Reunion Lunch @ Straits Kitchen

It's a tradition of the Tan family i.e. my PIL to have reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's eve as well as the last day of Chinese New Year.

XP has reserved a table at Straits Kitchen, located at Hyatt Hotel for our reunion lunch. The parking fees was x! $5 per entry. But I thought that we can fully utilise the fee by shopping around after lunch. Afterall, we seldom step into the streets of Orchard during weekends. This is the chance :)

As such, Mummy Me's appetite was good. What made it better was the food :) It's buffet style and per pax cost about $40 - $50+++.

However, in the middle of our lunch, my MIL insisted that we should go back straight after lunch as my BIL would be visiting her next unit i.e. opposite me and she felt that we should be home so that he can visit our unit too. She added in a lot of crap and XP couldn't tahan her and decided to give in. I was apparently unhappy and decided not to take a group photo!

I was super irritated! More so when they only stayed less than 15 minutes at my place! I gotta give up my chance of shopping around just to entertain them for 15 minutes! Angry leh!

Good Luck, WX!

Well, cannot believe that Little Arielle's uncle, who is none other than my younger brother, WX has signed up for the Ironman triathlon which is gonna be held in New Zealand on 6th Mar. We had wanted to fly to NZ to give him our support but somehow, timing just doesn't match. We were quite worried about his safety that he would be there alone and hoped that he would enjoy himself in NZ.

Our family and WX's friend sent him off at the airport. He gave us a dinner treat before he board the plane. Good luck :) We will try to catch the competition on 6th Mar. Hopefully there is live telecast, somewhere :P

It's 123 & ABC Time!

Yes, I agree that it is kinda of late that Little Arielle knows 123 & ABCs at this age where some kids could have learnt it some time ago. Actually also cannot blame her much. Afterall, she did not attend school before this year and I seldom have the time and chance to give her coaching.

So, as far as I am concerned, I am already contented that she knows it now :)

Companionship?

Without fail, Little Arielle would want either of us to keep her company at night, especially at bedtime. I told her today that she would have her bear bear to keep her company but she still wants me to accompany her. I took the chance to ask her if she wants mei mei's company and she gladly said Yes!

Hmm....is she lonely?

The Cough

continues badly :( guessed it's gonna be a "long" night for Mummy Me again! Sucks man....

My Sick Baby

Sigh....just when Mummy Me was busy handling Little Arielle's cough, here comes her flu to keep her cough company! Faintz....

She was sneezing and tearing away + her itchy throat just made her cough numerous times. Aiyo, it was really heart wrenching watching her suffer and I cannot do anything except to give her her medication on time.

I think we really have to make a trip to Dr Ho tomorrow!

粘粘!

Here's XP's conversation with Little Arielle ->

XP: 不要动, 等一下手粘粘
LA: 年年有余!

Both of us almost faintz....此粘非比年!!

"Chao Keng Ong"

Our conversation ->

Mummy Me: Did you anyhow eat in school today?
LA: Biscuits, 老师给我的!
Mummy Me: Huh, 为什么老师给你吃?
LA: 我没有跟老师讲, 不然她不给我吃!

Faintz....to think that her mind can think so fast!

Big Fat Grasshopper

that almost scares Little Arielle away! Hee but it does not scare Mummy Me as I move up close to it and took a pic :)

New Bedsheets; New Pyjamas!

Little Arielle is happy with her new pyjamas & her new bedsheets! All ready for new year! What a coincidence, we actually bought pink bedsheets long time ago. All prepared for her?

Reunion Dinner 2010

Time flies! I only remembered having breakfast, coming back home to pack my room and before we could rest for a while, it's time to have our reunion dinner. This year's reunion dinner is at this restaurant at Park Royale Hotel - Hai Xiang.

Hmm find that the food was so-so only. Service was weird -> Served slowly in the beginning and suddenly towards the end, our food came so fast that my FIL had to ask them to slow down. So I was damn hungry initially and had to gobbled my food towards the end.

MIL was nagging away cos we din allow Little Arielle to eat a lot of stuff and of course the reason is because she is still coughing away badly. Told her liaoz and she thought that we purposely din allow her to eat. Kept saying we "Yum gong". XP was so pissed off that he told her off. Hee....that shut her mouth for a while and we continued to eat our food!

Anyway, it was lucky that we had our dinner early at 6.30pm. It ended at around 8.30pm. Felt so happy that it has ended cos XP and I both caught a cold and we were feeling terrible. Just wanted to take our medication and sleep early for the nite :)

Nasty Fall

Heard cries in the bathroom while I was in the storeroom. Went to check it out and got to know from XP that Little Arielle slipped and fell in the bathroom. Best of all, she fell on the stairs which I don't understand cos it was not slippery.

Anyway, here's a pic of her nasty fall ->

Luckily it's on her back. Else how to 过年?

Wall Sticker!

Mummy Me has been wanting to get some wall stickers to paste on Little Arielle's room's boring wall. Although there's wall paper in her room, somehow the design wasn't what I like. As such, I thought of getting wall stickers to decorate it. As usual, it has been on my mind for the longest time but no action has been taken!

Just saw Astin's post where she bought wall stickers and decorated Lucas's room with it. Wow....it was so nice! Made my hands itchy leh! And with Astin's push (by asking me whether I want to go with her to buy wall stickers or not), I agreed without hesitation.

So off we go to Tiong Bahru Plaza during lunch and I bought the following wall sticker ->

Wanted to get Disney Princess for Little Arielle but they only have Belle. Hmm, that's Mummy Me's favourite and not really Little Arielle's one. As such, I gave it a miss! Hmm, Mummy Me wonder if XP would object to the wall sticker. Thank god, he also found the pic cute.

Hee hee, he will have the honour to do the pasting this Fri since he has taken leave to do spring cleaning. Ahhh, I just love him so much hee!

Yellow Gifts!

Hahaha, must be wondering what is yellow gifts right? Here is it! Gifts from some NTUC aunties again! Lucky Little Arielle!

Playground @ M1

Mummy Me was fed up with the wireless connection device that I got from M1. Had subscribed to their service since Sep 09 with the purpose of using my netbook during my department meeting, however they have failed me eversince Day 1 when I tried to use it during the meeting. Was so upset with it that we did not really utilise it for the past few months. Finally, XP decided to do something about it. Else we would be paying for the subscription for nothing. Went to the M1 service centre in Paragon this afternoon. While investigating the problem, Little Arielle was treating the waiting area like her playground.

*Uploaded on 09 Feb 2010*

Oh my, she was really enjoying herself and playing heartily with that little girl. Was so pai seh when that little girl slipped and fell. Asked Little Arielle to apologise and she simply refused, thinking that it was no fault of hers. Alamak, if she hadn't play with her, that little girl wouldn't have slipped and fall. Anyway, just couldn't get her to say sorry. Luckily, she did not suffer any injuries.

Anyway, she continued to play with her after her fall and luckily, our problem was resolved and could leave the place!

"Peh Chek?"

Well, nowadays kids also know what is "peh chek" = frustrated? Yeah....you will be surprised that they know! Check out the following video ->

The Last Thing

that Mummy Me wants to hear when I got back home is Little Arielle's screams, cries and shouts. That really super irritates me and would immediately piss me off! So much so that I simply do not want to be associated with her.

Why can't they stand adorable all the time?

Good Night's Sleep

Miricalously, Little Arielle's cough was so much better until I did not hear a single sound of cough for the whole night.

Hmm, she was still taking the same medication and I'm surprised that her condition has improved tremendously. At least it's good for her cos she would have a good night's sleep.

Hopefully, the medication can work even better and I don't have to visit Dr Ho again on Fri!

Sleeping Beauty!

It was not easy getting Little Arielle to sleep at night, much less asking her to sleep early. But tonight, she behaved differently. Thought that I would be into some routine cycle again of having to coax her to sleep but I don't have to! After feeding her medication, I gave her her milk and she fell asleep immediately after finishing it.

Hmm, is it because
a. The medication is finally working?
b. She was too tired cos the previous night, she din sleep well?
c. She felt a sense of security now that she is sleeping in my room?

Whatever the reason, I just hope that my beauty can sleep through the night :) Sleep tight....

A Disasterous Morning!

Sigh....what could be worst than clearing up vomit mess in the car early in the morning! It seems to be a continuous of bad luck from last night! Thanks to Little Arielle who decided to puke out her milk in XP's car. From her cough, I kinda of anticipated that the next reaction will be her puke and Bingo! I was right lor!

XP must have been boiling mad and Mummy Me gotta be like a monkey who had to first crawl out of my passenger seat to the back seat, be as agile and quick as possible to wipe off the mess from the car seat.

It was thankful that most of the mess was on Little Arielle's hair, PJ and my cushion :( And, the liquid did not seep into the back seat, else I really don't know how to clear that up! Thank god that I have a set of clothes in my bag. So I changed Little Arielle out of her PJ, placed the dirty PJ and cushion cover into a plastic bag.

And it was also lucky that we were about to reach my mama's house. Immediately when mama opened the door, I passed her everything and I'm off to work. Luckily the smell did not linger in the car. Else the next person to puke will be ME!

Another Disturbing Night!

Just when Mummy Me thought that I can have a good night's sleep to prepare myself for a new work week, I was terribly wrong :(

It first started with me trying to get Little Arielle to sleep. Sometimes I wonder why is it that kids' medication do not have the ability to make them drowsy? Or is it because they are by nature too hyper until the medication doesn't work on them. Anyway, I tried to put her to sleep at about 9pm+. Shortly, she came out and asked for companionship. Well, I got work to do how to accompany her?

So I sent her back to her room and repeated the whole process again. It was quiet for a long time until 11pm+, I saw her popping outside my storeroom again!!! Was really angry and threatened to off the lights if she is not gonna sleep.

Went back to my work to finish off the last bit of stuff before I rest for the night. At about 3am, I heard the knob of my door turning and I guessed as much, this naughty little one sneaked into my room again. As such, I asked her to sleep on the mattress next to me. Within an hour, Little Arielle came up to me and told me that her urine has leaked out. Was glad that her mattress did not kena. Quickly changed her and she insisted to sleep on my bed but at the same time refused to wear her pants. Cannot take her naughty gesture.

Nevermind, I let her be and off the aircon instead. Thought that I can have my next few hours of sleep before daybreak but I was wrong again! At about 5am+, she woke me up and pulled out her diaper. I got so fed up that I asked her to go and look for her daddy instead. I tried to salvage my remainding half an hour of sleep but just when my hand happened to flick onto the right side of my bed, I felt dampness and immediately jumped out of my bed! I knew that that must be Little Arielle's urine! Arrgghhh nothing can describe the feeling that I had -> to kill someone! So mad leh! Gotta force myself to grab a cloth and start cleaning up her mess!

In the meantime, Little Arielle was sent back to her mattress. She finally decided to sleep in but too bad, it's time for her to get up!!!
