CNY Stock Check

After going thru the kids and our wardrobe. I realised the kids have quite a few clothes that were new. Just Janelle alone, she has 2 dresses from Jshopper.com, 1 Laura Ashley I got from HV, 1 dress that I asked my mum to make. Julian has more than 8 tops - long, short tees and shirt that I got over the months. He still has at least 5 new pants. I think I can stop getting the kids more clothes. Hmmm.. may be some new panties for Janelle and new pj for Julian.

Mummy owned Didi too much

Couldnt sleep at this hour... have being surfing net for hours and I could feel pain on my back. I must have bend too much while typing. TV was still playing the programmes... accoy me till I finished blogging.... We sent Janelle and ILs off to HK early 23 Dec morning. I told Janelle we needed to wake up before the Sun. I threw her a qns if it was morning while Law drove us to Airport. She said YES but I asked her why I couldnt see the SUN? She was dumbfolded. hahaha.... Poor Julian got drag up by us to the Airport but he dozed off after our breakfast. Finally the house was back to me, Law and Julian. I dun know do I missed the noisy-ness or the quietness. Finally have more time with Julian, I actually forgotten I need private time with Julian as well. I kept thinking to make up with Janelle as she is at the stage of attention seeking period but I truely forgotten abt Julian. He needed my attention as well. It was very fun to be with Julian. I brot him to my coy Xmas celebration, he at...

Still a good weekend

Once again, i was bolt down by work and it was quite a lousy Saturday as my mind simple couldnt work at all. I just felt like sleeping and I couldnt seemed to work logically althot I had already briefed my contractors. I just couldnt wait for the migration to be completed. Luckily we still managed to finish them by 6pm. Infact , by then my brain simply couldnt work any more. Luckily Sabrina's cousin Jerome bday celebration on saturday . At least Janelle had something to look forward and I heard that she enjoyed herself that nite cos she always being adored by Sabrina's relatives very very much. MIL reminded us to pray " Tai Sui" and that also meant "Dong Zhi " is coming. This is the day that the Chinese consider as the end of "Winter" and a also a good opportunity for family to have a gathering for dinner. We made a trip to Sim Ave temple and pray for Tai Sui, althot it is not necessary for me to pray for next yr but I still go ahead to...

Jabs for the kids

In conjuction to the HK trip, I decided to let Janelle take a Prenavar jab before she fly off. After hearing the talk abt the virus, the thinking of making the 2 kids having the jab linger in my heart for very long. However, the jab is really super exp. Dr Sim charge $170 each jab. Now I couldnt wait, I must get Janelle to have it. As for Julian, he was long due for his MMR jab. I decided to bring the 2 kids on Friday nite cos I needed to work on Sat and Law have a last min assignment from his boss. MIL simply cannot understand why Janelle needed that jab. I couldnt bother to explain to her, anyway it is meant for her well being. I couldnt take the risk to lost my only daughter. Dr Sim's clinic was closed, we were so unfortuante that he started his holiday on that day. *sigh* So I dropped into one of the clinic call "Healthway" to enquiry abt the jab. The jab must be too exp, the clinic didnt keep alot, infact that is the last jab they have. Surprisingly the jab only cost...

Pants

I set my eye on one Bossini chocolate corduroy pant at Bossini but I didnt buy it in the 1st place. I was quite fickle minded if I shld get it. I'm soon regretted cos the 2nd, 3rd times I visited other branches, they din have the size I wanted. I tried two different sizes the 1st time and decided to take the smaller size cos all the jeans I got turn out to be too lose after 1st wear. I couldnt find the smaller size after I decided to get it. I went to Vivo branch after having my German sauage that nite. I was very determined to get the pant that nite but very disappointed when the sale lady told me they din have the size anymore. I requested them to do a search for me in the other branches. They managed to find a branch at Causeway point and make a reservation for me. I spotted another pair of jean in the shop that nite which cost lesser than the Corduroy pant. Using the excuse that Law owning more jeans than me and I need extra jean for my site visit. I got myself another new jean...

Nice German Sauages

Law has being telling me about the delicious sauage restaurant at Vivo City and kept telling me he wanted to bring me there. Finally we made it to the restaurant on Monday after work. That meant we skipped the child visiting that nite. I guessed it healthy to married couple with kids to have some breather session ocassionally. The restaurant is called Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant It has a very relax ambient, and Law chosed to have a table facing the sea, looking at the Sentosa. Well, I could say that is a very nice view but it was indeed pretty relaxing cos we din have to rush thru our meal. We ordered the mix sauages combo for two which compromised of diff kinds of German sauages. I expected the sauages to be real BIG but they werent. However, they served the sauages with an unique tip and a nice portion of sautee vegetable which i believe to be cabbage. The vege combine very well with the sauages but the only sauages that I couldnt down my throat was the lamb sauages. Po...

Barney Barney

Image
Shopping malls really take the great effort to organise many kiddy show for the kids. There are so many last weeks that I decided to chose Barney cos it is the nearest to our place. I dun really feel that the kids enjoy it but is a 1st time experience for Julian. We settle our lunch at MOF. It is quite a nice place. Thanks to Florence for introduce the restaurant to me. Julian looked so bored with barney. Look like Daddy and Son prefer each other more.

My off day

Couldnt take it finally, so I took a day off to relax at home. Then Xian sms me and told me she wanted to go to Browhaus to trim her eyebrow. I told her I was on off so we can proceed earlier instead of after 6pm. It was never easy to bring little one out, Xian was late cos she needed to prepare Jovan for the outing. Luckily the Browhaus was nice enough to allow my sister to go ahead even when she was very late for her appointment. We went to Jin Tai Feng for lunch and I bumped into Rachael and family. Jovan had turned to a little devil at time and I saw Xian having hard time trying to handle him. I do agree he wasnt a easy kid and can be quite fussy at time. No wonder my mother never wanted to babysit our kids for us cos she couldnt handle anyone of them. We went to visit Wei Heng and his newborn at their place at Hougang and Xian decided to follow me home for dinner. Never get to make the Beggar Chix as i couldnt find the lotus leaves near my area. So i used the chix to make Rice Coo...

Julian 1st dip

Image
We have brot Julian to his 1st dip finally! Thanks to Sulan and family for allowing us to swim at their condo which is located at Kovan - Kovan Melody. It is a nice condo and Janelle is super excited with it. She even told daddy to get a house that has a pooll. Julian is super daring, he simply love the water. He dun even need any warm up. The moment we submerged him into the water, he started giggling and splashing. However, the water was pretty cold that day and 30 min later, Julian was trembling and I got to carry him away from the water to dry him. However, Janelle enjoyed herself very much. She could click very well with Siying and Rachael. Look like she has expanded her frd list. We proceed to Hougang central hawker for our dinner and take a short tour into Kovan Mall before heading home. I love these photos. Jan & Ju look so cute.
