Blogging time....

Yippi!!!! I had managed to get the tickets to go for Ah mei and Andy Lau concert!!! Baby bought me Ah-mei concert on the 4th Oct and I got him Andy's one on 13th Dec...cost us a bomb in total, but it's definitely worth it, especially for ah-mei's one. Been longing to see her...since long long time ago. I want to hear her sing live. No regrets. A reward for baby being so sweet fetching me when I am off from work late, keeping me accompany in office, staying hungry to wait for me to have dinner together and being so understanding to my hectic work schedule.

Work so far has been interesting and definitely rewarding, learning lots of things. Endless of process mapping and training....I have never dreamt I will become a trainer in the company, as I am afraid of giving presentation. Now it just seem so at ease, finger tips. We are being forced to grow at times....without even realising we have grown.Lot of challenges ahead, but with my baby and family around, nothing seem tough at all. :)

Attending endless wedding...so far attended 4weddings, the 5th one coming this Sunday!!!! That's Joe's one...looking forward going to Swiss hotel for a grand wedding and getting up with my beloved ex-colleagues from Toyota, misses them!

Living with my baby, away from my family, makes me wanna cry sometimes. Every Sat, I will head home to stay during the weekend. My parents seem to aged faster than I expected. Was it because it has been a week since I last saw them, therefore I noticed the signs? or now I started to notice their presence/existence? My heart ached and I realise I am not only seen as a child in their heart, I am still one myself...especially being with parents. At times, I wish I am still leading a carefree life with nothing to worry about for the past twenty over years...now I am married, lots of responsibility fall back on my shoulders. It's time to grow...or I should have grown many year back.

This sat will be packed with activities start from 2pm onwards till past midnight, planned mahjong, dinner,then k till past midnight...loooking forward!

My 1st post after a long break

A lot of my friends were calling me last few weeks, what happen to your blog? MIA liao?haha..I didn't know that most of my frds are reading my blog constantly...

I was back to office on Sat for a meeting for half a day...0.25 days of my wkend is gone. Went for makan at Changi Village with my colleagues & my boss + her husband.Order lot of food, we could barely finish.Took a free ride to MS, shop with my colleagues till 6 and head down amk to meet my baby.

We had an appointment with our frds at Roxy Square 8pm, looking forward to the hot & steamy tom yam soup to drip my food in...& not forgetting the specially made sauce(taste like the one which cocoa has). Had a good chat and dinner!!!We love it!!! Mahjong right after that till 2am & I almost fall asleep. Fun...I am the only winner!haha...earning extra bucks after work.

Took my family for dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday...went to a Thai-chinese resturant at Yishun..my siblings could not stop ordering cos I am paying. What else matter than spending time & money on your family. It's totally worth it.

A kiss for my baby for good performance on that day! He helps my mum with the delivery and entertain my parents with his jokes....money not enough..for him, jokes not enough!

Beloved Bunnie

Real busy ever since I started working. Tired, challenging but learning lots of things that I have never came across in my working life. During this period, I have spent lesser time with my baby, family and my pets. Lots of activities happened since I last blog, endless of gathering with friends, friends' brithday, bringing my parents out for breakfast on Sunday, play mahjong...

The saddest thing that has happened over the last few weeks was my beloved bunnie passed away on the celebration of our nation's birthday at 9 plus in the evening.I missed him...the thought of him leaving me for heaven makes my tears uncontrollable. I tried hard not to recall the wonderful times that we had spent together. When he was just palm size barely 3 months in my hands, the first few steps he made to move around, learning to drink from a bottle, chewing cables around the house and catching his sleep whenever he could. He was like a baby to me, a growing baby since I have him 5 years ago.I might have neglected him due to busy work schedule and staying over at SK.Bunnie, I miss you lots and the wonderful memories that we had spent together will always be in a small little corner of my heart. No amount of tears can bring you back to me, but I know you will be in better care in heaven.

Now I have second thoughts of having a pet when my new home comes, the thought of your beloved pet leaving you is unbearable. Every pet is special to me and the love that they have given me is unable to descibe with words. They just love you with all their heart and they can only wish you do the same....

No mood to blog on the rest...after blogging about Bunnie.Heart-broken.

Work Work Work

Well.. No input from my baby fyawn.. Well She is busy working now, staring at her laptop..
I guess she must have completely forgotten her blogspot and her readers liao .

These Formulas suit her best at the current moment
Maybe you guys are facing the same situation as well...


Working Formula
Workaholic = Working hours + Work @ relax hours + Think of Work During Sleeping Hours
Promotion = Work Smart but not Work Hard
Free Time = 24hrs - Working time + Travelling hours + Meal Time = No TIME
Work Load = Work * Work * Work * ....
Family Time = Not in my schedule!!

Haiz.. I think most of us are facing this kind of life after we graduate. What to do! SINGAPOREAN! Work to die! Die also must work!!

48 hours a day?

I have tons to update and share what had happened since last weekend...phew...been enjoying myself since last week till I started work on Monday...Busy busy. Back to working life again.I will start updating "stories" soon! Lots to share!!! Omg, can I have 48 hours a day and spend the extra 24 hours with my baby and catching up with frds and family?

Max Brenner Chocolate Bar, Favourite nail colour O.P.I (NL F16)

My plan has been disrupted, suppose to have an appointment in the afternoon. It was cancelled as everything is not ready by then I reached the place at 5pm. It was a good thing for me as I don't have to make a wasted trip down and have all the time to blog and surf net till I meet my ex-colleagues later on for feasting & gossipping..Yippi Horray!!! It has been ages since I last met them!

I was terribly hungry now, ate nothing but this in the morning. Not really healthy but i loves it!With tons of chocolate fudge,chocolate bits...try this the next time.Baby loves this too!!!Nicest of the flavours that I had tried. Love chocolate then you gonna try this.I am a chocolate lover...my dream is to open a cafe that sell chocolates...anything to do with chocolate I will sell... idea taken by a cafe in esplanade, called the Max Brenner Chocolate Bar. I went there for fondue...nice place, I will definitely go again!To temporary curb my chocolate addictions, I shall eat this Fossil Fuel first!















Have my nails painted yesterday, nice? One of my fav colours... O.P.I (NL F16)...Fallen in love with this colour...















Bought this for my baby, his favourite and my favourite red dragonfruit.

I came across a blog which Shermaine sent to me, it's about a blog of a girlfriend that wrote about his boyfriend that had passed away during his national service.

Tarot Deck

I have bought my first Tarot deck, after several sourcing at several book stores, I think this is the best for me. It comes with a complete 78 card Waite Deck which consist 22 Major Arcana and 56 lesser Arcana in full clours. Started to explore the mystery in tarot cards...reading, reading through the book now! Falling in love with it...


















Baby is deeply engrossed with it too!haha.
Spent quite a bit of money yesterday at city hall while waiting for baby to off work...It was a rush shopping session, barely 45 mins, I have bought several things. The tarot set, my skin care, my favourite donuts, sour plum for baby....I didn't dare to tell baby how much I have spend...better not. Thereafter, we dine at Toa Payoh and went Popular. Baby was buying several "props" for his trip to Batam. Bought his favourite "The Three Kingdoms" and CD by FM90.5 "Back to skool". Good buy, the songs in the CD bring back lots of wonderful memories... can you image baby dancing while driving, enjoying the music! haha. So hilarous.

Looking forward to tomorrow and Thursday dinner with ex-colleagues...a good gathering before I start my challenges on coming Monday!

My 2nd last wkend....

My freedom will ends on 28th July... 1 more week to enjoy my carefree lifestyle! haha. It's definitely a good break for me, getting all ready for the new challenges coming! Most importantly, I can gain my independence and can get started to plan my savings & expenditure once again. It feels good.

Have a great weekend, went blading with my group of kakis...Joanne and Francis.Joanne had a very bad fell, think it will be couple of weeks or months before we can gather to blade again.Next activity we have in mind is either Tennis or badminton or bowling. Actually wanted so much to learn golfing. I will plan for that once my income gets stable! My baby has been rushing me take up driving too, I will consider that, will register for that this coming week!

Baby bought me to a Japanese resturant at Punggol after the blading and we had plenty of sushi and the most best part is he ordered a live lobster! The chef scoped up the lobster and twists it and serve us with the raw lobster meat and with it head and lower part of its body apart. The scary part was the lobster was still moving its feelers and eyes while we are enjoying its flesh...cruelty I would say but baby loves it. It comes with a miso soup with the lobster head cut up into pieces. The soup was tasty and nice! Loves the soup and lobster meat minus the eye rolling of the lobster!!!I was too scared & had forgotten about taking pictures of the lobster!haha, I will go there to dine again!!! Thumbs up! Not comparing to those superior Japanese restaurant, this one is right in the heartland, not too bad!

Baby can play soccer very well, fantastically well I would say! He had scored more than half of the goals for his team. His team came in third, his team had done their best. I was engrossed watching him rushing & chasing for the ball. He looooooked exceptionally handsome on that day.
This is the 1st time I had watched him played and I bet I will be there the next soccer game he's in! His buddy Eguene & his girlfrd came down to support him and of course lots of photo taking..

We had our favourite prawn mee and went for our Mahjong session! Sunday of course will be resting at our home sweet home, in the comfort of my home and enjoying my mummy's yummy lunch & dinner. Nothing can compared being in my own home, with 2 dogs, my bunnie and of course my own bedroom and my parents! Missed them greatly! We washed the car till it's "bright and shiny", getting it ready for a new look for the new week! Smells great!

A child simple wish...

Baby is already in his late twenties, to me, he is still a young kid at heart. I was certainly upset by the remark that he has made, it just show me how much attention he needs. This is something simple that a young child should be getting, but he didn't get it till even now. To me, this is simple cruelty. I am born in a family showered with all the love and care that coming from everywhere, I just couldn't understand the mindset of certain parents.What has induced in them to do something like this, I wish I will never have the chance to understand.

Baby made a remark before he left for bed, I am certain sadden and shocked by the remark he made, I see saddness in his eyes. No matter how much he is trying to hide, I can feel that he is deeply hurted. This was my reply to him " I shall buy you "the thing" when your birthday comes".His reply was "It's not the same". I feel hurt just like the way he did, I guess his is 100 times more hurtful than mine. I can never replaced him helping him to lessen the hurt. I felt so helpless and my tears couldn't stop falling and I have to do it after he slept.I do not want upset him further.

Baby, how you have been treated in your childhood can no longer be reversed.It will make us better parents and make sure our own children don't go through what you have been through.Although I can not replaced what you have been missing out...I will go through it together with you. Remember this...our love nest will be ready in 3 years time, that will be our time, our goal, to start living a life of our own!

A gift for you to start you day smiling! Coolest birthday cake ON EARTH!

Fantastic Breakfast!

This is my breakfast...self-made "pizza", must have milo and Meiji yogurt!!! The self-made pizza is a receipe that I have learnt from my mummy, she's a great cook. Baby loves the food my mum made...haha, how I wish I have half of the cooking skills my mummy have.Misses her cooking, We have plan to stay at my home home with hubby every Sunday and dine with my family. This will ensure we will not miss out her cooking every Sunday!haha




















Something is terribly wrong with baby's computer, unable to log into msn to chat with my friends...I am forced to use my mobile to log into msn mobile. The best part is unable to view the pictures. I wanna blog on last Sat's gathering with baby's friends...but I need to fix this problem as baby has taken tons for photos...

Anyway, I am meeting a friend later in the noon and while wiating for "baby's release".My friend identity has to be kept a secret!haha. Baby's having soccer practice later on, to get prepare for this coming Sat match at East Coast! I am going there to support him, if time allows, I will go blading!

While waiting for the time to pass, I have finished tidying up baby's room, mopped the floor...haha. He will be very happy to read this!

"New" Proposal

This is our"new" pair of rings that my baby bought for us...don't ask me why.haha, is a secret between us! The surprising thing is he "re-prosposed" last night by kneeling down, asking if I would marry him. It was hilarious, I thought we are married already. Anyway, a good surprise for me!I was moved!Although it's not a very expensive ring with diamonds all around it but it's the thought and gesture that counts! I love the design, so unique!























We got married knowing each other barely for 10 months(btw, we are from the same secondary school for 5 years but we wasn't that close last time) and the 1st 2 months being together we knew we are made for each other...we were making plans back then to get married in year 2008 and in Mar 2008 we vow to love each other for life...and our life as "married" status started. Our married life is not smooth sailing but each obstacles definitely makes our relationship stronger.

We realise a marriage will not work just because you think it will work, you have to put in effort to make it work! Back to the three things we believe is essential...Trust, communication and love! haha.

Point 1 & 2 are "poison" to a relationship, point 3 is something good to work on!
(1) Assumptions - > Don't make countless of assumptions, I realise that "I always think he reacted this way because I think he is doing something funny"...Don't think, unsure, sit down and have a good talk! I am really good at making countless of assumptions and getting angry because of countless assumptions...haha, silly!

(2) Narrow-minded -> A marriage does not concern only you and him! Not only you two parties, it comes with a package...his family and mine family...even my dogs and bunnie are counted in as "mine family"! If my dog fall sick, he has to be involved! It's that simple but it is definitely more complicated when it involves moving objects, I mean human beings in this case! Trying to get use to the requests coming from moving objects that has impact in our life. It's only a matter of time, I guess, getting used and being open minded! I do not want him to be a sandwich, that's the only simple reason that makes my brain "numb" and not thinking too much into it!haha

(3) Love his family & friends like the way you love your family and friends -> The reasoning here is simple. If I expect him to treat my family and my friends well, I would be expected to do the same thing too!

Thanks Baby for the wonderful and unforgettable experience.

My morning

Phew, it was a tiring morning...I was doing spring cleaning for my baby's room!!!

Changed the mattress yesterday but it didn't help, I still think it is dusty. Started by cleaning off the dust onthe cupboards, shelves, windows, fan, aircon, floor...the list never ends...

I hated these...spent a long time on these and my nail polish faded because of these cleanings....

At least the efforts paid off and the room smell nice and fresh again.
Baby will be smiling tonight.

I have an appointment with my dear Joanne in her house, we gonna chat and play tarot!!!

I shall take some pictures and upload my findings tonight.

Waiting for my baby to off work and head for dinner or maybe movies! Baby when will you be home?

Outings for temp. Tai Tai and Shao Ye

We went inline skating yesterday afternoon again! This time round we meet sure we meet ontime and gather everyone. Luckily Alan was driving and he picked Joanne up at Punggol, then me at Sengkang, lastly Francis at Sin Ming then we head for lunch. It was crowded everywhere, planned to go Long House but it was packed with lunch crowd. Then we headed to Ang Mo Kio market for a quick lunch and we chatted how we have spend our Tai Tai and Sao Ye lifestyle...

We reached East Coast Park as planned at 3pm, thanks Alan! We started to put on our skates and here we go!!!Francis & Alan decided to cycle...

After an hour we took a short break!Here's Alan & Francis...don't ask me why both of their heads are turn behind.They are caught in the mist of looking at babes in bikini!!!haha
Joanne & me!



















I wonder why both of them sat so far apart from each other?
I am trying to balance as much as possible...














After the session we head to Sengkang for dinner and coffee session till 8pm...our day as temp. Tai Tai and Shao Ye has ended!

Cute pictures taken

I wanted so much to upload the pictures that my baby took with his favourite monkeys...but the pictures didn't turn out well. It is either his eyes are half opened or the pictures are blurred.I had found a clear one with eyes half opened...haha, see this!

This is so cute!!! having the same post! I like this!

Tim Sum Day , Sales at IKEA

We woke up early on a Sat morning as we have made a reservation at Mirmar Hotel located at Havelock road for Tim Sum!!! We give it a 3/5, we still prefer to go to those Tim Sum at Yum Cha located at ChinaTown!!!

Baby has a small stomach and he could bearly eat after the 1st round...

We took some pictures on the way to IKEA after our Tim Sum as baby wants to get some plastic container to be put in his car. Pictures with his favourite monkey!

We shop for a while at IKEA and left soon after Baby got what he wants...we headed home to rest and we were glad that no one was at home. ZZZZZzzzzz time and we headed to my home sweet home for home-cooked dinner by my mummy!!!

Inline skating

Inline skating with my ex-colleagues from Toyota, Joanne and Francis!!! We planned to meet at 5pm at East Coast Park and guess what time we managed to meet Francis...almost 7pm. Poor chap, we kept him waiting from 4.30pm (he reached there at 4.30pm).

It was an unlucky day for us, I went to Joanne's house for kopi session and we took bus 43 from starting point till East Coast Park and we happily assumed to alight at Upper East Coast Interchange. The driver was driving very slowly, no, no we are not trying to push the blame on the driver. But it seems to be traveling at 50km/hr. It took us more than 1hr and 50 mins to reach the terminal and we walked more than 30 mins to reach East Coast Park. We again happily thought we reached the destination but we are at the other end of East Coast Park...National Sailing Club. If you know exactly where we were, we are suppose to meet Francis at Mac.

Helplessly, we "crawled" our way there. Exhausted, we gave up hope... We managed to change the meeting point to the hawker centre and we started to put on our skates!
Though exhausted, we had a great time together...See our pic and you will know!
*Have problem uploading the pic...I need hubby's help!!!

Hubby is so sweet to come down after his soccer training at YCK, all the way down to East Coast to keep me accompany and fetch me home! Thumbs up, sweetie!

Hot Tomatoes, Don't mess with Zohan & Mahjong

Friday night, definitely has to be out in the streets...decided to go for dinner and movies with Jennifer and her boyfriend, Kelvin at DG.

The movie is at 9.20pm, we settled down for dinner at "Hot Tomatoes" located at B1 of DG. Not to bad, considering the low price. Kelvin was not in the pic...he has took his own solo pic...I shall get him to send me!

We had a good chat at "Hot Tomatoes", wanting to stay there longer but the waiter already "billed" for us, in short want us to leave after finishing our food. It's kind of weird with several service staff staring at us while we are sitting there chatting.We moved on for coffee at Starbucks.We have 1 hour before the movie start and we chatted non-stop.I have known Jennifer since we are in secondary school and I managed to click with her boyfriend too. Hope they will get marry soon, waiting, waiting to hear the good news!!! haha.

Guess what movie we are watching...."Don't mess with Zohan"

Acted by Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Mariah Carey & Shelley Berman..

the movie is funny but the storyline cannot make it. If you decided to see the movie, just expect to have a brainless good laugh. I still prefer Kongfu Panda!!!

You must be thinking, where's your hubby and why go movie watching with a couple..haha. He was attending a wedding dinner on that evening. He came and fetch me home for another round of Mahjong with his buddies till 3am and we all drop dead.Really tired.

This is hubby with his new car, he loves it!

Superwoman

She's not the prettiest woman that you have seen on earth, her features has nothing in particular that can let you look at her for another glance when she is seen on the streets...she has deep wrinkles around her eyes when she smile and she look like she is in her forties. She is just another simple woman to anyone of you that has read my blog.

To me, she's a great mummy and has done fantastically well, exceeded her role as a mother to us and a wife to my daddy. A little background about her...she married to my dad at a pretty young age, twenty one and bring me to this greeny earth. She stayed home to bring us up till my younger sister was born. She suffered quite a bit when she have me staying with my grandparents. Heard that my dad's family used to be rich in the olden days and my dad was born with a sliver spoon in his mouth. My mum had to work doubly hard. When my dad becomes more independent and managed to find a job in the outside world after graduating, their tough lives started. After my sister is born, my mum has to find work outside to help subtain the family's expenses. By then there are 3 of us and my parents, single man working to subtain or to feed 5 mouths is tough. They continue working seeing us to finish school. It sounds like most typical family...

During the 90s', there is a period of recession coming by and my dad lost his job and my mum helps to subtain the family by holding 3 jobs, working non-stop day and night trying to meet the ends. This lasted for more than a year. She still ensures that we get cooked meals everyday by cooking as early as 5am before she left for work and ensure the soup is left boiling in slow cooker so that it will be ready for our dinner. She saves the best for us, everything she has, just to ensure we get to spend like normal kids. We are never deprive of anything.Whenever she faced a problem or our family do face any, she will shoulder it herself. Given this situation to me, I might not even survive.

What more can we ask for? Now we have all started working, earning a living. I hope we can all provide her with a life that she no longer has to worry about providing. Mummy, though I never said this to you...Mummy, I love you lots and will definitely take good care of you.

Toxication? De-toxification? Make a choice!

I have under-estimated the power of vitamin M, vitamin M = Money. Leading a carefree life for more than 2 weeks, many things have happened & it completely changed my viewpoint towards the power of vitamin M.

Don't get me wrong, I did not think that M was not important at all, but to me, I guess other things like such as freedom, spending time to do the things I like, spend time with family are more important than just earning a living. I don't want to be a work slave just because of money. We are all bound by restrictions, the "right" way to live your life, the "right" pattern of your daily lives, the "ideal" job, the "ideal" path to take just because of M & it makes me feel suffocated.

Vitamin M seems to be taking control over my life, my thoughts.I realise vitamin M is just as important as other vitamins that my body needs. Too little of it makes me unhealthy and too much makes me goes into toxication. Someone screamed to my sanity " Strike a balance!"....would anyone wants a balance?? Most of them rather be poisioned.

Toxication? De-toxification? Make a choice!
I need to detoxify! Here's the information I have gathered....

Definition for "Detoxification"
Detoxification is a process in which the body is allowed to free itself of a drug(Vitamin M). During this period, the symptoms of withdrawal(feeling helpless, etc.) are also treated. Detoxification is the primary step in any drug treatment(Vitamin M treatment) program, and is used as the initial phase in treating alcohol, heroin, inhalant, sedative, and hypnotic addictions and (Vitamin M).

Being in a Japanese firm for too long...it's definitely a MUST to list the "PURPOSE"!
Purpose
The goal of detoxification is to clear the toxins(Vitamin M) out of the body so that the body can adjust and heal itself after being dependent on a substance. In order for the recovering person to stay abstinent on a long-term basis, detoxification needs to lead into long-term community residential program treatment or outpatient drug treatment lasting three to six months.
