Went to view a few units of 4-room flats at woodlands today... most of them are quite new, less than 10yrs old. There was this 1 particular unit which I think both hubby and I liked alot. This flat is around 6yrs old, with dropped down windows. But the best of it is, it's 104sqm!! It's not really asking for alot of cash, 30k. But to us, the cash value is still abit too steep for us.. =(


Was really feeling quite depressed these few days when I think about my life. I think I really want too much in my life. No doubt I have a happy little family, cute & lovable Istelle whom everyone dotes on, and a hubby who loves me with whole of his life. But I am still not satisfied. There are simply too many things which I want.. Shall not go into the details... Just try to be more optimistic and pin all hopes on Istelle.


ANyway, on the brighter side, wanted to bring Istelle for a swim this morning but in the end we did not get to go due to the rain. Understandable, as it's the monsoon season now. Hopefully will get to swim next Sunday. Will ask S&S&S along. ^_^

My Sweet Lil Darling

~sO mAnY tHinGs tO bLoG~


I have so many things which I wanna blog out, but I am so lazy to. Everytime I wanna blog, I'll be lazy t on my lappie, so I'll keep procastinating. By the time I'm ready to blog, I realized that I've missed so many occasions and events.. Anyway, let me just start with what I can remember. The most recent events...

~*~24th Nov 2007~*~

It's Carmen's big day today. Attended her wedding banquet at M Hotel. I must say, it's true that woman is the prettiest on their big day. Hub & I brought Istelle to the banquet. It's really an experience. I do not know if it's the environment, the crowd of the noise. Darling is so grouchy that day. SHe kept crying & crying. Esp during the toasting part. I believe it must be the sudden loud noise which scared her. Saddest part is, she doesn't want Daddy to carry her.. Hence I have to keep carrying her, outta the ballroom to coax her, and back in again after she felt better.

My arms were practically trembling during my MJ session with Ron, Jiaxian and Hub that nite..


Our little family with the pretty bride


























~*~01st Dec 2007~*~

It's my ex co's D&D, but sad to say, I had to work on OT on that day, due to our HQ month end closing. I actually booked my hair appointment with 'Salon4Hair' at 5pm. But in the end, I only manged to turn up at 6pm. Wanted to tong my hair, but due to time constraint, I ended up setting my hair, which did not turn out to be what I want. And I spent a hefty $49 on it.

Proceeded to Inouvi for my make up after that. The malay lady who was helping me with my make up is good. But as I was rushing for time (It was already near to 8pm), another of her colleague helped me with the fake eyelash. I think her skills is really bad. She's not even able to help others put on a proper eyelash. My eyelash actually started to come off bit by bit about 3/4 through my dinner. In the end, I was so frustrated that I went to the toilet to remove both my eyelashes! I paid $42 for that make up.. =(

ANyway, the theme was Oscar Nite.. was quite enjoyable, esp the games where the Mcee get ppl up on stage and 'sabo' them. Actually I quite miss my ex colleagues. I felt that I am not really a part of them this year. I joined as an outsider, and I do feel abit outta place. But nonetheless, it felt so nice to be able to see so many of the familiar faces once again...



















~*~03rd Dec 2007~*~

THis is the most important event for this year. THis day marks Hubby and Mine 1st wedding Anniversary...^_^


We were supposed to dine out, but I actually already had plans to cook for hubby. Being married to him for 1 yr, this is the 1st time that I actually cooked a meal for him. THanks to Ah Yi for her ideas. I totally had no idea what to cook at 1st. So she guided me along to western food. Hehe. And reminded me to add veges, soup etc, to make the dinner a full course dinner! haha!! And of course, being the good girl, I heed her advise. =p


Applied for leave on this day, but lied to Hub in that I am too tired to go work and will take MC. Hehe. Hubby was taken in.. Lalala~ It was definitely a busy day for me afterwards. Wakey at 8+am and went to the market. After that, went to westmall. Actually wanted to buy cookery set and utensils, but realized that Westmall does not have what I want at all. And since HUbby is buying lunch back, I actually have to rush home at ard 12pm whenI only reach there about 11am. But at least, I got what I needed to prepare his pressie.


Asked Hub to send me to IMM after our lunch. Lied to him that I am very bored, so wanna go take a walk. Hehe!! I was rushing like mad. Went to GIANT and grab the cookery set, utensils, wine glass, not forgetting the wine. Just these few items cost me S$113+.. -_-" ANyway, took cab home and started DIY hubby's pressie. And guess what???


I was halfway through the pressie when Hub came home AGAIN!!! I was so shocked!!


Me : You come home for what


Hub : You are making present for me ah?


Me : Ya la.!


Hub : Ok, then I leave lor.


Me : OK!


Hub : Serious arh??


Me : Ya, Bye~


Haha!! So poor hubby, did not even get to step into the hse. Haha!! Started cooking dinner at ard 5pm, and finish the cooking and setup at 7+pm. GOsh! Preparing a simple dinner is so time consuming and tiring. ANyway.. Hub was surprised. Hehe. Cuz he already expected a pressie, but not a dinner from ME!!!
It's funny to eat off a MJ table, wrapped with wrapping paper. (I did not buy a table cloth, and my MIL does not have a table cloth at home). but all in all, we had a romantic, sweet & loving candlelit dinner, prepared with love by yours truly. heee....

~*~04th Dec 2o07~*~

Met up with Ah yi, Sarah & Ron at westmall. ROn told me that she'll be quite late,hence the 3 of us proceed with dinner at KFC 1st. THe lady serving us was sooooo...... TOld her we wanted 2 chicken thighs, 1 wing & 1 drum. She said she do not have wing, hence I opted for another Drum. but we ended up with 1 drum, 1 wing and 2 breast!!! Humph!! I do not like chicken breast!! Conclusion, I did not enjoy my dinner.

As usual, went to Osmose with the STM ladies. Sarah bought skirt for her presention, Yi bought a very sweet top (SHe said it makes her shoulders look heavy, but both Sarah & I tot that it looks lovely on her) and a fuschia pink dress!! OMG! It's a really nice dress! As for me, I wanted to save $$ but finally gave in after the 2 STM ladies' excellent 口才(Excuse la, actually I myself quite like that dress too la, HAHA!) I bought the same dress as Yi, but in black.

After that Sarah has to rush back to acc her Hubby Seng, leaving only the 3 of us, Me,Yi & ROn to talk & discuss about some small biz plan. Well..Seems feasible as of now, but the tedious part has yet to come. Need to source for suppliers and get quotation.. Hopefully we'll be able to get a headstart soon. Left for move at 9.30pm, and I read from Yi's blog that she & ROn chatted till 11pm!!! Surprised! haha! SO many things to say ah? But oso good la. 1 fine day, ROn is gonna be a member of our '38 STM club'. Free membership, but terms and conditions apply.

Been so long since I last catch a movie. Watched 'Enchanted' with HUb. I tot it was a cartoon at 1st (Did not read up on the review nor watch the trailer) but was surprised with the twist. Haha! A good 1. Clever Kain and Ron, knew that I'd love this kinda show. Yes, Indeed, I loved it to the core. hahA!! And I love it cause I watched it with my hubby, a romantic fairytale love story.

Whew! Congratulations on myself, for completing the series of events which happened within this 1 week. Now, I can finally join HUbby. He's already deep in dreamland. good nitezz....zz.z..z

~2nd Nov, mY roMaNtIc HuB~

I had a small argument with Hubby today. well, not really considered as an argument, but more of like, Hub talked to me in a harsh and unfriendly tone this morning.

He scolded me for taking my own sweet time every morning instead of helping with all the little little chores before we leave for work.

I understand that he's very tired, because for the whole of this week, Hub has been coaxing Istelle to bed, waking up in the wee hrs to feed her milk and change her diapers. And when he finally wakey to prepare for work, he still have to clean up Qcie's wee wee & poo poo.. As a wife, I think I have not really played my part well. But still, he should talk to me nicely right.

Throughout the journey to work, we did not exchanged any words.No conversation. Make my Friday such a moody 1. I complained to Ah Fat Ah Yi in MSN. Nancy also offered consolation & words of advise. After a while, I decided to give in and sms Hub, saying that he hurt me..

But guess what?

No reply from him. =(

Then he called and ask me to meet him outside my office. HUb had bought me my favourite 雷茶 from bukit view. hehe. BUt this is not all.. take a look at the pics of my lunch below and you will know how touched I am..

Hub apologize though it's not his fault. I must say that actually I m the 1 at fault. Hehe.. But still, I really appreciate HUbby's thoughtfulness. I am so so so lucky to have such a loving Hub. the best Hubby in the whole wide world!!!

~Saturday, 13th Oct~

Went to Dragonfly with the babes as mentioned in my prev post. Have to say, it's really an eye opener, as I saw an aunty around the age of 50+ ~60+, dancing happily to the music, with another aunty of around 40+.. I have already heard that there are many aunties and uncles at DF, but never ever did I expect to really see soooo many of them!

NEver expect to meet anyone I know, but I actually met Ken. ANd he said something which made me so happy and so high! He said that my figure ain't like someone who just gave birth. haha! But I have to confess, my tummy is still flabby. =( ANyway, DF ain't really my kinda club. Yes, I do like liveband, but not cantopop/mandopop, hence DF is outta my clubbing list.

Went to Movida next and I shall say, it's a nice place. THey were playing Latin songs by the time we shifted over but we the babes, sure enjoyed ourselves alot. Monkeying around. haha! Silly Sarah did a duck dance, tickling Sharon and I to join in and make a fool of ourselves. All in all, I really quite enjoy myself. I shall say, it's the crowd you are with. ^_*



~Friday, 19th Oct~

It's my co's monthly team building day. We get to knock off early at 2.30pm. Was really surprised when I get to know of our event for this month. Waterski at ECP, and even more shocking when I know that it was our GM who suggested this activity.

We reach ECP, changed into our attire and went for a briefing by the instructor. Was told that those who are not confident or do not know how to swim had better give up the intention to ski as the jacket we are wearing is not a lifevest, but a vest to reduce the impact on us when we fall into the water. It has only very limited ability to keep you afloat. He made this whole activity sound so dangerous, that my GM decided to abort the idea of trying as he does not know how to swim.

We have 2 options to choose from, and being a beginner cum 1st timer, I opted for the kneelboard, which is the easiest. The board seems to be going at a normal speed when you look at it. However when you tried it, you will realized that you are actually being pulled at quite a fast speed. Utilized alot of the strength in my arms, so much that my whole body is aching even up till now, Sunday!

Went for blading after skiing. Very nice feeling as I have not bladed for 1 whole yr. Did not blade far though as I was with Karen, who was learning how to blade. Quite good for a beginner though I must say. But I must complain, she left bruises on my wrist. haha!! Went for Korean BBQ for our dinner. Drank 15 glasses of Soju and I guess I need not say much as to what happened later. Became a drunken cat. =x

~rEcAp~

I haven't been blogging for quite awhile.. Guess I'm pretty tired to log on these few days. Had quite a busy and handful week last last week.. Going out and looking after Istelle.

As my MIL took leave last wed and Thurs, HUb and I fetched Istelle home on Wednesday nite. And since I had my replacement holiday on MOnday, we only send Istelle to my mum on Mon. Which means Istelle was at home with us for near to 1 whole week. Well, tired, but nice to be able to see her when I reach home every day. Haha!

But I am a notty mummy, never spent much time with her last week. Briefly, went orchard with Sarah, Sooyi, Kareen and Sherolyn on Thursday, took half day leave on Friday for my SNEC eye checkup, went to St.James on Saturday with the gers again(Sooyi, Sarah, Kareen, Daphne, Sharon), and Sunday went to Shijie's place for majong and dinner.Those present include Alex, Da, Sharon & Jiaxian. haha!! Monday went back to mum's place in the afternoon, and I just slept throughout with my little darling beside me! Hehe. Mummy & Baby Piggy.

Anyway.. BLog more again.. Back to work~

~Piggy Test~


Am @ werk now and no, I am not free like the 2 previous months. I just wanna post the result of a piggy test which Ah Fat Ah Yi sent me just now. hehe. If you are interested, you can find the test here.

My Result as followS! ^^

~nIcE tHuRsDaY~

To begin with, I had a good start today.. I went Mac for breakfast with Hubby. ^_^ Been long since I have a decent breakfast with Hub, which is why I really feel so happy today, HEHE.. Anyway, I don't normally eat Big Breakfast because I think that it is no different from having a egg mcmuffin burger. Just pile everything together and bite. But I remembered that day went I went KTV with Sarah, Sooyi & Daphne, they actually taught me how to enjoy a Big Breakfast, which is to eat the bread, chicken patty and egg separately. Haha! Tried it out this morning. Not bad. I indeed enjoyed it more. Thanks gers~

I bought the white heels from URS which I have been longing for. But sadly, it isn't as comfy as i thought it was.. Well, it was comfy at 1st, buthen i gradually realized that my toes are soooo pain.. Well, the front part is partly covered.. And gosh, 2 of my toes, 1 on the left and 1 on the right foot, are actually abit bruised!! The bruise is inside the toenail mind you.. I nearly fainted wearing that pair of heels.. and I actually walked from SUntec to Marina for my lunch in that pair of heels. I thought of writing a complaint letter to URS, but well, I don't see if it'll do any good. =( I spent $44 on that pair of shoes lehz!! sighz.. Don't even dare to wear now.. Shall see how it goes ba.. try and see if there's anything I can do to enlarge the front part.. And, I suddenly thought that I need to buy a pair of shoes.. thinking of adidas, but I think Hubby is gonna say I waste $$ =x

hmz.. was looking at Istelle's photos & videos, and realized how much she has grown in a short 4mths.. Babies really do grow fast.. Looking forward to tomorrow, cause I will be seeing my little darling Ah Fat again. Hehe!! Oh yah, did I mention that my Istelle is toothing? =) Fast eh.. Must be a greedy little ger in future.. hehe..

That's all for today's entry.. Hub complaining that I alwis online, nv acc him.. But I did lor! haha!

Adios Dears~

~iStEllE & hEr CoUsIn~



Very obviously, the newborn baby is my newborn niece, Istelle's 堂妹. hehe! Meanwhile, the other pic is sent to me by my daddy today as my darling Istelle had her 1st haircut today. She really look so much like a boy huh.. hehe. But I will ensure that she grow up like a young woman, and not a boy. ^^

~cOnGrAtS tO xInNi & DeFeNg~

Now that we have settled our month end closing, and due to Korea and China Holiday, I am so so so so so so free!! Nothing to do, hence here to blog~

First, congrats to Xinni and Defeng.. Their little baby ger finally came out into this world on.. Children's Day! Haa! Xinni carried her to full terms, gained around 16~17kg, but little baby ger only 2.6kg.. Visited her at Thomson on that day itself.. Felt so different to carry little baby (Cause Ah Fat is so big n heavy now). 1 hand is all you need to carry my little baby niece. Hehe! She's so little and cute. Ok, I know I keep emphasizing on 'LITTLE'!! But she really is little. Anyway, she looks alot like her mummy.. Lips more like daddy mayb?

Went for movie at JP with Sarah and Seng yesterday, and due to GV Members day, we get 50cents off per tix, meaning each tix only $6.50. haha! Wanna watch Superdog initially, but the 2 man don't want! So we ended up watching 'Rouge Assassin' by Jet Le. It's a nice show, aside from a few gross and gruesome scene, such as the killing scene, with a unexpected twist in the ending. Recommended show, but not for 'just dating couple' cuz it's not romantic! haha..

10more minutes to lunch.. I saw a black stilettos yesterday.. will go and get it later lunch. I finally found my black stilettos! Haha! And later after work, to URS to get my white heels. I guess should curb my spending after this..

p/s: Istelle shaving botak today. Hope more hair will grow after that. hehe..

Yeah!! I passed my Advance Theory Test today.. ^_^

~HaPpYmOoN fEsTiVaL~

Well, kinda late, but still, HAPPY MOON FESTIVAL to everyone out there. ^_^

Went to CHinese Garden with Sharon & Jiaxian yesterday.. Time flies.. Two years ago, I too went to the Chinese Garden with Sharon to celebrate this day, but our partners then were someone else. Anyway, the theme for this year is marine. *sings: Under the sea, under the sea~ ~* Well, my favourite is still the Disney theme.. NOthing interesting this time, just fishes, octopus, shark.. wad else? hmz..

Took some photos though. Heh.. Got my dear hubby to pose silly with me. =p Ron & Jiaxian took many photos too. Hehe! But the best shot is taken when we were all up at the 7th floor of the pagoda.. Looking down the view in the night, it felt so romantic.. Hehe..I even pose for a kissing shot with Hub.. *Blush*

After that came the fireworks at 10pm, and this is the 1st time I ever saw fireworks at such a close up distance. Felt scary.. =( Anyway, the fireworks ain't nice.. nothing special, just the usual *boom boom boom* went home after the fireworks ended. Hub and I felt sooooo tired that he asked sis to fetch mum off work instead. Hehe.



Sunday, 23rd Aug

Hub and I wakey early in the morning cause we have a small get together at Ting's place.. Chingyi could not make it at the last minute as she had to bring her mum to the doctor. =( Have not seen her for a long time. ANyway, 1st to arrive at Ting's place is Xiaoli, followed by Hub, me, ROn and Xian, and finally, Fang~

Ting steamed some buns and dimsum for us and we just hang around chatting abit and disturbing Angel & Vivi (Ting's 2 little princess) I will say that TIng has really taught Angel well... She's very well behaved and obedient. I hope my darling Istelle will be obedient too, and for this, my mummy will have to play a very big role! hehe..

ANyway, as usual, we played Majong. Haha! Hub and I contributed the most to Sharon, 110.

~*~ iStEllE's cOllAgE~*~

The collage shown is my latest piece of artwork, specially done for my little darling. Not much of a masterpiece, but it's my 1st attempt.. Hence I gv myself a big clap!! ^_^

~mY sUnDaY~

I think my last Sunday was quite eventful.. Woke up early in the morning 9am for KTV session with the gers, Sarah, Sooyi and Daphne. Kareen unable to join as she's away at Korea with her Hubby, and Sharon away at Batam with her darling Jiaxian lor. so good that they can go overseas for a break while I am stuck in Singapore. Went to Clementi partyworld and sang from 11am to 2pm.. Can say that we're hellava crAZy babes! wahahha!! I am calling myself a babe still .. aiyo. Anyway, we sing, we dance, we scream, & we took many silly photos! After that, I went home for a majong session. But the players came as quite a surprise.Seng, hubby and I played, and guess who's the 4th player?? Sarah combined with Soo Yi!! Yi knows how to play MJ(to my surprise) while Sarah is a 1st timer, so Yi sat beside her and guide her along. But not bad for a 1st timer though. Hehe! Of cuz, I am the big winner! hoho! But not a lot of cuz. p/s: Sarah smsed me on Monday lor.. saying that she's itching to MJ. Haha! Welcome to the MJ Club Ger!! And I ended my Sunday by bringing my little darling back to woodlands, to her grandma. I miss her so much now. Sometimes when I come to think of it, I feel quite sad that I don't get to see her everyday, to witness her process of growing up. =( Haiz..

Istelle is 7.7kg now, & 3mths old! she's our little ah fat! hehe. This photo of her is taken on 9/8, at minds cafe celebrating and giving Sarah's Hubby seng a little surprise.

Having a little life is a really huge commitment, and bring about a big change to my life. I still miss my old lifestyle sometimes, wild and crazy n no commitment.. But well, I love my little Ah Fat, Istelle, more. Just being able to see her smile makes me feel that it's worth it. ^_^









Oh, Qcie's青梅竹马 Vodka, just came over to our place. hehe. Isn't he handsome?

~Pls vote for Darling Istelle~

~The Famous Trees~

I believe that everyone is aware of the spirituous trees which are creating a huge commotion at the western part of our country, Jurong West. Being the typical KPO Singaporean, I asked Hubby to bring me to see the famous trees, together with My mum & cousin, Esther, and my friend Jacky.

Originally, there was only 1 tree, but now, it has actually spread to 3 other trees.

^The left photo is supposed to portray the image of an old man, believed to be the tree spirit which will only exist when the tree is very old.
^ The right one shows the silhouette of a goddess. (Both are taken on the same tree, but 2 different sides)


^The photo on the left shows an elephant (Many Hindus were there worshipping this tree as Elephant is supposed to be their God of Fortune)
^The photo on the right shows that of a 虎爷. (Both are on the same tree as well, but different sides.)

THis is the 1st original tree with the monkeys.

~BEBE Fashion Show~

Let me post a few pics on the BEBE Fashion Show.. Pics are abit blur though.





This Piece is my favorite of all!! But will only get to wear this dress on functions. Anyway, I did not buy it. Heh.. No chance to wear.

~BEBE & Shopping~

Went to Bebe's private function yesterday with Ariel. Actually it's Kareen's invitation card, but since she's going to Korea she pass the card to Ariel. So, off we went to Bebe~

My 1st time to a private function, and silly it might sound, my 1st time into BEBE too.. I was never interested in their fashion till yesterday. My, their clothes are nice, not to mention expensive! My hands itch to buy at least 1 piece, but my little darling came into my mind. Haha! I have to save for her.. Cannot just spend as and when I like anymore.

Anyway, saw their latest fall collection fashion show.. nice clothes, or is it because the models have good figure? haha! Nevertheless, a few of their new collection caught my attention too. But their price too caught my attention. A whopping close to S$300!! haha! I know, I sound so auntie, but you can't blame me. I am not someone who's earning $5k a month, so I definitely won't spend few hundred bucks on a piece of clothe. Hmz... but ironically, I spent S$700 on my bag. haha!! Woman!!!

Went to URS after that, and a white heels caught my attention. Hehe.. I've been saying since Day 1 that I wanna buy black stilletoes, but here I go again with other colours. Oh, I got a turquoiste colour stilletoes last Thursday when I went shopping with Sooyi, Sarah, Kareen and Sherolyn (Need to list down the names so that in future, I will know who I go out with) Hee!! Anyway, I asked Ariel to help me buy the heels from URS, as her frd has a 40% disc!

Went to LV and Coach after that but saw nothing that I fancy. WHY?!?!?!?! Haha!! When I am seriously considering buying something, there's nothing nice! Anyway, I shall wait till next yr, and see if there's any new design for LV. Yes!! I have the intention to splurge!! But till next yr then I shall see..

Ya, chatting with Sooyi on MSN now.. She's the only one to keep me from getting bored to death everyday at work. haha! And I am blaming her and Sarah for recruiting me into the 38 club! haha! Even Hubby says that I am becoming more 38. =x

So sianz.. I shall wait for my colleague claire to finish her lunch and we shall go shopping!! Hehe!!

~A mOtHeR's |oVe~

THere's an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 at Sumatra earlier this evening, around 7+pm.. Hubby and I were at my mum's place at woodlands visiting Istelle when it happened. Mum was sitting on her chair when she suddenly felt dizzy, and this was when my dad and youngest bro said that they felt tremors too.. Funnily enough, both hubby and I felt nothing. But just hearing from my family is enough to send shivers up my spine...

I actually carried Istelle, wore my heels and asked my mum seriously if we wanna get out of our hse and outta the block! I was really getting the goosebumps, and my thoughts were all on Istelle. I thought what's gonna happen if the building really collapse? I need to protect my darling.. I was shocked at my own reaction. Mum went over to my neighbour's place to check it out. My neighbours weren't around, but their maid said that she too felt the tremors.. GUess that since she's from Philippines, she has experience in these kinda situation.. She said that the tremor actually lasted for 15s. Even told me to stay put in my flat, as in this kinda situation, if the building really collapse, it's best to be as high up as possible. Well, guess it's logical afterall, but in times of panic, who would have tot so? 1st tot will definitely be to run away and out!

After we came back from my neighbour's, I was still feeling shaky. The news was not out yet at that time as to what exactly had happened. I pass Istelle to Hubby, thinking that if anything happened, Hubby will be in a better position to protect her. He can run faster, He's of a bigger built, He is stronger than I am.. Only when the news was out that the tremor was caused by the 2 quakes at Indonesia did I manage to calm myself down. My mum even laughed at me later on, saying that she could see I was terrified, and serious in dashing out with Istelle. Haha!! I find it funny too. But well, you can't blame me. Guess it's really mother's love.. My family and hubby can run away themselves, but my little darling baby can't! So naturally my 1st tot was her.

Anyway, glad that it's over. I do have morbid tots sometimes. I imagine if something was to happen to my family and Istelle, I know I will definitely break down & Hard to pull myself up. I swore to love and treasure my family, my hubby and my baby Istelle, and I pray for only good things to happen to them. It's only after you have your own child, can you feel the love your parents really felt for u..
My Darling and I (taken before the quake)

~Free Again~

Once again, I am very free in the office, so I shall blog.. Nothing to do anyway..

Went to catch 'Evan Almighty' yesterday at westmall with Sarah and Seng.. (Hmz.. S&S couple. I have 'S'arah&'S'ooyi gf, now there's S&S couple. haha! And I have a 'S'haron good frd, so many 'S's) Quite a funny & light hearted show, based on the story of Noah's Ark.. The animals are so cute too.. I wouldn't mind watching it again sometime down the road, cause it lighten my mood, made me happier. haha!!

Was talkin to Sarah about getting a flat, she and Seng are going for flat viewing too. There were these 3 blocks besides the Condo at Westmall, with drop down windows, and the lobby is relatively nice. These 3 blks are, I think, the newest blocks in batok area. Good location as it is just besides westmall.. Hubby and I intended to go take a look initially, but guess what is the price like?! I really got a stunned when Sarah told me.. The units at these 3 blocks are going at around 600k!!!!! OMG!!! This is only a HDB flat, not even a condo and not even located in the town area. And from what I see, the units might not be very big too. Maybe I'll go check it out on the internet later.. But what a shocking 600k!!

Wanted to get flats at Punggol initially, but guess the flats there are all very small.. Imagine a 4-rm flat at only 90sqm. I will faint! So small!! GUess we have to wait for HDB bi-monthly sale and see how.

Talking about my little darling Istelle, she's growing at an amazingly fast rate! She weighs a heavy 6.3kg on 8/15, and I am wondering how heavy is she now. She's v playful now. Loves to talk, though she only knows how to blabber. haha! And she loves people carrying her. Like to look around her surroundings when we carry her around the house. And most importantly, she smile aloT!!! Hehe! Her smile is soooooo charming! But what makes happiest is that everybody dotes on her. hehe..She has even learned how to flutter her eye lashes. haha!! Electrifying lor! =p All in all, I just love my little princess. hehe..

Can't wait for Friday.. to fetch her home. Meanwhile, I will source around for a nice studio, to take Istelle's portfolio. hehe.. Babies grow up real fast, hence I wanna keep every moment of her. ^_^

*yawnz* What am I doing now? Nothing! Ok, let me start the story....

I've already resigned from my previous co, and I am now working at LG Philips. Been here for 1 month, but yet I am still quite free, nothing much to do.

~Birth of Istelle, 08th June 2007~

My little Princess, Istelle, came into this world on this date (Oh yah, which happens to be the same day as Ariel 24yrs ago, and Bubu, 25yrs ago. Hehe) This is how it all happened..

As Istelle is a breeched baby, I am scheduled for operation on 13th June 2007, 2.30pm for my little princess to finally see her daddy and mummy. However, on 08th June morning, something unexpected happened..

I was just back from my toilet 'visit' at 6+am and has climbed back into bed. However, I cant fall asleep. Water just kept dripping during my toilet visit. I thought it was just some discharged hence I did not think too much about it. However, as I lie on my bed, i felt that my panty was quite wet, very unusual from before. I decided to check it out. But as immediately as I climbed outta bed, water started dripping again.. All the way from my bedroom to the kitchen toilet, to my mum's room.. I guessed my waterbag has burst, though there's no sign of labour pain and contraction..

I woke my mum up immediately and we started preparing for our trip to the hospital. First thing I did was to call Hubby (He was having reservice) and I called for a cab.. Around 7+am, I am in Thomson Medical's labour ward, waiting for hubby to reach and waiting for operation. I had this urine pad inserted inside me connected to my bladder to clear my urine.. and gosh, it was REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!!

At 10.20am, I was pushed into the OT while Hubby was led to put on the gown and mask. I was really very nervous as I opt for Local Anesthetics instead of General Anesthetics. I wanted to see my darling the moment she comes into this world.. The drip was inserted into my veins and mine was it painful. On the contrary, the epidural was not as painful.. but I do have a kinda sensation going into my bones as epidural was injected. When the doctor is sure that the lower half of my body has been numbed, they started to operate on me. By now, Hubby is already beside me holding my hand..

All I can say about the operation is, IT SURE AINT FEEL GOOD!! Though my lower half has been numbed, but there's still this feeling of tugging and pulling and there's a cramp feeling inside. It sure doesn't lose out to those pricky pain... =( at 10.57am, I finally get to see my baby.. Now we know why she doesn't turn her head downwards. That's cuz HER UMBILICAL CORD WAS WOUNDED AROUND HER NECK THRICE!!!

It's really GOD's bless that she came out earlier instead of the scheduled date, safe and sound. I wouldn't know what might have happened otherwise. My 1st sight of Baby Istelle is her frowning at me.. Hehe.. How cute.. Must be thinking who has dragged and pulled her outta her comfort zone. =p My Gynae who was operating on me told me that Istelle winked at her the moment she was out. ^_* How cute!

Anyway, this is how Baby Istelle entered our life finally.. And all throughout my pregnancy, I am really glad to have Hubby's support and understanding. He's the best hubby ever in the whole wide world and I am a lucky wife. Hehe..

~Up & Running Again~

It'll be 1 year soon since my last blog. Baby Istelle's full month will be exactly 1yr. Glad to say, Yeah! I'll be back to blogging soon!! =)
