Kae Spending

I just realised that we have been spending money all on Kae recently. The wall decal, the hairclipS, the 2 pairs of pediped shoes, 3 bottoms and 2 tops from Fox, 2 dresses from Bloom, a children floormat, 1 pooh and 1 piglet box each. All these items within 10 days. To me, it seems a lot, as I don't even buy more than 2 pieces of clothings within a month, or 1 pair of shoes within 2 months. It's hard to save when you have babies, more so baby girls. Heehee. And we are going to spend an amount for Kae's 1st year birthday; happening on 10th Jan 2009, at Coffee Club Siglap!

We really need to strike Toto and Lottery soon...

I Heart Kae's Hairclips and Pedipeds!

I have been buying hairclips for Kae. And most recently, 2 pairs of Pediped shoes for Kae; 1 to wear now and 1 for Chinese New Year. Haha. Yes, have been spending a bomb on my baby girl. But she's so sweet in her hairclips! Can you really blame me for wanting to dress my princess up? Bleah!

Room in Progress

We wanted to give Kaelyn a brand new room as her Xmas present. But as I had been sick (and am still sick) since Tuesday night, we didn't have time to go shopping for her mattress bed and playmat. We did manage to put up the wall decal today though.

And I think that it looks pretty nice! And Kae lurves it! Heehee. She lurves to touch touch the pictures. First phase complete. Next is to find a nice floor mat, dismantle the existing bed in the room, and find her a mattress bed.

Girls' Day Out

It had been a long time since we went to sing karaoke together. And we finally did, to celebrate Keddy's belated and Audrey's impending birthdays. And I realise that my stamina has really suffered due to lack of exercise now that I only have time for Kaelyn. Sigh. When should I start my 10km running regime again? Hmmm.

Happy Birthdays Girls!

13 years in the making

I attended a wedding dinner of a primary school classmate last night.

The wedding couple actually dated for 13 years! Yes, they've dated since they were 16 years old. I am sure they've had their share of downs, since it was mentioned in their mandatory speeches. But the point is, they've stayed together through all the turbulance (yes, the groom is a pilot :P) and are making a commitment to each other to remain together for the rest of their lives. That's something. And it is heartwarming to know that such first loves still do exist. Congrats again KJ!

Beachy beach

We went for a 1 night stay at Rasa Sentosa 18-19 Dec 08. We chose this hotel as it is the one nearest to Siloso Beach; we wanted to let Kae play on the beach.



The hotel was very old. We didn't get the newly renovated Executive Panaromic room as the staff advised that the room will not be big enough for the baby cot. At last, their baby cot is actually a playpen! I doubt that the playpen cannot be place in the Panaromic room. I think they were just bluffing. Hmmm. Also the room was so ancient that the controls for the air-conditioning and the lights were all at 1 side of the bed! The room didn't even have a comb, and no newspaper was given to us in the morning, until we called and asked for them. I am really wondering if the hotel is cutting costs, or if their service is really that bad! I will not go back to Rasa Sentosa ever. The only pro about this hotel is their fantastic seaview from the room; and that is why the rooms cost so much even though the hotel is one of the oldest on the mini island.



But we had fun at the beach! We found out that Kae doesn't like the sand by itself. She actually cried a bit after she explored touching the sand with her hands. But she loved to stand in the water with sand at her feet! She struggled when we took her out of the water. Haha.



Oh well, more beachy attempts to come!

oh Miki you're so fine

Kae and me met up with Mikaela twice this week.

The 1st was on wednesday when Cherine brought Miki to our place for their 1st playdate. The 2 babies had fun! Miki was walking all around the house, and feeding Kae biscuits the whole time! Heehee, how sweet of her:)




The 2nd was on friday when we met up with Clarice and Eli, Debbie, Cherine, Miki and Justin for dinner at Pasta Fresca Siglap. Dinner was good as was the company. The 2 babies delighted us the whole night. Pity Miki and family had to leave as she was drifting off to dreamland. The rest of us stopped for coffee at Starbucks Siglap.





It was a very good end to a friday night, especially so when we were chauffered back home in a brand new BMW 120i Cabriolet! :) I have to go out with Clarice more often! Haha!

A Picture says a Thousand words

I lurve these 2 modified pictures. Heh! And the countdown to 10 January 2009 begins!

Happy 11th month day Kaelyn!

Happy 11th month day Kaelyn! My Kae is now 11 months old! 31 more days to turning 1 year old; from a baby to a toddler! Heehee. Have decided on the venue to celebrate her birthday more or less, stay tuned! And now have to source for a birthday cake, and goodies for her little friends who will be there to celebrate with her!

Close up... finally!

We finally got down to applying a passport for Kae; finally took photos of her for the application! We've submitted the application online... but not sure if they will accept the photo. Hah. Guess which one we used? Not the middle one heh!

To Do or Not To Do

I always like to delay what I am suppose to do. That is one of my weak points. I lurve to procrastinate! Not sure when this bad habit of mine started, well, it's still in me! My to do list is now longer than ever!

1. To clear my store room
2. To clear my study room
3. To clear the baby's room and turn it into a nursery; buy playmat and wall decor
4. To buy me new spectacles and contact lenses
5. To colour my hair
6. To straighten my hair
7. To buy new year clothes and shoes
8. To go for a family photoshoot
9. To decide on Kae's 1st year party venue(s)
10. To change curtains
11. To install a window and door grill

Sigh...

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...

My favourite month of the year is here again. Yes, Christmas is coming. It's something about the air in December that makes me feel like holidaying, although now I am not working, and everyday is a holiday to me?

Anyway, this December is different for me in a few ways. First, it will be Kae's 1st Xmas! Well, she celebrated last year with us while she was still in my stomach. Haha. Wondering what to buy for her as her 1st Xmas present. Hmmm.

Oh and also, we will not be putting up our Xmas tree this year. Sigh, because Kae will just pull everything down! Maybe will get the tiny puny tree that is like what 20-30m tall, and just display it on the TV cabinet. I need my house to look Xmas to get in the Xmas mood at home!

And we will not be going overseas for holiday this year end. Time to save money! And also not much places we can go if we wanna bring Kae along. Instead, we are just going to stay 1 night at Rasa Sentosa. Chose this place as it's just at the beach so we can just bring Kae to nua there or at Cafe Del Mar. Pray for good weather! I always complain that every year we will miss Zoukout coz we are abroad. Well, we can go this year! Except that we've decided to have a bbq on the same night. Hiak. Doesn't matter, I don't fancy dancing around in the sand and sweating it out and squeezing with a huge bunch.

But some things just never change. Like the fact that even though the economy is bad at the moment, crowds still cheong the malls, and it is damn difficult to find a place for dinner in orchard; you can see long queues outside all the restaurants. My dar dar will be on his 2 weeks block leave soon! Heehee. Can hardly wait! And I tend to overspend during this festive period :p. Sigh. Need to stop signing up any pacakges! But I do need to get my Chinese New Year clothes and shoes! Yada yada. I will most probably end up just buying anything at the last minute on CNY eve again, as usual. What's new.

I lurve lurve lurve December!

Balloony Baby

Just discovered recently that Kae lurves to play with balloons! We knew she lurves to play with balls, but it never strikes us that balloons also make her giggle! Okie, think I will start to buy her new balloons when her current ones "diminish" :)
