Christmas came and went..enjoyed the numerous gatherings with friends and families...i tink i wun ever want to spend Christmas overseas...unless its with family..=) can see that Thad enjoys himself oso, though he's exhausted from gg out every weekend...*oops*
It was a nice break for us when we went to MBS for a 2D1N staycation, celebrating our 5 year of getting tgt...It was tiring in the sense as we brought both families to tour the skypark for free and also looking after thad..but thumbs up for the place and their service...will def be back when i have more money! haha....
That said, my 2011 resolutions are simple this time round...just 2...yup...
1) to Save money...for the new house and hopefully for another child
2) to be in good health. I tink i need major changes in my lifestyle so that i can nurse myself back to health....so....bye Ronald, bye Cola.....i will miss you guys!
Wishing one and all a Merry Christmas and have a lovely 2011!
~Thanks B for the wonderful Splurges on me....~

Its Dec...
Many will agree how fast this year has past....As we prepare to embrace the new year in a few weeks back, just take a moment to reflect on whether you have fulfill your new year resolutions? And you can start to think of new resolutions for the new one.=)
As some of you know, this year was not that eventful for me...sigh..but of cos, we must still count our blessings as God allowed things to happen for a reason. Hope that the new year will bring much joy and blessings in my life and hope that God will continue to teach me to become a better servant for Him.
Looking forward to the numerous Christmas dinners and celebrations with friends and family. How i love Christmas....always give the warm fuzzy feeling that is always undescribedeble. And with the irratic wet weather, sometimes when i close my eyes, i can imagine snow fallin beside me...Hee...
One highlight of Christmas is the shopping for presents! With 3 weeks more to go, i better buck up and finish my gift list. Hee...Its Thad's 2nd Christmas and boy, this year, he have a lot of activities lined up for him in dec, starting with an excursion to Science centre tml, CS christmas party next week, babydisco at zouk ( cant wait! ) Will update more of his numerous shingdings!
And before i forget.....CLARENCE CHAN.....help put up the tree! its too heavy for me to set up alone!!!! *Grinz*
Have a lovely time prepping for Christmas peeps! =)

The Wonders of Motherhood
A catch up with Kuan yesterday at Darilyn's 1st mth inspired my post today....
He was asking me how was motherhood so far and i told him in one word - GREAT!
Yup, so far, the pros have outweigh the cons in SO many ways....i told him i dun mind not clubbing, not gg to the beach etc as all these are not that impt anymore...=)
Thus, i have complied 10 points to show how motherhood changed me, the benefits of being a mum and how much i have been loving this journey so far....
1) Its more him than me....A kid will wash away any self-centeredness you have inside you. You will just become this selfless person who will do anything for the well-being of your baby.
2) Patience is a virtue...and you will have it when you are a mum...
3) You will just become this ridiculous person who gladly spend any amount (within your limit) if it benefits your baby - yup...$50/lesson to stimulate Thad's brain; $20 feeding bowls to teach him how to self-feed...
4) As mention above, all the things which you used to do before will seem not as important as your child - going on holidays/sun tanning on the beach etc...
5) you will appreciate your mum much much more. You will come to understand the reasons why she forbid you to do stuff last time.
6) Nothing beats your child's smile/hug/kiss after an end of a Loooooong day at work. Its priceless...
7) The joy of seeing your child reach their individual milestone - taking their first step; speaking their first word...Priceless again...
8) You become more organised in your life - Baby eats every four hours. Diaper bag must include XXX, YYY and ZZZ....nuthin less....
9) You relive your childhood all over again! Gg to the zoo, watching disney shows, hearing to nursery rhymes....ok, i know for some ppl, they dislike all this....B always tell me that he feels that i enjoy watching the shows more than thad! =p
10) This reason is cater more towards me...another reason to shop! I trawl Kiddy palace and other baby shops more to find cute stuff for thad, other than practical stuff that he needs. =)
So there you go...10 points on why i like being a mum so much....of course, there are so so much more...If God is willing, i would like to be a mum once more...=)
Disclaimer:
-Nope, i didnt take any money from the govt or MCYS
- Mums to be must also be prepared in the tiring part - nite feeds, changing baby's diapers etc...but hey, all these are nothing as compared to the joy you find in them..
And Jan, this post is also dedicated to you...! A Europe baby? hee...
And KC, dun forget abt me when in europe ya...my shoe size is 7.( Jan can show you which brand and colour) thank you very much....*winkz*

Its definitely not a gd feelin when u go back to wrk on a Monday after a looong weekend..To make things worse, B is on duty this week, which means he needs to be at wrk at 8am...and i need to feed/dress/fetch Thad to sch all by myself...=/ But thank God this week is another looong weekend..hee...
How time flies, its gg to be year end soon when we bade 2010 gdbye..Looking forward to Christmas, my ever favourite season of the year. =)
So happy that my bdae fell on a Thurs this year..i practically celebrated it for 4 days ( self-declared bdae celebration) and which bb and thad must abide. Ha...it was eating and shopping these 4 days! ha..but i guess the shopping part is more for our new hse. Yup! We have bought our new lovenest at sk, just opp my mum's flat and we will move in approx mar/apr next year.
God really blessed us with this flat...We started looking for flats for abt a mth but many did not fit into our criteria. We finally found one, offered the price and was accepted by the owner. However, at the very last minute, they changed their mind. B and me were very disappointed! We dun understand why and i kept hounding the agent after that to ask whether the owner is still interested. Ha...but meanwhile, our agent brought us to see other flats. She brought us to see one which is opp my mum's. Layout is EXACTLY the same as my parents. THus it was like gg back to my old hse. However before we cld offer, we were outbeaten by another couple. Darn....2nd disappointment in hse hunting!
Anyway to cut the long story short, bcos of the new ruling by HDB, the new owners forfeited the flat and our agent quickly called us to tell us of the gd news and we then quickly rushed down with our chq book and this is how we became the proud owners of the flat. =) Many plus points for us in buying that unit ( though price is a tad high)...near my parents, near wet market and compasspoint, within 1km of most schs in sk and lastly its near the 2 expressways. Thank God for his intervening....When we simply cant understand why the 1st unit owner changed their mind, now we are glad they did..=) God is really good!
So now, we are busy looking for suitable IDs so that we can start our reno when we collect our keys...AND also busy buying hse stuff...haha...i called my mum to ask her whether i can put some of the new stuff we bought at her place and she agreed. Hee..cos it has been piling up in my living room..=/ THough its fun buying hse stuff, but yet again, im so not used to spending and spending every week! LOL...BUt at least its for a valid reason yea...=p

Thank You
To all the bdae wishes that was sent thru and of course all the pressies received...

Laid there til 9am which is our agreed waking up time...to get ready for US! Which is Universal Studio by the way...not USA! which my bro really tot i was gg when i sms him...-_- B said that he didnt know US stands for Universal Studio too...i told him that i understand why he dun get it cos he's so much older...but my bro is only 2 yrs older than me...-_-
Prayed hard for gd weather and boy, i REALLY got it. It was SO SO SO freaking hot today! I tink thad is darker although i religiously sprayed sun block lotion on him! *oops* Really had fun at US. Surprisingly its really that nice...Initially i tot that the US in SIng wun be that great cos its so small and since i visited the Jap one, it shd be much much worse..but many of my friends/colleagues came back with raving review with US that i was so raring to go...ha...aniwae, though its small, the place is done up nicely and the feel is very gd! =) We enjoyed it so much that we converted ours to the annual pass! hee...

Thanks B, for sponosring my US spree today...=p BUT, i didnt get much stuff la..haha...Dinner plans at HRC hotel was shelved due to the fact that we were so full and that we were so tired out from the heat..B even thanked me for helping him save money...ha

2months+ had just passed since i last blogged..Been super busy with work and of cos changes in my life..
Thad had turned 18mths couple of weeks ago and we decided to switch him to the childcare centre nearer my place so that i can move back and hence have more pairs of hands to help look after Thad. The move was not easy as it seems as Thad was already used to his infantcare. He cried buckets again in his new school, but this time B was there to hold me up emotionally. My parents were also very sad about thad's move cos this means that they wun be able to see him on a daily basis as what they have been doin so since his birth. I had to hold back my tears when my father bade Thad gdbye..and im sure he feels the same way too...=(
Moving back home sure have its perks. B, my FIL ans SIL helped to take care/play with thad and i can have more stuff to pack my stuff or just have that bit of rest after work...Thus, im not as tired as before and so far, no sickness this month! *cross fingers*
Anyway, must be wondering why im blogging in the morn on a weekday. Nope, not from the office,but frm home. Poor Thad, had this viral fever for 6 days! It was a heart-wrenching and stressful period for us. Rushed him to KK emergency when his temp hit 39/40 twice! but still no outcome and they just say the same thing, this usually last for 5 days...-_- Monday came and we decided to bring him to see his PD which was not open during weekends. Gave antiboitics and thad is finally ok now. hopefully the fever wun come back again....Its really tiring as we set our alarms every 3 hrs to check on Thad. Really scared that his fever will just shoot up in the middle of the nite! And the frustrating thing is that Thad refuses to eat his med, get his temp checked and getting sponged. He threw his temper whenever we do so and we had a hard time placating him. Wonder where he got his temper from!!! =p
But watever it is, his getting back to his normal self is our upmost importance, no matter how tired/frustrating we are. We will definitely do everything to the best of our ability to see him better...=) I was telling B on the journey home yesterday how this year is so not a gd year for us as so many things happened! He told me something that struck a chord...How can i be ready for another when im not strong enuff for something i have now? Which is quite true...everytime when Thad gets sick, i sometimes will just break down in tears and desperation. Guess God is building up my character day by day and showing me the reason for His decision. B asked me why i keep questioning God's decision? Well, its hard not to do so as im like constantly reminded of what i had lost. Guess i need to have more faith, as our Good God makes All things beautiful in His time. Im sure when the time is right, he will reveal to me His sovereign plan for me. =)
For now, i just pray that i will not be too sadden when i am reminded of the incident and will try to move forward in my life. Sometimes i will just break down at its 'anniversary' or when i think of its milestone...sigh...i really need to become stronger and yes i can! Thanks to B who has been most supportive to me and will not snap at me when i kept asking 'Why?' everynow and then..=)
On the work front, it has been crazy as the weeks pass...my new coll just resigned last week after 3 months here...and nope, im not the evil colleague if you are having these tots...i guess some things are not beyond our control. Its gg to be stressful months ahead again! =/ but i fret not cos God is with me...=)
Turn your eyes upon Jesus...
Look thru in His wonderful face
And the things of this world will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace...
Just 4 simple sentences in a song and it Always touches my heart whenever i hear it....
"For i know the plans i have for you, " declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Had a short break to Genting with my parents, aunties, uncles and THad! His first overseas trip! It was really a challenge starting with the packing of luggage. I was so afriad that i missed out something! And yes i did - i forgot to bring his toothbrush and toothpaste! Thank God my mum brought! hee...our luggage was so big - we had 3 personal bags, one huge luggage and a pram! The transportating of the luggages are real tiring! not to mention a 10kg thad...-_-
Thank God Thad slept most of the journey to and fro..and once he's awake, he cant sit still at all! He kept climbing up and down, wanting to see the people behind and kept wanting to hold our watches/specs and then throw them on the floor! And really thank God that he did not poop thru the journey. Hee...
It was a good break for both B and me admist what is happening in our life now. We didnt really explore the theme parks, but went shopping ( B bought a lot of stuff, me?? NIL ), eating and sleeping. Ha..We even went to play at the arcade - those tickets one where we accumulated to exchange for a England tissue box holder. =) Managed to watch the finals of the WC where Spain won ( Yawnz...) seems like the team that i supported during this WC kept losing one by one..B said lucky i didnt bet. HA...tHAD really enjoyed himself thruout the trip. He kept smiling and playing with my family. Guess he really liked being in the centre of attention. My aunties and uncle entertained him greatly and yes, he entertained back by blinking his eye at them, tilting his head and popping his eyes ( yup, his new funny face trick). He also enjoyed walking here and there. I guess once they learn how to walk, they disregard all boundaries! He kept walking up to strangers and smile at them, kept eh-ing ppl machiam its his best frens..-_- sometimes i really duno where to hide my face! HAHA...
One conversation that we had whereby B was stumped:
Me: Should i wear my wedding band to Genting?
B: Wear la, nm ma...
Me: But have diamonds on it ma...scared dangerous...Wat if i kana robbed?
B: Wun la, the diamonds so small...
Me: Ya, NOW THEN YOU KNOW!!!!
B: ..........
Back date to 22nd June.....
Sorry i had to let you go..I simply have no other choice.....
~Maybe, just maybe...i have got it all wrong...and somehow im sick of arguing for what i believe in. Im just so tired...~

A Walk Down Memory Lane...
Saw YL status on fb saying do you remember what you are doing 10 yrs ago? I paused and mused...10 years ago, i was at the tender age of 16, coming to 17...Starting uni at SIM i guess...so young then and my, how things changed! To recap my memories, i went to log into Friendster ( yes, this virus-infested social network is still alive) to find my blog.
Spent the whole afternoon reading my past entries starting from 2005! Besides the change in partners, my lifestyle pretty much changed a lot. With Thad in tow, i can hardly plan an outing to one of my frequent haunt - sentosa...or clubbing so to speak. When i read about my clubbing entries, i cant help but chuckle to myself. Clubbing with Rozi and peeps are real fun! They are one humorous bunch! haha...
I miss hanging out with hc and the guys from sec sch too. Speaking of which, hc has relocated to HK to wrk. Will miss you babe! One less fren to meet up! =( Remember to email mi on mon k...! =) The guys oso MIA for a while le...duno what they are up to...but w/o hc, dun tink i will meet up with them! haha....
Sometimes its hard to believe that time passes so fast! And how things have changed! But im not complaining...Looking at my life now ( apart from what is happening now) , im grateful for a husband like B and a son like thad...I was watching Toy Story 3 yesterday online ( loved it so much btw) and there was this scene whereby Andy was leaving for college...his mum said to him - How i wish i can always be by your side. After hearing this, i turned to Thad ( who fell asleep halfway thru the movie!) and said the same thing to him, which C retorted at me, saying that im silly cos Thad will grow up and get married one day. But Yeap, til that day comes....=p
Aniwae, i wonder how is Thad coping at the infantcare. When i dropped him off just now, he was crying buckets! So heart pain to see him lydat. His eyes were like speaking to me - Mummy, why are you leaving me here? Haiz...so heart wrenching! But his cries show that im no 1 in his heart right? Show that he cant bear to leave me rite? Hee...Hope he can adapt soon! Jia you, my darling!!

Sometimes its hard to believe that time passes so fast! And how things have changed! But im not complaining...Looking at my life now ( apart from what is happening now) , im grateful for a husband like B and a son like thad...I was watching Toy Story 3 yesterday online ( loved it so much btw) and there was this scene whereby Andy was leaving for college...his mum said to him - How i wish i can always be by your side. After hearing this, i turned to Thad ( who fell asleep halfway thru the movie!) and said the same thing to him, which C retorted at me, saying that im silly cos Thad will grow up and get married one day. But Yeap, til that day comes....=p
Aniwae, i wonder how is Thad coping at the infantcare. When i dropped him off just now, he was crying buckets! So heart pain to see him lydat. His eyes were like speaking to me - Mummy, why are you leaving me here? Haiz...so heart wrenching! But his cries show that im no 1 in his heart right? Show that he cant bear to leave me rite? Hee...Hope he can adapt soon! Jia you, my darling!!

Its not easy...
When life throws challenges your way..
LAst week my life was literally turned upside down..with 2 huge pieces of bad news, adjustments to be made in my life and just desperately in need to keep my sanity in place.
One of the bad news was that my mum cant look after Thad le bcos she needs go thru a major op and hence needs some time to recover. I took about 2 days to search for a infantcare, repeating my urgent situation in every phone call. So for those preggy mummies who intend to send yr child to infantcare, pls be more kiasu abit and call them up to be placed on waitlist early! I was quite shocked in the low supply of infantcare in Singapore! Thank God one infantcare just opp my parents home is able to accomodate thad. My only inconvenience is that i have to stay at sk for the time being...Have to lug my stuff back again. But i guess we have to take things one step at a time...
Thank God that my mum's op was a successful one. Hope she will recover her strength back soon! I have been at home for a while and this made me more appreciative of what my mum done, taking care of thad these 15mths...its not easy! And i tink it will be a while before i can easily meet frens, catch a movie after work...But wells, this are the little sacrifices i need to take..
For myself, im slowing accepting reality, knowing its not easy...Wish to quickly move on in my life and hope that whenever this topic is raised, i can easily share w/o having tears in my eyes or having a heavy heart.
Im finally gg back to wrk next monday...think in the month of june, i only wrk for 7 days? Haha...Many changes in work and i hope i can cope and adapt to the changes. Sigh..
England is out of the WC, with another controversial disallowed goal...!#$!@#$!@!$ I was jumping on top of my bed again when Lampard scored the 2nd goal but was reduced to tears when it was disallowed! Stupid kelong referee and linesman! It could have seriously changed the game! But haiz..another 4 years ba!

My Life So Far
Whee...what a roller coaster ride my life was the past few weeks, or should i say months...Drastic changes in work, relationships, life etc made me lost for words...Energy level has been a dangerous low and immune system has taken a huge beating!
Thank God that He has always brought us thru this difficult period. Though some things are still left unsettled, we have the faith that all are in His hands...
Supposed to attend 2 weddings last last week but only to attend 1 due to our sick family. =( Really felt guilty not able to help out as promised at Rozi's wedding. Actually i didnt do much at Jan's wedding as well! So sorry Jan! But yr wedding was beautiful and KC was crappy as usual! haha....Almost rolled on the floor laughing at his Thank You speech! Cant wait to see yr Maldives photos!!
WC season has started and my, am i glad that we subscribed to it cos apparently the timings of this WC arent so bad! Managed to watch most of the matches...=) Once every 4 years, B and me will come together as a couple to support the same team - England!
Instead of sitting at one end of the bed, We huddled tgt and watch the match..
Instead of hurling insults at each other team, we teamed up to hurl insults at England's opposing team.
Instead of one black face and one happy face at the end of the match, its either 2 black faces or 2 happy faces...=)
But sad to say, the team has disappointed us AGAIN! And i cld think of some reason why...
1) The key players are made up of arch rival teams - Chelsea and Man Utd. Can you imagine they cant wait to tear each other up for 7-8 mths before and now they must work tgt in a team???
2) The line up was crap...Why the-cannot-seem-to-score-striker-Heskey is still in the first 11 is more baffling to me as why Singapore cant make it for WC 2010.
3) Players like Short-but-good-winger-Joe Cole is left on the bench is like watching the WC on your 24 inch TV in your bedroom instead of your 42 inch TV in the living room.
4) Capello has this irritating habit of only letting the players know who is in the starting line up minutes to kick off and thus made players like butter finger Robert Green feels like butter thereafter. Poor him, he can defintely get a early retirement after this WC.
5) England do not have a steady goalie. All 3 goalies are known to be Green in the game ( forgive the pun) and can you imagine their only hope is on David James now? Its like saying we are counting on Singapore to enter WC 2014.
6) The jabulani ball.. Yes, that ball causes Green and other goalies to slip in the games.
That aside, i do admire some of the squad non-Man Utd players like Carragher. Other than Ferdinand, he's my no 1 defender! With both of them, the goalie feel more assured.
Looks like this WC is going to go down the books with the most number of upsets in the big teams like Germany ( orbi good!! Who ask you to criticize England! ), Italy, France ( another problem child) etc...Issit the Jabulani ball doing its black magic? I guess i should say the ball is round. If Greece can win the Euro in 2004...i cant see why North Korea cant win the WC this year...=)
Go England!!
~ Cant wait for Tues to arrive!!~

Its so sad...
When i see how the society is turning out to be..
im sure everybody heard of the phrase, 'Customer is King' but i guess some customers really took it too far. Nowadays, one has to be fierce and harsh, in order to have his/her way. Bank cant offer you a free gift cos you are not the 1st 100 customers, shout/scream and hey presto, you get yr gift...security guard dun allow you to board taxi there, scold/shout and bingo, you are able to board...
Why?? WHY?? Why must things done in this way? All things, all rules are set with a certain purpose. There 's always a certain protocol, certain procedure to follow. But when some jokers want to have their way, they just need to be the bad guy and suddenly all these so called rules are bent. Encountered this before. Same situation. I ask the person nicely for XXX, the person say no. Another person asked for XXX, kick up a huge fuss when declined and thus in the end, was given XXX. So, in the end, i was being penalised cos i didnt act like a prima donna? So in the future, i need to scold/shout in order to have things my way? Is this the right attitude we are teaching the younger generation? Haiz....
Same goes for a certain nationality that has seen a bigger presence in our country. They cut queues for almost anything! So, are we supposed to be like them in order to survive in this society? What happen to law and order? Or am i too 'straight' le? Once heard this comment from a fren's fren when asked why she is still childless...'Look at the world now, I do not want to bring my child into this ugly world!' So disheartening to hear this...and i wonder..how can we make this world a better place to live in...
yea, emo me...just that i experienced back to back situations like the ones above recently which made me so down...sigh...
'And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you'
Ephesians 4:32

-That im really Very tired
-That i totally lost track of time...What its May now??

'While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about'
Thanks Thaddaeus, Mummy Love you....
~Why cant you realise that im not perfect? I have my own limitations too~

Sometimes i wish i can have more snooze time everyday...so exhausted everytime im home..Sigh..
Just came back from a massage at spa infinity with B. It was quite relaxing, but just as i was able to fall into Lala land, the massage ended, which made me even more sleepy! What an irony..=p
Anyway, Man Utd is still in the running to win the EPL. Was so over the moon last weekend when they won Man City via a last minute goal. I tink Thad thinks im mad cos i was shouting and jumping like crazy in the hse when they scored. Then, as usual, some sour grapes ppl like the LIVERPOOL supporters who say that so unfair, always last minute blah blah blah. *roll eyes* At least they helped liverpool a bit by beating Man City ok....Then later in the night when Chelsea played against Tottenham, i had initially wanted to turn in as i expected Chelsea to win...but once i saw the 1st goal, i was hooked, line and sinker....i was wide awake and when they scored the 2nd, i was jumping up and down on our expensive bed, pumping my fists in the air and doing my victory dance. HA...Too bad Thad was sleeping, orelse he can join in the celebration! B was like shushing me as he was afraid thad might wake up and staring daggers at me for 'hurting' the bed. *oops*
After that, i finally decided to turn in as i was so sleepy. I even dreamt that Chelsea won 4-3 in the end. So afraid that the 1st thing i did when i woke up is to check the scores on my iphone. Phew, final score, 2-1 in Spurs favour. Yippee! Its getting more and more exciting...Im not going out on weekends night for the next few weeks le...=p
~Just go ahead and do whatever you want. Just dun ask for my opinions!~

My Beloved Team...
Watching how my beloved team lost to Chelsea and then got kicked out of the champ league was heart wrenching...And the most irritating thing is, Its not that they played badly or wat...
For the chelsea match, it was SO SO SO SO clear that its offside...stupid linesman didnt raise the flag and the referee allowed the goal...!@!#@!@!%$#@ I almost wanted to throw my cup at the TV loh...end up, Chelsea won and became top of the table...so irritating!
For the match against Bayern, which i didnt catch...the final score was 3-2 in Man Utd's favour..but due to the away goal rule, they got kicked out of the champ league. Again, i must stress that i have always hated the away goal rule. Its so not fair. So what if you manage to score at somebody's else stadium? It does not make your team more superior wat...BUt B always say home is always at a advantage as its the 12th man...but watever la...super sian loh...and to make things worse, the person scoring the so call winning goal against Man Utd was Robben, an ex-Chelsea player...kaoz...Thadthad...other than Man Utd, u can support everton, arsernal, which ever i dun care...but u cant support Chelsea...cos mummy hates them!! =p
Anyways, hoping that Chelsea will have a hiccup in the last 5 games. *cross fingers* Sigh, at least there is world cup in june...so i wun miss watching soccer for that long, since man utd is not playing in the champ league le...So looking fwd to next season!
On other note, Thad attended his 1st lesson at Little Neuro Tree last sat. Yup, enrolled him in enrichment classes to stimulate his brain. Was quite surprised that he managed to sit through the 1hr lesson and even concentrated on the activities. It came to a point that the teacher asked thad whether there was anything on her face cos thad was staring hard at her! haha..Hope our $ will pay off.=)

Im Back!!
Boy, am i glad! If kissing the ground when i disembark the aeroplane doesnt whisk me to IMH, i wld gladly kiss it a million times and shout at the top of my voice that....IM BACK!!
Being away from home for Sooooooo long ( my 1st time this long actually) was quite daunting, esp so when im a mother now. I missed Thad so much and i tell you, there were countless times where i just cry myself to sleep after talking to him. And there's this constant worry that he might forget me! But my worries are of cos, uncalled for. When i went to fetch him home, he crawled fervently to the door and he wldnt let anybody carry him afterwards, except me. And as our heartbeats sync, and his head fall on my shoulders, i know...i never ever want to be seperated from him again...until of cos, when he gets older..=)
Anyways, as i blogged earlier, it was quite depressing there, cos the wrkload was quite overwhelming and we wrked til very late everyday..like 2-3am..later on weekends...yes, i wrked on weekends too! Sometimes, tears wld just well up at the corners of my eyes while i was working. Til now, i still got nightmares of being in HK and i shudder whenever i woke up and sigh a sign of relief when i realise that its just a dream! Ha...
But the high side of this trip is that i really get to experience 1st hand how a major conference worked and of cos, i get to meet many of my overseas colleagues whom i have always liased thru emails/phone but nv got a chance to meet them. =) And as we got daily allowances, every morning, i cld just happily go starbucks and order a cup of tea and breakfast, which of cos, i dun do it in SIN cos its too exp!!
Managed to meet up with the ppl we wanted to meet. Even CH met us, although we fall in his optional part of his itinerary. HA....Met HC one day after wrk, and as i was like super stressed, i was in a spending $$ mood..We end up at Kate Spade. ( B must be thankful that we didnt end up in Dior or LV..=p ) and i bought a key pouch and she, a bag! Actually wanted to get that bag too, but i tink Mr Chan wun be too pleased abt it. He's like nagging constantly abt my rocket high phone bills and watever paper which have my name and numbers on it! Sigh....
The extended trip was actually quite tiring for me cos we went out shopping and sight seeing the whole day. And to make matters worse, the hotel we stayed in - Metropark Mongkok was pretty bad. Carpets were dusty and have stains on them, toilet has rusty parts. So off! Only enjoyed the last night, which was in Hollywood disneyland hotel. Even B caught the disney magic there. He loved it and he said that next time we can stay there, but at the more exp hotel! Yea...!! When i made reservations, i indicated that it was our wedding anniversary, and when we returned to the hotel the 1st night, i saw a bouquet of flowers, a tin of biscuits, 2 small towels and a card signed off by Mickey! Was so overjoyed by this happy surprise! =) How i wish Thad was also there...!!
Overall, we covered all the places we wanted to visit. Many thanks to this guide book that B bought. And the funny thing is, when i was flipping thru the book, i kept questioning B, why we didnt visit this and there the other time huh? Ha...But the most irritating part of this trip is tat we encountered many many rude service staff! It wasnt like that when we visited few years ago. This time round, they were so rude, so bo chap, give you attitude etc. Even when B spoke to them in cantonese! It really spoiled our mood totally! there was once i asked the sales girl for a new piece of the top which i intend to buy...do you know where she go and get it ? From the stack of clothes that were on display...i was like...HUH?!?! This one is considered new piece?? And she even gave mi a face! kaoz...quickly paid and left the shop!
Okies, enuff of HK...i can really go on and on...HA...
Forgot to mention earlier that i flew back the weekend of Thad bdae and we went to the Zoo! Thad was so cute and i shall post the photos and video of him feeding the elephant soon in fb. It was so funny, cos he refused to let go of the banana...and he and the elephant were having a mini tug of war...=p
~So tired...so so tired~
~Can gd people last??~

Overall, we covered all the places we wanted to visit. Many thanks to this guide book that B bought. And the funny thing is, when i was flipping thru the book, i kept questioning B, why we didnt visit this and there the other time huh? Ha...But the most irritating part of this trip is tat we encountered many many rude service staff! It wasnt like that when we visited few years ago. This time round, they were so rude, so bo chap, give you attitude etc. Even when B spoke to them in cantonese! It really spoiled our mood totally! there was once i asked the sales girl for a new piece of the top which i intend to buy...do you know where she go and get it ? From the stack of clothes that were on display...i was like...HUH?!?! This one is considered new piece?? And she even gave mi a face! kaoz...quickly paid and left the shop!
Okies, enuff of HK...i can really go on and on...HA...
Forgot to mention earlier that i flew back the weekend of Thad bdae and we went to the Zoo! Thad was so cute and i shall post the photos and video of him feeding the elephant soon in fb. It was so funny, cos he refused to let go of the banana...and he and the elephant were having a mini tug of war...=p
~So tired...so so tired~

Some people just duno whats the meaning of ...Im busy now.
Just this week, i encountered 2 people who pissed me off!
1) Encounter with a shop which specialises in trimming eyebrows and have a chain of stores.
Called up in the morning to book an appointment at 12.30pm.
Recept (R): Sorry, we are full. How about 1.30pm?
Me: Its ok, 1.30pm is too late for me.
R: Erm, hold on, someone just cancelled their slot, is 12.30pm fine with you?
Me: Yes, thats the timing that i initially told you...-_-
Reached there at 12.25pm
R: Sorry Miss, you have to wait for a while.
Me: 5 minutes right? My appt is 12.30pm
R: Yes 5-10mins...
Anyway, i took my own sweet time as i need to run some errands too. When i came back at 12.50pm, The therapist still wasnt ready! Then nm, i whipped out my iphone to fiddle ard. ( THank God for Iphone!) It was not until 1pm that i finally did get to do my brows.
During the session, the therapist, as usual, try to upsell their star service which costs 1k..I declined politely..She kept ranting on and on..Hate it when you go for such service and they kept talking non stop, selling you this and that, telling you you need this and that. So stressful! And its supposed to be relaxing!! After the session, she say that someone will help me draw my brows and explain to me more...*Groanz* i stressed to her that im in a hurry!
The guy came and explained...and while explaining, a therapist and another lady, which i presume is the sales manager, stood at the door, looking and me! So pressurising!! I told the person that i didnt want to take up that service and i took my bag and walked to the counter. The SM asked me what is my concern and kept saying they can wrk out a package for me, i can just pay a small deposit 1st blah blah blah...So pissed that i told her how unhappy i was that my session started 30mins late. She then showed me an unhappy face..kaoz...Im left with 5 sessions. Shall try again at another branch. If they still continue to hard sell, i will rather forfeit my package!!
2) Encounter with an irritating telemarketing person. (T)
I was so busy, even at 12+pm when this fellow called to promote their loans.
Me: Sry, im busy, what is this call abt?
T: This is to promote our loans.
Me: Sry, im not interested...
T: Why is this so? Our loans offer the best interest rate ........
Me: ( cutting short the person's LONG sales pitch ) sry, but im really busy now
T: I can call you later?
Me: Its ok, IM NOT INTERESTED!
I know they are doin their job, but i already politely told them that Im not free and im not interested. Hate the question back on why im not interested. Kaoz...no need loan means no need loan loh...still need to explain?? Besides, it irks me that they can just go on and on.!!!

It Came and Went...
Thad's favourite balloon...
One of the greatest moments in my life!
Ta Da! The cake...
Thanks for coming!!Referring to the Thad Thad turns 1 - Winnie the Pooh Theme Party yesterday!!
It was a busy and tiring day for us all. The day before, i made sure that thadthad and i have ample sleep so that we can be our freshest the next day. But Thad only slept at 12+am despite my gd efforts! The next morning, i tried calling him to wake up at 8.45am, but he refused and he turned away frm me...Fed up that i carried him up and the sleepy boy finally opened his eyes. Quickly went to feed him milk and bathe him..
It was not easy getting the whole hsehold to get ready, and we were running behind time cos still need to collect our cake. The cake box was huge and we had a hard time squeezing it into the car. When we rched, we quickly went to seperate the balloons and tied them up ard the place. Some ppl tot that the balloons were provided by the venue. Where got so gd? We spend $100 on them k!! ( Only to bring home 2 ..) People started coming ard 12pm and we started entertaining our guests...
Was very busy and my apologies if i havent really talk to u peeps or that you never get to carry the STAR..=p Thad was quite well behaved, i shd say..He didnt really throw tantrum when he was tired. He only screamed a while when he sat too long in the baby chair and when we kept taking pics..haha...it was quite over whelming when i was at the cake table and i looked up to see all the flashing lights and the crowd. Finally get my taste of paparazzi. Ha...
Was really pleased with the bdae cake. Though its exp..really felt its worth every cent as i received positive comments frm guests. I shall always order from them if i will to throw another party for thad.HA..Oh, he was so tired after the party that he slept 2 hrs straight when he rched home! He didnt even stir when we transfer him from the mattress to the playpen.=) And he learnt a new word - Balloon...When we asked thad where is his balloon, he will look at them! so cute hor....HA
From the bottom of our hearts, we wld like to say a BIG thank you for shanging lian and coming to Thad's party. Really appreciate it and also thank you for your gifts. *Muackz*

My somehow exciting weekend
Oh yes...It was gathering after gathering, dinner after dinner since Thursday.
Met up with Angel, Apple and Sharz on Thursday evening at Minds cafe at Funan ( My 1st and last time there!! ) It was a long awaited gathering as it was quite hard to arrange a meet up due to our busy schedules! In the end, Fiona and Karen cant make it...=( I went for a theraupeutic hair cut as i was early. Its been a long time since i had 1! Aniwae, the place was empty when we rched. Thus, it had an 'off' atmosphere. The staff there was also in a sian-sian mood. It was so different from the branch at Prinsep street! We played 3 games in total and i really enjoy the game - Squint. It really unleashed our creativity. Cant wait to play it again! =p
I was off on Friday and B and i went shopping at Orchard, with Thad of cos. We parked at Ion, shopped there, made our way towards Mandarin Gallery, then to 313@Somerset. Total Damage: one pair of shoes each and a belt for B. All from Pedro. All paid by me as it was my Vday pressie to B. =) Thad was so happy that day, and he kept blinking at me! ( very bad habit of him! ) And i kept telling him - Little Boy, stop flirting at me...I have a hubby le! HAHA...and B tot i was a bit mad! LOL...Oh..we met Rozi and Izat at 313! So happy to see them as i had not met them for Sooooo Long! It was their 1st time meeting Thad too! Cant wait for yr hen party in Apr!
We decided to take the train back to Orch as ur feet was hurting us. I was carrying Thad and as expected, nobody stood up to offer their seats to us! one year ago, when i was pregnant, nobody offered as well. Some things just dont change. Didnt mention this before, but the reason why B decided to buy the car is bcos i vomitted after a bus ride with him ( I was preggy at that time ) as the bus was packed and jerky and nobody gave up their seat for me! My mum was very funny..she say why dont you take pic and upload online?? HA..
Saturday was ren ri. Had dinner with my family below my block. It was a RC CNY dinner. It was quite tiring and loud as they had the geitai thingy going on. Thad enjoyed himself as he kept jumping away ( yes, my biceps are more firm now! ) and it was his 1st time seeing a lion dance!
Went to Fabian' s hse on Sunday. Finally get to meet up with the cell and it was great catching up with them! Thad had a fun time too as many ppl played with him and let him jump. He was quite garung with Fab's dog too. Jan asked thad to sayang Rusky but thad went to pull his fur instead and didnt want to let go! I was so scared that Rusky will bite him! And after that, Thad kept crawling towards Rusky! haha...Thad was so exhausted after visiting that he fell asleep after 5mins of leaving the place!
PS: I was almost knocked down by a car today! Upon rching Fab's blk, i was talking on the phone and i didnt notice a hole on the road. Tripped and fell flat on my hands. At almost the same time, there was a car reversing out. Had i fell later or he reversed quickly, i will be rolled over! *sobz* Really Really Thank God that i wasnt carrying Thad and Thank God that i was wearing 3quartz...and thus my knees only suffered a blue black...=(
PPS: I saw a bag at Kate Spade which i really really Luv!!!!! How? ( 2nd year wedding anni presie?) *winkz*

Thad's 1st Chinese New Year and our Vday!
Its Thad's 1st Chinese New Year and boy, the whole family is excited abt it. My mum bought his CNY clothes as early as Oct last year! I bought his shoes when i was in Malacca last mth, but sad to say, its a tad small. *sobz*
Technically, we cldnt pai nian this year and we cant give ang pao. However, closer relatives werent that pan tan and so, we made our usual rounds. Thad was at his usual quiet and blur self outside. Guess my headache will start next year when he starts to run ard. He was being passed on from one person to the next as relatives cooed and ahhed over him. And, as usual, questions like, so when are you trying for a girl came along. -_-
Brought him to River Hong Bao and he loved looking at the colourful decorations! Time flies during gd times and its back to wrk tml. B is off for the whole week and he offered to look after Thad by himself tml and Thursday ( Im off on Friday! ) My mum and i were like - Are you sure?? She even asked me whether Bb knows how to make cereal for Thad and i told her my worry isnt that, but is whether BB will REM when its THad's feeding time! LOL...
Aniwae, i guess shd be fine. I have supervised B today when he bathed and fed Thad on his own. Besides forgetting to rub oil on his tummy after bathe, the rest is A -OK! So ThadThad, i believe you are in gd hands..Nuttin to fear k! HA...
ok..now on my vday celebration..
As many know, romance became dead for me right after marriage. Maybe its due to us having a baby so fast or due to the increased wrkload on B, or just...ppl subconciosly took each other for granted. Was kinda upset over this as B USED to be so sweet in the past. Chocolates on my desk now and then, pressies presented in a 'surprised' way etc...For this year, as usual, i expect nuttin as B didnt mention anything and i didnt want to remind him again ( yes, i still believe guys shd take the initiative over such stuff! HA) So as i hear all my gal pals ard me arranging dinners, exchanging gifts, i cld only sigh in despair.
As the clock struck 12 and we wished each other Happy New YEar, B came to me and whispered - Happy Valentines Day! Go look in the drawer that you say smelled like Mothball ( ok, you wldnt want to know where) and i looked and i saw a small box, wrapped in Dior wrapper. It was a face highlighter cum blusher which is part of their limited edition Spring Collection. I didnt mention that i like it. Just that he knows i liked anything Dior and so he bought it to be on the safe side. *Grinz*
The next day, after coming back from a family dinner, i went to do my usual routine of changing thad into his PJs and went to bathe. After my bath, i went to check on Thad who was sound asleep. Beside him was a Tiffany paper bag. I thought he had taken out from my dresser, cos yes, hes able to reach and take things from my dresser! i went to check and my original one is still there ( YES, i finally bought my Tiffany Mesh Ring a few days back! A little pat on the back for the past year ) I asked B why theres another additional bag and there's where he presented me with a small envelop with a small note on a Tiffany card and thereafter the little blue box! It contains the pair of earrings that Jan and me were looking with adoration at last week when we are at the shop!
It was really sweet of him to surprise me lydat! Thanks Bb, for the arrangement. Love Ya! I still owe him his present btw...=p
I know i have been telling my closer frens how unsweet he has been since we got married. But before he did all these, we sort of had a mini argument the day before. I cant rem what was the thing we were arguing abt, but in the midst, i did lament to him on how he had slacken off the romance part for the past years..so i guess, i did actually hinted to him in a way! HA...
So to all couples out there, esp those married ones...Its really important to keep the fire going in a relationship. Small surprises now and then for yr partner means a lot. It does not need to be LV - expensive, just a card/letter or even small gestures like cleaning up the hse or for my part, helping to change nappies really go a long way. And hey, a little blue box now and then wun hurt. Do you know that not all stuff there are exp?!? Ok, shall stop here before i cook up another maelstorm. =p
Cheers everybody and have a tiger-rific year ahead! * Muackz*

Madness since Jan 1st!
Fuu......Let me first blow off the cobwebs off my blog....Havent been blogging due to fatigue and things happening ard me.
Things at wrk picked up after the holidays.Marketings, roadshows, upcoming conference kept us on our toes. Sometimes, i feel so overwhelm.I will always think, have i done this this that??...tomorrow i need to do this this that.Haiz..and i kept having recurring nitemares of my upcoming trip to HK! But, if God is for us, who can be against us? =) Im just assured and glad that God is with me.
Both my parents got a cough from their holiday at Hainan Island. Bb got it too, maybe due to wrk stress? Thus, the one with the lowest immunity wasnt spared. It started with an innocent cough which we all thought that he was trying to imitate us ( which he tend to do nowadays ), but then the fever and running nose sets in, the nitemare began. All in all, i brought him to see 3 doctors..to be precise 2 GPs and 1 PD. i should brought him to see a PD from the onset. Hate myself for saving this kind of $..cos seeing a PD costs much much more than a normal GP.
Nonetheless, to cut the long story short, Thadthad is now 99% recovered. He still have a slight cough, but he's much better le. I Still rem the days that he had high fever of 38.2 degrees, his burning body, his blocked nose, waking up a few times in the middle of night to check on him. It was a torture on me as i was already super lacked of sleep..B's coughing kept me up on weekday nights and weekends thad was sick. Haiz...but im glad these days are behind me. Really think my mum is a star. She also woke up a number of times in the middle of the night to feed thad med and to sayang him, cos he kept crying. Then during the day, she still went abt doing the hsewrk. Wonder where she gets all the energy from!
Thadthad is up to his mischievious self again..always jumping in the play pen , screaming his head off, laughing out loud, blinking his eyes at ppl. Ya, my mum told me that when she brought him out to hougang mall one day, thad kept smiling and blinking at the sales girl! LOL...
In the midst of preparing for thadthad birthday party. So excited abt it til some ppl commented that its like my own..haha...what to do...Its a milestone for us! Didnt realise that children's party got so much to plan! - goody bags for kids, decor, cake etc...Its always like a mini wedding! Thank God im tying up the loose ends now. Most of the major stuff have been taken care of. We spent quite a bit of $$ on balloons, cake etc...but what to do? cos
THADTHAD TURNS 1! =)
PS: My Malacca trip was a gd getaway. Only grosses is that its very hot there and that B fell sick! =(

8 days solely with Thad...
I all alone with thad (except for my FIL) for 8 days as my parents went on holiday. Its not easy man...i have to bathe, cook, clean, play with thad all by myself! Furthermore, he is SO SO active now ( tell u more later), that its so tiring just to keep up with him. I really need a boost in energy!! Besides this, i have drawn up a list of To-Dos at home for this week.
1) Change bedsheets
2) Wash CNY bedsheets
3) Wash Thad's clothes
4) Change shower curtain
5) Iron B's clothes
6) Shred my old bills
7) Tidy up my room
8) Call SP to check on our stove - wierd gas smell whenever we on it!
9) Research on our Malacca getaway next weekend!
10) Check up on HK hotels!!
Glad to say that i have more or less accomplish all the above except the last one. So hard to find cheap and good hotels in HK leh...any recomendations? Budget hopefully not to cross $150/night..I have so far checked disney hotel which B promised we could stay for a nite. So exciting! managed to find at 25% disc for early Bird booking!
Quite excited abt my upcoming trip to HK in Mar. I would say my flights are more or less confirmed.
7th Mar SIN/HK
11th Mar HK/SIN ( flying back for thad's 1st bdae!!! Hope BB is able to take leave on the 12th...cos i specially flew back and its yr son's 1st bdae!! Plan to take him to the zoo!)
14th Mar SIN/HK
26th Mar - Bb is coming up to find me!!
1st Apr HK/ SIN ( Im gona miss Thad So So So much!!!!)
My 1st time travelling myself and staying in a hotel alone! My colleagues have warned me that its gg to be a nitemare wrkin on the conference. Hopefully with me chiping in this year, the workload will be more evenly spread out. =)
ok, to tell u all how Thad is active and mischievious now....
> Thad took one of my bills that i happen to leave on my bed. He swiftly took one bite of it. I saw the little piece of paper in his mouth and quickly use my fingers to pry his mouth open to get it out. He refuses and struggle away, and with one gulp, he swallowed it!! And he gave me his mischievious expression - sometimes duno whether wana scold him or laugh..
> I was walking into my room to get something when i saw thad's mouth full of blood. I got a shock and quickly check where the blood cme from. It came from his 2 front teeth. He must have knocked it while jumping on the play pen. Did i mention he can stand up on his own in the play pen?!?!?! The amazing thing is that he didnt even cry when he knock his teeth..haiz...sometimes duno how to deal with him.
He is growing way too fast! And i love him to bits!!

THe New Year!!
Yea, Its a brand new year..
Invited Fiona and Gavin, newly weds Apple and Clive and Sharz and Kelvin over to our place for NYE celebration. It was a last minute arrangement and the scramble to come up with a food list and to order them was a rush. Ordering the food was tasked to me as i was the most free durin that time.Hez...And, as i need not come in on NYE, i have the time to clean up the hse..( YUP, Me..doin hsewrk!!)
Aniwae, the grp came close to 9pm, except for Apple and Clive who came early. We ate the yummilicious food ( but some came down with stomach upset..=( ), had a short wii session and the highlight of the night was the game of pictionary..It was Girls Vs Boys, 3 on 3. ( Poor Fiona wasnt feeling well and thus she left early...next time ya..)
We girls kicked the guys butts the whole 2 rounds! Easy Peasy! And we tot guys are more visual! I laughed til tears rolled down, til my tummy ached! We played til 2am which left us all so mentally drained! More tired than when i played MJ the whole nite! And ya, we played pictionary thru to the new year..My parents would be so proud of me - learning new words at the start of the new year! FIL was so kind in looking after Thadthad, so we cld concentrate on our game. Hee...
Aniwae, here are some classic moments...
Word to Guess: Wart
Bb trying to draw a foot with a wart on it, but somehow, the foot was very distorted.
Kel: Pineapple?
Bb: No
Kel: Pineapple!! Pineapple!!
Bb: No! NO!
By then, we girls were practically rolling on the floor and i told Kel to stop saying pineapple!!
Word to Guess: Spice girls
Kelvin tried to draw 5 girls with mic and music notes
Clive: Matchstick girls?
Word to Guess: Test Tube
Bb Drew a fat test tube and a distorted bunser burner below. And Clive actually shouted out bunser burner 1st!
Word to Guess: The 3 Wise Man
Kel drew 3 men and some feather - like features on them.
So, we named them, the 3 Bird Man! =p
I realised all the classic moments came frm the guys! haha...we girls had such mo qi that we guessed the words really quick! And of cos, some sour grapes accused me of cheating, of remembering the cards beforehand ( they think i v free huh! ), saying that we got the easier stack and saying us as abnormal. We can guess each other's drawings of eclipse, smoke screen, kilt, monday etc...
To conclude, WE ARE JUST THAT GOOD!
Cant wait for the next time to meet up so that we can play again..this time with Fiona and Gavin joining us. See whether Gavin can help boost the guys ratings...Hahahahah...
I will try to post the pics soon...ya, i know...pics since Christmas!! Soon soon....cos im on leave for 8 days next week!! =)
