• belated birthday dinner treat..

    met up with jen during the week for dinner. a belated birthday treat for me.. because we haven’t found the time to have dinner proper. we met up quite late because I was stuck in a meeting past hours and even though I still had loads to clear, I dropped everything and left cos I was more than an hr late..   dinner was at pietro ristorante italiano (12 jalan kelulut, tel: 6484 5528), a French semi-fine dining in the heartlands. I chose the place for its proximity and because I have read about it and been wanting to try it for ages. a single serving of foie gras as…

  • My baby jerry Choo at 7 months.

    Happy 7 months old, baby! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind the past month, with him going through a lot of firsts. First time at the zoo, first time being sick, first time on the nebulizer machine, first stand, first few steps with support, first time sitting up by himself, first time taking the milk bottle and feeding himself, first climb, first self stand without support.. Gosh. Has it only been a month? It felt like eons! First time exploring his brand new playpen.. First zoo trip, checking out the wallabies. First sitting up by himself.. First climb.. First stand.. First major sickness.. (and first x-ray for the matter)…

  • Cat mountain surprise.

    I love throwing surprises. When the mood struck me that is. And of cos, the opportunity to do so.. I blogged about the goodwood park’s mao shan power puffs that was oh-so-good in my previous post. And because the promotion period is nearing its end, and my mum has yet to try.. The puff was too small to be shared among so many of us the other day so I brought her to buy some yesterday. Yes, crazily enough.. I drove out just to get the puffs.. Got one for my in-laws and another for Jen as a surprise, since I was meeting her for dinner last night. Here’s a…

  • Presents for Jerry from auntie Jen!

    I think all babies are lucky beings. They are always being gifted with presents before they are out! Mum here ain’t so lucky because my dear Jen went Xiamen and I didn’t get a present! Jerry has not 1 but 2 presents from her! Unfair! Mr bunny here is totally baby friendly, no eyes, buttons or small parts. I haven’t thought of a name for him yet. Currently, he’s occupying Jerry’s bed! And he got another onesie too! It says suitors in q! I’m quite sure daddy will agree with that tagline cos he thinks Jerry is sure to take after his traits! More clothes for my boy.. The wardrobe…

  • Miss the good old times.

    Had quite a lot to drink today, but surprisingly super sober and had enjoyed myself very much in months. Had a meet up with steve and Jen, which was long overdue and we sat at a quiet bistro @ changi with good food, great companion, beers and waves splashing softly in a distant and planes flying over us every 10-15 mins. It was a lovely place, and an even lovelier experience. We chatted about the good old memories in ph, the trips that we used to take, those retreats and the funny moments. And how we used to do things against the law, how we squeezed in food and shopping…

  • BBQ time!

    went bbq at jen’s place yesterday. haven’t been catching up with jen as much as i would love to. hate our jobs for being so demanding/time consuming. anyway, i was the only punctual one! jen’s specialty – jap rice ‘balls’ and my favourite type of corn! check out the giant prawns! they were sooooo huge! the boy peering over the food. and nope, all he did was sit around and waited for the food! i got too busy bbq-ing the night away and totally forgot to take more pictures of the rest of the food. urgh. another time then. packed the boy off to the airport to catch his flight…

  • the surprises went out fine…

    sent a bouquet of roses to cindy! and here’s the email i got from her while pretending that I knew nuts about the flowers. and i spoke to jennifer a while ago and she was telling me that the flowers that i sent her are so ME. and she told her husband the flowers were from ME without picking it up. Ok. i didn’t know that she went to her mum’s place for the day instead of resting at home, so the delivery man left the bouquet of flowers on her car porch. i guess it’s also the bunch of cheery flowers that i sent her with a mix of…

  • my birthday dinner.

    i almost went into fits just thinking about it and i almost want to kick der for no grand birthday meal.. and of cos, i didnt do anything but SULK big time. and secretly hitting him with x.silly’s hands when he is sleeping! ha! revenge time. (evil of women’s heart my heart). i was totally totally being a total grump when der had to cancel his leave on my birthday and head back to work. and he didnt bring me out for a nice dinner. and he didnt buy me a cake. and i COMPLAINED big time to jen, sulking my night away and she say she’ll bring me out…

  • i cannot think anymore.

    i am so brain dead, i am staring a list of to-list things and the brain simply refused to think anymore. so i have to resort to doing a bit of frivolous things. like blogging. it takes my mind to this place with bright sunlight and chirpy birds that cheers me up instantly. ok. am day-dreaming. so, the other day I was talking about the new bag that i have. here’s the pictures for comparison! and no, i didn’t DI the color. It’s 2 different bags. so which is better? not like i can change mine now. still.. der says i can buy the other color if i want (i…

  • as usual

    I just realised something stark after i just sent a msn message to my colleague . if there’s ONE thing that hasn’t changed since the last job, it’s me always asking about lunch before lunch time is even due. i guess a greedy person never change its appetite. 😛 (and yes, i can hear jen going, “ya lah! greedy pig!” when reading this.) and if you are keen to know.. i am going to order a packet of vegetarian bee hoon + a bowl of tonic soup. Yums. i’m already drooling…
