IDG Squash!

Mummy Me was the rep for this event and hence, the Tan family was up really early on this Sat morning to give support to the participants. It ain't easy to wake up at about 6.30am on a weekend and worst still, to handle a little one. Luckily, she managed to catch some sleep in the car....

And best of all, she was a great supporter during the game! And yes, she is the youngest RaRa member too :) Good job!

Baby Ryan's 1st Bday

We were invited to Baby Ryan's (Douglas's son) 1 year old birthday bash at Coasta Sands and what a coincidence that Mummy Me had to do a last minute system testing. So in the end, I had to pick Little Arielle and rushed home to standby for the test. That also meant that Little Arielle had to skip her art class. Hmm...seems like we have skipped quite a few lessons this semester! Must strive to keep up the attendance for the next few lessons!

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....

We did stay late because we need to wait up at 6.30am for IDG squash tomorrow!

Fast Reaction!

I was annoyed with Little Arielle over something that she has done and here's the conversation ->

Mummy Me: I don't love you anymore!

LA: All mothers love their children....


Win liaoz lor! I got nothing to say....

Dinner @ Chinatown Hawker Centre

It came as a surprise when XP drove all the way to have our dinner at Chinatown. After we got off the car, here's what Little Arielle asked:

LA: Mummy, 我们要去哪里?
Me: 我们要去牛车水
LA: 这里都没有牛!

Haha....kids are just so cute and innocent!

Anyway, we wanted to eat the nice chicken rice but was disappointed when it says that they are closed on Sunday. In the end, gotta make do with the following ->

Tokyu Disney 2011

Yippee....we have just confirmed our flight to Tokyu for Feb 2011. Will be celebrating XP's birthday there and Little Arielle will have the chance to go Disneyland and Disney Sea! What a fortunate gal! Mummy Me only get to go Disneyland when I was 22 years old lor!!!

Sweet Customised Family Tee

Have been hesitating if I should purchase the customised family tee and in the end, I just close my eyes and paid $75 for it! I got the tees today and super loved it! Too bad, XP's tee was a bit too big for him. But it's okie lah....guys can wear bigger size :)


Little Arielle kept looking at the tee and said that we 'shoot' her! Hahaha she is actually referring to the arrows shot by the cupid! Really din regret buying it! Hmm....the tee will be worn when we go and watch our 'Walking with Dino' show!! Looking forward to the show on 8th Dec!

Bento Tools

Mummy Me has always been fascinated with the different bento tools and has always loved collecting them....hee :P This was especially the case when I happpened to read one of Astin's post on Bento Tools.

Even though so, I din have the chance to get it since we seldom visit town during weekends. Especially with the crowd, parking and ERP....it just turned us off. So it was today.....during lunch....that I got the chance to visit Daiso @ PS.

Though I did not grab as many items as Astin but felt that 6 is a lot to me :P Check out what I got ->

Mini Reno - Day 3

They managed to do up the frame for the entire area. I think we should be just left with the actual shelter and probably some final touch-ups? I wonder how many more days are required?

Mini Reno - Day 2

Hmm....nothing much was done today due to the heavy rain. Hence, the workers were only able to do up a few more poles to hold the structure. They have also helped to give a first coat of paint to the poles. Else it would be rusty in time to come....Guessed the job would be delayed!

*FIL came over to kpo too. :P* - Uploaded on 13 Nov 2010

Mini Reno - Day 1

We have been talking for the longest time that we wanted to do up the shelter for our patio so that the external area is not wasted. Else, day in day out, we are always confined to this small area in the house. So finally, approval has been granted and today is the first day of work!

They just set up the frame for my balcony area and nothing else has been done for the other side. According to XP, the works should be able to complete in a couple of days if nothing goes wrong :) Looking forward to a new look....

Yeah! Early Xmas Gift

Little Arielle requested to go to City Square Mall because she wanted to ride the 911 car again. XP agreed to her request while I found it xianz to visit the same mall again....

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

Nostalgic Background

I just love snapping my gal. Therefore, my camera is always with me wherever I go so that I can capture her beautiful moments anytime! I'm sure all parents are like me :)

Today, on the way to City Square Mall, we passed by this row of shophouses and I just love the flowery tiles that they got and couldn't help taking pic for Little Arielle. She loves the nice background too!!

Down with Gastric Flu :(

Little Arielle vomitted at about 1am+ this morning after we sent my parents back home from the airport. I initially thought that it was the grapes that she ate earlier which caused it cos she din really eat other things. Anyway, I cleared up her puke and she went to bed. Thought it was the end of the story.

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.

*Already cranky in the car* - Uploaded on 06 Nov 2010

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.

*Looking stoned while waiting for our turn. We are the last....* - Uploaded on 06 Nov 2010

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....

*Dr Sim checking on her stomach* - Uploaded on 06 Nov 2010

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

Well, it's not us but my mama and papa. They went to Osaka to visit my auntie and at the same time have a fun and relaxing time for about 2 weeks. It was also this reason why XP and I were on leave and created the opportunity for us to take 2 trips in 2 weeks hee....

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....

And when they finally came out of the gates, I actually forgot to take pic! Arrgghh blur me leh....we were all excited asking what they have bought and how was the trip....faintz....

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

BBQ @ East Coast

It has been the longest time since Mummy Me last ate BBQ food at a BBQ pit and therefore, I was super looking forward to this event when XP told me that the CRaVers are having a BBQ session today.

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!

We Are FLYING Again!!

Yes, we are flying again and the destination this round is to Phuket. It was a last minute booking and we were glad that we managed to make it. Hopefully the weather is good and we look forward to a holiday of sun, sea and sand!

Ah Go Go Gal

Was packing the items for tomorrow's trip when Little Arielle saw XP's sunglass and wanted to wear it. Hahhaa, she looked so cute with the big glasses!

Great Spending Today!

I have been comtemplating if I should go for the "Walking with Dinosaurs" show for the longest time because the tickets ain't cheap at all and I was afraid that Little Arielle would not like to watch.

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

*Isn't the tee cute :) Best of all, can have Little Arielle's name on it!* - Uploaded on 06 Nov 2010
