Super Short Working Week

This is the shortest working week as I’ve also granted myself another day off on Wednesday.
Today is Monday but feels like Friday cos tomorrow is a PH (but still no sleeping in for me). As I’m going on leave on Wednesday that means that my rush hour had started earlier.
As usual, work & yak at the same time. Meet Kat home around the same time too, continue to yak all the way home.
Sherry was going for her evening walk, when I met her downstairs. I went back home, have a quick shower and dinner. But she came back before I’m done with my shower.
Evening passed as usual, play n read with her before her bedtime. She did not managed to wait for Daddy to come back & she is already in La La land.

Parking - $7.50?

After Sherry’s afternoon nap, we had decided to go to Taka, cos Hubby wanted to buy his shoes. We had gone to Waterloo Street before we went to Taka.
We were happily shopping and that little girl knows that MIL is with us, she begins to throw her temper. I just bring her away while she was wailing; Hubby said that I was behaving like a mad woman. SO ANGRY LEI! But not wanting to create a scene, so I just keep quiet. But I’m very sure that Sherry will not behave like this if MIL is not around! Hai!
After we had bought his shoes, we went for coffee at Coffee Bean before we went home. Sherry was enjoying the cheese cake and also the scones too. When we left Taka, the parking cost was $7.50! And we had a shock that is so expensive to park there but no choice!
Sherry did not sleep on the way home, so we diverted to Beauty World to take a look at the Mazda car. After awhile, we left and when we reached home, Sherry fell asleep after her bath. We brought her into her room around 10pm and she finished a bottle of milk before she carried on with her sleep. keke… little piglet..

Mum’s place.

Hubby had sent MIL to her friend’s place with Sherry while I stayed at home to cook her porridge. Looks like daddy is unable to handle his little princess on the way back, he was so stress when he came back.
After feeding Sherry the porridge, we went to mum’s place in FIL’s taxi. We both slept on the way there and there was no one home when we arrived. I managed to set up the sarong and put her down to rock. But this naughty girl make mummy rock her for like an hour before she finally knock off.
Mum had cooked some porridge for dinner and we really enjoyed it although it’s a simple meal. We left home early this week cos they need to go to the eldest uncle’s house for dinner and dad forbid as he is not happy with the way that stupid n unreasonable uncle is treating me. To me, it’s more than wonderful not to go, and would not be bothered what others will say.
No one was home and we quickly settled down Sherry to bed and so both of us can have an early night as Hubby was very tired after washing his precious car.

TGIF!!

Today is just a normal working day. But my rush hour had started early as I’ll be taking leave on Wednesday to have a longer holiday.
As usual, we are multi-tasking, yakking and working at the same time. Today will not be meeting any one of the ladies home as Jan has to rush home, Kat will be going to her MIL’s place.
Hubby had taken the morning half day off as he was given time off in the afternoon as he works last Saturday. Since he has the day off, I told him that I’ll go to work by MRT and if he goes out, he will come n pick me. He had decided to go and test drives the Mazda 6 at 2 showrooms. One of them had quoted him a better deal than the other. But he had not made up his mind on whether to go for power or comfort.
He came n pick me around 545pm and by 630pm I’m already home. Quickly go, have my shower before I settle down to have dinner with hubby. We are still discussing about the new car deals. I’m of cos more than happy if he can compromised on the Mazda 6 as we can save around $2,200 comparing to the REX. But still, it’s still up to him to come to terms with it. MIL had gone out to the old neighbor’s house which means that we managed to have some time together as a family.
After playing for a while, it’s bed time for Sherry. After settling and feeding her, she rolls about on the bed and in a while, she is in La La Land. And so is mummy and in awhile, daddy too…

27th October 2005

Today, RayAnne is 20 months old and Sherry is 17 months old. These two girls are just 3 months apart. And both mummies did not know each other until we both joined the Bayb Forum. It should say that fate has brought us together.
All these started with me browsing the forum, and found Jan who is also staying at YT. Me being very kaypo, I went to IM her and intro myself. It was there n then, we became the best of friends and slowly, our chat started to grow. More and more mummies started to join in the fun. Now we have 7 of us in the group. It’s so fun and kind of unusual to have such friendship at this age.
It was not long that we realized that our little princess is just 3 months apart. Keke… so there is no way that I’ll forget RayAnne’s birthday! Keke
Well… girls… have a fun time and enjoy the day..

Normal Wednesday

Nothing much happened except that we are all slightly more busy than usual which means we did not chat as much as before.
Since Jan’s mil had left of China on Monday, her mummy is helping her to look after the 2 Rays, which means, she’ll rush home to relieve her mummy, but that also means that she’ll have nice smelling Rays and return to a neater home too. So happy for her, at least she does not need to work herself out so much.
Kat was supposed to have an annual body check up but because for her ‘auntie’ visiting her, she has to postpone it. So we still meet to go back home. But instead of going back, we went to Chinatown as Kat mentioned that there was a shop that is having sales and selling everything at 3 for $10. She did not manage to see much over lunch time so we went back again. But we did not see anything we like. They are either too small or too thick for our weather. So we went home empty handed.
It was around 730pm, when I reached home and Sherry was having her nap. But she woke up when I was having my shower. Quickly settle my dinner so that I could spend some time with her before she goes to bed again. We had so much fun that she almost refused to go to bed. But after much persuasion, she agreed. The only condition is that she wants to follow me to the kitchen to make milk.
After her milk, she still keen to play with me but after I told her that it was already very late and it’s already almost 10pm, we should all go to sleep. She seems to understand and soon, she is in La La Land.

A Sad Tuesday!

Today is a very sad day. We had done something that we should not have and the 3 of us are feeling very down because of this. Although, we had apologized and decided to let bygones be bygones but it just not easy to do so.
We are all still filled with guilt and the day had just passed with sadness.

Dear, I’m still very sorry, although, you did not want us to say that anymore, but I being me will still say. Hope that all this unhappiness that we had caused will just go with the wind and also hope all these will not hinder our friendship. We know our mistake liao hope you really can forgive us! We are most willing to do something silly to make you feel better, just let us know; we definitely do it, without hesitation!

Thousands apologies!!!

I think I’ve carried the joke to far this time. I’m so sorry that I did not think of the consequences before doing that. It was just meant to be a little surprise but it turns out otherwise, which had really upset my day.
Friend, I really did mean to intrude into the privacy and I’m really very sorry about the hurt that I’ve caused!!! Come to think of it, I’m so silly to have done such a nonsensical thing!
I know, whatever I say will be too late now, but please accept my sincere apologies to you.

SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!

Different Thoughts on different Meet Up.

Tonight I’m meeting AL’s group for dinner. It has been a long time since we last meet up, although, it was only the 6 of us instead of the usual 9. But it’s feels so different from the Sunday’s gathering at Jan’s place.
Sunday’s meet up was all about kids, kids and still kids but last evening the topic was mostly on HIM! It really makes me feels like a young girl again. But, on the other hand, I’ve got mixed feelings about this.
I dare to say out loud that in fact I enjoyed myself more on Sunday’s meet up than last evening. Was it because that I’ve missed out a lot of meeting and the feeling is not the same any more? It’s kind of a wired feeling which I’m unable to put into words.
I guess, I’m now more into motherhood and baby talk more than talking or discussing about AL. Although, he still has a position in me but it’s just not the same anymore. Probably, Sherry has taken up a bigger position and so life is never the same again!
But anyhow, I still did enjoyed the time with them and I’m also looking forward to meeting them again, and this time hopefully, I can bring my little princess along.

Should I support his dream car?

Hubby had an appointment to test drive a car at the Subaru’s showroom at around 1130am and would be back in time to send us to Jan’s place.
He had mentioned that he’ll be test driving the Legacy but I had a feeling that he’ll be also test driving his dream car WRX, and which he DID!!! After all these, he went to Jan’s place around 3 plus to meet us.
During dinner, we had a brief discussion about this issue. I’m pretty sure that Rex is the car he wanted very badly. It’ll cost us around $800 plus per month of the installment which is cheaper than the present $991. But the only disadvantage is that the yearly insurance is slightly higher than now, but the road tax will be the same.
I’ve told him that if he really wants the Rex, he will have to cut down on any modifications and I also took the opportunity to tell him that I’m not keen to have another baby. But he just shh me off. Hai… what makes him think that we can have another one? I’m very sure that he wants that car very much. His eyes sparkle when we talked about the Rex and of cos he kept telling me he’s still considering to have ‘Power’ or ‘Comfort’. But I’m very sure that he would prefer ‘Power’ so had been telling him no need to think so hard liao, just go and make a decision. I’m very sure that he will not fall in love with any other car. I even told him, his love for the Rex and the same as my love for my dear AL, it’s comparable!
Should I leave this to him? I’m quite sure that he already had made up his mind at the fist place. And test driving another car will be just to prove that the Rex is still better. How? Hmm...

Happy Birthday Rayner!

Today is the birthday party for Rayner. We had arranged to meet at Jan’s place around 2 plus and we were the earliest although, we had gone there by bus. We were there around 230pm, next was Careen with Lui, Kat around arrived around 3 plus with Shannon after the cake cutting session while YL was the latest with her hubby and Calis. SL & Irene did not manage to make it. Irene was still on hospitalization leave, and SL was still having her cough so she did not want to pass the bug to the rest.
When we were there, Careen & I settled ourselves in the kids’ room while the rest of the crowd was in the living room. Jan, I must say that your house are really very child safe! How I wish my house is like this! But this is definitely impossible cos I have my PIL staying with me and their things are more than mine!
After the cake cutting session, we were guessing who our dear Jan’s MIL is. But when Jan wanted us to guess, both Careen and I hit the jackpot! She was the one in the orange stripe T-shirt! She had been giving us the feeling until we had the confirmation from Jan! Believe us, gals; she really looks like what our dear Jan had described! She really fit every single thing that Jan had mention!! If you gals had seen her, you gals will understand! Jan, I really understand your misery liao by the looks and the feeling your MIL had given me. It’s not that I’m biased or had read too much of what had been written but it’s the truth! She just gives the kind of feel!
In a short while, most of the guest had left and which only left our gang. And guess what, the few of us with our kids were doing our signature icon dance in Jan’s kitchen and were also behaving like little kids! Goodness, luckily the guys were engrossed with their own conversation or they just simply ignored us! Haha… we’re really enjoying ourselves in the centre of the kitchen…
We all left close to 5pm. Kat and Shannon hitched a ride from us as we need to go the Econ mini-mart near to her place. After grabbing the Gain IQ and Vitasoy, we also went back home. Sherry knocked out straight till 830pm and even missed her porridge.
She was a little cranky when she woke up but after a little coaxing, she was smiling and laughing with mummy. After changing and feeding her, she was tossing and turning on the big bed and later in her cot. She fell asleep when I left the room to have a shower before bed time.


Pictures taken by Kat... Thanks dear meow

Supposed to be

Today supposed to be meeting up Belle and Pin for a shopping trip but Yi called and asked what time am I going back home, she’ll like to hitch a ride from me. So called off the appointment, instead we went to pick Pin up from the centre and we just went home. We did not go shopping at the mall, and we spend the day at home. Even mum also did not want buy dinner; we all had porridge for dinner and of cos with steam fish that were brought home on the same day. Sherry enjoys eating them, and keeps asking for more. She is such a clever girl that knows how to appreciate nice & fresh fish!
Since Daddy has to attend a wedding dinner, so I’ve decided to take a cab back instead of asking FIL to come and pick us. So my dear sister went down with us and see us board a Mercs cab and off to home we went.
MIL was worried about her little Honey Sherry and went downstairs to wait for her but we only arrived after she had left. After settling down, went to make some milk for her with Sherry sitting on the kitchen table top cos I know that once MIL carry her, Sherry will refused to let me bring her into the room and will definitely be very cranky. So I just simply, refused to let her carry. After making the milk, we went to room and settle down and in no time, Sherry is in La La Land and in a short while, mummy too!! But I think daddy was back around 130am.

Runny Nose…

After the hoo ahh on the slight fever, Sherry is having a little running nose. I could felt that MIL is trying to find out where could she has caught the bug, or was it because; we did not cover the blanket for Sherry that causes the cold. But she knows that Sherry does not like to cover any blanket, she will just kick away the moment we put it on her!
Well, anyhow, I’ve already asked MIL not to give her any medication as we are not sure if they have expired! So to play safe, I’ve refused to give her any unless, it has worsen, which I’ll bring her to the doctor instead.
Anyway, she managed to fight the flu bug with her own immune system (which is better). Since, we are preparing the ‘guo dong’; we did not have enough ingredients, so MIL decided to go to Sun Plaza’s Red Man. In this case, I had to cancel my appointment with Belle and went to meet them at Sembawang’s MRT control station. We had a short shopping trip as there is also nothing much in the mall, so we left around 8 plus.
We had a fun time on the ride home and we still managed to spend some time playing before she decided to goes to bed. Daddy was late cos he had gone for a meet up with his forum friends.

Strange??

We are very puzzled! Sherry was having a slight fever last evening but this morning, it has gone down and she is playing and eating like any normal day. I had called back twice as at now, and MIL told me that she is fine. The fever had just seems like gone with the wind. But anyway, I’ve asked her to observe Sherry and call me once she found out that Sherry is not well. We have wired thinking about all these. Anyway, we’ll see how it is around the evening time, cos she was perfectly alright the whole day until last evening.
If the fever returns, I’ll have to ‘fly areoplane’ to my ex-colleagues as I’ll have to rush home so that MIL could goes to the first floor to pray. Let’s pray hard that it’s just a phrase and everything will be fine.

Feverish!

Received a call from hubby that MIL had told him Sherry is a little feverish. Her temperature was 38.3 degrees. She was wondering if I’m going back with him, if yes, will have to try to be early. But I’m not, cos I’ve arranged to meet Kat at the same time at our usual place.
When I’m home, quickly take her temperature, 1 ear is 37.9 degrees and the other is 38.1 degrees. We concluded that she could be just having a slight fever. I took out the fever medication from the fridge and noticed that the medication were dated in May n June. I was afraid that it may have expired, so called the clinic to clarify with the nurse. But the nurse was also not very sure about this. The doctor had told MIL that it can last for 6 months if, it is unopened and is in the fridge, but the nurse kept saying, three months. So which are correct lei, can anyone tell me?
But anyway, we had decided not to give her any medication since it’s a slight fever. If the temperature had gone too high up in the night, then we’ll give her 1 dosage of the medication.
She still can play as usual and still walk around the house as usual. She has the slightest sign of being sick. Hmm… so I’m still wondering what causes the fever. It was round 9pm plus that she decided to sleep. So brought her to wash up, brush her teeth, and changed into her pajamas. She had surprised me by finishing all her milk which I thought otherwise.
Tonight will be a sleepless night for mummy, who will have to keep waking up to see my little girl… Tired lei… hai.. Hope she’ll be fine tomorrow…

Normal Tues Day

Nothing much had happened in the day, and all of us were busy with our work. There was a special appearance by Irene after lunch. We yakked for a little while and Irene went off as she did not want to disturb our work.
Managed to meet Kat as usual, but today she’ll be alighting at CCK instead as she needs to return her library books. We parted 1 stop earlier and by the time I reached YT, MIL & Sherry had already gone home. So since, I’m unable to exchange the shampoo to conditioner in the Guardian, I went into NTUC to get one.
When I’m home, little Sherry is playing with MIL in her room, quickly went to have my shower and settle down for dinner. She was in the playpen watching the TV while both MIL & me having our dinner in the kitchen.
After all these, went to play & at the same time read the books to Sherry, and soon, it’s her bedtime. This silly girl, while I was making milk, she had bitten her own finger and was wailing so loudly. Quickly pacify her and brought her into the room to give her milk. This little girl, just because of this, she refused to go into the cot to sleep, so out of no choice, I left her sleeping on the bed and transfer her into the cot later.

Another Quiet Day.

Today is another quiet day in my office. My FC is working from home and everyone is so busy with the work, which includes me lah. keke
It’s also quiet in the chat as Jan is on medical leave and Careen whom had overslept, had taken the day off too, which means only leaves with Kat & me. But Kat is busy clearing her emails and I’m busy with my work, and so we did not even chat much. Careen and Jan both did log on at different time of the morning so we still did not manage to get the both of them together. May be we can meet to go back cos Kat may be going to SIL’s place instead.
Now it’s pouring cats & dogs outside and really wish that I’m home with Sherry so that I can also ‘nuah’ when she sleeps. Now am green with envy on those who are not in the office. Hai…

Short Shopping Trip @ Lot 1

Since, I’ve finished my dinner very early; we decided to bring Sherry out to Lot 1 for a short shopping trip.
I did not let her down very much as was afraid that she was unable to balance and fall down again. So she was in my arms most of the time. We just window shopping most of the time and had saw a few pieces of nice clothes, may be will come back to get them.
In the end, we got the following

1) Another pair of ‘tsk tsk’ shoe for Sherry
2) 4 bread buns for breakfast for both Mummy & Daddy
3) 1 pcs of cake for Sherry to snack
4) 1 tube of Autosol for cleaning the cooker hob
5) 1 packet of peanut snack

We left Lot 1 close to 9pm and let Sherry has some fun with her new shoes in the playpen. I settle her for bedtime and she only knock off around 1030pm, which was kind of late for this little princess.

Time Off on a Quiet Day in MSN

I was thinking of taking an hour off to go back and observe Sherry as she had her chicken pox jab yesterday and of cos the baluku she had last night. I
Spoke to my FC about this and it’s so nice of him to tell me that I did not need to replace back the 1 hour off. But of cos I feel bad and will try to work to compensate back.
Today Kat is on leave to bring Shannon for her MMR jab, which left only Jan, Careen & me. In the afternoon, Careen left for HQ meeting and only left Jan & me. Later around 430pm, I’ll be leaving too, so only left Jan. Luckily Irene came in and chatted with her when I was going to leave the office. So at least, she will not be so lonely. Today is a lonely and quiet day in the chat room. Life is never the same with either one of the khakis. Kat, although you are only on 1 day leave, we still miss you very very much.
It’s time for me to leave the office. I bet my MIL must be very surprised to see me home so early… keke

First Call from Sherry

I’ve just received the first call from Sherry just now! I’m so excited and quickly blog this down!
My little girl just happened to dial my office direct number while playing with the cordless phone. When I picked up, it was such a familiar background and when she heard my voice, she begins to speak her language. My little girl started to baby talk and she even knows to address me (of cos, calling me papa). She knows that mummy is on the line but she still dunno how to address me properly. She keeps on rattling on and on.. Then I heard MIL talking to her so I called out to her. Sherry had taken the phone out from the charger. Keke
Although she did not call me on purpose, but I’m still very happy… keke… my little girl call me for the first time..

Chicken Pox Jab & A Knock on the Head Again

We had decided to let her had this jab but the only problem is when. It was a last minute decision to let her have it today. So I’ve called Raffles Hospital to make an appointment on Sunday since Dr Thomas Wong is duty.
We leave the house around 11 plus after I’m also done with her porridge, just need to add in the fish when we are back. She fell asleep while we were almost there; we woke her up when we arrived at the hospital. She was the next one when we arrived. She starts to walk around and play with the toys that are in the corner.
Before it was our turn, the nurse took her weight and height, now she weighs 10.2kg and is 81cm tall. In no time, it’s our turn, Dr Wong started off by mixing the solution and then a short assessment of Sherry and then the jab is ready. She is such a sweetie, she just make a little cry and was easily clamed down with some distraction of the toys. When she had clamed down, I gave her some water. Before we left the room, she even waved good bye to Dr Wong and then off she goes walking again.
This time, she did not fall asleep; it was mummy that fell asleep on the way back. When we reached home, the porridge is ready. Quickly let her settled down, then feed her porridge and let her have her nap.
She had an almost 3 hours nap. She seems alright when she wakes up, but this KS mummy keeps observing if she is running a fever. When I try to take her temperature, she thought that it’s so fun and keep asking me to take a few more times for her. *my silly girl*.
In the evening, she was playing with MIL while the both of us have our dinner. Out of the blue, I heard her cries. This girl had a knock on her head when she was trying to get up on her feet. She may have a bad knock that she is wailing so badly. I had a hard time pacifying her and of cos it was also because MIL keeps on wanting to carry her. I asked hubby to ask her to go away, while I try to pacify her again. In the end, I brought her down for a short walk. She is back on her feet in no time and MIL keeps blaming herself that she did not take good care of Sherry. She was almost at the brink of crying again. Luckily I brought Sherry away from her. There’s a blue black at the same spot again. Hai..
Quickly settle her for her bedtime. She fell in asleep in no time. At the same time, MIL still feeling guilty and she even wanted to sleep with Sherry and I just turn her down flatly. Both mummy & daddy also fell asleep in no time..

Short stay at Mum’s place

We only went to mum’s place in the evening around 4 plus. Sister came over from her hostel to hitch a ride back home.
Sherry had a fun time walking around the house, while mummy and grandmother cooks her porridge. Daddy was with her and following her walking in n out of the kitchen. After the porridge, she said that she was to ‘ngo ngo’ so I had to set up the sarong. And to my surprise, she really fell asleep in no time and we all can have our dinner in ‘peace’. After dinner, both mum & dad brought her out for a short walk and when she returns she wants to go back.
She keeps rubbing her eye trying to say that she wants to sleep so she wants to go back. When her grandmother asked her if she wants to go home, she keeps nodding her head. After mum had packed her weekly supplies of threadfin fish, fish bone and pork bone, we are ready to leave the house.
She had a great time talking in the car (in her own language) and we reached home, she was still walking around and playing with her toys. After all the cleaning up and her feed, she fell asleep in her cot and of cos, mummy & daddy follow suit.

Go Away Mozzies!!

Dunno where did MIL found this to keep mozzies away from Sherry and it seems pretty effective, mayb u gals wanna try this out.
She had been added 2 or 3 star aniseed and a littl fennel seeds into Sherry's bath tub for her to bathe. If you are not using the tub for the kids, just need to add those into a container of lukewarm water and give the kids a final rinse.
According to her, its very effective and she even feels it herself less prone to mozzie bites. All the above spices are very common and will be able to get them from the NTUC.

Special appearence

Jan was on mc for 2 days and the gals must have missed us so bad as, our little chat room only left Kat and Careen. *gals, I miss u both too!!* ..
Since Jan brought the kids out for a shopping trip, had arranged to meet her at 6pm and since Careen’s boss in not in the office, she also left early to meet the 2 Rays. Jan must be surprised to see Careen and I must say that she had really lost quite a lot of weight. So we had an enjoyable trip back home. Met little Sherry at the station, had a brief chat and we parted our ways.
The rest of the night is the same routine, prepare for the little girl to bed and of cos mummy also fell asleep with her.. keke

Discharged!

Today is THE day. I was ‘screaming’ for work, so luckily the IT guy managed to get me a temporary laptop to work on. So, I quickly rushed out the GST report and also the some other work. Around 3 plus, it was discharged!! And I managed to try out everything to make sure that everything is working fine before I announced to him that everything is fine. Quickly log on the msn, and had a brief chat with the gals before logging off to meet Jan and Careen.

Nothing to do day.

My laptop was due to be discharged from the hospital today, since I’m done with my own filing, I went to search for other things to do.
Went to arrange the agreement files and at the same time packed my FC’s room. But even I had completed all the above, I still have so much time on hand. Die liao, nothing to do, so sian. Spend the rest of the time, reading up the user guide and at the same time, chatting with colleague.
Left the office at 530pm sharp and bought 2 t-shirts for myself while waiting to meet Kat. Today no matter what happens, have to meet her if not I’ll miss her for the rest of the week. Already not chatting on the msn, so die die also have to meet her.
We parted shortly when her feeder bus arrives. After dinner, read to Sherry and then prepare her for bed time. As usual, she fell asleep in no time.

Replacement of Laptop Day

Today will be the day that my laptop will be hospitalized. Since, I need a patch of my TA system, so I told IT about the rest of the problem I faced with my old laptop, he suggested that he will replaced a ‘new’ one for me. *Yippie*.. Although, it’ll be a second or third hand laptop, but I’m still very happy to have the old one replaced.
Worked for half a day and I had to surrender my laptop to the ‘doctor’. So I quickly inform the gals that my laptop had been hospitalized as I did not want them to think that I went MIA (have to write punishment letter wan lei, keke). He told me that it’ll be ready by the end of the day and so I spend the rest of the day doing my long over due filing.
Around 4 plus, it was still not ready, quickly arranged with the gals on the going back timing. And it happened that Jan will be meeting us again (double happiness). By 530pm, it was still not out yet, so I told him to release it to me tomorrow instead, as I need to leave to meet our dear Jan.
As usual, when the power of 3 meets, the yakking is uncontrollable. Keke… So we just continue to yak till CCK where Jan is supposed to meet her ah lao. Then Kat and me, just continue to yak for another station and we parted shortly.
After playing a little while with Sherry, its time for that princess to go to bed, so finish cleaning, changing, I went to make some milk for her and in no time, she is in La La Land.

Appearance of Guest Star.

I forgot that I need to scan all the invoices for my FC. *die liao, have to quickly do liao*… Who knows, he handed 2 sets of agreement for me to scan too! So I had to spend the whole morning to do the scanning in another room and so did not chat much with the ladies.
In the afternoon, there is a piece of wonderful news cos Jan told us that she’ll be able to meet us home. *Yippee, the power of 3 resume for 1 day* So happy & excited to meet up again. The feeling is just different without either one of them, and now I got so addicted that it doesn’t seems right to go back alone.
Since, the Sam household does not owe a car, Jan had to alight at CCK to meet her hubby and at the same time get their dinner. So we have to part at CCK station instead of YT. When we reached YT, little boss was not at there so both Kat & me went to the NTUC to get some groceries. In no while, Kat’s feeder bus arrives and we parted. MIL & Sherry were not at home, I must have missed them. Quickly, settled down, had my shower and then have my dinner before Sherry is back. Halfway through, they came back, they were at the other side of the shopping area while I was in the NTUC.
It was only 730pm and so I decided to go the doctor for my bloated tummy that had been with me for weeks. Sherry was already getting ready for bed when I’m home around 8pm. So while MIL was dressing her up, I went to make some milk for her. In awhile, MIL went to her old neighbour’s place and left the both of us in the room.
In no time, Sherry is in La La Land , and me too after taking my medication.

Celebration of Mum’s Birthday.

Mum’s actually birth date falls on Tuesday and we will not be able to go back to celebrate for her. So we had decided to celebrate for her on Sunday.
We’ve let little Sherry had her lunch and her nap before we left to mum’s place. We reached mum’s place around 4plus 5. We let Sherry walked around in the house and she was so happy that she could laid her hands on her ‘xiao yee’s’ tigger. She was so engrossed looking at the little tigger that she bumped into the arm chair. OMG!! The bang so loud and she cried so loudly too. But luckily I was there to pacify her immediately (may be becos MIL is not there). So I’ve decided to put her down for a nap and forcefully rock her to sleep and she managed to nap for around 1 and a half hours.
Dinner was ready when she’s awake. The rest of them had their dinner while I feed my little girl. Dad had bought my favourite dish, chilli crab! After feeding Sherry, I can slowly enjoy my dinner while the Daddy and the grand-dad played with her. After we had a very filling dinner, we had some cake. We had bought a very small cake for our dear mummy… *keke*… small cake for all the 6 of us…
After all the celebrations, its time for my parents to send my sister to the hostel, so we all left at the same time. I thought that Sherry would want to sleep on the way back but, she did not. MIL was already home before us, let Sherry walked around the house before we prepare her for bed by telling her to brush her teeth.
After all these, washing, bushing and her milk feed, I left her with Daddy and went for a shower before I went back to the room. Both Daddy n daughter are in La La Land, and soon, mummy too…

1st Shopping trip!

Today we went as planned!! Daddy is going to the office to clear some paper work, so I’ve decided to bring little Sherry out for a shopping trip and we took the MRT. She had been on the MRT before but not on a long distance to town!
In fact I had arranged with sister to go to the Suntec as the Body Shop is having the warehouse sales, but had to call off the idea as I’ll have to come back home to prepare for the birthday party. So we had decided to go to the Raffles City instead. We had arranged to meet at 2pm outside Starbucks. Sherry did not recognized her immediately and she needed some coaxing and playing before she knows that her ‘ah yee’. We went to the foodcourt for lunch before we proceed on our little shopping trip.
Throughout most of the trip, we let Sherry down to walk instead of carrying her in our arms, and this little girl enjoyed it very much. Once a while, she’ll looked up to me and give me a big n bright smile! Such a sweetie pie!
But something happened during the trip. While we were walking in Robinsons 2nd level trying to exit, here comes a little boy around 2 or 3 yrs old, walking rapidly towards us and the next moment one of his hand is one Sherry’s hair! He is pulling Sherry’s hair! OMG!!! I shouted at him and the maid did not even say anything to me! I was so furious!! So when his mum came over and asked what happened, I told her off, what her son had done to little Sherry, and before she could say anything, I just walked away, angrily! Luckily my little girl was not frightened by the incident. When I asked her is she alright, she just nodded her head and carry on walking.
We left the shopping mall, around 4pm and instead of meeting Daddy, we took the train back again… When we reached home around 5pm, she knocked off also immediately after her milk, must have been tiring for her.. *keke*..
Yippie! I managed to bring my little girl out w/o any help, shall do it more often from now on wards. Oh yes, forgot to mention what she had done in the train. Waving, saying hi and smiling at strangers. Keke, so sweet right.. *proud mummy*

Super Late for the Birthday Party!

Sherry must have tired herself out during the shopping trip, that she had a nap for 2 hours. She woke up at around 7 plus and had her porridge. By the time, we managed to leave the house, it was around 9pm. So by the time, we reached Pasir Ris, it was almost 10pm, most of the guests had already left and I’m almost the last few to turn up. But at least I still turn up right! *keke*..
We stayed for a while and after a little chat with Joanne, we left around 10 plus close to 11pm. Although, there is no one to play with little Sherry, she still enjoyed walking on the carpet grass and also around the big compound.
Today must have been the most tiring day for little Sherry but she did not knock off on the way back. So when I still managed to give her some milk before she went to La La Land. Mummy is also very tired but it’s a fruitful day for the both of us.

Birthday Present

Tomorrow have to attend Joanne’s son’s 1st birthday party. I’ve not seen that girl for the longest time, so was telling hubby that I should attend the party. But now then I realized that I did not buy any present yet. So our dear Jan offered to go to Isetan to look out some things for me.
She had sent me 3 MMS of 3 different toys for me to choose, so in the end, I chose the shape sorter as the present. Hopefully, he will benefit from this little gift from me. *Thanks my dear friend, so peiseh to trouble you lei*..
So now, I’ve got the present and will just bring my little princess there to enjoy ourselves.

Guest Stars

Today Kat had reminded me that she has to attend her newly signed up aerobics classes, which means she no longer goes back with me on Thursday and of cos Friday (she goes to her MIL’s place)!
While I was upset that Kat will not be meeting me, Jan offered to meet me. Yippie!! I’m so happy to be able to meet Jan. The one thing is that I cannot be late! If I’m late, Jan will be late to meet her hubby at CCK interchange. So die die I also leave on the dot to meet her.
Before leaving the office, Careen told us that she’ll be meeting us at Jurong East MRT to collect her things from Jan too. So I’m so happy to meet 2 guest stars, one to go back till CCK and the other at Jurong East MRT… keke
Time really files when there are some company be it with Jan or Kat. But I really miss those days when the power of 3 meet. Hopefully do not need to wait too long for this to happen again.
May be we can consider to meet once a week instead, how about this Jan? *keke*

Back to Normal Working Day

Today hubby will be back to work after his 5 days leave. So all everything is back to normal. He sent me to work and I do not need to rush with the crowd to squeeze in the MRT.
Since, am done with closing, still can chat with the rest of the gals a little more than the past few days. And still can leave around the same time to meet Kat to go back together. We are both missing our dear Jan very badly ever since Monday. She has not been going back with us as she needs to meet her hubby at CCK interchange at a much earlier time. But she did promise to meet us once she has an opportunity to do so.
Sherry was not at the MRT to wait for me so after we alighted from the train. Both of us went into one of the shop and I bought a blouse for just $18. After that, we parted, Kat went after her bus, while I walked home leisurely and met Sherry downstairs. Brought her for a walk around the compound and went to the playground for a little while before we went back home.
Have a quick shower and dinner then settle down to play a little while with Sherry before her bedtime.

Rush hour over for Q3

At last, I’m done with my part of the closing for Sept 05; it’s now my manager’s turn to finalize all the reports. Although there are some guests in the office but that did not stop me from chatting with the gals. *this is something that I cannot do without, keke*...

Today is also Irene’s operation day, wishing her all the best and speedy recovery. Irene, we are here waiting for you to log on & chat after you have recovered or even when you are recovering at home... *keke*

Busy like a bee

Since today is the day for closing, I’m busy like a bee so did not chat much with the gals. *sorry ladies*.
I also forgot that there are many guests in the office and they will be here for 5 days, which means, I’ll have to cut down on chatting with the rest. *hai.. sad*… To make matter worst, from today onwards, Jan will not be able to meet us to go back home cos she has no car liao and her ah lao will be meeting her at the CCK interchange. *lagi sad*… Dunno when will the power of 3 resume again. Hai...
Luckily, I managed to rush out most of the things by evening and am still able to meet Kat to go back home. Sherry was waiting at the station with Daddy for me. After meeting me, we went home and then she had her porridge.
She was a little cranky when it was reaching her bedtime but she still refused to clean up and go to bed. I was still busy with my work and hubby still takes care of her (so nice of him). After much coaxing, managed to get her to wash up and also had her feed and she fell asleep in no time.
This poor mummy, still struggling with work till 1030pm and I also knock off in no time… keke

Working Sunday.

As stated, I’d to rush out all the invoices for approval as 3rd will be the closing. No choice but to rush out whatever I can.
Luckily, Hubby did not grumble much so I can just go ahead n do my work then I can have the rest of the day to spend with my family.
Nothing much had happened and we just spend the day at home, but with MIL sort of intruding.. Hai..

Wedding Anniversary!

Happy anniversary to you, ling... It has been 6 years since our wedding day and 9 years from our ROM date but everything was like had just happened yesterday! They are still so clearly on my mind! But time files lei, its so long ago liao hor…

Happy Childrens’ Day & Wedding Dinner

Today is Sherry’s 1st childrens’ day but this mummy and daddy did not get her any presents to celebrate. *sorry dear, but I know at least ah yee, got u something*
Since, yesterday was unable to go the school, was intending to go today but my little piglet sleep till 9am and so have to call off again. *sorry Jan, cannot go with u*
Daddy wanted to go to Tiong Bahru to cut his hair, so we left after Sherry had taken her lunch. While he is having his hair cut, the both of us went to have a short shopping spree. I managed to get some long pants with booties and some T-shirts. We also bumped into my second auntie who went there to look at the sofa bed by Sea Horse. Later went to the NTUC and got 2 bottles of Softener and a bottle of Shampoo which had been sold out at YT NTUC. I was so tempted to get another 2 packs of Nepia diapers but in the end I did not. We sent second auntie home, since it’s on the way.
After she had alighted, Sherry fell asleep in the car and we left her in her playpen when we reached home. By the time, she wakes up, its already time of her dinner, quickly feed her while Daddy went to have his shower and get ready for the wedding dinner.
When am done with Sherry, it’s my turn to get ready and then we left for the dinner with a bag packed with some biscuits and honey stars. She was very well behaved at the dinner and both of us were very proud of her! All the guests were looking and praising that she is such a pretty little princess.. keke… *proud mummy*
We left at around 10 plus and of cos she fell asleep on the way home again and she missed her milk feed again. For the first time, she had missed 2 feeds in the same day.
