X'mas Celebration @ Rigel

This year X'mas party at Rigel were divided into 3 groups..

Seriously this is my first time encountering such situations.. To be honest, i rather dun celebrate at all.. No sense of unity as a company.

Still, i am enjoyed myself with my gang. In the end, i am up in the 5th level joining my gang. By the time i went downstairs, the food were all wipe out. Everything went clean. *we were feeding a bunch of china ppl*

Laughters, photo takings filled the room. i like it loh.. Enjoyed the food, enjoyed the people...

Level 1 & 3 Group

Ryan and My X'mas gift...

Merry X'mas everyone!!!

Ryan's School X'mas Celebration

Was on half day leave this morning. Woke up early at 6am to prepare fruit salad for Ryan's school potluck.

Had the apples, honeydew, cucumber, kiwi, mini tomatoes cut into cubes and put them into a container and add salad sauce.. then viola!

Send Ryan to school at 9am.. then went home to shower again before heading back to the centre as their mini celebration is starting at 10am.

Reached centre at 10:05am.. the kids are already singing their hearts out with X'mas songs.. They really had fun.. played games and parents are also involved in the musical chairs games..

When it's time for food.. the kids really love it. They Q and went to toilet to wash hands and sit at their table waiting eagerly for the food to be served.

I left the centre at 1215pm.. HC came and pick me up as he wants to go home for a shower before collecting his new car.. Yes, u heard me.. his new baby. So.. today we are bidding goodbye to our 15mths old Mitsubishi Lancer Ex and say Hello to our Honda Stream.

Like i said before.. when a guy wants something, there will be always a point to prove his right to get his wants.. He ultimately got what he wanted.. I hope he wont change it so soon... Our pocket hurts!!

Fion & Nick's Housewarming - 19th Dec 2009

Being invited to Fion's new place. Meet Lynn at Hougang Mrt at around 12noon...

Rainy weather... Sian... So took a train to SK and LRT next to her place.. Ryan refused to walk so had to carry him throughout.

Spend a few hours at Fion's place.. I think ryan had fun with LongQiang's kiddo.. they were playing Wii.. *thinking to invest one also*

Left Fion's place at 415pm.. Went to grab a bite at Mac.. then headed home.. Tired.. Reached home Ryan slept immediately... I am tired too..

2nd Interview Invitation from Crocs...

I should have received the call from Crocs if everything went on smoothly.

I guess i didnt perform too badly cos based on my experiences and qualifications, think the only thing i lose out will be my time.. as we have to serve the notice... and i supposed they cant wait too long.

Crocs -OF will be a newly formed dept with 6 people. Headed by Ms Lena Ang, with 4 OF execs and 1 OF Assistant.

The benefits are rather the same as Rigel.. The difference in annual leave with extra 2 days, confirm and guarantee 13th month pay, employee and company performance bonus. One good thing about dress code.. they can dress down and wear Crocs to work. Each employee will be given 2 pairs of crocs (FOC).. and will get to enjoy the staff purchase at very good price.

If i am not given the opportunity, i am still glad that i was given a 2nd chance for interview.

希望以后会跟 CROCS 有缘再相会。加油！！！

17th Dec 2009, Thursday

Rainy day... Didnt want to wake up from the nice weather.. Still had to go to work but on half day today. Had something important to attend to in the afternoon. Also went to view car... HC always like to take my advantage when i am on half day!!

He has been eyeing for Honda Stream for quite some time.. So went to AML to see see look look.. Found something he like.. So u should know what is he going to do next....

Ryan's "chou chou" lost forever... Thanks to XXX

I think i need to blog this out if not i will suffocate. I am damn pissed off!!!!

Why on earth you need to bring Ryan out every now and then?? U claimed that you didnt cooked much dishes so went out to but some vegs. Is that a need to do so? Simple fare is good enough.. I am not particular about food.

When Ryan came home.. he blurted out: " i find jie jie". I just smiled.. Then you suddenly shouted saying the "chou chou" is lost! I asked why did you bring the pillow out, u again claimed that afraid my son will make noise so brought his pillow along? Is that a need to???

Told her i will go search for the pillow. Asked if u have gone to find your precious princess.. U said NO. So i left the house walking aimlessly in search of Ryan's pillow. His first pillow that my mum bought for him since birth.. He has been carrying since birth not allowing going to sleep without the pillow. Thanks to your CARELESSNESS!!! U made 3 calls to me.. which i only took 1 of it.. U told me the sky is dark and ask me to go home when you will go out and look for it. For what? It's gone means gone.. No matter what you find, will not be the same again. The hygenie purpose is one bad point!

Told my mum about it. Will need her to do another one for Ryan. Though it will never be the same again...

Dear "chou chou" U will be missed dearly by Ryan and us (mummy and daddy)

HB & BP Wedding ~ 6th Dec 2009

The DAY finally arrived... My youngest SIL's much awaited wedding.

The day started early. As early as 5plus, the jie meis group started streaming in one by one. I woke up at 630am... quickly prepare myself then woke my monster. He had a task to do. Important task.. to open the car door for his 姑丈. dig Ryan up at 645am.. wash and clean him and fed him milk. By 7am, we are all up and ready waiting for the groom's arrival.

715am, the honking of the bridal car is here.. So it's work for Ryan.. He was holding 2 super big oranges. I brought him down.. he very cute.. and i help him to open after which he pass the two oranges to his 姑丈. After which i handed him 2 pieces of paper.. instructions to him by the sisters..

After which i brought Ryan up while the gate crashing starts.. I tell you.. i swear.. they are rough. They really keep holding my gate.. the whole game lasted for almost 1/2hr.. the groom finally got in..

Didnt managed to take any nice pics cos busy with Ryan. Just share some nice ones..

2nd Dec 2009

First of all, like to wish my nephew Vash, Happy Birthday. Big boy liao, going to primary 1 next year... please learn to behave well and study hard.

My day started early this morning as hubby need to start work early.. He left the house @530am. His usual routine after shower, put on his clothes then kiss his baby.. He felt warm.. so woke me up. Immediately took his temperature. Thermometer shows 37.8. Goodness.. though is not seriously hot.. but i dun want to take any chance.. So took a handkerchief and sponge him... then i quickly went to prepare myself also. He woke up at abt 7am.. he wanted water.. so gave him his bottle.. He drank quite alot.. By the time i am going to work, his fever subsided.. I decided to keep him home for 1 day. Let him have good rest.. Made frequent calls home to spot check on him.

His class teacher, Tr Ong called too to find out why he was absent from school. Very nice of her right? In fact, i wanted to call and inform the school but was too busy... Anyway, thanks Tr Ong for your concern.

I flew home immediately after work. Mil needs to go attend temple dinner. Went NTUC before going back.. Bought some food for Ryan.. This greedy boy will always run towards the gate when i am home eagerly waiting for my plastic bag. Haha..

Oh, my crocs for Ryan arrived. Haa.. must control spending.. X'mas coming.. Next CNY will be on the way!!

1st Dec.. X'mas is on the way...

Last month of the year is here.. in no time, we will be talking about 2010.

This month, i look forward to my sis in law's wedding on 6th Dec 2009, BFF's gathering on the 8th Dec and Christmas!

Christmas gives me the mood of sharing and love. Christmasy songs being played everywhere you go.. makes u want to spend more.. haha.. So what do i want for Christmas this year? A BIG FAT BONUS.. I hope..

Little Tree House's Graduation cum Year End Concert

The day had finally arrived. Today woke up early and prepared Ryan as he needs to be in school by 0830am. Left the house at 8am and send him to school before coming back home to bring mil along to the Tampines East community club to watch Ryan perform.

While walking to the centre, Ryan gave me a hug, kiss me and say bye bye mummy. This warms my heart. My boy has grown.. from a baby to a toddler who understand simple instructions with basic manners.

I left the centre after seeing him went in with his teachers. Back home, prepared and waited for mil's bedsheet to be washed. Left house @ 915am. Reached TECC @ 945am. Signed in and went inside for a parental talk organised by Morning Star. The talk lasted for an hour or so. I feel that the talk was very encouraging and motivational in giving knowledge of bonding between parents and kids.

Concert officially starts @ 1145am. Managed to took some nice pics. i didnt managed to capture nice pics on Ryan part.. cos i was sitting far behind and it's noy easy to move to the front to take..

They kids had done a very good job. They didnt cry as to compare with the toddlers from Ubi branch. They perform well.. when it was Ryan's class turn to perform.. the cuties came out in bear costume.. I am so proud of him. he has done well.. Well done Ryan, well done babies..

Grand Finale titled "We are the World" Combined with Ubi branch, the kids gather out and sang.

Dilema

Job interview today @ 4pm.

Location not very favouring to me but i feel that i need to move out in order to earn more.. Let see how it goes.. shall blog about it after everything.

Wish me luck!

Weekends (21.11.09 - 22.11.09)

22.11.09 (Sun)

Hubby not working today.. but he woke up super early saying hungry.. So woke all if us up and mil too.. and decided to have prata for breakfast. Reached Jalan Kayu @ 830am.. ordered 3 egg pratas and 3 "kosong" plus 1 chicken murtabark. MIL commented that it's not nice.. hubby said the pratas were quite cold went served. Then drove to Sengkang swimming complex thought can see the pool but quite alot of cars and hubby didnt know that the pool was in house.. hahaha.. so we drove home and continue with our sleep.

Woke up at 1130am to prepare. Meeting my parents for lunch. Drove over to pick them and headed to J8 Din tai Fung. Order the fried rice, dou miao, bitter gourd pork rib soup, xiao long bao and siew mai. spend $97 plus.. Hubby said quite expensive and portion not big.. but food still ok. Shop around for awhile then send parents home.

Headed home but no carpark, so drove out to amk to find weiliang. While hubby chit chatting, i went to do my eyebrows.. haa...

Now is really home sweet home. Ryan practically didnt nap in the noon so he was throwing trantrums during dinner.. He still managed to take his dinner in his way then daddy had to shower him after that. haa.. He started getting cranky.. fussing over nothing, keep crying.. so carry him and pat him to sleep. He fell asleep on my chest... within mins.. haa.

Lastly, Happy 3rd Birthday to Darius.. (son of BFF Veron)

21.11.09 (Sat)

Was not on duty this weekend.. thus able to sleep till slightly later than usual.

Ryan has been complaining about his pain pain since 1 week ago so decided to bring him see 铁打医师 in the morning. Since no appointment made.. had to reach earlier to jump queue. Spend about half an hour inside for ryan's rubbing. This boy is good enough to sit still and roll up his jeans to let the doc massage his leg and there after, bandage up. Paid $25 for it. Expensive anot??

Next destination, went to tampines to see chinese doc to take medication for his cough, flu and heat.. to standby.. these few days the weather are so unpredictable. After which, went to swensen for lunch with Huiling. Then shop awhile before heading back to mum place. Ryan slept thru the bus journey.

Stayed till 8 plus before hubby came and pick us after work..

RYAN

The terrorist in the making.

At 2 years 7 months.. i consider him as a very "jing ling" baby. He knows how to talk to you in simple sentence, excuse me, please, can i, etc... Knows how to count from 1-10 in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and Malay.

Recently he got very naughty.. he will throw temper and cry when he doesnt get the things he wants. He say "ANGRY", " I DON'T WANT YOU" "GO AWAY".

Just wondering where did he learn all these from!!! *scratch head*

Parent Teacher Meeting @ LTH

This morning before i set off to work, i went to Ryan's school for PTM. I took the first slot as i need to work. So reached the school at 845am. Abit kiasu.. hehe

Met up with Ryan's class teachers, Tr Ong and 林老师. The feedback that both teachers gave were that he is an independent, smiley boy.. good with numbers, rythme and music.. he can recite 1-10 using english, chinese, cantonese, hokkien and malay. When he gets to excited, his dance moves will get haywired.. haa...

One bad point about him that Tr Ong commented that there is one particular yellow car which he likes alot. He wont share if he is being asked to.. He will say NO... hmmm... so the teachers had to tell him to share so that other kids can to play... but usually is like tomorrow that the kids can get to play!

Overall, feedback, i am quite happy!

Huat ah!!

On wed, i was on leave to attend Mil's mum 3rd year death anniversary rituals. They called it "GONG TECK".

We left the house at 730am to pick BIL up and headed to SK for breakfast. After which we zoom down to Jalan Kayu, seletar farmway west 6. The rituals started at 815am.. and ended toward 1130pm.. There were intervals in between the sessions.

There was one session where the 'sai gong' had to throw things for us to catch.. There are stuffs like bun, fruits, peanuts, sweets, cigerattes and coins.. We managed to got hold of 70 cents and some sweets to eat "heng heng" and one big apple.. I didnt managed to catch hold of the apple whe it came flying towards me.. IT HIT MY FOREHEAD!!!

So with that apple hitting, i bought numbers.. Share with my bestest friend.. Hopefully, it's tonight.. HUAT AH!!!

Ryan's excursion to East Coast Park

Took childcare leave today. Little Tree House organise an school outing for the kids and parents are invited to join.

We reached the school at 845am. The kids were singing the national anthem. Ryan is mingling well with his classmates.. as for me, i waited outside while the teachers are getting the kids ready.

Weather started out so fine with class play and follow by the older kids performing the mandarin speech & drama. Not too long, the rain came.. with thunderstorm and heavy droplets.. The kids quickly put on their rain coats and usher into the big shelter. The rain continue to pour heavily. So one by one, we carry the kids to the burger king for shelter and let them have their lunch.

Overall, it was an good outing.

See how naughty Ryan is..

Ryan is so excited abt the excursion

He wants to be carried by Tr Ong

He smiled for my camera!!

Class play..
