrying lanterns. hahahaha
