New Luggage Bag!

Have considered for the longest time whether I should get a luggage bag for Little Arielle. Everytime when we travel, she wants to kpo and help us with our luggage. At times, she would also ask why she doesn't have one especially when she saw kids either of her same age or even younger carrying one. I missed the last round when one of my colleagues was collating the order. Actually, I wasn't really sure at that time whether to get it or not.

But as we went for more window shopping and I kept seeing the same luggage selling online, I decided to get one for her. Afterall, you are only a child once! If I have the means, I should probably buy things which will make her happy :p Somehow, I think it is also fated. I tried to get in touch with the seller which my colleague got the luggage from, apparently, the price wasn't that attractive at $89 and I had to self-collect. Then, I saw a shop in Forum selling it with 10% discount but needs to pay with HSBC card. Somehow, I missed that too :( But hee....I was lucky when I chanced upon a seller, selling at SMH @ $87 and offers free delivery for purchases $90 and above. And so, I added a saddle bag for her and that simple bag costed me $30!!

The items were delivered today and the person was kind enough to allow COD. Mama thought that the saddle bag was free! Faintz!

In any case, showed Little Arielle and she was super excited because she can pull the bag and sat on it too! Was happy that she loves it and kept asking me to take a pic of her and the luggage :p *The famous Trunki lugguage bag* - Uploaded on 5 Jul 2011

Missing Clothes!

Even though Little Arielle has lots of clothes, Mummy Me can still remember what she has! Apparently, I can't find one of her denim shorts and 1 bumble bee tee. I wonder where they have gone to....

Shit lor! Gotta continue the search :(

Hacker!!

Around 1 - 2 weeks ago, Little Arielle managed to hack XP's iPhone, and was happily grinning away! Eversince, I have been cautious with my pw and guess what! She still managed to break the code today! Hmm left handed more brainy or she's good at peeping?

Good Service!

From Julia Gabriel! Allowed me to get 1 make up class!

Trial Class @ CMA

Had to drag myself out of my comfy bed at 7.30am cos Mummy Me has made an appointment for her to attend the trial class @ CMA today :)

Finally, was out of the house at 8.15am. Reached the school at about 8.30am and the teachers were already ready. Little Arielle was the first student and I went into the classroom with her. The teacher was friendly and she was patient with Little Arielle. I stayed in the classroom for about 5 minutes and left shortly when I saw that Little Arielle was kinda settled down :)

Had a hearty chat with the counsellor and was surprised that her son at 3.5 years old has already gone for 4 - 5 types of classes! Hmm....seems like Little Arielle is lagging behind such a fair bit! But start late is better than no start :p

I came back for Little Arielle 1.5hrs later and the teacher gladly showed me what has been taught during the class as well as her progress. Hmm....seems like she is doing very well just on her first lesson. Best of all, she said that she likes the class as well as the teacher! That's great! If so, most probably I will be signing her up for the class....

A Bigger Hole In My Pocket!

This time round, the spending is not on clothes. It's basically my investment for Little Arielle's future! Have signed her up for English and Mandarin classes and finally received confirmation that her seat is confirmed! Just her Mandarin class alone, it cost $800 for 2 terms! That's about $40 per lesson! These people really know how to make $$! I sure hope that Little Arielle will benefit from it. Now need to check on the cost for her English class liaoz! Sigh....where to get more $$ huh?

CMA - Mental Arithmetic

Popo has been pestering Mummy Me to enroll Little Arielle for abacus class so that it can train her brain and she would be able to do mental sums fast. Finally, I found out from my friend that her son is in such class and got her to recommend :)

Today, I found time to give a call and have arranged for a trial class for her this Sat. It cost $5 and the session is for 1.5hrs. Thought that it's a good deal for a trial class cos the actual cost is $28. Per term will be $280 for 10 lessons. If everything is okie, I will register her for it liaoz.

Hopefully she likes the class this Saturday :) And next up will be piano lessons for her :p and I also took the chance to send a reminder email to Julia Gabriels and Little School of Big Dreamers to check on the status of my application.

If all gets approved at the same time, wahhh I gonna spend big bucks on it liaoz!

Competiton Day 2011....

Mummy Me specially took leave today because Little Arielle is participating in the Little Miss Glamourous! She got into the finals last year and I was hoping that she can do it again this year cos she won't be able to participate next year as she would be out of the age range!

It was very rush for me even though I was on leave. Sigh....seems like I still have problem with time management! When I reached mama's house, it was already 4.45pm and competition is gonna start at 6pm. Mama quickly tied up her hair while I iron her dress. Spiltting of work helps and we were out of the house at 5.15pm. Decided to take a cab and heaven is on our side when we got a cab in less than 5 minutes.

Finally reached our destination at 5.30pm :) Got everything ready and we are just waiting for the competition to start.

Soon....it was time for her to be up on stage. Those contestants before her, some were very good while others were too shy and got off the stage in less than 1 min. Little Arielle became scared and wanted me to accompany her up on stage. Sigh....it's been so long and she is still afraid? Thought that her modelling has helped to build up her confidence? Seems like long way to go.... Anyway, managed to persuade her to go up alone....

She managed to answer all the question and sang a song. But from her voice, you can feel that she is not steady....

The results were out in a while and as expected, she din make it to the finals. Though I'm disappointed but nevermind, at least her consolation prize this round is so much better than what she got last year - catering voucher from Four Seasons (which we did not use after all).
