Went to Serangoon Garden Sushi Tei for a delicious farewell lunch. My two male colleagues were so nice to give me a treat. First time I have been there and I really love the food and ambience there. I think I will try to bring my DH there too but he’s not really a Japanese food lover. Anyway, look at what we have..
Today is my last day at work with this small local company. I’ve been here for 7 years and that’s why maybe I’ve got the ‘7 years itch’ that lead me on to find my greener pasture. This co. have witness several milestone of mine such as me turning 21, getting married & of course having my DS. I’m feeling kind of sad but at the same time quite look forward to a new beginning. I don’t know if I had make the right move but nevertheless, there is no turning back now. I’m glad I’ve got a supportive husband plus my sisters to count on. Also, I think I will not have any more chance & time to update my blog so frequently liao plus no more msn and visiting of my favourite forum (which I have get to known some great mummies there). But think all this are some minor sacrifices that I will have to accept. Lastly, thank you people for popping by my blog and if there’s any chance..I will definitely try to update my blog. So stayed tune =p
I took ½ day leave to go to ICA Building to collect my new Biometric Passport. Was told that the waiting time is a killer there, so I actually went there well equipped with a magazine, fruits & fruit juice. Waited for an hour plus and after everything was settled, decided to take a train to Bugis Junction for my shopping therapy. After a few hours there..brought a pair of swimming goggles, care bear training cup which have soft spout for DS , Ariel drinking cup with straw for my niece, DKNY watch for cousin birthday, clothes for DS. DH came over after work to find me and we then crossed over to Bugis street. Lots of nice and affordable clothes there..Really love shopping there but still got a few days more then pay day..so dare not anyhow splurge. Brought myself a grey cardigan & a brown top there and after that we proceed to OG for more shopping. DH brought a pair of Oshkosh shoes for DS.
After all the walking, decided to settle our dinner at the hawker center and we ordered the Famous Waterloo Chicken Rice..It was very delicious lor and after the very filling dinner, we saw that the Fried Carrot cake looked delicious too..So DH went to queue and tar bao back as supper. Crossed over to Sim Lim as DH is still looking for his flat screen monitor but most of the shops were already closed for the day. Because we wanted to take the NEL train back to Sengkang, the nearest train station would be at Little India. Went over to Tekka Market to buy a bit of groceries before taking the train back home.
DS woke us up at ard 7plus for his morning feed. After his feed..we brought him to the market as I wanted to do some marketing plus to buy breakfast for the DH niece & BF. We had our usual breakfast and so did DS (normally I will just buy a bao for him). Went back & started preparation for DS lunch. First time I brought the cod fish for DS. Me nearly puked coz I really dislike fishy smell but for DS no choice.. Got to try and tahan a bit. DS by then was feeling grouchy as he wanted to take his morning nap but when he saw DS niece..he wanted to play with her lor..So no matter how hard I tried..couldn’t get him to sleep. So let him watch “The Wheel On The Bus” VCD which I brought for him recently and he really loves it lor..His eyes was liked glued to the TV and can see that he enjoyed watching the VCD very much.
After DS nap & lunch time, we went over to my elder sister place to collect things from her and at the same time, she had offered to help me baby-sit DS, while me & DH can go over to causeway point to shop. After round of endless shopping for a white shirt..Finally found something which I like at KP but its not totally white lor..Its lime green polo shirt with white base..Anyway, think I will just settle for the polo tee. Shopped till 8plus then went over to pick up my boy..*Thanks sister for your help*
DH niece & BF came over to our hse on Friday night to stay for a night. Actually, they wanted to bring DS for a swim on Saturday but I had already had plans for that day so they just came over and played with DS. When they came over at 10plus..DS was already sleeping liao but my neighbour dogs woke him up at ard 11plus and DS was at first quite surprise to see them but warmed up after a while. DS was happy to play with them till 12plus which by then..I was already half a zombie liao. But the good news is..DS finally wants to hold the bottle by himself and when DH tried to help him..he even pushed DH hand away. “Good job Jayden..Mummy is so happy for you & happy belated 10mth old to you!!”.
It’s been such a while since I did my last update. Let me briefly summarize ba..
08/09/07 (Sat)
Brought DS to compass point for a shopping trip again. As usual, he was super happy lor..but I’m still searching high & long for a white shirt for him. To think that he got lots of other colour clothes at home except white and our family is going to attend a party on 29.09.07 & the our table theme is white.. Been searching for so long liao yet I have brought none. Actually..got nice clothing..but some either don’t have DS size or are really ex. lor (Dun want to overspend juz becoz of a party). Think if I really can’t find anything suitable, I will just settle for other colour clothes. So long as me & DH wear the theme colour can liao lar..Dun want to stress myself further.
09/09/07 (Sun)
Brought DS to see a doc coz he was coughing quite badly for the past two nights and it seems like he have got lots of phlegm. Moreover, he vomited out a bit of milk during feeds. We tried to give him some med for phlegm which we have brought from PD previously as standby med. But the med like no effect leh. So me being the paranoid one, decided to bring DS to see doc in case his phlegm got into his lungs. The doc told me that the sound which DS made was not cause by phlegm but by his saliva and he cough is maybe due to the med which we have given him and irritated his throat. Was so relieved to hear that.. Asked doc to take his weight too and sad to said..DS now weigh only 7.9kg nia. Seems like DS only up his weight by 0.1kg per month.
Afternoon went over to my sis hse for a while. Actually, we wanted to go early for lunch but DS slept till 1plus then woke up. Quickly give him his lunch & bath him coz me & DH were staving. Lunch was horrible but was too hungry to be fussy. Reached my sis place abt 4pm & stayed till 5plus before we went over to MIL place for dinner.
10/09/07 (Mon)
Was on leave for a day to do my own stuff after which I met DH for dinner at Suntec. Wow..the Food Republic at Suntec was so nicely decorated and the food there were delicious too. I brought prawn noodle soup which was surprising very good (coz normally I don’t eat soupy stuff), and so was the stir-fried prawn noodle that DH ordered. But food there can be ex lor..DH ordered a cup of tea for $1.50 =p After dinner, we went shopping ard the area as I’m still looking for suitable clothing for DS. Ended up..brought my own stuff instead..Hahaha.
Last Sunday, we went over to DH sister place for lunch & dinner.. DS was in a good mood that day so DH niece bf faster took out his camera & tooks some pics for DS (Click on the pic for a better view)...
Last night went to watch 881 with DH at AMK. This was kind of last min. decision as I called DH ard 5.20pm to ask whether he wanted to go watched any movie. So he suggested why not go to AMK to watch 881 and so at 5.30pm sharp, I left the office to meet DH. Actually, we wanted to watched the 7.20pm slot but to my surprise..DH told me left only the first row seat which both of us don’t like. So DH got the 9.30pm show and that left us with 3hrs to roam ard AMK. First, we settle our dinner. Actually, wanted to try the Gong Bao Tian Chi..but hor.. the promo was buy 2 get 1 free..then DH didn’t want to eat that. Hmmm.. so I settled for the next best dish..that is the Gong Bao Chi while DH had the Lor Mee. After that is shopping time, as I wanted to buy DS his first lantern. But hor, DH said that now DS everything oso want to put inside his mouth..Later if he put the electrical wiring into his mouth, can be dangerous lor. So too bad..no lantern for DS. Then we decided to walk over to AMK Hub as I wanted to do more shopping.
Finally, can totally enjoyed shopping becoz with DS..it is super difficult to walk into every shop to see see look look. Brought 2 pairs of brown shoes and also cakes from crystal jade before we slowly walked back to Jubilee as the show as abt to start. So reached the cinema at 9.30pm and went straight into the hall. Half way throughout the movie..duno izit the aircon too cold or was it because I drank the soya milk, my stomach was feeling really uncomfortable, crampy kind of feeling. Some of the jokes I juz couldn’t laugh out loud..But luckily, the pain subsided after a while and I continue to enjoy the show. Show ended at 11.30pm and we stayed over at IL’s place for the night. Tonight, we are watching getai at AMK..Hope tonight getai will be entaining..
Juz checked my bank account and have another shocked..Alamak..why inside so little $$ liao. Pay day was just few days ago and now my account looks so pathetic. This week going dinner with friends and family too..still got 1 big present to buy (cousin 21st birthday), Hp bill of $60plus to pay, Co. pray pray..Hmmm…all the above means my bank account going to be poorer by another few hundred bucks. The worse part is..I’m going to start work in a new co. so my wardrobe needs a slight revamp plus I badly need some decent working shoes. Been spending $$ like nobody business these few days and still got so many things to buy. Sigh! Money not enough leh.. Sian!
Brought DS to the market on Sat morning coz wanted to buy some ingredients for his porridge. On our way there, DH met his sec school mates and while both guys were chatting, decided to take some pics for DS using my camera phone. After they were done, went over to buy my bak tau, Australian pumpkin and also broccoli. Had our breakfast at Koufu and rushed back home coz the sky went dark. Reached home..Faster put the brown rice into the slow cooker and get DH to help me with the rest of the ingredients while I showered DS as he getting cranky. After DS showered, decided to let him take his nap while I get some rest too. DS woke up at ard 12plus and have his lunch at 1.00pm. After an hour of watching TV, DH patted him to sleep and to my surprise…DS slept again and so he slept from 2.3pm to 4pm. After DS woke up, we decided to go over to Hougang Mall for a walk plus have our dinner there..so faster gave DS his milk so that we have less barang barang to bring out..
Shopped a while at Hougang Mall before we decided to settle down at a coffeeshop for dinner. After that, decided to walked back again to the shopping mall coz I wanted to buy some new shoes. Couldn’t find anything to my liking and so we proceed to another fashion boutique. But again, nearly fainted down there coz no matter what clothes I tried on..I looked so FAT!! And I really mean it. My hips look so big and I felt so demoralized. Left the shop empty handed too =(
Anyway, its Home Sweet Home after that..Pics for the day.
