Happy 2nd wedding anniversary

Today is the 30th, which marks our 2nd wedding anniversary!!

As i mentioned earlier, both hubby & I need to work, so had already pre-celebrated this event.

I shld feel happy abt today, but when i received my timetable, i was rather disappointed, to b frank.. i requested to have a high-ability class (HA), but in the end, i got the last class, low-ability (LA).. n somemore has a super darling inside.. it's indeed a v challenging 2010 for me i assume.. but surprisingly, i thought i will b fuming mad n may go bonkers, but i was calmer than i expected..

Knock off near to 6pm.. played with our precious Jaden til it's time to go downstairs n wait for hubby at 8.30pm..

When Jaden & I were waiting for hubby at the bus stop, i received hubby's call.. he asked where I was.. he said he was going to JP, to buy me flowers, my fav blue roses.. i told him dun bother to specially go buy blue roses, as he was actually at Pioneer Mall florist.. but a pity no more blue roses.. then i told him any will do, no need to buy blue roses, but he said tat was my favourite.. but again i told him there's no need to as it will b troublesome.. So, in the end, he asked me to carry Jaden over to Pioneer Mall, n ask me to choose a bouquet..

I just told him to get a pink bouquet will do, n there he went to buy.. just a simple jesture from him.. said 'happy anniversary' when he passed me the flowers... every year, he would give me a bouquet of blue roses, even when we were courting.. even though there wasn't any blue roses this year, but i was equally contented.. coz this is 1 of the 'auto' act of him, as he seldom will b so 'auto'...

Felt tired today.. hubby too.. accompanied Jaden til near to 10.30pm then we came back home.. hubby was asleep, n here I am blogging, n also uploading the wedding pics of us 2 years ago into FB.. coz in the past, i refused to sign up an a/c there, uploaded all my wedding stuff into Multiply.. but most of the frds/colleagues didn't see my album, n many of them are in FB, so i decided since anniversary, as a memory sake, i upload into FB.. after uploading, i think i need a good sleep too.. as for the past weekends, Jaden didnt sleep well as he was sick, thus hubby & I were tired out too..

in a few more minutes, it will be the 31st... I must end b4 the clock strikes 12.. haha.. hereby wana say Happy Anniversary my hubby!

Gathering with my best friends

Mayb due to his cold, Jaden did not sleep well last night, thus i also.... look so much like a panda...



Yest noon, hubby went to his colleague's house warming, leaving me n Jaden at home til late noon then come back..



Early evening, fil called n asked about his precious grandson, obviously missing him! so we brought him over to acc him eat dinner, b4 hubby go for wedding dinner...



I went over to in law's house til Kelly n Rod were here to fetch me n Jaden.. Had an apptment with them, together with Mr & Mrs Lee, aka Michael n Jasline.. though hubby wasn't around with us, but i still agreed to go with them.. on the condition that Kelly had to come n fetch us.. luckily my best pal didn't complain... haha!! still came n waited for us.. of course, Princeton was here too lah!!



Had a nice dinner with them, though i didn't eat much.. after which, went to my house to chat a while.. coz Jaden was tired... after watching the Chelsea match, they went off.. I didn't wait for hubby to come back, so carried Jaden into the room n sleep..



Jaden's cold has not recovered... n slight cough now.. all thanks to me.. i transmitted the virus to him this time.. but no choice, no one helps to take care of him, as MIL will only be back on Tues late night ard 9-10pm.. Jaden has taken his medicine ard 7.30pm, n had slept b4 9pm.. i'm waiting for the laundry to b ready.. then go hang liao will carry Jaden into the room n sleep.. Tmr, i'll b alone with Jaden as hubby needs to work, but most prob my mum will come over n help me...



I really enjoyed chatting with this group of sec sch frds of mine... really treasured them as no one understands me more than them, esp Kelly... I koe no matter what, we will always b so close loh..

X'mas cum anniversary celebration

hubby n I need to work on 30th, which is our 2nd wedding anniversary.. so already decided to push the celebration earlier, to celebrate x'mas together...

23rd Wed, brought Jaden home n took care of him on our own.. 24th morning, went to JP Mac for breakfast, n then went to buy iPhone.. so now, both of us have the same phone! but damn, dunno how to use, still in the midst of exploring...

went back home to let Jaden take a nap, he woke up ard 2.30pm.. we were late to check in the hotel in HIA.. but nvm, we brought Jaden over to in laws' house 1st.. MIL was busy playing mj with her Son-in-law n gugu.. we acc Jaden til 3.30pm b4 we left to HIA... gugu's daughter Ting acc Jaden...

Reached HIA ard 4pm to do the check in.. went into our superior suite... put our things down, n went off to Causeway Pt to watch movie... had 2 free movie tickets from Cathay, to b used b4 31st Dec 2009.. bought tickets to watch Bodyguards & Assasins! not bad ya, but mood was slightly affected by a couple of China ppl, who kept talking in the theatre!

As there was still some time left b4 the movie started, we went to Jack's Place for dinner.. ordered the x'mas eve dinner set.. the dinner was great!!!

After the movie, we went back to in laws' house 1st b4 proceeding back to the hotel room, bcoz we both missed Jaden.. played with him til 10pm+ b4 we left... did the downcounting in the hotel suite, with room service of tenderloin steak n french onion soup! HIA gave us too many sweet memories, so always hoped to celebrate wedding anniversary there.. but hubby said, next time book a cheaper room... haha..

25th morn, went to Melting Pot Cafe for our buffet breakfast.. 10am+ drove back to in laws' house to see Jaden, hoping to bring him over to the hotel n suite to take a look b4 we check out at 12pm.. but PILs said dun wana go, as Jaden had not poo-ed.. scared later will b troublesome, n he needs nap ard tat time too.. so after acc them breakfast @ koufu, we dropped them home 1st n went back to HIA again to take a short rest b4 checking out...

tat evening, MIL went back to Muar to visit her BIL who is seriously sick.. initial plan was to b back on Sunday night.. but 1.5hours after they left home to Muar, MIL called FIL, to inform him that her BIL did not make it, just passed away.. the wake will b on for 5 days...

i'm also down with cold, so no choice, we still need to take care of Jaden on our own til Tues night when MIL is back from the funeral at Muar.. Wed will b having meeting early in the morn.. n i've not recovered fully.. hope my body can stand all the way lah.. now Jaden is taking his nap, almost going to wake up soon.. hubby went to colleague's housewarming, n evening has a wedding dinner, so i'll b all alone with Jaden...

This year's xmas not anything special... but was happy to have such a simple n yet blissful celebration with hubby.. i'll b looking forward to have flowers on our actual anniversary loh, see if hubby will buy or not haha!

Plans for our wedding anniversary

Hubby n I were discussing how to celebrate our 2nd year wedding anniversary, n of course it's not v smooth.. I'm having the school AGM meeting on the actual day, which is the 30th.. n thought of taking MC, in order to celebrate with hubby.. n know what? a coincidence was, it was hubby's shift that day too...

Hubby said, it will b too late to take leave.. so i was still thinking what we should do..

Just now surfed the net, to HIA's web site... my initial plan was, to celebrate our anniversary there.. book a room, n spend a night there... bcoz HIA gave me a lot of memories.. it was the place where we held our solemnisation, n the wedding banquet...

After some discussion, decided that mayb we book on 31st, n spend the countdown there.. but a pity no rooms r available.. i tried 30th, yes there are rooms for us.. but if to book 30th n celebrate on the actual day, both of us would need to do something to get ourselves free...

Having some serious thoughts, i tried clicking onto the x'mas eve 24th... there r rooms too! so i told hubby, y dun we celebrate earlier, we check in on 24th, do the x'mas countdown in HIA, n check out on 25th.. hubby agreed... so i went on to book a room...

Anniversary is only once a year... n for us, it's easy coz our solemnisation n banquet same day, no need to celebrate 2 times... i think just 1 night, spend the night in a good room also not v over.. so instead of booking a superior room, i went to book a deluxe suite room..

I'm so happy that the 1st step of the planning was confirmed! next, will be the present tat i'm going to get for hubby... it's going to cost me 1k for the room cum gift... gift i dun reveal so much until the actual day...

I wonder if hubby is going to get me flowers..n i think he will.. but present wise, i dunno.. highly possible he may ask me what i want, then go buy together... since we r celebrating x'mas n wedding anniversary together in 1 event, we can both go work on the actual day of anniversary..

Of course, on 24th, the check-in time is 2pm.. we would spend the 1st half of the day with Jaden.. most prob may bring him along, but evening time will have to trouble my in laws to take care for us for the night.. then 25th check out liao will go back to Jaden.. or if not, morning wake up, b4 going for breakfast, go back fetch Jaden n MIL over for breakfast in the hotel also can.. will see how things go... We'll be going over to HIA next week liao loh, oh my!!!

Last year also spend our anniversary there by going to the Melting Pot for a meal.. This year, will b spent in the suite room... I'm so looking forward to it!!! Hope things go on smoothly that day loh..

Wenxian & Xiaolin's Wedding 13-12-09

finally we went to attend Wenxian & Xiaolin's wedding last weekend..

Still remembered the time when i was still preg with Jaden, I acc them for bridal shop search, taste food at 88 Restaurant...

It's their wedding, n it's over last Sunday, had enjoyed ourselves well that night.. though Jaden wasn't in his top form.. but at least, it was better than i imagined... during the 1st part of the banquet he was still ok, until the yum seng part, he got a shock n started bursting out crying.. had a hard time comforting him..

btw, we went over to da bo's house as early as 8am.. Jaden was still sound asleep.. haha.. but everything went on well, even at the banquet.. all of us enjoyed ourselves, though feeling tired.. had been entertaining the m'sia relatives, n of course i felt tired too..

I helped Xiaolin to snap quite a number of pics... hope is useful for her.. as i think besides the pics from professionals, we help to snap a bit here n there is also good.. at least they get to koe some other details tat happened tat mayb cameraman didn't snap n yet we took it.. n it can b good memory!! just like my wedding, Jie En n my sis helped to snap so many pics, n when i looked at it, i was so elated as oh so tats what happened during this n tat time..

After their wedding, i think it will take quite some time to have another wedding in their family.. the relatives all went back yest, by diff groups.. now left xiaoshu n his family, who will b leaving on Thursday night.. hope can bring them shop n buy some things.. i envy the bond they have in this big family... n was glad that every1 of them r so friendly n nice...

we'll b going back to Kulim for CNY in 2 months time, n will see all of them again... See you guys soon!

Finally is the last jab

today noon, brought Coco for his last jab!!!! yeah..

after a few months of treatment for his skin prob, today marks the end of the weekly appointment..

A few months ago, Coco was diagnosed to have serious skin prob.. a lot of mites in his skin, tats y he always feel itchy, n sometimes he may even smell, even though he has had his bath..

he was on weekly jab.. n food also changed.. no more milk, dog snacks, bread, or even fruits... his annual injection was also postponed til last week, as we need to wait for his skin prob to improve b4 the vet agreed to have his annual injection done...

after consistent jabs every weekend, my mum was v concerned, feed him on time, bathe him, make sure he is ok.. so last week when he went for his jab, n scrap test done again, negative.. no more mites! which was a good news for us.. vet said this week will b his last, Coco need not go for his weekly jab animore.. but still need to observe his situation.. he diet still need to watch.. my mum n I were happy n relieved..

I hope Coco can always remain healthy n cheerful... he rarely fall sick.. in fact, besides his skin prob, he has never fallen sick b4!!! we r so proud of him.. small breed like him will not live long, but we treasure this puppy of ours, all the way til the end of his life..

wearing shoes

Jaden is already 1 year old.. but this naughty prince of ours refused to wear shoes.... n of course, being a harsh mama, i forced him to wear, even though he was rebelling!

Yest, went to SPH to collect Jaden's prize, which was from Young Parents.. it was located at Genting Lane... we let him wear sandals.. he felt uncomfortable... haha..

After which, we went to Expo for lunch.. hubby needs to go back work yest, so only mil n I together with Jaden.. Nothing much to see n buy from Expo loh.. saw L'oreal sale, but simply too many ppl, n the queue was so long.. i gave up..

Today, let Jaden wear covered shoes.. again, he was screaming n shouting, n crying of course, as usual.. i refused to give in, insisted to wear for him.. bcoz i want him to koe tat as he grows older, if wana go out, need to wear shoes.. he has already gotten used to b 'free'... Jaden is becoming v unreasonable... it's a test to my patience.. n of course, i felt irritated..

These 2 days when we go out, he was so sleepy, but simply refused to sleep in his 'sarong'... in the past, he would.. but dunno y these few days he just dun want to.. n was so cranky that i was so angry n frustrated... his mind is v wild, tired but still wana look around.. i dunno wat to do when we go for Wenxian n Xiaolin's wedding next week.. sure v dampen by his tyrantness.. it was really a headache as in what to do with this little prince... i was indeed irritated by his spoiltness.. really....

I will continue to try to make him wear shoes.. regardless he likes it or not.. hope i can always dun give in to his crying... i find it a real challenging task to make him an obedient child.. he is simply too stubborn n spoilt... he has to realise n understand that wearing shoes is a must.. n of course, he needs time to get used to it.. n i hope he can get used to it asap..

My Tuesday

went for car servicing this morn.. made an apptment with Kia at 10am.. went to Leng Kee, together with my mum...

we spent 5.5 hours at Redhill.. bcoz need to wait for my car to b ready.. received Kia's call at around 3.45pm...

we went to have breakfast at the market, then walk around, followed on by entering a hair salon.. i went to perm n dye my hair, while my mum did treatment n dye hair.. spent $190+ there.. of course i pay lah! hehe..

when my car was ready, the bill came up to $242+... reached in laws' house so late, n my precious prince was taking his nap.. morn b4 i set off to Leng Kee, i did go over n see Jaden 1st..

I tot i may have the time to make a trip down to SPH to collect Jaden's prize.. but i think if i can wake up early n get myself ready tmr, i'll drive down n collect b4 going over to in laws' house.. if not, will wait til Fri, when hubby is off, then go oso ok..

My Tues was just spent like tat, waiting for the car for almost half of the day... sianzzzz...

seriously sick

i'm really sick this time...

last week after Jaden's birthday bash, both of us were down with bad flu.. brought Jaden to see doc on Sunday.. doc said we got the same virus, need many days to recover.. so i was on MC on Monday...

Jaden's cold n cough come n go.. was supposed to recover soon, but dunno y yest the cold came again... still slight cough.. for me, worse..

Tues went back to work with a bad cough and slight breathing difficulty, but still manageable.. Wed went to work, my situation went worse.. my asthma was getting worse... my cough too.. i had to get my work review done n pass it to my RO, n apply my leave for 2010's CNY b4 i go.. official knocking off time was 5.30pm, but i couldn't stand it...

I finished off the 2 most impt things n left ard 4pm.. my breathing difficulty went worse.. i endured n drove back home 1st to rest.. ard 6.30pm, i went to Gek Poh's clinic to get a queue number..

the staff measured my temp n it was 38.3.. when it was my turn to see the doc, i told doc i had breathing difficulty.. he listened to my breathing n said it was very bad.. need to put me in the other room to use the breathing mask.. ever since i got asthma when i was 19, this time to use this machine was really many years back liao.. i had to use the mask n breathe for ard 15min, n it got better...

went back to the doc, was prescribed with plenty of med... on MC again today.. n got me an inhaler again, as mine was expired liao.. initially tot this week was short, i could bring Jaden home today but haiz.. who koes i got so sick..

was restricted to get near to Jaden, as he was on the stage of recovering too.. MIL dun want me to transmit fever to him.. i can understand.. n felt sad too.. in 369 days tat Jaden came to this world, yest was the 1st day tat i couldn't carry him.. he saw me n cried for me to carry.. i was so sad... but something strange hoh, i fever, MIL faster carried Jaden away from me, but another person fever, she didn't loh.. some friends shld koe who i am referring to.. is she implying tat i couldn't transmit virus to my son, but other ppl can??

but btw, it was Jaden who transmit the flu virus to me loh.. haha.. i slept early at 9+ yest, had ard 14 hours of rest.. i think i really lack of rest, ever since i delivered Jaden... n still felt sleepy now.. rested for another 2 hours just now again after waking up for 1hour.. n dunno y, my hands r trembling... quite badly.. i smsed, oso like tat.. mayb bcoz i'm sick..

told hubby if i get better tmr, will wish to bring Jaden home.. but he said no.. he said wait til i'm fully recovered then can... but i think i need a few more days loh.... how?? so sad... later i want to go over to in laws' house to see Jaden.. hope they allow me to carry Jaden loh......

Jaden's actual day birthday

held Jaden's birthday on Saturday, which was his actual birthday.. invited my colleagues, friends, hubby's relatives, family members, friends n some of his colleagues over for a celebration.. not an elaborate one of course...

luckily this time round was a better one.. compared to his 1st month showers.. haha..the food was great n the propotion was just nice!! as for his cake, was delivered to our house tat day.. when i saw many friends reached, i asked hubby y not prepare the cake... we decorated the cake provided by the person who baked for us.. when we brought the cake out to the living room, the guests' reaction was "wow, so nice".. i felt great listening to that...

Sung the birthday song to Jaden.. n he was smiling.. though he wasn't on real good form too, but at least he smiled during the song..

Jaden received quite a number of presents!! n the toys tat he received are great!!! as we spent quite a lot on the cake as it cost near to $200.. n buffet wise, we chose Neo Garden.. we didn't get the cheapest menu.. tats y the red packets that we received didn't get a lot too.. but i was happy tat every1 enjoyed themselves at our small little house..

the 1 who started doing 'anithing' 1st will always win.. i shall see the other person's birthday will b like what.. i had the banner, i had the cute n nice cake, i had the albums of Jaden's pics taken everyday, i had the album of Jaden's photography at the studio with us (whole pkg), i had the album of the unselected pics of the photography session, i had the family gallery pics tat display some pics of Jaden with hubby n I, I had the pics of Jaden each month he grows up.. what does she have?? I shall see... let's see how hao lian that person can b.. wana b more hardworking??? too late......

some ppl just cannot afford to lose.. anything oso cannot lose out.. i dunno y.. but since Jaden is 1st, then the rest who do after him are copycats.. sorry i dun mean any other ppl.. those close to me shld koe who i am referring to..

Finally his birthday was over, n Jaden is 1 year old now.. but as usual, spoilt.. haha... i hope for nothing else except for his health n cheerfulness.. Happy birthday my precious!!!

Jaden's birthday party (part 1) 14-11-09

As i said in my previous post, Jaden's 1-year-old birthday party was separated into 2 days.. just had the 1st session yest.. with my family n relatives... about 20+ people came..

But Jaden wasn't in his top form yest, very grouchy.. reasons might be, too many people.. he didn't have enough nap time..

Ordered mini buffet from Neo Garden, the food not bad.. Cake from Bengawan Solo.. not bad lah, but i find it too sweet... overall still ok lah.. can pass..

Had a great chatting session with both my paternal n maternal relatives.. but of course a pity some relatives can't b present due to some reasons.. We find it better this way to separate the session, so tat we can have time for them..

Managed to have the cake cutting session though the main role was v angry n crying.. Hubby represented Jaden to cut the cake, as i pantang, cake can only cut one time.. Jaden will b having his 2nd party next Sat, which is his actual birthdate.. so he will cut the cake on that day..

I felt bad as Jaden was in foul mood yest... my relatives, esp my cousins dun have the chance to carry n take pics with him... but luckily all of them were v considerate n accomodating... waited for Jaden to wake up from his nap, waited for him to calm down n enter the house again for the cake cutting session... thank all of them for being such great people..

My 5th uncle n family, together with my bro n his gf stayed behind to chat n watch soccer together b4 they went home... chatted with them happily too..

I just hope Jaden can b in a better form next Sat, as the number of ppl coming will b more than yest.. most imptly hope he doesn't fall sick b4 his birthday.. scared he get the virus... i so scared all bcoz of someone who is SUPER buay zi dong... very upset n unhappy.. the more i think about it, the more angrier i get.. DAMN.. act pathetic, but pls.. the truth is tat person is lying.. watever she wrote in fb, pls dun blif..

anyway, i try to divert my attention to Jaden's 2nd part of party.. I thank my relatives n family for making time to come over n eat, chat, n not forgetting their red packets n gifts for Jaden.. i just wish to have a gathering like tat with them.. it's fun.. haha!

Prize letter from SPH 13-11-09

Ppl always say Friday the 13th is always a bad omen, but yest's 13th the Friday wasn't to us..


Brought Jaden home yest.. when we parked our car, i went to open the letter box, n saw this letter from SPH..


Oh, it was the prize tat Jaden won in Young Parents August issue 2009.. pictures featured in the magazine will win a prize.. when i spotted Jaden's pic in tat issue, i grumbled for a few weeks,as in i didn't receive any toy/prize from YP.. was disappointed as til now didn't get it.. after a few weeks, i gotten over it, as thought nvm, it's ok lah.. but now, after 3 months of the issue, we got the letter of notification, to go n collect the prize..



It was a late notification i can say, n of course, i didn't curse n swear, neither am I too happy about it, as it was already over for 3 months.. but still, i will go down n collect the prize.. must see when i have the time to go down lah.. haha..



As i said, although it was a late prize, but at least i have a new toy for this precious prince of ours again!! ahaha.. isit a norm for them to inform parents to go down n collect the prize so late? mayb i shld try to send in 1 more photo, n see if Jaden will get selected again.. if he's selected to b featured in the magazine again, i shall see if i really need to wait for ard 3 months for the notification letter..

Buffet & Cake settled!

Jaden's 1st birthday is coming!! as some ppl who will koe, we r having his birthday bash in 2 sessions.. 1st will be next Sat 14th.. only my family n relatives r invited for the event..

My family has 20+ people.. during Jaden's 1st month showers, there were simply too many ppl, n yet too little space.. so this year decided to hold 2 times.. my parents also agreed.. so that we will have more own time to talk n chat..

This noon, went to Pioneer Mall Bengawan Solo to order the Disney baby cake.. chose baby mickey.. paid the money n will collect the cake next Sat noon, as the buffet will start ard 5pm..

Just now went online n booked the buffet too.. got Neo Garden for this session of celebration.. ordered online, so gonna wait for its confirmation..

These 2 things r the most impt part to b settled.. dun plan to make it an elaborate event.. just want to have a simple meal at our own house, n celebrate this little precious' birthday together as a whole family..

As for 21st, which is Jaden's actual birthday, i've already ordered the cake.. buffet wise, shortlisted the vendor we wanted, will order next week.. same thing, no elaborate decor, just invite some of our good friends n colleagues, parents-in-laws' side relatives over... So fast, Jaden is turning 1 in 2 weeks time.. i hope for nothing else, but to bless him with a healthy body.. n b an obedient boy...

by the way, Jaden had his haircut on Friday morn.. now very much shorter... look not tat 'pretty' lah.. haha..

Dinner with ex-colleague Yifen

This ex-colleague of mine is a good friend tat i got to know in PHPPS.. she went to Aust for further studies last year, when i was still in my 1st trimester carrying little Jaden..


Yifen came back to S'pore last week. n managed to meet up with her yest for dinner n ice-cream! missed her so much..



I felt sad sometimes when i see those close to me quit one by one.. Weixin, Kris, ZJ..all the same.. left the service, n leaving me still struggling in the profession.. but of course, after they left the service, they went on with their life better!!! haha...



Brought Jaden's pics for Yifen to see yest.. she has missed out so much abt Jaden loh... told her abt Jaden's bday bash on 21st.. hope to see her at the party loh.. Yifen is a christian.. n whenever we go out eat, will make sure we'll pray together 1st b4 we start our meals.. in the past when she was still with us, we would go for lunch together b4 we start work, as we were teaching in the PM session.. n sometimes would even go out for lunch during holidays, or even KTV, to relax..



Yifen was one of the colleagues that i get along VERY well.. remembered when she decided to leave, i was rather sad.. we even had nicknames for one another then.. we called ourselves the vegetables group.. she was tapioca, i was bamboo (was v thin n slim b4 pregnancy), Ms Priya as the potato etc... it was so fun then..



Although now she'll b permanently staying in S'pore, but she has no intention to go back into teaching.. relief duties r fine for her, but not full time.. how i envy her.. but i still have 1 year to count down loh.. finally...



I'm looking so forward to our next gathering leh!!

Dinner with my family

Fri went to have dinner with my family @ JP Pu Tien.. some disagreements that evening.. dun wish to talk abt it animore... n since it did not affect our mood to have dinner together, it's even better..

We brought Jaden along for the dinner.. n of course my parents r happy to see him around!!! my dad finally has the chance to carry Jaden, but a pity i did not snap pic of him with Jaden..

He quite like my sis i can say.. haha... he allowed to my sis to carry him loh... this baby hoh, really can b v naughty..



My mum was so happy that she can carry Jaden for quite some time.. spent ard 2 hours+ at JP b4 going home.. but bcoz my car cannot carry so many ppl, so my bro n sis went off to buy things.. so we drove my parents home b4 we head home...

We enjoyed the dinner, as we find the food actually not bad.. but i hope tat such incident won't happen again lah.. what we want is just to sit down n have our dinner together as a family.. n we did it!!

Jaden turns 11 months old today!

Today marks Jaden's 11th month to this world.. so fast hoh, he's 11 months old now...

just now evening when i stepped out of the lift, i can hear baby's crying.. thought who cried, but as i walked nearer to in laws' unit, i recognise the bad crying sound.. it was from Jaden! He hurt his hand.. too painful that he cried out bitterly n loudly..

FIL wanted to bring him out for a walk, when at the gate, Jaden tried to touch this n that.. n FIL didn't notice, Jaden swung his hand against the metal lock, n the pain made him scream n cry so bitterly.. oh my.. but no worries, he is ok now...

for Jaden's milestones, he can sit up on his own.. crawl (long ago), but now changed his crawling pattern.. now is 4-legged liao.. n he is learning how to stand.. several times, he showed his buttock high n legs straight, but couldn't get himself up.. haven gotten the right technique.. sometimes on the bed or on the ground, he crawl towards us, or a stool, he would grab n then make himself stand up.. n he is happy.. when we r ard to support him, he would even let go of his hands n see if he can stand straight.. but everytime he will fall.. luckily we r around to supervise this active baby... but sometimes he can hang on for that 2-3seconds b4 his buttock land down again lah..

his tooth came out a bit liao.. but wat's funny was, he only has 1 tooth coming out leh.. MIL says it's strange.. normally should have 2 teeth coming out together, y Jaden so special only 1... it puzzles me too leh..

N now, i tried letting him sit on the baby car seat.. tried for 2-3 days liao.. n this was done when it's only the both of us.. both me n Jaden..haven tried far locations yet, i think he will scream bah.. hehe...

Busy Saturday 17-10-09

brought our precious home as usual on Friday.. he slept as early as 10pm, n woke up ard 8.30am on Sat morn..

Brought him for a swim at St91 swimming complex, with his new thermal swimwear.. our little baby loved it.. that he wouldn't want to go home!! haha.. he really loved playing with the water, even though the water got into his eyes, he's also fine with it... haha..

should have brought his Ultraman waverider.. coz we only brought his neck float. he used it at home n he was fine with it, but yest when we put it on him at the pool, he was obviously very scared n cried.. so i had no choice but to remove it, n assist him all the way in the water..

after his swim, brought him home n i bathed him, then let him take his nap.. after which, went to JP for lunch, then went over to in laws' house..

Evening, we went for granny's bday celebration at Bedok.. our choice was right for not bringing Jaden along.. it was very hot, n i'm sure our precious cannot stand it.. we had a great time at the dinner.. so rare for all of us to sit down together...

reached home ard 10pm, as we were meeting Jas with Michael, Kelly with Rod & Princeton... they came over n watch soccer together.. ard 12am+ then they leave.. Princeton was tired so they had to leave..

Our Sat practically rather packed for that day ya.. haha.. but ok lah..

Very soon, it will be Jaden's bday, and i will get to see my good friends again..

I treasure this group of friends.. n i sincerely hope Princeton n Jaden can be very good friends, just like me n Kelly.. n i hope we can gather again soon loh.. coz i love all of them...

Just now, b4 hubby came home, he went to buy a small cake for MIL.. a simple birthday song, making wish, blow out candle, n cut cake..

N now after eating the cake, both hubby n I are at our own house, together with Jaden.. he is sleeping now.. slept ard 10pm after coaxing him, tats y i can blog.. but gotta go off liao, as i need to bring him back to the room n sleep..

The Praise Baby collection

has been working in an environment which religion is diff from my lifestyle.. since 2004 when i had my 1st practicum, til now, i'm still at the same place...

my good friends are all christians... actually when i started work at PHPPS, i was deeply attracted by its culture. Though not a christian, but i respect the religion.. n i loved their singspiration..

started reading bible a few years ago, but had not finished reading.. felt slightly bad about it..

recently, my mood has been quite bad.. really.. dunno is stress, tired, unhappiness bottled up for too long or what, i've been feeling rather foul... n today was 1 of my unhappy days.. will not elaborate more...

kept telling myself i must increase my EQ from that incident onwards, but i still failed today.. wat to do huh...

just now went to west mall with my mum.. walked into Precious Thots.. they were playing christian songs.. n i walked forward to take a look at the albums they displayed.. found 1 set which i myself rather like.. some songs were sung b4 by our ex-preachers, n i loved it.. after consideration, i bought it.. it's actually for babies lah.. but the rhythms are much soother.. a good piece of music to let babies or children to listen to..

when i went back to my car, i immediately put 1 cd in n listen.. n indeed my mood became better.. whenever i listen to christian songs, i feel so much better... soothed my emotions n was able to relax n enjoy the music.. i like it!! will let Jaden listen.. i'm sure such rhythm will benefit Jaden.. n of course must let him get in contact with diff sorts of music..

I'm going to listen to the CDs.... it's just so nice to listen to.. n i hope i can think, act better after listening.. hope the music can calm my nerves, and make me more reasonable..

Our Saturday

My Sat morn's plan was wrecked by the rain..... haiz... wanted to bring Jaden to Safra Jurong's swimming pool.. but who koes morn started to rain, the whole sky was dark.. there goes my plan.. nvm, will go next week!! specially bcoz of Jaden, i bought myself a new set of swimming wear too loh.. hehe

left our house at 1pm+ as Jaden was taking his 1st nap, after waking up at 9.30am.. went to IMM for lunch.. n next, went to bring him sit on the animal ride.. he was happy!! It was a cold day today, so we let him wear the jacket that hubby bought for him a few weeks ago.. it was obviously too big for him lah of course, but nvm lah, he can wear longer oso...

Evening, brought Jaden over to my mum's place.. He didn't cry this time round, phew... my mum was obviously v happy to see her grandson over, n yet no crying or shouting! Jaden was very curious about Coco, n kept looking at him.. n even laughed out a few times..

MIL went BBQ in the evening, so we acc my FIL go eat dinner.. my family met up with my other relatives just now.. thought of going over to meet them, but who koes by the time i bathed Jaden in the evening after dinner, coaxed him to nap, they had already finished their meals.. so i missed the chance to meet up with them.. quite disappointing actually.. but nvm, next week will meet again, as my granny's birthday celebration is next weekend.. n now more crowded, coz my sis is coming back on Tues!!! Yeah.. finally loh..

Tmr, i will b rather busy too.. haha.. gotta bring Coco for injection, n rush my remarks for the report books.. 22 more to go.. headache... but nvm, whenever i think of Jaden, i will b very happy... just hope weekends dun pass so fast..

4th Oct - trial class @ Gymboree

back date a bit.. been too busy with work, n was rather unwell... think gastric flu is coming back, but need to endure this whole week 1st, b4 i go see doc...

Last Sunday, went to Gymboree for trial lesson on Play & Learn class, for babies btwn 10-16months.. booked an apptment with them a few days ago b4 going.. helped Princeton booked a slot too..

went in the noon, luckily Jaden managed to wake up on time to set off.. but bcoz we parked our car at Vivo, so need to walk a distance to Harbourfront.. Kelly n family were there, so they started the class 1st, together with other parents who booked the same slot.. we missed the singing part..

subsequently, there were some 'tasks' for the babies to do n parents were expected to guide n support.. Jaden did not dare to climb up the slope, while other babies were doing it happily n confidently..

there were songs, games, n activities too.. Overall, Jaden was happy.. when playing the parachute game, he was laughing out loud.. so funny.. last part b4 the class ended, the in-charge would blow bubble for each baby, with the singing of the baby's name.. Jaden was the last.. 1 big bubble for him, reaction was to see if baby will go n touch the bubble, n indeed Jaden went to touch n burst the bubble.. after that, the in-charge will blow many small bubbles for them.. Jaden was curious n happy.. kept looking @ the bubbles that were floating around him..

A 45-min trial lesson.. n of course need to pay.. i dun wana apply for the membership.. coz i think once in a blue moon come n book for a trial lesson is ok... every week come down is not my cup of tea, as it is not near loh..n oso wana see how the class is like.. n at least i now koe how they conduct the lesson for the little ones...

went to have kopi with Kelly n family.. but bcoz hubby wana have dinner with his parents, so we had to reject Kelly n Rod for dinner.. they were disappointed i koe, but hubby said next time will have dinner with them... i hope so loh..

Though the lesson did not REALLY interest me that much, but at least i koe what it is all about now.. i dun mind booking another lessn for the next stage of learning.. but will depends by then if i'm still interested in going..

Bought GPS - finally

1st Oct was Children's Day, both hubby & I didn't work, so brought Jaden home on Wed night.. as planned, we went JP shop... n spent $$$$ loh.... sob sob..

Initially saw a 42" TV on sale from Courts.. shortlisted 2 sets.. but in the end chose the other set, with no vouchers.... hmmm... n damage was 1.5K... now in the living room liao, as it was delivered over yest noon.... the current 1 tat we had has been moved to our master bedroom, for me to watch tv if i were to b in the room... gotta go starhub buy 1 more SCV box on Sunday!

went to Kiddy Palace, as hubby mentioned wana buy 100 coloured balls for Jaden, n there we went... indeed Jaden was happy to see so many balls in his playzone... hehe...

I told hubby i wana buy a GPS... so tat i won't lose my way animore loh.. i poor in looking at maps.. n always been very resistant in going to places tat i dunno or unsure of.. esp north, east side places... went to Challenger, told the salesperson i wana get an idiotic-proof GPS, n user friendly.. i myself dunno which is good.. so when the salesperson say this model quite ok, then i didn't ask any further or ask him to demonstrate, just took the box n go pay liao.. haha..

Later this evening, gotta go Orchid Country Club to attend a wedding dinner.. hubby's polymate's wedding,, they came to our wedding in 2007, so this time round, we r going too.. both the groom n bride r hubby's polymates, n they r v adorable group.. 1 of my shortlisted venue for banquet, but gotta eliminate as it was too far.. hehe.. now finally has the chance to go there in see.. looking forward.. so later my GPS is going to be useful!!! Yeah, i will not lose my way again!

Jaden's playzone

Had always wanted to buy the play yard, but didn't buy until now...

Had ordered the 6-panels play yard for our little prince, as he is learning how to stand.. very dangerous.. discussed with hubby then bought it.. the person delivered over today, as i ordered it ard last week.. just got it fixed... hubby was happy with it!

Hubby said Jaden sure like it, coz got some toys in the panels which can roll.. n hubby said since Jaden likes the coloured balls so much, he wanted to buy 100 for him to play.. i said ok, Thur we go buy, since Thur is holiday coz of Children's Day! yeah, holiday again!!!

Told hubby i wana bring Jaden home on Wed night, n he agreed.. so we'll b so looking forward to Jaden's return back home, as he din return home for 1 week liao...

Will also do some shopping at JP on thurs... wana buy 2 stuff.... $$ gone again..

Another thing to share is, Jaden's tooth is coming out! Today, found his gum there stick out 2 white thingy... oh my, tooth fairy is here.. ppl told me the later their tooth come out is better.. old saying, ard 9 months old will have teeth.. in the beginning i was afraid y Jaden didn't catch up with the progress, but colleagues all said better not have tooth early, as it will decay sooner too.. so i was like phew.... the now 10 month+, started to see it coming out... n now Jaden can sit up on his own liao....... phew....

After fixing the playzone, hubby n I were feeling that it was good investment.. though shld have bought it earlier, but it's never too late ya... haha!

Visiting my maternal grandma

It's been a long time ever since i went to visit my grandma.. my maternal grandma.. who loves me a lot when i was young, n even til now..

Yest brought Jaden home... this little mischievious of ours is learning how to stand.. he wana practise.. kept practising when we reached home.. very ambitious..

He woke up v early today.. 8am.. so we no choice gotta wake up too.. suddenly felt like going to visit my grandma.. as it's been a long time ever since she saw Jaden too... so hubby & I went over...

Jaden didn't cry, luckily.. we chatted for a while.. tried to let my grandma carry him, n surprisingly he was rather ok.. my grandma was very happy!! There r 2 big fish tanks in the living room.. so i let him sit down n see, n Jaden loved it too.. haha..

After sitting n chatting for ard 20min, the sky got so dark that i told my grandma we better set off, as my grandma house there no shelter... after passing her some $$, we proceeded back.. My grandma kept laughing as she also find it surprising that Jaden did not throw temper in her house.. n of course, hubby & I were rather happy too..

A very cooling day today.. we brought him back to my in laws' house 1st as he was tired.. then hubby n I went JP eat breakfast with my mum..mum bought 3 clothes for her grandson loh.. haha.. thank u mummy!!! but who koes when we were back in the noon, mil told us tat Jaden fell from his tricycle just now.. my fil was v angry with her that he ignored my mil for a few hours, n his face was very black n sour.. obviously he heart ache to see Jaden fall.. but no worries, Jaden is ok.. no hump in the head... but really, can't let him b alone for that 1 minute or so, very dangerous..

grandma told us, when we r free, do bring Jaden over again.. i'm sure she will miss him!! haha

1 week break ending soon

Jaden is a good sleeper i can say.. whenever we bring him out, after a few hours, he will b tired.. later when he wakes up, will bring him go out eat dinner.. still dunno where to go...

It's so rare to take care of him for the whole day myself... only when both hubby n I r at home.. hubby did not opt for OT this week, so i suggested to bring Jaden home n take care ourselves.. FIL asked for Jaden yest when he came home half day.. we brought him over for a few hours, n then come back home again.. today whole day not going over to my in laws' house..

Though it's just a short 3 hours KTV session, which i think i had not had my heart's content, i'm sure i will 'try' to have another singing session again.. i need to train my skills again.. coz i gave myself a new nick: KTV queen.. hehe... joking lah..

Didn't realise i can still remember the lyrics!! call me the queen of KTV!!!
