30 Jan 2011

I'm flying to Penang tomorrow with dear for CNY. This is the first time I spent my CNY with my significant other's family and will be from now onwards. (of course, unless I'm pregnant or something, maybe i can escape for a year or two. haha)

So to fit to my schedule, my family had our early reunion dinner yesterday, plus a bday celebration for our dad. I can see that my dad was really happy yesterday, especially when he received the ang bao from me. haha. (bday angbao and CNY combined - and yet he requested for another one -_-)

Dear also tried out his new camera lens yesterday on the kids. It's really nice. I like it too. haha~ As I'm lazy to learn those apertures thingy, I just use the mode dear sets. If the picture's not nice, I just switched to auto mode. The effect still turns out very nice! haha. Anyway, it's tough to capture active child's photo, so most of our pics are blur. We need to practice and brush up our photography skills!

Pictures on facebook!

Angry bird 343

I kept forgetting to post this picture here. This is the bird that we took care of for a week, before dear flew off for biz trip. He managed to capture this angry expression before it's lunch. That's really an angry bird. hehee

This bird, named 343(coz she was found at blk 343), is currently back with her savior. 343 was found in a big drain in clementi. 2 guys lifted up the drain cover and Suz went down to pick her up, and sent it to a vet. Having no injuries, 343 was free to go.. but the problem was, she's still a young bird and didnt know how to fly, so suz had to find someone to take care of her, since she already had her hands full.

We volunteered and took care of her for a week, and she had learn how to fly. However, she is still not able to let go to the wild because she is not able to feed itself. Thinking of monkey see monkey do, we return 343 back to Suz and hoped that 343 is able to learn feeding by watching Suz's crow and pigeon. Another week passed and 343 is still not able to feed for herself.

Let's hope that 343 is able to feed soon and leave to start its own family!

Cutie pies

Dear is in Korea right now. He tried to skype with me yesterday but my 3G connection at mum's house sucks. Plus, bro changed to openet optic fibre and yet (and highly unlikely) to install a router. Hence, no wireless. Sigh. The least I could do was to whatspp him. Whatsapping wasnt an easy task as well. I kept losing connection and kept re-sending msgs. -_- oh well, let's see how again tonight.

I'm staying at my mum's place this week and this means that I get to play with lil' yixin and yiting! Both of them are really happy to see me back (well, that's what i think from their rxns)! hee. Yiting has more teeth now! Haha! She's having 2 more teeth coming up on the top row, so cute! I just love her smile and her cheeks (+cheeky face) *melts*

This is pretty yixin all ready to go to school!

2nd week.

We are going to get D90 this weekend. :) One new toy to play! So excited! Yeah!

Plus, we are going shopping for suits/pants (dear) and probably a pair of flats for me. Yeah! Yeah!

Last but not least, after a few days of getting the iphone, I want to say thanks to Nat for installing whatsapp for me (then KK went to purchase the app after seeing mine coz it's really convenient and cheap when he's out on biz trip) and I managed to get linked up with my friend over in Aust as well. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Facial package

Went to Drx clinic yesterday and signed my first ever facial package that cost 1030 bucks. Also for the facial products and medication to curb my ongoing outbreak is another 230 bucks. Ouch. Felt a pinch, but I just hope that all is worth it.

Silly goose.

The silly goose in my house went to the airport counter, waiting for his flight to India (for biz). He only realised that his visa for India had expired upon attempting to check in. He then had to call the India counterparts and his boss who will be traveling with him and explain the situation. He rushed home and send the information required to his boss. Right now he is at India embassy first thing in the morning, trying to get his visa to be approved within today's working hours (fingers crossed) and rush to the airport and fly to India, if possible.

If not, he may have to cancel the trip. Gosh. A black mark made due to negligence.

But, I still have the goose with me.. hehee

Week 1, 2011

Just want to update a little on things I've done this week.

We finally got the TV and soundbar in the bedroom wall mounted... and bought extension and use cable wrap and 3M hooks to make the wires look less messy. I bought wall decals online (and still awaiting for delivery) to paste around the wires so well.

We also mounted a round metal piece in the study room. That's where we will place our collections of magnets from the countries that dear or we went to. :)

Also, I got bought the 3M hooks to hang up my masterpiece. A cross stitch I did a few months ago to celebrate our wedding.

We also mounted our wall clock. and I'm so loving it. It made the plain white wall looks interesting.

I bought a mouse to replace the faulty one at home. It's a cute one that lits up once I on my vaio. No picture, coz i'm lazy to take and upload anymore.

We bought a bar counter to place at the corner of our house. ;) The delivery is scheduled after CNY. So, picture will be up later.

Also, dear bought me an iphone (32gb), and I already started using it. Activated the sunsurf data plan from M1. Right now, my ipod touch is solely for music and gaming purposes and my iphone is for phonecalls and smses.

Quite a nice start of the year... BUT I was sick since 1st Jan.. and now I'm still sick. Self medication doesnt seems to help.

Oh ya! I have to say THANKS to my dad who helped me for the drilling and screwing, so that we can mount all those items up.

My 2011

I started off my year with my mum, my bro and sis family coming over to my house to have steamboat dinner. I really enjoyed myself, with mum helping in getting meat and some of the utensils lacking in my house, my sis getting drinks and prepared dessert, and myself buying those steamboat ingredients a day before with dear and mum. Though we didnt have the dinner together on a table (coz someone had to take turns in feeding the hungry kids first), we had fun.

After dinner, we sat around watching the serial 爱. We switched on the aircon and the kids had fun playing and jumping around on the sofa bed in the study room. They screamed and shouted and got into hyperactive mode. After the serial, when mum announced that they were going home, my sis's daughter Felicia made a request to stayover at my house. :) Of course I agreed! My sis hesitated for a moment and acceded to her request.

They got up early in the morning and shouted a bright "good morning" to me. I'm so happy. They are all so cute and innocent. ;p They said that they enjoyed the night's stay and will like to have more of these next time. We waited for brother-in-law to come and pick up sis and the 2 girls, and we went to have breakfast together before they headed home.

Right now, I'm feeling a bit sick-lish. No appetite at all. Blocked nose. Didnt have the energy to clean and tidy up the house. Lucky that I'm off the next 2 days so that I can recuperate and do some chores.

Anyway, I know. I'm having those maternal instinct. Tell you guys frankly, one of my new year resolution this year is to conceive.
