Am I spoilt??

My lappy is down and hubby said it will take a few days before it can be 'up' again... So I am doing this post using iPad instead. :)

Went to msia with my in laws to visit my grandma in law and some of mk's relatives on wed and thurs. Before I left, hf whatsapp me to enjoy the trip and I told her that i am not really going there for a holiday... It's more to accompany my in laws and hubby to visit their relatives... Some of them have been wanting to see michela for ages ( i heard)..

I suppose what I said to hf is true to a certain extent. Went over... Michela played a lot with the kids there, totally enjoying herself... But amid all these, from the way things are arranged (like 'itinerary'), the way some aunties talked to me... Really made me think whether am I too spoilt to even stay a nite over at msia.

From time to time, I can see that they try to give in to me like shopping and even having meals.. One of his aunties even commented to me the difference bet SG kids and Msia kids.. Acty I do agree with her that we shouldn't over protect our kids at times... If not they might grow up to be 'weak' and unable to take care of themselves, but I also must say that I don't really feel too happy abt this trip to msia.. It makes me feel like I am too spoilt for them... I am over protecting Michela... The place is dirty to stay at, etc... Oh, even sleeping in air con room too! My FIL said loudly that Mk, michela and myself MUST sleep in air con room one. But my question is... How does he know?? He doesn't sleep with us or hasn't stayed over at our place before... How can he just say out like he understands us SO well? I feel he shouldnt say things for us just like that. Sigh...

"So, am I spoilt?" I asked MK.. He replied confidently "NO, it's just difference living standard darling.."

I gave thot to his reply and can't help but to a certain extent agree with him... Yup, it's diff living standard and yes i might not used to it, but what then do u expect me to do? Quickly and totally get used to their living std? It's like asking baby A to drink baby B's mother's milk... And if baby A cant do it, baby A is a spoilt brad.. HUH??? Doesn't make sense.

I think wats most impt is to try to adapt if possible and if not, at least have respect for other ppl's 'culture' and/ or living habit... And not sarcastically saying things that make ppl feel you don't respect them becos of these living differences.

So if you ask me whether I would want to stay over again in msia with the relatives, I would still stay over if can... Becos I want to at least try, if not respect them... But I am just Sianz tht this is probably how ppl see us.. Hm..

Anw, I am glad to be back home... :)

before I go, on a random note - I feel like going overseas for a shopping trip... Maybe HK, TW? Heheh... BKK is out for time being until its safer or in better condition to go. Holiday... Holiday... Holiday... Holiday............

:p

Thanks in advance & Chaos!

I'm back.

Yes, finally after 5 mths plus of not-blogging.. i decided to blog again. Just days ago, i was looking thru my posts since last year, and.... I was actually touched by my own post! Hahah.. well i guess its becos as i read them, i can recall and 'revisit' those events or things that i talked about.. Hmm.. pretty EMO ya.

I said days ago that i am thinking of closing down my FB account. Some people asked me why... hmm, i think i like to 'talk' about things rather than just posting a picture... even tho ppl say that "A picture paints a thousand words".. i feel better to write them down... Of cos all these subjected to whether i have the luxury of time or not! wahaha.. :P But, MK advises not to, so that i can still get 'connected' to the world, esp now that i am not working liaoz.. Okay okay.. i will still continue with it just so that i can know the happenings of the world! If not i may become 黄脸婆 very soon!

Anyway, we bought Michela new toys.. Some Happy Family toys... its imaginary play for tots.



Happy Family!

Front area..

Backyard area..

This morning when i set this up for her to play, she kept saying (on her own accord) that she likes her new toy.. Anyway, she will only turn 2 next month, but it seems to me that "Monster 2" is coming out of them nowadays... sighz... need to quickly go read up at http://www.babycenter.com/ on the correct way (at least to them) tp handle her.. we are at a lost now, esp when she throws tantrums just to get what she wants! Faintz...

Oh and finally MK put into action what he has been thinking about for a very long time... Getting himself a bday pressie. Last yr he got himself a Guess watch at $200++, and this yr, he was deciding between an add-on camera lens or an ipad. I didnt feel that the former will be wise esp he seldom use the DSLR nowadays.. and so, yes... he got ipad in the end.. :)

His advance bday pressie..

And before I go off, let me show you what I bought today from Cotton On (IMM)!

TA-DA!

5 Knickers @ only $10! Cheap, cheap cheap!!

Not sure if other outlets have the same promo too.. if not you can buy at IMM outlet… quick! J


GTG.. sleepy sleepy.. hangover still hanging over from weekend’s interrupted schedule..

Oh, and MK is still happily playing with this new ‘toy’.. maybe I should go ka-jiao him a bit ya.. kekek..

Nites world! :)

Coming Back....

Hmm, havent been blogging for 5 months plus.. that's pretty long ya...

Ok, i am coming back soon.. back to here once again..

And, Facebook no more?

Maybe. :)

Typical day of Little Michela

I have a few people asking me similar questions like "So, how's being a FT mum now?", "Is it boring?", "What do you do with Michela everyday?", etc. So i decided to write out our life as a FT mum and a 18mths old baby girl. :)


8am : Michela wakes up calling Papa or Mama... and she means" Yo, I am now awake, so you two better NOT sleep anymore and play with meeeee!" Usually we cant be bothered with her. hahah..
8.15am - 8.30am : Drink milk
8.30 - 9.15am : PLAY, PLAY & disturb Papa while he prepares to go work.
9.15 - 9.30am : Bathing time.
9.30 - 11am : PLAY or READ or TV (depends)
11am - 12pm : Mummy prepares Michela's mum mum... (ie; food)
12 - 12.45 : Lunch for Michela
12.45 - 1.30pm : TV (OKTO or Wiggles or Mickey Mouse, etc)
1.30 - 3.30pm : Nap time
3.30 - 3.45pm : Drink milk
3.45 - 5pm : PLAY or READ or TV or disturb mummy prepare mum mum.
5 - 6pm : Downstairs walk walk
6 - 7pm : Dinner for Michela
7 - 7.30pm : Mummy takes dinner... Papa usually comes home by this time.
7.30 - 7.45pm : Michela wash up and change to PJs.
7.45 - 9.30pm : PLAY and PLAY or disturb Papa and Mama. haha..
9.30pm : Falls alseep for the day.. FINALLY!

So, this is a typical day for both of us.Actually she has more milk time.. just that i didnt include in.. and also, the word 'disturb' here means she wants baobao, she wants you to be with her, play with her, and you cannot leave her sight. hmm.. this makes my preparation for meals, household chores, as well as washing of clothes harder... many of such will only be done either whn she naps or whn she sleeps for the day.

This post acts as a reference for mothers who are considering of switching to FT mum.

But, i must admit that it is really very fulfilling as a FT mum esp whn your child look into your eyes innocently and call you Mama... it just melts my heart and makes you forget those times whn she is naughty or make you mad or even step on every nerve you have! hahahah...

The BIG day...

of Quentin & Linda of course! And like i mentioned earlier that i will try to post nice pictures for that day...

Since both MK and myself were helping out, we had to both reache the bride's place at 7-ish. And when i arrived, Linda was almost done with her make up and hair. She just looked gorgeous!

Then i (together with some of the Jie Meis) proceed on to preparing the 'Cai Liao' to sa-bo the brothers... Lemon with wasabi was a killer i guess. :) (didnt managed to take any picture for this becos... no hands leh.. heee).

Finally the brothers came.. initially i thot they wouldnt be cooperative to do all the stunts we instruct them to do... (and tht's why i had to 'beg' MK to be more cooperative days before! heheh..). Anw, in the end, to our surprise, they guai guai did all that we asked them to do! wow.... good job the brothers!

So the groom got the bride after paying us $288,000...... and,


here's the pretty bride in her Vera Wang's gown... The front..

... and the back. Love the black ribbon. It just adds the sophisticated feel to the whole gown.

Owing to the tight timeline of the wedding, we rushed down to the matrimony place at Sentosa, The Amara Sanctuary. The wedding was held at the Glass Pavilion that looks like this... Moments before the wedding starts..

Of course, without a doubt, Quen married Linda successfully! Sealing their love with a passionate kiss!! Muuuuaccckkkkss!

And then we move on to the wedding lunch that was to be commenced like 1 hour later..

The menu for the day.

Pls take note of the 3rd dish.. Baked Cod Fish in Bonito Sauce.. THIS IS YUMMY!!!!! No joke, really, really very nice!!

This is how it looks like.. OK i must admit that it doenst look very appealing... but do not be deceived by its outwards appearance!

The Cod Fish! YUMMY!! YUMMY!!!

I didnt want to take picture of the food as i thot it should more of less the same...but this Cod Fish really blew my mind off man.. really gotta mention it!

And the best part was when we (my table) were eating this dish, the live band played some music (not sure the name of the song tho) and it just blended so well.. felt so so heavenly.................

How i wish got buffet for this dish! hahaha..

Ok, i thnk this is random but..this is WE.. both tired.

We went off aftr helping to pack the place for the couple... we were both tired by then...

Took a cab home. (of cos!)

See what i mean.. my legs were tired and aching.. gotta take them off in the cab! haha..

And MK?

K-O!P


Anyway, we just wanna say a big CONGRATS to the couple! Have a blissful marriage!

Preparing for the BIG day...

well, not mine of cos. :)

Its for my hubby's buddy's wedding! This Saturday.

He is one of the brothers while i am helping out as one of the Jie Meis. Dusky Rose was the colour that the ladies are to wear on that day and thankfully, i managed to get the dress as close to the colour as possible! Yay and phew... :P

Anw, a nail voucher from Iputa at Far East Plaza was given to me as birthday pressie early this year. I had wanted to use it for CNY this year but it was fully booked back then. So finally, i have an excuse to use it this time round (before it expires!).

And here is my 2nd soft gel manicure:

Love the pink glitter! Hope it last... doing a lot of household chores nowadays.. :I

And i thot that since i doing mani, might as well pamper myself to do classic pedi too. Love this red too!!

I found out that the boss of Iputa is a Korean. She married a Singaporean many years ago and started this nail salon. The service is quite good but more imptly, the skills of those manicurists are good too! At least better than my 1st soft gel manicure during CNY period. Its quite a lot of difference! If you want, you are highly encouraged to call for appt slot cos their biz are really quite good. Its at Far East Plaza, #05-07, 6735 7073.

As for the dress, i didnt manage to take a nice picture of it yet.. i hope i can upload more pictures after the wedding yah. :P

Oh, and before i go off, i just want to say that this cheesecake from TCC (Suntec outlet) is really yummy! Try it!

I think i am blessed...


From peeps...



From him...

Thank you guys!

Finally... Thank God..

Yup, finally we see some little signs of breakthrus. I believe all the trustings in God and faithful givings will not come to in vain.

He is surely doing something in the Wong family!

Thank You God. =)
