My Itchy Scalp

This itchy scalp problem has being bothering me for some period and I end up with dandruff from time to time. I have tried dandruff shampoo, it only help for a few days and it came back again. I tried getting Organic shampoo thinking that natural may be good but it did not really help much. With problem, I spent more $$ on shampoo like Phyto but still no solution. I decided to save the $$ to guess which shampoo suit me and go direct to doctor. Doctor prescribed Inoil T shampoo, which doesnt smell that good and make my hair really dry. I really hope it will help to ease my itchiness and flaky scalp from now. Feel like cuttin short my hair.

Rolled over shoes

My appointment with Podiatry, a young Australian Podiatrist. He questioned me gently about my pain symptoms and make assessment on my right foot n toe. His recommendation was to try the insole with a rolled over shoes. He asked if I knew about the brand call Skechers. He went into the web and showed me the designs, asking if I could wear these designs to work. The other podiatrist recommended a coverup design as it minimize the foot movement and give better support to the foot. On top of that, I will get another insole for my shoes, he wanted to imobilise my toe and prevent it for bending too much to see if it could decrease my pain. That insole cost me $62 which he told me was much cheaper than those selling outside. Really??? I told Law about it and we went to Parkway Skecher outlet to try out the shoes. Due to the contour in the mid foot, the feeling was quite different. I was not really bending my toes but the shoes cost $176! I need to look for cheaper source for Skecher. My shoes...

Sweet boy or...

After two nights with MIL, Julian came happily back home. Mum: Do you miss me? Julian: Yes, I miss mummy so much. Mum: Really, how much is so much? Julian: Very very much lor. Mum: Then? Julian: Tonight I sleep with you. Mum: On the bed or the floor? Julian: I sleep with you 1st then I sleep on the floor. (He is trying to tell me he will shift down after I fall asleep.) Mum: Really. Julian: Cos I want to hug you to sleep. So sweet but I am always the one to carry him to his mattress.

Melting

I missed my stop in the morning and have to walk 2 bus stops back to reach office. Try walking under May sun in the morning. I think I am melting and brain fry.

$400 course and free for Janelle

Holiday is coming and while I am trying my best to plan my holiday schedules and the kids holiday programme, Janelle popped in a letter from School. Nothing bad but good new. The school is giving the SELECTED students Holiday Programme during the June break and Janelle is the selected one. Still her ORATOR programme which the school is sending her again during the June break. I wonder why as her original Orator programme is still on going. This programme will be conducted on the last week of the June break in school for 5 days and we were told in the letter that it cost $400 per kid. However, we do not need to pay a cent, not even from Janelle's edufund. FOC for the selected child but the child has to attend full 5 days else I will have to pay up $400. More like a contract to me when I sign the consent form. Well, at least Janelle will not be idling at home watching TV and creating headache to MIL. Only that have to trouble MIL to send her to and fro to school for the programme in ...

Starts of social networking

Janelle was telling me her classmate is leaving spore to Msia for another boarding school. I think the foreign students do move around very often and thar is what so good about Canossa. The girls get to meet n make friends with different nationality. We were chatting when janelle brot up thar her classmate gave her email address and asking me how to go about it. I told her i can guide her to create her own personal email account so her friends could email her. There after dinner, I got her to think of a nick for her email n after a few tries we finally settle for one that was close to her name n unique enough to remember. I taught her how to create new contact, compose a new mail, setting up signature and what is the meaning of draft and Inbox. She had fun going thru them and started sending love me to me and Law. I pre-configure some emails for her, like shushu, daddy, mine, Mary ah yee, ah yee email. I had never wanted the kids to be too IT Savvy at this young age but basic computer ...

Mummy's favorite

We were at Tampines One and Julian was playing at the interactive directory. There he touch on jewellery section and them a shop name - Lee Hwa Jewellery. There was a short description on the shop with a picture of diamond rings. Julian's immediate response. "Mummy that is your favorite!" 真不愧是知母末若儿呀! 妈妈可爱死宝贝了。

Nice and polite Chinese

Finally I picked up my courage to try the Chinese dish stall just outside The People Park Complex. I choose 2 vege n 1 meat dish last round and was quite like the taste but I have to admit they do contain lots of msg n can be salty but the after effect is quite exciting too cos my tongue was numb. Today I visited the stall again, this time lesser people n the stall attendant who is a young Chinese chap explained to me how they charge and recommend me some of their side dishes. I like their potatoes strips n seaweed. This time I got two packets with combination of kway tiao, potatoes,

I got your message

No one in this world is prefect. No one has a prefect character, prefect temper, prefer feature, prefect outlook, prefect figure. We all have so many imprefection, so that we looked very much a human. I was not prefect too and not a big beauty or good figure and even good temper. I am not a good cook and still trying very hard to improve and please my families. I hope to slim down for my health so I look better and will less worry on what to wear in the morning. You to me are better than myself, U have better temper, U showered me with alot of love and attention, you give in to me most of the time and good looking that contribute to our pretty kids. However, I also understand you do very mind about your appearance especially on your hair. From years back you have being telling me you are considering to implant hair when you see some successful examples from your ex-collick. However, the price to pay for it come in Ks which I think can be channel to a better use. Although you agreed wit...

A healthier Water?

We are looking for a water filteration system for something. The idea triggered when MIL blk water tank gave out a funny taste and the kids couldnt bring themselves to drink it. The family have to surivive with Ice mountain distilled water for a few weeks. This started our journey to search for a relatively good and affordable filteration system for the family. We came across Hyflux, OSIM, Novita and Panasonic and was asking around for their function and pricing. Now we come across this Water filtered System which they claim is product of Singapore at the Singapore Expo Lifestyle exhibition. We decided to give this system a try as they will come over our place to clean and check the system every 2 month and a water test every 6 month. Not only that the parts are replacable FOC during the servicing years.

My $$ is still my $$

I was in the mid to submit my Holiday claimage thru my company Flexible Benefit system online and there an message telling me I could not claim according to my recipt date. To my horror, I checked and double check that my recipt date is still 90 days. So I called my HR personnel to find out what wrong. To my worst nightmare, I was told that I have to submit my claimage before FY10 closure which is end of Mar. As my holiday only commerced in Mid March and I am waiting for my credit card bill to come to see how much I need to claim in Sin dollar and my bill only come after 31 March. HR told me I could claim immediate after I have booked my hotel and not necessary for me to be after my actual holiday and they had sent many reminders on this. I told her that reminder to be served only for staffs who still have the flexi $$ for FY09 which cannot be brought over to the coming FY11 but it should not apply to me as I do not have any $$ for FY09 and my FY10 still could be brot over to FY11.

A True Relationship

Saw this on Lazzie blog and I like what it said. 两个人吵架,先说对不起的人 并不是认输了,并不是原谅了。 他只是比对方,更珍惜这份感情。 Very true when I think back when I having arguement with Law. He is always the one who will give in to me but that doesnt mean I win, he will come back to soothe my heart and make me feel gulity. Clever tactic.

My Mother's Day Treat

Image
I do not wait to be appreciated anymore so for this year I told Law I wanted to be felt appreciated so I asked for treats and present from HIM to help the kids to celebration Mother's Day with me. Vain? Yes I am and I think I have all the rights to do so as I dun think I am a lousy mother to my kids and husband. For present, hubby got me a bright RED Seagate HDD. A very technie present and which I need it in time to store my spilling over number of photos. Hubby brought all of us to Indulge @ Grand Park City Hall for buffet dinner and as I got a bowl of special white fungus sweet dessert only for mother. Both Janelle and Julian were so happy and of the outing. For me, I feel appreciated.

Nice Compliment.

While visiting Tekka market one weekend and busy looking for crab for our feast that night. There was a man couldnt take his eyes off my boy, when I stopped at his stall the 1st thing he asked me was if Julian my son. Of course cos he was sticking to me like a Koala bear, this was the bonding that mother and son has right. He commented that Julian was very handsome and it was rare to see such handsome little boy around. I was flattered by his compliment which he happened to be the boss of the stall. He browsed around the people around me and asked about Janelle and then my youngest sister Mary. Thinking that Mary is also my daughter! OMG, do I look so old or my sister so young or even that I am a young mother who has such a BIG daughter? 我看起来像是一个会是未满年龄未婚先孕而有个像我小妹那麽大的女儿的妈妈吗?我的天啊? 不过还是要谢谢老板对女儿和儿子的赞美。 Last but not the least, he asked how do I managed to have beautiful kids like Janelle and Julian? I did not reply him, deep in me I know the kids inherit most of the good features from Law. ...

Comfort Food

We love visiting Little India cos it is always full of FLAVOURS and one popular hangout is Mustafa Shopping Mall which has so many things to see and it operate 24hours. haha.. Unfortunately, not many friends share the same sentiment as us cos they told me they cannot tahan the smell of little blacks. Infact, if u concentrate on the shopping you wun smell them. Which mean instead of shopping, their nose we working hard otherwise. hahaha.. OK, before or after the shopping Law always like to have a quick bites at this India restaurant just opposite Mustafa shopping Mall. Which restaurant? I cant rbr the name but will update later. Janelle is a big fan for Prata and instead of just plain prata and empty calories we always suggest she take it with egg. She has started to learn to take spicy food but that will take sometime. So now she still has her prata with sugar. A restaurant Prata price cannot be compared with those selling at Kopitam. This prata alone cost $2.50 which is double the pr...
