CNY 初三
Quickly went to cook her porridge around 4pm and had to get everything ready by 5pm as Hubby wanted to go there early. He wanted to bring Sherry to see boat as he thought that the dinner was at Raffles Marina. But it was already close to 6pm when we left the house and the dinner place was at Raffles Country Club instead. Hahaha… Blur Daddy…
We reached there in 15 minutes time and so happened to meet everyone downstairs. After taking the family photo, we proceed to have our dinner, while Sherry has her porridge. They did not have enough baby chairs so we had to let her run about in the restaurant and luckily I’ve got so many aunties and cousins to follow her around. She had lots of fun and made everyone so happy.
After dinner, we went over to 2nd auntie’s house, stayed a little while and sent Yi back to her hostel and den headed home. Sherry was so excited and kept on talking (in her language) and only stopped when her 小姨 alighted from the car. Keke…. And then, she fell asleep when we are about to reach home… Hahaha… my little girl…

CNY 初二, lion dance @ Granny house
After settling down, it was almost 12pm, quickly went to scoop a bowl of porridge for my little girl and she finished it in a while. We left for granny house around 130pm and was already late for the lion dance.
We did not expect them to be so punctual and arrive at 2pm sharp. Sherry was very fascinated at the same time, she is afraid of the loud drums but she wants to watch! My silly girl, how not to have the noise? Keke… We had stayed upstairs almost throughout the whole show. Once awhile, someone will come and asked if she wants to go down and in awhile she wants to come back.
After all these, 3rd auntie brought down some toys and she just played with them and refused to have her milk and nap. So we left around 430pm, and she managed to have her milk in the car and of cos sleep while drinking.
She was still sleeping when we were home; she had about 3 hours nap! Luckily we came back home early, all the relatives from MIL’s side had not arrived yet. Since she was very busy in the kitchen, I just stayed away from there and forgot to cook porridge for my little girl. It was good in a way; MIL had no choice but to give her some rice (keep telling me that she is too young, OMG!) Sherry enjoyed rice so much and even asked for a second helping.
I think she was still tired, and she fell asleep around 10plus when all of them went off. After helping MIL to pack a little, we all went to La La Land..

CNY 初一
After that, we went to Punggol another temple before proceeding to MIL’s youngest uncle house. We stayed there for lunch and he asked if we still want to go to Granny house, I just tell him flatly, go home! So in the end, we went back home. All of them had their rest while I was busy preparing Sherry’s porridge in the kitchen.
I’ve to bring the porridge to Felicia’s house and fed her there. Felicia was already home by the time we reached there. The 2 girls had lots of fun and Sherry refused to go back home. And then, Hubby came and snapped @ me again, when he asked if we are going back and I told him, I’m actually waiting for him. Arrrrgggghhh… I was so pissed off and purposely stayed back to let Sherry play some more and when he asked again, we just packed and left.
It was around 11pm that BIL came over to my place and they just sit there and watched TV while I prepare Sherry for her bed time. What a day and what a way to start a new year!!!!

Eve of CNY
Nothing much, except that MIL is very busy preparing the food for the reunion dinner and I just keep clear of the kitchen.
I just accompanied my girl here and there as she keep asking for Ma-ma only, not wanting Daddy or even 奶奶.
BIL & his wife come over around 7 plus and almost immediately we start the dinner. They stayed awhile and leave around 10plus and by then Sherry was already in La La Land.
Friday, January 27, 2006
We thought… (no half day.. sob)
We all worked till 530pm and Hubby is able to leave at 3pm. He hang around in the office till 345pm and went off to a little shop and came to pick me around 555pm. When we reached home, Sherry was about to have her dinner and then we settled down to have ours.
The rest of the evening are just routine, playing and reading and then bed time.

Facial so went home late..
In the end, I did not manage to get anything on my shopping list as it was already very late when my facial ended.
I went to meet Hubby @ 945pm and went back home and Sherry refused to go to bed! When we saw her, I asked her, how come so late still have not gone to bed. She just looked at me. So I asked again are u waiting for Mummy?? Guess what she nodded her head lei!!! I was so happy and was in cloud nines!!!! This proves that she wants me in the evening even though she would still unknowingly look for MIL.
After my shower, played with her for a little while then shoo her to bed. MIL said that she had refused but I still managed to coax her and in no time the both of us are in La La Land..
Tuesday, January 24, 2006
Here again…
But the only thing that I’m looking forward to is my facial appt @ 730pm which has been long overdue. Keke…
Oh yes, here's a little funny conversation between my manager and me (in a very soft tone)
CL : Do u want to work full time with us?
ME : (Blur look) Of cos I want lah.. (laughing inside)
CL : I've told boss about this and he say he is looking into it.
ME : Orh, okie...
CL : I told him u are capable and ask him to confirm you. Now let him talk to you lah.
ME : Okie.
Haha... I find him so funny lei, discuss all this in the open with so many people around. But anyway, thanks for his compliment and I'm waiting patiently for my Controller to let me know the outcome.

Long time no meet…
Since Rayner was still having fever so Jan did not sent him to school so we managed to meet up.
So nice of Jan to get the scallops from Isetan for me so that MIL no need to go n search high & low for the better quality ones. We had arranged to meet at our usual hunt and as usual yakked all the way home. The train just seems to be flying back and we don’t seem to have enough time to yak more!
The two ladies alighted at CCK, one to meet her ah lao, the other went for medi & pedi (I bet, u all can guess who is who lah), while I went to YT alone. I thought Sherry did not come down to wait for me but still meet her over the bridge. She did not want to go back as she had not gone over to the other side for her evening stroll. But we still managed to ‘bluff’ our way thru. Keke…
When I was home, quickly went to have my shower and dinner so that I could spend some quality time with my darling baby.…
Late delivery …
Today supposed to be the 2nd delivery of the sofa but they are still unable to keep to the promise. So angry with them lei, but I told Hubby that I’ll leave it to him to sort out with them and in any instance that he wants me to speak up, then I’ll do it.
ANGRY!!!! They better make sure that they will make the delivery on Wed if not they will definitely get it from me!!!!

Mum’s Place
But we went to Heartland Mall @ Kovan first to meet Pin for lunch after that we took a train back to Hougang Mall. We meet Yi there and do a little shopping before we went back home. It was around 3 plus when we were home and by then, Mum was just getting ready to sleep. I managed to rock Sherry to sleep and she slept for about 3 hours or so.
We left early as Mum & Dad wanted to go to the hospital to visit our grand-uncle who is very ill and was admitted into SGH.

Saturday
Today we are going to deliver all the CNY goodies to some relatives and we set off after Sherry had her lunch and was only back around dinner time and all of us are so dead tired so today was also an early night for all us. (esp, me lah, woke up at 630am to do my work without Sherry disturbing me).
Tomorrow will have to wake up early again to start on another section of my work… Yawn, sleepy lei…
Playgroup
This morning had brought her to the school to register and make payment of $828. There’s the breakdown of the cost.
1) School fees - $550 for 10 weeks (1 term)
2) Deposit - $220
3) Registration fee - $40
4) 1 set of uniform - $18
It’s all so exp hor, but no choice, my Hubby wants to send her there. I’m for it too, cos the main thing is that it’s so near to my place (it’s just opposite). So MIL do not need to worry about traveling.

Busy with Auditors till Friday
The only thing that is different from the Nov time is that I do not need to stay back late in the office to show them the entries. I’ve learnt my lesson and dated all my vouchers!! That really saved me lots of trouble.
But, I did manage to steal out some time to go shopping with Kat… Haha…

Shopping with Kat!!!
We had decided to go Bugis for our little shopping trip. After meeting outside Guardian, we went off to have our dinner before proceed to shop. First stop was Leather Ark as we wanted to get a picture of the sling bags for Jan. Next was to Watson to get some stuff and then we went to Seiyu. We did not spend much time there compared to the Children’s’ department. We bought a same jumper for our girls and they are the last 2 on the rack.
It was already around 9pm and as it was raining, the taxi q is soooooooooooooo long! So we decided to call of 1 instead. In around 10 mins, it arrived. We had told the driver that he’ll have to let me alight @ the MRT station and then Kat proceed on with her journey home.
Sherry was already asleep when I was home. I’ve also received 2 dresses from the auction, the pink dress & the purple one. The purple one looks a little too big for her but the pink one is just nice. But MIL said that they dun like nice at all. I was so sad!!
Anyway, after settling down, it's also time for me to go to La La land...

Mission Accomplished!!
Although the second surprise, came kind of late but at least it braved thru the rain and arrived in the recipient’s hand safely. Kekeke…
After all these, all of us then managed to work a little for that day. We were so excited for her and were unable to work at all… Haha…
As usual, meet Kat at the usual place and yakked all the way home, topic for the day… our special mission… hehehe…
Happy Birthday to our dearest Jan…
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you-you
Happy Birthday to you…
*p.s. Yeah (loudly) – by Sherry
*Hope you enjoy your day & most importantly 身体健康

CNY Shopping @ Chinatown
It was pretty crowded for a weekday but there are nothing much to see. Yes, there are plenty of stalls but most of them are selling the same things. We spent about 3 hours walking around, squeezing with the crowds and trying out some samples. Keke…
In the end we bought 3 柚子, some peanuts and some 瓜子, that’s all for our shopping spree. And of cos, Sherry had lots of fun and we are so tired after carrying her throughout the whole shopping trip…
Still no Sofa!
We were waiting for the delivery and the delivery only came around 12 plus while I was feeding lunch to Sherry. She was watching her daily routine, Barney while having lunch. But to our surprise, the sofa was not the one that we wanted. We had ordered Dark Grey and the longer side is on the left but it came as Dark Brown and the side is on the right instead. Of cos we did not accept the goods even though, the delivery man asked us to compromised but how to do that! So we asked them to bring back.
And of cos Hubby called the shop and checked out what has happened. But they were unable to give us a satisfactory answer. Anyway, they had spoilt all our plans for the day!

Mum’s place in the day, Felicia’s place in the night
We went off around 9 plus while my parents sending小妹 back to the hostel. Instead of going home straight, we went to Felicia’s place to check out her Daddy’s sound system. It seems like it was not working so he wanted Hubby to go and take a look.
While, the men are checking out the system, the kids are having fun in the room. We are really said that Sherry is very attached to Felicia even though she is not always by her side.
We just stayed there for an hour or so, and Sherry dozed off on the way home.

What to do...
At first, he was planning to leave us at Raffles City for some shopping while he proceed with the photo shooting but it was called off as Sherry was having her nap. It was in a way good, cos he took 4 hours to come back. I was really damn pissed off with him! Hai.. but no choice right! Angry also no use so have to leave it as it is.
Tonight is an early night for all of us. Early reporting to La La Land…
Super late Friday night
After dinner and spending some time with his girl, he left after she had gone to bed. I was very angry with him and so I decided not to talk to him the whole night. He left home around 1030pm without saying where will he be. The only thing he said to me was that he will not be late. What is will not be late!!! I was angry!!!
Since he was not beside me, I did not have a good night sleep too. Cos I kind of waiting for him too. Can anyone guess what time did he come back home??? Right, it was 3am!!! 3am is not too late!!! Then what is late??? I really don’t understand how could all these friends of him to be like this, they are all fathers too! Hai…
And of cos, he will be feeling sleepy and nodding away throughout the day. I can definitely bet on that!!!

Change Again
I’ve saw this @ the Taka counter but they are only left with the smaller size like 24, 24 & 26. And our dear Jan went to Isetan to take a look and found that there are still some bigger sizes. I’m so tempted to get one for myself as I’ll be able to save at least $60 (which equals to all Sherry’s clothes from the auction). Kekeke…
Hopefully, I’ll be able to go & try out during the weekend as I would also like to save the $$ for Hubby. *pray hard*

Arrival of my goods...
The CNY dress is a little lengthy and slight big on her. But she still looks nice in it, so no regrets of spending the money.
The pink set fits her wonderfully well, and she looks so cute in spaghetti straps!
The other pink dress also fits her well and she looks sweet too.
As for the top, she looks alright in that but the only thing is that the top is like very big horizontally instead of lengthy. So it just looks weird but it can still fit her well.
Now I’m only waiting for another pink pleated skirt and another yet to close bidding, then I’m almost done with Sherry CNY clothes.
p.s. I noticed that all the items I bought are sleeveless so pls pray hard that it’ll be hot & sunny instead of rainy like now.. Kekeke…
Tuesday, January 10, 2006
Nothing much
Went to pack Sherry's cabinet and found that she has about 7 sets of new clothes besides those that I've bought from the auction. Looks like I might have to stop shopping for her and get something for Hubby & myself instead. keke...

Dinner with the gals
Since I was early, decided to go for a short shopping trip before going to the venue. I was shopping at the Levis counter when I saw the Sam family. Kekeke… I had forgotten that Jan had permed her hair and was still searching for a straight hair lady when I first saw David. Hahaha… Silly me. Had a brief chat with Jan and off to meet them. But before I went to the restaurant, I saw the Fox boutique having special offer again, 3 pieces for the price of 2. So I went to pick 2 top and 1 spaghetti strap top and of cos the latter one is free so I only pay $13 for 1 top which is pretty cheap. Keke..
I was the second to arrive and we had quite a fun time although there were only the 6 of us instead of the usual 9. Since Hubby also went for his Company Dinner @ Toa Payoh Hub so I went off to meet him around 10 plus.
I was thinking if MIL had fell asleep in the room, we shall not wake her up. But to my surprised, she had not so she went to her room when we had settled down to sleep.
Another dress..

First day w/o Sarong.
It was only around 4pm that she finally fell asleep. I had been unhappy for the whole day as MIL had been buzzing around us for the whole day. As she had been the caregiver in the day, of cos Sherry will be stickier to her instead of me. She knows that I’m unhappy about this issue but she just simply refused to leave us alone. She will come running to Sherry when she makes noise. But I’m trying my very best not to throw my temper too. She just kept hanging around us, just I told her off to stay away and I’ll handle Sherry myself.
Sherry seems to have a hard time to sleep but I think she was too tired so she just dozed off in her cot. And of cos, MIL still keep coming in and so worried that I did not do my part in looking after Sherry, like did not cover her with blanket. D*** 不爽 cos I did but Sherry just kicked it away as she must be feeling hot!
Anyway, I should say, Sherry had passed the day quite peacefully without her precious sarong. We’ll see how the days go by.

Surprised Visitors @ Mum’s place
As usual, Sherry seems to know that we are going out so she refused to sleep but she only dozed off on the way there. Met sister downstairs to pack our lunch and by the time we went upstairs, my little girl refused to sleep. But I still continue to rock her to keep her in the sarong. Her 2 阿姨 played with her will I had my late lunch.
I only managed to make her sleep around 5pm and suddenly, we had 2 surprised visitors. It was Uncle Felix and Auntie Jesline. They had went out with 小妹. We had managed to catch up with Auntie as we did not have the chance last week. She looks good and her gyane had mentioned that may be she will deliver early instead of in Apr.
They stayed for dinner and we carry on chatting till about 10pm. My little silly princess, saw them leaving and she cried so loud.
It took us awhile to coax her and we also left around 1030pm.
Kan Cheong!!
It’s not that I refused to pass on the things to them but I’m thinking she should put more thoughts into this type of issue before agreeing. I realized that so long as it’s people from her side requesting from her, she will immediately agree to everything without any thinking.
I’m just worried that Sherry is not used to not having the sarong and makes too much noise for me to bear. Alright call me a impatient mummy but I really cannot stand kids that are just making life difficult due to their distress!
Anyway, back to the issue. I’m very unhappy and of cos I show her face lah (dun care) and Hubby also not pleased with her actions. Luckily I’m going back to Mum’s place where there’s a sarong for Sherry to sleep in. But we’ll see how on Sunday as we have not plans to go anywhere.
Received the first 2 items

Sleepy Head!!!
After much coaxing, finally she went to bed around 1230am. She must have mixed up her timing. She must have thought that it was still early when I reached home. Keke… By the time she konz, I was already dead tired and no way I can start doing my stuff. So, told hubby that I’ll have a nap and wake up earlier in the morning to work.
Set my alarm at 430am but I woke up before that! I must be too worried that I cannot finish my work. So lazed on bed for 15mins and raise and shine (oops, still dark). After setting up, started to work straight till 630am and my morning routine of washing & sterilizing begins and of cos to get ready for work.
I hope I just dun dozed off in the office today!!

Hair Cut
This is the first time, I try Jean Yip. I should say their service is not bad just that the stylist did not suggest much and just cut & trim so end up, I’m having almost the same hair do.
After all these, it was already 9pm so quickly went to grab some light snacks and went back home. But Sherry was already sleeping.
Silly ME!!
So much of those thoughts, my ‘friend’ decided to pop by on Wednesday (which is supposed to be the actual day), I really felt a stone off my chest. When I take a closer look at my calendar, I then realized that I had been so worried for nothing! Kekeke... Really silly me… Hahaha…

Work, work & still work
Met Kat to go home and the journey really seems so short. In awhile we are already at Dover. When we reached YT, we din see Sherry waiting there, so went to a shop and also to Guardian. To our surprised, we saw them walking towards us. This girl nowadays refused to call people, so naughty still hide behind MIL to peep at us.
The rest of the evening will be eat, play & then, her bedtime while Mummy started to work in the room. Tired lei…

Rest @ Home Day
After her porridge, MIL wanted to go to 四马路 to buy some 干粮 for the CNY. We sent her there but we are unable to find a place to park our car, so Hubby let us alighted and he just went to somewhere else to wait for us. Her sister also came down to find us as they wanted to go out after MIL got all her stuffs.
After we parted our ways, Hubby suggested that we go to Lot 1, Kiddy Palace to get the Pigeon Sterilizer for his colleague whom is due to give birth soon. Who knows when we wanted to send the thing over to her place; we found out that she had just given birth and her Hubby will then come over to our place to pick up from us.
The rest of the evening is just normal routine, eat, play with Sherry and then of cos get ready for work the next day.

Second time in the Pool
Before we proceed to the chalet, we need to attend my Malay neighbor’s wedding lunch. We went over after Sherry woke up from her nap and the first stop was to Jan’s house to pass her the stuffs that had been sitting in my room for weeks. Sorry dear, it had been long overdue. But Jan was sleeping so arranged with Mr Sam to come down to meet me instead. After a short stay at the wedding lunch, we went off to Safra chalet.
It was drizzling when we reached there and it seems like we had to call off the water playing time. But luckily the rain had stopped and quickly changed Sherry into her shirt and pants before she goes to have fun with the Daddy again. This time she had so much fun that she wailed so loudly when Daddy brought her out of the pool as it started to rain again. We had a hard time coaxing her and when she was in the bathroom, she must have recalled the fall yesterday that she cried again. Or is it that she is not used to have her ah yee to bath for her. But we are in control of the situation in no time.
After everything, she had her porridge and then fun running up and down the stairs (of cos with someone’s help). And she is also like a ball, being passed around by the adults in my family, while mummy can have dinner peacefully.
We left around 10plus and she knock out once we hit the highway, which is just a few minutes drive out of the chalet. Kekeke… She must have been very tired after all these playing these two days.
First day of the brand new year
My new year’s resolution, to lose my lose fats on my flabby tummy and it’s time for me to put on my exercise gear, to do some work out! Kekeke… I know I say only, but I really hope I can achieve this!!
