Hi! Glad you could stop by in our little wee corner in cyber space. Daddy decided that our little homepage needed a bit of an overhaul and so this version was born. Mummy didn’t quite like how troublesome it was to update the last homepage so daddy had little choice but to make this homepage have a blog look and feel to it. Please have a look around as you will find heaps of photos of me and my little brother, Jayden through the various stages of my growth and development. No doubt they will all be embarrasing photos that may potentially haunt me and my brother when we grow up but i guess i will have to allow my parents to get away with it until i grow bigger than them. Please browse around and leave us a note that you were here. If you have cute daughters, please also leave their numbers and / or email address. Thanks!
This Chinese New Year is rather unique as it fell on Feb 14 (yes V-Day) and it added more uniqueness to it for me as Feb 13 is my dearest mummy’s birthday (which is also CNY eve – reunion dinner). I didn’t get so spend these special occasions with my extended family but in Auckland with immediate family and in laws since I was recently back in Asia in Nov/Dec. My initial thought that ushering the New Year will be rather special for I am a Tiger (my Chinese zodiac sign) myself but I have to say I feel rather indifferent. Chinese New Year has always been one of my favourite festive seasons ever since I was a little girl. Read the rest of this entry »
We didn’t think we would make another trip back to Malaysia and Singapore again so soon seeing we visited last November however we only needed very little convincing when we received a wedding invitation held in Taiwan from one of Daddy’s good buddies to pack up the family especially after scoring a good deal on the airfares (while Mummy was hawking the airline sites for weeks) plus the convenience of flying direct via Singapore Airline (and the opportunity to visit the other set of grandparents . Mummy was most excited about this trip as she will get to spend time with her family and she was very eager to meet the new arrival of the family (Baby Kieran), her new little nephew.
Here i was, all geared for a great shopping experience since arriving back in Singapore for a much needed R&R trip and boy did it start off “great”. Jo and I had decided that it would be nice to just hit the shops in the morning to do some retail therapy. This so called retail therapy was drastically cut short once i decided that i would buy a couple more new pairs of swimming trunks in preparation for our trip to Club Med where im expecting to be submerged in a pool most of the time there.
As luck would have it, i walked pass one of the stores i frequent relatively often when im back, which sells all things to do with swimming. Singaporeans it seems, appears to be one of the few populations left in this world that dont shy away from wearing Speedos hence there are plenty of shops selling this stuff. Kiwis on the other hand, find them repulsive. Probably cause most cant fit into them…..or so i thought…
Daddy posted an entry on Jayden just before he turns two and so here is an update from Mummy on what new milestones we have for little Jayden since then…..? He is still going through a mild case of terrible twos but compared to a couple of months ago, I have to say we have seen big improvements. We haven’t seen the act of throwing himself onto the floor much nor the super loud screaming sessions which nothing would appease him either. He is still has his moments though where he pushes our boundaries and bullying his big brother but we get by alright. Read the rest of this entry »
Ever since I got persuaded by the hubby to try converting the ‘not very attractive’ flower bed into a vege patch, exciting results have been witnessed so far. I showed some pictures in my previous posts but here are some updates and one of the long awaited outcomes was the broccoli.
With my first born turning 5 this August, this alone warrants a celebration! We threw him a little birthday do with his good friends. This also means my little baby is starting school! Eeekkksss!!!! It is a lot harder for me than for him to digest this fact I think. Whatever happened to my little boy who I used to chase after to change his diapers, those pitter-patter sound of his little feet coming into my room in the middle of the night sneaking in between me and his daddy insisting to cuddle up and sleeping with us? After a total of 6 school visits he was all eager and keen to finally get his turn to “go school for real” he said.
Jared with his friends at daycare
Since Jared was turning 5 years old, it was finally time for him to move on and start in the big wide world of school. For his last day at the Symond Street daycare, the teachers decided to organize a simple farewell / birthday hunt for Jared.
Here are just some photos i took on his final day at daycare.
Jared's Birthday Party
5 years ago i panicked when Jo had her first contractions when Jared was ready to face the world…..5 years on…im still panicking as my little baby is growing, turning 5 and soon to be attending school! Soon he will bringing girls home…..actually that wouldn’t be so bad but still its too fast!
Admittedly, most of my Me-time (if there was any) is taken up being ‘online’ with me soaking my brain in the bottomless pit of the cyberspace – whether it is personal emails, news, blogs and the popular Facebook. And having a blackberry to supplement my addiction towards IT has without fail made me wonder if it was the right remedy to get a more balance lifestyle. Using IT has become a big part in my work and social life today, with it being the core of my profession plays a big part but I rely on it very heavily in my social and personal life too. I stay connected with my high school friends, my family and relatives who are all around the different parts of the globe. Writing up little posting like this one is another little hobby of mine. With my crazy routine I try to post at least once a month to capture the highlights that went on. Something for me to ponder upon when I am old and crusty or something that my grandkids can read up :p
