This post is so outdated!!
I took leave the whole of last week btw...
Monday 21st Dec
1st Day of leave...woke up at 8+ and cldnt get back to sleep! Darn...Wash up, packed my stuff and headed to sk. Played with thad til evening where i got ready for Suhui and ZY's wedding. Went to pick Bb up frm wrk and headed there. Jam in Orchard. ( Expected!) The wedding was at Copthorne, Waterfront, beside Zouk. Never been there b4 and was quite shocked at the grand and huge ballroom, stage and also the fab food! Too bad Zouk was close on a weekday. Orelse, can pop in..(Miss clubbing at Zouk!!) Aniwae, our table only had 6 pax!! Sad to say, my band grp has been dwindling in numbers. Guess ppl are just too busy with their own life..=( Aniwae, congrats to the couple!
Tuesday 22nd Dec
Woke up early A.G.A.I.N and headed to sk. Same thing..spent whole day with Thad.Evening time, we went tamp for some jewellery shopping as my parents wedding anni is the very next day. It was so crowded! Had a hard time finding parking space and i always hate the TM carpark entrance. Always chocked full of cars...Aniwae, Mum got a very nice ring for herself. *envious*
Wednesday 23rd Dec ( Start of Bb's Leave! Yea!)
We got up early as there are a lot of things to do today. Due to his very busy wrk schedule, Bb didnt have time to shop for Christmas pressies, and hence we need to do some last minute shopping today. Head to orch in the afternoon and ya, jam here, jam there...ppl here ppl there..Saw some of my frens too! Managed to get all the presents that we require and we head to sk to fetch thad to go to Apple and Clive's wedding at Merchant Court. Jam along the way and we were the last to arrive at the table. Thank God Thad was in his relatively best behaviour that nite.. He sort of sat thru at the high chair thruout the whole wedding..Phew! It was a nice wedding and there were a lot of polariad takings...which we wonder who it belongs to..the wedding couple or us? In the end i took back mine...Hee..Congrats to Both of you!
Thursday 24th Dec
Didnt go out during the day..just accompany Bb to toa payoh central where he went back to office to be Santa and i went to buy bread and log cake for my parents annual christmas party at sk.This time round, there were lesser ppl and i guess its an optimal size for a party...where everybody feels comfortable in their own space and we can mingle more...Jan, kc, limin, michelle and Daniel came over and we had a great time chatting, catching up and playing pictionary! ooh, i love pictionary...its so funny!! Oh..thad came as santa and he was so cute that day!!! Photos in fb..
Friday 25th Dec
Its Christmas!! Christmas is not only abt presents and food...its the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ ...and pls do not spell it as X'mas....cos you cant take the Christ out of Christmas. Without HIM, there will be no Christmas...=)
Attended the 12pm service. Was rather rushed as had to wake thad up earlier for milk, bathe him and rush to church so as to get a seat in the sanctuary. Thank God, there was space. As it was a Christmas service, kids are allowed to seat at the back and it was Thad's 1st time in the sanctuary! His eyes were wide open as he stared at the high ceilings and the congregation there. Kc and Jan took turns to carry him which 'lighten our load'. Hee...After service, we had our annual Christmas Lunch at Fish and Co...Wasted a lot of time at the carpark cos blur B cldnt rem where he place the keys!!Practically turned the car upside down just to look for it loh!!
Aniwae, was so tired after lunch that we head back home immediately...but Jan and Limin went shoe shopping w/o me..and they both bought 4 pairs each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday 26th Dec
Boxing day - This term comes about cos presents (boxes) are opened on this day..So its opening of presents time! This time ard, i have more presents! So happy!haha...BB is in a shopping mood today and we headed to Marina sq/suntec for some boxing day sales. It was rather crowded...He bought so many things that day..thad and mi???zilch...only see him happily shop nia. But Thad was VERY talkative that day! He kept PA-PAing away and i was so embarrassed as everybody turned and stare at us!! One sales girl even ask mi why is he lydat?!?! -_- We shopped til 11+ and we were all so tired after that...except thad...who slept at 1.40am!!!
Sunday 27th Dec
Its Baby Owen's 1st mth celebration today! Cute name huh....Future Man Utd supporter for sure...cos his papa support it anyway.HA...he and Thad are gona be such gd frens..=) Cant wait for him to grow up so that they can play tgt!
And thats all for last week..even blogging abt it makes mi feel tired! =p
Will upload pics another day..
2009 has been a fruitful year for me..Really thank God for his abundant blessings upon our lifes, for giving me a wonderful family, frens and of cos, thad! I have lost count the number of times i met with an obstacle and He intervened. And i pray that the people ard me are also able to experience His love one day...
Have a fab 2010 everyone!
~Hope Limin will recover Soon~

First visit to 313 Somerset...
I was early and thus i walked from the top floor to the bottom....nothing interesting...all the stores can be found elsewhere. What i found interesting is that Forever 21 is 3 stories high..! I guess duplexes is the IN thing now. Its a long time since i stepped into a Forever 21...and i saw many nice clothes, all under $50. The old me will just grab, try and buy. But the now me will see, look at price tag, sigh and walk off....haiz...i guess i deserve a pat on my back for resisting the temptation. HA...
We settled our dinner at Say Cheeze. My 1st time eating there. Food was so-so and pricing is still ok..We were discussing where to eat the whole day, cos we wana save $. Initially wanted to eat KFC, but it was full! Enjoyed the chit chat abt their upcoming trip to Japan (Really missed the place and wonder when can we go back there again..hee...);complaining abt the high yen/wrk;my reluctance to have 2nd child etc...
Thanks for the pressies and hope you like yrs too!
~When can i shed off the last 2kg?~
~B is very irritating today. Showed him the clothes that i liked at Forever 21 and he was like-You are a mum now, why still wear til lydat? Hmph....Im a Hip mum...OK?!?!?~

Thurs - Either Tamp/orch in the afternoon and taking the Funvee bus in the evening. This bus will bring us ard the marina bay and orch area to see the Christmas light up. So, praying for gd weather!
Fri - Either Orch in the afternoon and marina area in the evening, follow by SRC for dinner ( Little T's 1st time there..maybe can let him dip his toes in the pool.Hee...)
So ta-da, thats my plans for the next 2 days. Hope they will have a great time. Little T is becoming more interactive now and its more fun to play with him.=D
~When we feel that God is not answering our prayers, we tend to grumble incessantly. Noah waited 120years before the flood came and in the midst, he was ridiculed in every way. But, his faith did not waver as he patiently obeyed God. What abt us?~

That is.....
I need to do things/trust that things happen in HIS time...Did a bit of reflection of my life the past weeks as B and i were reading Rick Warrren's The Purpose Driven Life. It basically talks about what is your purpose in your Life and what is God's amazing plan for us. Indeed, God has a wonderful plan for each and every one of us, even before we were even born. But, the most impt question is, are you following God's plan??
There are many crossroads in our life. Major ones are - which course you wld want to study in uni/is he the guy for me?/Shd i have a baby? Minors ones are - Shd i embark on this plan etc ( ok, i cant really think of any minor crossroads at the moment)
I reflected on my own crossroads in life....and whether did i seek God in those...and sad to say, in most of them, i didnt. I just did the easier way out and thought that will work out for the best. Sometimes, i tend to rush things in life without letting God work in me, in His time. Maybe im just plain lazy...i dun like to wait...i dun like to take a long road when i know there's a shorter one...
So, in this coming new year...or heck...starting from today...i will pray to God to let me have a patient heart...cos as the song goes...
In His time
In His time
He makes all things beautiful...
In His time

This weekend is a long weekend for me...cos tml im on leave (yippee!) but didnt go out much as well...B is so lazy to go out now with Little T in tow..and furthermore, he's hit by the flu bug due to the cold weather, and he somehow always choose to self-medicate! haiz...Aniwae, we did went out on Friday night on a whim...We were watching the 7pm show and a scene was shot at the foodcourt in The Central. I commented that i have not been there for a while and B was like, ok, lets go! Ha...He's always this spontaneous as i can remember...
There was nutthin much there and i hate the never ending carpark! MAde mi so dizzy!! There is a cool chill out place there - Helipad...but i guess this lifestyle cant blend into my life now.=( We cut thru Clarke Quay to go to Liang Court. Little T looked so out of place there! Ha...and my, its still so vibrant there! Little T kept staring at the light decor and the mini water fountain at the centre. His mum looks as equally suaku as him. Havent been there in a loooooooooong time! I loved this kind of family outing ( B, me and Little T)...=)
Sat evening, met up with Cindy, XM, HW, Alina and the fashionably or shd i saw hip-hoppy Jimson...Went to this cool place called 15mins at Laselle...Liked that the place is so spacious that its able to accomodate Little T's 'car' . Food was ok, price reasonable...just that it was a bit out of the way...After that we headed to Mind's cafe ( this is always part of our itinerary if Jimson is ard other than the usual MJ of cos ) Again, Little T looked so out of place! It was so noisy there and i tink he got a bit traumatised. Whenever we placed him in his 'car', he will cry...but when we place him on his chair on the table..he started giggling..! haha...maybe he wan to be part of the fun as well!
The games were fun to play with and we really enjoyed the evening despite of the noise....we reached home rather late - abt 12+...and hence, little T only slept at 1am! (He slept at 12am the night before! ) but he woke mi up at 9am this morning with his babbling...duno he woo-ing what! haha...Will post more pics tml when im at home! =)
~nice catching up with old frens...can we have more of those? =) ~
~Congrats HC!!!~
~Somehow i have the feeling that Little T loves mi so much as well, when he always stare and smile at mi....and somehow that feeling warms my heart...~
Oh, to sidetrack a bit, brought Little T to watch the Sesame Street show at Compasspoint. Despite being a weekday, it was full when we rch and hence, we didnt manage to get a sticker for the photo takikng. =( Nonetheless, i secured a gd spot and there i stood with Little T in my arms for abt half an hr....but....5mins before the show starts, he fell asleep! and we cldnt wake him up..BOO! what a spoil sport....-_-

My Actual Bdae....
After that, we head back home and mummy went to do her usual hse wrk while i played with Little T and nua-ed...B only came ard 7pm to pick me up cos he was stuck with reservist. Then, he kept saying that we are late and they cant hold the table for us, which i find it wierd..cos he told me that he was bringing me to Pasta Brava and usually you can call and tell them that we are late what...then he disclosed that he actually booked the line at Shang for their 38%off promo...i was really taken aback! Haha...but i told him he really tui bu le...he didnt execute the surprise in a really 'surprise' way, like in the past! =p
It was my 1st time at the line and there were so much food! Yumz...but still, i tink i nv eat my worth...still cant believe that the buffet costs $78+++ before disc! so exp! but thanks B, for the meal..=)
~Maybe its just me...i have too much baggage..~
~Maybe what HC say is true...dun have too much expectations in life, then you wun feel disappointed~

Thanks to both of them for preparing the steamboat spread. Fiona kept asking me during the week what i eat and 90% of what she asked, i dun eat. HA...i told u im very simple one...fishball, hotdog, crabmeat can le...=p
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went sentosa with my mum and little T today. B is in reservist the whole week...=( It was a tiring and hot day! Its my first time bringing Little T out so far w/o B...cos its usually B who will help cart the pram here and there...today, i have to do it myself. Since B took the car, we had to take a train there. Its not so bad, cos we have direct train there...and it was Little T's first train ride! But he ah...always sleep at the wrong moment! when we rch Underwater world and when we rched the dolphin lagoon! We had to wake him up so that he can see the fishes/dolphins and thus, he was quite cranky initially...
Nonetheless, he enjoyed himself and he kept looking and looking at the fishes...He dun really know how to enjoy himself at the dolphin lagoon as he cant really see the dolphins. So i paid $15 for a photo taking session with the dolphins and brought Little T with me...He was not scared of the dolphin though he was so near to them..and he even touched it! so cute!! I uploaded the photos in FB le...
hope that the rest of my blk leave will be an enjoyable one! =D
~Its always nice to have a place to really call your own.~
~ I thought i was quite accomodating to the ppl ard me...but i was shock/devastated/hurt to hear someone say that i was not accomodating at all~

Shopping with the gals...and my early Bdae celebration...
Aniwae, really loved the stuff at Green petals. The dresses are about $70 each and the tops and bottoms are ard $30 plus. Gd value for money as the material is quite gd and it's suitable for work wear...The accessories are a bit pricey..abt $25 for a pair of earrings and $19.90 for hairband and rings..but yet again, the designs are so cute that i bought 1 of each...! Shall post photos of them another time. And since wearing them, ppl have been commenting on how cute they are...Hee
We quickly decided on our stuff and walked over to Tiffany's which was supposed to be the highlight of the day. HA....We helped Jan to choose her gift and were so excited about the cute charms that they have. I was so overjoyed to see that they are still selling the mesh ring...Its such an old but classic design! Thus, i have decided to earmark my next bonus for the mesh ring. *grinz*
Thanks gals for the gift. I initially thought that you both were gg give to me at soup spoon. Hee..But i really liked the way how it was presented....WHY LEI????? Only we 3 will know...*winkz*
~Hoping for gd weather on Tues...cos bringing Little T and my mum to underwater world!~
~Sometimes i feel like a fish in the water...I want to scream but i cant~

Foot Reflex!!
After a week of walking around in heels, my legs and knees were so suan! So i tot that instead of waiting in the hot car, why not i relieve myself of the pain. Told that to B and he nagged at me for having a frivilous lifestyle blah blah blah...
Hey, he was the one who introduced me to foot reflex in BKK in the 1st place..and he dun understand how tiring it is to wear heels all the time. Some may say, then dun wear heels loh...but sometimes when you r wearing a suit or pencil skirts for eg, its so funny to pair them with flats...besides, i cant afford varnia flats and all my flats are not that nice...=x One other thing he dun understand is how i always need to wait all by myself in the stuffy car for him. Haiz...aniwae, when i called him up at 6 and asked him whether he needs to stay so late...he said..why dun you go for yr foot reflex..i will come look for you later.
YES! *grinz* So i went for a relaxing foot massage and bought some stuff at Watsons. By the time i walked over to his office, he just came down. Just nice..=)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a hot hot hot day yesterday! Thank God i bought a cap for Little T yest...We went to PS to meet up with Apple, Fiona and Gavin to celebrate Fiona's bdae. There was no parking space at PS and hence we need to park at the Cathay and walked over! By the time we rched Manhattan's, we were all dripping sweat! Little T was in a cranky mood as well, maybe bcos of the heat! Aniwae....
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Sat we are gg to meet with Apple, Fiona and husbands for lunch at PS. Hope its not that crowded. Might pop over to Istana if there is no queue...then hc might pop by if we are at home early to see Little T. and we will be startin Little T's 1st swimming lesson in his very own pool! Yup, already set up and ready to be used!
