Sentimental week

More treats this week!!

Thursday 28th Aug: Met Sherlin & Deborah for steamboat dinner, followed by coffee at tcc.


Friday 29th Aug: Went St. James with (clockwise) Deborah, Tammy & Sherlin. I think I am getting old! I couldnt stop yawning & I had to eat to stay awake (brain switched off)!! How pathetic lor!


Saturday 30th Aug: Jumbo seafood dinner with Alf/Sarah, Kaising/Jan, El/Eugene, William, Gerald/Viv & Jerry/Valerie. I was too busy eating the good food and worrying about my rascals that I forgot to take a group picture! Major regret now!

People, thank you for the wonderful dinner & we will miss you all.

Goodbye 2010

We are quite sad to say good bye to our car. It was daddy's dream car and it has served us 3 good years. Tomorrow morning, it will be handed to the dealer.

I never knew

Current mood:

I never knew I'll be missed by so many. This further tells me to cherish the people around me & I must be strong.

Counting down... 9 more days.

Mint & Chips

My latest (sinful) addiction- Mint & Chips ice cream!!!


Pink outfit, pink crocs and strawberry ice-cream :p

Crocs

Mummy me has never been a Crocs fan. The only design I like is the mary jane style . Daddy bought a bronze one on my birthday & its super comfy!

Yesterday Godma bought a pair for Godson (Kieran) & I couldnt resist getting one for Kayla too! I am so glad I did because she loves it so much!!


Cotton candy mary jane & Mango cayman

Memorable Tuesday

I was out since 12pm.. went to CPF main office to meet my ex-colleagues for lunch. As I exited from Tanjong Pagar station and walked towards the building, I thought about my working days & my bunch of crazy colleagues (many of them left) ...


This is Cynthia. When I was pregnant with Kieran, she was pregnant too! Our EDDs were in the same month. Our work stations were next to each other so we had alot to share, compare & compete! Anyway, I can never outspeak her! Ha! ha!


5 bowls of soup for lunch!

Cyn: Thank you for the BIG presents.. not 1, not 2 but 3!! and a lovely farewell card.

After lunch, I stayed in the office till 4pm before I took a train to City Hall. Had arranged to meet my cousins at 6.30pm for Karaoke at Marina Square.


"Happening Trio" !


Kieran's Godpa & Godma.

Cousins: Going to miss you all & all the nonsense time!!

Full set of teeth

Kieran had stuffy nose & drooled for 5 days, last week. Popo strongly believed it was due to teething but Dr. Ong didnt think so, though he mentioned his last 4 molars (2 upper & 2 lower) were erupting!


In the past, Kieran wasn't very interested in textured food; he was too lazy to chew! Now he loves to eat what we eat, especially noodles. I hope he gains a few more kgs because the nurse said hes slightly underweight (???). Currently, hes 94cm tall and weighs abt 12.8kg.. Seems alright to me!

Sleeping "beauty"

Last night, decided to check on Kieran before I turned in ...

!!!!
The bedroom was dark. Picture taken with flash on.

Happy Birthday, daddy!

Farewell dinner at Aunt's place

I feel so fortunate because this was my 3rd farewell party. 1st one was at Seoul Garden; 2nd was a spa party organised by my long time friends (pictures will uploaded later).

Thank you Da gu ma for the delicious mee siam (I am gonna miss it terribly!) and cousin Jan for coordinating & helping me with the birthday cake! We celebrated daddy's birthday a day earlier.


My family.


Presenting the cake to my man! (Birthday man grinning away!!)




Look at the way they blowed the candles! so alike!!


Happy Birthday !!!

Tang si 2

Specially for Nai2..

After much coaxing, Kayla recited twice at one go (but too shy to look at the cam) so nai2 doesnt need to play 20x !

Moral of the tang si "Do not waste food"

Seoul Garden

Today I had dinner with my ex-colleagues at Seoul Garden. There were 7 of us and even though I didnt manage to catch up with everyone as much as I wanted to, I was really happy and felt so blessed to be surrounded by so many good friends.





Thank you Jerlene (center, front) for organising this gathering and I love the gift !!


"Good friends are forever"

The professionals

Whether you are moving within Spore or overseas, its definately worth every cent to pay for professional movers!! The guys from Collin's movers were very efficient and friendly.


Arrived at 9.45am and immediately got into action! They were not only the busy ones...


Little helper in action too!!!

Before...


After...


From unpro (my garang guni man)



to PRO!! 22 boxes (exactly 120 cubic feet)!

See you in Sydney!

First few words

Despite all the prompting, reading and singing, Kieran refuses to say proper words. Even if he did, it would be one time and never again!!!

His favourite 4 words are: "Come", "Goal", "Wow" and "Catch" - words that relate to his favourite toy THE BALL !

Simple amusement

Rained so maid brought in the clothes to dry.. and see what happened:

How innocent they are ... over & over again for more than 40 mins!!

Busy bee mummy me!

I will have less time to blog from now till 5th Sept. I hope I am able to do so daily when I am in Sydney. Just booked 6 air tickets; daddy & I had a tough time confirming the dates with SIA because all of us are leaving & returning at a different time!!

Next Monday, movers will be here so this weekend another round of major spring cleaning & sorting out our items into 2 piles: "Collin's movers" & "DHL (urgent items)". Faint!!

Random pics of Kieran:


Watching 3 ants go by...


Cannot wait to eat his dinner!!

Strange hat

My maid made this for Kayla:

Wheels go round & round

Manually operated by Kayla!


Stopped to pose for a picture.

Mr bug catcher

Rascal Kieran caught a beetle with his fingers & threw it on the floor.. Ewww.. thank goodness it was not a lizard!!

... and it flew behind the TV!



Kieran watched as daddy tried to catch it.

The most beautiful sound

...their laughter.

Finally, uploaded this video! Been trying to for the past 2 days! Everytime I try to, my com hang!

I love my water bottle

Some time ago I bought a Combi training straw cup for Kieran & he refused to drink from it. He wanted his baby NUK bottle only. I was determined to "train" him to drink from a straw cup and he seems to like Kayla's munchkin straw bottle so I got a SpongeBob Squarepants one for him.



Enjoying his drink!!

Dancing duo

Its really entertaining to watch them sing & dance, especially Kieran!! He really love music! Not well recorded because if I get too close, Kieran will run away again. Sigh..


Dancing to 10 little Indian boys.

Creative

Kieran is tired of playing with his blocks so he ransacked gonggong's drawer and found 4 tapes!

Like that also can?!

Random entries

Kayla is back to school.. I've kept her away for almost 1 week after a case of HFMD. The school has stepped up on hygiene & cleaniness.

Post updates (6/8/08): Another case of HFMD.. decided not to let Kayla attend school for the time being.

Aunty Jerlene made some mini cupcakes. Mummy me & Kieran enjoying our high tea:



Online shopping continues... bought this sweatshirt from a recent bulk purchase for $12 only. Very motivating! Everything is possible!!
