Hi everyone, my name is Naomi Chen Xuanning and you can call me Mimi for short. That's how Mummy always called me. By the way my Daddy's name is Vincent Tan and Mummy's name is Sally Ng.

I was born on 7th Jan 2008 by induction at Thomson Medical Centre after 40 weeks of gestation. My birth weight was 2.55kg with a length of 48cm and head circumference of 33cm.

With tender loving care from Daddy and Mummy I've grown!

Welcome Back

Hi Aunties & Uncles, it has been more than two months without any update on this blog. Apologized for the MIA. Sorrrrry... Well during these MIA period, life was busy for everyone in the family. First of all, we moved over to Nai Nai's house somewhere last month. We had to make this moves as the domestic helper has left and the new wasn't here yet. Kind of a tedious process with lots of baggage to bring over (especially and mostly my stuffs). Mummy was exhausted during that period as she has to do OT at night after coming home from work and that was to look after the "princess". Overall she survives through the nights with washing of milk bottles, doing the laundry and most importantly spending time with me. She was glad that it reminds her not to be complacent and takes things for granted by leaving it all to the helper.

As for me, I was happy with the new environment. I made new friends with the next door Jie Jie and Gor Gor and get to play with them in the evening. I also got more attentions from Nai Nai, Grandpa and Xiao Su while they are around. They all kept me busy....or should I say I kept them busy??? Beside all these I also had a closer bonding time with Daddy and Mummy since they are my primary caretaker now. Check out below for the list of activities we had together as a family during the past months....

10th of July - Dinner at Santa Fe @ Stewords Riverboat

"Santa Fe @ Riverboat is a most interesting venue to enjoy a meal as it offers the dining on a ship experience without actually having to charter the entire ship. Docked at the Marina South Pier, its history goes back to 2001 when it first berthed at Sentosa from 2001 - 2006. The sight of a lone brightly lighted steam ship is hard to miss and staff greet you amicably at the door. The interior is simple and exudes homely comfort through the use of wood and a low ceiling. There is even a piano at one corner for proficient/aspiring pianists to tinker with" http://www.riverboat.com.sg/

18th July - My First NDP Parade

Mummy's company gave her tickets to National Day Parade rehearsal. She decided we all go as a family since this was our first time going together to an NDP. She even prepared burger for me as dinner but instead I choose Macdonald's french fries over her creation. Overall it was a well spent evening with lots of excitements for me. However poor Daddy had to carry four goodies bags and Mummy had to bao bao me to walk back to millennium after the event where we parked our car. Both of them were fully exhausted...

28th July - A Day at Sentosa

Today Daddy and Mummy was on leave and we headed to Sentosa. First we visited the Tanjong Beach as it was a more quiet beach compare to other beaches in Sentosa. After that we took a short monorail ride to have our lunch at a Subway restaurant. From there we took another ride but this time was cable car to Mount Faber to meet Uncle Desmond. Thanks to him for the complimentary ride and also the discount card he lent us so that the rest of the discovery visit was free. After we departed Mount Faber, we took cable car back to Sentosa to continue our outing. We took a ride at the Tiger Sky Tower before proceeding to the Underwater World again.
