All Plans Failed!
Wanted to let her have her dinner i.e. porridge before going for class and thereafter to watch fireworks. Just when she was about to finish her porridge, she detected signs of puke and I asked her to quickly go to the toilet.
She was just 3 steps away from the toilet bowl, couldn't hold it and puked like a merlion all over the floor and on herself.
I was totally xianz when I saw this! But still, gotta clean up! Spent about 1 hour+ on this meaningless task and became moodless after I have done it....
I hope that there would be the mood to watch fireworks later. Else, it's really a xianz New Year Eve!
What's the point of planning?
As Expected!
But after mid day approaches, the sky darken and I quickly told the photographer to change it to indoor shoot instead. The husband called and did not agree to the change cos he said that it hasn't even rain and who knows, it won't rain at 4pm. In any case, the main reason that he din want to change is also because someone has already booked the studio for photoshoot at the same time. Hence, there is no way that he can accomodate another family in.
Okie lor....since he is being fair, then I asked him what would be the situation if it is going to rain at 4pm? He told me that he would have to change to another date. Fine with me as long as they can allow me to bring forward the shoot to 2011.
Everything was okie until 3.30pm when I heard raindrops. It became heavier and he called to say that we would have to postpone the shoot.
Just as well....it would be changed to this Sunday and it would be at their studio. Yeah! Little Arielle can have her Princess collection pic :)

Good Weather Tomorrow??
And I'm very surprised by XP's suggestion! He actually suggested to take the pic in Phuket! I was shocked cos that means we gotta pay for photographer's accomodation + airfare and to think that he is okie with that!
Anyway, I have checked with the photographer and she has yet to reply. I think most likely, it's a no lor! So, I'm not banging hard on it!
Have also told the photographer that if it really rains, I will change it to indoor shoot instead. Shall leave it to God to decide the weather! Actually I am quite xianz to pack the items for outdoor shoot! Seems like need to bring a lot of things. So afterall, the rain is not a bad idea too!
我很寂寞!
Prompt Action!
XP really went to ask around and his colleagues are interested! Happened to tell Daddy this evening and they wanted to go too!
Hmm....should we spilt into 2 trips and go twice or have everyone to go together??
Busy New Year's Eve
4pm - Outdoor photoshoot @ East Coast Park
6.30pm - Art Class @ Joo Chiat CC
11.30pm - Fireworks @ Marina Bay
Wow....it's gonna be a tiring day but I guessed, it should be fun for Little Arielle!

Batam - Day 2
After breakfast, we took the shuttle bus where they drove us to the Nagoya shopping mall. Sigh....the malls are not comparable to those in Msia. Got just a few items, had lunch at A&W and it's time to get back to the hotel.
Brought Little Arielle to the pool and she had a great time there. I was happy too cos they have a pool with shelter. And you would know where I am hiding hee....
After the swim, we rested for a while and it was time for our romantic candlelight dinner with a big lightbulb at H Grill. The ambience was great but it rained and we had to shift to the indoor area. Arrghhh what a disappointment but nevermind, can still admire the scenery around....Food was not too bad though and it was the companionship that was great!
After dinner, when we were in the room, there came a group of staff who delivered my bday cake and sang bday song. Was meant to be a surprise but they did it to 2 other bday persons at the restaurant. Hee so I know what they are up to! But it was still sweet of XP to plan for it.
Thanks dearie....

Batam 2010 - Day 1
Finally, she came to terms with it and we managed to get out of the house. Throughout the journey, she just liked to have some small irritating actions which really made you frustrated. That made me wonder if she is a girl cos her behaviour is really like a BOY!
After arriving at Batam via ferry, we were greeted by the friendly guide and was in the coach waiting for the rest to arrive.
Managed to visit a few interesting destinations but that did not make my mood better. In fact, it got worst along the way!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day....

Mini Reno - Blind is Done
Mama Rocks!!
When Little Arielle came home this evening, I was so surprised to see that the guage is gone! Upon checking with her, she told me that 婆婆 was the one who removed for her. Arrgghhh I was so amazed! It seemed to be a very neat job!

What can I say....How can I do without my mama! 3 cheers to mama!! Yippee hurray! Yippee hurray!! Yippee hurray!!

Gap Casting @ Vivo City
We went straight to the store and there was already a queue forming outside the store. Checked with the staff and he mentioned that I must obtain the receipt which showed proof of purchase of at least $80 worth of Gap products before joining in the queue. It took me quite a while to choose an ideal item because whatever I want is not available :( Finally, managed to choose a nice red dress (hee which she can wear during CNY) and a pair of nice leggings (hmm, for our Japan trip in Feb). That cost me $88 :) Ahh....I was quite happy with my purchase! After the purchase, we did not queue straightaway cos I thought of getting the cute Xmas hat clip for Little Arielle. I was hoping that there is Watsons at Vivo and was lucky to really find one! But it was not easy to get there cos we used the wrong escalator!! Anyway, the clip wasn't cheap! Cost me $5 for it! At the same time, I got Little Arielle's antiseptic for her wound and got her bread from BreadTalk. So after all the run about, we were finally in the queue. Quickly helped Little Arielle put on the legging and it wasn't easy cos I was afraid of hurting her wound. Finally was done with that! I'm just so tired! Luckily Little Arielle wasn't grouchy even though it's her nap time. Gave her bread to eat and she was pretty cooperative.

We stood in the queue for 1hr 45 mins! Oh my....I cannot believe myself! The shoot took only about 10 mins and waited for the pic to be developed for another 10 minutes!

Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall!
Placed Little Arielle on the seat, lifted up her dress and realised that her fall was really bad!! This is the first time in 4 years of her life that she fell and bled. Arrgghh :( She was crying loudly too but stopped immediately when she was offered some sweets. Hmm, so does it mean that it is not so painful after all?

The staff was concerned that Little Arielle would brush against her wound and kinda of insisted to place a gauge over the knee which was more serious. I wasn't really in favour as I remembered my previous experience where the gauge stuck to my skin and it was so difficult to get it out. *Gauge on the bloody wound* - Uploaded on 11 Dec 2010
After the medication was in place, I brought Little Arielle for her class. Hmm....am I mean?

Baby Ryan's 1st Bday
Reached Coasta Sands and Little Arielle wanted to take a pic with the Xmas tree! And too bad we were late. Therefore, we missed the cake cutting segment and the main lead has slept for the night....Arrgghhh....
So I decided to entertain myself with the tv programmer while Little Arielle was happily playing with the sparklers....

Yeah! Early Xmas Gift
Anyway, we still went and probably I should be happy that this was the decision cos the tumbling monkey toy which I had wanted to buy is having a 20% discount! Yeah! So XP bought that for me as my Xmas gift and Little Arielle got a box of lego too. $29.90 for 650 pieces. That's a good buy! So both of us were happy with our early Xmas gift hee :P

Down with Gastric Flu :(
She woke up in the morning and greeted me as per normal. I did not suspect anything until she refused to finish her milk. Thereafter, she complained of stomachache. Applied some medication oil for her and we went out for breakfast thinking that everything would be fine.

Who knows, on the way to the hawker centre, she puked again. I knew that the puke was not a result of her cough and suspected that something is not wrong. In addition, she was feeling so restless and grouchy.
Quickly called my mama after our food and my brother managed to get a queue number at our family doctor cos it was close to closing time. Boy, was I glad that we managed to secure a slot for it else we gotta anyhow go to any doctor liaoz. And while I was on the line, Little Arielle puked again. Seems like she is vomitting out whatever she is taking in.
We quickly rushed down to the clinic and she looked so sad while waiting for her turn.

The strange thing was that she suddenly seemed to be okie when she was in the doctor's room. Here's an extract of the cute conversation:
Doc: 你哪里不舒服?
LA: 我吐
Doc: 几次?
LA: 昨天一次, 今天两次
Bravo....can't believe that she can remember the details so well :)
Dr Sim gave her a check and diagnosed her as having gastric flu. Poor gal....

Took the medication and once she was out of the clinic, she puked again. This time, it's all the juices cos her stomach is already empty. Once she reached home, quickly gave her her medication and asked her to go and sleep. Before that, sigh....puked again :( Thereafter, she then managed to sleep. She slept for a long time and just woke up, wanting to eat bread. Hope that she gets well soon and no more puking okie!
Back from Japan
Anyway, back to my parents....their flight was due to land at 11.45pm. So WJ was at T1 earlier while we reached there at about 11.50pm. Arrgghhh, they were still not out. So while waiting for their arrival, I was busy snapping away....

Anyway, after sending them home, we reached home at about 1am....shag man!

BBQ @ East Coast
Even though we just touched down this morning and it was drizzling, I still requested to go.
When we reached there, I knew that it was a right decision to go :P The turnout was great despite the rain! Had a good time chit chatting with wives of the CRaVers! Finding out what their kids are doing, blah blah blah! And of course, Little Arielle had a great time with the CRaVers kiddos. Probably because most of them are of the same age, so it was fun hanging out with them.
They also shared the bicycle with Little Arielle and she was super delighted!
But ouch....Little Arielle had a fall but luckily it wasnt serious as it did not bleed. Overall, we had a great time! Food was good (too good until no hands to take pic) and companion was BEST! Looking forward to more of such activities!
And, no wonder I found this date familiar....it's Little Arielle's 49 months on this planet! Woohoo!

Ah Go Go Gal
Great Spending Today!
However, after asking Little Arielle if she was interested to watch, she was so enthu and excited about it and thought that we are going to go on the very day. As such, she kept bugging me about it. That confirmed my decision to proceed with the booking. Even though, it is gonna cost me $240+ for 3 tickets for Cat 2 seats. Looking forward to the show on 1 Dec and hopefully it will not disappoint us :) *The highly recommended show!* - Uploaded on 06 Nov 2010
And, good things come in pairs. So on this same day, Mummy Me also ordered the Korea Customised Family Tee. Wat seh....not cheap too leh! $25 per tee, regardless of size! So in all, this cost me $75....Heart is bleeding man! But I hope that it will arrive before our show and we can wear it there to watch! That would be very sweet :P

It's A Scam!
When we reached there, the VIP was already giving his speech. A lot of people were moving around. Next moment, the teacher started calling out the graduating classes and the students were dressed like little angels for the girls. At that moment, I was quite worried. Little Arielle is so shaddily dressed, how is she gonna go up the stage. But when I thought about it again, all the students' dressing were identical. That means, they have already been given the clothings before the ceremony. So does it mean that the graduating classes are only meant for K1 and K2 students?
I went to ask one of the staff and that confirmed my thought! Arrghhh....that means, I have wasted my time here for nothing! Sickening circular did not highlight this properly! Made me rush like mad and best of all, it started raining heavily. Luckily, I brought umbrella for WJ and Little Arielle. Else they would be super drenched!
So I quickly rushed down for my DnD and luckily, everything was in place....And when the event ended, I went to pick up Little Arielle and surprisingly, she is still so wide awake even though it was almost midnight!
