Melody celebrated her full month last Sat where we only invite the families and a few close friends to our house for a mini buffet. Towards the end of the celebration, we decided to bring her down to KKH as her nose was seriously blocked. Megan has got flu and cough from her classmate and passed it on to Melody, who is too young to know how to breathe thru her mouth. Her condition did not improve

My company closed for half day during the New Year Eve and I chio Shu and Judy out for lunch and shopping since Megan is taken care by her nanny due to the school closure. Funny thing is that the 3 CCK “taitai” were all married to very busy men who need to work till 3pm if not 4.30pm on the New Year Eve. Well I must say some co just couldn’t let their staff take a short break before the new year

On MC today again as I have almost finished my medicine but is still coughing and having runny nose. I arrived at the clinic at 11.15am and waited until 12.50pm before seeing the doc. And even waiting to collect my medicine is driving me crazy. I waited at least 20 mins before they call my name. And I was shocked.. I didnt know I need so much medicine!!!

The Loks were invited to Natalie’s full month celebration today. Our usual routine before going out. I’ll bathe Megan, change her, comb and clip her hair while my hubby has his shower. Then he’ll take over while I bathe and start snapping megan’s pictures…    We reached Angie’s house late but just in time for the cake cutting ceremony. Jessica got a very nice jelly ‘cake’ which you can’t

Was on leave yesterday as Megan’s nanny has something to attend to. So we decided to make it a family day. My hubby renewed his singnet contract and got a netbook free. We went to the Acer warehouse at IBP for collection and the weather was killing the three of us. Tata, here’s the netbook…cool huh, I even bought a red mouse to match it!     The actual offer was for 1G ram so he decided to

Congrats to Shu Lynn and Marcel who have finally tie the knot last Sat, 23 May 2009. Here’s wishing the couple a blissful marriage and hope to hear good news soon! We left home early for the Kinderland Open house which started at 9am. Wanna take a look of the school and also talk to the teachers there. Megan seems to have forgotten about the two of us as she is so mesmerised by the toys and art

12th May marks our 13th Anniversary together. 13 years ago on this same day, a polytechnic boy finally plucked up his courage and asked a polytechnic girl if he can hold her hand by the Marina Promenade. We were so shy then, unlike now, haha… but I must say 谈恋爱的感觉真的好好喔! and I nearly fall in love again today. After my lunch when I return to the office, I saw this lovely box of chocolate on my

Had wanna bring megan for her first “swim” last weekend but too bad it was raining on both Sat and Sun :( Looks like we got to postpone it. Let’s pray that the OT on 18 Apr will not materialise.  In the end, we were wearing swim wear but eating chicken rice at the coffeeshop instead of swimming at the pool. 真扫兴…

You Are Rosemary You are stable and grounded. You may take a slow, steady approach to live, but you're a survivor. You are an intellectual and very rational. You can see things from a logical, detached viewpoint. You are successful but not particularly ambitious. You have a way of letting success come to you. You tend to

Last Sun afternoon, seeing megan is bored playing with her toys, my hubby picked up one of the toys from amongst the many toys pressies megan received. I was having lunch and heard him saying “这个盒子旧旧的”… we thought it was just the box so I asked him to open up and see. To our astonishment , 2 sections of the toy was found missing. One being the top detachable section and  another is a hammer that

I would like to thank all the guests who had attended megan’s bday party last Sat, esp many of my guests came all the way down from the far east to share our joy. The Loks would like to thank all for your lovely pressies/ang baos and well-wishes. Your presence had definitely make this event a more joyous one. For those who were unable to attend, we have not forgotten about you. Picts taken at

I went Lot 1 the other day and saw a few board books which I had wanna buy for Megan’s bedtime stories. Was in a rush after work and thought I will come back another day. Then last Sat we went Causewaypoint Popular and bought these instead. It was priced at $4.50 each and I got them at some discount ($3.99 each for 2 or more). These easy-to-read classic stories come in 3 levels ranging from 150

She’s finally married to WQ and now officially Mdm Lim (haha..she sure kill me). Time flies, having see her thru singlehood, courtship and now married.  We arrived earlier than the

It's definitely not Christmas day but so what. The party is still on!! Rach has invited us to her home for the Christmas celebration. And since the party only starts at 6pm, we have lots of time for the day. Initially we had planned to go shopping for a dslr camera, which my hubby has been longing for even since before he bought the Lumix. But he can't wait any longer and finally got his first

We have finally finished shopping and got the last pressie for xmas. I had a few suggestions for Megan's first xmas pressie and this is the responses I got: Suggestion 1: Activity Walker for Megan to toddle behind => Gabby's mum/Rach/hubby: won't last long, harzardous since there are wheels and she might slip. Suggestion 2: PlayPen => Gabby mum: won't last long, not very stable

Last weekend, we brought Megan's for her haircut at Lot 1. This is her 4th haircut, and one which I like most! Lil one was reluctant at the beginning but kind of settled down after some pacifying..   How's my new 娃娃头?  See, even Uncle George can't resist the temptation of carrying me!  Auntie Sandy (Megan's nanny) I know you have told mummy and daddy my hair is still too thick and

My Chinese language was put to test. Here is how it goes. You need to add a stroke (and only one stroke) to the Chinese character, 日 (ri) to form nine other different Chinese characters.  I managed to complete eight of them but still can't figure out the last one since dinner. Any 军师? Here's the eight characters so far: 白 田 目 甲 由 申 旦 旧   ? 我要寻求救援! Anyone???
