My New Year Eve

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 start.

Really enjoyed my day as it has been a looooooong time since I can really shop without feeling hasty and I really mean it. With hubby and Megan around I don’t seem to be able to shop with ease, and usually ended up getting nothing when I reach home. But of course I still enjoy these quality family time together even if its just a simple meal together.

We went Far East Plaza for lunch and shopping. Shu wanted to buy shoes but it was me who ended up getting this pair of shoes and a jumper. Well must pamper myself once in a while…

Megan is so excited and happy “trying” out my shoes and can’t help walking to and fro the mirror keep telling me “mummy, shoe shoe…” and this goes on for I dunno how many times. She just refused to let me try on the shoes or keep the shoes. And hubby was right when he say “I think both of you are so happy with the new shoes!”. Come to think of it, i think sooner or later, we need to upgrade the shoe cabinet. Dont think the existing one can accomodate shoes for 3 ladies, haha…

 
 

Storybooks

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 words to 400 words.

Not sure if it will last thou…

 

megan's first LRT ride

i'm running a little late for my posts. i wasn't home last weekend as hubby was carrying out some "secret" mission for PB thru from Sat morning till sun nite with 3 other male "agents". (he claimed they're male & dun ask me wat he is doing thr at those wee hours w them ok?)

Was at my mum's place cos it's rather difficult to babysit alone at home esp i'm those who always take longer time to bathe and do "business". somemore megan is happier with nicky, darly & val playing wif her.

this time i tried taking train to CCK & took LRT with megan. This is the first time megan is taking the LRT but lil' one doesn't seems at all excited. cos daddy not here? but you were still happy on the MRT wor...



 
ok darling finally we've reached BP. we'll stop over @ BPP first, mummy needs to get something..
 
i was thr cos giordano was having this 40% promo and these are really good buy which i cant missed..i really need to find time to pack up those maternity clothes and "slightly"smaller clothes which i tell myself everyday one fine day i'll be able to fit them in again, god help me! so before i can fit in, these will be my temporary solutions:

oh nicky-ma, lucky us..this one, last 2 pcs at BPP:
 
to reward you for shopping w mummy & being so well-behaved, mummy decided this "supposed-to-be" top will be a very nice dress on you:

megan: phew...finally we are on train to ah ma's hse, finally..


megan: home is always best! see i'm having good time wif nicky kor kor...
 

Time for reading...

Bought some board books from Bras Basah last week. Gabby-ma was telling me there's this shop at Bras Basah selling nice & cheap board books. I've decided to go down to take a look, making full use of the pathetic little time left before my hubby knock off (gosh, now the shopping queen dun really have much time to shop neh, even if there is, i'll end up in the kids dept, haiz.....今日不同往日.) 

anyway these are the books i've bought for megan:

i reckon these board books shld be tough enuff to resist megan's "rough play" since the leapfrog littletouch pages were almost torn by her powerful little hands the last time i read to her! but it's supposed to be drool-proof, tear-resistant & durable wor...dunno lei?

it seems to worK:

and she was particularly interested in this page (小瓜，难道你的世界只有daddy吗?)
 
and yes no more grabbing & tearing for you...and dun look at mummy like that ok?
 
enjoy reading, sweetie! =P

everything has its first time

wat is the next BIG thing other than megan that i "created" for the 1st time in my life?

Yes, its unbelievable. it gotta be CHILLI CRABS!!!
why not? if YAN can cook so can i, hahaha...dun forget i took F&N during my sec sch days hor, dun play play, tsk tsk tsk...

"it's so beautiful", err this sounds so familiar?

let it cook for a while:
 
then stir:

and pose & stir again:

ta ta ta:

and time to tuck into this fingerlicking-good-dish.

no lah, i'm just heating up the crabs (see no gravy liao, all dried up). my FIL is the chef, paisey...

oh btw bought this looney tunes pyjamas set for megan while waiting for hubby to knock off today. megan's long pants are getting tighter esp at the waist. dunno why nanny like to rework on the elastic waist bands of her pants, making her look more "unbreathable".

megan's showtime!



so tired gtg...
