Sicko X'mas for Ryan & me

Been 3 days after X'mas.. Both Ryan and I are still not well! Damn..


Ryan started falling sick on the night of 23rd Dec. Throughout the day he was perfectly fine, enjoying himself at the LTH X'mas party. Went i went to fetch him from school, still looking good but temp was at 37.2. Went home put his bags down and off went went to Rigel for X'mas party. Upon reaching there, he almost became like a sick cat! He didnt want to mingle around, keep sticking to me and i felt his temp getting warm so called HC. So not too long, i left and went to the doc.. True enough, fever, cough plus flu all combo package. Sian sian sian..


24th Dec 2010 (X'mas Eve)


Had to work for half a day. He stay home with MIL. Cleared work till 3pm before setting home and glad that HC was able to send me home! :)

Reach home, saw him quite ok... hopefully he is on the road to recovery soon!



25th Dec 2010 (X'mas)


Brought Ryan to the Chinese Doc @ Tampines Took a cab from there. Given medication as usual.. Too heaty.. He wanted to shop around but end up wanting me to carry him.. Piangz... so decided we will catch a cab back to my parents place cos aunt invited us to her place for x'mas dinner. 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..



26th Dec 2010 (Boxing day)


Since Ryan was not with us, we had the intention to wake up abit late but hor.. i think was natural alarm in us.. cant sleep in.. so woke up, clean up and set off for breakfast. HC drove to lower seletar rd for prata. Lots of ppl.. I didnt eat too much cos cough is giving me a hard time!

After breakfast, mil called and asked where we were cos we intend to go temple. She wanted to tag along!! Sian... Everything also must interfere.

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!

X'mas Party with my BFFs @ Tarafuku @ 313 (Somerset)

As usual, i was late.. Heavy jam to Orchard.. and also need to call Amy to ask for directions!

The girls already started the dinner since it was Japanese Buffet. So as usual, lots of yakking and catching up over dinner.. and also time flies fast..

It was certainly a great meet up with lots of never ending talks.. with gift exchangings..

Happy 1st Birthday to Zayden (12.12.10)

Sorry for the late post..

I know I have been disappearing for the longest time... Shall start afresh from here.

First, wishing Little Zayden, Happy 1st Birthday. Was invited to his birthday party @ With a Pinch of Salt located at 297 Tanjong Katong Rd. Met up with Peng and Veron at Paya Lebar MRT and i was late.. thanks to Ryan as he didnt want to wake up from his nap.

We took a bus from the station and alighted at the 4th stops and walk up.. Seems to be a nice and cosy place but soon as the guests came in one by one.. it became overcrowded.. Well.. MT mentioned it's a KIDS PARTY.. hahaha..

I can say Ryan enjoyed himself despite not mingling with the kids there.. He did claimed that the place is noisy too.. but i am glad that he can describe the place and the atmosphere to his daddy when HC came and pick us up.

Unexpected News

I have been neglecting my blog since Sept 17...


By right today shall be my last day with Rigel.. but due to some unforeseen circumstances... I decided to stay on and give up the other offer.


Many of you may ask why... I have to choose between 2 and ultimately the best offer for myself.


To be honest, i am expecting my second baby now... I found out 2 weeks ago and was already in a dilemma then. I wrote an email to my new boss to pre-alert him and he called me the very night and wanted to meet up for a face to face talk. I agreed.


On the other hand, my close colleagues knew about my issue too... they kept persuading me to stay on since situation had changed.. My big boss knew about it and was ok for me to stay on despite i had handed in the letter. So now, i am left with the final decision.


Met up with the other boss last Thursday and have a talk. Though i have pre alert him prior to my interview about family planning. He had no issues too. Being a parent himself. He welcome the idea. I was hopeful. We went straight to the point and yes... He mentioned due to the situation had changed, he; for now cant offer a perm position for me. Instead he will offer me a contract position, renewable every 3 months, no staff benefits. With this... i really had to think hard.. I went back and starting to think of all pros and cons and also discuss with HC too.. He didnt like the idea of me travelling and walking in to a distance.. So he was totally hands up for me to stay put in Rigel. With proper thinking, i decided to stay on and rejected the offer over at the new place.

For now, i can only be thankful to my current boss.

Ready to Move On...

Today i have finally signed on my appointment letter with my new employer.

Will be starting my new job on the 11th Oct 2010. Looking forward to the new experiences that lies ahead for me. Hopefully it can bring me to greater heights...


Many will be curious on why i decided to move on since i am in my comfort and flexible zone. I am perfectly fine with my colleagues and seriously.. i like them alot.. but i am just disappointed with the management. Sad to say.. i have always been a "stale" bread to my current company. Is it wrong to be low profile? I swear i have given my best effort to them but what do i get in the end? Nothing and nothing..

Perhaps i have also been quite inbalance.. Weeks ago, we hired a new staff to my dept.. her designation OF Executive. While i slog out to be OF Assistant. Our education level is comparable. She is a Dip holder while me too.. but why is she starting off as executive????? this i cant understand.. Anyway.. it's all over. 4 words to describe 心灰意冷.

Ryan's first visit to the dentist and library on 07.08.10

Booked an appointed with the dentist on Sat (07.08.10) for myself and Ryan. It's time to expose him to the dentist and i noticed he hasnt been brushing his teeth well.

So weeks before the appt, i have been brain-washing him abt the visit to the dentist.. As usual, Ryan will say ok, can let doc clean and count his teeth.. The day came and i ask who will go see dentist first.. he said he wanted to be first.. Even right up to the time when the missy asked who wants to be first.. He will say: "Ryan first". Send him in.. he chicken out.. Expected!!! So i went ahead first and he sat with me on the dental chair. He kinda witness everything that Dr.Beng did for me.. and when i rinse my mouth, he wanted to do it too.. haa.
Finally i was done with my cleaning.. Managed to coax him up on the dental chair and open his mouth for the dentist to check and count his teeth.. He finally did and asked his he could rinse his mouth. Overall, good experience for him though, no cavities.. will try again next time when HC is due for his check up.. hahahaa..

Next destination, library. I have never brought him to a library before cos i alwasy feel he doesnt know how to behave and may talk very loudly.. Well, since i am there, just brought him in and warned him that he cannot talk loudly inside. Bishan Public Library is good. Their children section is on the basement level. Naturally kids will be kids.. but they obey the rules and not much noise was heard.. Ryan had fun walking around the shelves choosing his books and we sat down to read.. It has been ages since i last step into a library and i borrow a book also.

After library, we had lunch and headed to tampines and then home sweet home..
