Hello Kitty Sweets~

Yiyu got these for me from Taiwan =) Love the Hello kitty sweet case. Looks pretty cool right? (^_^)

Had a gathering at Yiyu's new love nest last Saturday together with Ben and Serene. Her new home is pretty cosy and comes complete with a games room!

Her glass door leading to the games room seriously make her house looks more spacious! Kinda envious that she can have her own little nest and wish that I can have mine soon too! Guess it just feels good to have your own home and I am seriously happy for her! :)

Did I mentioned that her doggie, toto, is mad cute?? Plus he's so guai! He didn't bark at all during the times we were there and this is very rare given that he is a small dog. Totally adorable!

BTO for Punggol had ended and I am praying and praying and praying.

God bless.

Phuket July 2010

I am back from my weekend getaway with Melly at Phuket!

I would say that it is certainly a relaxing trip as there isn't much activities for us other than sleeping, eating and drinking :)

We arrived late at night (11pm) and it's kinda scary and I won't anyone taking late night flights there (especially for girls). There were alot of touters at the airport and they are pretty aggressive. We braced through all the touting and went to the counter that wrote "Taxi Meter" and got onto a cab with a driver that we felt slightly more comfortable with.

We were totally anxious during the ride and it's real late and the road were literally empty with little street lights. We were super happy that we bought a bottle of wine at DFS cause if anything happens, we still can hit the person with the bottle. Hahahha..kua zhang right? But it is that scary.

Finally arrived at the hotel at 12 midnight :)

The room is pretty decent (which is very important to me) and I am glad that I chose this hotel as it has its own shopping mall connected to it.

Day 1: The barely awake face

Don't we look 5 years younger? Hahaha!

The shopping area filled with restaurants and bars and our hangout for the entire trip

Le Siam - Authentic Fine Thai Cuisine

Tasteless Pineapple Rice

The food here was so bad that I can't even bring myself to take pictures of the green curry and tom yam soup after tasting the above. It's the start of our food misery :(

We went to Wine connection for some western food for dinner (we had the above thai food at 530pm and barely touched it :( ) at 7pm.

The carbonara tasted a little different from what we normally had in Singapore, but still edible.

Garlic bread with chesse

Tasteless hawaiian pizza

Creme brulee

Apple Crumble

Decent wine

Day 2

It's a beach day! (basically Melly just wanna say "HI" to the beach ;p We were there for less than 5 minutes.

Evidence of us being at the beach ;p

Are you able to spot the very disgusting muddy brown sea? I am seriously disgusted by it.

Phuket today is very very different from what others had said years ago. Food was bad (seriously bad) and can't be compared to the ones in BKK at all! To think that I was all excited about Thai Food before I arrived. Service was really bad as well (probably only one or 2 restaurants have decent service) and lastly, even the sea is bad!

Gone were the days where Phuket had deep blue sea. The sea is only blue near the horizon. From the shore to the far far end, the sea is brown. Muddy brown. How gross can that be?!?!? The air near Patong beach smelt like some seriously stinky toilet or rubbish dump and I seriously can't understand how some people can eat n drink at the restaurants with the stinky air.

After we left the beach, we head to Haagen Dazs to grab some yummy ice-cream to cheer ourselves up and also to hid from the stinky air.

Mine!

Melly's!

We were so upset with the food and air outside and hence, we ordered room service for the last night ( I am a sucker for room service! Hahha)

Well, it is edible though not very nice. But it is cheap! only 700 baht for these :)

We ended our last afternoon with Chang beer. Always wanted to try it and it taste quite good and it's very light :) It's almost as if drinking a soft drink with a light beer taste and it's very smooth.

Guess this is truly a trip just to recharge (we were sleeping 65% of the time) and seriously, this kind of trip, once a year or once every 2 years is enough.

My next trip must be a shopping trip! If not must be somewhere with NICE food!

 

My Little Godson (^_^)

Today is a long and tiring day.

Went over to Sharon's place for dinner and played with Jayden :) One thing I love about boys are that they are super fun to play with! Jayden, being super hyper and happy (he always does whenever I went over for a visit ^^ ), we played like crazy :)

I am truly amazed by the rate that toddlers picked up things nowadays. Just late last year, Jayden was enrolled into a nursery and at that point of time, he could barely speak proper words. He will always mumble baby languages which only babies understand but now, he is able to speak to me in long sentences, tells me alot of things, able to narate what is in the storybooks, asked me to go to church (Yes he truly did! Even Jayden is reminding me, guess I must be diligent and visit the church more frequently^^), and remember what games I have on my iphone and able to find them and play by himself.

Isn't all that amazing? I know toddlers nowadays pick up things real fast but still, it warms my heart when he is telling me 'stories' from his storybooks, remember what I played with him and what I taught him. It's especially sweet especially when I experience it first hand :)

Jayden was sitting between Sharon and me when he was playing games on my iphone and he suddenly stood up and hug both of us! How sweet is that? Hence, I started to take pictures :)

Take picture must have a cute pose

Let's all SMILE :D

Kiss for Godma <3

Kiss for Mummy! Love this pic! So sweet! <3

Face squashing part 1. Jayden still smiling :)

Face squashing part 2.

It totally look as if both Godma and Mummy trying to squeeze into the small camera lens and hence the reason for Jayden's face looking so squashed right??

But, we are INNOCENT! Hahhaha! Jayden thinks it's fun to be squashed together and hug us REAL tight when taking pictures! So much so that he didn't realise that his face is so squashed by us that he can't exactly smile properly anymore! Hahahha! Coincidentally, me and Sharon has that "Yeah" handsign which makes people think that we are feeling real proud for squashing his face!

We are truly innocent k! Hahhahaha!

My little godson certainly brightens my day today <3

Updates for BB

I will update my blog more diligently so BB can update himself on my thoughts and the little details that's happening during the times he is away :)

Nothing much happened over the weekend. Went over to Mdm Boo's place on Saturday and stayed for the night. I personally think that preggie mummys are amazing. Firstly, I can see that her tummy had grown over the past one week and her appetite is seriously, good (No wonder my darling nephew is developing so well :D ).

Now Mdm Boo is at a stage where she will start to have cravings for things that she doesn't usually fancy and through her change in preference of food, we are more affirm on the gender of the baby :) My little nephew is just like the dad. He lovesssssssssss burgers and western food and beef! Omgoodness! Hhaaha..

Mdm Boo, being a "chee-na" who needs rice, currently won't feel satisfied after her normal meals with rice. Hahhaa.. It's like a battle within yourself on what you wanna eat! It's frustrating and yet hilarious at the same time! Guess Mdm Boo will start eating beef in no time. Hahhahaha!

I was telling BB about it and he was laughing away as well. Can tell that he's as excited as me (maybe I am more excited ;p) with regards to my little nephew! :D BB is having his next portcall when I get back from Phuket next week! Now time seems to pass faster and we will count down to his every portcall together and he'll be back in no time! 4 more portcalls to come and between every portcall, it will be an average of 18 days interval.  95 days to go.

I decided not to drive to work today (sorry for the digression) as I am very lazy in finding a parking space in a carpark plus all the jams I have to face on the long journey back home. After driving for a while, all my enthusium for driving had gone with the wind. Hahhaa..now I can understand why BB is so tired at times for driving around the whole day. I will be more understanding in future but still, he gotta drive me around when he is back ;p

Kids nowadays seriously need to flip more fashion magazines. On the train, I saw this young girl who is wearing a long t-shirt (nearly touching her knees), black leggings, converse-like sneakers with colorful shoelaces and SOCKS. Socks meaning those socks that kids wear to school but hers is with ribbons. Her friends should probably ask her to take out her socks and she will look better. When I reach Tiong Bahru, I saw this xiao meimei and I can't help but to comment on her dressing. Firstly, I couldn't see her waist anywhere despite her wearing a high-waisted skirt and her entire outfit makes her look like a log! She was pairing this white t-shirt with a red high-waist skirt, and c'mon, national day is still a month away!

Fashion tip of the day. DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR FLAWS. Hide it intelligently. If you do not have a waist (or you couldn't exactly determine which part is your waist), do not attempt to wear a high-waist skirt and worst still, pair it with a slouchy t-shirt! I will advise her to wear a nice column dress and pair it with flats or heels and she will look as if she has a waist! Alternatively, she might wanna consider wearing a normal top/t-shirt with a nice trapeze mini skirt :)

That's all for now and will update again soon!

Blessed!!

Just when I was scolding myself and telling myself that I deserve the mad "after office hours" crowd at the train station(Yes, I'm taking a train home as there is Zero cab in sight n I gotta wait in the rain for a freaking cab) and being drenched in the rain for not driving to work today,I guess I am truly blessed :)

When I arrived at the platform, the previous train just left and it's packed to the max. So packed that you might be able to see some faces being "pasted" on the windows of the door. One minute later, an EMPTY train arrived and initially, I thought it's not for boarding but it Is!

An empty train with no mad rush of seats! I am wondering if they had the schedule wrong as they were announcing Tampines and Simei stations subsequently even though it is traveling towards Jurong.

Sitted happily in the train now and I guess I am truly blessed today :)

Time waits for no man

Time flies.

At the blink of an eye, BB had his first port call at Oman. Tomorrow is the 3rd weekend without BB and I am slowly getting used to just chatting with him on the phone everyday (Thank God for that) and updating him on what's happening everyday.

When he first set sail, I can't imagine how I can survive the 4 long months but time seriously waits for no man. Time will passes just as fast regardless of one's emotion. Can't wait for him to be back! I will pick him up on 8th October and follow by a seafood buffet! <3

When BB is back, Mdm Boo's tummy will be very very big le! Yes, my Mdm Boo is preggie!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Tentatively, it's a boy! A 'manly' boy indeed! Hahhahha! So so so excited about my little nephew and he will be a Christmas baby! (his middle name will be "Christmas"!) My first little nephew and I am sure he will be a super uber duper cutie boy (cause he will look like me!是帅的咯！Don't doubt it! Wahahahhaah!)!

The only downside for having a baby boy is that there isn't a lot of pretty clothes to buy. Boys' clothings are soooooo boring :( Basically, it just consists of shirt, t-shirts, shorts n pants. Unlike having a baby girl whereby there are a zillion choices and it's all super pretty! But, it's good for Mdm Boo also la..if not she will literally bring home almost the entire collection of Baby Ralph Lauren and Baby Guess, not to mentioned the rest of the brands that carries pretty baby clothings.

Awwwww..So happy thinking that I can see my little nephew in 5 month's time!

Can't wait for year end to arrive! Good things will be happening! :D

Happy Birthday BB!

HAPPY  BIRTHDAY BB!!!!!

Though I knew that you wont be able to see this post till donkey months later, but still I wanna wish you

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY!

You had been away for 10 days and I miss u much! Can't wait for you to be back :(

Back to BB's early birthday celebration.

I design a cake for him!

Only after I tried designing a cake, then I realised how difficult it is! Especially the letterings! (Then I realised BB is talented as the wordings he wrote at the side of my cake looks damm neat, well written and nicely space-out!) It is so damm difficult to craft out what's in your mind! I tried to draw a flower at my very first try, and the 'flower' just look like a pile of cream and I was so desperate that I actually asked the bakers if they could help!

Well, they don't. !@#%^&amp;*

So I was left struggling for half an hour before I am able to get the whole cake looking like a cake. I wanted to draw little hearts at the top of the cake but I failed, and that explains why it's a whole pile of red jam at the top. Hhahahaha!

We went to Hog's breath(Robertson Walk) for dinner.

Seriously, I don't like the food but I think the service is good (other than the chinese waitress who took our orders initially) and I think it makes a better place for chilling out than having dinner.

My happy BB with his pressies! (Please pardon the wrinkles. He's old. Hhahaha!)

Yes, I bought him a bear and it's a voice recordable bear that he brought along on his trip ^^

After dinner, we went over to sharon's place for cake cutting session :)

I wish everything will go well for the trip

I wish my baobei will be happy, cheerful, pretty & blissful always

I wish I will strike toto tonight. Hahahha!

BB & Jayden blowing the candle :) Jayden's so excited!

After distributing the cake, BB had a new found love.

Saw the little 'ball' in his hands?

It's Jayden's toy and BB loved it so much that he secretly hid it away and play in a corner so Jayden wont sees it! OMG lor..Hahhahaha!

The 'ball' is actually quite interesting. It is a reversible ball! When you throw it into the air and spin it at the same time, when the 'ball' touches the ground, it will turn into the color which is in the inner part of the ball before you spin it.

BB is so intricate by it and kept playing with it.

Men are men after all. They will be fascinated with this kind of things and will let themselves be entertained by it for a long long time :)
