MJR Homecoming cum Farewell 2008 -15th Nov 2008

Last Sat was pretty a hectic week for me. As per above subject, my former secondary school will be relocationg to it's new site, Ubi Ave 1 from 2009 onwards. So the school alumni association hosted the homecoming cum farewell on the old campus which was located in Sim drive. As i am part of the alumni, i had to help to co-organise.

The committee members reached as early as 12noon to make sure that all things were set up without any hiccups. I was late as i had to send Ryan to mum's place then accompany HC to see a bone setter.. That fella sprain his leg ankle on Friday.. After which he drove me to the school. I reached at 1pm.. most things were nicely set up... so at 2pm ex manjusrians streamed in one by one.. some came in groups, some with spouses and kids... We have seen so many batches graduated and even the ex and current teachers joined in. The response were over-whelming... The principals were glad.. so were we! Finally the event started... It was a simple yet meaningful event. The whole event closed up with 2 buses catering ex-students to the new campus for a tour. Most of the committee members stayed back to tied up loose ends... and of course took some final pics of the school.

Manjusri, being the only buddhist secondary school in Singapore. What can i say about it. I had spent a good 5 years there. I made lifelong friends there.. She had seen me grown over the years and without the guidances and encouragements from the teachers, i wont be what i am now. Though i may not hold successful careers like others, i have learnt to be responsible and live with intergrity. Thank You Manjusri, i will miss you at the old campus. With metta... Peace!

A Hectic Week

For these past two weeks had been quite a hectic one for me at work..Work is never ending... Anyway, looking forward to saturdays and sundays...

Brought Ryan to Paediatric Cline just now for his last dose of the Prevenar. He now weigh 9.6kg. Seem a bit light but i guess that's contribute to his sickness for the last month... Never mind, i believe he will get well soon and become a strong boy!

Sick....

My turn to fall sick... on mc today... actuallywas feeling bad yesterday but pull myself up to work as i had to attend a meeting. After work went back to hougang mall to see a doc.. OMG!! it's damn expensive loh! $50.50.. just that few minutes of consultation.. Isnt it daylight robbery??

The breakdown as follows:

Goodbye Mazda, Hello Mitsubishi Lancer Ex

The above subject has been lingering in HC's mind for the longest time... He has been always into his expensive hobby mode. Just that the stingy me always control him..

I always have this in mind... Whenever he wants to change something, all kinds of excuses will come out... I wonder if this apply to all other guys????

Anyway, just last monday, he was viewing the car mart website... and has been eyeing for Honda Accord.. his dream car.. but far too expensive... so next in mind, the lancer ex... so told me that he will go and view ONLY!!! but next came his call saying that he wants to sell his mazda and buy that lancer ex... OMG! fast decision right??? His reason: that he managed to press down the price by another $2k... and most of the registration charges were waived etc... So decisions were made fast and settled.

Collected his 2nd hand one year old bb the very next day... He is forever so excited...

So Goodbye Mazda 3, Hello Mitsubishi Lancer Ex....



HC's grandma passed away -31st Aug 08

Been it long while since i last post. Was really damn busy.
On grandma's passing, received a call from hubby that fateful morning. Was actually on the way to eat prawn noodles at Joo Chiat. Suddenly hubby called that grandma might not make it... Do quickly had a quick bite and rush dad and mum to go home as sil was taking a taxi to come and pick me up to the hospital. So put Ryn to parents's care and left.

On my arrival, went into the ward and most of the relatives were there... most of the grandchildren were surrounding grandma's bed.... Managed to catch a sight of her before her heart beat stopped.

All of us were sad... extremely sad... Well, one thing for sure was that she had left for a better place. The wake was held for 7 days... and luckily it was during the Sept school holidays... The day came when she had to be cremated.. lots of wailings.. and one of HC's aunt couldnt take it and fainted. She need to be held away...

Grandma, rest in peace... u will be missed.

Ryan, My Pride & My Joy...

See my header...

Think i should do some updates about my little hero.

This coming 30th August, he will turn 17 months. Times flies... from a baby to a toddler...

He has yet to start his official walking by himself. Only know how towalk with our support.
Started calling Daddy first at 15 months...followed by Mummy recently.. His ever readness of "mum mum" "nei nei". Recently took the liking of seeing and saying "bus". Likes to climb the window grilles and see the walking driving pass...

He can understand what me and hubby says to him. Just that he can yet to speak out. He knows when to pass clothes to his daddy when his daddy change for work.
Claps his hands when we sing songs to him. Pointing out his index finger meaning good.. Know how to shake his head and hands meaning dancing when he hears songs that suits his ears... haa...

Knows how to shake his head when he doesnt want anything... and know how to play independently by himself in the playpen.

So what can i say now... both hubby and i do enjoy his growing stages...

A few hours after birth
His first shave
My Little Hero,My Pride & Joy!
