A Glimpse into my life

Tra La La...

2011-04-12T23:37:00.004+08:00

Its those rare days that Thad cooperates and sleep early and i can do my own stuff...Usually i will need to 'hong' him to sleep and he will take a loooong time to sleep! turning here and there, jumping on the bed in the dark, sitting up and requesting for padpad ( its ipad actually) or even climb up and down! I really need to have lotsa patience to make him sleep and sometimes i can even lose my cool...sigh...hopefully when i moved to my new place, he will be much better. *cross fingers*

Speaking of new hse, yes, our hse is STILL under renovation...i really really wonder whats the delay! The number of things outstanding can be counted with one hand..but our ID say that carpenter is still doing etc...and last sat when they do, something will go wrong, like they didnt do a gd job, glass crack etc...so frustrating! Seriously hope that everything will go smoothly and that by next week everything will be A-OK! Cant wait to unpack the stuff that we bought! Heehee...=)

On another topic...many people have started asking when im planning for my next kid...Well, i guess its normal seeing that Thad is really 2 and i dun blame them for asking. But it tends to kind of start to irritate me when they asked more than once or everytime when we meet! No offence...but a child is not 'easy' to make. You think you say you want and you have it? I know some people are super fertile....but there are some out there who are not and who really really wants a child! Thus, spare a tot for their feelings and dun preach why is it so gd to have one ( unless they ask you ) or why is it so gd to have the 2nd one at a close age gap to the first. Dont you think we duno??

For us, yes, we are definitely planning and trying for number 3....( dont ask me abt number 2....) . Its not easy given both our busy wrk schdeules, taking care of a hyper active kid and what my body has been through. SO, ya, i will let the world knows when Thad will be a korkor k...

2011-04-01T10:15:00.004+08:00

Its been a loooong time since i blogged..always zapped out of energy after i fetched thad home and after cooking his dinner and feeding him and packing his bag and washing his clothes....! Am on long leave ( 6 days if you count the weekend). So tired out preparing for the conference. However, the stress and wrkload is nothing compared to last year when im in HK. They did ask mi to go up this year, but due to family commitments, i declined....even though its only for a week this year...

So anyway, im just taking a break to recharge, catch up on my sleep and reading. B took off yesterday and half day the day before as well but we didnt go anywhere, just to our new hse to coordinate the moving in of the furniture. No photos as yet cos BB is SUPER secretive of the new place. He forbid me to post any pics on fb....! Not til after the hse warming he says...-_- but anyway, quite pleased with the overall reno. Though its so long ( since dec til now! ) their carpentry and design were all given the thumbs up by us. BB really put in tremendous effort in this place...im the more chin chai one..and i know bb will handle it well! hee...

Having mixed feelings abt moving now...thad's last day at cherie hearts was yesterday and i have been tearing ever since! i feel so sad for him that he needs to leave his teachers and frens and familiar place behind and needs to adapt again. Sigh....the teacher and principal teared when thad left yesterday...they all say they will miss him and im sure thad will miss them too! how i wish he need not change childcare...but its not feasible to fetch him there from sk next time. Mon he will start his 1st day in the new cc in sk...hope he will adapt well and fast and Hope the teachers will be nice to him. It breaks my heart each time he cries at the 1st day of sch....=(

On another note, its bb's 1st day in another new dept today as well! Hope everything goes well for him as well...it will be a easier transition for him cos he know the ppl in the new dept! unlike thad....=/

Wed was our wedding anni...bb was supposed to be on half day, but he came home at 4pm instead! was so mad cos we planned to go out in the afternoon 1st..It was his last day at cards that day so i guess he needs to do handover, talk to ppl, clear up his wrk etc...but still i sulked like a spoilt brat! To cut the long story short, yesterday when we were waiting for furniture to come to our new place, i saw my clavi ( digital piano) arrive! i was shell-shocked! B had secretly went to make the rest of the payment last monday and arr it to arrive on thurs as a surprise for mi! ANd here i am, on wed, acting like a Bi***....haiz....

~Thanks Bb, for the surprise and for tolerating my nonsense at times. Happy 3rd wedding anniversary! ~

2011-01-24T22:45:00.002+08:00

This post is so outdated....but with the increased workload and looking after thad, i barely have time or energy left to blog...Besides, Thad will always get very excited when i on the laptop..same thing happens when he sees balloons, cats, birds, cars and the list just goes on...=)

Last week, my phone suddenly rang while i was driving to work in the morning.

'Drats', i thought to myself...either my colleague is not turning up for work/late ; driver calling to tell me somebody is late for meetings or someone from the office calling me to ask stuff...Anyway, a phone call in the morning ALWAYS bring bad news...But not this time..

As i see the name 'Dear' flashes across the screen, i smiled to myself. Cant seem to fish out my earpiece from the compartment *oops*, i quickly ans and told him that i will call him back.

This Dear is not Bb, nor he is any secret lover.....He's my puppy love whom grown to be my bestest bestest guy fren. Known him since pri sch...lost contact when we graduated and re-connected at sec 4 when he invited me to visit my pri sch. Thru out the 10 years or so, we consulted each other on respective relationships, go chiong tgt, study tgt, talk on the phone for hrs at nite etc....

He was basically my BFF! He was there when the Taiwan guy broke my heart, accompanying me on many KTV sessions where we just sing our hearts out and he and his frens will entertainment me with their silly jokes. He was there when my relationship with E started....asking me not to be with him. Haha....And he was there when the relationship ended...stopping whatever he was doin and travelling all the way to meet me.

However, we sort of drifted apart when i was tgt with bb and later when i got married and have Thad, we totally lost contact. Maybe the occasion calls/sms once every year on our bdaes? It saddens me when i think of it though, cos of the closeness we shared. But if you were to ask me if we two will be back tgt again, i will say No immediately. We will drive each other crazy...haha..cos

1) He's a super thrifty person and im such a spendthrift

2) He hates me wearing heels cos of his height ( abit taller than me) but i simply cant live without my heels...

3) We are both childish ppl in nature...
Once when i was wrking PT at Paragon customer svs, he called up and ask me how to go to japan. ( i didnt know who he was obviously) . After a few mins of asking him again, i then realise it was him! SO childish!! haha....

=)

Anyway, back to his call. I called him back excitedly after parking my car to ask him whatsapp, though i somehow know what is it. He was calling to confirm my attendance for his wedding. My 1st reaction was...Ah...so you are finally breaking up with me ah? ANd his reply was...you broke up with me 1st...=) and ya, thats how childish we are, but i enjoy every conversation we had...But im oso kinda sad...not bcos i dun wan him get married and stuff, but know that the drift between us might widen...i mean, i dun even know his wifey to be! and i KNOW all his past gals....

So anyway, i wish him all the best with his new chapter in life and hopefully one day, we are able to resume our usual conversations. And Yup...im gg to his wedding, with hubby and son in tow. =)

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...

2010-12-02T20:27:00.003+08:00

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

2010-11-07T22:31:00.002+08:00

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*

2010-10-31T23:39:00.002+08:00

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...

My hatch day went well...woke up early for no apparent reason. Maybe its due to my bio clock. ( so irritating right?!) Tried calling the 2 Chans up but to no avail. 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...

B was so kind not to restrict my expenditure that day...even to the extend of encouraging me..haha..i guess bdae gal have her perks! 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

Aniwae, am posting the pics in fb soon...Enjoy..=)

2010-09-28T10:54:00.002+08:00

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.
Jeremiah 29:11

2010-07-18T00:58:00.003+08:00

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...

2010-07-02T15:20:00.002+08:00

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!!

Its not easy...

2010-06-30T17:13:00.002+08:00

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

2010-06-21T00:21:00.002+08:00

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...

Somehow, the last glimmer of hope is so thin that if you blink, you might even miss it...

2010-05-10T13:49:00.003+08:00

Realised:

-That my personal time now is SO SO rare.

-That im really Very tired

-That i totally lost track of time...What its May now??

-That i have not been to places that i used to frequent last time.

To share this meaningful quote that i read in a mag one day...

'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~

We finally found this place! Its SUPER SUPER to the power of infinity ULU!Our date night...=)Main Course...Level 2 wings nia....and it already is spicy to me!When can i see my name up there? Hmm...

And you need an oven too!! Our cheese Lorraine laying inside to bake

Took some shots while waiting for our final pdt!

Finally! Nice to see and also nice to eat!
*Beams*The word is Proud! and a pat on my back! *clapclap* B loved it so much that he started asking me do i really need an oven to bake? The ans is YES!! and the most irritating part is, he kept asking where i bought this from!!!!

2010-04-20T22:51:00.004+08:00

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...

2010-04-14T00:20:00.002+08:00

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.=)

~Cast all your cares on Him cos He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7~

Im Back!!

2010-04-05T23:35:00.002+08:00

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??~

2010-03-16T00:44:00.002+08:00

Tired...overwrked....alone...depressed...

That sums up my feelings now. So much so for my first biz trip..=(

Counting down to the 26th where B is flying over!! And i miss Thad so much! ( Hope i dun miss his 1st Step!)

Some people just duno whats the meaning of ...Im busy now.

2010-03-02T23:57:00.003+08:00

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.!!!

__________________________________________________________________

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

2010-02-22T00:26:00.000+08:00

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!

2010-02-16T17:43:00.002+08:00

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!

2010-02-09T23:13:00.002+08:00

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! =(

2010-01-16T02:13:00.003+08:00

2010-01-11T00:34:00.001+08:00

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

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!!

2010-01-08T00:00:00.002+08:00

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!! =)

This post is so outdated!!

2009-12-31T00:25:00.002+08:00

Wanted to blog abt my Christmas week a week ago..but too hectic and too tired to do so. Its always the case of too many things and too little time..

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~

2009-12-19T14:58:00.003+08:00

It irks me to see parents who smoke in front of their child. Its bad enuff that they wana harm their own body, but to also harm that of their child....Its totally irresponsible!

First visit to 313 Somerset...

2009-12-15T22:38:00.002+08:00

Our initial plans of gg to Vivocity cum Mount Faber with Fiona and Gavin was changed to Somerset 313 due to conflicting schedules. Its the latest and last new shopping centre along the Orchard belt and we came to see whether it is a one of its own, or its just another photocopy of the rest of the other malls...

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?!?!?~

2009-12-11T12:55:00.002+08:00

Woke up today with a heavy heart..

Recalled and realised that i dreamt of the past again...

And gosh...i really hate it..but who can control dreams?

2009-12-09T23:09:00.002+08:00

Yea..im on 2 days leave! Wrk has been super hectic this week. Though i only worked for 3 days, it seems so long..Looking forward to spending time with my mum and little T for the next 2 days. And already, we have plans lined up...

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?~

2009-12-06T21:58:00.002+08:00

There's one very thing abt me which i would like to change for the coming year...

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

Lazy Saturday....

2009-12-05T16:09:00.002+08:00

Was v tired last nite that i slept before 12am...but Little T wldnt let me sleep...he kept talking away in his own language..i was so fed up that i switched off the lights. But even in the dark, he still continued talking..-_- But i guess he gt tired of babbling and went off to LaLa land...

We both woke up at ard the same time this morning...815am...so early hor...and on a weekend! haiz...Bb is away at a training at a far far away chalet til 6pm today...so, its a sianz weekend where we stayed at home...

But we got company! Hc and Kenny dropped by for a visit to play with Little T. Hee..hope u guys had fun! Little t is a tad cranky these days, cos his 3rd tooth is growing out..and its quite big! I think its really painful for him and my heart ache when he cried last night bcos of the pain. =(

~its so funny that something you wish for so hard in the past didnt happen then; and now when you didnt wish for it, it just fell right smack on yr lap.~

He will just listen, kept wanting to grab the hp and usually will not babble any of his language as yet.=p

3) He will have video conferences abt once a mth...
-When i miss him so much, i will msn my father and use the video function so that i can talk with Little T too...=)

2009-11-29T11:31:00.002+08:00

NOt been blogging for quite a while. days are quite routine nowadays...morn wake up go wrk, slog slog slog til 6pm, either go home to see Little T or go out with Frens/B...rch home..bathe...KO...and the nxt day begins...

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....-_-

Sther's WOW list of the month...

2009-11-14T16:11:00.005+08:00

-->Best Newcomer product..

Liese (pronounced as Lii-say) Bubble Hair color

Tried this out on a whim one day after seeing commercials on Tv and the adverts in Mag. The product was user friendly and instruction manual was clear. It never stains your skin or clothes after washing.Most imptly, it was fun to use! When you pump the dye out of the bottle, it comes out in a foam form which you apply it on your hair..simple as that! Trust the Japanese to come out with an innovative product like this! DIY is never the same again...=) My only main gross is that my hair keeps fallin..the instruction says to pile yr hair up while applying the dye...and maybe thats why the insides of my hair is not really coloured.

Do try it!

-->Best newly found shop

Green Petals ( mentioned this before)

Their stocks arrive from Korea every week.Stocks are limited and thus, if you see something nice, Ka-Ching it orelse, like me, you will miss out on a nice item. Their dresses are good for work and their prices wun burn a hole in your pocket! Accesories are unique but a tad expensive to me..but i guess, when you look at them , you will forget abt the price if you know what i mean. The only thing which i dislike is their small shop space! The staff told me that i can visit their other outlet at Far East and i immediately asked whether the shop is bigger..and they say no, its smaller! -_-

http://www.greenpetals.com.sg/

Here are the stuff which i bought the other time sans the pencil skirt which is in washing..

Best Label

---> La Senza

Contrary to what others think, lingerie sold there are not pocker burners at all. The price of a bra starts at $35 and panty at $15...I fell in love with the label when i happen to shop around for nice PJs.They not only stock nice looking lingerie but cute PJ sets as well! Their lingerie are made with cotton and are so ultra comfy! Membership costs $30 and you can get it at any store. The membership card allows you to have 10% off every purchase you made. Not only that, the membership comes with a discount booklet where there are coupons like $5 off with every $30 spent etc. The most impt coupon is the 50% off for your bdae mth!You can like stock up your year supply of Lingerie on yr bdae mth. I did...=)

Their Christmas sets are out now and they are so adorably cute!

http://www.lasenza.com.sg/en/plfla.html

Small Knick Knacks of the month

Chanced upon this at a stall at PS. The top one is for me, to put my impt Documents and the bottom one is for Little T, to put his impt documents. Bb refused to get one cos the other files left are with pics of pigs/ducks/monkeys...but also v cute wat....

Bringing little T and my mum to watch the Disney Christmas show at Vivo and Sesame Street Show at compasspoint. Duno who is more happier - Me, my mum or Little T...=D

the feeling is the same as when i went back after my maternity leave....

she bu de

Cant believe my block leave is over, but im glad im able to spend quality time with Little T and my family. Though sometimes there are conflicts, but i guess parents will always be parents. Thinking back, we went out everyday and contributed to our economy! Mummy said that Little T like me, was also on his blk leave, cos he didnt study for 1 whole week! HA...

These are the places we went:

Tuesday - Sentosa

Wednesday (My bdae!) - Rivervale mall to shop at daiso

Thursday - Explore the newly opened City Square

Friday - Rivervale Plaza for lunch and grocery shopping

Monday - Compasspoint for lunch and more shopping! Brought Little T to the library and made his own library card!

Actually there are more places to explore/visit, but we are short on time. hai...nm, there's always next time.=D

Shared with my mum that my wish is to be a stay at home mum..so that i can watch Little T grow up, which in my opinion, is priceless...so bb, jia you k...*grinz*

Gg to disturb Little T's nap time so that i can spend extra time with him and plant more kisses on him.Hee...

Didnt do much during the day. Just went to Rivervale Mall with Little T and my mum to walk ard and have lunch at Mac's. There is a newly opened Daiso there and we bought 18 stuff! Simply love Daiso for their small and cheap quirks. And the best thing is that they have new stocks arriving every week...so you can practically go every week to get new stuff! Ha...

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~

Finally visited Gavin and Fiona's new place last sat...Its a tad far but thank God we managed to find our way there though we almost got lost! Im nv gd at north areas like woodlands, yishun...The cluster of blks are well designed and there are things like bbq pit, exercise corner, a small track for the ppl staying there.BB kept saying its like a condo setting! Their hse is well designed and its really cosy! And i loved their toilet tiles. Its very unique and i kept complimenting them on it. Ha...

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~

Met Jan and limin at Orch for dinner and shopping last monday..We decided to have a quick dinner at one of my fav place - Soup Spoon so that we can shop more..Wanted to head over to Tiffany's straight away, but i wanted to show them the shop which i really liked at Wisma - Green Petals. Then Jan told me that she herself bought a dress there! So qiao...or shd i say..as usual..HA...

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!~

Found a new way to da fa my time while waiting for B to finish work on a Friday...

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....

~Happy bdae Fiona!~

After parting ways, we walked ard PS and later head to Istana open hse. It was still v hot then, but bcos Bb nv go there b4, we decided to go in and have a look see. Security was tight and we need to place our bags thru a scanner. Like at the airport! Little T was such a spoilsport. He slept while we were queueing to get in. And do you know when he woke up...? When we walked over to the main hse and was abt to go in. He was so happy when he went in, smiling here and there and i duno why...Ha. Aniwae, nuttin much and will most prob bring him back when he can walk so that he can run ard the big fields. =D

The whole family was so tired out...even Little T, who slept til 9.45am this morn!!

~Since thinking of it make mi feel more sad and disappointed. I shall blot it out of memory and nv think of it again.=)~

~What a weekend, Chelsea LOST, Liverpool LOST...man Utd....WON! Back to the top boys.....

More photos to come!

Social calendar seems to be picking up. Carlin came over to see Little T today. Ordered pizza and had a great time catching up and playing with Little T. He's so much fun to play with now! I really like to hear his laughter. Its music to my ears..=D Oh, and my mum told me that his 2nd tooth is coming out! so fast!!! He can bite really soon, so watch out ya...HA....cant wait for him to be able to sit down, so it will be easier to feed him, bring him out etc...

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!

Mon, meeting Jan and Limin for shopping at Orch..Hasnt do this for a looooong time and i know Jan is very excited abt it.Hmm..wonder kc is forewarned..hee...but he made a promise to her, which is so so sweet!! How i wish i had that promise too...but i guess the focus has changed...=(

Been kinda moody these days. Duno whether its PMS or i've been thinking too much or that ppl just simply changed...

Dun feel like sharing with anyone abt this, not even my closest frens, cos i duno where to start or whether its right that i feel this way...haiz....maybe i shd share with Thad instead...

I duno what is right or wrong anymore. Felt its right but somehow someone made me feel that im always wrong. How come?

~Tears just flow freely whenever i am and i duno how to stop them~

2009-10-06T10:59:00.002+08:00

Off yesterday and today cos Mummy went overseas with my aunties or as what B jokingly says-she ba gong and went travelling.Ha..thus, B and me took leave to take care of Little T. He was quite well-behaved as usual ( HA!) but he doesnt want to finish his milk! Haiz, major headache for me, cos he's already underweight. You can literally see his rib cage judging out of his body..there are simply no fats to cover it and he has no tummy at all.=( Going to kiddy palace later to see whether a change of a bigger teat will help. He has been scratching his ear of late. Hope its not a ear infection or smth! Sometimes its quite stressful being a mother. Once my mum tells me Little T is feeling a bit hot, i will call up every 2 hrs during the day just to check how he is. So my daily questions to her are, how is he/has he poop yet/whats's the texture of his poop/how's his appetite/is he happy? I wonder if my mum finds me a bore....=p

Aniwae, Sharz asked me whether i wana get a swimming pool for Little T. She's getting one for her gal.Its just like that time when i brought him for his 1st swim. I replied her saying its ok, cos my hse aint that big and i find it troublesome cos need to pump and fill/drain it of water etc. After replying, i showed it to B ..

Me:Wah, they even sell this kind for kids!
B: Interesting. Tell your fren that we want to get one. I want to get one for Thad. I will pay.
Me: Are you sure???
B: Yes, and pls print and stick this at the side of the pool-FROM DADDY!
Me: -_-

Thus, i told Sharz that we wana have one too...thanks gal for arranging! Aniwae, it looks something like this but costs so much cheaper. ( wanted to send you the link from FB that Sharz sent, but duno why my lappy dun allow me to access FB! irritating!!)

~My dream seem far fetched as of now...but im entitled to dream, right?~

My 2 cents worth and my recent happenings...

2009-09-28T23:15:00.002+08:00

Where shd i start...so many things..too little time!

There is just too much controvesy over the recently crown Ms World-Ms Ris Low. I didnt expect her English to be that bad til BB and me went into Razor TV one day and saw what the hoo-ha is all abt...and OMG....her english is really bad! its not even Singlish! Its just plain bad english..i mean..she cant even pronounce her course correctly! I thought there is a Q&A segment in every beauty pageant..i duno how she manage to get thru that and was even crown the winner! Now, to make matters worse, the press got wind of her criminal past and her crown is on the line.

I read thru the full page interview that the Sunday times held with her last sunday and i find her answers to be quite contradicting.

She said that
-She was disappointed that the press got wind of her criminal record
-->omgomg...she is now a public figure bcos of her win. Doesnt she know that you cant hide these kind of things?

-After that she commented on the bad press over her poor command of English. She said that the public expects her to speak the Queen's english
--> All course not the Queen's english..but to represent Singapore, we of course expect a decent standard..not boomz, rad, preens etc...*shakes head*

-She wants to retain her crown as she wants to be a role model to others that she still can make it even after her criminal record.
-->Now, if she really wants to be a role model, she shd come clean in the 1st place!

Aniwae, i really think she should brush up on her English if she is able to go to South Africa for the finals...orelse i dun think the ang moh judges will be able to understand her!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow is dubbed the wedding of the year..For those who live in the mountains, its Chris and Fann's wedding! The green eye monster in me resurfaced after seeing 2 epi of their love story on tv and reading up on their photoshoot in 8days. duno why whenever i see them, i will always relate them to my bestie Jan and her fiance, kc..both couples have pa-tor for a loooooong time;like fann, jan is very fair, have long straight hair, bangs, pearly white teeth and have high cheek bones. And both have doting bfs! =) Cant wait for yr wedding jan! hee...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im sick of anti Man Utd fans commenting on their win against Man City 2 weeks back..saying Owen's goal was a clear offside, that whenever Man Utd play, the referees are always v biased towards them etc...Frankly speaking, if they think deeper, its the linesman responsibilty to call an offside, its the refree responsibility to blow the whistle after full time. Will any player be so honest to admit its an offside during a game when the linesman missed it? So, if others blame Man Utd for being 'smelly', i think they shd question the FA instead...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Managed to have a short getaway to Batam last Friday. The resort was so much better than the one we went previously. But there is really nuttin there and we just nua, explore the place and eat! haha...but i miss Little T so much!! Kept calling back to hear abt his day..hez.. haiz...aniwae, i told B that we already reached our short trip quota for the year but is still short on our long trip quota...as usual, he has no comments..-_-

PS: thad..mummy and daddy didnt mean not to bring you to Batam k...and no, we did not take the $1k that the govt just deposited in our account..and there's really nutin to buy at Batam!

PPS: Thanks Limin for buying us so many things frm Batam and Bkk! Each of us have smth! She even brought back a whole box of mentos for me! hee..=D

Introduced 2 new flavors to little T over the weekend..

2009-09-20T15:55:00.002+08:00

-Sweet Corn and Pumpkin
-Brocoli

(He usually takes normal cereal/creamy banana porridge/apple and banana porridge..all from Heinz Bottles.)

Both of which i wouldnt take... As usual, he frowned at me when he had his 1st mouth..but after that, he soon became accustomed to the taste and seems to like it. =) THe color look quite gross though...it looks like his diarrhoea.. so u can imagine my tots when i see his mouth full of it...=x

For the brocoli, i almost gagged when i opened the bottle. It not only looks bad...it also smell v vegetable-bly!! i pinced my nose and took a deep breathe before feeding him..Erm, for those who duno, im a pure carnivorious, no veg for me..(!!!) Little T gave me his usual frown..and he..gagged at the 1st mouthful too! I have to betray my conscious and kept saying this to him...

Thadthad...Yummilicious Brocoli!! Yum Yum Yum~~

He frowned even deeper...i think if he could talk, he would say...Show me Mummy, show me that its yummy...-_-

Aniwae, he didnt finish the brocoli..He kept struggling in the end, protesting the yucky food. I wouldnt blame him too..it looks like swamp juice from Shrek's swamp! I bought another new taste-Organic sweet vegetables...wish me gd luck! =D

2009-09-18T13:11:00.000+08:00

No point in reminding...it just defeats the purpose...

Random happenings recently...

2009-09-12T15:55:00.003+08:00

Mummy is very biased...

M: Hey, i saw an advert in Young Parents promoting this brand called Babysafe mattress..you can go buy it.
Me: Ya, i know...went to check out the price le..$175!
M: I give you $ to buy...the mag says its good for babies!
Me: But it costs more than the playpen!
M: Nm...take my $ and buy....
Me: okok...see first k...

Haiz...i dun tink she was lydat when i was young! Brought her to ikea the other day and she was wooing and wahing at the baby cots. She asked me why didnt i get a cot for Little T instead. I say that a cot costs $300+ and we researched and found out that a playpen can also make do for a baby's bed and it costs abt 1/3 of a cot...And her standard reply was...aiya, you can tell me ma, i give you $ to buy....-_-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little T is 6mths old today! So fast...He's becoming more talkative and active to date, and its more fun to play with him now as he can interact more..hee..Jan, limin and kc came and find us last Wed at compasspoint...Went to soup restaurant to eat..( i suddenly realised that we only go to soup restaurant or sushi tei to dine.hee)As always, i enjoyed their company and i guessed they loved playing with Little T..

KC even taught Little T some kung fu moves, how to ride a motorcycle and how to moonwalk. Ha..no wonder Little T was so exhausted towards the end of the dinner.=p A funny incident happened..Jan was just sharing with us abt a Prada bag tat her fren have and just after she mentioned the price, Little T gave out a huge loud sigh...like a sigh of protest! haha...

Aniwae, cant wait to meet up again.Have already posted the pics on FB..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~How? Whenever i scold Little T, he always give me his charming smile which totally melts my heart! He's not scared of me!

2009-09-04T23:55:00.002+08:00

The past week seems to just zoom by..was so tired that i cant even rem what day is it and when Gary talked to me abt Man Utd's won during the wake, i was like...err, sorry, who did Man Utd beat ah? *gosh*

Havin to face reality is difficult. I was just telling B that smth i still cant believe that she's gone...haiz..i can only just be comforted that she is now in Jesus's hands and that she is suffering no more..

Her passing on serves a reminder to me to not take our health for granted, that this earth is just a temporal home-our permanent address is in Heaven and to spend more time with our loved ones...

Thanks to all who attended the wake, for showering numerous smses and support to B and me, your prayers and for helping out in every single way. Our heartfelt gratitude...

Going back to work next monday. Tons of work to be done. My colleague just smsed me on a thursday at 10pm, saying that she is still in the office as there is really too much work! Haiz...But as i always say, busy is better..Going to clear my emails now, so that i can start on my wrk at 9am sharp on monday...-_-

2009-09-01T17:59:00.002+08:00

I miss your presence and your smile...

There must be a reason why you are so well loved by your children and is everybody's favourite aunt..

I will continue to take care of your beloved son and grandson, and will tell him what a doting Ma-Ma you are..

Rest in peace...Til we meet once again in Heaven..

one thing i do b4 i watch a man utd match is to hide the remote control..cos someone funny might switch to another channel when man utd is just abt to kick their free kick or when man utd is on a winning streak..like the game im watchin nw against wigan.=) FINAL ScORE 5-0!!ALL tHE GOALS WERE GREAT! roOney scored his 100TH goal,owen Scored his Debut bpl goal..ETC..ITS CERTAINLY A MATCH TO REM..(OK,I TINK THERE 'S A BUG IN MY HP,DUNO WHY ALL MY LETTERS R IN BIG CAPS,SO PLS PARDON MI.) WAS QUITS DISAPOOINTED TO READ IN THE PAPERS TAT AFTER MAN UTD LOST TO A NEWLY PROMOTED BURNLEY MID WEEK,MANY MAN UTD FANS BLASTED THE TEAM ON THE WEBBY.though there r some changes in the team,i still believe that they can do it..n i duno why this so called fans blamed the team so hard after their loss..my guess its tat they lost $.ha...man utd pulled thru when stam left,when schimichel retired etc...they can live w/o ronaldo too...hate commentators when they say,oh its a free kick at ronaldo fav position etc...come on..move on..nani proved to the detractors when he scored a stunning free kick just nw..just let the youngsters mature,let the new players gel in n we shall see another winning team..=)

2009-08-21T11:48:00.002+08:00

Managed to stick a pic of the ManUd squad poster on my cupboard...

Very busy this weekend, have to introduce to Little T the whole squad, their positions and their jersey nos...haiz...*winkz*

Do u believe...

2009-08-16T23:46:00.002+08:00

What goes around comes around??

I used to scoff at mothers being too kiasu with their kids, sending them to phonics classes when they are 2; voluntering at schools so that their kids can attend that sch;spending heaps on educational books to so call stimulate the baby's brains ladaladalada...

But, horrors be horrors, i find myself slowly turning into one!

-Kept complaining to B and frens ard me that there are no gd schools near my area..
-Searching for playschs that is gd so that i can enrol Little T when he's of age..
-lap up every page of Young parents magazine on how i can improve the upbringing of Little T.

Haiz....

My mum is equally kiasu...Little T is turning 6mths soon and its a milestone for mother and child cos its the age whereby they can start eating solids..My mum kept asking me to ask around and read up on what Little T can eat and to prepare his little bowls and spoon sets. Guess i have to hit the supermarket soon and load up on those Heinz baby food...Poor Little T..he have to make do with instant cereal on weekends cos his mummy cant cook...=( My colleagues were just chiding me the other day for not knowing to cook porridge. Sigh...Aniwae, maybe i soon learn ya..Sometimes i can really feel the pressure onbecoming a super mum, to give the best to Little T...still struggling to balance between work and Little T..Its tiring and its not easy shuttling back and forth everyday.Somedays, im so tired that i cant even hear B turning in and i always ask him the next day what time did he sleep.Machiam we sleep seperately lydat.ha...

_________________________________________________________________________________________

After weeks of tolerating with our aching shoulders, b and i managed to book a massage after visiting my MIL.It was under a UOB lady's card mailer, which was mailed to B...so wierd hor..aniwae, it cost $18 each for a 45mins session and we can utilise the spa facilities there. We really enjoyed the session and the therapist was so gd that she loosened most of the tight knots in us. Took a quick shower there after that and i felt so refreshed! What a gd way to start the week..As always, a sales coordinator spoke to us after the whole thing to promote the packages that they have. It was quite reasonable..only $50 per session plus free food, free flow of drinks, usage of the relaxation lounge ( which b say he can laze ard and read his papers..-_-) and usage of the spa facilities so much so that we signed up..=) Oh, by the way, its owned bt Leslie Kwok, the national ex-swimmer and we saw him there just now!*handsome chap!* Aniwae, gd place to go to if u are in need of a massage. Its located at Far East Shopping Centre. Location quite off..maybe thats why they can offer the package at such an attractive price. And i managed to ask them to waive off our sessions today.hee..Check out the webby ya...

since my MI L was warded for a stomach infection due to her water dialysis...Its quite tiring for the family mentally and physically and B seems to be quite stressed over the whole thing. She just went for an op last nite and hopefully, she will become better and that can be discharged soon. We just have to put our faith in God.

Wana share a gd news...i arranged for some powerlighters frm our church to come pray for my MIL. After they left, she called B over and told him that he wanted to accept Christ! He then led her into the sinner's prayer. Back at home, his father pulled him aside and told him that he also wanted to accept Christ! God really work in HIs wonderful ways!! Praise God! =)

Was on leave last thursday and it was a busy day....

Visited my gynae..Thank God there was nothing wrong with me, nor am i pregnant. Its just a case of crazy hormones.Just one of the downside of havin a baby.Haiz....

Serviced our car..Spent $$ again. And while waiting, we utilised the time by taking the new Circle line to Bishan..V fast and V quiet!Ha...

Visited Little T. He 'performed' his flipping trick for his papa to see..=)

Visit MIL who is hospitalised. Hope she get well soon!

This week is going to be a busy week for me as well, not only at work...SIL is coming back from Abu Dhabi and both of us took leave on Fri to fetch her at the airport. Sat we are gg to have dim sum brekkie followed by B's boss baby 1st mth...( Have strings of weddings and baby's 1st mth to attend this year!) And not forgetting the long weekend! =)

Time flies...its august already..12 more days to the start of Football Season, with the Charity Shield ( Man Utd Vs Chelsea) on the 15th ( Cant watch cos will be attending Shirley's wedding) and the BPL proper on the 16th. My top 4 prediction for the BPL is as follows

Man Utd (a)
Chelsea (b)
Liverpool (c)
Man City (d)

(a) Do i really need a reason for this choice? =D Actually, im still reeling from shock that SAR bought Owen.He's old and so prone to injury! But SAR always has an eye in these.He bought my all time fav player-Teddy Sherringham when he was at an old age and see what become of him=).. I still rem the days when Owen was in liverpool and i was cursing and booing at him, and now...he's at Man Utd.What irony. And he gets to wear the No 7 jersey! At Man Utd, the coverted No 7 Jersey is worn by legends such as Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo ( Though he turned to be a traitor!) etc...so im a little shocked that Owen gets to wear it. But aniwae, he scored in his first 2 debut matches against Msia..Guessed his pairing with his England buddy Rooney really paid off...

(b) Not very sure abt their new signings, but there is no news on their stars leaving, unliked Man Utd and Liverpool. Terry was approached by City, offering 1m pounds a week!!!!Really salute his loyalty to Chelsea. He can say no to that kind of money!

(c)Alonso is leaving,Manchero ( duno how to spell and cant be bothered to check) dislike England and Liverpool is crumbling...cos they only depend on certain key players? Unlike Man Utd, when Tevez and Ronaldo left, Man Utd fans didnt even bat an eyelid...why? Cos Man Utd is not a 1 or 2 players team. All 11 players are stars of their own..=) Aniwae, they can still be no 2 if Gerald and Torres stop getting injured.

(d) With their insane signings, this is the team to look for in the 2009/2010 BPL season. However, i dun tink they will make it to the top 3 cos though they spent millions in signing players, they spent it mostly on strikers, which makes it an unbalanced team...

Arsernal which is not in my predictions of the top 4 is because they just sold one of their experienced players-Abedayor..( again, duno how to spell and cant be bothered to check). I really duno what is gg on Wenger's mind. What is left are all the boys...i wonder if anybody is above 28 there? Hmm....anyway, Arsernal fans...i feel for you guys....

Aniwae, the above are only my own predictions, no malice intended. CH~i know u will have lotsa comments; and HC~ Man Utd does not sucks k...=D

Cant wait for the new season to begin and may the best team win. Go united!!!!!!

little t's best effort in lifting his head..go boyboy!!

I STILL GET THE SHINGLES WHENEVER I HEAR DAVID COOK'S RENDITION OF ALWAYS BE MY BABY. HOW I WISH SOMEBODY CAN SERENADE ME WITH THAT SONG..=P

Back from the run in one piece....

2009-07-20T14:08:00.003+08:00

Though i had 2 blisters and am walking like an old woman now. Walking up and down the stairs is so painful! Managed to run half of the 5km ( i hope its half, cos there's no marking! -_-) and walked the rest...Chit chatted with Fiona along the way and time really flies, that end of the race, she said...

Eh, act the distance act not v long hor...HAHA....

So geared up for running again that i have signed up for the GE run this Nov...Hopefully, i can run w/o stopping and complete the whole 5km in one shot! ANybody wana run tgt? =)

Having the runs today and thus is on mc...havent been on mc for so long le! =p Had cramps on and off since last fri but no, Im NOT preggy again...Ha...
Little T is also havin the runs..i tink he spread it to me! Poor us...haiz...

~The saddest part of discussing the problem is that we realised that there is no solution at all!~

test test..using my hp to upload pics..=)

When Guilt sets in....

2009-07-18T13:49:00.002+08:00

Whenever i tell ppl that Little T does not live with me during weekdays, only weekends, i always get the same reply...Huh...so good...you dun miss him meh??

YES i do..thats why i travel down everyday to see him, play with him. Its not a good arrangement i admit. I toyed with the idea of staying at my plc on weekdays, but...there are a lot of things to consider and Little T staying at my mum's during the weekdays seems to be the best solution now..I do feel sad whenever i hear this kind of comments..its make me feel like a lousy mum, who doesnt want to spend time with her child...

To make things worse, Little T at 4 months, cant really seem to lift his head up when he's on his belly..Maybe i didnt drink enuff milk when im preggy..cos i hate drinking plain milk just like that. I only drink chocolat milk or milk with cornflakes. Maybe its just not enuff...and dun get me started on the veg part or his weight...

Some ppl say that different child develops differently. i really hope this is the case..Not trying to push the blame away..

cos i know,

im guilty as charged...

I cant stand...

2009-07-16T23:17:00.003+08:00

Inefficiency....esp when u are supposed to be well-trained in this area...

Bought N97 on Wednesday. Thought, ponder, muse v v long before deciding in getting this phone. Felt a bit of a regret and guilt cos its so exp! ( thats another story)..Anyway, tried logging in to surf the net but failed to do so. Called up 1633 to ask abt it. They sent me a sms asking me to save the settings and try again, which i did and still cant access the net. Called back again and they say they will get a technician to call me back in a few hours time.

Waited....and waited....no calls...i look like a lovelorn teenager, checking to see if the phone is ringing..

Called back again the next day. Same thing...my technician will call you back in 2 hours time...still no bloody callback..and to cut the long story short, i called starhub a total of 6 times and still the same @!@#!@@!#@ reply...then as it so happens in life, i was driving when they decided to call. B ans the call and he has to repeat the same story to them AGAIN. and you know what is their ans? Oh, i will send you an email on how to do the settings manually. i almost e-brake when B told me their reply...

I did not wait 2 bloody days just to get a email from them.If they can send an email to teach their customers correctly, they shd have done so the very 1st day that i called up! i asked B to ask them to call his hp and guide him how to do the settings on my phone as im still behind the wheel. They took 5mins to callback, which i duno why....and you know what? The so called step by step instructions that they gave B on the phone was incorrect! They seem to be talking abt another phone altogether. When B told them that he cant find the function, the person said, oh, i need to check further and i will call you back at 6.30pm....which of cos, they didnt...they finally called at 9.30pm, but i didnt manage to ans the call...and til now, they have not called back....

So pissed off at their inefficiency and lousy service...one of the 6 agents, after asking for my full name, asked, how can i address you? I was like......

Hope that this can be resolve tomorrow. My patience is thinning...i didnt spend so much to buy a phone just to sms and make phone calls...to make matters worse, i went into Kate Spade and the bag i have been eyeing so long is having 30% off and its even cheaper than the N97!!!!

This starhub 'experience' really dampened my mood the whole of my staycation...Shall blog and upload the pics of that another day...

Funny Pics of Little T..ThadThad...mummy love u v v much k! =p

Random tots of the week...

2009-07-11T00:34:00.003+08:00

In the midst of uploading a v funny and cute video of Little T in my fb...do go have a look ya.Maybe next time i will oso upload here. It shows him laughing and screaming loudly while playing with my father. I will just laugh everytime i see the video. He is just so cute! (fiona~hope u will feel better after seeing it too. Hee...)

But i tink he is starting to recognise the place, cos he cried v loudly when we brought him home frm my parents place...had a hard time placating and calming him..haiz..

Taking leave next wed and thurs for another staycation, this time at Swissotel the stamford. Cant wait!

BB just dropped a piece of bad news yest..he will be on reservist during my bdae week! my tots of gg HK/Macau during my bdae just went 'Poof'. So unfair, i always dun get a chance to travel on mybdae, unlike BB...who spent his bdae in Japan and Phuket b4...*sulks*

Happy 4 mths Little T ( on sunday) Mummy is so proud of you...!!

I kept spending $$...how??Haiz....

2009-07-04T00:05:00.002+08:00

Little T is laughing louder and louder each day! have several videos of it but duno y cant seem to upload on fb..Its such a joy seeing him grow day by day and i always look forward in seeing him after work, though the shuttling up and down tires me..

Work has been quite hectic this week and i always wish i was an octopus..so that i can up my multi-tasking and get more things done. hee...

Little T has been havin diarrhoea on and off this week, so i brought him to a pedariatic doc. Guess how much is the bill? $130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got a shock when the recep told me the amount that i need to pay...i told little T that i will deduct this amt from his bank account and he just smile at me..ha...i will take it as a yes...i tink he hates to visit the doc..he was super cranky when we waited for our turn..and my mum told me that he kept sulking this morn-his sign of displeasure to us..ha...hope he will feel better!

Haiz...no mood to blog le..duno why...*heart feelin heavy*

2009-06-27T12:00:00.002+08:00

I forgot to bring my hp out, yet again, on a friday...*smack forehead* Before you tsktsk and say i cant live w/o my phone, think again. I can, actually live w/o my phone, cos after getting married, my phone bills literally halved and my phone seems to be not wrkin on weekends. so sad right..but ok, this is another story....friday is the day that i fetch B frm wrk to go sk to fetch thad home, and w/o a phone, its very hard to coordinate with b...but, thank God i always see his colleagues aka my ex colleagues downstairs and i always managed to borrow a phone to call B to tell him i rched..ha

Duno why i became so forgetful after givin birth, have i given most of my brain to little T? haiz...maybe i shd mj more? haha....

Complained this to B during our dinner at Old town ( first time there and the food is fab! )

B: Then will you forget me next time?
Me: Duno leh...*pause* eh, issit a gd thing or bad thing for u?
B: bad la...i will be very sad one you know.
Me: why leh?
B: Cos we went thru so much ma....
*smack him in the thigh and turn away to blush secretly* HAHAHA

So, any idea on how can i improve my memory? dun tell me to eat what ginko nuts etc huh...hate it! =p

On another note, Transformers was not bad! short of having to sit in the front row and coming in abt 10 mins late due to some minor hiccups, i find the movie enjoyable! but i was telling everyone, when the transformers fight, its hard to know which are the megabots and which are the decepticons..If its not for the complimentary ticket, i will never never evr pay $28 for a gold class seat. I find it not spectacular, food not that fab and i dun even know whether they even wash the blanket properly! yucks...

PS: hope the H1N1 will go away soon...i wana go for a holiday!!

PPS: Shd we change back our aussie$ to make a few hundred bucks or shd we keep it for our duno-when-we-will-go Aussie Trip???Sigh...

2009-06-23T12:56:00.003+08:00

Little T trying out the car seat...he looks as though he's on a plane!Little T with his cute mouth...do u wana kiss him? =) Sorry...he's all mine!!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Even B cant stand Little T's poop...

mummy...where are u bringing me? *for his J-A-B!*Mummy, are you sure you are not the one who gave me the injections? Its painful..=(
Little T not feelin well. He gave this expression whenevr my mum call his name this morning...
My Charles and Keith shoes..My zara dress..finally managed to get a toga dress which i like..=)

Im on 2 days Leave...

2009-06-23T12:32:00.002+08:00

cos i took Little T for his jab yest and took the additional day so that i can monitor him in case of any fever..He was cranky for the whole of yest morn..Maybe he accidentally overheard us discussing abt his jab. Ha...thats why i told B tat we must spell out instead.

Like for eg: We are bringing Thad for his J-A-B tomorrow.
B asked me...What is J-A-B? -_- nm..i think he wrked too hard...

Anyway, when we rched NUH, Little T started to throw his temper. Duno whether its bcos he recognised the place? We took turns appeasing him by carrying him to see the colourful murals on the walls. The check up by the doc was ok..he's growing quite tall, but a tad skinny. B shot me killer daggers when the doc told us that Little T was below average for his weight. He still have not 'forgiven' me for givin birth to a 2.835kg boy.=( So right now, we need to increase his milk dosage and hopefully he will put on somemore weight. *Be more cooperative Thad..!!*

Again, when the research nurse asked who will be holding Little T during the jab, i, without hesitation volunteered B.I still do not dare...but i duno whether this is a smart move or not, cos will he think that im the one givin him the jabs???!?!? i hope not...This time, Little T cried So SO SO loudly after the 2 jabs. Poor boy..my heart ache and my eyes well up with tears with every scream and every tear shed...=( Hate bringing him for his jabs!

But, as a mature parent, i told Little T...
This is for yr own good ok...Dun cry...and mummy is not the one who gave u the shots k...its that aunty over there...

I guess Little T was quite traumatised after the shots. He had 2 nitemares last nite! Haiz...really have to pray that he will have sweet dreams, cos of late, he kept having nitemares too! Its quite scary being woken up by yr son's sudden screams...=(

PS: Its gold class nite again this thurs. Watching Transformers! Managed to get an extra ticket for my bro. U owe mi one! BUt i will be the only one at the recep that nite, cos my colls have smth on. *Stress!!* Hope everything runs smoothly...

My 1st week back at wrk..

2009-06-20T12:22:00.002+08:00

It was quite overwhelming the 1st few days as i adjusted back to work life. Settled some tasks given to me, cleared 80% of my emails, refreshed myself with the existing policies etc..i also spend many parts of the day replying to questions posed to me on how is my baby, hows motherhood etc. i tink my colleague who is siting next to me is able to ans that cos she has heard me repeating myself countless times. Hee...

Market is picking up and i can really see the difference in my department as compared to before i left! Hope i can still secure my job and i know God will provide. Shared this with my parents over one dinner and my father reassured me the same thing too. He said that he had his fair share of retrenchments and everytime it happens, God ALWAYS provide a job almost immediately...Pastor Rony mentioned in last week's sermon that we could start a list on the times when God interfered in our Life and be amazed at how wonderful He is. I started mine this week mentally and the list just go on and on. He provides financially when i converted from Perm to Contract last dec; He strengthened family bonds thru the little one;B and i has lesser quarrels and there are many many more and more yet to come. Praise the Lord! =)

On another note, i tink im quite paranoid over the H1N1. Guess its bcos of Little T. I have many overseas colleagues coming here for Analysts marketing and roadshows and they come in and out of my office. Yesterday, internal memo just revealed that there is a colleague stationed in Changi office who caught it. Haiz...i just have to commit the whole family in God's hands. Bcos of this H1N1, i tink my passport will grow fungus...plans of gg to aussie in October are cancelled. Act i wanted to go KL watch the Man Utd match ( can u believe tickets are gg at 90RM??) but after reports stating that community infection started in KL, i immediately shelved my plans..THough a lot of ppl say..aiya, singapore oso have H1N1, just go loh...but i guess its not so simple with Little T and i do not want to take the risks...Hope all will be over soon and i can resume my plans of seeing the world...=)

On another another note, i have decided to give Charles and Keith a chance. I once swore never to buy their shoes again cos its so uncomfy and it never lasts. But i guess im drawn in by their designs and my friends enthusiasm abt their shoes that i subcummed and bought....2pairs and even applied for their member's cards. Will post pictures of my shoes and my dress which i bought at the mango sales soon! Hee...

2009-06-18T20:08:00.003+08:00

On our anniversary yest...

Me: B..do u know what day is today?

B: Yes..its the day that i spend $$...

So unsweet hor...not say i always qiao da yi bi...cant even rem the last time he bought gifts/flowers for me...=(

1st day back...

2009-06-13T12:51:00.002+08:00

Was super overwhelmed by the many emails(6000+) and changes in my dept! Maybe i shd start clearing some during the weekend at home.Sigh...But i do see a good sign..things are picking up. =) My eyes were so tired frm staring at the comp screen for the whole day. What made things worse was the Massive jam from the PC fair and there was a fire drill! *clapclap* And.....drumroll pls...i waited for BB in the car for 1 and a half hr!!!!!!! Cos he need to finish his big pile of neverending work...Didnt bring anything to read. Camera and phone low batt, too tired to work ard...haiz...

Surprisingly, i did not pull a long face or was really angry..Think being a mother made me super patient.Ha...we went to have a quick dinner and went to pick up Little T frm my mum's plc. Upon seeing me, he smiled! That really made my day! What PC fair, what fire drill...what is 1 and a half hr? All those were far far away at the back of my head...=)

Forgot to blog~ Jan, Limin and me met up to celebrate Jan's bdae on Thurs at Tamp 1.Went to our fav place-Sushi Tei. It was a nice time catching up with them and we even went for a relaxing foot reflex after that, though Jan kept shouting pain beside me...Hee...We even played a small prank on her for her bdae. Ha...hope you like yr gift and Happy Bdae in advance bestie! Hope to meet up soon!!

2009-06-08T13:35:00.003+08:00

This is 5+ in the morn! Little T is so happy talking with my father.. Surrender!

Or i will shoot!
Revealing the shooter...

Happy Thad...Its quite hard to take him smiling widely..cos whenever he sees me whip out my cammy, he will just smile blankly at the pink cammy, wondering what it is..=)

See what i mean....

I so wana pinch his cheeks and his michelin tyre legs!
Went on a date with BB yest. To Robinsons for shopping and to explore the new Orchard Central..Its huge! Look at the cool lift shaft!
The unique Walls and ceilings...

View from the balcony...

They even have a rock climbing wall in the mall!

Thad's new toy! Its a walker cum ride on from Fisher-Price. Love their stuff but its kinda exp. Bought this at a 20% disc..Thadthad, mummy Wanted to get u another toy..but yr papa say no...=(

This is the week...

2009-06-08T13:09:00.002+08:00

that i go back to work...havin mixed feelins...more of 80% sad (of not being able to see Little T and wake up late) 10% nervous ( cos there's a lot of changes in the office!) and 10% fear ( of kana chopped!) Time passes by so fast..its like last week that i had Little T! But how much he have grown...from a tiny 2.835kg boy...he has doubled in weight, eyes more wide open, head bigger, torso longer etc.No more waking up several times in the middle of the night, no more continuous crying at nite, no more feeds every 2-3 hrs...

He's more active and more curious...just the other day, i just caught him staring hard at his sleeves, cos he was wearing a very colurful PJs that nite. He was lifting his arms so high to see it. It looked so funny and i shd have captured it on my cammy! Now as he's learning to turn over, he always lift both of his legs high up in the air and BAM...hit the mattress and the whole playpen will shake...ya, thats my boy..=) He just amazes me everyday with his new antics...

Bought this last week and i find thats its v gd! After applying it, yr pores really become smaller and its a gd base for yr foundation. It just glides on. Love the pink tint, handy size and that it contains SPF! =) And the best thing is, it costs $19.90..buy it at Metro and you can enjoy 20% off!

Grouchy Little T..who wants to sleep, despite my hao xin, bringing him to the swimming pool to have a look see...

Attended a wedding dinner At Meritius Mandarin yest evening...It was one of BB's distant distant distant relative...so distant that i nv even seem him b4...though b say that the groom like got attend our wedding...the word to note is like...i dun even remember!! Thus, i didnt really look forward to this wedding...just attend just for the sake of attending loh.haiz..

The wedding dinner was a normal one, and by normal, i mean...it has the same normal programme as many couples have~photo montage, express highlights, yum seng etc. Oh, i love the bride's dress btw...V elegant and nice! *Im starting to miss my own wedding..sobz* But the best thing of the night is that the food was really really good! haha...so i guess i paid $1XX just for a good dinner with his relatives..=p Aniwae, congrats to the couple, which i bet, dun even know i existed....

On another note....

Little T is growing up so fast..as i mentioned earlier on, he's starting to flip over le, and he kept lifting his legs so high up.Ha..and i tink he's trying to communicate with us, with his 'err sound'. But he only likes to talk with my father more..and we duno why..

This is one conversation that we had when Jan and Kc came to visit..

KC: I tink he (Little T) has yr eyes..
Me: Ya, i tink so too!
Jan: But his eyes like v big leh..
Me: -_- *HAHA*

To Jan~ Its ok, im not offended...just quite amused by it..haha..and its better if his eyes is bigger than me! =p I kept asking B whether my eyes bigger or thad and he always dun dare to reply..HA

B turned 3X last friday...booked a nite stay at hotel Re! to celebrate. Its a quaint boutique hotel nested at Pearl's Hill. Different levels have different colour themes, which was kinda cool..We were initially given the 3rd level (Pink) but we found it too low and requested for a higher floor. They gave us a one time free upgrade, to the 8th floor(orange, which is B's fav color). The room was done up quite nicely, but the hotel was v small, there is only 1 restaurant, 1 pub,1 massage centre..thats it..not much ammenities.

After checking in, we settled down, explored the place then head out for our shopping spree. Went to the new shopping centre-Illuma at Victoria Street. Most of its shops and restaurants cant be found elsewhere, hence, it was rather unique. Too bad we had our dinner earlier on at Bugis Junction, orelse will try the Jap restaurant there. They have an area called the Japanese Food Amusement, which houses abt 7 diff Jap restaurants.Aniwae, shopping there is quite refreshing as compared to the others where the shops are more or less the same.

We headed to Marina@ Keppel Bay next. Our 1st time there and the view was great! We went to TCC (cos the rest were too pricey!). Though the area was so deep in ( u need a car to go there..its quite far to walk), the place was full and we even have to be placed on the waiting list! Hope B enjoyed himself that day as he always like to explore new places...=)

The next day, we went for our $50 Javanese massage which was only so-so.haiz..quite disappointing..but i guess yi fen qian yi fen huo.=p All in all, i tink the hotel was only ok..there were few instances where there was communication breakdown between the staff and us, which i feel, can be managed in a better way. But it was a gd experience, considering that its not safe to leave the country at this point of time.

~Finally 'reunited' with Little T. For the 1st time, i did not see him for one whole day yest. Missed him so much that i kept seeing his photos in my camera!ha~

~Duno why, i feel so frustrated when i saw some stuff when i rched home. Dun wana comment much.haiz..~

Anguish...

Seeing the replay a few weeks back of the match between Barca and Chelsea, Was actually quite confident that MAn Utd will yet again win the Champ League this year, cos i felt that Barca wasnt playing THAT well...but i was wrong...

Man Utd was playing so well at the start, almost scoring in the 1st min but it sucumbed to pressure just after 9mins, when Eto scored the winning goal. After that their passing were off, their shots were wide and they cant seem to get it together le. HAIZ...

But congrats to Barca, for a splendid performance and to Messi, for finally scoring against a English Club..Will cheer on Man Utd in the next season of Champ League, but will have to find a way to watch the matches since starhub lost the rights to broadcast to Singtel.ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....this is the most irritating part!!!

PS: Little T was sleeping vertical last night, but when i woke up this morn, he was sleeping horizontal...i duno how he managed to do it! I kept asking him to show me again, but all i got was a nonchalent expression and an innocent cooing..SHOWOFF!

Im gg back to wrk in 2 weeks time!

2009-05-25T14:01:00.002+08:00

Sigh...my 3 mths plus of maternity leave is just gone....just like that! It seems like yesterday that i was preggy..haiz..im gona miss Little T so SO much! Since givin birth to him, i have not left his side, not even for a day ( though it will start this weekend when B and i go out to celebrate his bdae)

How i wish i can find a job that let me wrk frm home and yet receive the same or even higher pay as what im getting nw.Hee..Being a stay at home mum is out of the question. First, B will have a heart attack...and i wun be able to indulge in my shopping sprees...and with the commitments, loans, etc...i guess sarcrifices have to be made.=(

So sad that i wun be around to see his daily changes, be the 1st to witness his 1st XXX, take countless photos/videos of him...*sobz* I will try my v v best to visit him daily after wrk, though this will tire me out and increase our petrol expenses..Just hope Little T will miss me just as i miss him....lots...
