More fun @ Home

So difficult to coax Joel to put on his ogre band. He loves it!

Peekaboo

Started to have fun in the office, walking around looking like an ogre - a pretty one, muhahaha.

Self Feed

Joel has shown interest in eating by himself. He wants to hold the spoon, drinks from a cup. Wonderful development!

Playground - Joel's favourite spot!

His fave activity at Bintan. He even remembers the location of the playground & drag us there! :)

Bintan Holiday

Went to Bintan for a short getaway from 13 to 15 May. Joel enjoyed the most! Its relaxing place but food is very expensive. Next time we will go Club Med, at least the food is provided for!

My Birthday

We went to Bugis Junction to celebrate my birthday. All the restaturants were packed with Long Q. Then we realised its not a very good idea to have your birthday coincide with Mother's day. We managed to get a table past 9pm! That dish with fire burning is Escargots. See that bottle beside Joel's flask? Its parmesan cheese, we added that into his rice, and he clean the flask up!

In Pink again

Haha I bought Joel another pink top... the crazy mommy....I think boys are ok to wear pink, but of course not too much, a light pink is fine. Comparing him and now wearing pink, my baby has grown up!

Greedy Fella

My little prince loves to sleep & he lugs his bolster everywhere he go. He has 3 bolsters, transition according to his age. And he loves to hug all 3 of them to sleep! His fave one is the medium size one. :)

Sumptuous Dinner

Being working parents, I always try to make my dinner as simple as possible. I try to cook at home, to save money (sick of eating outside food). So its usually simple affair. But I wanted to make the dinner look good last night. So here's what I did.... but of course, to save time, the chicken is from Cold Storage, already baked. :P I did the sides, baked potatoes, satueed mushrooms :D And Joel loves it too.

Loves to Drink

Joel's eyes brighten up whenever he saw us drinking something colorful, and he would do anything for us just so he can drink it... even red wine, he thought it was Ribena.. we had to quickly slurp the wine down so he wont keep pestering us for it.

Focusing......

Daddy's making coffee & the cute little one is staring... and the expression is the same! Muhaha.

Little Beethoven

Joel loves to play with the Piano.. he will even clap after he finish 'playing' it. And he showed talent in it, let's hope he will continue to like it, we will sent him to class to learn :)

Joel Freaking out in FEAR:(

Here's what we did over the weekend & Labor Day holiday. We went out to the mall as usual...and went cycling & swimming, something for a change. But both events, Joel freaked out & cry + scream really hard. How are we going to enter the waters when we go for our short getaway @ Bintan next week? :(

Am I Good with $$$? Sounds like I am!

You Are Great With Money

You know the value of a dollar - and you save and spend wisely. By living below your means, you've set yourself up for a rich future. And while it may hurt to sacrifice now, you'll probably have plenty of money later on. You're on your way to riches - just keep it up.

Are You Good With Money?

"Romantic" Dinner

Joel was bored to tears, been very cranky.. had to drive him out for a nice dinner. He doesn't want to eat these days, prefer to keep his food in his mouth. Except for desserts of course... so here's what he had for dessert, no need to coax him to swallow. He asked for more & would even kiss you just to get his fave ice cream. ;)

Loves to shower

A very happy boy whenever he showers ... only the mummy super tired..

观后感 ~~

It's amazing for this petite gal to perform so much stunts on stage. Jolin dance literally non stop.. save for a few slow numbers in between, she was prancing, dancing on the stage, and singing at the same time. Some of the songs has super long and confusing lyrics such as '马德里不思议'. And she is so very flexible.

I took my hats off her, she's only 27, yet she has improved so much over the years. And being an Asian star, she can dance like Beyonce. She finish off the whole concert still looking great ~~ not panting at all. I think she really make an effort to remember the dance steps. And her costumes all looked great, I am amazed that she can fit into such a small bottom. She must have took care of her figure well. She must have worked out really well cos I can see she has biceps. 超赞! 真不是盖的! 没两把刷子还真不行呢。。

The only flaw? Yes there is, I guess they can have better special guest appearance. Its disappointing to see "Energy" performance..... This boy group is sooooo OVER.

My little tips for concert

It was a great night on 7 Apr. Concerts starts at 8:30pm, and was totally entertaining till 10:30pm. I haven't been to a concert in ages, and here's some tips which I will definitely applied to for my next concert.

#1 Wear your 3" high heels or put a 5" cushion on your seats - The seats are not the reclining kind. So if you have 2 big size uncles sitting infront of you, then you cant have a good view, regardless sitting or standing when everyones gets high... See this 2 huge fella whose seats were right infront of me!

#2 Bring your bino - even if you are at the 15th row (sounds near?), but it will still be better to bring a bino for closer view... because Jolin is just about 10cm from my distance;)

#3 Bring your digital cam - not those cam on the HP (even if its a SE K800i). The strong lights etc does not give you good picture quality, so you must have a good camera. Unless like me, who's totally reliant on my K800, I give up taking her real person, I chose to shoot her from the projector instead :P

Lastly, reach the Indoor Stadium early esp if you are driving or not familiar with the surroundings. You will be assured of a good parking spot & be able to get out of the stadium early without getting into the long Q to get out of the car park. I reach the stadium at 6:45pm, great timing!

Something to Look Forward to...

Its finally happening on this Saturday 八点! 室内体育馆正式引爆! I'm going to watch Jolin 蔡依林 in action. Most people who knows that I will be going to her concert sort of had that drop jaw look.... like as if I'm so shallow to spent $170 to watch her perform. But what's wrong, she has improved tremendously over the years. I just wanna say : 我不是肤浅的!

The Crying Baby :'(

This little boy has learned a new weapon this weekend - CRY. He cries at the slightest thing. Even when I told him "angry", just one word, he will cry buckets over it. And also, if I took away his beloved pacifier...

This must be a growing phase, or he's trying to make full use of his daddy while he's in.....

Its almost 11pm now, and he's still crying, wanting his dad to be with him... the worst thing is, even after we have spent lots of time coaxing him, he will cry again.... Damn!

To put us to shame, his LOUD crying was heard by Aunty Ivy's family! So there were 5 adults altogether, 2 at home, 3 at the next block, all crying their best to soothe little Joel. Its amazing, you can hear them calling his name, told him not to cry, waving at him.

And of course, our little boss has proved to us that's he's the BIGGEST of us all despite his size. After all the attention he has gotten, he's finally asleep.
