Valentine's Day cum Birthday Present from Hubby

Happy Valentine's Day everyone..


A day where all restaurants and florist shop will earn big bucks. To me, so long, each couple treat one another loving with mutual trust, everyday will be valentines day!


Hubby got me a nokia touch screen C6-01 for my valentine's & birthday present. Killing 2 birds with one stone.. Clever of him right? I kinda of go abit of heart pain on the amount spent cos we could get it cheaper by signing the contract of my phone. He got this phone without contract; thus he paid more in the end..


Anyway, thanks hubby for the thought. I am still learning how to use it and literally, it became my son's new hp. Ryan said that it belong to him and is daddy who buy for him not me.. His birthday gift... hahaha..


Should i just sign and get another one for him?

CNY UPDATES...

03.02.11 ~ 大年初一

Started our 'early' day with supper with HC and his friend for roti prata! Was feeling hungry as we had early dinner. So asked HC if he is hungry too. So after the CNY variety show, we drove off for our yummy prata.. Ryan went along with us too.. First time that he stayed up so late... by the time we reached home.. it's almost 230am... shower and changed him and he feel asleep.. Both HC and i spend some couple time watching tv show before sleeping.

Woke up at 9am to prepare and freshen up. 10am, our 1st vistor came. HC's youngest uncle and family. they sat for 15 mins before moving off.. For us @ 1130am, we set off to Hc's eldest aunt place @ Bedok Res before moving to his 5th uncle place @ Pasir Ris. There after, mil chasing us to go home cos she was feeling bored.. (she didnt like to stay there cos no one bother to talk to her).

SO we send her home and let Ryan take his afternoon nap before we proceed to my grandma place then my mum place for dinner. Each year, mum will invite my aunts and grandma to my place for dinner; this year with no exception. After dinner, i changed Ryan into another clothes before moving off to meet HC's sis to go visiting to his other relatives. Went to a few of HC's relatives and by the time we got home, it's about 10pm. Rest time!

04.02.11 ~ 大年初二

Rise and shine for prayers then relatives coming for visting. By 12plus we all got ready to go. As usually, 2nd day of CNY is a gathering day on my dad's side. Each year my uncle and aunts will do rotation on their CNY open house for us. Pot luck sessions as they are pretty good cook.. :)
Glad that HC can blend in well with them and my cousins too.. hahaha.. Stayed for almost 2.5hrs before going home cos we had a cruise ship to catch!

Yup.. This CNY, we had booked to go for a short getaway. We reached Harbourfront at around 5pm. Queued for the exchange of tickets before we can board on the cruise ship. After we settled the necessary stuff, we went on to board the ship... Bye Singapore for now..

Our 1st holiday as a family. Up on board, we checked into our room, 5553 and changed into our comfortable wear before we proceed to our buffet dinner. Ryan was very excited... He ate and enjoyed the scenery. Then we walked around the ship and took some pics... By the time almost about 10plus, we went back to our room as Ryan felt sleepy. Gave him a small milk and there he eventually knocked off. Then HC went for his fun!!! Yup, the casino.. Won $2k and beaming with joy when he came back and woke pester me for supper. Ryan was asleep so he went up to see if the good is good anot. He came down saying got burger, century egg porridge etc.. ok lah, woke Ryan up and had to carry him and we went for supper. HC certainly had his fill. Then we went back to our room before HC went for his 2nd round to try his luck again. By the time 5am plus, he was still not back yet.. began to worry and left Ryan sleeping and went to casino to look for him. He was just making his way out and beaming again.. hahaha.. ok, some winnings.. and he nap awhile before we go and enjoy our sun rise view!

05.02.11 ~ 大年初三

Day started as early as 7am. Wash up and went to view the early sun rise.. very beautiful and cold. Took some pics and proceed to go for breakfast. Ryan had cornflaks and fruit punch while HC and i had each of everything... Lots of people and they are pretty "yao kwee"hahah.. scare like never eat. Then we went back to our room and rest. HC and Ryan both fell asleep while it's my turn to go and try luck. Won small cos i pretty stingy on this.. haha but after that return all to them. Haiz.. no luck!

Woke the both of them up for lunch and brought Ryan to the indoor playground. They had this childcare centre where the kids are left inside with lots of activities for them to play. Amazingly, Ryan wanted to stay there so we paid for an hour fee and left him there to play as parents are not allowed inside. So we went for casino again. This time round, i just roam around and watch people play. An hour later, we went to pick Ryan and headed for ice cream and fries before going back to our room for some rest then dinner at the chinese restaurant. The food sucks a big time... then we headed back to level 12 for buffet to fill up our stomach.

06.02.11 ~ 大年初四

Rise and shine again for sun rise view... Our last day @ cruise. Nothing much to do. Just went for breakfast, let Ryan walk around before heading back to our room to pack up and check out. Went to the reception to settle our bills and collected our passport and waited for the ship to dock.. By the time we reached Singapore, it's already 11plus coming to 12noon. Had to queue to go thru customs etc and when we were finally out, we took a cab home and father and son had their shower and nap immediately while i had to settle the laundry before i nap.

Well... that's all about my CNY...

CNY Eve ~ 02.02.11

The lunar year is finally ending soon. This morning both hubby and I woke up early and prepare Ryan and send him to school. He was so proud and telling his teachers that his daddy & mummy sent him to school. hahaha

After we dropped him, we drove to HC's workplace as he needs to shift the big lorry truck to Defu. Waited for quite awhile before his things got settle and we headed straight to Toa Payoh and make the payment for stamp fee of our new flat. Another cheque issued: $8850.. Broke again! After settle our HDB things, went for a bite @ BK as i havent taken my breakfast.. Then went to drop cheque and proceed to kiddy palace to get some stuff.

HC also asked to called my mum as we are around in Toa Payoh, we can go and pick her up from school and drive her home. Lucky we went to pick her. After her work, she went market and bought oranges. After fetching her, we drove straight to Ryan's school and pick him before sending mum home.

Back home, did some chores and some calculations on the $$ that i have given to MIL for her spending!!! Piangz... anyway... shall not elaborate further.

Hope this new year can bring us a smooth and prosperous year for me and my family!

Ryan's 1st visit to Chinatown with LTH

Today is Ryan's 1st excursion to Chinatown with his school.


Took a day off and went along with him as i know, if i don't go, i will never into the area cos it's simply too crowded plus HC will never go with me.


Left house at 840am.. and strolled to his school. I joined him in his class before they set off to the porch to gather. The bus came and Teacher Cindy gace a speech before we set off.

We reached Chinatown at around 945am.. the tour started and we walked around the chinatown. It's quite rowdy with so many kids around.. as there were many other schools that brought their children to tour Chinatown. Walking around, we came across a very long queue with people queuing for bak kwa! The kids were fasincated with things they saw..


Too bad, i didnt get to take alot of pictures.. This time round not very convenient plus holding Ryan around cos it's simply too crowded!!!

It's a mei mei this time!!!

On pre-arranged MC today as i had gynae appt in the morning followed by 1st HDB appt.

Send Ryan off to school after that went for breakfast then went back home. HC got home too and he managed to squeeze time off from his work to accompany me to the gynae appt. We were 5 mins late but had waited at least 1hr cos missy said there was a long winded case earlier and all timing were pushed downwards.

Finally our turn..Things looked good on bb and once again, doc confirmed the bb's sex, HC was grinning from ear to ear. Yes, it's a girl this time which he always hoped for. Wish came true for him.

Made payment for the package and medications and headed straight to Toa Payoh HDB.

Our appt @ HDB was scheduled at 130pm. Met up with the agents and all the other party. Took a queue number and proceeded for the appt and procedures. At the end of the appt, we spend $578.00 for the stamp and caveat fee of the house. Broke Broke Broke.. Now waiting for 2nd appt to come.

At aunt's place, after dinner, we wanted to make a move first cos HC was tired after a long day @ work... Ryan didnt want to follow us back.. keep crying saying wanted to stay @ popo house.. So HC relented and allow him to stay.. He was sooo happy! While both of us headed home..

Ryan's X'mas Party @ LTH ~ 23.12.10

On leave today and started my day early. Woke Ryan up @ 8am and let him take his milk.


850am sent him to school while i set off to Tampines to buy his party food. His class theme is on Indonesian cusine, thus i choose to buy kueh dar dar and onder onder.


Reached Tampines at around 930am.. so when for breakfast then make my way to Tampines One to 'stroll" while waiting for the shops to open. kedai Kue Kue opens at 830am but officially sells at 10am. SO when my watch reaches 10am, i headed straight to the stall and purchase the the freshly made kueh.. and went on to emicakes and bought a log cake for Ryan's school.


After getting all the needful stuff, i took a cab and headed back to the centre to celebrate x'mas along with the school and kids!


Celebrations in school with games and songs.. gifts exchange.. Then the kids exploring the food from different countries.. Kids started taking the food that they want to eat. Ryan likes the nine layer kueh. He had prata, mini hot dogs, bee hoon, brani crackers. After lunch, i told him to nap in school while i go home for housework. He said ok.


Went to pick him up at 530pm.. he was munching his evening tea break. His teacher said he can really eat.. omg!

Back home, he looks abit unwell.. i thought he probrably had too much so continue to shower and change him for next round, Office X'mas Party. Took cab to office and who knows, he got crouchy and clingy.. and abit feverish... Sian.. he didnt even want to join the other children who are playing happily outside. He only want to sit on my desk and watch his barney or chugginton show.. Then i called hubby and ask if he knocking off and can fetch him to the doc.. So went to the doc near mum's place. What a sick X'mas!
