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!

Heart Wrenching it is...
Although I do not know her personally, I am truly saddened over the senseless death of Lo Hwei Yen, as with the rest of Singapore. No one deserves such a fate. I cannot imagine how she must had been feeling then...
My sincere condolences to Ms Lo's family and friends, and may she rest in peace...

Happy Thanksgiving!
It is Thanksgiving today. This holiday is celebrated in the United States on the fourth thursday in November and most people celebrate by gathering at home with family or friends for a holiday feast. Thanksgiving was originally a religious observance for all the members of the community to give thanks to God for a common purpose. Although we do not celebrate this in Singapore, it just got me thinking of the things that I am thankful for:
People
- Being married to my husband. We've made a few roundabouts in life before we finally got together. Life has been blissful since.
- Kaelyn. She is my favourite baby girl! Heehee. And I am thankful that she did not give me a hard time during my pregnancy; No nausea, no discomfort of any sort, nothing!
- My family. We went through a tough patch when my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. But she pulled through the treatments and is now living a normal life. 3 more years before the safe period :)
- My friends, whom I still keep in contact with, be it once a week, once a month, once a year, or once in a blue moon. You have played a part in my life, no matter how small, and I am grateful for that. There are so many (billions?) of people in the world, and yet our paths cross in one way or another.
& the Little Things in Life
- Being able to stay at home to look after Kae without worrying about making ends meet.
- Being able to afford the little luxuries in life without worrying about the credit card bill, like having foie gras 2 days in a row! Heehee :P
- Being able to gorge (literally!) on food while I am still pumping milk, heehee. Sigh, I have to watch my diet real soon as my supply is plunging!
- Having steamboat at Roxy Square when my parents take care of Kae on tuesdays!
- Watching re-runs of the Nanny and Friends on cable.
- That I am healthy (i think)!
- Getting back in shape so quickly after giving birth to Kae. Heehee. My pre-pregnancy bottoms are all now a bit loose for me!
- That there is so much yummie food around. Like the sashimi at Fish Mart Sakuraya Parkway, durian ice-cream at Scoopz Parkway, curry puffs at Tambuah Mas, donuts at J&Co, foie gras at Au Petit and Le Nicolas, Frogs' Leg porridge at Victoria Street, passion fruit meringue cake from the Patissier, pasta at Ristorante Da Valentino, etc etc.
And my list goes on... Will add on as and when...
What will your list of things to be thankful for be like? Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh what a Night!
22nd November 2008 was a night to remember.
I left Kaelyn to sleep overnight at my parents' place for the 1st time. She did sleep, but not throughout the night. According to my mum, she slept at her usual bedtime, 11 plus. But she woke up at 3am and refused to sleep. She finally slept before 5am, and woke up at 8am. She slept again at around 9am. I was hoping that Kae would be able to spend the night over at Bishan without much problems so that I can make it a regular thingy. Oh well, she will get used to it, *evil grin*.
Mummy and Kae before going off to Bishan:
The reason why i left Kaelyn overnight was because I wanted to go party! But alas, Aud, Jas and I ended up at Balaclava to chill; we still had a fantastic time! I think we don't have the energy anymore to dance the whole night.
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Why? Because there were shoe shops in Suntec for me to go to buy shoes, as my right shoe died on me! I only noticed that my strap broke after dinner. Heng ah, if we had gone to Clarke Quay as planned, I would be limping around in one shoe. This is the 1st time I've worn a shoe till the strap broke. And it happened to be my favourite pair; the one I bought for my ROM. Sob sob. In the end, I bought myself (another) RED pair. Heehee.
My favourite pair:
My new shoe!
