We had a birthday bbq celebration for my nephew, Jeremiah, who turned 12 years old last Saturday. It was also sort of like a birthday bbq for my brother as well, whose birthday falls a day after his son.
We were supposed to leave the house at 6.30pm but in the end we left at 6pm so i was rushing out like mad. Plus, my mum wanted me to find some kite to bring over for the kids to play.
PS/ All the photos taken using my iphone 5s
Jeremiah only invited 3 of his close buds from school! One of his friends asked why didn't he invite more people and his reply was, "don't want lah, call so many people for what?"
My ah boy also joined us for this joyous occasion :)
If you want to look for him during a bbq, just go to the pit. He's always there.
J's cupcakes from cupcake with love. Specially customized for him with his name and his favourite Spiderman!
After that, the few of us - Bryan, my sister, sister's childhood friend Melissa, random guy (i think it's my brother's wife's cousin or something) and i played Charades and it was hilarious. It started when I downloaded the charades application on my iphone that afternoon so i wanted to try out :P Bryan acted out and the rest of us guessed. Only then did i realised that my sister sucks at charades hahaha. You know the movie social network(ing)? He had to act it out but he chose to act as a "bird" flapping its wings and we went like, "Fly" "bird" etc i couldn't remember. In the end he was trying to say Twitter. LOLOLOL.
I have more photos in the form of instax but i gave some to my brother so i'm only left with a few. We only reached home close to 12.30am.
Then on Sunday, we decided to have a celebration for Jeremiah on its own so i suggested to bring him to S.E.A Aquarium. Actually, the initial plan was to bring him on any other day with Bryan because i felt like i didn't spend time with him and i don't want to be a bad aunt but when i told my sister, she wanted to come along and somehow it became a birthday outing for him hahaha. Bryan didn't come though because he had to attend a wedding.
On the way to the SEA Aquarium~~~~
LOL. Looking like a small ah beng because he didn't bring extra clothes here. His shirt was also too short for him hahaha.

Before i begin showing you the visuals, i just wanna thank Qian Ying/Isabelle for helping me to get the tickets at a discounted rate! *blows kisses*
This trip was so intriguing for me because i didn't know there are so so so many different species of fishes and i also got to learn so many interesting facts about them. Some were quite wtf to me. I took photos of the description which i will show along the way.
He doesn't even look like he's 12 right?
Hehe smiling stingray
We also queued for the touch pool! I like it when they have interactive station like this. It's much more engaging than walking around looking at the attraction.
Can you spot Jeremiah and i?
Some sort of cuttlefish
I love this "mangrove". I don't know why but i think it's beautiful.
Next up, my favourite JELLYFISH!
Hehe so cute!
This jellyfish is magnificent. It's from Japan! I couldn't get a full image as it was always floating on top.
From Indonesia
Here's an instavid i compiled.
My beautiful mum :)
One of the wtf facts.
This is just....plain gross
Super cute fish!!!
Jeremiah, "Eh look like she wears lipstick leh."
Those black spiky things are the sea urchins.
Taken using my sis Note 2.
This was such a fruitful trip as we not only get to learn more about the marine life but we also took this opportunity to bond as a family. It's a pity that my dad had to work but i'm sure there will be many more of such outings to come.
