Just found out that my quota for my photos on this blog has reached it's limit. So the option they gave me was to pay for additional memory space. Normally I wouldn't mind paying, but their price plan was per annum!
20 GB - $5/yr
80 GB - $20/yr
200 GB - $50/yr
400 GB - $100/yr
1 TB - $256/yr
2 TB - $512/yr
4 TB - $1024/yr
8 TB - $2048/yr
16 TB - $4096/yr
Doesn't it makes more sense that I make a one-time payment for a specific amount of storage space? Why do they have to charge me every year? It doesn't make sense, so my solution was... GET A NEW BLOG!
So this is my new blog, CoCo Thinking Out Loud II.
It'a a little plain now, but I have to build it up slowly. So meanwhile, keep reading! Cheers!

Children's Day Party 2011 Part 1
Jolie's class was having a mini celebration today, and the kids are asked to wear their own clothes to school, so I dressed Jolie up into a pink fluffy princess. I think she loved it!
Since it's a party, I made some carrot cupcakes topped with my favourite swiss meringue chocolate buttercream frosting! Isn't it pretty!?
Almost all other parents brought snacks and sweets to the party. There was so much snacks, it was enough to feed the kids for a few days! All the kids looked so pretty! Since it was a special occasion, the teacher allowed us to stay for awhile to take some photos. The kids have so much fun dancing!
After taking a few photos, I headed home. It's so fun being a toddler, so carefree!

Little House Pets
Ever since I was a little girl I have a fascination for lizards. I would chase them down and try to catch them. I don't understand why people are so grossed out or freaked out by them. I could understand if they feel that way about cockroaches, they are gross and dirty and just, ewww... But lizards are clean and I love their smooth and cool skin! I case you're wondering, yah, I did managed to catch some, that's how I know.
Besides, lizards are great for your house as they eat insects! So they actually HELP you get rid of pest like ants and bugs! Why would I ever want to get rid of them? So I have about 2 lizards (I think) living under my living room sofa, but their eating habits have grown to become quite different from your regular house lizards. I noticed that they would come out whenever the living room is empty and start roaming around looking for food.
Looking for insects? NO! They are actually feeding on whatever bits of food that Jolie dropped on the floor! Somehow my lizards have decided that they are sick of yucky insects and decide to switch to bits of biscuits, cakes, rice, bread crumbs!
I have noticed this for quite awhile now, but one day, while my parents were over, I told them about my new house pets. Dad was so intrigued that he placed a few cake crumbs on the floor near the edge of the sofa. When we came back to the sofa a few minutes later, the crumbs were gone!
So one day I decide to lure my little pets out and try to take a video of them...
Aren't they adorable??? Haha... The only problem now is that every morning, I have to go around the living room, picking up their poop poop. Sigh, you think it's possible to toilet train them?

Keira's Full Month Party
We were invited to baby Keira's full month party, so we dressed up Jolie in her fancy outfits and off we go!
We bought this necklace yesterday when we were out at Junction 8 Bishan. Jolie didn't get to buy a pair of cute shoes as they didn't have her size. She was pretty upset when we had to leave empty handed. I totally understand her frustration of finding a pair of cute shoes but can't buy as they didn't have your size! Sob... Ahem, anyway, we thought we cheer her up by letting her choose an accessories at one of the pushcart stores. She chose this very cute necklace that looks great on her!
We have already reached the carpark of the condo when we realised that we didn't prepare any ang-pao! So we had to drive to the stores nearby to buy some. Duh... Anyway, we finally got there and we were one of the first guests there! After awhile Char's mama finally carried the star of the day to party, but like all full month babies, she's snoozing away.
Jolie's at an age where she's quite curious about babies, and she would mimic all the adult's reaction and make her voice extra squeaky when she said, "awww... so cuuute!". I think it would take another two years before little Keira and Jolie can play together, by then Jolie would be the big sister!
Char Mama and little Keira.
Yummy food! The highlight HAS to be the mini eclairs. It's delicious! I wished I could eat more, but we had to save some for the other guests!
Jolie loved them like mad! I noticed that at every buffet, there's always not enough eclairs or cream puffs! At my next party I'm gonna make a whole tray of them!
After Jolie had her fill, she's all pumped up and ready to go crazy! She had so much fun running around and playing with balloons. She was so envious of the people swimming in the pool, but I didn't bring her swim suit, so she had to make do with just playing with the water. Poor daddy had to make sure she doesn't fall into the water!
Later the cupcakes char ordered arrived and it was really pretty!
Jolie was super estatic and got to eat a whole chocolate cupcake all by herself. After that, it was almost time for Jolie to take her nap, but I really wanted to see baby Vivian, so I waited for Winsome to arrive with her little precious. When they arrived, I was amazed how big baby Vv has grown! I got to carry her around like a little michelin baby, and I think she was a little dazed. I was a little surprised that she allowed me to carry her around without her Mommy.
Jolie saw me carrying the baby and wanted to carry too! She shouted "MINE MINE MINE!" and stretched out her arms. So I asked her to sit down and placed the baby in her arms. Baby Vivian must have sensed something was wrong and started to cry the moment I put her in Jolie's arms. Oops...Haha, better give Winsome back her little precious!
It was way passed Jolie's naptime, so we bade our farewell and sent Jolie to my Mom's place. It was fun, can't wait for the babies to grow up so that the girls can all play together!
