Future Soccer player

Sunday, May 31, 2009

This morning, deardear and I brought Caden to pray at the Kwan Yin Temple at Joo Chiat. Then we packet out breakfast and lunch back...

When we came back, I remembered we promised Caden to bring him to the slide this morning. So I went home with Tita while deardear and Caden stay at the playground. Then I brought the small soccer ball down for them to play.. He really enjoyed playing ball.. kicked, throw the ball.. he even fell down.. Luckily on the grass so not painful.. But as concern and hygiene mum, I immediately took out the Pigeon hand and mouth wipes to clean his hands...

I haveto admit my boy really loves soccer ball like his papa... So no choice.. I will allow him to be future soccer player (during free time).. Haha..

牛弟弟

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Today is birthday of 牛弟弟 - Caleb Leong (Chloe's little brother). My cousin-in-law gave birth to Caleb today at KK at around 4 pm. He will be Caden's 牛弟弟.

I went to visit her and the baby after work. He is so cute... did not really dare to carry him as he is so small... He is about 3.2kg and 49 cm long. Looking forward to bring Caden to see Caleb on Caleb's 1st month celebration.. Dunno how my naughty boy will react.. hehe...

Mama's new Haircut

I decided to do a change to my usual hair style... So went to my hairstylist after work and ask him to style a new hair style for me... I was in the salon for 2 hours because I did not dare to make the change in the beginning until my hairstylist tried ways and means to convinced me...

Finally, I walked out of the hair salon with a new haircut... Not used to it... but hope that its not that bad after all... Haha...

When I arrived school today, everyone asked me about my new haircut... I have varied comments from both teachers and students... My form class asked if I am Mrs Teo... some said the haircut dun suit me, I look funny, I look older, I look ugly... Some said it made me look younger, nicer than before... It really created so much sensation.. Think it became the talk of the school... Haha..

Just hope that the commotion will fade off by tomorrow... Haha..

Caden's 15th Month Bday

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Today is Caden's 15th month birthday but deardear is on reservist.. Luckily, he is able to come out for a short while... He has to help his camp mates to buy can foods for their outfield tomolo... As a result, he is allowed to come out for 4 hours...

We made use of the 4 hours to celebrate Caden's 15th month bday... Deardear arrived home at 6pm and I had prepared Caden by bathing him and dressing him up. We immediately set off to Bugis for dinner... Had a simple dinner as little family of 3 at Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao Restaurant. Then at 7 plus, we had to go home... as deardear had to go Sheng Siong to buy all the food that his camp mates needed. As a family, we went to Sheng Siong and did some shopping on our own too..

At 8.30pm, deardear had to wait for Eugene to come pick him up... Though deardear was back for a short while, I can see that Caden really enjoyed the night out... And its the effort that counts... Deardear volunteered his service to buy can food for his camp mates so he can come back to see us... Thanks deardear...

This time, we did not take any pic as we were rushing like crazy.. haha..

Shan Ah Yee's Birthday

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Today is Shan Ah Yee's birthday. As her good friends, we decided to give her a treat at Kuishin Bo at Suntec.

In the morning, deardear and I woke up feeling very refreshed as Caden slept with us till 9am.. Haha.. Deardear came home last night from his reservist feeling very tired... Said that his ippt almost killed him.. Maybe too fat liao.. haha.. We went out for dinner at Parkway Parade and shopped around for household stuff. Then went back home at 9 plus. After Caden fell asleep, we spent the remaining night having our couple time together...

In the afternoon, we brought Caden back to my mum's place so that he can have his LNT lesson in the evening.

After Caden's lesson, we brought Caden to Suntec to meet up with my best friends. They were already there when we arrived. We had a 2-hours buffet there... Enjoy my dinner with my best friends and my little family of 3... After the buffet, we did some shopping at Carrefour as deardear need to do some shopping for his outfield this coming week.. Poor deardear.. Can sense his frustration and reluctance when he was shopping. I know he hated his reservist period.. Somemore outfield for a few days... without coming home...

Anyway, deardear dun think too much and be happy... Caden and I will be waiting for you at home...

Girls Night Out...

Saturday, May 23, 2009

For the first time in so many years that I have the girls night out with my best friends. Last night, I left home at 8.30pm to meet up with all my buddies at Clarke Quay for a drink... Its a great catching up with each other... I feel young again... Get to drink my fav Baileys again... Maybe I have not drank for a long time, thus was blushing red after a few slips... At around 1 plus, we took a cab back home...

Reflection:
1. felt guilty to leave my precious at home when I went out for gathering with my girlfriends.
2. however, its a refreshing break for me...
3. So should have more of such getaways...
4. But, I do not know if I can feel less guilty the next time round...
5. Indeed, I misses my son a lot when I was out the whole night...

Stay Home Saturday

Saturday, May 16, 2009

Today is a stay home saturday as all of us are down... Deardear and I spent our whole day doing work.. Me doing marking and deardear packing for his army uses.. He is going for his reservist duties on this coming Monday... Then we spent the late afternoon and night watching X-men.. Its a sudden interest aroused after watching 'Wolverine - the origin' last sun with deardear at the Filmgarde @ Iluma.

Actually I was tempted to bring Caden out but I was really not feeling too well.. According to my mum, maybe I need to take my iron pills as I looked very weak... Maybe my body is fighting the virus and is unable to take it... Asked deardear to bring him down for a walk. However, my precious refused to go without me... Insisted that I carry him and go with them.. Thus, we ended up not going anywhere.. Haha...

Will bring him for a morning walk tomolo at the market then.. hehe... Silly boy...

Deardear on MC the whole day and I am down with FLU too

Friday, May 15, 2009

Today I am down with flu... Guess I have gotten it from deardear.. Heard that Tita is sick too.. I went to see doc immediately after school whereas deardear went to see his doc in the morning and he is given 2 days MC... So he will not be able to go for his road march.. Guess the doc scared that he will passed the virus to others as its an influenza... As for me, the doc wanna give me MC but I told him I have gone to work in the morning.. Haha..

So we went back to Eunos in the late afternoon as my dad is able to drive us back... All of us except Caden are wearing masks.. As I am afraid that Tita will get worse, I insisted that she go see the doc at our place downstairs.. Lucky hers is a mild case...

Spent the whole evening and night at home as all of us are down with flu...

Post Mother's Day celebration

I am not working today as its holiday in lieu for Vesak Day. As a result, deardear also took his Off in Lieu to company his little family out as a post mother's day celebration.

However, as it was raining very heavily, deardear had to come home first to pick us up. Then we took a cab to Meritus Mandarin - the hotel where deardear and I held our wedding lunch on 3rd Dec 2006. Then we took a lift up to the 35th storey - Pine Court Restaurant. Deardear checked out that there is a cheap dim sum buffet at Pine Court on weekdays. $16.80 ++ per pax. We almost had a heart attack when they said that there is no more vacancies as we did not make any booking. Luckily, deardear insisted that the waitress try to arrange. Finally we gotten a table near the window.. Wah... Window seat...

Gosh.. The food is fabulous.. We have ordered for more than 15 different dishes of dim sum. Some are special and some are exquisite. The service is fabulous too. We really enjoyed ourselves during lunch though we have a noisy baby who keeps asking for 'mum mum'.

After lunch, we shopped around Taka and took a bus home as our precious is really tired... Moreover, he has to prepare himself for a second round of makan session in the evening as we are going to United Sq - tang dian wang to celebrate my dad's birthday.

Happy Happy Happy Mothers' Day 2009

Sunday, May 10, 2009

10th of May, it’s Mothers’ Day today. Happy “Ma Ma” Day, dear dear, I will handle the post today, even though you told me to do so, because I just wanted to dedicate today’s post to you.
Well, firstly, let me just update what happened yesterday, we had dinner at the new Suki Sushi Japanese Restaurant at Singapore Post Center with dear’s parents.

At eunos mrt station

image

God, we ordered so much food! We had Tempura Ramen, Teriyaki Chicken Ramen, Teriyaki Chicken Katsu Don, Curry Mix Fried, Tofu, Fried Chicken, Sushi and more Sushi. We were exceptionally full after the meal. Food was pretty good and it’s pretty cheap, 72 bucks for the 6 of us. But what matters most is having meal as a family and enjoying it.

After lunch we proceeded to NTUC to buy some groceries, bought my favorite Yogurt Drink and Yakult for Dear Dear. And as I was paying for the things, Dear Dear noticed these cute fake flowers selling at the cashier counter and suggested buying one for her mum, Tita and also herself. And I proceeded to do so. Dear presented the flower to her mum after which, but her response was quite normal, probably she was more concerned about Caden, as he was drinking milk during that time.

After Caden finished his milk, we headed to the MRT station to catch our ride back home. Parents-in-Law went home instead of staying over at our place as Dear’s Dad need to work early today and need a good sleep.

Once we reached Eunos MRT station, Caden presented Tita the flower. Of course, Tita was quite surprise and happy to receive the flower. When we reached home, we passed the flower back to Caden to offer to Dear Dear, though he already done so earlier before his milk as we wanted to take photo of him doing so.

I also made Caden write his name of the card that was attached to the flower.

We managed to take a few nice photos although he is more interested in playing in his new play pan.


imageWell speaking of flowers, I have actually ordered a small bouquet of flower for Dear Dear. It also has a bear attached to it. It is a surprise and will be coming at 10am tomorrow. Dear Dear is sleeping now and has totally no idea about it. Hehehe.. hope she will like it. Monday I am taking leave to company Dear Dear and Caden. It’s holiday in lieu for Vesak Day for her. I am planning to bring my princess to Meritus Mandarin, the place where our wedding was hosted, to have a Dim Sum buffet at Pine Court, and perhaps a walk at Paragon.

Lastly, I have come to the last paragraph of this post. Just want to say Thanks Dear, for being such a wonderful mum to our little prince. You have dedicated all your time and effort to our naughty boy. Your lost of sleep to give care, your love and your tears is all for because of him. You sacrifice selflessly for him. When we go out, you only think of shopping for him rather than yourself. When we leave home, you miss him tremendously. You cheer up when he smile at you after a bad day at work.That’s your ultimate love for Caden. And of course, Caden feels your love fully. You’re the first he calls when he needs help, attention and comfort. He only wants to cling on to you when we want to take him away from you. And not to forget, when he was just a few weeks old, he has known how to call MAMA. You have really changed and sacrifice a lot for Caden. Therefore, Happy Ma Ma Day to you Dear. You truly deserve this day. And certainly, today is not the only special day for you. Everyday’s a special day for you from Caden and Me. Just that today, it’s more special. Muaks Muaks. Den Den and me will bring more smiles to your life every day. We shall always be a HAPPY FAMILY!

Happy 63rd Monthiversary

Early Celebration of our Monthiversary

Wednesday, May 6, 2009


Decided to celebrate our monthiversary today... Brought Caden to BHG as we would like to check out on some things at BHG and then we proceeded to Ajisen Ramen for dinner...

At Ajisen, our naughty boy kept interrupting our dinner by saying "mum mum" non stop. Have to keep feeding him part of our dinner and entertaining him with deardear's iphone.. Really a greedy boy... Sigh...

After 'peaceless' dinner, we walked around Parco and bought some body scrubs - one for Yip and one for me. Then we also bought the DVD of 'xi shi' and also the latest version of Young Parent magazine.

At around 9.20pm, we have to bring Caden back as he seems sleepy... What a celebration...

Meeting up with Aunt Milyn

Saturday, May 2, 2009

Met up with my friend, Milyn, who came back from Australia for a short visit. All my friends decided to have lunch at Zhou Zhuang at Novena Sq.

Deardear and I saw that the weather is quite cooling in the afternoon today so we decided to bring Caden out to meet Aunt Milyn. During our lunch meeting, Caden was a little cranky. Maybe he is tired and want to sleep. So I brought him in and out of the room whenever we are waiting for the next dish to be served.. Sad to say, my maid is still lack of initiative as ever... Deardear had to come out to help me. As for her, she just sit inside the room to eat with my friends... Really dunno what to say about her.. Anyway, as long as I no need to worry when I am not at home during the day and she can teach Caden to read books, I am still ok with her.

Immediately after the lunch, I brought Caden back. Milyn was quite sad as I can only stay for a while and we did not really have time to catch up. She requested to take pic with him. However, the naughty boy refused to be carried by her... He cried when she carried him and insisted that I carry him so the three of us have to take pic together. However, after she offered him some sweets, he allowed her to carry him for a while... What a greedy and silly boy.. Haha..

After we reached home, the naughty boy slept all the way from 3pm to 6pm.. Guess he was really tired so he was so cranky...

Labour Day 2009

Friday, May 1, 2009

Today is Labour Day.. Actually, my whole family planned to have a family gathering at East Coast Beach. However, with Caden and Chloe falling sick, the whole gathering is cancelled.. So its good for me too as I can rest at home the whole day after yesterday's long work... According to Doc Ong, we have to ground Caden for the weekend and observe him. If he did not get better by monday, we will have to rent the nebaliser machine back...

After observing him for the whole of today at home, I noticed he has coughed lesser yet I can still hear the phlegm in his throat... Worrying... Let's hope he will get better by monday. Its a long weekend for us to spend more time with Caden and taking care of him... Though we have no chance of going out to shop or have some outdoor activities, as long as I can spend my time with my precious and hubby, I am happy... But we did sneak out with my mum to Paya Lebar to buy our dinner.. hehe..

What a labour day...
