Jiamin's wedding @ Rochester Park

Just now, went to Rochester Park for my colleague Jiamin's wedding cum ROM ceremony.

She had a simple wedding, v casual n relaxing ceremony. Luckily I had my GPS, so did not lose my way, phew!

She is a v cheerful lady, n now finally become a Mrs, joining our Mrs Club, congrats Mrs Koh!

Wat coincidence i found was, when we came down from the 2nd storey, the song was Perfect Moment, the song which we had for our 1st march-in when we had our wedding banquet 3 years ago. they held the ROM ceremony 1st. N koe wat? the wedding vows tat they recited, was also the same as ours! Just tat 3 years later's today, the main casts are different.. haha...

After which, started the buffet. It was a simple event. We all chatted and took photos.. B4 the event ended, they marched down again, same gown n suit, with an additional hat on their heads. followed on by cake cutting, n then champagne pouring. it's blue n white theme, so nice!

It was considered my 1st encounter with such wedding theme, outdoor somemore... It was a pleasant event. I wish the newly wed couple a blissful life ahead, and may they grow old together! Congrats again Jiamin!

Jaden turns 22 months old

Wow, so fast, today is the 21st again.. n this is September, which means Jaden has turned 22 months old!! time really flies...

Now is a toddler le! n of course, still as naughty n stubborn.. hope this situation will improve when he enters school..

Last week, a vendor who sells Children's Day gifts was here.. i actually bought the gifts ready le, so just went to see wats interesting tat i can buy.. decided to order a set of name stickers for Jaden..

Looked through the whole booklet n liked the new set of mickey n friends sticker! very shiny n nice loh! so ordered a set for the little guy.. Collected it today loh! happy! I have 2 sets for myself previously.. n didn't manage to finish using, so did not order for myself this time...

i wish Jaden can always be healthy n cheerful... n of course, i also hope he can be more obedient n listen to instructions better, n not do it when i turn angry... i also hope he can be more responsive n assure me tat he is really a normal child... Seeing him smile n laugh everyday brightens up my day too..

though taking care of a child is not easy, but i think tats the great part of being a parent. esp if we r involved in taking care of him/her. n i'm v sure tat daddies cannot do as well as mummies.. n daddies won't sacrifice so much like mummies! hahahahahaaha...

1st experience at the flea market

It was an interesting Saturday i could say.. it was my 1st time involved in the flea market...

It was held at Bedok Central... was told by my sis as 1 of her best frd got a few tables, n my sis was interested to get a table frm her to sell our 2nd hand stuff!!!

So, my bro was the driver.. drove us down n then drove us home! my sis, mum & I packed the stuff which we wanted to sell.. reach Bedok at 3pm.. but the committee only started to arrange the tables at 3pm, so we went off for lunch 1st while waiting..

We had plenty of clothes, toys, stationery to sell.. btwn $0.50-$2....

We ended the whole event at ard 9.30pm... it was the wrong crowd i could say... it's more for family members, coz there was Mid Autumn festival celebration with performances n lucky draw. They weren't interested to look at the flea market.. which only had 9 stalls including us..

But we still managed to sell off some things which we were less expected! haha.. after deducting the rental fee for the table ($5), n the plastic bags tat we bought, we still managed to earn ard $20+... actually we dun expect to make how much profit, only wished to clear the stuff, as it occupy a lot of space, n we dun need them animore.. so if can clear them off, we dun mind selling off at $1...

It was v tiring, as Fri already knocked off so late as 9.30pm, n even brought Jaden home on Friday nite, where he did not sleep well tat nite.. but afterall, it was a great experience to b involved in the flea market.. will look around for other flea market, n aiming for maids crowd, so tat we can clear the clothes off!

By the time we reached home was 11.30pm.. dead beat! but this experience was great lah i could say.. bcoz i never was involved in such activity.. hope will have a 2nd experience!

Jaden's new look

Our little prince's hair is getting longer, n the sideburn is touching his ears.. sometimes the hair made his ears itchy, n he had to rub his ears...

Brought him to the barber this morn, b4 i went to work.. as usual, the barber shop became a pig slaughter shop... Jaden was crying v badly when the barber was cutting his hair... i think the barber cannot stand him...

He cried til he nearly vomitted... after being 'tortured' for ard 10min, the hair was done.. MIL quickly carried him away from the barber shop as he was still crying like mad..

After coaxing for 5min, he cooled down.. i drove them back home, as i need to go to work.. MIL need to bathe him.. but of course, he does look neater with short hair... i still prefer him in longer hair, makes him look more refined... i dun like him in short hair.. but no choice, he will sweat.. short n neat hair is better..

Now, finally his hair is short.. i think i will make him cut hair again b4 he goes to sch in Jan... with his this hair, it makes his cheeks even more chubbier!!! n his cheeks r rather rosy!! i love to pinch his cheeks loh! haha!

Happenings on 09-09-10

09-09-10, Thursday, was a happening weekday!

My best pal, Kelly, gave birth to little Paris on tat day... Agreed to visit her in the evening, esp when Jaden wakes up from his nap..

So, tat day morn, decided to bring Jaden out for water play! as the lunar 7th mth was finally over.. Jaden can start his water activities... Initially was thinking to bring him to Science Centre to play.. so we went to Jurong East to eat breakfast 1st.. Jaden ate half of my duck rice, but only the rice, not with the meat... Then we proceeded to Sci Centre, but who koes each adult need to pay $8... we had 3 adults, together with my mil.. hubby said it was v exp loh... n even if we paid to go in, Jaden still so young to understand all those stuff inside, so decided not to go in... Jaden kept looking at the water playing area.. it looks fun..

Then we decided y not go to IMM since so near.. So, we walked off. Jaden was rather unhappy... haha.. after some coaxing, he finally calmed down.. When we reached IMM, we went straight up to 3rd floor... He saw the water, n started to laugh.. we quickly let him change into his thermal swimwear, n there he went, started to play..

Luckily, there was no 1.. so Jaden had all the fun by himself.. he laughed so loudly loh.. obviously happy.. but of course, soon after many kids came n joined in.. Jaden played for 1hr+, n we had to bring him back.. cannot play too long lah.. he was super angry n started to cream n shout... He was actually tired, but refused to leave.. coz he had no more energy to run ard, he sat down n pat the waters on the ground.. his eyes were slightly reddish liao.. aiyo, this toddler loves to play water too much..

Brought him back to in laws' house... soon, for less than 15min, he dozed off n started his nap, all the way til 5.30pm.. I need to feed him porridge 1st b4 setting off to TMC.. so here drag there drag, we only started to leave Jurong at ard 6.30pm

The traffic was bad, v bad.. slow traffic due to knocking off time... n oso there was a car accident.. hubby initially not v willing to bring Jaden along, but I wanted to.. finally when we reached TMC, oh my, the queue to go into the carpark was VERY long... TMC carpark space too small i can say.. hubby got a bit fed up, partly bcoz of the jam, n now the queue.. commented tat if i ever conceived a 2nd 1, dun come TMC n deliver.. oopps.

We made a U-turn to the opp carpark... n need to cross the bridge... finally reached TMC... haiz.. Jaden not v cooperative, as usual... b4 stepping into the ward, he started crying.. Finally got to see Paris loh.. looked like Tian, but Paris more radiant.. n her eye brows n v nice loh... the Aw family oso came... Delroy as usual so cute!!!! but the main role was the little princess n the wonderful mummy!

We only stayed for near to 1hour.. coz Jaden was making a fuss, n hubby was getting irritated.. he told me to leave, so i had no choice but to tell them tat we r going off 1st..i carried Paris loh, oh my! it had been a long time ever since i carried a newborn! have lah, 1 day ago on the 8th, i went to my ex-colleague's house, Kris, to visit her n her daughter Claire, i oso got carry.. newborns r so fragile n adorable...

Kelly is discharged today.. n her confinement starts.. tmr i will go over n visit her again... n wana carry Paris!! So happy for her as 1 more family member joins her family. Jaden will have 1 more meimei to dote on le.. Looking forward to tomorrow man!

Unlucky week - SICK

I'm so sorry tat i've missed my blog for so many days.. many should koe tat i was sick.. the worst sickness i ever had...

I always have gastric prob.. sometimes will have gastric flu, but this time round was the worst gastric flu i had in my life..

After the Teachers' Day dinner, the next day evening started to vomit... Hubby brought me to see the doc.. not even halfway to the doc, i vomitted again... doc said my stomach v bloated, n was down with gastric flu.. so gave me thur n fri MC.. thus i go on earlier 'holiday' compared to my other colleagues.. but it's not fun at all...

i was so sick tat i did not have any appetite for ANY food.. not even drinking.. coz if i drink, even plain water, for less than 5min, will go toilet vomit again... was either now diarrhea, later part of the day vomit, or vice versa.. even til today, i still have diarrhea.. but now no more vomitting.. cross fingers lah..

Sat, thought i might b better.. met up with my best pal for dinner.. we were njoying our 6-persons gathering, 7 to b precise.. 1 in kelly's stomach haha.. who koes after we parted, we went carpark, i told hubby y i felt so itchy all over... for less than 10min, my face, legs, hands, ear appeared feng mo... we quickly brought Jaden back to my in laws' house, n hubby brought me to the doc again...

doc said i needed a jab, or else i no need to sleep le.. so no choice.. the jab was painful loh mind u! wat an unlucky week for me.. not recovered from my previous sickness n now down with feng mo.. but after the jab, the feng mo disappeared...

i dunno wats wrong with me this week.. can only say i'm being poisoned or cursed... Jaden til today also has diarrhea.. but frequency not so much le.. wats wrong huh... i joked with hubby tat we should b able to recover fully on Wed, coz tats the day when the lunar 7th mth will b over... should b cursed right? or else y so suay... but aniway no matter what reason it might b, i'm feeling much ok,though nausea n visiting toilet is still part of the 'programme' for me.. all i hope is, i can really 'recover' on Wed.. cannot stand such feeling.. it is bad...
