A fun filled Sat – 15/11/08
Anthea called me up ard noon and asked me if we wanted to go to Vivo city with 2nd sis and family but since we couldn’t drive our car yet, Sis offered to come over to pick us up. As we all have not had our lunch, we decided to eat at MacDonald and DS was also happily eating the fries with us. Proceed to do more shopping (plus phototaking session) and also at the same time, let the kiddos have their fun at the outdoor playground. After all the playing, DS was already very tired but he still refused to sleep and still continued his fun at the arcade.
As it already near dinner time, we decided to go to Redhill market for our dinner but DS fell asleep on our way there and so when we reached there, he was super grouchy but still managed to finish half a bowl of porridge. After our sumptuous dinner, BIL drove us back and once back home, DS became energetic again and slept only at around 11pm plus.

Birthday Celebration
DS turns two on 14/11/08. Actually, my original plan is to bring DS to sit on the Ducktour but due to previous bad experience at the sea, I decided to bring DS for makan and shopping. So off we went to Suntec in the afternnon but DS was again sleeping inside his pram. We went to the food exhibition to take a look and ended up buying some stuff back. Also, went to the book exhibition to buy DS a few writing and colouring books, as he will be starting school soon.
After that, we proceed to P.S and have Thai Express for dinner. Dinner was good and so was their service. The staff kept playing with DS and after knowing it was his birthday that day, they even sang him a birthday song (So sweet). After dinner, we proceed to Centerpoint as we wanted to buy him a “Thomas & Friend” train set. Just happened that Robinson was having 20% storewide so it was a good buy and DS got to choose something that he liked. Finally, its home sweet home around 9pm…

Double Birthday Celebration – 09/11/08
Event 1 – Birthday Celebration @ TPY
Since DS woke up at around 8am plus and we decided to go to TPY home earlier to wait for our buffet spread of Nasi Lemak and Popiah. We wanted to collect our Swensen’s ice cream cake on our way but since it was drizzling so we decided to bring DS up home first to play with his cousin. After DS warmed up with them, DH and I sneaked out to collect the cake at Entertainment Center and during the short period, I still managed to buy two T-shirt for DS.
After collecting of cake, we went back home and everybody was already there and waiting for the food. Luckily, the food came shortly and we started our delicious lunch (Food was good and so was the family gathering). Since we were going to visit my cousin place later in the afternoon, my sis and I decided to do the cake cutting session right after lunch. The two little birthday boys (their birthday is only 3 days apart) were so excited upon seeing their cake and can see they enjoyed themselves very much. Since everybody was still very full from the lunch, they cut only DS ice cream cake first and eat as a desert.
We decided to proceed to my cousin hse @ Simei to see baby Arthur (less than 3mths old), and he is such a darling (reminds me of DS when he was a baby). We left their hse after spending one hour there and it was back to TPY to pick up our stuff and to go to AMK for round 2.
Event 2 – Birthday Celebration @ AMK
DS was simply exhausted that the moment we drive off from TPY to AMK, he slept immediately in the car. So DH went to collect the cake himself while we waited in the car. Reached PIL place and he was still sleeping soundly. After 2hours plus of nap, DS woke up and was playing with his uncles, aunties, cousin etc and after dinner, it was another round of cake cutting session. However, this time no candles were lighted as FIL said that cannot blow candles twice. So everyone just sang DS birthday songs and eat the cakes. Glad that everybody finds the cake nice. It was indeed a tiring and long day for our family.
P.S. Thanks for all the presents, ang pows and the well wishes..

Tree Planting & Nov birthday Bash – 02/11/08
Since DS have recovered from his seasick motion, decided to bring him along to our Company tree planting event at Sengkang Riverside Park. However, when it was time to leave the hse, DS was still sleeping very soundly so I told DH that I would just attend the event myself. After finishing planting my tree, DH called and said that he have arrived with DS. So quickly walked to the main road to join them and also roamed around the mini carnival there. Shortly after, we went back to my company tent for photo taking session and also to collect our lunch. As it was scorching hot that day, we decided to go back home and enjoyed our lunch instead.
After lunch, we all decided to have our afternoon nap since we will be attending the Nov birthday bash at one of the forum mummies place later in the evening . At first, I was quite worried as it was raining very heavily but luckily the rain stopped just as we were about to leave the hse. DH drove me to buy the famous Jalan Kayu otah and after buying, we quickly rushed over to the party venue but we lost our way and luckily, Zhen DH managed to direct us to the correct street and we finally found the correct way *Ended up, actually DH close friend also stayed at the condo*
When we reached there, most of the families were already there and I so happy to see the mummies and kiddos ago again. There were two new families whom I just known and met at the gathering but didn’t get to chat with them as I was busy feeding DS his dinner. For DS, he was busy playing with the toys and also watching TV. Soon, it was cake cutting session and we let DS wore the party hat. He simply loved the hat and also the cake singing session. Last but not least, we did the gift exchange and DS got himself books and also jigsaw puzzle. We left around 9pm and our family really ourselves at the birthday bash. *Thanks Zhen & DH for organizing and the hard work*

Batam Trip – 27/10/08
Brought DS to his first overseas trip and we went over to Batam with DH & family. So a total of 20plus people went to the day trip. I woke up at 5plus in the morning to start preparing DS barang barang (boiled hot water, bring cold water etc) and after I have finish, woke DH and DS. We tried to give DS his first milk feed but maybe because it was too early so ended up DS vomited everything and we have to rush to bath DS and also do the cleaning up. Reached PIL place at 7am and everybody was waiting for us.. so without further delay, we set off to HabourFront to board the ferry at 8am.
Aboard the ferry, DS was quite happy at first but maybe he woke up too early, he started to doze off half way through the 45mins journey. Finally reached Batam and DS was so cute..he saw those custom officer in uniform and he even salute to them. So after we got through the custom clearance, we boarded a bus to start our sight seeing tour.
First, we went over to a bridge that was supposing to be a landmark in Batam. Our tour guide allowed us to go down to take pics but the moment we got down the bus, we were swarmed by sellers trying to sell their wares. Ended up, we just brought a rattle toy for DS as he was fascinated by it. Just as we were happily taking pics, DS started to vomit and he dirtied his clothes. Brought him up the bus to rest but sad to sad, throughout the trip, he was still vomiting very badly (so didn’t have mood to take pics). Moreover, DH was having seasick too so couldn’t help much to take care of DS. So throughout the trip, me & DS were confined in the bus as others was happily eating, shopping etc.
Things got better in the evening, when we went to our last stop at a shopping mall. DS looked slightly better and was playing again. As I didn’t want to go home empty ended, decided to buy DS a pair of jeans and also a polo tee for myself. Remaining money was spent on Doughnuts, food and tips for the tour guide and bus driver. Soon, it was time for us to board the ferry back to home. The journey back was much worse and the sea was rough thus the ride was very bumpy. *Poor DS vomited again*
Overall, we didn’t enjoyed ourself at all (as the whole family ended up sick) and doctor said that DS have suffered from seasick thus kept vomiting. Think our next family trip will have to travel by air..*Hopefully soon*

Collection of passport.
Hmmm..have got this entry on my computer for such a long time but yet I forgotten to post it up..In the end, still decided to post it up just for memory purposes (for future use)..So more back-dated entries to come..hahaha.
Finally we got DS his passport and we collected it on Sat (18/10/08) at the ICA Building. Made an appointment at 11.30am but still we have to wait for about half an hour before we can collect it. After that, we went for lunch at the market before we walked over to Kandahar Street to buy 2 rolls of delicious Kaya cake. As it was closed to DS nap time, we decided to shop around Bugis Junction so that it will be cooler for DS to sleep in his pram. However, DS was so distracted by the surrounding that he just didn’t want to sleep at first but while DH was buying clothes for himself, DS finally slumbered into his dreamland. So we continue our shopping at BHG as they will have 20% storewide sales. Brought a longer bolster , bolster case x 3 and 2 tumbler for DS.
After a while, DS woke up from his nap and since it was drizzling outside, we decided to have a quick bite at The Soup Spoon but DS doesn’t like the Mushroom Soup that I have ordered, instead he preferred my wrap instead. Waited for the rain to stop and we walked all the way from Bugis to Plaza Singapura. Wanted to buy something from JL as they will have 20% sales for card members too but me and DH forgotten to bring out our cards so no choice, we just roam ard PS. As the weather was cold, decided to eat Korean Ramen at the foodcourt nearby PS. After my hearty dinner, its home sweet home again.
