Joyful gathering 25 Dec 2009

I'm glad i had a great day this xmas :) So do zhenyu!! He was asking me this morning, when can we go over uncle's place again?? haha..

Princeton boy was quite moody yesterday. Partly bcoz he was too tired, and all of us were enjoying, and nobody accompany him, lol. He could't bear to sleep, as he knew the surrounding was full of fun and laughters. In the end my helper bring him outside for a stroll, and he fell asleep in his pram.

We reached at 1230, and we all leave at 12am! haha... Yesterday was like CNY, as all of us were gambling, HAHA. I bought log cake, pork kuckles n chicken. Turkey was sold out le... disappointed. Sister prepared beef pasta... there were too much food, and i over ate again :( Uncle william prepared the all time fav red wine cocktail. Zhenyu and siyong drank until their face were all blush!!

During cny, uncle william family will usually go overseas for holiday. If next yr, they are not going, then i guess we will go over their place again!! hehe.. Uncle william bought a big present for Princeton boy!!! An electronic keyboard! Princeton will love music and he will love piano :) Thanks uncle and aunt, love u all so much! They bought a bodyshop lotion and a Reebok Polo shirt for me and zy :)

Hope to have a gathering soon, looking forward to see u all again.

Princeton 2009 first xmas present

Today sister and jie fu came over for dinner. They bought him a xmas present... a lego set!! hee.. though Princeton boy had a similar set, but its okie, he got more things to stack up!!

He was sad when sister left... wanna followed along. Tmr i'll be going to Woodlands branch. But next year onwards, i'll be posted to Bishan!! *Faint* My district manager's decision. Its a long story, so i'll just leave it to fate. Since he had assured me the things that i wanted. Though distance is indeed a big barrier for me, i'll have to overcome it :( Zhenyu said he'll drive me to cck mrt every morning, i'll just need to take 10 more stops to reach my destination.

Xmas is coming, zhenyu had given me half of his salary plus bonus as a gift. hee... so tat i can buy the things i like, esp clothes! Of course i saved some into my personal saving as well. I bought him a running shoes for him to lose some weight :p

Xmas is always a gathering with our love ones. This year we will spend our xmas eve in church, and xmas day with my uncle family! I will buy xmas log cake and turkey or ham. Sister will prepare beef pasta... haha. Princeton will get to eat with us. Hope everyone of us can spend our xmas with our love ones!

Growing up Princeton...

Its a rainy sat, Princeton is having his nap now. He slept for an hour plus le, going to wake him up soon :p Will be bringing him to church later, hopefully the rain will stop later, dun wanna my boy to catch a flu.

He grew taller, but his weight remains the same. His appetite increased, and he is becoming even more active. Every afternoon, my helper would bring him for a brisk walk downstairs. We taught him to climb up and down the staircase, and he could do it one week later!! We are so glad :) He could eat by himself now, though its kind of messy. Princeton boy no longer use the baby cot, he sleeps on the mattress with my helper or on my bed. Last week, he dozed off on my bed while watching his fav Barney dvd. haha.

Next year march, he will be going to school!! I cannot imagine Princeton wearing uniform, haha!! Must be very funny. Need to set aside his school fees every month, so i got to work hard in my sales! Tmr dearie is having duty, so he can't join my gathering with my navy friends le. I will bring Princeton as well as my helper along lol.

NExt monday 21st dec, will be my graduation day. My training course is coming to an end. I had planned a xmas dinner celebration with my coursemates!! GOing for japanese cuisine, and ktv after that. We will be separated, and i would miss all their laughters and crap jokes...

Wasted weekend

Yesterday i missed out the clubbing nite with my coursemates... as i'm feeling unwell. haiz.. in the afternoon we went to Queen and Mangosteen, which is now my fav drink out place at Vivocity. Though i'm not a gd drinker, i just love the cocktail Pimms & Lemonade, haha.

Went home and rest after sch, then woke up at 9plus. Zhenyu brought me for late dinner, after that we went to NTUC extra at JP. Bought too many things, but these are neccessities. Diapers, milk power, wet tissue, Rice, detergents, canned food, shampoo etc. Cost 200plus!! We also bought a plastic container for Princeton to arrange his toys after his playtime.

TOday, zhenyu needs to go back camp. Will be back only after 8pm.. Princeton is taking his nap now. Perhaps later i'll bring him out on my own to Jurong Point. He is curious to take public transport. His foot is getting slightly bigger, so i got to buy new pair of shoes for him.

LAst night after we came back, i can't sleep, so i watched some movies. "The Unfaithful" was one of them. This is an old show, i wanted to watch again, as the morale of the story was great. One stupid mistake would lead to lifetime regret. But apparently, for some ppl, one thousand mistakes also feel NO regrets, NOT remorseful AT ALL. You think that only friends can be forever???!!! But when you need help, n when you need $$$, you realised not a damn idiot can help you. I felt so pitiful for you...

Anyway, somethings are too late for correction. Just make sure the road u r about to choose is the right path. If your mindset is wrong, nothing right will come out from it.

Relaxing Day

Today suppose to be self study in sch.. But my paper ended earlier, so i stay at home today. Last nite slept very late, watch movie The Proposal. Indeed a good show!! At least i laughed!! FUnny and entertaining.

Next week, we will be having Mortgage Exams, 2hours paper. The tutorial will be held next week, so not possible to study inadvance. Xmas is coming, which means a series of gathering will be coming out too! Wish that i can balance out my schedule between my family and friends. Dearie is ok with anywhere, as long as got program, haha. He likes my circles of friends, he enjoy their companion too. As long as don't throw him alone at home can le :p

Princeton is ready to go to school next year in March. Yeah. I had registerd for him at Presbyterian Child Care Centre at Jurong West. Its very near my inlaws place. This centre is having its renovation end of the year. So feb, march will be just the right time to be there. The school fees are slightly higher, coz it is 1 teacher to 6/7children. My main motive is to let Princeton to have more chances to interact with little children. To learn to be independent, and to be obedient. At home he always think he is the King, let him suffer outside, learn how to survive without us pampering him.

Tian Tian is a good boy, at times he can be very naughty. He picks ppl... he sees ppl. He bully maid, bully ah ma. But hubby will be very fierce to him.. scold him until his whole face sooooo sad, tears in the eyes. Then act kelian. Overall, he still got hope la, haha. SOme kids r simply hopeless. My uncle and sister reminded me, must start to discipline him right now, if not in future, no matter how harsh you can be, its totally useless. SO next year, his birthday present will be a cane.

SO, good luck boy.

Exams Over!

Yes! My agony ended on the 4th dec 2009 5.00pm! haha.... sounds exaggerating, but these two weeks really had been a mental stress period for me. 17 internal tests, one grand presentation and 4 major exams! I'm glad i had cleared it all..... though there will be a few more internal tests next week, but at least the exams are over!

My papers were all cramped together in alternate days, quite impossible to study everything. Unless you are a genius, or you don't sleep. Obviously, i belonged to the second group. With the help of oolong tea brought by zhenyu, and chicken essence brought by mummy, i managed to complete most of my revision. Wana thank sister for coaching me some of the calculations portion, wanna thank my coursemate Gerry for giving me accurate tips on one of the module. Of course my friends who encouraged me, yeah! Xie xie ni men......

Most imptly, is zhenyu, who is lonely and boring for these 2weeks, haha.. During my self study period, he accompany Princeton at the living room and watch movies alone in his room. But don't worry, we will enjoy weekend again!

Tmr we are going to uncle william's house, after that will go for church service. If not we will go east coast park for a stroll. I wanna meet up many of my friends, miss them soooo much!!!! I got to see May, jas they all last week, but wanna find one day to visit gladys. I miss my poly gals too! Long time no catch up, will see u all on the 13th dec ya. Not forgetting my navy guys, when can we mit up again??? With tat busy lawyer john? Oh ya, and my biao mei, she dated me twice, but i was busy. Shall date her out next week!

Xmas is coming, so is new year.... and den very soon will be my birthday. Means very soon i'll be 28!! Oh no! Must maintain x2... i wanna ppl continue to comment i look like 22,23. haha. First thing is a woman must look slim ---> younger, and therefore fat ---> older. Second, woman's complexion must be good ----> young, so bad complexion ---> look old. Thirdly ---> woman must be relatively small size, means not very tall, coz tall = big size = fat = old. I'm saying generally, pls don't quote my words. So, i belonged to the tall category, tat one i cannot change. What i can change is to loose some weight, go for facial treatment, be serious about my diet. HAHA!!

Princeton had a bad fall yesterday, cried so badly. He likes to walk around drinking his straw water bottle. So yesterday afternoon, he walk/run around with his mouth biting the straw bottle. Bump! he trip and fall, and that straw poke his cheeks! Even a plastic straw can be so dangerous! I did told my helper that never let him walk drinking water like this, but she never listen, in the end Princeton really fall! Damn angry.. But actually children fell down is very common, so long they don't hurt their head. We can't be possibly 24hrs watching them.

My career path...

2010 will be a challenging year for me. It will be a turning point of my career, as i'm moving on from a service staff to a Relationship Manager.

Yesterday, DBS had its 3rd quarter Townhall prize presentation at Shenton Way. I was surprised that i was in the top 3 performance. I was at the training centre, how come still have prize for me again?? Anyway, its another trophy, no $$$.

But there was another piece of good news. I am qualified for the Japan Trip next year! Is yet to be confirmed, but my name was in the listing. Hubby was happy for me, and said that he will buy himself a ticket too if i'm really going :)

I don't know if i can do well in sales, but i will try my best. We decided to postpone our bb plan 6months later, as i need some energy for a good start. I met some of our district manager yesterday, and was glad that they already knew me. My branch manager cannot believe i'm 27! haha... He thought i was a fresh grad. I didn't tell him i had a son :p For him to find out bah.

New position, new environment. Temptation is to be avoided, not to be resist. During my training, i have a few coursemates who are very gentlemen, and gd looking too. One of them actually drove me to shenton way yesterday. But no worries, i'm not like those woman, who are married, and yet can have boyfriends. They belongs to shameless slut group, and retribution will come very soon. I can have many guy friends, but as long as they cross their boundaries, i'll automatic avoid them. Thats y, my hubby have 100% confident in me :)

Ten more days

Next tuesday will be my biggest presentation in my life. So call my validation whereby a live video recorder is infront of me. This validation is very different from the past, as our sales process had been refined, and everything becomes so complicated!!

This is not my biggest nightmare. My terror starts on the 25th Nov, which is like 10days later!!!!!!!!!! I'm not prepared, i'm not ready. This is not me.... i have to buck up and study this weekend. But at the same time, i wish to bring Princeton out for his playtime. Perhaps tmr morning, i'll wake up earlier for my revision, then in the afternoon we'll go for the church service. Evening time can bring him to the park for a walk (he will love it)!

Sister wanna my helper to clean up her house on sunday. So most likely, sunday i'll bring my helper over her place, den bring tian tian to east coast park. My mum is having her singing competition that evening. So we had promise to support her.... that goes my sunday! 24hours is not enough for me.. i'm so dead.

Last 2 nites, i can't really sleep well. Worrying...... not for my exams, but for my uncle who is now at China. I hope everything is smooth for him, and i pray hard for his speedy recovery. We love him, and so do God. The first thing i wanna to do after my exams, is to see him. God, please give him the strength, the faith, the power to pull through. Amen.

Finally i could blog!

Hi, I'm back.... after MIA for 2weeks! Serious, for the past 2 weeks, i didn't have a chance to on my computer. As i was too busy with my internal tests. Everyday i had to sit for at least 2 papers! Stress of course.... and thank God, i had cleared all my LIPSA (Life insurance test), now still left with my Investment test :(

25th of Nov will be the beginning of my exams. The main nightmare (sweat)... And from now till the end of the month, my schedule of all weekends are 100% packed. Too many events to attend, and i got to note it down on my calender! For me, gatherings are important, as far as possible, i will try to attend. Esp, wedding, full month celebration, etc. "Exams coming, i cant make it....." are only excuses, which i cannot accept. People are not asking you to attend the function for 24hours, stay there and eat until at night. Is just a happy event which they hope we can share the joy together.

For the past two weeks, my routine of life is to wake up at 5am, shower, prepare and go for my lesson. Some days Zhenyu could drive me to east side, then we had breakfast together. By the time i reach home is about 7pm.... accompany Princeton boy till 10.30pm, then i start my revision..... till 12.30! During weekends, sat and sun are our precious time with Princeton. We brought him to East Coast Park for a stroll, to the Church Nursery.

Darling baby had a great improvement since my last updates. He could walk by himself now. He could point at objects, when i asked him where is your Dog? Your plate? Shoes,Water, Light, Ball, Car,and Barney!! He could point at daddy, mummy, ah ma and auntie! Though he couldn't talk, but he understands.

Whenever we said gai gai (shopping), he would look for his shoes and try to wear them. Very funny :) He knew the word "NO". When he feel unsecured, he will pull my hair! (ouchs) But he dont do it purposely, he just don't feel safe. Everyday, he wanna walk to my neighbour's house, and play with the other two children.

Tmr is my fav day, sat. Will be attending Jimmy's wedding at City Harvest. Then follow by the church service there. Sunday will be Michelle's daughter full month celebration. Will go and accompany Princeton now. Hubby bought tickets for the 11.30pm show. Horror movie (sian).... only he will enjoy lol.

My rest days

Last week had been a very tiring week for me. My schedule was packed and my lesson was like 25 chapters a day! I really don't know how am i going to read all... (burn & drink)

Yesterday and today, i didn't go for my tutorial... haha... bcoz i had passed the basic insurance already. Actually even if we had passed, we still need to sit in, and do self study. Nah... waste my time, i rather study at home, so i took MC lol.

But yesterday i had alot of things to do, no much time to study too. Took my helper for medical check up, and went to the bank and open an account for her. After that, brought Princeton boy to our family doctor again.... sad.... his flu comes back again.

Today, after Princeton had his porridge, i took him to Jurong Point! Yes, only me alone... without my helper, without a car. We took a bus! This was my first time bringing Princeton out to a shopping centre, and this was his first time taking a bus. He was well behave, looking around but hugged me closely. We went for an hour plus, den took a cab home. hee...

Later in the evening, i gota attend an award presentation at The Cathay near Plaza Singapura. Actually, i don't feel like going, thinking of seeing the ppl who dislike me, makes me feel its a waste of time. But my ex manager insist that i go and collect the award personally. Hubby said he will drive me there, encourage me to go. Haiz... after i took my prize, i'll surely throw smoke ball and go home! Not very fantastic award, why must make until so grand?

Celebrated my mum's birthday on the 20th oct tuesday. As usual, we will bring mummy to have a good dinner. I hope i can give her better life, and i wanna bring her for holiday next year. I pray that she will stay healthy and happy always.

Friday finally!!

My legs are aching, so do my back. Lousy me... Been travelling to bedok every morning since wed. With my new pair of shoes and new sets of clothes. I don't feel comfortable of course, but i had no choice.
I get to know two new friends, vicki and esther. We hit off so well the first time we met. Esp vicki, as she's only one year younger than me, and her thinking was so mature. She was one of the lady i've known, who i classified as knowlegable woman. Her husband had a car company, and she helped him in doing sales. Her car knowledge is incredible. Wat she said to me are exactly wat my uncle told me. One theory that i remember is, Never loan a car for 10 years, and Never loan it 100%. Because you will make a loss at least 10-15k if u sell the car in the future. Don't ever think that, its ok, i will drive till it breaks even. Because by then, your car will have no much value. Vicki told me, Never buy a korean car...... hmm.. well, for me, as long as its a new car, i'm ok with it! But again i'm so wrong! She said, we don't neccessary need to buy a first hand car, esp when we are unable to make a lump sum down payment. A second hand car, which is 2years old is as gd as a new one. And one last theory, Never never wear a BIG hat, if u don't have a BIG head. If i'm only earning 3k a month, and if i would to purchase a 7 seater car now, is a very foolish thing to do. Unless i am able to make a 40% - 50% down payment, and my loan period is less than 7 years, then its a different story.

Being with people like her, makes me feel very valuable. I don't know why, i just felt that way. Even though she is well to do, She don't like to show off, she don't like compare. She praise others who is better than her in some ways, unlike people who could be jealous of others.

Her problem sum solving was superb... Today was our first lesson on statistic, she could get the grib of it in five mins. I don't think i'm slow, but i need about 30mins to understand it, coz its really not simple. Working with people like her can really motivate me. She is rich, damn rich. But she is humble. She is thrifty as well, and remind me e opportunity costs of buying a car. I should use the cash for investment. I hope to have a nice car, but have to wait till my trading account earns me extra income!

Its sat tmr, and i'm glad i do not need to work on sat for two months! Sat and sun will be my precious time with Roderick and Princeton. Hubby had plans for these two days, and i knew it would be a fruitful one!

Tiring week

It was a very busy week for me... no off no rest day, no time to blog. Every day after work, dearie will come n fetch me with Princeton, and we will bring our boy to his fav playground at the shopping centre near my workplace.

Today hubby is on duty, so me and tian tian gona stay at home. Yesterday we attended my aunt's husband 70th birthday with my mum. Well, it was kind of far, but i wana accompany my mum. In the end hubby and i were too busy entertaining Princeton, no time to eat, lol. The place was rather hot as it was a coffee shop owned by my aunt's elder son. Princeton hold daddy's left hand and run about. He could oni walk afew steps on his own. Dot dot.



My cousins commented that Princeton look alot like me! yeah... and said he look more like my brother than like my son. Of course im happy :) Zhenyu was envy, he asked me why nobody ever say he look young, haha! I told him because of your diet!! Meat 100%, chilli 100% soft drink and coffee 100%.

Next wed onwards i'll move on to another path of my career. Anybody have any idea how to take public transport to siglap learning centre?? After i alight at bedok MRT, wat bus number must i take? I've got to travel all the way east for 3 months! This will be a big task for me. I think i can stay over at sis's place temporary. haha.... free accomdation :p

Too much thoughts..

These few days were my off days. Dear managed to take half day leave yesterday, and we went for movie "Accident". Not bad, but kindof draggy, and i thought the climate should be better.

Just finished watching the most grand wedding celebration of Fann and Chris. It was indeed beautiful! A woman's dream to have such a wedding :) Though a big part of it was being sponsored, but so wat...??? Its still their wedding! But of course like jimmy said, no matter how grand your wedding can be, but its the blissful road that counts. I agreed with him. But for those who dont even have a nice wedding, and yet broken marriage then i think both parties should really reflect on themselves. And i seriously think that these people, be it man or woman who commits adultery will be cursed with broken marriage for the rest of their life. They will never never find a good partner. This is a curse! Not only that, their retribution will continue to their children. This is the cause and effect.

Some times i feel "unbalance", coz im too upset. Feel damn unfair. I believe God has eyes. These people will be haunt forever. Remember the next time when YOU sleep with the other person, make sure is not a ghost!

Holidays family programs

Last weekend passed very fast. Sat we took Princeton boy to the church nursery @ expo, after that we spent the whole night with sis and jie fu at their house. As hubby wanna watch soccer lol... He was so delighted as his fav team won. dot dot.. I used to watch soccer in the past, but no longer now.

Sunday, dearie accompany me to JP, shop for clothes. Then we went to our fav dessert place. Attended Ray's full month celebration at Royal @Queen's hotel. I like the food! Although it was a vegetarian feast, but the food was great. haha.... perhaps i seldom have the chance to try vegetarian cuisine.

Monday which was yesterday, was Sharon's wedding day. We witnessed her church wedding ceremony... it was sooo romantic. I always believe a couple must have a common belief, it is so important as a religion can either bond u together, or tear u apart. It may sound exaggerated, but scary to say, its true.

Princeton boy enjoyed these few days. He had more or less recovered, but still had a little bit of cough, esp when he screamed! While he was in the nursery, we leave him with the rest of the little kids, and he was very ok with it! He was trying to communicate with people. There was one boy, same month as Princeton, hugged Princeton, hugged until both fell down. The scene looked like that boy actually pinned down Princeton. lol... Princeton was stunned... but he did not cry, he was just blurred and i went to him immediately. Hold Princeton boy tight, make sure his friend won't push him again. haha. Wait till my boy can walk, then challenge again. keke..

It was a happy weekend, as i always wanted. With family, with friends. With Princeton, with Roderick. Today is tuesday, a smooth day :) Hubby and i are planning wat to do for this coming weekend again, yeah!

Gathering with my poly friends!!

Really glad that we had a full attendance last evening! Just a pity Princeton boy and hubby couldn't join us, just my boy is still not feeling well. Cough and flu plus the coming up of one tooth, made him moody for the past few days.

Its sunday again, hubby is not at home with us, as he had duty. haiz... seldom sunday me and Princeton will cope at home. I was tired though, perhaps will go for foot massage later.

I had a good nite sleep, Princeton boy slept well too :) Yesterday had a gathering with my poly friends cum jasmine who is one of our click too. Dinner at The Sizzler, chat till they closed, wahaha. Then we proceed to Starbucks to continue the second part. So happy we could catch up again, although i have sooo many things to chat with each of them. Maybe next time i will date each of them out individually.

Miss poly days... where its so relax and fun doing projects. You know my team mates are really the best and unforgetable one. Jean just mentioned yesterday that we knew each other for almost a decade! wow!

I would never forget the time i had with them. Where my brother had passed away, and how they took down the lecture notes for me, and going through the pain together. They knew my brother too as we are all in the same polytechnic.

Always love to gossip with them, each of them are soo unique that i so like to click with them. See if i could arrange a ktv outing, force all of them to go! hee..

Princeton is still coughing, but fever had subsided. Hope he can recover fast as we had programs for the next weekend!

Hang out @ Causeway Point

Slept till 12noon den i woke up.. yawn... As Princeton Boy did not sleep well last nite. Hubby and i took him to Westmall for dim sum, then head to causeway point for shopping.

Had been a long time since we shop at CP. No much changes there, just tat i never been to the Kiddy Palace outlet. It was bigger than Jurong Point! We bought a Barney DVD for Princeton boy, and he is watching right now. MIL called hubby at about 7plus, told us to go over as she brewed some bird nest for us.

Princeton gets to have the best share, MIL specially made for him (no sugar, no syrup), coz he was still coughing. Hope he can fully recover soon.

We always treasure weekends. Its always best if we can spend everyday/ every hour with Princeton, but its not possible. Luckily Princeton sticks to me rather than my helper. Yeah.. If i say bye bye to him and walk away, he'll cry for me :p So i told hubby, sat and sun we will not bring our helper out. And he also agreed, coz he could see the effect.

Hopes Princeton boy will have goodnite sleep today.

Indecisive

Most of the time, hmm.. i should say i'm a decisive person. Be it shopping for clothes, bags, computers, watever u can name. I don't really go around comparing prices, quality etc. As long as i like it, and its within my means, i just buy it. Same goes for facial packages, foot reflexolgy, if the service is good, when they asked me to renew, i'll just say ok.

I'm not rich definately, neither am i a spendthrift person. I just don't like to spend too much time on one small little thing. Princeton's necessities for example, i always buy it at NTUC. Bcoz its convenient. Take, buy and go. Where some of my friends would know where to get cheaper stuffs at different places, n of course they can save quite alot.

Now at this very moment, i'm face with a very difficult choice. To stay at branch to do my usual job, to stay at my comfort zone, and to face that fatso?? Or to accept my manager's offer for my career advancement?? Pros n cons, and its not easy. Once the decision is made, there's no turning back. Really headache.

Today brought Princeton boy to jurong point for dinner. Bought an air purifier for him, as i wanted to buy it long time ago, but did not see any good ones. The promoter told me babies should avoid sleeping in air-con room, as it will affect their breathing as they grow older. I told her my boy only sleep with fans on, and she said i can buy this air purifier so that it will help to kill germs. Princeton was coughing these few days, and so the more reason i have to buy it.

Met my colleague and her son. haha... her son loves Princeton sooo much. Kept on hugging and touch Princeton's face. He said to his mummy "the baby soo cute, i want a didi mummy". We all laughed.

Hope Princeton boy will tell me he wants a mei mei :p

Princeton Boy getting out of hand ...

Everyone loves our darling sweet sweet baby, pamper him.. kiss him, play with him, feed him. Give him everything he wants. So now he thinks he is the King.

My mum, aka Mama, ranks number one who pampered him. So Princeton boy though naughty, but every clever. The moment i scold him and look at him with a stern look, he will be scared and hide behind mama or my helper. But i'm not fierce enough, sometimes he will stil think i'm playing with him, haiz.

Princeton recently likes to play with food. Be it using his hands, or the food inside his mouth. *Headache* I guess the older a child is, the more difficult it is for us to handle.

There was a few times when Princeton pull my hair, hubby scolded him (abit loud). He stood still, after tat cry baby. But the way he cried also quite funny *wink*.. Princeton hugged me immediately, of course i carried him n sayang him. One gd thing about my little Prince is, he cried and smile back fast. haha!

Oh no.. must think of a strategic to deal with tis "tyrant"!

How do u determine your life partner???

Love at first sight? Yes i believe.. marriage soon after love at 1st sight?? Then most likely you will end up in a broken relationship. The things that i was about to say, is just my own thoughts. If any of the cases happpened to be similar of yours, it is merely a coincidence.


I would not dare to say i'm very good in choosing a guy. But at least until now, i still think its a right choice. No one is perfect. But that doesn't mean you can just pick some Tom and Lily as your life partner. Alot of us have many suitors, but how many of them are quality ones??


What is the first thing that ever cross your mind when choosing your MR Right? Looks? Chemistry? Wealth? Family background? Character?


Yes... all of the above are important. I can't say which one come first is more important. You will have to weigh it youself... People who date for quite some time, BUT rush into marriage, into having babies, most likely they will end up into cold wars. Which means when they gets older, they simply have nothing to chat with each other, find it pointless to talk anymore.


People who rush into datings then marriage, needless to say, most of it are ruin cases. Of course there are exceptions. But i believe we don't like to take chances.


Those who are choosing ur Mr Right now. Remember one simple logic: Choose someone who loves u more than u love him. 1% more is gd enough.


I cannot understand why some girls just love bad guys. Those people, u see his face u know is a piece of junk. If He cannot treat u like a queen now during dating times, how do u expect him to treat u after marriage???

There are too much for me to say. Just hope those who are dating, can open your eyes to see, open your heart to feel. Still unsure, bring that guy to me, i tell you if he is the one. Hey im not teasing, i can't really see if He's good. But i definately can SEE if He's BAD!!

Happy birthday 姐夫！

Today we went over to sis's place to have a mini celebration for siyong... sis and jiefu bought some dim sum, and we had lunch at home. After that watch dvd together :)

Sister and siyong planning to go HK soon. So envy... haha... and November they're going Taiwan. wow... rich sia. Hope they have fun!

Yesterday (sat), dearie and i bought Princeton boy to Takashimaya.. Finally i finished using up all my vouchers already, hee... We went Pasta Cafe for dinner. Our boy was very well behaved, sat down in the baby chair and listening to our chit chat conversation. He was ok for an hour, but mayb i ate too slow le, Princeton began to make noise and so hubby had to carry him and walk around.

Tmr is monday again, blues. Hope sat will come fast!

Events for the week...

Back from Genting trip, haha... fun trip. But as usual no winnings in casino. Both of us spend one whole day at the theme park. The flying roller coaster and corkscrew 360 degree thrill rides were great!

The next day when we got back, we brought Princeton to Science Centre. Me blur sotong, left the camera at home... Princeton enjoyed the trip, just tat he was terrified when he saw the T- Rex. Haha. The following day, we went discovery centre... nah.. nothing fantastic there. Today meet sis and jie fu to Great World City for lunch. Princeton was delighted to see ah yee and ah tio. He was indeed tired, but forgets about his nap while he was busy playing :)

We went over cousin Anson's place just now. To see his newborn baby boy! Sooo red and cute. haha.. wanna carry, but he was sleeping soundly.

Tmr dearie wanna bring us to the Zoo. Pray for good weather... gona wake up early, if not the noon sun will kill me. Tuesday will go sentosa. Wed botanic garden! Lets make things happen!

First Day of my Block Leave

Today marks the first day of block leave.. Meet up with sis and jie fu for dinner. Spend our evening at their house. Tmr hubby n i have to wake up at 5am. Shower, make up, prepare for our short journey to Genting.

The bus will leave at 7am sharp, so gota reach on time. A short break for the two of us.. although i'll be missing my son soooo much. Sister once told me, the most important for a couple is communication. Couple needs to communicate with each other at least 1 hour per day?? (Quality ones) like 7500 words per week?? Can't really rem the exact figures... In summary, we need to chat and interact daily. Just like old times during our dating days.

Princeton boy loves to do gymnastics pattern recently. And he can call hubby now.. we are sure this is not his baby language. Bcoz he looked at his daddy, and mouthed "da da". Not one time, but several times. When he wants ppl to carry, he'll say " bao bao"... and both arms up. but so sad... mummy so difficult to say :(

Its ok, i'm not sad la, as long as Princeton kiss me everyday. haha.. I'm sure Princeton will still rem me, even though he can't see me for 3days. When we come back, we have all day programs just for u my precious! Wish daddy and mummy gd luck for our Genting trip!

I love Family outing

Last saturday, as planned, zhenyu and i went takashimaya with Princeton. The Toy Fair was still on. We bought 3 big items for Princeton, and luckily we managed to carry it home. Walk around at Ion Orchard, wow.. nice place. We shopped till 11.30pm.. Princeton don't feel abit tired, busy looking around.

Just celebrated hubby's birthday on sunday, tat was National Day. And it was an unforgettable one. We spent one whole day with uncle william, aunt sharon and candice. Zhenyu was really happy, can even see him smile when he sleep that night, haha. Thanks so much Uncle william! I know u must be tired out... coz the next day we actually slept throughout the afternoon!

Today the meeting ends at 8.30pm... just had some playtime with my little boy, and he is getting very mischievous. I threw the ball to him, he threw back at me! He can even threw faster than me. Anyhow throw, then laughed happily.

Tmr i'm on leave again. Funny rite? Being forced to take leave again. Next week, i'll stay away from the bank for ten whole days. yeah! Though i kept complaining about my job, but to be frank, i did my best in my everyday work. Today my district manager came to the branch for briefing. He gave me a service award certificate. The headline of our newsletter for this quarter is.... me. As i am lucky to achieve the top sales staff. Of course i'm happy, but i'm not contented. Just hope to go further than that.

Waiting for this weekend to go east coast! Looking forward to sat n sunday every wk :)

On leave @ home

These few days were rather busy at work. Felt some unhappiness with the management as well. And not to mention that barking fatso cum messy hair cum smelly pig is stepping my toe again.

Was told to clear my leave today, i'm ok with it, wanna have a gd rest. Woke up at 10am, Princeton was playing inside his playland already... He woke up 8am every morning. I accompany him to play, and was surprised to see he had learnt some new skill. This boy actually can climb down from my bed himself! Not the platform bed, but the one inside my room. I thought it would be too high for him, but he could do it. My mum said, he knew it long ago lo... just that we must be ready to support him in case he fall backward.

He can walk very fast with his toy car. But simply don't wish to walk by himself. haiz... When hubby said clap clap, bye bye, Princeton will do it. He can now said PA PA, MA MA, very clearly. BUT, sorry, he is not calling us. dot dot..

This is just his baby language. When he wanna eat, he will say "mum mum". When he happy, he will say many different kinds of things. But it's okie, every baby learn at their own pace. The more u hurried them, the slower they are.

My block leave is coming. Will be going genting with dearie.. Wind down awhile, spend some quality time together. Only 3days, cannot be longer, coz we'll miss our Princeton sooooo much. Wanted to bring him along, but dearie said Princeton is still having slight cough, so better not. Moreover in genting, alot of idiots are smoking everywhere.

We had plans for these whole week. When we came back from genting, we will bring Princeton to the ZOO, the next day Sentosa, and east coast cycling! These are our goals to achieve. And yes, it will only be the 3 of us, my helper will be at home. We don't wish to rely too much on her, anyway i have no problem to take care of Princeton alone.

Tmr, we'll be to orchard takashimaya. Heard there's a toy fair, and i have 250 vouchers yet to spend. My living room is already full of Princeton's toy. haha.. abit messy is ok, as long as the area is clean.

Princeton is taking his nap nw, i'll also take mine, hee..

Dim Sum @ RedStar Resturant

Planned this gathering about two weeks ago. Junjie suggested to go Redstar for dim sum, we all love it. But unfortunately, something crops up, so he and joey can't join in with their little man.. :(

We had a full lunch, quite alot of different dim sum. But we din manage to try all. So i guess we'll go there again the next time! Princeton was sleepy.. but saw Uncle Danny, forgotten about his nap! He kept looking at Danny, after that danny tried to carry him, and little princeton was ok with it! Perhaps the environment was cooling and the place smell nice lol.

We ate till 3pm, then head to china square Han's Restaurant. Had some drinks and cakes. haha... these ppl not full enough. There's alot of things to catch up, chat till 7pm! Princeton also had his nap there.. He slept about one and a half hour, had his porridge, then we left together. Wat a coincidence, guess wat! We met Junjie and joey at the car park. Oh my, its fated.. haha. RedStar and China Square were two different places, and yet we could still bump into each other! hee.. Joey very slim le, pretty mum.

After that, dearie and i brought Princeton to Jurong Point for dinner. We had subway.. on diet, ate too much this afternoon. My sweet sweet boy still energetic, so we went to ntuc top up some milk powder, diapers, and baby bites. My son don't look as tired as me lol.. He was laughing all the way in the car while going home. After washing up, he had his milk. Now sleeping soundly in his baby cot le. Sweet dreams darling.

Wat a day with hubby, tian tian and friends!

New Floor Mat

Yeah... i'm in gd mood today, coz tmr is my off day. haha... and aso bcoz Princeton new floor mat is here. thks to my best pal who intro me the floor mat. Little tian tian loves it!

Not cheap i agreed, but the quality is there. Hubby was saying Princeton can even sleep inside his playground. Its indeed comfortable. Tmr im going to sleep til 12pm. but i think 8am my son will knock at my door already.

My block leave is coming, 17 August to 27th. Hope to enjoy these ten days. Been a long time since i saw jaden and delroy.. mayb tis sun ask May n jas go over and find gladys! I also wanna make a point to meet up my poly gals... alamak... when can we go ktv with full attendance leh. Be prepared to see my msg soon:)

Life is short, and yet we always make a fuss out of nothing. Hate him, dislike her, frustrated tis and angry tat. Think about it, watever u are angry or upset abt it, does it matter or bother u in 5years time??? If no, why do u bother now?

When i was young, i mean 15, 16 yrs old. I often quarrel with my sis. Then i get very sad.. cry, curse and swear. But come to think abt it, really very stupid. Of course now we are the closest sister in the world! Fighting among siblings/ family members are part and puzzle of life. But since we are adult now, we should really change our attitude. Lets work towards World Peace :p This is wat we all want, rite?

Tay Princeton Happy 14 months!

Had a long day at work... meeting ended at 8pm. shag.. Skipped my dinner, just to rush home to see my little boy. Princeton seems to be waiting for me, and i really miss him alot! Hug him once i reached home. Brought him into dearie's room, i too a quick shower while dearie accompany him.

Princeton always will sit and wait for me outside the bathroom. Whenever he see me brushing my teeth, he'll find it very amusing. haha.. after that we sang him songs :) Today is his 14 months, time flies! but hor, this tian tian still can't walk on his own. lol... although he had no prob walking with the "walk n push" toy stand.

I wanna thank my mum for taking care of Princeton, always giving him the best. She bought all the ingredients that baby eats for his porridge. Fish, vege, scallop, potato, corn, brown rice. Thanks mummy! She loves Princeton more than anyone of us. When Princeton grows up, he'll loves grandma more than us, yeah.

I hope tmr will be a smooth day, n fri will be my off day! Sat will be meeting up my ex navy friends. Will get to see Junjie's little man, Lewis. My surrounding friends are all having sons.. ha.. hope my second one will be a girl. We got her name ready le. hee... kia su :p

Princeton loves piggyback!

Had a slack day at work... but tired, as i slept quite late last nite. Took leave tmr to accompany my little Prince, yeppy.. Actually there was an empty slot for tmr, and my officer asked me to clear leave. She said i have too many days left. I wanted to rest too, so agreed lol.

But a pity dearie cannot off tmr, he had to work. After work, as usual we went home to see Princeton. We played with him, and his favourite move is to climb behind my back. Hubby asked me to put Princeton behind his back instead, and he gave baby a piggyback! Princeton laughed so happily... he enjoyed that!

Princeton boy grew two new teeths, and now he have 8teeths. Sometimes he will bite me and he giggled, lol.. Dearie and i treasure our boy alot. Just like all other parents, esp when this is our first child. So at times, i might neglect dearie. Many times i will nag at him, quarrel bcoz of tian tian. This is common, but i think this shouldn't be the way. Dearie suggested to have a short break, for the both of us only. Mayb a trip to bali, genting or macau? But i will definately miss my Princeton alot. haiz.... wat should i do leh.

One of my friend asked me, how would u rate ur husband? hmm.. i told her ok lor, 7/10. She was astonished, and asked me not 10/10?? I told her cannot give full marks la, there's always room for improvement. Zhenyu only spend time with us, family... and of course with our friends. We have common friends luckily. He never go out with people i don't know or i never seen b4. And one thing, he is thrifty, unlike me, hee.. But yet, he always make me angry. I don't know why. He likes to talk back at me, and likes to joke around. Cannot stand. Coz when i am serious, and he thinks is funny, i will be angrier. He is happy go lucky type, so quite different from me. And one more thing, he likes to imitate what i say, and my tone of voice! Buay tahan. Then when im really angry, i shouted. Then he say i'm petty. Faint...

I hope i can be more tolerant, take things easier.. but is only towards him i tend to get very impatient. Next time hope Princeton please don't ally with daddy..

Little Tian Tian is down with Cough... haiz..

A not so blue monday. Things were quite smooth today, thank God. But my little Rongtian was coughing badly for the past few days. Brought him to the doc last wed, but he was stil coughing with alot of phlegm.

He spread the cough and flu to me, i was sick last week too.. But recovered already. Whereas my little boy got worse. So we brought him to the doc again. Hope he can get well soon lol. Princeton boy still very active even though when he was sick. Some kids are like that... I have a friend, Yvoone, her javier was sick also, i hope he is recovering now.

Princeton boy understands wat is going on now, and he is aware when i'm angry. There were afew times when i told him strictly that he cannot touch the wire of the standing fan. He gave me a sad face, and was about to cry. When he still reach to touch the wire, i will beat his palm and told him cannot. After that he will look out for other things.

Children's character are to be taught. Its never too early. I always believe we must encourage them, praise them often and of course discipline them whenever necessary. If we don't teach them now, the society will, in the future.

Sunday we brought him a bicycle. He was happy to sit on it, and shop happily as we push him around. We stroll him in the park near our block too.. as the weather was good. Princeton is still sleeping in the sarong, omg.. But he sleep in his baby cot also. 2, 3 hours each during night time. hmm... when he can give up the sarong leh. ahyo.. tats y sister always say he is a pampered boy. I hope Princeton can do away with the sarong when he starts walking. Yeah my boy?

Princeton boy !

Just took a video of him crawling... Last time he only know how to crawl up, don't know how to come down. Everytime when he wants to come down the steps, he'll called us for help. haha.. But last week, he managed to figure out how to crawl down on his own.

Princeton likes to play hide and seek with us :) He'll hide at one corner, and wait for u to peep at him. He don't like to drink from the milk bottle now, he want us to feed him with spoon lol. When we feed him with water, he wanna use a cup lor. He saw us drinking from cups, so he wants it too :p

When i asked him where is daddy? He'll crawl to zhenyu's room... den i'll say, daddy working. When i asked him where's mama(grandma)? he'll knock at ah ma's room! haha! Too bad he can't call me yet. hmm.. old folks say babies who walk and talk later is better. But i think those tat walk and talk first are fast learners!

But again, babies should crawl more. The more they crawl, the better their brains work. As crawling is never easy, you'll have to coordinate both legs and hands lol. You try to crawl now, you'll know wat i mean.

Princeton is now 82cm, and 10.5kg. He only put on 0.5kg since Feb, but he grew 7cm taller! Jia you my Princeton Boy!

It's saturday!

Just came back from Jurong Point, with hubby and my boy. We had an unpleasant experience in the carpark today. There was a driver who was very inconsiderate, snatch our carpark lot, when our car was infront of them.

Wed, May and wentong came over with Jaden. Princeton was puzzled to see Jaden didi... He gave that kind of blur look. haha... So hope we can gather our boys together more often. Tmr is sunday, so will go Yam Cha (Tea Session) with Uncle william family :) Our usual place is at Shaw Centre, Kam Boat. The dim sum over there is really nice, and service is great too, because my uncle is a VIP regular customer.

But i think after lunch, we will hang out at orchard, if not we will go back and rest already. As Princeton had a slight cough.. we will not be joining them for car viewing. Hope sis u can decide wat to buy tmr ya??

Yesterday went over my inlaws place for dinner. My mil will always have soup for us. Esp for me :) She said we woman must take good care of ourselves, so tat even after birth, we can stay young and healthy. I don't exercise, so im not tat healthy. But i hope i can look young lol. Tats y calcium and iron is so impt to us.. If we don't take care now, before u realise it will be too late.

Packed weekend

Today is my off day. Had plans all ahead.. Last weekend sat, we brought Princeton to orchard and shop around for his clothes. Coz i have $250 shopping vouchers. We shopped for 5 hours.. my legs were aching. Went home at about 9pm, as dearie and i had to catch our Transformer movie!

Darling baby had all energy for the day. Even when we reached home, he was still active. But after that, he dozed off in his baby cot. Transformer was indeed a gd show, of course you have to watch part one, if not you would think its very confusing and messy plot. I love Bumble Bee! My fav character!

Sunday, we woke up early, and brought Princeton out again. haha... tis precious of mine had no problem for the whole day outing. As usual, we did not bring along our helper. Bcoz i wanna my boy to be closer with us :) We meet sis and siyong, went Kallang Leisure world for lunch. There was a Art Gallery, many beautiful pictures. We went to Cold storage and brought some snacks, donuts, for our dvd home movie later!

We enjoyed watching dvds, of course more wonderful with the companion of sis and sy. Last month we share 50 first dates with them. So last sun we brought cellular. Action packed movie. Next week i wanna bring The Prestige. A perfect story plot, with unexpected ending. This movie is abit slow, but trust me, u will like it sis!

Dearie and i are movie freak. Yesterday we catch IceAge 3. This one is funny, and i really giggled. Later will be going for body massage with sister and mum. Must pamper ourselves.. so tat we can stay young lol.

Bedtime stories..

Brand new week, and i thank God for a smooth, not so blue monday. It was a rainy evening, i took a cab home as dearie was on duty.

My Princeton learns how to walk steadily... with tat toy stand. haha.. he fell down, and he stood up and walk again. I kept encouraging him, i clapped when he walked a few distance. he was so happy!

After that, i brought him into my room. I read him some bible stories, and he just sit down there quietly. He crawls and lie on my lap, and then after reading a few chapters, he finally fell asleep. This is the second time he dozed off. Usually he'll just crawl around my bed, jumping around. I hope that i can read him bedtime stories every night.
