Conversations of Chloe.

2010-03-30T02:11:00.000-07:00

I think this will be something new and fresh. I will update any interesting conversations between anyone with Chloe in this particular post. So in all, this post will be like a storybook of Jokes of Chloe made.

Chloe: I want milk!
Daddy: U want Barney make for you?
Chloe: (Paused for a few secs) Barney got no hand.
Daddy: Who say Barney got no hand?
Chloe: Barney got no FINGERS!
Mummy: Wow so smart! Haha..

Daddy want to play Angry Birds game on the iPhone while Chloe is playing her kiddy game.
Daddy: Mei mei, can I play Angry Birds?
Chloe: Ok, wait ah.
Chloe went to open the Angry Birds game, and holding on to the phone and..
Chloe: U think this one is angry birds?
Mummy laughed out loud, while Daddy is "fuming" with her cheekiness.
Daddy refused to answer and Chloe asked again.
Mummy: Daddy I think u better answer Yes.
Daddy: Yes Chloe.
Chloe: Ok, give u. (with a very SATISFYING FACE)

Mummy: Chloe, faster sleep. Tomorrow Monday, Mummy need to go work.
Chloe: Why?
Mummy: If not, where got money buy you toys?
Chloe: Then Chloe go work, give you money. Can?
Mummy felt so touched. Haha.

At night before sleeping, we will usually talk a little and ask her questions.
Daddy: Mummy, you going to sleep soon?
Chloe: Mummy, you going to sleep soon?
Mummy: Think so.
Chloe: Think so.
Daddy: I think I got a parrot beside me.
Chloe: I think I got a pig beside me.

Mummy turned over: Oh, she pretending to massage and sayang you is it..
Daddy: Chloe, you go do on Mummy.
Chloe came over to Mummy.
Mummy facing the wall: Ooi, so ticklish. Don't want.
Chloe: Giggle. And lifted up Mummy's shirt again and sayang.
Mummy: Ooi! Chloe! Mummy don't want already.

Daddy and Mummy burst out laughing.

Went scouting for a house, and we came across a masionette we like. Even Chloe. The very next day..
Chloe: Remember the house got stairs? I like.
Daddy: Do you like the house?
Chloe: Do you like the stairs??
Mummy and Daddy burst out laughing.. LOL.

Nai nai went outside to pot plants. Gate closed but not locked. Chloe went to take a bunch of keys, pretend to open the gate. The dog keep barking, looks like it wants to go out as well.
Dog: Woof!
Chloe: Wait.
Dog: Woof!
Chloe: Wait. Wait.
Dog: Woof! (very impatient already)
Chloe: WAIT!! (She is still meddling the keys at the gate, pretending)
Dog: WOOF! WOOF!!
Chloe: Can you wait pleaseeee!
At last the gate dunno why opened. She went out but kept the gate close a little.
Dog: Woof!
Chloe: Wait ah!
Chloe open the gate. Dog ran out.
Chloe came inside: Mummy, Nellie went into people's house.
Mummy: Then why you never run after her and catch her?
Chloe: (Give me the "WHY MUST I" look and kept quiet.)
Mummy: (zzz...)

Daddy: Chloe, daddy fat?
Chloe: Nod head.
Daddy: Mummy fat?
Chloe: Nod head.
Daddy: Chloe fat?!
Chloe: NO!!
Haha..

Chloe and Daddy playing puzzle. Chloe don't want to answer Daddy's question to which piece of puzzle next and keep purposedly pointing to the wrong puzzle.
Daddy: Chloe, which puzzle is below the girl?
Chloe: This one.
Daddy: Wrong, which puzzle is below the girl?
Chloe: This one.
Daddy: Wrong, I ask you again, which puzzle is below the girl?
Chloe: This one. Daddy: Ok we keep. Don't play already. Daddy want to go sleep. Very late already.
Daddy pretend to take off specs and sleep.
Chloe saw and no choice, keep the puzzle one by one.Sadly.
Daddy felt guilty.
Daddy: Chloe, are you angry?
Chloe kept quiet. Continue to keep her puzzle.
Daddy: Chloe, are you angry?
Chloe kept quiet. Continue to keep her puzzle.
Daddy: You angry hur?
Chloe kept quiet. Continue to keep her puzzle.
Daddy: Are you angry?
Chloe: No.
Daddy: Are you happy?Chloe: (Sad tone) Happy.
Daddy: How come you still sound so sad.
Daddy and Mummy laughed! Haha.

Chloe went on the train with Nai Nai. She sat down, immediately she took off her shoes and..
Chloe: AIYO! How come my feet so dirty!! Nai Nai faster give me wet tissue!
Opposite sat 2 Malay girls, kept on laughing. Nai Nai felt so embarrassed.
Next, Chloe took out Nai Nai's medicated oil and rub her stomach. Zzz..
More people sitting opposite laugh at her actions.
Lucky I wasn't there else I don't hide where. Chloe the superb auntie! Haha.

Mummy reached home after work.
Mummy: Chloe, have you eaten your dinner?
Chloe: Yes. (Nod head)
Mummy: You sure?
Chloe: (Nod head)
Mummy: Ok, I go ask Jie Jie. U better don't bluff me..
Mummy to Binti: Chloe eat already?
Binti: No lar, haven't.
Chloe: I haven't eat dinner!
Mummy: (Zzzz..)

Chloe wants to buy a Minnie Mouse soft toy.
Mummy: Do you have money to pay?
Chloe: Yes! (Stretched out her hand from her pocket and show me her imaginary money)
Mummy: (roll eyes) Ok. Later you give it to the auntie ok.
Reached the counter.
Po po: Where your money?
Chloe: (Again, take out her imaginary money from her pocket and put on the table)
Mummy: Ok going to be our turn already. So Chloe where the money?
Po Po: (pointed to the table) She put here already.
Mummy: OH MY GOD. Like that also can.

Chloe ran to Nai Nai room.
Chloe: Yes Mom.
Nai Nai: Huh?
Chloe: Yes Mom.
Nai Nai: (laugh out loud, realising she is imitating Binti the maid.)

It's been ages..

2010-03-18T00:31:00.000-07:00

It's really been ages since I last updated the blog. I will continue to keep it alive!!

Let's talk about the little Chloe.. I guess she is not going to be termed as Little anymore, as there will be a new addition to our family by Oct this year.. Yes, I am expecting my second one, girl or boy? Not so sure.. and really unsure which I would prefer though I know Mr would definitely prefer a boy to make it a perfect pair. I hope it won't be disappointing what if the outcome is not what he wanted. Will I be sad too? Anyway after all, it's our own blood and flesh. Hope he/she will just be as cute as Chloe but a little less noti. It would be GREAT! Haha.

Chloe, she is now, erm.. 27 months old already. On and off she did go to school, but it was like so temporary, I always stop her classes like after a month trial.. I guess she must be the kid that goes to so many kinds of school and cannot stay long. But for sure, I really afraid of putting her in full day childcare anymore, just because of that very first time she got HFMD made me very heart pain. And after all, there is someone who can take care of her at home so why the need to go CHILDCARE. When I attended with her, it just make me felt like the kids are "dumped" there because parents need to go work, like so pitiful. So I imagine I "dump" Chloe there, I just felt like crying. So this choice is always a NO NO in future. Though yes, people tell me they can learn to be independant there, and alot of other things. But I don't seem so when I was there.. But anyways.. later on she went on a playgroup.. she attended on and off for about a month with my mum in law, there she quite like it, except for the fact she cannot stay there alone, she need my mum in law to accompany. A scared child. Haha. But though she attended the lesson on and off, very soon, I can say days she already master everything what the teacher teach especially the songs they sang.. new ones, as most of it she already learnt at home. Therefore, I stopped the classes as the teacher repeats what she does everyday.. for 3 years some said.
My next plan for her was to attend PAP playgroup at 30months which then they accept, I will try to accept PAP though wasn't what I wanted in the first place. I just want her to learn to go to school alone, and is just downstairs, easier for the NEW MAID to bring her down. And PAP is more academic and toys they played are more meaningful.. After which, next year Jan 2011, she will transfer to Jurong Calvary Kindergarten to continue her REAL studies there.. Nursery and so-on. I painstakingly, thick-skinned to ask for a place in that school which was said to be very good. Hope she will grow and "prosper" there.

And so, this is my plan for her. Hope it works out. Right now just headache on potty training her. She seemed to be scared of Shh and Poo. Though right now she does make a good step forward, takingoff her pants and sit on the potty. Previously was like wanted her life when we forced her to sit on it.. Way to go, CHLOE!

As well, now she is so hooked on my iPhone. Learning to take pictures, and playing games, watching ipod casts. She does really learn fast and master on her own. Who knows she might be cleverer than me in using it. Right now, she is learning a new song, Somewhere out there. Sounds so cute.. especially on the high notes.. LOL. Still waiting for the chance to record it down.. :)

So much for now.. Back to work.. Will update more in the next issue! Haha.

Photos of Chloe 22nd to 23rd Month

2009-12-09T04:54:00.000-08:00

Hi all, for those who missed Chloe..

Busy busy busy..

2009-11-27T20:48:00.000-08:00

Just couldn't find time to update this blog. So sorrie.. Been busy lately with work, part-times, race, and not to forget Chloe.. haha. Mr has just been back from US, been away for one month, that's why been busy accompanying Chloe so that she won't feel lonely even when Mr is not around. Nonetheless, she doesn't felt any difference, since so many of us are around her everyday, she only started asking and missing her Daddy 2 weeks later, and asked for more video conferencing. Haha. Now is all back to normal after Mr is back, and she was so happy when she saw Daddy at the airport. Family is reunited again..

Also, lately been busying helping my sis in law with her events, same time earning some extra bucks for ourselves.. Keke. Save up for our new house!! Way to go!

Not to forget, last Sat me and my colleague went for the Apple Discovery Race, it was fun but really tiring especially we both didn't exercise for a long time and we got to run. That's why we suffered from severe muscles ache the next day. Haha. Weaklings! But we got into semi-finals and is going to happen on 5 Dec 2009 at Plaza Singapura... followed by finals on 6 Dec.. Come support us if we managed to get into the finals. Haha. :P

Last but not least, Chloe will be turning 2 years old next Sun. Time really flies. Won't be having any major celebration but just small gathering with relatives. Hope she will have a happy time and she even choose her favourite Mickey Mouse cake online. Haha. Yummy.

Will try to post pictures of her soon after her birthday.. :)

October Post!

2009-10-16T02:51:00.000-07:00

Another late post. Find it so hard to keep the blog alive but will still try to.

How time really flies, Little Chloe will be 2 yrs old in about 1month plus time. OMG. But this year, won't hold a party for her, just bring her out to play and dinner. Wait till she's bit older then will hold a party for her and her frens.. A real good themed-party!

Next week Sunday, Mr will be flying off to US for one month for his work, wonder how will me and Little Chloe be? Will I be pulling my hair taking care of her in the middle of the night? Will she unexpectedly be a good girl? Anyways, Nov 20 quickly come. Mr will be back.

Decided to put Chloe into Tumbletots at Jurong East for her Pre-N. Then either to St James Church or Jurong Calvary Church when her Nursery kicks in in 2011. I guess this will be the best planned path for her if everything goes well.

Another hope will be able to get a good chance in the HDB balloting this time. Else maybe we got to wait for the BTO in boon lay for year 2013 if we are patient enough. Haha.

Wish everyone has a nice holiday tomorrow! Even though it is like a normal Sat of the week!.. :)

At last is updated..

2009-09-21T20:16:00.001-07:00

It's REALLY BEEN a long time since I last blogged.

Ever since the demise of my grandmother, I started to get busy until now I felt the need to blog to keep the blog alive.

Recently also have bought an IMAC to do photo editing of Chloe's pictures, but just do not have the time or the chance to press the power button. If I do that, I will have the little devil up on my laps and wanting to press the keyboard, or she will just keep nagging mickey mouse mickey mouse. Lately, whenever she sees any of us using computer, she will do this, especially after last week we got to know she can say the magic words of Mickey Mouse. Miska Muska Mickey Mouse! From then, she kept wanting to see it on the Youtube rather on TV. She will sit infront of the computer, repeating the Mickey Mouse song over and over again. She super like the HOT DOG song where all the characters are dancing and she will try to follow. Over the weekends, we are trying to see if she likes the ELmo Song, apparently a little. Still Mickey Mouse her favourite.

Now that she is 20.5 months old, not sure what is the standard progress of her age group. Only know that she likes to sing, and can sing to the tune of certain children's songs with some words, sometimes fill in the blanks for us when we sing to her. It's really fun listening to her sing. The only thing is I duno if she likes to write/colour. She dun like us to assist her, holding her hand to do the writing or colouring. And after a while, she just dropped it and go to play. OMG. Is this normal?? I see other kids like to write or colour but not her. Other than this, she is ok which I feel for her age.

Currently I am having a big headache on her education, which centre should I choose? She is going to be in Nursery next year. How fast. But me and Mr have not even decide which centre or what kind of program she should be attending. Last wed, brought her to MMI enrichment center at Jurong East for 2 hours playgroup, they make use of the 2 hours to do singing and teaching a little. She seemed ok. But will 2 hours be sufficient enough for her Nursery and Kindergarten in the later stage? As enrichment center only have 2 hours, and not half day. And let's say if I put her to playgroup now, is she going to change school again when comes to Nursery which is Jan next year? Will this be too much of a changing school for her? Argh.. HELP!! I really don't know what to choose or think and Mr let me decide for her. Really big headache. Unless we just drop her off at the PAP downstairs..?? Though some say PAP no good. Sigh.

Back from Taiwan..

2009-07-27T21:30:00.001-07:00

At last, me and Mr came back from Taiwan holiday last weekend. Life without little one is really horrible. Sometimes it's really contradicting, when you are at home, you find little one very noisy and disturbing, just want to have some peace so off we went for a holiday. But when you are abroad, you miss her so much that you want to be home the very second. Argh.. She is constantly on our mind, even more when we saw cute kids running around on the streets. Of cos, without fail, we called her every night. Maybe due to she's too young, she only shouted Papa, Mi Mi, good girl on the phone. Only during the last day, we spoke abit more, maybe she started to miss by then. It's comforting to hear that she looked for me when she woke up in the morning, and her nai nai brushed it off by saying Mi Mi work. Haha. Work 24hours for 7 days. Haha. At Taiwan, we looked high and low for stuffs to buy back for her, no clothes were nice, but only a stitch bag, a big pink pillow, and a throw the rings in the stick toy for her. Hope is enough for her.

We came back on Thursday midnight, we thought she wouldn't come as it was too late and she would be sleeping by then. GOD KNOWS! She appeared. I was waving so hard at the collect luggage area to her, and she looked abit blur, but by seconds, I could her shout AH AH AH! This seemed to be her recent method of calling people, I guess learnt from her cousin, Little Riann. When we came out, she gave a "want to smile, dun wan to smile" kind of look when we want to carry her. Haha so cute. She was of cos happy when she saw us at last.
For the next 3 days, Fri, Sat and Sun, we had fun and made up to her. During these days, me and Mr found her abit of "weird". She looked like she has changed her look after a week we didn't see her, and her behaviour as well, maybe for the better. After all, she is growing up, and starts to understand what we saying. Most of the times, she will accomodates with our request by a word "CAN".

Through this, I told Mr, I will never leave little one behind anymore. Everywhere we go, we will bring her along. Maybe next year we will plan a short trip with little one in mind. :)

The one and only Chloe

2009-07-12T23:05:00.000-07:00

Chloe has recovered from her HFMD. And just went for her very last 2 jabs of her "must take" injection package at Thomson. Before she even started to get jab, she already wanted to cry, when the jab went into her butt, she cried like nobody business. But eventually stop crying when she was offered sweets. Zzz. KIDS.

Stopped Schicida for one week cos of HFMD, she resumed her class on Sat. I was tremendously shocked, when this time, she got full marks for her memory and ESP game, I myself cannot even remember the colours shown during the 10seconds. SUPERB CHLOE! Even teacher also commented she got very good photomemory. But after that, 10mins, she cannot concentrate anymore, cannot sit still, want to walk around, only came back to seat where is music and dance time. Argh...I really dunno how to prolong her attention span. She is the only one in class that cannot sit still. She's only the one who find the lesson "boring" especially flash cards time. Oh my god. Really make me want to vomit blood. But cannot stop laughing when she dance to the music and she looked back at me and smile. Argh.

At night, Simon Uncle came to fetch us to Pak Leong's house. She cried and cried when she see Charmaine and uncle and auntie. But after seeing Char's phone she stop crying and she's fine. cried again when reached my auntie's house. Really cannot understand why she will cry, what is it in her that make her cry. The funny thing is when she was crying, my dad actually ask her to call Gong Gong. And she in the midst of crying called Gong Gong. Everyone laughed. Crying still can call people. Funny girl. But after a while, she is ok, and started to perform her cheeky actions and laugh. The whole night no one is successful to carry her but only play with her. :P

Me and Mr will miss her when we go for our holiday this Fri for a week. Hope she will miss us too.

And yes, pictures I got no time to upload in office, but only can blog. KEKE. Will do so sometimes this week..

Little one got HFMD!!

2009-07-03T04:37:00.000-07:00

So angry at myself. I am now still in office waiting for Logistics people to give me the GO to start the operations run, and at the same time worrying about the little one at home.

Mr just brought Little One to see doctor due to rashes multiplying. And the doctor confirmed she got HFMD when she checked that she got ulcers in her mouth! OUCH! It really pains my heart. During the time when she was seeing doc, I was surfing net for symptoms of HFMD, and I came across pictures of it, and one of them was a tongue full of ulcers, I don't even dare to open up the picture bigger to view. I kept thinking this wont happen to little one. Who knows, Mr told me that doc checked she got alot of ulcers in her mouth that's why she is not drinking and eating. If this goes on, she will become dehydrated, end up have to go to hospital. Even adults us, have one ulcer already pain like dunno what, let alone a kid with so many ulcers in her mouth. Dunno which kid in the school or class got it and spread to her. I really feel like scolding bad words now. At the same angry at myself, have I really made a very bad decision to send her to school at this time and age. And why it happen on her!! I guess I won't put her to half day or full day childcare center anymore, until she grows up older. BUT NOT NOW! I felt so guilty now. Now that she got to be quarantined for 1 week. I really dunno how she is going to take it, now can only hope she wont have those painful blisters and her mouth ulcers quickly go away!! Please god..

End of School..

2009-07-02T21:30:00.000-07:00

No good no good. Chloe is now having fever on her second day of school, which I think is not acceptable. She is too weak. All of us heart-ached seeing her sick, so therefore, me and Mr decided to withdraw from the school. But yet, we still got to pay the 2 weeks trial fees. Anyways, no choice, spend the money is better than getting Chloe to be sick and traumatised.

She is actually faring very well in school, she didn't cry, she didn't fuss, she was not scared of her schoolmates except the Chinese-china teacher. Maybe after all, I was there with her. She ate more than she ate at home. In the beginning, I still worry she don't eat. LOL. Her attention span is still short, she couldn't sit to listen till the end of the whole storybook. Haha. So she will follow her schoolmates walk around the classroom. Faint.

After breakfast, the teachers brought them to the top floor with carpeted floor to run around. When they about to go back down, 2 schoolmates suddenly lie on the floor, don't want to move. The teacher said "Come, let's go!" Chloe saw they are still not moving, so she went to them, said "come come" then even volunteer to hold their hands to get up. Teacher's assistant! Haha. This happens 2 times. She is so Da Jie Da. Haha.

During first day, no one wants to hold her hand, which I dunno why. I told her to go hold hands, she turn around and around, stretching her hand, but no one want to hold, maybe the rest already have partners. Poor girl. Ended up, I hold her hand. Haha. Second day was ok, she found friends to hold hand with.
As usual, when she hears the music playing she will start to shake.

Only yesterday, I decided to let her try out to bathe and sleep there. Bathe was ok, the principal herself bathed her, Chloe was happy. She can't get to sleep though she is tired, no choice, got to carry her to sleep, then put her down on the mattress. Thinking to let her accustom without me, so I went to Jurong Point to have lunch. Who knows, after 45mins, I received a call, saying she woke up, cannot find me, and cried. I hurried back, seeing her sitting on her Chinese teacher's lap, eyes red red swollen, nose also red red. Upon seeing me, she cried again, made me eyes wet as well. Poor girl, she is traumatized. She is fine afterwards, eating her bread toast happily.

Last night, my sister in law asked her if she like school? She didnt answer her. Haha. Before sleep, I asked her if she want to go back to school? She straight answer, Dun wan. Then think a while later, she say want, dun want. She just can't make up her mind. Else, she is just being cheeky with me. Haha.

Anyways, this is good experience for us parents, to see what childcare center life is all about. The thing is I find Chloe not really enjoying herself fully. Hopefully the next school she goes to, she will like it. We will settle this after we come back from holiday.

Photos I will post later.. Stay tuned.

Chloe going to school tomorrow

2009-06-30T01:15:00.000-07:00

Time really flies, and tomorrow will be 1st July 2009, Chloe's 1st day of school at Little Skoolhouse. My mind is in a whirl, thinking what is going to happen tomorrow, how she is going to take it, will she cry, will she be good? Especially now I felt that her social skills seemed to degrade. Hopefully tomorrow when she sees all her friends, she will forget about us and enjoy herself. What's more, we are only leaving her there for half-day, and will be sitting in with her as well. Be good, CHLOE!

On Sunday, we were by the road side waiting for a taxi to bring us to our dad's place. When I mentioned the word "Taxi", Chloe suddenly lifted her hand out of the road to hail a taxi! I was shocked lor! She must have seen us doing it quite often that she picked it up. I tot I seen wrongly, so I asked her, how do you stop a taxi? She did it again, she lifted her hand out and stop there. Haha. So funny.

Now every Sunday, we will bring her for a swim. Hoping her fears for so much "water" will go away, and of cos, I see improvement. Except the only thing is got her to wash her hair, any drip of water touches her head she will shout. Let alone when water goes into her eyes! LOL. Everytime when I bathe her, I have to really put in so much effort to coax her and divert her attention away to other thing and quickly steal a chance to wash her hair. Hehe.

Tomorrow I gonna take pictures of her going to school, except without School Uniform yet, as we haven't got the chance to buy it. Hehe.

Surprise for us!

2009-06-12T00:55:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday night, on our way to IMM to shop for groceries, I just happened to ask the little one, 'WHAT IS YOUR NAME?' Then surprise! She answered me back "Ko-wee". I was super happie, finally on this night, she said her own name! We didn't really practise asking her to say her own name, and she did it on her own. Maybe thanks to everyone who "shouted" her name when she got noti, and she just remembered and learnt it somehow! Haha. So proud of her. At least when she go to school next month, she is able to answer what is her name.

TGIF. And I guess I am ending my class soon, time check, 4pm. Wonder what I should do now while waiting for Mr to off work to meet me up at the PC Show.. Hmm.. This week is a short work week for me. Happie!

Enjoy your weekends frenz.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Mr! Happy 18mths, girl.

2009-06-08T23:40:00.001-07:00

Today is Mr and I's 2nd anniversary, how time flies, though is only a short 2 yrs but somehow I felt we are already old husband old wife in chinese saying. Haha. Not sure where Mr will be bringing me for dinner, right now sitting in the library, supposedly to study but ended up, blogging and uploading photos. No mood to study. But should be heading back home soon, to get ready to go to Vivo to get Mr his prezzie from Esprit.

Chloe has also turned 18mths last Sat which coincides with my company's Family Day 2009. It was a really hot day, expectedly, shortly, Chloe burst out in sweat, as well as my niece, Riann. Chloe was happily playing with the crayons for the colouring contest as well as the beads for the coaster art contest. Of cos, the contests have ended, otherwise, she where got place to sit and play with it.. I was so busy running around making as one of the organizers, I got no time for my family felt so bad.. Terry, one of my RC mate, asked me, Do you know your daughter ate crayons that day?! Then I wasn't surprise at all, Haha, cos she already eating colour pencils at home, so what's crayons to her! Haha. Of cos, at this age, I really hope she stopped putting things in her mouth, but irregardless of how many times we said her, she still wont budge. Sometimes, really got no idea how to control her and teach her.

Oh yes, she did continue with her Schicida classes, as Mr do not want to stop her classes despite having the full time childcare soon, which means from Mon - Sat she will have classes, even busier than us, adults. LOLX. Hope her time is really meaningful. Awaiting for 1st July to come, wondering how will she react when she goes to school...

Her achievements: able to call and name everyone. Able to count 1-6. Able to sit at one corner to read books on her own. Able to call her name!

Her favourite words: DUN WAN! DUN WAN!

Her stubborness: Keep putting stuffs inside her mouth. Always cry when want to sleep. Always saying DUN WAN!

Hurray!! Chloe got a place in Little Skoolhouse!

2009-05-26T01:20:00.000-07:00

Latest updates!! Little Skoolhouse called me and they are willing to offer me a place for Chloe and she will be starting school officially on 1st July 2009! OH MY GOD!! Cannot describe my feelings now, felt so happy and sad at the same time. Sad that little one going to spend her day there, sort of like going to be her second home. Will I cry on her first day? I suddenly felt unbearable to leave her there, though I know she will enjoy there, but can she sleep and nap there? So many questions in my mind. Though I felt that I am promoted cos my girl has grown up and able to go to school already!!! I guess the blog will be interesting after July reporting status of her school life.. :)

2009-05-25T23:41:00.000-07:00

Seemed like quite a long time ever since I last blogged about me and Chloe. Last Sat, Mr was in camp for his reservist, and I had to bring little one to class. Dunno why I really feared bringing her to class, especially to Schicida, maybe cos I felt inferior as other kids can sit down and listen to the teacher and play those games. But not to little one, she will walk around the class, fiddling with other kids' stuffs on the floor, sitting on the window latch instead of the chair. I really don't know what to do, and I kept remembering Mr's words, though she is walking around but she is learning too! But it doesn't seem to me the case, how can she learn when she is not even looking at the teacher. I think even at certain point the teacher too sort of like gave up on her, especially when is her turn to play the ESP games, little one just took a little bit more time to pick and choose or sometimes she will just point at all the answers, the teacher just simply "Oh ok, you choose this lion". And she moved on to the next child. At this point, I felt sad for Chloe being treated like this, of cos she doesn't know what is going on, and she just went to walk again. She simply just like walking! Of cos, me here, kept hoping time faster pass, and get out of the classroom with her. Dunno how much times I have to force carry her back to her own chair. :(

But I felt GOOD when I brought her to source for her full day childcare as she is turning 18months next month. On Sat, I brought her to the Little Skoolhouse at Safra Jurong which was yet to open. But classes for toddlers already filled up fast! So I was there for the second time to actually make payment but hopefully able to enjoy $100 off for 12months which was firstly offered to us a week ago, but due to seats all filled up, she was only able to give us 6 months off, which I was not happy about it. But the principal was nice, she helped me to check if she still can slot in little one, not sure if she was acting to be nice to shoove me off first or she is really nice to help me. But anyways, the main thing, little one and I was happy there, all the teachers there remember her as the cute little one, with pretty eyes, and all like her alot, thanks to her PR skills, I was "frens" with her class teacher, which makes life much easier in future when she attends the class. Must learn to PR also all the way until she enters a good Primary School! Haha.. Kiasu MUM! Today called up the school and the recept told me there might be a space left but got to discuss with the principal if can accept me. GOSH! Really make me nervous! But at the same time, thinking of the whole scenario, principal said all 36 places taken up, recept said now got 23 kids, duno principal want to accept one more to make it 24 or not.. Zzz.. Make me confused who is the true one. Hope I can have good news by today.

Last night, Mr didn't come back home due to staying in camp for night duty. When I came back from class around 10.30pm, little one has not slept. After I bathed, I coaxed her to sleep and even talk to her.. telling her to sleep thru the night, mummy is tired, daddy not coming, so be good and nice to mummy ok.. she didn't reply me though but she has been a good girl and slept thru the night. But only morning, she didn't want me to go to work.. and end up, her nai nai got to lie to her I go toilet and then out of the house door I went. Dunno why I felt bad, cos I feel we shouldn't lie to children especially at her age. Sorry Chloe.

Thank God this Sat Mr can bring Chloe to class, but maybe we won't be continuing the classes anymore due to not enough funds for her to attend this class, since she is also need to go to the fullday school, plus having to pay the maid and the hefty PUB bills.. maybe after all, we don't need the maid anymore since little one is going full day childcare RIGHT!! The most me and Mr tired abit, have to wash own clothes, then we still can hire partime cleaner to do the housechores, can save us hundreds! Wont it be great! Else we totally have no savings to do house renovation or even planning a second one.. DAMN CHAM! :(

After all, I really felt bad, not able to give her the best of the best.. Nothing much me and Mr can do.. hopefully we can get our own home soon.. Kinda excited about the tot of able to design my own home and us living in it, will it be a new lease of life??

To Chloe..

2009-05-04T17:58:00.001-07:00

To Chloe, Mummy would like to say sorry to you. Mummy is bad and do not know how to be a good mummy to you. Whenever you cried with a reason we do not know, especially in the middle of the night, and non-stop, and flare up your temper, Mummy could only think you are very noti and unreasonable, bad thoughts came to my mind, I just wanna run away from all your cries. I want back my freedom, I do not want to be a mummy anymore. I cannot take it anymore, I just felt like I am going into a depression. I am so worried that it will become worst. But no one understand me, not even Mr. He only said everytime I flare up my temper, which I admit I am wrong, just that I cannot control myself. After each such ordeal, I will cry in the dark, blaming myself why I am a bad mummy, why I can't this, why I can't that. I just felt I got no more moral support, consolation, encouragement from Mr, and I just felt alone and being blamed. Where is the love between us, or there is not? But just responsibility between us to bring up Chloe. It just feels terrible and unbearable for me. I do not know how much longer can I hold on, but I know I need.

Chloe, Mummy is sorry and please forgive Mummy if it happens again, Mummy promise I will try to contain my temper.

Smart Chloe!

What a tiring week. Ah ber said I am slow in uploading photos again. But no choice, really got no time to shoot and upload due to night classes. And now the thought of having night classes every night for the whole of next month really puts me off! DUH! Hope to enjoy my long weekend this week before nightmare starts!

Last weekend as usual, BUSY! Especially now every Sat we got to bring the little one to class, so practically our Sat is burnt. After Mr attended the Parents Guidance Session on Schicida, he decided to let the little one run around the classroom on Sat. He said even though she is running around, she is still listening and learning. I do not know how true but time will tell. So, on Sat, she was let free! Mr told me she and one boy went to one corner at the window ledge to sit down.. so cute. And when it was doing exercise time, they will go back to their to do their work. So good girl and boy. We even bought the study materials for her, and cost us $300 plus!! Kids stuff aren't cheap! Mr told me he wanted her to be on this program for 3 years, hopefully she will be a genius by then! I support this decision!

We went to view houses on Sun, those near to Jurong Point. There was one house damn scary! It was leased out to the Bangladesh workers, and the smell, WOOT! Cockroaches running around, men lying around on the floor to sleep! Kaoz! I think we barely stayed 1 min and we left! LOL. After viewing so many, I guess Mr still like the Jurong East house at 22nd floor with a fantastic view. I agree.

Tell u guys a funny discover about the little one! Yesterday, Mr and small one came to Jurong East to meet me. While we were waiting for bus, Mr has this Ezlink card, with his and Andy Lau picture on it. He asked little one, "Which one is daddy?" She pointed correctly. Second question: "WHO IS MORE HANDSOME!?" She pointed ANDY LAU!! MY GOD!! She knows how to see handsome guys!!! OMG!! Isn't she clever! and HONEST! Haha. Third question: "Who do you like?" She pointed Daddy. SO SWEET! Really make me laugh especially the second question. Think one day I should try myself with another actress. Hahaa.. i wonder who she will point. haha.

Hopefully I will post some photos by this weekend! Haha. Now slogging in office, O.T!

Chloe made progress!!

2009-04-13T19:46:00.000-07:00

Time really flies, and with a blink I am back to work and holiday had ended.

Yesterday I had my first MCSE class, suddenly with acute pain in stomachache which leads to diarhoea. I bear for half an hour before I dare to step out of the class to go toilet, during break time, I sat on the toilet bowl while the others went for a drink. How sad. Thought of going home, but I am afraid to miss the class, ended up I stayed back until 10.30pm while Mr came to fetch me home with Bao Ji Wan. So nice. But I am still in pain this morning, no choice, got to go class tonight as well. REN REN REN!

Long weekends was nice, but busy as well. Friday supposingly to go to Marina Barrage with Chery and family and Ber as well, timing set was 11.30am, Haha but we were late for about 30mins due to late back home from Qing Ming. When we reached there, was pretty sunny and hot, and Ber told us that it was going to storm if we don't get here now over sms! Obviously he was lying! Haha.. But also sorry to all of them that they had to wait for us. But lucky we got the triumph card with us, CHLOE! Haha.

Chloe had fun running around the viewing gallery, and kept wanting to hold Charmaine's hands to walk around instead of my uncle's. LOL. My uncle was so sad. They love Chloe so much. We left the gallery about 45mins later, Chloe spoted one little girl who was taller than her, older than her, yet she wanted to make frens with her and shake her hands. But the little girl seemed to be frightened by Chloe. Haha. Next action made us all laugh and figuring what she was trying to do, she stood infront of the girl, and blocked her way, don't let her walk away. Ended up, the girl was so scared, she ran back to her dad, leaving Chloe fell on the floor due to "support" ran away. LOL. The bullier.

Cheryl and family left earlier as Char has tuition, so sad, thought we could have lunch together. We brought Chloe to the water playground to play. Beginning, she was so scared, or maybe she act only, later she had fun playing, luckily she was not like those kids, who will scream and shout and parents have to drag them out from the water to get changed. LOL. Followed by a nice Sakae Sushi lunch at Suntec. We had fun chatting, and exploring my D90 with Ber. What a fruitful day, but till now, I still had no time to do post processing on those photos taken.

Sat was her class again, this time, Mr went in with her while I enjoyed my book reading at Mac. When it was time, I waited outside the class for them, and I can hear chloe's shouts and screams! Haha.. When the door opened, she was the first to come out and grab a sticker from teacher. Haha. During the walk to fetch the vehicle, Mr told me that Chloe performed very well on the IQ questions, choosing the right colours to the questions, and also mentioned that she do not dance this time, all the goods and bads, while Chloe kept very still to listen to our conversation Haha. When I asked her she good girl, she immediately say she GOOD. When I asked her she got noti in class, she kept quiet. Haha. Hopefully this sat she will made more progress, this time she got 4 stars compare to the last time 3 stars! Great job! Sun, I had a great few hours nap together with Chloe. Really was too tired, didn't slept well on Sat night, Chloe kept waking up making noise, and each time I got to put her pacifier in her mouth, think got about 10 times. Zzz..

Now awaiting for weekends to come again, I gonna miss my D90 till Thurs, until my class ends. :(

Photos will be up next blog.

16 months Chloe.

2009-04-07T03:39:00.000-07:00

Will future weekends gonna be this busy like the last? Is this the beginning of a real hectic weekends for parents with kids?!

I am now still at work, waiting to run some server stuffs at 7.15pm, supposed to be on MC today since yesterday afternoon, but I came back to work in the afternoon since I got things to run and not to "degrade" my boss' impression of me, MC Queen. Haha, recently whenever I went to the doc, the doc will sure give me 2 days MC, am I really that weak?! I guess I just not enough rest due to hectic weekends I always have. Sometimes I missed the slacky weekends I used to have. :(

Now thinking back of our weekends with Chloe, OH YES! Was her first lesson at Schicida! We were early, so we thought to grab a fast food lunch, who knows ended up we were late. When Chloe and I entered the classroom, they were writing their child's name on the observation book which records their progress on each lesson. We quickly took a seat, not long, the teacher started with a Japanese Hello song to warm up the kids. Of cos, Chloe was stunned. But very fast, she was engaged in the first activity, of "blowing a candle" action. She was the first one to do it, PROUD OF HER. But next activity, was so embarrassed! The kids each had a set of "tools", they were supposed to "velcro-stick" the pictures that matches the piece of background, any exercise to do with such, she does not want to do. When the teacher was collecting back the materials, Chloe resisted! And even PINCHED the teacher!! OMG! She did it again for the second round of activity! I was super embarrassed! There were 5 kids, I only noticed the only girl who can sit throughout the lesson and do her work, she was GREAT! I seldom see such kids. Chloe not even interested in watching the program played on the TV, even if, was only a few seconds and she shouted wanting to get out of the classroom. During the whole lesson, I kept looking at the watch, thinking when will the lesson ends, I just too, wanna get out of there. Haha. But lucky towards the end, the teacher played a few songs, which held back Chloe and there she was holding 2 chairs, standing in the middle, DANCING, SWAYING left, right! At least something interests her!! And YES, only when songs played, she put effort in them. The last song she even stood on the table and dance, follow suit were the other parents too, but none of the kids can do what Chloe did! THUMBS UP! At least something made me proud and heave a sigh of relief before the lesson ended! It makes me think maybe I should just sign her up for music class instead of these enrichment classes. AND, AND, the next lesson this Sat, I have requested Mr to go in with the little devil. Haha, I cannot take it anymore, imagine I came out of the classroom SWEATING!! I was expecting Mr to come out WET this Sat since he is more prone to sweating than me! Haha.. Stay tuned for more Little Devil at Class episodes. LOL.

Sun was a super busy and tired day for me, only me. I got to wake up at 6.30am as my parents came to fetch me at 7am for qing ming. Went 3 places, Sin Ming, Whampoa, and Bishan, before I got home at 1.30pm to wash up to go to Allan's girl's one month at Yishun. By the time we reached there, is a long journey can! Was 3.15pm. Before we really settled down and ate, Mr reminded me that it was going to be 4pm soon, and we got to leave for our next appointment with agent to view house. Long journey back again! And we were late for 45mins can! I think he also sian of us, made him wait so long, always late, earn our money not easy ok! Haha. We saw one house that we both quite like, but just hard to make our decision whether to buy it, on 20th floor, superb view, can oversee PSA and the sea, so meaning able to see fireworks. Priced at 445k. Now u know why it is a hard decision. But kinda excited as our dream of having our own home is coming soon..

My day ended at 9pm, K.O. Together with Chloe.

Looking forward to this Friday! Holiday! Has planned a trip down to Marina Barrage with family and relatives and also, Chloe's Godpa, Ber! My first time bringing out my D90!! Hurray! Must take this chance to bother and keep asking questions to Ber! Hahaha.. Dun say me a nuisance hor!!

2009-03-30T00:43:00.000-07:00

Another busy weekends.

At least Sat I got to sleep abit more, while Binte look after Chloe. Usually I will wake up and play with her but this time round, I am dead beat tired. Just need a little rest more. Fri night we all had fun playing with D90 and taking pictures. The shots was not really well-taken, still abit blurry, but we all had laughters doing the shots. Mr do have a better talent than me, honestly, and he was so proud of himself to take pretty nice composition of the shot.

Sat evening after Mr came back from RT, we wanted to down to OG people's park to collect pots before heading down to Novotel for Marvin and Stella's wedding. But ended up, we got "cheated" by the GPS and went one big round, we headed straight to the hotel and kena 2 ERPs. Zzz.. we missed one turn and we ended up infront of another ERP gantry, the time was 7:58PM. We actually waited outside of it for 2 mins for it to turn off at 8pm! Haha so fun! And we see other cars moving off the same time with us Haha. Cheapos!

It was nice seeing Marvin and Stella again, this time at their wedding to see their dream came true, and Stella can start to make her own baby after liking Chloe ever since she was born. Haha. And she told me too, she is a loyal fan of Chloe's blog! Haha.. and asked me to update more.. LOL. I was abit regret not bringing Chloe along to the wedding, as I did not know they kept a seat for her, but maybe we shouldn't bring her along, in case she made noise, cannot sit still, and after all, we did enjoyed the dinner!! After dinner, I went to "my first ever stepped into Mustafa"! Mr suggested, hoping I can buy my UV filter and camera bag at a cheaper price, ended up, they didn't sell both of the items there. But anyways, ah neh smell not so strong in some areas, while some
areas I walked did made me feel like vomiting. :( Maybe I will not go there anymore unless necessary. Haha. Left the place about 12midnight. Sleepy.

Sun morning was the "big day" which I waited for 2 months. We are going for our family shoot at NByN! Before a few days, I kept reminding the small one we are going to take pictures and she must smile and shake the cameraman's hands, and she replied me "OK". But she did not keep her promise! Mummy was so sad! In the beginning when the makeup artist was helping me to makeup, Chloe don't allow her to, and hit her! Each time the makeup artist touch my face, she will hit her. Haha. She even commented Chloe so clever. Zzz! She is just being cheeky can!

When it was our turn, cameraman wanted Chloe to take individual photo first, so me, Mr, my bro and gf tried so hard to make her smile, but she didn't! She just concentrated to play the toys available to her! OMG! We were so "hot" from making her smile. In the end, she took the most number of photos, and out if it, only minimal amount she gently smile and one of it she made her favourite cheeky pig face! Really salute to her! I hope the cameraman did not get scared by her! But overall, all the photos turn out NICE!

We headed to Sim Lim after collecting our pots from OG. At last I bought my Hoya UV filter and blower at Alan photo @ Sim Lim. In the shop, behind me was a lady. I told Chloe to shake hands and say hello. You know what she did?! She stretched out her hand, and the lady of cos, went to shake her head, and next, Chloe went to pinch the lady's fingers!! She did for a second time of her little trick! The third time, I told her cannot do this, the lady wanted to hi-five, Chloe scratched the lady's palm! What a little monster! But the lady and her hubby I suppose tot it is funny, but it is not to me lor.. What happen if she go to school! I cannot imagine.. CRY. And yes, I bought my Lowepro Flipside 200 bag from Orient Photo @ Sim Lim. Hehe. Now I am almost complete
except for a dry box and cleaning cloth.

My arms are aching today from yesterday's carrying the little monster around Sim Lim while Mr searched for his cable needed by his boss. I am looking forward to this Sat, Chloe's new enrichment class is going to start, stay tuned to see if she will play traunt in class! And Sunday to Allan's girl's one month! Hmm.. I wonder to bring my camera ornot.. Haha..

PS. I almost threw away my wedding ring. This morning, I brought down a bag which I wanted to give away to Salvation Army and dumped it beside a rubbish bin. Then I walked away, during these 10 steps I walked, the tot of my wedding ring came to my mind, as previously I kept thinking where is my wedding ring but I didn't give it a find. I walked back to the rubbish bin and searched the bag again! I found my ring! I was damn lucky to walk back, Thanks to God who gave me the idea to walk back, else byebye to my expensive ring and a scolding from Mr. :)

Shots taken by D90.

Shots taken by NByN Studio.

After a hectic 2 weeks..

2009-03-26T21:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday night I was chided by Ber why I didn't update my blog for 2 weeks! LOL! He indeed my loyal fan.. I was really super busy with work recently that I don't even have the luxury time to blog in office. But for his sake, I will do it now! :P

Ok here it goes.. I GOT MY D90 kit!! Me and Mr met up with Ber at Funan to get my D90 and thanks to Ber for QC-ing it. Sometimes I felt fortunate that I have a bunch of DSLR players to guide me along, but sometimes I felt it is not so good at times as everyone has different views, and being a amateur, it is really frustrated and confusing as who should I really take advise from, I thought of making my own decision, but afraid that I will regret. Argh. Just like for example getting one UV filter, seriously do not know what brand is good, and what is going to be good for me, a cheap one just to protect the lens, or a good one to last me longer and maybe produce a better "don't affect the orginal picture quality" than the cheap filter. It's really giving me the headache. But anyways, I will give it a serious tot on this.

After I bought the DSLR, on the way home, I was thinking I actually bought a 1.7k camera, and will I ever regret it ornot? I hope I better not and really make full use of it. My heart though feel a little pinch at recession times like this, but still I tot of it as an investment to take better quality pics. But I do like the feeling of taking the shots!! LOL. Even at night lying on the bed before I went to sleep, I was still thinking, it is so unbelievable that I bought it, was it a moment of impulse!? I got to better make use of it and learn as much so hopefully one day I can be a freelance photographer! LOL! Still a long way to go man!

I guess I got to trouble DSLR players quite often from now, hope they will pardon me! Haha..

Last last Thurs, Chloe was sick, down with fever and running nose. Mr took leave to take care of her, while I took leave the next day to accompany her at home. Of cos, she is super cranky when she is sick as usual, and always demand a "YES" to whatever she wants no matter what. We always got no choice to give in to her. :(
Ended up, I got sick myself last mon, and MC for 2 days. Poor me. Last week was really a terrible week for me, on Sat was my first company event I organised at Zouk, who knows, when I woke up on Sat morning, I suffered a serious neck stiff that I couldn't even move, and got up from bed, eventually I cried cos Mr still joked about my neck and asked me to lie there till I can move! Zzz.. Haha he got scared when he saw me cried so hard, so brought me to the sinseh, lucky he didn't exert too much force, or what I imagined it will be, TWISTING YOUR HEAD LEFT RIGHT. Haha. Of cos, I still went ahead to Zouk with my stiff neck, envying those dancing.. :( And people kept telling me to dance, ANGRY. I even had difficulties moving through the crowd at the dance floor, let alone go down to dance. Still kudos to the RC team that this event was successful despite all the hiccups organizing this event.

Today is Friday, YES! I am looking forward to Marvin and Stella's wedding tomorrow. I bet they must be feeling anxious and excited for their day tomorrow. Congrats to them and Stella's dream of making a baby is coming true very soon! Haha..

And of cos, Sunday to Noti by Nature for our family shoot. I really hope it will turn out fun and nice photos taken!

Take care all! I will try to post pictures taken by my D90 soon, and let me if there is a difference! HAHA. Ciaoz.

2009-03-10T02:54:00.000-07:00

Last weekend Chloe has turned 15 months. On Sat was due for her chickenpox and MMR injections. This time round for the first time, she cried. But for a while only after pacified her with biscuits. Poor Chloe to bear with 2 injections.

After that, we went to TTSH to visit my grandma who is waiting for her chemo there. Hope the doctor can find out why she cannot walk anymore, and her chemo will cure off her cancer cells.
Then we rushed to Schicida Method to pay the first term school fees for Chloe. She will be having her first enrichment lessons on 4th April 2009! I really wonder what will happen.. will she like it? or will she be a tyrant in class??

Followed by shopping for our daily needs at Swanston before heading home. Such a "enriched" Sat. Mr even had fun using the GPS on the Nokia E71 which I bought for him. Hee..
Went back home, me and Chloe completely K.O. Even when Mr went for his RT, I also dunno. We woke up at 5pm to find him missing. Hehe.. We went out for dinner when Mr returned back and went over to Dad in law's house for a while before heading back home.

This was such a Sat which I always look forward to everytime.

Sunday was another "running here and there" day except this time round with the housing agent. He brought us to view 3 flats in Jurong East area. Of cos, we hope to view more so that we know what we really want and like. The 3 flats are so-so.. not to the extent of having "WOW! I LIKE THIS HOUSE!" kind of feeling yet.
The rest of the Sun was being a couch potato catching my TVB show.

Look forward to this weekend, the IT SHOW! I still thinking of my D90 to buy or not to buy.... hmm..

Recap.. '15months' Chloe knows how to greet most people, I can say she can speak more words than the expected which I read from the magazine. Her temper is not very good, if she wants something she will want it! Sometimes she like to imitate people. She eats very little still, that's y Doctor said her growth is slow. OMG. Can someone tell me how to make her eat more!! Grr.. the headaches of parents are slowly to immerse..

Regrets!

2009-03-02T22:18:00.000-08:00

I have to say sorry to the little one! I seriously do not know what happen that I actually fogot to snap photos for Chloe, and thus breaking the trend of taking photos for her every week! OMG. Let me try to recall why, Sat morning went to Wheelock Place for facial "quietly" so that she would sleep longer and indeed she slept until 9.45pm. Then I came back she was asleep, when she woke up and had her lunch, my dad has reached our place to pick us up to go to my grandma house to visit her, we stayed there till 9pm then my Ah Ku sent us back. Both of us were so tired, and little one went to sleep after washup. And me and Mr stayed up til 1am to enjoy our TBV series.

Sun morning was really taken aback, all of us woke up at 11.15am! Latest in the history and it felt so nice to have a long sleep ever since dunno when I last woke up so late. Little one was the last to wake up, I saw Mr standing up and giving hand sign of the time and I was really shocked, and when I see little one, she was sleeping like a star fish. Haha.

After we had lunch, rest a little while, we dropped by IMM at 3pm to walk walk. Our usual hunt when we got nothing to do at home. Haha. Met up with Dad in law there and after a while, we decided to drop by Jurong Point to buy her potty. So, at last we got her a cute potty but dunno will she ever use it, it's really a headache to toilet train her. The moment we reached home, I kept telling her when she want to poo, go find Penguin and hold her hand. Her potty got this penguin picture and with a handle. Since whenever she shit, she will want to hold everyone's hand. So I told her the handle is the "hand". She started to play with the potty like a toy, holding it wherever she went, and even stood inside the "hole". Mummy is fainting.

The whole day has passed without the remembrance to take photos!

Friday night, me and Mr went to Natas fair, hoping to catch some good deals, which sadly none. And I almost wanted to buy my D90, but Mr asked me to wait for IT show which is next week. So excited. These 2 weeks really full of so much regrets! No 1. We should book our taiwan air tickets when there is this promo of $0 return fare. No 2. I should book Bali air tickets which is only $50 each person in Sept! Super regretful. I really hope better offer or the same offer would come back again for us to have our belated honeymoon in June. And hope to bring Little one for a plane ride to enjoy a little family holiday time.

We went to the zooo...

2009-02-25T01:10:00.000-08:00

Time really flies and is already mid-week, which by right, I should be updating my blog every mon. Work seemed to be piling up and becoming stressful each day. Just finished my performance review yesterday with my boss, and luckily I fare "average" given I am "raw" to this new line I am handling currently.

Past Sat, brought Chloe to her first trip to the zoo. I was quite excited in the beginning, and hoping to take alot of pictures for Chloe. But by the time we reached zoo at about 10.30am, I was quite tired, and Chloe as well, as we woke up too early to prepare for the trip at about 8.30am. Nonetheless, she seemed fascinated and stunned when she saw the animals. Haha. Sadly, not even an hour, she fell down while walking on the rough pavement and bleed on her knee. I didn't notice that anyone saw it, but the zoo's personnel saw it and gave us a hand and helped Chloe to clean her wound with antiseptic wipe. So nice of her and great service!

We managed to catch a proper animal show at the Rainforest amphitheatre. Why I said proper, cos this is the only show we arrived early and sat at the front row while waiting for it to start. I think is a great show and Chloe sat through the whole show without fidgeting. Haha, she is really stunned when she saw monkeys walking on the "line" above her, and other small animals, peacocks. LOL. She didn't laugh or smile, but she did wave to the animals and asked them to come back when they disappear behind the scene.

Before we headed back to the exit, we dropped by the water play. Mr afraid of her wound so did not let her go down to play, but just carried her and let her touch the water. But she is happy still. Haha.

Headed back at around 5pm, all of us was really tired from all the walking. But still, Chloe has all the energy even after we went to my grandma's house for dinner. She was still walking here and there.. talking, shouting.. Sometimes really envy her, where she got all the energy!

Praying for my ah ma that she could be well soon, and be happy no matter what comes. She has contracted cancer at her pancreas and will be undergoing a major operation. Hope all will go well for her though we all know she is very very very worried, and even my mum has no mood to work everyday.

Anyways, weekends is coming, look forward to Natas fair to go book a Taiwan trip for our belated honeymoon. Hee.

See! She can't sit still!

First stop. Phototaking with parrots.

See her injury!!!

First Vdae with Chloe!

On vdae morning, I made "clever" plans, to arrive earlier at Suntec as to the proposed timing 12.15pm to meet Ber. I forbade Chloe to have her mid morning nap, so she will be tired and fell asleep on the stroller when we were window-shopping at Suntec. Who knows, I stupidly stepped into Toys' R Us and she brightened up and struggled to get off the stroller to play with the toys.. Around 12pm, we left Toys' R Us and within a few steps, Chloe lied on Mr's shoulders to a sleeping position. When we about to reach River Palace Restaurant for our yummy ala-carte buffet, she was almost closing her eyes. "YES!" I was thinking to myself. Who knows, once we entered the restaurant, on hearing Ber's voice and us talking, she immediately sprang up with her bright eyes opened! THAT'S IT! CRY!

We did really catch up on how's everyone in Visa doing, really missed the whole lot of them, but now, gone has gone, remained are the only few loyal ones. Haha. Main reason meeting up with Ber is to play with his DSLR, I am really tempted to buy one D90, but I also can't bear to part off with my $1800. How nice if money can drop from the sky, then I can buy it and take nice pictures of Chloe! LOL. Maybe I will wait for IT fair to come and see what good offer there is.

While we were eating as usual, the small one will just want to get off her baby chair and "socialise". She will walk around the table to gain attention, but she already got attention when we were guided to our table and the waitresses will go "WOW! Her eyes so beautiful!" But that's not enough for the little one, she will extend her "social pass" to other tables and saying HI! Sometimes I really cannot stand her, must she be so "attention seeker"?? haha. Lucky she is cute else I think no one will bother with her. Haha. She even got one lollipop from one of the captains there. I already told one of them she cannot eat sweet but maybe another gave it to her.
Before we left, one waitress told me she would like to take picture for her, but I really dunno how to ans her, cos the cameraman has already made his exit and she has no camera, so I just smile and went off. Haha.

In all, from the restaurant to Millenia Walk, Ber took for us about 200 pictures, he even joked lucky this is digital, if it is film, he will start charging me.. Haha. I hope he has a fun day with us, despite being our cameraman and us being the models! LOL.

Enjoy the pictures, and note the difference between point-and-shoot and DSLR!

My prezzies!

She likes pink!

Before going out to Suntec.

See the mini one!

K.O. Going home time!

Chloe @ 14 months

2009-02-09T01:39:00.000-08:00

Chloe turned 14 months on last Friday. 4 more months and she will be ready to go to playgroup. Is really a tough decision to be made which school should we enrol her to, whether accessible or not, half day or full day, budget, blah blah blah. I guess this is the pain process for parents, all the way up to their secondary school. I really hope we can make a decision soon..

Last sat we went to Caterpillar's Cove at Ngee Ann Poly and we brought that little girl along. The place is nice, give people a comfortable feeling, and a nice place to be in for a school. The acting principal firstly intro to us the school, the ciriculum, then suddenly after the principal finished one sentence, chloe went "HMM" meaning YES. She acted as if she really was listening and made her acknowledgement 2 times. Made us all laughed. Faint.

Next we went to their learning corner, where there are alot of mirrors even the floor, she suggested us to put her down to see her reaction. Expectedly, she wasn't afraid at all, and she was smiling and enjoying her own LOOK! The principal was shocked she was enjoying herself, given other kids, they might be crying. Haha, I told her that she is very vain, as she kissed herself in the mirror at home as well! LOL.

Next moment, when we put her down, she was already walking all over the place, but despite following the principal as she was told to. I already can imagine her going to school and enjoying herself. She even interacted with the teachers there while we spoke to the principal about the cost. Sadly, the cost is too high for us, if we do have extras, we would definitely send her here. The cost is about $950 per month which is really too high, though, yes you are paying for the quality and all the degree holders teachers, while mostly other centres are only having diplomas. Nevertheless, is a good experience for Chloe and us. When we about to go, she even bid us goodbye while she was carried by the teacher. URRGHHH.. I hope she will always be so well-liked by all the teachers she come across next time.

Due to my mum had to go take care of my ah ma at her home, so last weekend, we didn't go back to my mum's. We were so bored at home, dunno what to do, and suddenly Mr suggest we go out after dinner to buy Chloe a new toy(after seeing Mr's cousin's daughter got those walking toys, we tot maybe can get her one as well), then I asked where, expected him to say IMM or Jurong Point. But instead he told me Taka. I was happie but then again, I was lazy. So ended up, we went Jurong Point, but is a fruitless trip, cos we couldn't find any of those toys. And Chloe went around pinching other kids, when we put her down to roam. Zzzz.. I really cannot imagine whether or not, she will do that when she go to school, but I think 80% she will do that. DUNNO WHY. Especially when she want to snatch a particular toy. I guess kids are kids.

Sun evening went to my ah ma's house for steamboat dinner together with my ah kim's sisters. Before reaching the place, I got to tell Chloe not to cry, and smile and do the gong xi gong xi action. And she replied me "HAO" = OK in chinese. Surprisingly, she really didn't cry, which she always do when she go my ah ma's house. Maybe she likes the attention of everyone calling her name, she was happy and very soon, she was enjoying herself and walking here and there and blabbering her own language which made everyone laugh. Like indian language. Haha. I think she will be a perfect baby if she didn't know how to throw temper, don't pinch people, don't be so overly active. Haha.

Looking forward towards this weekend to have an vday outing lunch with Ber, Mr and Chloe. I wonder what funny thing will spring up.

Haha, surprisingly, she didn't pose cheeky faces this time round.

2009-02-02T00:22:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone has a good and enjoyable holidays!

Today just returned back to work after a week of break from work, but I just felt it is not enough! Argh.. holidays are never enough especially when most of your rest time are chasing after a little monster, making sure she is not taking any dangerous stuffs on her hands, screaming at her not to do this and that.. until me and Mr are so tired.. She is just too active for us "old" people. Haha.

I really missed the holidays when I tot back. On eve after the reunion dinner with dad and sis in laws, Mr wanted to go shopping to buy another top but his sis said no shopping centre will open and made fun say "GO MUSTAFA lor!" Haha. But ended up, since was 8pm plus, we went to IMM to try our luck. Expected, most shops are close and it was so quiet and empty which made Chloe a happy girl, so she could run all over the place and I even asked her to chase me. We all had a happy time and Mr managed to buy his top from Hang Ten when the gate was about to close! Haha.

Went back and first time Mr watched the countdown show on Channel 8 with me! Hee all bcos he didn't bring his laptop over. We had a fun time watching as well, especially when we trying to catch the dog's overall this year when that little monster shitted, and when we managed to watch it, she went to turn it off when she was playing with the controller! Zzz..

Yes! it is Chu Yi, and I always missed past years when I am single, to go movie watching with my relatives and cousins.. Sobsob.. But is ok, I am going to KL for visit and shop this year. But this year we really departed quite late about 9pm and we reached KL about 2am. I am really so tired that I left Mr to make Chloe sleep which was about 4am before she slept.

All of us slacked on Chu Er in his uncle's big new house. Until I am so bored, I kept hinting Mr that I want to go out shopping and have lunch outside. Though is just a short while, his cousin and her bf brought us to MidValley for sushi lunch and just an hour walk! zzz.. But I guess is good enough.

Suppose to meet Ber on Chu San but due to no car and dare not drive out his uncle's new camry, we decided not to meet him, so sad. But still, we still did go out with the cousins in his uncle's car and sis' car to Times Square. Bought a dress and a top. So excited, the feeling was back! Felt like was Chu er. But too bad, just this night and we will be back in SG the next day. Of cos, next day we too did a little shopping nearby ioi plaza and Jusco. Bought many clothes for Chloe again. Just dunno why each visit to Msia we just can't control and ended up buy many clothes for Chloe. Maybe is just cheaper than SG.

Home sweet home on Friday midnight. We all slept till 10am then realise is so late, cos my appointment with the schools to visit is at 10am. No choice, we got to miss the "lessons watching" but just to tour around the school. We saw one which we both quite like, price still affordable, but just ought to work out the transportation. We went to the kinderland at SP and when Mr entered, there is this little girl ran away crying. Haha. Then the teacher said she is scared of MALE STRANGERS haha. Reminds us of Chloe, when she was playing at the door, and someone going to walk past or postman she will run and run to hide Haha. So funny.
Whole of Sat was visiting till at night then back to my mum's place. And we got Chloe to pick out the toto numbers again for the 10 million draw. Haha. Made me vomit blood, I asked her to pick and give me, but she just so cheeky dun want to give it to me and gave it to my mum. zzz..

Sun afternoon went to hospital to visit my grandma who has tumours in her pancreas. Sianz. First time I had to go to hospital to say happy new year to her. I hated it! I really hope she can faster discharge and go home. I just dun like hospital and the idea of old people staying in hospital! Sob sob, but lucky she still can laugh and smile though she really thinned down due to lost of appetite. This year she is 75 but I am sure she can live through 80! And I will arrange a big 80 da sou bash for her!

Now at work hoping weekends to come soon, so I can bring little monster for visiting and collect more ang baos! Hahaha. Yesterday night we counted her ang baos too! Not too bad, close to $500 excluding RM190.

Hope you guys will continue to have fun for the rest of the CNY days!

2009-01-18T19:54:00.001-08:00

Left a week more to CNY!! And I had a whole week off from work next week.. SO EXCITED! Will be heading to KL after dinner on CHY YI and be backed on CHU SI. And we will go school hunting on CHU WU followed by a buffet dinner to celebrate Mr's advance birthday which falls on 4th Feb. I wondered if we will have some time to squeeze in between for a KTV Session. Haha.

I had a good time shopping on Sat with Mr, things are looking better. I was still expecting the shopping trip gonna turn out to be nasty again, but luckily everything A OK! Thank you bb. Though we had some conflicts on Sat morning whether to straight go downtown after I seen doc, or come back home first after doc. My original tot was to go straight to town after seen doc cos by the time might be 10am, and by the time reached town will be just nice for breakfast and then go shop, and be back home early to play with mei. But he said I think otherwise. So sad. But he calculated we will finish seeing the doc at 9am. And he is right! Sick lor. LOL. We had mac breakfast, and went home to change and went out shopping!!

First stop to city link to buy his shoes at Pedro. Happily chose 2 pairs and he bought it! Swift and chop! Haha. Along the way back from city link to suntec where we parked, he even tell me to go inside the shop to try out the clothes I said nice. Hehe.. So happy. This is the shopping style I always look forward to. Keke. After we went to Bugis but not much time left, quickly went to Gio to buy his jeans and top. Grabbed lunch at V8 my treat! Realise the time is already 3pm, Mr told and asked me if I am worried Chloe with maid alone ma, then I said of cos, since my mum in law went out at 2pm. Mr even actioned out what the maid will show the face if Chloe irritate her, the tot of it really scare me. I even gave up shopping for more and straight went to OG to buy the pot his dad needs for cooking soup for reunion dinner. SUCH A BIG POT! LOL. Needless to say, bought something for Chloe as well, a pair of squeeky sandals, which made noise when she walked.

Reached home at last, Chloe put on her new sandals, and she was SHOCKED how come got sound. Beginning she was afraid, but after I asked her EH HOW COME GOT SOUND?! She was puzzled but after, she kept walking and walking and even stamping her feet on the spot to make the noise. Haha. She doesn't even want to take off. So is quite irritating noise the shoes made after a while. LOL.

Sat was a really happy and my LUCKY day for me!!!

Sun morning treated my family to Tung Lok dim sum, not so nice like before I feel. But anyways, still a good breakfast for Chloe, she seemed to enjoy it and want to eat more! She, like me, like to have good food always! Hehe. Like mother like daughter. Looking forward to CNY now! Hopefully this Fri company will give half day! LOL.

Advance, Wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year! GONG XI FA DA CAI!

I seriously dunno what she meant..

Sly little fox.

Sexy ma??

Weekends with satisfaction

2009-01-11T21:35:00.001-08:00

I felt so satisfied over the past weekends. Sat met my mum with Chloe at Jurong Point to buy foldable mattress. This is considered the first time I took Chloe to take a public bus alone, and so sad, no one gave up the seat for us, only after when I moved in a little bit more then one auntie gave up her seat. But luckily is just a short journey. Then took a train to Jurong Point. I really have to think of new ideas and ways to entertain during such public transport or any car journey, if not, she just couldn't sit still and will fidget about. Though she likes to play with my wallet but she will start throwing all the cards out and on to the floor. Anyone has good ideas? LOL.

But we didn't buy the mattress as we not able to carry it together with Chloe. Haha. So have to wait for Dad to come to buy it for us. Hee. So we went back home, and made Chloe sleep, while I cleared my whole cupboard off the clothes that I cannot wear, which practically the whole cupboard! I am so fat liao!!Sob Sob, but it means I can buy more clothes! Haha. So I cleared all out and distribute to Malaysian cousins, neighbours, my cousins, my mum's colleagues. And the older ones to Salvation Army. Haha. If I can bring all to flea market like what Mat said, maybe it could fetch some price too! But anyways.. LOL. I wanted to clear my bags as well, but I am so tired to do so. Maybe this weekends.

After all the tiring work, at night went AMK for dinner to visit and buy Bak Kwa for my grandma for CNY. Before we go up, I kept telling Chloe to smile ok, cannot cry. Then I told her how you smile, and she gave me a FORCED SMILE! So irritating! But it made me and my mum laugh like mad! HAHA. But as usual, she cried when she saw my Grandma, but she only played with my smaller cousin. Weirdo! But after my Grandma offer some titbits, she not scared of her already. Zzz. Got food everything also dun care. Then my Ah Gu and Ah Kim called back saying they are coming back, then my cousin told us, OH no Chloe going to cry again soon. Haha. Really! She cried when seeing them. LOL. But again, after being offered new toys, she played with them. Wow lao, is like got new things from strangers she will go with them. Cry. Just like earlier on, at Jurong Point, she anyhow walked, and I told her BYEBYE, and I went to hide behind the wall, and she just don't care, and she just continue to walk and go play with others! Faint. Really made me vomit blood. My dad in law yesterday said next time she sure got alot of friends. LOL. Went home 10pm and I am so dead beat tired until I got no energy to play wii online with Mat.

Sun morning 9.15am went to Orchard to meet Twin for SHOPPING! Before I came out, Chloe was at the door, making noise and stomping her feet! How come children know how to stomp her feet when they are angry! Wonder where they learnt from or is it natural? We shopped from Far East to PS. But mainly we bought our clothes from Far East, and I haven't been feeling so shiok ever since from shopping and carrying so many shopping bags until I having arm muscle aches now!! LOL. And even bought a pair of shoes for Chloe from Robinsons, and Mr's birthday present too! And reason to go PS is to buy curtains from Spotlight. A darker and thicker one to prevent Chloe from waking up too early in the morning at 7am when she saw the daylight brightening the room. Around 3plus we moved to Bugis Street for more shopping and wanted to have snacks at the HK Cafe on second floor. But after eating, when I got up the chair, my whole back really going to break, practically no mood to shop already and also seeing the huge crowd! Just walked one round and went back to West Coast to unite with Mr and Chloe. Followed by dinner at IMM and back home! What a tired day but yet with satisfaction! LOL. Even Mr knew I had a happie time shopping!

Looking forward to more shopping with Mat this Thurs and weekend shopping with Mr. Woohoo!! Then I can start next week to prepare who wear what on which day for Mr and Chloe! Haha. I am always the costume planner! LOL.

Happy CNY shopping everyone! And here's Chloe with her cheongsam. Haha. But will be changing to a nicer pattern..

Messy hair!

Can u see my 4 tooth?

I am the cheongsam girl.

Pose like stomach pain.

Gong xi gong xi.

I am going to school!

My new pooh bag!

Forever this smile!

A simple affair..

2009-01-04T22:55:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year 2009! Had a really simple long long holidays cum weekends again last week.

New year's eve went to Aloha Changi as Mr's colleagues booked a chalet to celebrate New Year. We did a potluck and we brought mee hoon for them. Keke. Simplest dish. Chloe had much funs with the uncles and aunties there too, Keke. All liked her and entertained her while me and Mr had time to watch Little Nonya on TV haha. Thanks ah! Went home around 1030pm as we decided not to stay over cos of the little one. Celebrated our New Year by playing Wii at home. Haha.

New Year Day nothing special. We sneaked off to Jurong Point to shop a little while Chloe was sleeping! Keke. And she only just woke up when we returned home after 3 hours. Haha. Evening, me and Mat registered each other on Wii and played 2 matches of Mario Kart before dinner. Haha.

We had a much better weekends compared to the previous week. But this time I was on leave on Friday but not Mr. Therefore, me had quality time with the little Chloe. Friday morning brought her to the library to flip books, Haha, her favourite thing to do at home when she sits at her reading corner and she will be flipping the books though she don't really like us reading to her. She preferred SELF LEARNING. LOL. But out of expectation that she will be amazed by WHAO SO MANY BOOKS, instead she was going round trying to shake other children's hands and make friends. But other children was shocked by her friendliness, they don't dare to shake her hands. Haha. But still, she followed them around instead of sitting down and flipping books. Ended up, I have to choose books for her to borrow home. Zzz. Told Mr about this, and he said she will enjoy the times in Childcare when we put her one when she reaches 18months. I guess so too. Only afraid that her teacher will call us and tell us she is over friendliness! Haha.

After tabao-ing lunchie back, I went for my spa at Citispa@Jurong, very unhappy experience until I don't even gave them a chance to promote their package and I just walked out of the store after signing off. Then I went to pick up Mat at my house bus stop as she said she wanted to visit Chloe and play with her. Again, out of my expectation, Chloe didn't even need any "warm-up" which usually she does when she met with strangers. Unless, Chloe really understood me, as I kept telling her "Chloe, one Jie Jie will come to play with you in the afternoon, ok". She even nodded her head when I told her this. Maybe that's why, she's already expecting someone new to come. Within seconds, Chloe is already playing with her, ransacking her bag to find handphones, being carried around, and "throwing" her up and down. She had so much fun. Lucky no nightmare when she slept else.... Keke. Mat left near to 6pm and again left me and Chloe walking back from bus stop to home. On our way back, she was walking and "shouting" then suddenly she just turned back and shouted "Hiiiii" and even waved, then so by coincidence, there was a little girl behind and she went so excited and ran back to her mum and telling her in Chinese "She can say Hi and waved to me leh!" The little girl was so happy Haha. But I think Chloe was puzzled after, as maybe she has no intention to say Hi to anybody at all! Haha.

On Sat morning went for a preview talk at some enrichment centre for Chloe, then went home picked her up to go to see Doc as her backside hole got tears which made her cry whenever she shitted. :( Then we went to Mr's fren's son's one month celebration then headed home. Again, she played with the Jies there.. Headed home, waited until 6pm then went Jurong Point to meet my parents for dinner, before this, Mr suggested we put Chloe with them and we go for a movie marathon! And yes, we did, bought tickets for 2 shows, Bedtime Stories and Yes Man. Both are very nice movies, I like them both. I don't feel a tinge of tiredness which I usually do after coming out of one movie. Hehe. Wonder when will be the next time we do this again.

Next morning, when we woke up, my mum told us something very funny. The night before which we put Chloe with them, she cried and cried. Binte carried her around from living room to kitchen then Chloe kept pointing at the toilet. And then to the toothbrush! She wanted to brush teeth before she wanted to sleep!Haha. Really set us all laughing. But is good that I cultivate this habit into her. Haha.

After lunch, home sweet home. Suffering from bad flu, slept together with Chloe for our afternoon naps.. Hehe.

I kept telling my mum dun cut off the lamb's head!But she still did.

I like this comical shot of her. Haha.

@ the chalet.

I like this girly of her.

@ the library, choosing a book after much persuasion.

Woo! So heavy!

Chloe with Mat. She so shy hide behind the bed.

Worst and most tiring weekends I ever had!

2008-12-29T23:05:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone has enjoyed their Xmas holidays. For me, somehow, I just felt this is the worst and most tiring long holidays/weekends I ever had. Though I should be enjoying myself and happy since I had a long long weekends from Xmas eve till Sunday with Mr and Chloe and of cos the maid. JUST 4 of us, as mum and sis in law went to Penang for holidays and my dad in law seemed to be MIA for days till now.. :(

Things weren't going smoothly for me ever since the day Xmas stepped in. Xmas eve was ok, a normal celebration at my aunt's place and we had a fun and nice bingo game and I won $2. (Better than nothing! And I always lose in the past!). On Xmas day, I was so happy that we were going to Robinson for shopping as there was sale. And importantly we are bringing the small Chloe as well. But when we reached there, it was not opened yet, and Chloe was sleeping in the pram, and we just walked around first, who knows, when we turned back, there was already a crowd outside the gate. The next moment in my thought was "DIE!Sure there will be unhappiness upon seeing the crowd. And I was right, I always knew after married, Mr don't like to go crowded places with me and shop anymore." Thus, I got this jittery feeling, no matter how I lighten his mood, no use. So ended up, I went to shop for my stuffs alone as the crowd is just too heavy for the pram go through. But anyways, things got better after I bought my stuffs and I just tried to lighten his mood again, and was fine. He even propose to walk around Heeren after our lunch at Mac. Guys also have mood swings Haha. But I think things will eventually changed after married, things guys will do will not do it after they got married. I guess is just SOPs. Luckily, I still have my Twin to go shopping whenever I felt like it. Then we even went IMM to buy a standing fan and then headed home. Evening went to my aunt's place again for a light dinner. Then went to stay over at my mum's place as Fri me and Mr was on leave, as he had a dental appointment, and we thought might be a good idea to go visit some pre schools for Chloe.

We had conflicts again when I didn't clearly find out where the place was at Jurong East, ok is my fault to assume, but couldn't there be a better attitude to sort and talk things out rather than really pushing all the blame to me? Nevertheless, we found the place. Then next we moved on to West Coast MMI, again after the whole entire episode, conflicts again, due to the cost is rather high, so I suggested we could just take on the enrichment courses which is only $150 per month though the classes are not on daily basis but is fine since she is only 18months old. Till she reached Nursery then convert her to full day. I find it a good suggestion, IS ONLY A SUGGESTION, not a DECISION. I dunno why or what I did to make it like I am making a decision which Mr misunderstood and thus conflicts arise. Sometimes, I really felt that humans really hard to communicate especially Mars and Venus. That's why the book came about and I effortly went to buy this book to read so as to improve the communication between us, but I think only doing it on my part won't solve the entire problem cos' IT TAKES 2 HANDS TO CLAP. But I hope both of us can finish up the book and improve for the sake of Chloe and our future. :)

Then on Sat, Mr cleared the store as it was damn messy. The day was just fine. Until it reached evening time, when me and Mr decided to go Jurong Point for shopping, and I was super happy lor.. but after got Chloe to changed, she and her cheeky actions while walking, caused her to fall and knock on the side of the metal edges of the bed frame, which caused a small scratch, and bruised and swollen. She cried a while before I took her attention to something else. So heartpain to see her hurt. Again, somehow I got pinpointed as my fault since I am so-called near her and didn't catch her. How to react instantly when I knew something shocking is going to happen and I just stood stunned there. That's how car accidents happened and when the victim unable to run away from it. Isn't so?? But anyways, we changed our minds just to go IMM for dinner and then back home. Met my aunts and uncle, and my uncle kept saying he too heart pain when see Chloe like that. So ended up, we went to their house to sit a while as my relatives all there to play MJ and my parents too, while Mr went to cut his hair. All of them were shocked when they saw Chloe's face and first question was "AIYO WHY LIKE THAT! GOT SEE DOC OR NOT?!". The more they say, the more heart pain I felt and I even almost teared. :( But she still happily playing with them.

Sun morning again went to IMM for Mac breakfast as Mr wanted to buy a tap to replace the spoilt one. So whole day was at home, playing Wii. And yes, almost everyday playing Wii ever since Mr mod it and burnt games for me to play. So until evening, my parents came to visit me, and out of the blue, Mr just showed me black-faced due to my mum keep nagging to my dad about the food Chloe ate and didnt have proper nutrition as a result, and said I didn't teach my maid well and never instructed her more. Haiz. I also felt irritated but what to do, their first grandchild, so therefore more protection and also cos' Chloe is thin, need to grow more. So ended up, it became my fault literally. Haiz. I really dunno how to make both worlds happy! Am I sure a failure?? or just that we can't see things eye to eye and not able to understand each other deep enough? So many questions went through my mind.. but no one can understand me.. No matter how unhappy at times with his parents, I won't show it or even complained to Mr, cos' I won't want him to be sandwiched in between, and I just have to tell myself, that's what parents are. Eventually, I believed we as parents will ended up like them, or maybe even worst, when Chloe grew up and have her own kids and who knows we will naggy as well. It just goes in a circle. I think.

Mon morning all was well again, just like a nitemare has passed. Mr took MC to bring Chloe to Thomson for X-ray. Lucky all was good, no fracture, no blood clot. Just that bruise will be gone only after 2 weeks which of cos, be in time for CNY. :) We even took off the bed frame to prevent anymore mishaps. :) And now, can only hope tomorrow Mr's company's chalet gathering will be a success and no CONFLICTS.

Hereby, wish everyone a Happy new year and stay happy everyday in the coming year! And I wish we will be tightly bonded even more!

Nonetheles, some photos!

2008-12-22T18:48:00.000-08:00

I am in a holiday mood till I almost forgot to blog for the past weekends. Keke. Indeed super seriously in holiday mood! Even day dreaming and staring into the space during work time. But still have to complete what I need to do before Wed comes. XMAS EVE!! Which is tomorrow! I really hope after the Xmas party tomorrow, we are release to go home. Maybe to go Jurong Point for a last minute shopping, been wanting to seriously window shopping there but failed each time, either Chloe was too tired and slept else she is busy "running" around and have to follow suit. :( So hope tomorrow I have the chance to shop a little before heading home to get prepared for the Xmas eve party at my auntie house. I love to see the kids' happy faces when they receive the presents from the adults. :O) This is the first Xmas Chloe will get presents from my relatives!! Hahaha.. Suddenly think is a good idea to be born in Dec. You get to have 2 presents in one month! So nice.. But of cos when you reached a certain age, NO MORE XMAS gifts!

But anyways, me and my family wish everyone a Merry Xmas and A happy new year! Remember to take loads of nice pictures k!

Here's Chloe with her Wand!

And she will cast a spell to wish everyone happy in the coming new year 2009!

How much she has changed over the 1 year...

Andy Go! Andy GO! ANDY GO GO!

2008-12-14T05:33:00.000-08:00

At last, last Sat came. Andy Lau Wonderful World Concert Tour 2008. So excited!! Overall the concert was GREAT! COOL! FUNNY! Most importantly, he sang for 3 hours! WORTH IT! He is the first singer who sang for 3 hours in a concert which I ever attended. $198 is worth it.. The only regret I had was not buying the tickets at the point of sale and seated in front. Me and Mr was pondering to go or not to go, when I decided to buy it to surprise him, it was too late, though I paid the high price, but is still seated 22 rows from the stage (can called it the second sector as there is a passageway in between us and the front sector - the first 20 rows). Sad. If he really come again, I sure will chiong for the tickets! But nevertheless, I still can see abit of him, not clearly though.

When the concert started, the front sector stood up, ended up we all second sector cannot see the stage. So we have to stand as well. Then the security guard came and told the row infront of us to sit down. But the lady told him the front sector don't sit how we see! U go ask them to sit down la! He got no choice but to walk away. Then when Andy sang finish his first song, he encouraged everybody to stand up throughout the whole concert and sing with him. Then the security guard walked past the lady and told her in chinese of cos, "U see, he call everyone to stand up. I not Andy Lau so cannot ask them to sit down." Haha. Damn FUNNY!

Andy got fans from Beijing as well. Seated in front all her fans, with those card boards and wrote in Chinese, "Leng Zai" spoken in Cantonese which means HANDSOME GUY. Then the fans keep shouting Leng Zai!! Andy was not a bit shy at all, and even commented he knows he is Leng Zai. Last time Leng Zai, now still a Leng Zai. He super humorous! Throughout the concert, he will always compliment himself whenever he heard his fans call him Leng Zai. Really Love him so muchie!!! Hope he can come again next year.

Not to forget, the different computerized backdrops for each of his songs are super nice! There is one scene when he was lifted up with "cloths" tied to his arms and legs, and he was swang and being hit on the BIG WHITE CLOTH behind which acted like a wall and with the sound effect of "HIT" when he was being swing and hit hard on the "wall" by the "ENEMIES". Damn good and real effect it got there! Another scene was he even fly in one statue of Quan Yin which is super big and tall! Everyone started to snap and snap photos. Haha. At the point when we all tot the concert ended, he came out with 2 cute mascots! Angry my camera no battery at this point! Damn sian. But they are real cute and even talked and joked. Hehe. At the very last song he sang "Zhen Yong Yuan", he was standing on a rising platform, then suddenly the digital effect of BIG WINGS flying. He was like a bird flying! WOW SUI la!

I really enjoyed his concert alot! And everyone knows how to sing his songs even the cantonese ones. But to admit some I really never hear before. Keke.

Concert ended by large amounts of confetti dropping from the "sky" and I took one home hehe, cos at the back of the gold stripe, was a list of words, "ANDY LAU WONDERFUL WORLD CONCERT TOUR". And now the stripe is being pinned on my desk partition. Haha.

Ended at 1130pm and though happy, but I was tired and slept in the car. And u know, I even dreamt of Andy Lau at night. Faint. Haha. And also wished I am one of his female dancers Haha, cos can hug him. Wahaha, think I am crazy already.

But anyways, when we reached home, we were expecting the small one to sleep, who knows when we opened the gate, she was AWAKE and sitting on the bed! And shrieked when she saw us! And so, we played with her a while before putting her to bed again.

Now looking forward to XMAS! :)

Chloe's 1st Birthday!

2008-12-08T23:21:00.000-08:00

Happy 1st Birthday Chloe!

It falls on last Sat 6 Dec 2008. Group of me and my volunteers gathered at Central Green Condo at 3.30pm to do up the club house. I was late. Keke. I had to go pump helium to the balloons and so suay! Chloe's favourite character Pooh Bear had hole and leaked helium, ended up we had to plastered it hoping it stayed throughout the night and it did, heng! No one notice!Then we had to wait for Mr's fren to drop by IMM to pass him the ang bao cos he got no time to attend the party. So sweet of him!

Mind was really empty what to do and how to give out the job duties. Lucky got my organiser there to help dedicate jobs out. We had much fun after doing up the place, with the silly me kept on wanting to take pictures with all of them with the 4 winnie the pooh characters big mylars. Haha. They also cannot tahan me! Haha. Luckily we managed to finish up by 5.30pm, buffet started in time, cake arrived on time without any hiccups, saying my toys were lost! Made me so worried! Everything in place. Nice!

My parents first to arrive, and my mum also ask my dad to help her take pic of the pooh bear wall. Haha. Relatives started to arrive and too, my little cousin, took pic with the mylars.
At last the party sort of started around 6.30pm when guests almost arrive. But sadly to say, some really "put plane" the very last min. Food left quite alot, ended up we have to find containers, plastic bags, etc to tabao the food home. Haha.

LUckily the star of the day, surprised us when I knew she slept from 1plus pm to 5pm. Maybe she knew this is her party so therefore she slept so much to stay energized throughout. True enough, only at the beginning she was abit shocked and scared, WHY SO MANY PPLE! But slowly she opened up, and walking around, everyone also carried her and as usual, what Ber said "Evil smile!" He even asked me and Mr who had that smile that she learnt from, seriously NONE OF US. Dunno where she learnt from. Cheeky girl. :P

Cake cutting time!! Once the cake was unleashed, snapping of so many cameras began! Haha. Me and Mr was satisfied with the design of the cake. Happy. During cake cutting, I had one personalized birthday song specially with Chloe's name in it, but I guessed no one really heard it when I played it during cake cutting cos everyone is singing so loudly.. Haha. Another surprised was that when we all started singing, Chloe was smiling, she was enjoying the attention. And at this point, me and Mr felt so touched that we almost cried. I could see Mr's eyes watery. Same goes for mine. Haha. Argh.. we are emotional animals! Haha. But really thanked everyone for giving Chloe such a beautiful party and memory for me and Mr.

Most left after eating the yummy cake which recieved alot of compliments and asked me where did I bought it from. Pine Gardens. Keke. All raved about the Lychee Martini (second layered) cake. First layer was Blackforest, and the third layer was Citrus the non alcoholic layer for the kids.

Beginning I was thinking the most tiring will be the tearing down of the decorations, but I felt it was much more fun than doing up the place. Dunno why. More relaxed. And we even had the time to sit down, eat, drink, and chat/joke with our ex colleagues cum volunteers. And we even "snatched" for the leftovers of the treat bags which was meant for the kids. Haha.

Overall the party was a success, only letdown was some couldn't make it at the very last min. I am awaiting to view all the photos shot by Hawk, my volunteer cum camera man.

And lastly, would like to thank all who attended the party and your gifts of wishes. And photos will be blogged when I recieve all of them. Stay tuned!

Weekend at Batu

2008-11-30T21:29:00.000-08:00

Super tiredzz. After a weekend trip to Batu to visit Mr's grandma. I think this is the latest night we ever reached SG after a visit. 12midnight plus. Due to our frantic shopping and traffic jam as usual at Tuas Checkpoint.

We set off at 3plus on Sat afternoon which is a little late than usually we set off as well. Hee. Reached there around 6, settled down, and usual routine to go Ajisen for dinner with Mr. But my stomach suddenly felt so pain after having the ramen, but this pain has been persistence since Wed lunch time after I ate Jap Eel Rice at the canteen. Cry. But still I went on to shop at Summit until 10plus before we all return back to rest. Again, we bought clothes for Chloe, cos is really cheap there and some are nice. Couldn't sleep properly that night due to the stomach pains. Sad, even if it is food posioning but I did not have diarhoea, weird hur..

Next morning, which by surprise, the little one slept until 9am! Even me and Mr already woke up at 8plus, cos my stomach pain! So we laid there and chatted, why Chloe haven't wake up and she always sleep so well in other places than home. Haha.She wriggled and tot she woke up, so we pretended to sleep. Then who knows, she didn't move and we peeped, SHE SLEPT AGAIN! Few minutes later she wriggle and got up again, same thing happened. She went back to sleep seeing us sleep. The third time she really woke up and sat there, laid down and stretched, and then sat up again. Looking at the wall, we made some noise, she turned back to see us sleeping. Hehe. She turned back staring at the wall, again, this time Mr wanted to scare her. Haha. 1, 2, 3 CHLOE! She turned and laughed! Haha. This was how we started the day earlier than rest. Fed her, bathed her, played with her.

Around 3plus, by right, we agreed to go City Square at Johor to shop, but the time didn't allow us to. So we went back to Summit to do our last minute groceries shopping then head to Pacific Mall for dinner. Went to a HK cafe for dinner like those in SG and the prices there are relatively cheaper. The food is not bad too. Yum. After dinner, when we wanted to walk around, then realise the time was already 8 plus. Quickly made our way to Vinnci to check out were there any nice shoes. NO. Sianz. But we ended up buying 6 Wii games. Hehe. Now only waiting for Mr to buy the modification chip to mod our Wii then we can start to play those games! YAY!

On our way back to SG, was really terror! During our shopping trip, Chloe slept. Prayed she slept until reached SG. But who knows in the car, Rianne screamed, and Chloe woke up. And stayed wide awake until we reached SG. So you can imagine what happened in the car, jumping around, cannot sit still, shouting, singing, making irritating songs. Cry. We even said "Like this we already cannot tahan, what happened when we go KL during CNY 5 hours in the car?!" I think all of us will go crazy and when we got off the car, all our hair will be very messy and down came Chloe out of the car with a smirking smile that she has conquered all of us! OMG! I really cannot imagine, so we were still deciding or not to take the plane up to KL but is gonna cost a bomb during CNY. HOW!!! Can someone suggest? Other than giving her sleeping pills. HAHA. LUckily she slept through when we were on our way to Batu. :)

Reached home put down the stuffs, fed her milk, make her sleep, by the time I already going to KO. Dragged myself to bathe and laid on the bed beside her. Mr joined us and suddenly we were chatting again about whether to go SG flyer this Sat before Chloe's birthday party starts, since is free sponsored by his Company's family day. Luckily we chatted for 15mins and I drifted into my dream..

I thanked the small one for not waking up to drink milk, Haha, but she did make noise but Mr just stuffed the pacifier in her mouth and she slept. If every night is like this... I would suffer from inadequate sleep. Haha.
Looking forward to this Sat!!! Wondered what will happened, how she will react when she sees the POOH decorated room, and her bdae cake! OMG!! Hope everything turn out fine. See u all who will be attending! :)

See!! Again.

Disco Fever Part 1.. See her moves with the music..

Disco Fever Part 2.. Wait for the "No No No"!

Sickly weekends..

2008-11-23T21:40:00.000-08:00

Weekends were spoilt! Can't go out with Twin to carry on Chloe's birthday preparation. But to stay home and rest.

It all happened on Fri afternoon about 5pm, when boss finished talking to me for 2 hours. When I returned back to my desk, I suddenly felt a pain in my throat. SORE THROAT! And FLU! Dunno what happened. But it was a long talk from my boss, about how the way a proposal should be written. Stories about how to be successful and climb. How to look for opportunity and take control of all the regions. Boss kept complimenting I have strong language skills which is an advantage over most people, and he will teach me to use this advantage in other areas and WIN. Morale of the story is play mind games. After talking so much to me, I felt I really like this job and him in a way, and even felt happy after hearing him, like a motivating talk. But I still have to rewrite my proposal and email to him by 6pm otherwise on Mon. But I gave my best and complete before I left home. Hope to leave an impression. Worried and anxious what comments he is going to give on Mon. I am still waiting till now, maybe later I will ask him about it.

Ya, so Sat morning have to go visit the doctor cos my throat DAMN PAIN! Whole weekends I was like a zombie. Luckily my sprained ankle was getting better, could walk without limping. Haha. Next Sat is CHLOE's BIRTHDAY!! VERY EXCITED! Hope the whole party turns out FUN for everyone.

Still sick. And unhappy with coll. This is not the first time already. He asked me to setup a server and he only provided minimal instructions and guidance. And he asked me to do it. When I have question, I asked him, and what I got back from him was he just trying to shift the question to elsewhere, in other words, asking myself to solve it cos he is BUSY. He is always using BUSY as an excuse not to teach me anything. I really very angry! Sometimes I feel my lead also another one. Maybe they looked down on woman doing IT. In the interview, my lead told me that woman are very bad and lousy in IT. (already shows he look down on woman!) I really don't like working with such coll, but what to do. This kind of situation can only show when u come in. But luckily there is another coll, though not in the same team literally, but he is helpful and teaches properly. Maybe I can rely on him to give me answers, since he has been working longer than my coll. :( Very sad to have such coll. I angrily wanted to show them I got the talent, but somehow got heart but no energy. Servers configurations are internal ways, cannot be googled. Haiz, I guess that is why coll wont teach u much, scared take away his job. Haha. Anyways.. bear with it lor. I believe in time, I will master it. Thanks to the skill of making friends, become frens with one of the HR, and eventually my lunch partner. :)

It's ok, will feel better seeing Chloe's pictures.

She trying to read the time.. Keke.

Wow big mouth hor..

My fav shot!

Daddy's fav.

Shake hands?

She is angry!

Nice weekends..

2008-11-16T18:18:00.000-08:00

Weekends has always been rush but nice for all of us. I can say last week's time really passed very fast, when I dragged myself to work on Monday, cos being new, there is nothing much for me to do for now, so I felt I am dragging myself to work, but nonetheless, Friday came very soon. I guessed cos whole week I been stressed on 2 presentations and working on my powerpoint slides. First presentation will come very soon which is on this Thurs with all HODs, which include as well the MD. Kaoz. Cold Feet. The next presentation will be on 12 Dec on the all staff quarterly meeting. Besides, I still got to put up a presentation with a group of new staff to "present" ourselves. Kaoz, never in my life to do so many presentations. :( After all, it may be a new experience for me, and who knows, a new life may be embarked. Haha, being a public speaker for Siemens. Haha. Dreaming.

But anyways, sat met up with Twin, to go to AMK to order Chloe's 1st birthday cake. Cost me $180 for a 4kg 3 tiered cake, with custom made designs. But of cos, still cheaper than the 3D ecreative cake which I wanted, $240. Though my Ah Kim wanna sponsor me, but I think is not necessary, she can put the money in ang bao for me. Haha. Sat was really tiring for me, I almost travelled whole Spore's MRT line, from Chinese Garden to Expo MPH Book Fair, to get Mr the books he wanted as a surprise for him, cos the price is not any cheaper in Book Fest @ Suntec. Then rushed down to Orchard for my facial, after got a book for Mr again as I couldn't find at Expo. Then rushed down to AMK again to meet Twin to order the cake. Then rushed down to Bugis Tekka Mall to get balloons' ribbons. Then rushed home. See! I travel almost whole MRT line, except part of red line and Twin said still got north east line! Zzz. Oh I felt so upgraded when I actually bought 3 storybooks for myself, first time in my life I bought books for myself !!! Wonder when will I finish those books. Haha.

At last, ordering of cake is done. Getting the party stuffs is done. Except for ordering of buffet due to some frens not yet reply (Sad), and getting some big stones then we are all DONE and READY! 2 more weeks!

Sat evening went to Mr's cousin's girl's 1st Birthday. So cute to see a baby walks. Like penguin. And Chloe has started to walk on her own at least 10 steps! Good progress! She is those kind that must praise her then she will do those stunts. Argh. Guess all kids are the same. So when you see her, clap your hands and she will be happie. Haha. Sun afternoon went Jurong Point to buy my cup for office, and a card case cover to put my pass. All done. Got a Forever Friends cup. Hee. Headed home. Supposed to go visit West Coast plaza for dinner, but me and Mr quite sian, ended up we ordered 933 golden pillow. Hehe. Nice but cannot finish. Ordered too much. Haha.

Overall, a nice weekend coupled with watching the little Chloe's walking. Video posted.

Chloe walking on her own, still learning and balancing stage...

2008-11-09T22:42:00.000-08:00

It has been 4th day working in Siemens for me. One of my new-made fren in orientation actually remarked that I actually downgraded from Terrace house to HDB. Haha. As Cisco Systems actually provided alot of "luxuries" for its staffs, like free snacks and good quality drinks, and long lunch breaks, while here was... factory kinda setting. But after having lunch with my boss today, and he talked alot on different working environments and the disadv of working in big companies in shenton way, etc. Which really makes alot of sense. Working in big companies in Shenton way, dressed nicely, doesn't mean u are earning alot, etc. While those working in Tuas or factory areas are those who are earning alot, cos factories earn money you earn money in terms of profits. This I agree fully with him. That's why now I am here. Haha. I been to big companies, so now is time for me to have an experience change. But anyways, all's well. So far so good. Boss and colleagues nice people for now. Hehe. Who knows what will happen right. Hehe.

Now been tasked to do some ISO stuffs for company. And I will have my first presentation in Dec to the company in the quarterly meeting. Geez.. I really hate to talk and present. But what to do, there will be lots coming up. Wish I have half of Cheryl's ability. Haha.

Weekends was normal, it supposed to be abnormal due to Mr went for the Subaru challenge but dropped out during the first dinner break on Sat evening. So sad for him, as this is the first year he managed to get in and had a sure-win position, all cos of the guy infront of him rub his ass against his D***. Haha. So is really wasted.. Else who knows maybe he is still inside, and I even planned everyday after work go visit him, thinking of the days when he can fetch me to work, etc. And he even said SEE YOU ON WED NIGHT when he bid goodbye to me on Sat wee early morning. Lol. But is ok, can always go again next year.

Is also good, that he can accompany me and Chloe during weekends. Hehe. But I told him to go back to rest after he gave up on Sat night, while me went to my cousin's birthday and slept over at my mum's place after. Only returned home on Sun afternoon, after having Dim Sum lunch with family and relatives. N yes, collected Chloe's birthday cake's toppers! So excited to bring it to the cake shop this Sat to discuss the design. Hope they accept my Pooh n Frens figurines. Keep fingers crossed. :X

So by this Sat, got to complete most stuffs with Twin. Discuss cake design with the shop, getting ribbons for the balloons from Tekka Mall, and balloon weights to buy, and table cloth, drawing out words for banners. Hope to complete all by this Sat so that next Sat can be a rest day for us. Haha.

Didn't take much pictures due to no battery. These are mainly taken by my Ah Kim at her house on Sat. I guess is enough treats for Mr's colleagues!

Mr said this picture really look like him when he was young.

I think this picture look like Mr as well.

So funni meh??

How come she only has 2 teeth!

Must be laughing at somebody, she likes to do this.

Cute.

Shes like to slant and peep.

So sian of taking photos.

It has been a very long, long weekends

2008-11-04T00:27:00.000-08:00

It has been a very long weekend for me, but time seemed to past so fast and tomorrow is already Wed which is the day I am going to start my life anew. Since Wed I have left Cisco, I been out almost everyday, and felt there is not enough rest!! I want more!! Hehe. Let's see.. Thurs I went to colour my hair copper red, then stayed at home the whole day with Mr and Chloe, since he was on MC, we went to Popular to buy her some BIG Educational Posters. Fri, stayed home until evening time, to go back to TP to meet Phoebe, Nelson, Hubert to go St James. It was quite sad as most of them cannot make it, and ended up with just US.. But still not so bad, chatted, laughed. Except only for some disappointments... which I will not disclose here. Haha. Then Sat went out with Twin to buy Chloe's birthday supplies till afternoon, then went home to pick up Chloe to go my mum's place. Sun morning brought her back so that I can join my parents and brother to go to NbyN to take family studio shots. We had alot of fun, though not much poses, but I felt this is another way of having family entertainment and bond! Ended up we signed a $3k plus package to take photos lifetime. Haha. AT LEAST now, I don't have to worry to go where to shoot Chloe's 1st birthday photos. Monday went KTV with honey ya at that new Partyworld at Liang Court.. Hehe. And today I just came back from Bugis shopping with my mum and Chloe.

Thinking back, I really do not have much BED REST at home. But still, I had an enjoyable "holiday" before I start my new job tomorrow. Feeling now was abit dull, thinking that I have to wake up at 6.45am, have been such a long time since I ever woke up when the sun has not rise. U know, always when u wanted to start new job, questions in the mind will be like, what my colleagues be like? lunch how to settled? Will they bring me to lunch or will I lunch alone? Will I have to work OT? Alot of similar questions appear each time I start new job... Haha but no worries la, adaption very fast..

Tonight we will be celebrating Mr's Dad's birthday. After that, faster come home and sleep early to prepare for war tomorrow!! Hehe. Hope Chloe let Mummy have a good sleep tonight.

Actually took alot of photos, but Mummy too lazy to edit.. SO all the photos are on Facebook even her makeovers!

Hmm..Thinking..

I still love to play with ball..

I too, loved to kiss babies!

I help Jie Jie carry bag..

Ooowoohh..

Relaxing and free weekends!

2008-10-27T20:06:00.000-07:00

This is the most relaxing and free weekends I ever had!!! Friday night after a sumptous seafood dinner at Pasir Panjang Food Centre, me, Mr and Chloe went over to West Coast for a 2 nights' stay since mum in law is going Batu for visiting. And due to Mr need to go attend an investment seminar, so I also decided to stay put at West Coast with dad in law. But on Sat morning, Mr supposed to go for the seminar, ended up he woke up late, but still he went to take his jeans and towel to bath, but less than a min, he came back into the room, and I asked him why? He said, "Sian, think don't go liao, $799 fly.. and now so late, cannot reach Expo in time." I was so HAPPY! Means Mr got to spend his time with us, darlings, for the weekends! Yay! And afternoon we went to Vivo to buy working clothes for my new job. But only managed to buy 2 G2000 pants. :( Maybe I will go shopping again with Mum next Tues at Bugis. Haha.

Especially this weekends, me and Mr got the craving to eat Good Food, dunno why. We started off with Mac for breakfast on Sat morning, due to a full breakfast we didn't have lunch, then we had Bak Ku Teh at Havelock Rd for dinner. Then we had Sakae sushi for lunch on Sun. We wanted to save but no choice, to satisfy our cravings! Keke.

We spent our weekends and holiday watching the TVB series, Pillow case of Mystery. And we FINISHED all of 20 Episodes! See how relaxed and free we are!! But it was nice! I kept telling Mr when can we ever had such "freedom" right.. :P Sun night went back to Jurong East, and we went to IMM giant as usual to buy our groceries. Suppose to make purees for Chloe but ended up, didn't. Reached home 5pm and Binte already wanting to cook dinner, so not to make a mess out of it, I decided to make later but ended up, didn't. Maybe Thurs when I am at home the whole day!

Awaiting for my last day tomorrow and Dragonfly on Friday with friends!!! Yuppie!

I finally got down from my bed!

Nice food I ate! Brown rice with Raspberry yogurt!

Clap hands!

See my mouth, dirty or not?

Blackberry ambassador!

I know how to open cupboard!

Do I look like chipmunk?

Video of Chloe clapping hands and Nodding head!

2008-10-19T21:19:00.000-07:00

Came back from my KL trip on Sat midnight. KL has not much changed since I went there a few years ago, still roughly remember some routes. After we checked-in, went to Mid Valley to have Paddington pancakes which my bro and gf said very nice. Not bad. Enjoyable. Went shopping all the way until evening, went back to hotel area to have seafood dinner at some roadside stall. Not as fanastic maybe my twin's fren do not know where seafood is nice, so... whatever.

Then went to KTV which they called it Green Box. The KTV there is really weird, the package price always come with buffet dinner/supper. Whether you eat or you don't eat, is the same price. That time we already had dinner, too full to have buffet again, even at 1am for supper. FULL. It was halloween celebration for them, so a "GHOST" came into our room, and told us we have a mystery gift but it never came back again. SO SAD. GHOST just disappeared. Went back hotel at 1am. So tired. Zzz.

Next day after our breakfast, went shopping around our hotel area since we didn't do so the day before. Never expected that I will buy 3 pairs of shoes, and some skirts and shirts for my new job opening. Haha. It was a fun and tiring shopping though. We even had to change another $50SGD over there as we ran out of RM. Haha. Ate our late lunch and continue to shop again till we board our bus at 6pm.

Wanted to sleep on the bus but ended up I saw some cockroaches running around my seat area.. Lucky the bus was quite empty so I changed seats.. I HATE COCKROACHES! >:( At last reached SG at 11.30pm.

Initially I tot I could sleep early and sleep more during this holiday but ended up, stayed up late and wake up automatically at 8am. So sad. But is ok, since this is the first holiday I went with twin other than going to diving previously.

Sun evening went to attend Yerong's son's 1st birthday. This is the first party event I attended with hubby and Chloe. Sort of like meeting frens who already have kids. A grown-up event. Chloe this time, didn't dare to touch any kids, dunno why. But only played with the adults. Maybe she thinks that only adults can give her more attention. As usual the same praises, Wow her eyes very big leh.. She look ang moh ang moh leh.. etc. Haha. Before cake cutting she was doing her usual shouts, and gain people's attention and they will come to her, make it seemed like is her birthday event.Haha. After cake cutting, faster go home, I think I am the first one to leave haha, cos Chloe keep shouting. Haha. So pai sei.. though kids are kids.

So fast weekends has come to an end again. Waiting for my last day to come.. Hehe..

Disney Cafe

2008-10-12T19:55:00.000-07:00

At last we met up. Me, Twin, Hui Lian & Heng Tiong & their girl, Stephanie, and of cos, Chloe. Together with my mum and maid. Gathered at Disney Cafe at Anchorpoint, thinking there will be food that are applicable to babies but who knows, they only served limited food, pizzas and pasta only! The food was not really fanastic and needless to say, EXPENSIVE. One pizza average cost about $16. Is only nice cos of their Mickey Mouse head design. Other than that, nothing special.

When Chloe met Stephanie (sounds like a movie title. Haha), they were both sitting in the baby chairs side by side, and Chloe immediately touched her, and also wanted to take the wristband that Stephanie had. And Chloe even used her index finger to poke her, not softly but.. Hehe. Then me and my mum keep telling her Don't BE So Violent! But how she knows right. She just continued to do it, and there is one time even wanted to poke her eyes luckily my mum stopped her. Stephanie already wanted to cry, but luckily never. Haha. That's how kids behaved. I was really shocked when Chloe demostrates such behaviour, my initial tot was she will be shy or cry upon seeing strangers, but no, she was laughing and talking and shouting. Would a mum rather have such sociable and active kid or a quiet kid? Sometimes I wonder.. Of cos we took some pictures and parted.

At evening, went over to my auntie's place for BBQ. And at the same time measuring the size of the function room to prepare for the purchases of the birthday supplies for Chloe's birthday to be held there. So excited, I wonder how the place will be done up to. Even my mum even said "wow your Chloe must have alot of fans until your need to do up until so..." Haha. To me, 1st birthday is very important. Dunno why.

What a tiring Saturday. Luckily Sunday we managed to rest a little.

Now can only hope that we can get a good ballot queue for HDB purchasing.

Looking forward to this Friday KL trip with Twin! A good break for me.

I am all ready to go out!

OH! Eat also want to play!

Some toys put up on their ceiling @ Disney cafe.

Chloe took some time to realise there is Pooh Bear on top.

Mickey Mouse pizza!

Please wash your hands..

See my noti Chloe so friendly.. but want to take people's wristband.

The ladies and the girls.

All of us!

Joanne,Charmaine, Binte, Chloe and Cheryl.

Weekend @ Parkway

2008-10-05T20:32:00.000-07:00

Today Chloe turned 10 Months!! Right now, she crawls around, no longer creeps. She like to cruise around while holding on to furnitures. She still has only 2 bottom teeth. She keeps making Pa and Ma sounds and all other weird sounds which we have not yet make out. She likes to suddenly shout and makes us laugh. She likes to "click" her tongue to make sounds. But worst of all, she does not have a very good temper sometimes. In other words, stubborn. :p

Fri night after dinner with my 2 mums and sister in law and of cos the 2 babies, me and Chloe went back to my mum's place to stay since next morning, mum decided to go with me to meet Twin at Parkway Parade to meet the cake designer for Chloe's birthday. I kept asking mum if we should take cab or train since taking cab really cost a bomb. So ended up we took a bus to the interchange and then take a train. On the bus, lucky somehow she kept still a while except for a few stand-ups. She was looking at the uncle sitting beside us. Then later playing with a little girl's pouch who is standing beside us (we sat the outer seat). Then after the little girl alighted, she turned back and played with 2 girls behind and smiling. Then later she sat down and the ah ma infront turned back and gave Chloe her ezlink card and she so shy to take. Then later the ah ma "clicked" her tongue to make the "luck" sound. Then Chloe imitate her. So funni. Luckily the bus ride is good. Now the train's turn.

We boarded the next train cos the first train was crowded. We took sort of a corner seat so Chloe can stand and see the scenery outside. But she was not interested. She just wanted to walk around the seats. But her aim is to walk to the girl sitting beside me. And she touched the girl! And she laughed. I think she really like to disturb people. The girl was reading her school notes I think. But she stopped to play with Chloe. Then Chloe walked away and then sat on my lap. She continued to read with her one side of her hair blocked her face. Chloe tried to be funny again, she lowered and tilt her head to peep at her. Haha! Then they started to play again. Around commonwealth station she felt sleepy and she slept! Haha.. all the way till Kallang and up the cab to Parkway! Heng! No big commotion happened!

We met Twin and coincidence we met Jennie, she is getting married in Dec. :) Twin wanted to carry Chloe but she don't let her cos stranger ma.. but after a while of attempts with a few "treats" at last she sat on Twin's lap to play at Swensen's. Haha. Even at Swensen's she also played hide and seek with the table behind us. OMG. Haha. Are kids all like that.. haha. So cute. But we went back home in cab and cost us $20 bucks! From one end to the other end of Singapore. But she slept all the way too. Good girl.

As usual at night went to my uncle's house for gathering. Nothing much special happen except she gotten a Baby Pooh bear from Charmaine.

On Sun after dim sum after HarbourCity we went to my ah ma's house. Very long never visit her liaoz.. But the moment Chloe saw my Ah Kim and Ah Ma, she cried. Was like once a blue moon then see them, Ah Kim say wow lao, next time must come often. Haha. But they stay AMK lehz.. Will try la. But only when she see my cousin Desmond, the younger brother, she won't cry and even smile when taking photos. The rest cannot make it. Haha. She cried so terribly until I have to take outdoor. Then in the end went home. Haha.

Waiting for this Sat to come to meet up with Twin again, Huilian and her baby girl cos Sat her girl had a fever. Hope this Sat's gathering will be successful.

Photos time!

All dressed up and ready to go out!

Take a few shots first..

Trying to make monkey faces!

See.. I also got ezlink card..

My new style of taking photo.. Hehe.

See the box of sweets Twin tried to tempt her.. Haha.

At last finally tempted her with the phone. :p

Can u see the biscuit inside my mouth?

Look at the 2 of them .. so fascinated by the dry ice effect.. My GOD!

oops.. my dress not worn properly..

Can see my hairband worn by Nai Nai?

See my pose? Like model or not?

Busy yet fun weekend!

2008-09-28T23:55:00.000-07:00

Sat met up with twin to discuss Chloe's birthday bash's details. We sat at suntec's kfc, the feeling was like doing final year project. Haha. We searched online for cheap deals, comparing prices, taking down addresses to visit the shops to see the birthday supplies locally before deciding whether to buy it from US. And the funniest was imagining the height of the backdrop, how tall is the mylar, using my height as the base. :x So can imagine the mylar is only half my size which is very small. Not to what we wanted. So the search and hunting continues on 11 Oct to my aunt's place to take down the measurements of the function room! So fun and excited. We even joked if it is successful, we will placed the pictures online and offer our charges to anyone who is interested to hire us as their children's party planners! Haha.. a part time source of income. :o)

Then we decided to walk to concourse to check out the supplies' prices at around 2.30pm since we still got some time left before we end our discussion. Then ended up, concourse shopping mall closed down for renovation. Zzz. Then we walked to Tekka Mall to check. Is really damn long walk lo until today my leg's muscles are aching! But lucky our efforts paid off, we found our goodie bag's supplies! Yuppie! One down.

Faster rush home at 4plus as my aunt is coming to fetch me at 6pm for my Mexican cousin's bdae. It was at Cheng Soon Gardens, one of those big houses. I love to visit those big big houses and check out their decor. This house was big, but quite empty with decors. Not much decors. But what captured us was the 9 feet pool table and the dart board besides the garden. We only started playing after our dinner when everyone was busy eating. Haha. Then we got a chance to play. So long never touched pool, lucky I still got compliments from my uncle. But after being thrashed by my bro, I totally lost morale, and even worst when all my uncles, aunties and dad watching us play. Haha. But luckily only lost 3 balls to my bro. Then later my dad and uncles started to play dartboard, who shot the bull eye wins $1. Whoever wins, will always tell me "See, So easy money!" Faint, set me and Mr laughing. Cos that uncle of ours really damn funni. Even Chloe also like him alot! And needless to say, everytime we have such gathering, is a relax time-off for me and Mr, cos everyone will snatch to carry Chloe!

At night when we returned home, my bro and his gf already reached home before us and tried to be a bartender mixing alochol drinks. The moment we stepped into the house, he quickly brought out from the fridge 2 glasses of long island tea for us to sample. Zzz.. Become guinea pigs. He even gave me a few pages of recipe to choose, ma chiam like Drinks Menu. But ended up, he don't have the ingredients for the drink I wan. So he made me a Magarita. Too much tequila liaoz.. Not nice. I still prefer going to pub. Haha.

Sun after watching the Meet Dave movie at home, we decided to make a trip down to Tah Ching Road to see the showflat. A 4-room flat. Very small. Even my maid also commented the kitchen so small. Haha. But there is a already renovated 4-room showflat for the public to view. Not bad. There is really a difference between EMPTY and after nicely done up with floorings and furnitures. But we decided not to take 4 room cos is really very cramped and small. Weekends has past just like that.

Looking forward to this Sat's gathering with Sok, Huilian and her girl. Yay! And of cos, waiting for my new life to be leased on Nov 5. Thank GOD.

She has been making this funny face until my dad says she is super cheeky!

I borrowed Mummy's new carebear! So Comfy!

I have some food in my mouth!

See I can play the piano!

Trying to walk..

I don't like Mummy and Daddy play my piano!Bite them!Grrrr..

2008-09-21T19:27:00.000-07:00

Weekends suppose to be freer, such that I should have time to whip up the baby food and stored into the ice trays and up to the freezer so that the maid can use it anytime when she cook porridge for the princess. But ended up, NO TIME. I bought all the foods on Friday night, thinking I will do it over the weekends, who knows, my mum asked me back for lunch on Sat since last week she didn't really played with Chloe. Thinking is ok, there is still Sunday. And who knows again, Mr's sis asked us to go Vivocity when we came back from my mum's place. So there goes my weekends! Maybe I shall ask Mr to do it for me since he is off work today and tomorrow. And he should do his a little Daddy's part. Hehe.

Chloe has started a little to sayang her little cousin (Sis in law's girl, Riann). Her style of sayang is really special. Maybe a little shy. She will use her head to lightly nod on the baby's head. Haha. Cute isn't it. Or she will use a her index finger to poke a little on the baby's hand. Haha.

Today's blog is short. Not much happenings but busy. And didn't even take any photos until the very last minute at night yesterday.

In baby carrier while shopping around Vivo.

Sitting in her princess chair.

Daddy's idea of her flying on Pooh!

Cute.

Tired weekendz.

2008-09-14T20:25:00.000-07:00

Another early Sat morning to start the day with. Head so pain, suffered a little hangover from Fri night's drinks. But managed to survive through the day. During my sleep from 4am to 7am, I have to plan in the sub conscious mind what time should I wake Chloe up so that she can have her late morning nap so that she will be alert during the 12.30pm photoshoot. But end up I was too tired to wake up at 7am to play with her, but lucky she did managed to catch a little nap at 10plus till 11 plus.

The photoshoot overall was so-so. Not as good as medicorp I can say. Of cos la, mediacorp has to produce excellent pictures ma! During the shoot, Chloe was not smiling or laughing, she was just STUNNED and in her own world playing the toys she sees there! Then all of us was like clowns making her laugh and look at the camera! Sweat! Even I have to dance ballet there for her but she was not laughing like she was at home! Grrr.. But ended up, took a few smiley pictures, she was warmed up towards the end.. She enjoyed the part when she was put in a basket. Haha. It all ended after 2hours! I was even targetting to end after an hour. Faint. Photos will only be ready by 6 weeks.

After that, we have to rush over to sis in law place to fetch her go to Parkway to buy her girl's pram. And ended up, we bought one wooden high chair for Chloe. Haha. She enjoyed sitting in it at the dept store so Mr decided to buy it, since it can be converted to table and chair which can be used for later stage. Cost us 109.

At 6pm have to rushed back to West Coast for my aunt's house warming. Whoa, when I entered, all my relatives were already there, cos we are late.. Haha. Then I saw alot of kids, man! They surely have grown up! What I wanted to see was my 2 cousins from Mexico. The last time I saw Joanna was a small little girl, now she has grown up to be a pretty girl, and she looked alike to Charmaine! Too bad I didn't bring my camera along. :(
And she super like to carry Chloe around. Haha. And even fed her water. Seeing so many kids, give me the tot that Chloe's 1 year old party will be fun! Haha.. have asked my aunt to book her function room at Tiong Bahru as well. Waiting for the first discussion with Twin next week..

Then Sun early morning turned up at Sis in law's place for girl's one month celebration. Then while she went to collect the cakes, me and Mr brought Chloe for a swim. The moment she touched the cold water she make noise. So we went slow, with me going into the water first then she followed. Then we hit the water and she followed. She liked to hit the water and when the water splashed on her face she laughed. Too bad I didn't video it down. Sad. But she definitely dun like the neck float!!! Even I demo to her, she still dun like, maybe cos her head smaller, and when she wore it, the height of the float actually covered until her mouth so it made her can't see much, she made noise. Haha. There were alot of kids as well, but little interaction cos mostly can already run around. But when we brought her to make fren with another same age as her, Chloe point out her index finger (which she likes to do this all the time) and POKE the little girl's EYES! Lucky she didn't cry though she seemed to want to. HAHA. Noti Chloe.

Stay tuned!! And keep yourself free on 6 Dec 2008.. :o)

Her new fox baby suit.

The new high chair.

Loved piggy-back. Part 1.

Part 2. Make a mess out of Mummy's hair.Hoho.

Chloe turned 9 months' old

2008-09-07T19:56:00.000-07:00

On Sat, Chloe turned 9 months' old. Wondered at which month she will know how to walk, since now that she is cruising already. On this day, she was also due for her injection. When we reached there, the nurse told us to go to the lab to do her blood test for Hap B. I telling Mr to let her play with his handphone when doing the blood test so that she won't cry or whatsoever. But who knows, when the needle prick on her forth finger she cried like mad. So ke lian. And they have to squeeze so much blood out. Sad. But later a while she stopped crying, and she kept looking at her finger which is stuck with handiplast. Haha. Returned back to the clinic, her turn for the injection. Doc say she really slow weight gain, she is now only 7.4kg, 67 cm. She belong to the lower end eater. Haha. This time round the injection, though I distracted her with the toys Doc had, but she still cried like mad again. Poor Chloe. But she stopped crying when she was offered biscuit. Haha. Tam Jiak Gui. Haha. Dunno this time round she sees Doc she cried, compared to other times she was smiling at him, maybe that's why Doc say now they know who they like or dislike. A bit of stranger anxiety. While we were waiting for our turn to pay, the nurse called out "CHLOE TAN" and that time I was already standing infront of her, she was shocked and even asked me, you sure she is Chloe Tan??? Then I said YES! She replied, she looked like boy. Diaoz... lolz.

Nothing special over the weekend, except for Sun, went to Crystal Jade at IMM for dim sum in the morning with my family, celebrating Dad's birthday. And surprised him with Andy Lau's concert tickets. We actually told him that all the tickets sold out. Haha. So fun and happy to give people surprises! Then went shop around then went home for a nap.

Though nothing special but felt so tired from running around.

This coming weekend will be worst. But it will be fun! Hopefully.

My way of cruising..

Me and my first power puff lantern bought by Po Po. We look alike??

I turned 9 months old!!! Can see my teeth already??

2008-09-04T20:41:00.000-07:00

2 days of leave has past so fast. And here I am back at work. :( And supposed US will cover for me, but so shitty nothing has been done and end up my cases missed SLAs. What to do..

Anyway I had a great bdae this year! Though not very fanciful but still happie with all the hao liao to eat. Especially roast duck!

On 2nd Sept 2008, every yr I will stay up until 12midnight but this yr I am so tired that I went to sleep at 11pm. Then at 12midnight, Mr brought a cake with candle to the room to wake me up to blow the cake! My GOD!! I was like still in my dream then dunno is it real ornot. But is real. Later I went toilet to pee. Haha. Thank you BB. Wed Mr and me as usual every year, we will go to our KTV session, but this year, after KTV we went to Body Contours Spa at Royal Brothers Building. The spa is so-so only. And the lady gave damn bad attitude when we do not want to purchase anything. Doubt we will go again! Then later I got cravings for roast duck again, and I brought Mr to Asian Kitchen since he has never tried it before. Haha.. 2 times roast duck for a week!

Then on Thurs, met with twin. As usual every year, on our birthdays we have to go KTV. This time round I went KTV for 2 days which left me dunno what to sing on Thurs. Haha. After which twin accompanied me to do something which I never did before in my whole life, and it is the first and last time. Buying of most expensive Andy Lau concert tickets. $198. Even I go to other concert I always buy the cheapest, but who ask Andy Lau to be Mr's idol. And also twin psycho me say this might be Andy's last time here in Singapore, for he being so old le. Haha. So my $400 fly fly fly. Eat grass for the next 3 months le. Haha. But I think it is worth it! He is so SHUAI! His voice so nice! And twin still ask me to bring booster seat to raise myself higher so I can see better, as the front seats all are not levelled. :( Then for herself, so she is so ZHI SUAI. She bought her idol, Lee Hom, $198 ticket as well just for herself. ALONE. Tomorrow she will be buying the cheapest ticket for Andy Lau. Lucky for Andy Lau concert, my parents going with her, so they can sit together and enjoy the concert. Haha. We later went to bakerzin for our early dinner, and the waiter there so sweet, "poke" a candle on top of my warm chocolate cake. Oooh.. And she also showed me her holiday HK pictures, and we even planned to go Taiwan next yr together, and Japan in the next 3 or 4 yrs time when Chloe grows up. So excited!! At least I know for sure, twin gonna be stuck to me forever!

Today had Kenny Rogers with Liow. Today is my last day having hao liao.. and also end of my birthday celebrations. I beginning to felt birthdays when getting older seemed to be more "like any normal day". Maybe when I reach 35, I will have a big celebration at some club! Haha. To mark the mid of my life! Haha.

Await for tomorrow when Chloe turns 9 months and due for her injection after been so long we last visited Dr Keoy. Haha.

Partyworld with Mr.

At home with Chloe.

My Andy Lau tickets!!!!!!

Twin's Lee Hom's ticket.

Great Food since Friday!!

2008-08-31T20:22:00.000-07:00

Sounds yummy at my post title?? Hehe. Is the time of the year again when I get to eat good food pre, actual and post of my bdae! But this year the pre seemed to start early, means I get to eat more good food!

On friday, I brought mum & dad in law, Mr, Chloe and maid to Dian Xiao Er at Vivo, since I had cravings for roast duck dunno since when and Mat say is very nice, so there we are. But ended up, I sat in the queue for 45 mins while waiting for all them to arrive. Hai. The waiter kept on smiling to me cos I sat in the first of the queue for so long!! I was thinking maybe by the time they came, I already fainted in the queue and they will feed me with roast duck! Haha. But it didn't happen! LOL! But I still think Asian Kitchen's roast duck is nicer. But the nestum prawns are nice and the mongolian spare ribs! Yum!

On Sat afternoon, went over to Sis in law's place to visit her and I even prepared swim stuffs for Chloe to swim cos weather is damn sunny over at the East! Too sunny and hot until we can't go yet at 1pm. So we went to Comex for a walk then by the time 4pm we came back it started raining. We all said Chloe has no fate with swim. Cry. Then evening dinner, brought my parents to the Japanese restaurant, a part of suki group, at Jurong West Stadium. But due to having a late lunch, I didn't eat much but just some light finger foods. And fed Chloe some Salmon and tofu. But she vomited out all, maybe the Salmon got stuck somewhere. Sad.

Then on Sun super early morning at 6am, woke up to get ready for SMRT challenge! Long awaited challenge. And me and Mat kept saying "$2000 is OURS!!" Even when we were getting ready near the flag off line, when the hosts shouted some invite for some VIPS, then there is a moment of silence, and we even suggested to shout "$2000 is OURS!" Super funny. But too bad, we got stuck on our first mission cos of a stupid fire extinguisher we can't find, made us lose 1 hour there finding it! And guess what, end up we become team no 154 out of 250 teams! So MALU! We should have strategised our safety net option before the challenge and maybe who knows "$2000 is OURS!" Sadded.. took our goodie bag and off we went back. Of cos, me and Mr had a nice dim sum lunch at Fortunate restaurant. My har gao cravings has been satisfied! The feeling is so shiok! We went to comex to buy router and SD card then head home to play with Chloe. When we reached home and quickly wanted to get a bathe, we were smelly and hot. Then suddenly Mr whipped out from his cupboard, 2 sets of identical army t shirt and shorts and passed it to me to wear after bathe. So funny. And we came out of the bathrooms with same clothing. LOL. Mr napped, but me try to keep my eyes open to play with her since after all Sunday to me is a family day..

See all the nice food I get to eat since Thurs, and more coming up till Monday (post). I wonder where Mr will bring me on Wed! Awaiting..

At Dian Xiao Er.

At Jap restaurant,Chloe trying to pull Jessie's hair!

My new hairstyle done by Stylist mum. LOL!

See I can stand up!

See I can cruise!

See I can do "Stood Ups".

Swimming failure!!

2008-08-25T23:17:00.000-07:00

Remember the will to take Chloe to swim after buying her the new thermal wear and neck float, there was this chance last sat. But the weather wasn't so promising, when we were reaching the car, it starts to drizzle but we still went ahead. When we reached the pool, she was still smiling when we put on her neck float, good chance. But who knows when her legs touched the water she cried! We guessed the water too cold! It's really very cold. Then from then, she started to make noise when we bring her near the waters. Sad. We haven't even reached 10 mins we went off. HOW SAD! Wonder when got chance again. This weekend might be bringing her to sit Singapore Flyer and as well as pre celebrate my birthday! :P

On Sat, then realise from my Auntie that Chloe's bottom tooth has started to emerged! Bad mummy am I? I "poke" my finger into her mouth and touched her bottom gum, YES!! I touched SOMETHING!! Hehe.. Imagine her with tooth!! Sure be so cute!!

Now I know actually Chloe also has a sense of jealousy. My sister in law just gave birth and we tried to ask Chloe to see and touch her. But she simply BO CHAP! Then pretend to look away. Should have filmed it down. I told her that mummy sayang baby. She simply just look away! So funni.

Look forward to a busy weekend this week, with Sun's SMRT challenge! Fun Fun FUN!

Guess what she is laughing at? Mummy shaking bon bon!!

2008-08-17T20:05:00.000-07:00

Sat almost half a day gone without spending time with Chloe. Sad. She must be feeling so sad not to see us on a Sat morning when she woke up. Sat morning me and Mr went for the SMRT challenge 2008 pre briefing. Though it sounds like a easy game, but not at all with the rules and regulations and demerit timings added to the final race timing. For example, using a help option will cause us 20mins demerit, violate the rules will cause us 5 mins and taking a taxi to the destination will cause 50mins! Haha. There are so many people taking part in it maybe 2k, and I find it hard to be winner. The guy who briefed us was really so funny and action-pack! He even asked who took part in all 4 years SMART challenge, surprisingly there are 2 guys who put up their hand and it sets everyone laughing! Hopefully we can make it to top 3! Ambitious abit!

Supposingly to go for a free makeover after the briefing but who knows they can't find Mr's name on their appoointment list and so happen Mr deleted the SMS confirmation. And they won't let us in without the SMS. Damn bad service. Chased us away. Very bad. Later inthe day the person called and asked if we coming down again, just replied we are not making another wasted trip down. The name of the company is called SNAPZ.
So ended up, Mr brought me to Vivo for a walk before heading home.

Wanted to bring Chloe for a swim but the timing is kinda late as we need to head to my home before 6pm. Therefore we told her that we will bring her for a swim the next day which is yesterday.

But come to yesterday, it was raining when we reach back JE home, and so we told her ok, you go for a little nap when you wake up the rain would be gone and we can go for a swim. But who knows, she woke up at 4pm! When she woke up, can hear she got a little stuck nose, so not sure if to bring her for a swim. Fed her milk and so happen sis came back and we can borrow her car. God's will. When we changed, ready for the swim. RAIN POURS! Maybe it's really God's will that we shouldn't bring her to swim in case she gets flu again. No choice, changed back her clothes and she cried!! Poor girl. We will definitely bring her to swim this weekend.

Mummy n Daddy trying to be noti!

National Day Parade 2008

2008-08-11T19:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was on MC. Not able to blog as usual on Mondays. Due to headaches for days, coupled with the rain on NDP day. Sianz. But I still have some fun with Chloe at home. Brought her out for lunch to Jurong Point to meet Mr, and we mum and daughter took cab there, cos she is a tyrant in bus, so no choice have to take a cab. The cab uncle really funny, when reaching the taxi stand, I was so kan cheong, faster carry my bag, carry Chloe, then faster pass the money to uncle. Then uncle saw, then tell me dun kan cheong, slowly slowly, cos he haven't even stop at the taxi stand yet. Haha! No choice ma, first time bringing her out alone. :P But still, she can't stop whining in the cab as always. Cannot sit still, cannot imagine the day when she is able to walk. :~@

Backdate to NDP, the four of us, my bro, his gf, Mr and me. First time the four of us went together. At first Mr was sianz of the crowd, but when we got seated, with the goodie bag, he seemed to be very excited and rummaged the goodie bag. Haha. So did all of us. We took out the tatoos, and bro's gf suggested to paste on face and she did. Mr asked me to do that as well and he helped me. While he was helping me, a photographer caught us, and he was shooting us. I was so PAI SEH! He at least took 2 to 3 shots and even laughed at us. OMG!

As usual, the hosts and motivators will tell us what to do when the show went live, and Mr was so busy changing "apparatus". And he kept telling me he very busy changing. Lolz. Damn funny. Of cos, NDP at National Stadium is still the best, BIG. Here is quite small stage, though seats are better. Even the president's "drive past" is so short that they have to make rounds on the actual stage within the "contigencies". Anyway, the best part of the show is the "planes" show by Black Knights. Everyone was screaming and shouting and gasping at the 2 planes crossing over each other, one of them performed by Zoe Tay's husband. I always enjoyed going to NDPs. And not to forget the spectacular fireworks! Hopefully next year can ballot successfully again. :) And hope one of the years, can bring Chloe along as well.

Oh ya, we got selected for the SMRT challenge. Though we do not know what is all about, Mat and her bf, Mr and me decided to sign up and play for fun. 31 Aug 2008. Waiting for sat to come, to go for the briefing and get our T-shirts. Then in the afternoon, bringing Chloe for a swim in her new swimsuit and neck float! Hopefully it will be a nice weather!!

8 MILLION 8 MONTHS OLD!

2008-08-06T19:06:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is the 8 million draw and so happen this draw Chloe is 8 months old. And so.. we asked Chloe to pick up 8 numbers for us! LOL. Gamblers. But only this one time. See if she is our LUCKY STAR as when she was born, the person who helped her to choose the name said she will be our lucky star.. lol.

We put the little bits of crushed papers which we wrote the 45 numbers on it. Then throw it infront of her, (regret not filming it down), she only took the ones infront of her. The most she grabbed 2 at one time. After finished the 8 numbers, she realised it was so much fun and wanted to play somemore, so Sis suggest let her take another set of 8 numbers. As usual, we throw in front of her this time, she preferred not to sit up, and she crawl towards the bits of papers and went gaga over them! Sweeping them all over the bed, picking the one and only she wanted! Then she went on to pick one and she put in her mouth! Mr insist that one sure TIO one! Haha! So now we got total of 2 sets of 8 numbers, HUAT AH! :) lolx.

Hot from the stoves some of her videos. Her long-winded BU BU, and how enjoying her lunch is.

Look at her BU BU BU..

She trying to grab the camera but failed, so she BU!

See how she enjoys scratching things!

See how she wanted to lie on her back so much while eating.. trying to be relax sia..

How to make Chloe sleep better at night?

2008-08-03T20:26:00.001-07:00

Recently dunno what happen, we have difficulties putting Chloe to sleep at night, she will cry and cry for an hour before she "agrees" to sleep. Luckily on Sat night when she was at my mum's place, she slept quite fast without any crying. Heng! But when we come back on Sun night, the same thing happened again. Haiz, Mr went to reservist and won't be booking out for 3 nights. Dunno how am I going to make her sleep??! Whenever she cries, I also wish I can exchange her nightmares and leave only the sweet ones for her. I guess cos she always have nightmares therefore develops a phobia to sleep. Poor girl.

Nothing much happen, only visited my auntie's place (Chloe's godma) on Sat. And Chloe had a fun time with them, ate biscuits, and she super like to sit on my auntie's leather sofa. The whole sofa only reserved for her! Haha. Queen.

Sun afternoon, we took a bus back to JE, as there was not a cab in sight at my place. We did not think of any consequences and we just board the bus. During the first few minutes Chloe was quietly sitting on my lap, when she start to fidget, OH NO. I quickly give her my ezlink card and she played that for another few minutes. Then she started to get grumpy and me and Mr tried to catch the ezlink card she trying to throw! No use. It dropped to the floor, a little girl opp us picked up the card for us. So sweet of her, and she quite cute also. She kept laughing at Chloe, and she GASPED when Chloe wanted to eat my ezlink card! Haha. Chloe started to shout and cry on the bus, we even joke to get down the bus now Haha, but of cos, we didn't. A few bus stops before we reached, Chloe slept. She always make noise when she wanted to sleep. But somehow at night she make noise and eyes already want to close, but she still don't want to go to sleep. *SHRUG SHOULDERS*

Now can only hope I survived this week when Mr is not at home at night. And hope Sat faster come, so we can go to watch NDP LIVE! Haha. And hopefully to Taka's baby fair before NDP.

See how vain she is, she is taking photo with me, Only 2 of us looking into camera!

Haha! I conquered Mummy!

OH! My big daddy lover!

Godma's big sofa, how come so many cameras infront of me!

Hi!

Binte is here!

2008-07-27T22:39:00.000-07:00

At last our new maid is here, Binte. This time the feeling of going to JPB to pick up a maid no longer fascinating. As we know what are the procedures and things to ask, take and bring the maid out of the agency. Binte is smaller size than me, so you can imagine what's her size. She has those typical Indonesian maid's look where you can see at other residences. Suddenly seeing her makes me feel like we have a proper maid, especially when she carry Chloe. Just hard to describe the feeling.

About how her progress.. we told her the things she should do and even told her to write down so that she can remember. For now, I can say she is hardworking and tidies the place very well. Imagine yesterday morning when I woke up, I step out of the room, I stare at the living room table and I went "WOW!" Is super neat and tidy unlike the previous maid who just clean only the empty space in between things. And her priority is to do housework then eat. Just like this morning Mr asked if she has eaten, she said NO and she will only eat after she finished the job. And when she sees a little bit of water on the table, she will just clean it. I hope this type of attitude will last and not only for the few days when she is new here. But sometimes she just clean clean do her things until so engrossed she lived in her own world, even I am beside her and tell her some things she also dunno. So funny. Maybe next time I must shout her name to gain attention. Initiative wise, I haven't see much of it yet.. time will tell everything.

So my weekend is about coaching the maid, and going to Giant to do grocery shopping. What a fast weekend, till no time to bring Chloe for a swim. :(

My 2 new toys! Viewing, cannot play yet!

AT LAST! Can play! Chloe playing with Mr on her new Sing Along Stage from Fisher Price.

Laughing is contagious!

2008-07-21T20:09:00.000-07:00

Had a wonderful Saturday shopping at Orchard, bringing Chloe and dad in law. Mat gave me $140 taka voucher, thinking wanted to buy the Konfidence thermal swimwear at the children's dept but who knows the lady said already out of promotion. Sianz. Dunno what to do with the $140, went to see the high chair but the saleslady said the most can use until 1 yr old then they will start to climb out of the chair which is dangerous, and only left 5 more months she will be 1 yr old, so no point. Ended up, buying a Bumbo chair with the tray which already costs $80. Spent $20 buying disney playmat. $10 to buy a mini cup for her. Left $40 dunno what to do with it, so keep it next time see got what to buy. Then we went to Isetan Shaw to buy her Konfidence thermal swimwear which cost $64. Expensive right, but what to do, so afraid that she will catch a cold again after bringing her to swim. Pay $64 better than paying $200 medical fees! Haha. Then made my specs at Optic Point. Hope this white and purple specs will look nice. Hehe. Hope can use the thermal swimwear soon and also the neck float!! :)

Why I said laughing is contagious, because the night before, Mr was playing with Chloe, they laughed till so loud and at nothing! Scenario was like this, Chloe was sitting near to the edge of the bed, and Mr was sitting of the floor clinging to the edge of the bed. Then, Mr start to do actions like those very dramatic praying actions, and knock his head on the bed infront of her, and saying AHHHH GONG! (Gong as in knock). Then she started to laugh real loud, then Mr laughed with her so loud, then a paused. Mr started laughing louder then she followed, practically laughing at nothing funny. The laugh goes on continuously for a few minutes, set me laughing also. Cos is really damn funny, too bad, I regret not videoing down, maybe next time. :(
Hoping Sat faster come, if she is ok with her flu, I hope to bring her for a short swim.

Pictures time!

Fox baby!

My new neck float

PoSe!

Drink milk also must smile to pose!

My new bumbo chair!

Chloe don't like car rides!

2008-07-13T20:27:00.000-07:00

Busy weekend we had again, going to Batu to attend Mr's Ah Ma's birthday lunch on Sunday. So we set off on Saturday afternoon.

We always go by Second Link and we did not know why there was a long jam, way before the custom and was stuck for an hour, only to realise they took everyone's thumbprint before exiting out of Singapore custom. During the car ride, Chloe just couldn't sit still and just want to stand up and shout and make noise. Scratch the car's seat, window, practically everywhere! Cannot tahan her! Haha. And end up during the jam, she stared out of the window, saying hi to everyone who noticed her. And almost every cars which went past us say Hi to her. She so happie and keep doing BYEBYE hand sign. Good PR skills! Lolz. At last during half the journey, she cried and she slept. But JUST for HALF AN HOUR! And she is recharged! New generation Energizer. Super quick charge. And the little devil is back, up and jumping again! I really wondered why my frens' babies can sit in the car really still in their car seats and even slept, and even books also said babies like to go for car rides as it simulates the environment when they are in the womb. But seemed like it is not for Chloe. Too hyperactive already.

At last we reached Ah Ma's house. We are afraid she will cry like mad the previous first time she came. But this time, was so different! She did not cry. But smile and play with aunties and uncles and cousins! Good! We can set our minds at ease and leave with them and we can go shopping! Haha. But night time was terrible, cos due to the traffic noise outside, and she woke up with a start at every noise motorbikes made, and the slamming of the door at the opposite room, me and sister in law practically didn't sleep the whole night as we 3 shared a bed. In the middle of the night, we decided to put her in the YAO LAN after she drank her milk, and she was so so noti she flip over and crawl in the YAO LAN. She tot she was playing superman or roller coaster, there was a ride in Genting which made you lie down and fly u up and down and what Chloe did was similar. Haha. Lucky we only stayed a night. Maybe the next time round, we will go to our Ah Kim's house to sleep, is quieter. Peaceful.

During the arrival, Chloe suddenly turned to a very good girl, very gentle, very got XING XIANG. She didn't even make a single shout or noise, and sat quietly on Mr's cousin's lap. Me and Mr was like.. Duh, she also know how to BAO CHI XING XIANG. Haha. And she didn't hit or scratch anyone. Only until the next day, she start to show her true colours! Haha.

Sun had the celebration lunch. At the lunch, when Siti carried Chloe to play with Ah Fu (Mr's cousin's son), Chloe was hitting his head, and trying to pull his hair. Me and Mr saw, and then keep smiling, no more XING XIANG already. Lolz. I guess when we come back during CNY next year, the 2 kids will be fighting and running around catching each other. :)

After lunch, came back to cut cake then we departed at around 4plus. Went opposite stall to buy baby products for sister's newborn. As usual, the energizer is out to make us tired in the car. Was raining heavily and she slept. Again for HALF HOUR! And somemore on the way back to Singapore customs, traffic jam again! And Chloe was shouting all the time. Dunno what to do to quiet her down! At last we made our way out of the custom. There was this Ah Neh in his bike and he saw Chloe and did a kissing action. I saw and everyone saw and we all Yee!! And tease even Ah Neh also attracted to Chloe! Haha.

Came home, put her in Yao Lan to sleep and again she did the super man action inside. Really dunno how to scold her cos she don't understand, and we can't bear to scold or hit her when she actually give you a sweet smile or cheeky look. I guess that's how parents always can't bear to scold or hit their cute kid.

This morning when she wake up, again she flip inside her Yao Lan. I think babies like to repeat the actions they learnt and also knowing we make a fuss out of it and they are very happy and continue to do it to spite us! :o)
Actually my goal to Batu was to make a pair of specs since if I can get a cheap package for 88RM. Who knows, I tried so many colours and at last I saw one pair which I like, and the whole package will cost me 200RM and to me is reasonable, but they are not able to give me within 24 hours. Byebye to the shop. Went to the others, didn't see any I like. But I made up my mind to get a pair of WHITE specs. Hopefully I can find one I like in Singapore during this GSS.

Pictures time!

The lazy Chloe.

The Red Stripy team!

See! I can stand!

Guess what is holding me?? Scroll down for answer!

Answer: She is being held by a Bolster by MR! Chloe just like to play Exotic game!

Chloe being 7 months' old

2008-07-07T00:24:00.001-07:00

Chloe turned 7 months yesterday. And is a busy day for us and also very tiring day. As u know, Chloe has been sick since Monday, and till yesterday she has not getting better but with more phlegm in her throat. My mum was so worry cos she told me when my brother and me were babies, she brought us to the doc to suck out all the phlegm and is a very painful process and both of us were very xin ku. So she kept telling me to bring her to see the Thomson doc which she has her routined injections. I called Thomson from 8am till 9.15am then they picked up and told me Dr Keoy goes to Bishan branch on Sundays. My god. But no choice, waited impatiently for my parents to come back from market as the last appointment is at 10.30am and the time then was 9.30am. During the waiting time, suddenly I went to check my handphone and found I have a msg from my sister in law saying "Your stupid maid packed her things and said wanna go back to agent. She refused to work." I was like OH MY GOD, then quickly wake Mr up and he called to ask what happened. Immediately when my dad came back, then I shouted faster fetch Mr back then fetch me and Chloe go Bishan see doc, he was like HUH, in 45 mins time? And somemore my mum haven't come back from marketing, ended up Mr took a cab back. And we straight went to Bishan. And spent another $100 on her medical fees, total we actually spend like 200 over. Hope this time we spent money to ward off all the "evils" Haha. So Chloe no more sick next time!

After seeing doc, Mr, sister and mum in law wanted to go to agent already and so I met up with them there. I was waiting to see "show" haha.. The agent scolded the maid so loud, scary! And even pulled her shirt, say her stupid. Say wanted to break her legs to show her what is pain when she complained that her legs has been painful for 3 days which is actually muscle ache. Haiz. I dunno to feel sorry for her that she get scolded infront of so many people or .. Haiz..

The agent keep wanting her to go back with us to work one more month before the new maid comes, but she die die also dun wan to go back with us. She rather not take any salary and sit in the agency, maybe is a JIE TUO for her from being getting scolding everyday. Haha. So now no choice, no maid for 3 weeks until the new one comes.

The day really exciting and tiring man! And ended up no much photos taken on her 7 month! Till date, she still only know how to creep, sits independantly and able to eat solid foods, and always make her mouth like she wanted to eat whenever she sees anyone eating. Haha. Still waiting for her to go on fours and shuffle her bottoms. But how to when she only wants to be carried everyday! Aiyoyo!

At last Mr got his PS3!Now our home lacks of XBOX360 and DS! Lol!

Cheryl and Chloe during our dinner gathering.

Smile!

I eat biscuit cannot meh!

I want to eat and watch TV! Dun disturb!

I happily sitting here.. and...

Jiu Jiu just wanted to disturb me with this white creature!

My princess is sick.

2008-07-03T23:57:00.000-07:00

So tired. I had only a few hours of sleep these few days, as Chloe is sick, having fever and cold and cough since Monday. Poor girl. Monday Mr was also down with cough as well and so I told him to go see a doc then at the same time bring Chloe to see one as well. During days when Chloe gets sick, she will become real cranky and always wanted to be carried, even when we carried her to sit down, she will make noise, she just wanna walk around. Then on tues, she caught a fever of 37.8, and vomit after food due to cough, so me and Mr after work went home to bring her back to Dr Quek again. Doc mentioned that she got viral infection. Tues night was the worst, practically unable to sleep cos she couldn't stop crying. No choice, we have to take care of her. Then ended up, I was too tired to go to work, and took childcare leave to take care of her and to have some rest. But of cos, not able to have much rest, morning went to IMM to get her some "koolfever stickers", and chest rub and buy lunch back. The "stickers" do have some use, after a few hours after sticking the "sticker" on her head, it became warm. At night when Mr came home, Chloe's fever went up but she was fine during day time. I guess night time is always the time window when illness gets serious.

I began to surf the web to bring down the fever besides on medication. What I have learnt,
1)Never to put cold towel or bathe cold bath due to a sudden drop of body temperature will be bad for babies, instead they have to be bathed in warm water which will make them comfortable.
2)Drink more fluids. Use encalyptus oil in hot bath for babies to breathe in the essence to clear conjestion in flu and cough.
3)Baby fever is consider to be serious only after 38.9 and to seek a doc.
4)Both ears when using the ear thermometer will be different.

But anyway, mum gets really worried about Chloe's fever, and suggest us to bring her to NUH to see a doc. That time was close to 11pm when I decided to bring her to NUH, though abit reluctant but also want to know what's wrong with her since her fever reached 38.3. So off we go to NUH children's emergency. For the first time, I stepped into emergency ward. Luckily the children's side wasn't crowded, very soon is our turn. The environment looks very comfy, with pooh stickers, mickey mouse on doors. Hehe. During the initial checkup before seeing the doc, needs to check on her heartbeat, and the nurse wanted to give her a sticker and I told her Chloe likes Pooh Bear. And she purposedly go find the sticker. So sweet of her. LOL.

The doc who attended to Chloe is quite young. And he did thorough check for her. He typed very fast to take down her condition. He was expecting her to cry when trying to check her throat. But she did not, and she even smile and try to pull the doc's stethoscope. Haha. Dad always say her very brave and little chilli padi cos she is not scared of any doctors at all. Not even a cry or shout. Doc just said she had viral infection due to be infected by anyone in the family who is sick. Initially, I got scared wonder is it cos I brought her to swim and she caught her a cold. So I verify with the doc, and he said no, is just infected by a sick person in the family. Lucky. Cos I felt so bad after she got sick after I brought her to swim.

Till today, her fever has subside but cough still persists. But I know she will get well soon to pay off our hard efforts to take care of her.

Now I really know the hardship of being parents especially when their child is sick, parents will have to give their 100% tendering loving care to the child to make the child happy so that the child gets well very soon. Parents usually have to sacifice one or another for the child. This morning mum said now then you know parents not easy to be. Lol.

The sticker I been talking about, and lucky yesterday she started to smile abit. This morning I found that she has become skinner especially her face shrinked!

Chloe's first swim

2008-06-29T23:44:00.000-07:00

At last, on Saturday afternoon, having a nice weather, we brought Chloe for her first swim. So happy getting ready her new Baby Gap swimwear and sunblock lotion. Then off we went to HomeTeamNS clubhouse. Always like to go there for swim during my preggie days cos the place seldom packed with people. Even on Sats.

Reached there, we took off her pampers and change her swimwear. Then the security guard who was sitting there somehow like tell us have to wear pampers. So we put her on a new piece. Then suddenly again he came over said cannot wear pampers cos pampers have a substance that will spread hand foot mouth disease. Only can wear the Huggies Swim diapers. Then we have to take off her pampers again! Irritating, wear and take off. Even Chloe also thinking what we trying to do. Anyways, quickly we went into the water, quite warm, didn't feel any coldness on such a hot weather.

Chloe's first reaction was blur face. She didn't know how much surrounding her got so much water. But after a few seconds, she started to hit the water like she used to in the bathtub. Then we try to make her have a frog style pattern, when we try to make her face-down on the water, her legs naturally kicked up and she started to kick the water like swimming. Maybe this is what we called Babies know how to swim naturally as their original "environment" comes from a water bag! Towards the end, she smiled, really hope she enjoyed herself. We will try to bring her here every Sat. But she caught a cold maybe from the swim, so have to wait until she is fully recover before her next swim. If not, we buy those mini pool to put at home, but is like wastage of water just to fill up that mini pool and I find it no enjoyment at all. Lolz.

Photos time, taken at home before the swim and during swim. Not much taken during swim as I worry my camera is not water proof! Haha.. Maybe I should get the Olympic waterproof camera. :P

YO! I am a hip hop baby!

Hee.. can see my little tongue?

Hey come on! I am trying to read a book ok!

Fashion shoot for Mother & Baby magazine

2008-06-26T19:17:00.000-07:00

Waited for yesterday to come since last Friday, to go down to Mediacorp Publishing studio for Chloe's Summer Baby fashion shoot for Mother & Baby magazine.

Initally, keep praying that she will behave and hope everything goes smoothly. Luckily my prayers were answered. Generally, she was well-behaved and smile and laugh almost throughout the session except till the end she started to get cranky.

Before the photo shoot started, we have to dress her up, and the theme was Summer Baby, so I tot wow, can get to see Chloe wearing swim suit or those very little dressings, but who knows, she was dressed in long sleeves, layer after layer. That is why she started to get cranky cos babies don't like to change clothes so much as it has to put over their heads. Then we have to use toys and gave her water to drink to distract her. First set of clothes was OK as only 2 layers, but for the second set of clothes which consist of 3 layers really made her flare up and shout and cry. Hahaz. The lady was pretty and nice, and also have big eyes and they even comparing whose eyes bigger! Faintz. And the funniest part was I saw the baby who came before us, look like Chloe, and the lady said all 3 babies actually look alike! LOL.

I was proud of Chloe cos she can sit independantly for so long and finish the whole photo shoot. Only except losing balance once and lucky I managed to catch her! Lolz! She was happy and the photos turn out so nice. But I can only get the soft copies after the Aug issue is launched.

Really anxious for the magazine to launch to see how the whole effect was like for the 3 babies!

See how relaxed she is sitting on hair chair.

Her first kiddy ride after dim sum breakfast at Turf City.

In the car yesterday after the photo shoot.

Her new pumpkin patch hat and oldnavy dress.

HAH!!!

Look at her face reaction when she was blowed with wind from Daddy's mouth!
