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! =(
