Sesame Street Live 2010

We brought Rachel to watch Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows Up at the Indoor Stadium on 11 Sep 2010. The tickets came free when I signed-up for Motherhood magazine. I won't pay knowing that Rachel most likely won't remember anything from the musical.

We got tickets for the balcony seats but we could take any seatings that day because the turnout was pathetic and an asher suggested us to go to the front. We took the 2nd best seats because the best seats are not elevated and will be a bit challenging for our necks.

The experience were good though our little darling fell asleep in the first half of the show. The whole place was dark and the air-con were just nice and cool. Moreover, with the soothing lullabies that the Sesame Street characters were singing, its no wonder she slept. I, too felt like sleeping. She woke up during interval when the lights were on and she stayed awake to enjoy the 2nd half. She even clapped to the songs that she was familiar with, including Itsy Bitsy Spider. :)

Feeling excited!

Fell asleep in the first half.

Woke up during interval and we managed a family shot! She was still sleepy in this shot.

The famous Sesame Street characters. The story is about what Elmo wants to be when he grows up.

Engrossed in the show.

End of Sesame Street Live. See you again!

F1 Driver!

Baby Rachel would love to be a F1 Driver, judging from her passion in driving. She loves kiddie rides and she got very excited when Daddy let her have a taste of the real steering wheel recently. She was dancing while holding to the wheel.

Pictures taken on 12 Sep 2010 through the car window screen (obvious) hence they are kinda blur.

Rachel is sick!

It has been exactly one month since I last blogged and accumulated on my white board (at home, of course) is a list of backlog stories that I wanted to share but alas, Rachel is sick, and I'm really not in the mood to write long happy stories.

I'm just totally drained of energy. Since last month, we were busy preparing for our Japan trip and you won't believe the amount of nonsense we got from our tour agency (elaborate more the next time). Then, we were in Japan and Rachel got sick. Fortunately, she was still active and happy but her appetite dropped tremendously. SOB. Heart pain. Previously, Rachel had got fever due to vaccination but this is her first so-called real virus attack. Guess the weather is too dry for her. Sigh. Now that we are back, she got worse. And medicine in milk don't work, medicine using syringe don't work and now we are simply shoving the medicine using spoon straight into her mouth and then quickly pop in her water bottle to make her swallow. Sounds horrible huh? You won't feel so once you see her with thick mucus bubbling at her nostrils. :( Can't they invent cough and running nose jabs? Maybe they have? I better call my PD tomorrow to check!

Hope my darling Rachel and myself get better soon. Yes, I'm sick too. :( Her virus too strong for my army to defend.

It's Monday tomorrow! Arggh... I better hit the bed now!
