Darling's First Cookery Lesson, Mini Pizza

I finally get to knock off OTD today. Went to Westmall for quick dinner with hubby, order Darling's Birthday Cake and headed home right after that. I have been doing OT for the past 3 days, so I wanted to come home and spend more time with my Darling. But who knows. I reached home at about 830, and she is already in bed... -_-"

As usual, I went to Darling bag to take a look at her daily communication booklet from Appleland.

Istelle enjoys cooking lesson
She's able to cut ingredients using plastic knife. Well Done!

And see what my darling brought home from school..

Teacher Nora told her to bring mini pizza back for mummy, and she rushed into her classroom to get it, only to end up saying "Mum Mum".. And she ate the mini hotdog from the pizza.. Keke.. My cute little darling ^^

I miss Fannie, Juhye and Elena

Juhye, Elena and Fannie left Singapore yesterday Morning, and I also came back to work yesterday afternoon.

I cannot believe that the days past so fast.. It seems just yesterday that they were here in Singapore, and now, they are all back to their own Countries.

I miss all of them so much.. ㅠㅠ... Everywhere I go in Singapore reminds me of them and makes me wanna cry..

Finally~~

Elena, Me and Fannie @ 네장산, Korea

I will upload soon~~ And last but not the least, Elena is coming on Friday~~ WooHoo~~ I am so happy. I am looking forward to tonight.

Busy & Tiring Weekend

It has been a very tiring weekend for me. Everything was in a rush...

Brought Qcie for her grooming on Saturday afternoon with Ah ROn and Peiling. Ron came to borrow my blades for her ECP chalet with her SNEC friends. Sometimes, I feel so envious of her freedom. SO many activities and nothing to bind her. Freedom!

After I brought Qcie home from her grooming session, Darling has also waken up. Brought Darling to CWP to meet my mum. Being adventurous and lazy, I decided to leave Darling's pram at home and just make her walk from home to Batok MRT station. Well, it was a decision I regretted when we were halfway to the station.

We were already very late in meeting my mum, plus the weather was so hot and My Darling decided that she has walked enough, and made me carry her all the way from the park to Batok Station. -_-" Darling is a whooping 15kg mine you.. Sigh. It was a great relief later cuz Darling decided that she has tortured her mummy enough, and decided to stroll to the station.

After a short shopping trip at CWP, we headed back to my mum's place. It was already 6+ when we reached mum's home. Went for dinner at 7+, and rushed to Senja to receive my newly ordered furniture T 8+, after which we rushed back to drop Darling with MIL and again, we rushed to WM to catch StarTrek @ 930pm with Qing and Seng. GOsh was it really rush. SUpposed to visit Yi and Guan (THey had a bike accident at PIE the night before), but cuz of the really tight schedule, we cannot make it. So sorry...

And then comes SUnday(Which is today), another busy day.

HUbby did chemical wash for the aircon at new hse this morning, while I prepared breakfast^^ I saw abit of the process for the chemical wash, and him testing the gas in the air con etc. It is not as easy as what I always thought.

I swept the floor and nua awhile before we headed home about 2+. Disassembled Darling's bed (One of the dropside) so that we can joined her bed with ours.. Make it more convenient when sleeping at night, and make our beds bigger. Next, ransack the storeroom for all my softtoys. Hubby keep forcing me to give them away to Salvation Army.

FInally, after much heartpain, I finally gave up the softtoys which hold so much memories of previous relationships. Not that I still cling on to them, but memories play a very important part of my life. =( Initially, decided to donate them to THe Salvation Army, but MIL has a friend who is very poor and can't afford to buy toys for her daughter, so we gave the toys to them instead.

And Oh My, I can see that her daughter is really happy. Aside from this, I see the gratitude on the mum's face. Suddenly, it felt so heartwrentching to watch. Surrounding me are people who cannot even afford soft toys, but I am spending so much $ to persue luxury items. Not that I am ashamed of myself, but I think in future, I should put my $ to better and wiser use. Anyway, I really feel very happy to be able to see the faces of the mom and the daughter. ^^

Went back to new house again to prepare all the stuff needed for Fannie, ELena's and Juhye's arrival next week. I am so excited. I can't wait to see them again. ^^

Wow, such a lengthy entry. I should end here. It's another busy working day tomorrow. 힘내요!

Happy Mother's Day

Kinda late for Mother'sDay post but still, Belated Happy Mother's Day~~

I had no idea where to bring mummy for Mother's day treat. SHe mentioned high tea, but I am totally clueless to yummy food. Heh.. Coincidentally, Small Cherry told me that Big Cherry has reserved HighTea@Marriot Hotel on 09May with their mum. Big Cherry has good comments for Marriot's High Tea Buffet, hence I also made a reservation on 09th May. ^^

I had to cancel my reservation cuz mummy find's it too expensive to spend SGD41.20 on High Tea Buffet. But, guess what? Haha!! I was entitled to special discounts when I tried to cancel the reservation. I was so frank to tell the lady that their buffet is too pricey.. =x Anyway, I got a good discount, priced at SGD30.90 per pax. A whooping 10 bucks disc~~!!!

DId not manage to take photos of the place and food, cuz my darling Istelle is trying her best to make her mummy very busy, even too busy to enjoy the food and fill mummy's stomach. But of cuz, I will never fail to take pics of my family. ^^

Happy Mother's Day to our Dearest Mummy~

That's my Bro and I. ^^

My Beloved

Trying so hard to get a decent Family shot.

Grandma and Mummy smiling Happily but Darling is so distracted

My Big Darling CHerry~~

My Small Darling CHerry~~

Darling wants to take more photos

So I took photo of her walking...

.. and Climbing..

~~And The End~~

Work Sux

Hm... Let me see when is my last entry.. 20th Feb.. still not considered very long right? Haha.. only 2mths ++

The time now is 545, 15mins more to KO time. Guess all must be surprised to see me blogging at this time of the day. I am well known to be so so so busy at work w/o any minutes or seconds to spare. But today is different. I have completed all those work which I can complete.. ^^ Hence I am allowed rest for awhile before I start battling with month end closing again....

Been feeling really pissed, depressed and demoralized with work... I really want to resign, but so what if I join another company. It's the same everywhere, especially with the bad economy now. So my current plan will be to remain in my current company 1st, earn and save as much as I can, and if I am to quit, I will want to be my own boss. Do own small business if possible.

With an extra help joining our team in my company, I should be able to have more free time on hand. Hopefully I'll be able to go home at 6pm everyday. However, talking about the 1st and last day of the month, there's no way that I can run away from it. Sigh.... And yesterday, I realized that I cannot celebrate Hubby's birthday this year, because, his birthday falls on the last day of the month!! ㅠㅠ

Well, I have nothing much to say for now. Hubby will be coming to fetch me at 6 today~~ Yeah!! I can go home early. Hopefully, I can post some pics here at home if time allows, and if my darling Istelle allows (Because she's been hogging my lappie to play children songs. Hehe)

Meanwhile, bye for now.. Counting down to KO timE~~

Jan & Feb Events

WHen was my last entry? Hm.. Ok, MOody new Year Eve on 31Dec 2008. Big Wow.. It is nearly 2 months now. Let me recap and update what has happened this 2mths.

Jan'09
Did alot of OT in Jan, so I can say that my life is basically all work & work.. However, I finally did lasik for my eyes on 21st Jan.. ^^ It was only a short surgery but the aftermath really don't feel good. Luckily Hubby is so sweet to send me home after surgery.

As eyes feel very dry and sensitive immediately after lasik surgery, I went straight to bed. But glad enough, my eyes are much better now. ^^

Was on MC on 22nd, and it happened to be our 1st appointment with HDB to settle our HLE Loan and sign the papers for our new house.

CHinese New Year period past relatively fast this year. Only 2days of non working day. ㅠㅠ
As usual, Day 1 to both of our Grandparents' house, and Day 2 to Shirley's hse, followed by Yi's hse, and finally our hse as the final destination.

Our house is just lIke a gambling den in Genting that night.. Terrible..
Nothing much after that..just gambling and visiting till End of CNY

Feb'09
Valentine's Day on this month, a special day for all couples, but also a commercial Day as everything is especially pricey on this day.

Went to spa at Central @ Clarke Quay and did a 75mins hot stone massage. And so luckily, it happened that it was also the 1st day of my menses. =(

The activity that followed later is the evening is the big event of that day. Guan planned a surprise for Yi at Chevrons KTV, a wedding proposal surprise. ^^ Our Dear Yi is finally getting married after a long 7yrs marathon.. Is it 7 years? But anyway, congratulations.

Meanwhile, I have started my Korean lEsson course @ Frontier CC with Yi and Kareen. I hope I can speak Korean to Juhye when she comes to SIngapore in May'09. ^^ That's my goal..

Moody New Year Eve..

First, let me wish all a Happy New Year eve.. We're gonna wave and say bye to 2008 while welcoming 2009...

Most must be in a festive mood now, planning their celebration for tonight, but not me.. I also have my own party to attend, but I think I am going to welcome 2009 in my office.. Well, though I already see this coming, not now, but since last year, I still feel moody.. Just hope that we can close our sales by tonight, so that I don't have to come back to office tomorrow... ㅠㅠ Moody day...

I Got My Own Flat

I am extremely happy today. And I know that for those of my friends who know why, they all feel very happy for me too..

Hubby and I went for flat viewing today. Saw 1 unit which we really love.. it's High, 29th flr, 5I, 110sqm, renovated, and the flat is only 5yrs old. It has a fantastic view cuz you can see the fireworks and can even see suntec. You must be thinking it is at a very good location. ^^

Nope.. it's at Senja Road, Bukit Panjang area... After discussing with hUbby, we decided that we should not let a house which we love slipped through our fingers. Hence we went for 2nd viewing at night, with Istelle and both of our mums...

Well, that's it.. we paid the deposit immediately after our 2nd view... Hubby and I got the house we love tonight.. that was a really fast 1 which caught us by surprise though.. ^^ But I am happy. Finally, we have a love nest of our own... and a fantastic 1

I still miss Korea

It's been 2weeks since I have been back in Singapore, but I still miss Korea, miss Paju, miss everyone from ERP Team2, miss the other core members especially Fannie, Elena and Juhye, miss Sean, miss Hurkely, miss Tiger...

3rd December : 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary

Happy 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary to Hubby and I. Time really flies. In a blink of an eye, Hubby and I are married for 2years.. To me, it still seem like yesterday that we got married...

Both of us took leave on this day, to celebrate and to relax ourselves.. We do not really have anything planned in mind.Just wanted to go for a spa and massage as the priority, and dinner at night.

In the end, Hubby checked up with Ah Hao, and off we went to Spa VIntage at Bukit Timah. As Sis was on leave too, the 3 of us proceeded to SPa VIntage. Had a really Nice massage, but at the expense of my spectacles.. Stupid me actually place my specs on top of the tealight candle and let it burn for more than 5mins...

VINTAGE SPA

Take a look at the damaged done to my specs by the time we realized it.. ㅋㅋㅋ

ECP Trip with my Lil Family : 30Nov

Been so long since Hubby, Darling and I spent some good time together outside of home. We decided that we should start to bring Darling for some activities rather than always shopping. Hence, we went to ECP today~~ It was my lil darling's 1st time on a bicycle. I was so afraid that she will reject it as she's always so scared of new and unfamiliar things. SUrprisingly, she was fine.. She even enjoyed it. ^^


On our way to ECP, and My lil darling with her trademark pose..


Yay~We've reached ECP.. Daddy with Istelle


She overcame her fear of unfamiliar experience only within 1 minute. ^^ Getting ready to zoom off~~


Our family photo at the beach.. ^^


Darling is pointing to the sea, but she's actually so scared to go near the water.. Keke..


I am waiting for my 'CHicken tender'


We returned our bicycles and are walking back to our car when Darling starts her trademark pose again...


I really think Darling looks more and more like Daddy.


But does Darling look abit like mummy too??

Lost in Paju

It has been exactly 1 week since I came back to Singapore, but somehow and somewhat, a part of me is still left in Paju,Korea... Well, for those who know,there's nothing at Paju. There's nothing interesting. It's just where my factory and office is. But the people whom I know there, and some of whom I am going to keep for life,they are the ones whom I have been missing, and am missing right now. 보고 싶어...너무 보고 싶어.. ㅠㅠ


I miss Taopoki and Oden in the cold cold weather...


I miss our good eating times in the cold weather...


I miss our times together.. hanging out...


I miss them the most... for they make my Paju stay the most memorable...

Another Freezing Night + Photo Time

Guess what is the temperature in Paju tonight?

It's a freaking freezing 10 to -2Degree Celcius.. So obviously, it's the latter now.. Elena and I were really freezing when we walked from the office back to the guest house. And I really mean, FREEZE! I can feel the air seeping into my coat, even though the internal of my coat is made of wool.

I just surfed the net, and the temperature for tomorrow and wed is even worse.. 4 to -3 Degree celcius. I really Hope it will snow tomorrow. ^^

Anyway, here comes some updates..


Trip to Sinchon & Hongda : 15Nov (Sat)

Once again, we proceeded to seoul for the weekend. This time, with Quan, Fannie and Elena..


Taken at Woollong Train Station


Fannie and I 自拍

Met up with Hurkely and Sean at Hongda for Fannie's favourite Booldak (Spicy Chicken). She has been craving for it for soooooo long..


This is the renowned Booldak, and yes, it is really quite spicy, but delicious. Have to thank Hurkely for it.. ^^


Sean came right after his wedding lunch. Look at how smartly dressed he is.


Hurkely and Fannie.. ^^

Went to Sinchon in search of a place to stay for Fannie, Elena and I, and we had dinner after that.

Our dinner.. so called 'All Variety Pancake'


I have to post this pic even though I don't look nice in it, because it's very seldom that you get to take a photo of sean smiling nicely.


Sean and Fannie... ^^


Hurkely and I with our RIce wine??
