Still busy work week - 27 to 31 Mar

This week still busy so not much of chatting with the gals… sorry dearies..

So nothing much to blog, everyday is work, work, work, den go home, play a while with Sherry den sleep… This had been my routine for the past 2 weeks. & I DUN LIKE IT!!!
When can I be like last time to chat with my khakis and have fun at work… sob sob..

How could I live without U... Gals....

Gals, how can I live without u all... I just freezed out when I stepped into the house. Sunflowers with 3 bears!!!! OMG!!!! I really cannot believe my eyes. At that moment, I cannot be even bothered with anything else! The whole world just seems to have stopped for that split seconds.
Gals, Thanks so much for all the effort, u gals really know how to brighten up my day (oops should be night)… keke..
Quickly took out my handphone to take a picture of the flowers given by my 3 buddies. (sorry ladies, have stay tuned for the photo). I was already smiling n grinning from side to side, nothing else matters. I’m like flying up into the sky.. Went on to thank all the 3 of them via sms, at that very moment, how I wish we are all logged onto the msn and we can just chat on n on again.
After I’m back to earth, quickly went to have my shower, dinner and then spend the beautiful evening with my little princess.
Oh yes, the thoughtful one, even help me to think of an excuse for receiving such beautiful flowers. Its here to congratulate my confirmation of my job after 1 year of being a contract. Keke… so clever hor… keke...

7… am or pm???

MIL had told me that she was going for karaoke session last night, but today I totally forgotten about it.
During lunch I went to Natures’ farm to get the yummy bears for Kat & Careen as the offer will ends on 31st Mar. So we had arranged to meet at JE @ 640pm. Since we had not met for a long time, we sat down to have a little chat. It was almost 7 that I received this @#%& call…

Phone ring…

Me :- Hello mummy
MIL :- Where are you? (angry tone)
Me :- I’m @ JE, will be home soon..
MIL :- I ask u to come at 7 lei, and not 7am u know!?
Me :- Ok lah, reaching home soon (puzzled & fuming mad)

She was just going for a karaoke session, what's the big deal. If it was other important appt, u would have reminded me when I called home on the same day and of cos I'll make sure that I'm home in time. I called Hubby immediately after I've hang up the phone. Told him what has happened and asked him to tell MIL to bring Sherry to YT instead of waiting for me at home.
BUT... she did not!!! Kat & I search the whole station and could not find them. So I suspected that she was still home and quickly walked home after bidding goodbye to Kat. True enough, she is there sitting on the sofa with a super black face! So I went in talked to Sherry and tell her that she can go off liao.
I was still fumming mad that I was not even hungry to have my dinner. I think Sherry knows that I was upset and she had been behaving her quite well. By the time when Hubby was home, she was already in La La Land and then I went to have my dinner cum supper...

Busy work week

This week is a super busy week for me. Firstly, we had just shifted to our new office. Secondly, I was back from my one week leave. Thirdly, it’s almost end of the month! So adding all together, busy busy busy n nothing but busy clearing work! I was so busy until I did not have the time to chat with my khakis… boo hoo hoo….
To add on to all these, Sherry was unwell since Sunday. I guess could be due to the short swimming session she had at Susie’s place. Well, I thought to let her have some fun and to have a dip in the pool but who knows she has been unwell since then. She had a slight fever on Saturday night and Hubby did not want to give her the medication! We waited till Sunday night when her temperature shot up again. This time, although she was not running a fever constantly, I insisted to give her the medication! But it was too late, her fever bloomed on Monday.
MIL was back from her trip and she brought her to the doctor and was told that her fever was around 39 degrees and was given some strong medication to bring it down. Luckily the fever went off on Tuesday evening but to be on the safe side, we gave her another dosage on Wednesday morning. And after all these, she developed cough & a slight runny nose. Hai… Mummy could not sleep well as I keep thinking that it’s my fault to bring her to the pool and she must have caught a cold then!
In short, this week had been the worst work week, on one hand; I’m rushing my work in the office and on the other, worried about Sherry as she is unwell.
Anyway, I’m glad that it’s all over now and she is fine and getting better with her cough..

Back to work in the new office

Today I’m back to work after my long holiday which I had spent most of the time at home with Sherry. We had official moved to the new office and most of the colleagues loved it very much. So far, we had received lots of positive comments about the office and most of them are very pleased with the seating arrangement except of one person. Anyhow, who cares with what is he thinking?
Although, I’m sitting near the reception area with June but we are both hidden in the room and no one is able to see us. We are like tacked in a corner... keke... I like this arrangement. Likely I’ve made the right choice to take the 2nd seat instead of the 1st seat near the door. This seat has a better 风水, cos I do not need to faced the wall when I work and people cannot stand behind me to see all the confidential things that I’m doing! Horary!!
I’ve spent 2 hours to unpack all my stuff and was so busy throughout the day to clear all my work. Luckily I managed to clear some emails last week and now just all the paperwork..
Left office around 9pm, went to meet ah lao and Sherry was already asleep when we reached home… tired and sleepy, quickly had some late dinner (may should say supper) den went off to La La land…

5th day – meet up with Jan & Mum's place Again Again

It has been a long while since the last time we met, so since I’m on leave and intending to bring Sherry to Orchard Road for window shopping, I’ve arranged to meet Jan for lunch. It was already almost 12pm when we are ready to leave the house and of cos with the slow moving vehicle, it was already 1215pm when we reached the train station. We are in the train quickly sms Jan to tell her that we will be slightly late.
We went to Pepper Lunch and Sherry has lots of fun playing with the rice after she had her share. After our lunch, we went to browse through the Baby fair but there isn’t anything much to buy. Time files when we had company, soon it’s 2pm and it’s time for Jan to say bye and head back to the office. We continue to walk around in Taka before I received that Hubby will not be home for dinner. In this case, called my mum telling her that I’ll be home for dinner again!
Since both of us are getting a little tired, we headed off to take the NEL back to Hougang. Sherry fell asleep while waiting for the train, guess she must be very tired... keke… We alight at Kovan and waited for around 10 mins for a taxi. She continued to sleep even though I put her down into the sarong.
It was almost 6pm when she woke up and she had taken a 3 hour nap due to the little shopping trip. Haha… Soon, its dinner time, and we had been giving her rice instead of porridge for the past 2 days.
Today, Hubby managed to leave slightly early than the past 2 days, so he came over to pick us home.

4th day - Mum's Place AGAIN??

Sherry refused to go to school today, keep telling me ‘mai mai mai’, no matter how much I coaxed her, she just simply refused. Instead she wants to go to my mum’s place. So out of no choice, brought her back to mum’s place and of cos I brought my laptop along, so that I can chat with the gals when she is having her nap.
She seems to have lots of fun at mum’s place till almost 9 plus. But Hubby was still busy with his system testing that he did not come over to pick us. So I’ll have to carry Sherry, a bag and the laptop bag home. So heavy lei, my shoulders are aching..
It was already almost 11pm when Hubby came back and both of us are already in La La land..

3rd day = Mum’s place

I’ve arranged for FIL to send us to mum’s place earlier than usual as I’ve also asked my mummy to cook lunch for Sherry. I was home around 12 plus but they are not home cos today happened to be my grand-uncle’s 49th day.
Sherry fell asleep without taking much of her porridge I think she must be feeling full after finished 2 baby biscuits. After she woke up, I just let my parents take care of her while I chatted with the gals. It had been 2 long days without chatting. OMG!! How I miss u gals.. I know u gals also miss me too right… keke… :p
After dinner, they wanted to go to granny house so we all went to Siglap. She was playing with ball & a motor car that she enjoyed so much and refused to go back home. Hubby has to work pretty late so my auntie sent me home instead. It was already 10 plus when I reached home and Hubby was just about to leave the office. So late… hai… By the time he reached home it was almost 1130pm and we chatted a little after he showed me his letter on his bonus. Not bad, he still maintained like last year around but I know he will be spending a fraction of this money on his audio system in his new car. Hai..

SAHM – 2nd day

Today after sending Sherry to school, we went to the NTUC together to get some stuff to cook dinner. After our breakfast, I quickly prepare Sherry’s porridge. Hubby went to pick her and she was had been crying during her snack time. Poor gal..
When she came back, fed her porridge and she fell asleep after having her bathe. I started the routine of washing and cleaning the house.
By 5pm I’m in the kitchen busy with Sherry’s porridge and also to begin to prepare dinner. Tonight, my Hubby surprised me by tell me that he will cook dinner while I feed Sherry’s her dinner. Keke..After dinner just play with her then chase her to sleep… keke..

First day as SAHM

This morning MIL went for her trip liao, and today also marks the beginning of me being a SAHM for one week.
Hubby is still on leave, so he looks after Sherry while I went to the market to buy some stuff to cook dinner. The busy day begins after I came back from the market. I managed to clean the house, wash some clothes and cook both Sherry’s porridge & dinner too. Although, it’s very tiring but I’m happy that I managed to do all these chores. I had not been doing all these ever since I’ve got preggie with Sherry so can u gals imagine how long was that? Keke..
It has been a long while since I whipped up some food for Hubby looks like he enjoyed the dinner. The way I cook is totally different from MIL, hers are the complex cooking whereas mine is the simple fare… keke…
After dinner, we just laze around and let Sherry play a little before chasing her to bed cos she has to go to school tomorrow.

Sun – At home

We wanted to go out for a ride, but we call off the idea and just laze at home.
MIL went out so I started my days of being a SAHM an day earlier, keke…
MIL will be going for her trip tomorrow and we had asked FIL to send her instead cos she wanted to pick her brother too.
Anyway, today is just a family, lazing around day…

Sat = Mum’s place.

As usual, today is mum’s place day, and as usual, FIL sent us there. Keke… This evening we also bring the parents out for a spin in the new car…. And he also kenna summon.. haha… we had been parking without valid carpark coupon for the longest time and today it’s so special that he kenna. Haha..
Left mum’s place around 9 plus.

Happy 16th Anniversary

Today, 11th March is the day that I’ve known him for 16 years. Time really flies so fast… hai…

New Baby…

THE day is here. Today is the day for Hubby to collect his car. He had been waiting for the longest time for this new baby of his.
Around 11am, he went to Turf City to collect his new baby and around 6 plus, he came and fetch me home.. keke
To my surprised, the dealer had given him the wrong registration number. It should be SDG9670C, instead.

Packing day

I’ve declared today as a packing day for me, as I’ll be on leave from Monday onwards so I’ll have to pack all Finance stuff by today.
Not much chatting with the gals as I’m always not at my desk, packing all the things. I was thinking that I might have to stay late to pack but by 5pm I’m already done with my packing.
Oh my gosh, I’m only here for last than 1 year and I already had about 5 boxes of things, and of cos that include all the Finance files. But that do not include the 2005 set of financial statements which they will have to be send to the warehouse directly.

How to keep the fire burning in the relationship?

Someone called in to say, couple time i.e., making time for each other without kid. I feel that it’s very true and important but too bad it will no happen on me, Hubby feels that it’s unfair to MIL to look after his princess while we spend leisure time. How sad right and how I wish we could see eye to eye on this issue, but this is not the case.
Is there any other better suggestion out there???

Insecurity?

Why don’t u trust your husband, is it insecurity or you know that he’ll cheat on you? This is the topic from Class 95 FM. FD had left this question for the listeners to think about. Here’s how I felt.
Too much expectation would make one feels insecure. The expectation now is to be a superwoman, on one hand, she has to be the mummy to both him and the kids and of cos to be a wife to be there whenever he needs her both mentally and physically, she also has to be his support pillar, listener, anger venting machine and lots more. She even has to look good and maintain her figure even though his has grown sideways. From day one, women had been known as the weaker sex no matter how much we try to prove ourselves, which is so sad!
As for the second part of the question, even if the husband were to tell a lie about anything under the sun I would say that he already had broken the trust especially from someone so dear to him. It is always hard for a woman to let go and pretend that nothing had happened.
No matter what kind of cheat, be it mentally or physically, all these can be classified as one being unfaithful to the other. What happened to those marriage vows that were taken, are they all forgotten or just gone with the wind! Well, like I also say, if someone wants to cheat on you, there are always thousands and one reasons for his action. So anyone can suggest any preventive measures to take on this issue??

Car Plate Number...SGD9670G…

I just received a call from Hubby that at last, we have a number to our new car. This number was long overdue. The dealer said that we should be able to have it by the end of Feb before LTA system was shut down for upgrading, but it was not the case. I think he must have not submitted that on time before the shutting down and when the system is up & running LTA had changed most of the forms which Hubby had signed long ago. So that day, we went down to sign on the new forms again before he can do the submission to LTA again.
After all these, today we managed to get our number plate… SGD9670G… long overdue… Wish us luck!!! But the dealer did mention that the car will only be ready by the end of the week. Hopefully he can get his car quickly, I noticed that his neck had grown longer these few weeks. Keke…

Blue & Busy Monday

More busy then any other month, did not do much except for cutting invoices for the month and prepare those invoices to be accrued for the Feb 2006 too.
Did not chat much with the gals, I guess we are all pretty tied up with work. Jan had taken the day off the rest & also to have a day to herself, well she deserved the break. She had been running & rushing around when the Rays started their full day child care. Hope you are feeling better & more refreshed tomorrow, dear…. Keke
Hubby has begun his block leave this week and Monday & Tuesday of the following week. Next week, MIL will be traveling to 海南岛 for her 7 days trip. Luckily Hubby is still on leave on Monday to send her to the airport as her flight is at 0835 and would need to be at the airport pretty early in the morning. I should be giving it a miss as Sherry should be still asleep.
At the end of the day, did not manage to meet Kat to go back tog as she tompang her colleague’s car to JE. In fact at JE, we took the same train but different cabin, so we still meet at YT. Haha…
Went back home, quickly shower and have my dinner den start to spend some quality time with Sherry before chasing her to go to bed cos I’m already very tired.

Short But Fruitful Shopping Trip @ Tangs

Hubby had agreed to bring us to Tangs today so after Sherry’s nap, we all went to get ready for our short shopping trip. We left home around 4pm but we are not worried about Sherry’s dinner as she can take rice if we did not have time to cook her porridge.
When we arrived, it was not so crowded at the baby’s section, after grabbing what I wanted; we went to the toys sections. It was in the plan to get something for Sherry as I noticed that she is lack of toys of her age. I had eyed on an alphabet keyboard, something that she would find it useful till the age of 5, but Hubby did not think otherwise, he thinks that it too ‘deep’ for her so had decided not to get that. Then I saw something that I think she will love it. It’s a Barney singing bus, immediately, she loves it so I cannot resist but to get that for her. So after all these, we went to pay and found that there’s a 20% storewide for most of the items we bought except of those already on offer.
Here’s the list of what we had bought :-

1) 3 packs of NUK teats – L hole
2) 1 pack of NUK pacifier
3) 1 pack of twin packs Hand & Mouth wipes from Pigeon
4) 1 pack of 30 travel sized Wet Tissues from Tollijoy
5) 1 pack of Wet Tissues from Tollijoy – bottled form
6) 1 cup cover for her Maga cup
7) 1 cup from Pigeon for 9 mths n above
8) 1 Barney bus with 4 songs

For all the above, we spend less than $80 in all, what a steal and the best thing is that I did not have to pay anything, $60 by voucher and the $20 Hubby paid for it.
We went to the men’s department as Hubby wanted to get a set of calf links for his new shirts. And he paid $71 after 10% discount. After all these, we went back home and fed Sherry with rice and some vegetable soup and she loves it.
Since she only had a short nap in the afternoon, quickly settled her for bed around 9pm and we all had an early night as we all reports to La La land by 10pm.

Mum’s place

We had not gone back last week as Sherry was still not feeling well since she has recovered we are back to the routine.
We all woke up pretty late and we had to begin the day later than usual. So when FIL woke up, Sherry had not even taken her lunch as I’m still cooking. She only finished her lunch 1pm and by then FIL had already went down to wait for us.
Sherry fell asleep on the way there and was cranky when we reached there as I think she did not have enough sleep. Quickly settle her into the sarong and in no time, she is happy again. But she did not fall sleep again until Sister went to rock her and then she had a 2 hours nap. It was already 630pm when she woke up but I was having my nap. My little girl did not wake me up until she was half way thru her porridge, den she went to call ‘ma-ma’. I still refused to wake up even though she kept calling me, out of no choice, woke up and found Hubby is already there.
After her porridge and a short rest, it’s time for her bath. It’s so nice to be at mum’s place, everything will be taken care off without me have to worry a single bit. After dinner, we just sit around and chat a little while Daddy brings his grand-daughter down for a little walk.
It was already 9 plus when we left but she did not sleep and was still very awake when we reached home. But mummy is already very tired, so quickly chase her to bed.

Hai… Worst month ever!!

This Feb closing is such a torture for me! Since we are still having problem with the TA system, there is no choice but to generate invoices by using the most conventional way, by job sheets!!! Goodness, this will be the most tedious way for everyone involved. But in order for us to do the billing on time, this seems to be the best resort.
I’ll have to try my best to finish all the invoicing by Friday or latest Monday so that Calvin would be able to book them into the system in time for the closing. Just wish that everyone will be co-operative to send me their job sheets in order, easy for me to process the invoices in time.Since I’ve got work till my eyes, there is not much time left for me to chat with the gals. Really missing u all so much but keep away will be the best option to concentrate on my tons of work.
By the way, my FC will be going on leave, actually from today onwards and I will not see him till the 20th March 2006 in the new office. In fact he’ll be back on the 13th March but by then it’s my turn to be on leave. So during his absence there are lots of things for me to follow up. Hopefully, during this period of time, that particular person will not make things difficult for me!
