• jerome turns 1 month!

    and just like that.. a month passed us by!   happy 1 month, my little one! the day started early when we woke the kids, bathed them and packed them out of the house before 8.45am. for Jerome, bathing was done with pomelo and pomogranate (红花) leaves. ermm, the leaf was strategically placed. heh. his head looks really big in comparison to his tiny feet here!   for me, I was up at 6am to help my mum pack the red eggs and ang gu kueh.  my mum spent the night before cooking 140 eggs and coloring them. massive operation! I dressed Jerome in a customized romper that I made…

  • The office Christmas party.

    It’s usually the event of the year where everyone look forward to it, mainly because of the big and exciting prizes that we have in store. This year, it’s a little different. The rules have changes, the prizes no more and a lot of people went on leave! Still, it’s one of those events where EVERYONE would gamely dressed up to the theme. It’s my 4th Christmas party in the company, and the previous themes were pink christmas (I was in committee), blingz, back to school and this year.. It was fashion disaster. And I thought I was quite a fashion disaster wearing leopard prints, polka dots and stripes all…

  • Zachary birthday party.

    We attended zach’s 2nd birthday last Sunday. Time flies! I still remembered the day when he was born at Thomson and der & me went visiting. Last year, I attended his 1st party alone because der was stuck in camp and I was then newly preggers. Has a year since passed? Thomas and friends cake from pine gardens for the birthday boy. So cute! He gets to choose the train he wants from the cake. The birthday boy and mummy. As a family. I only managed to snap some candid shots of them. I think everything just swished past and the next thing I know.. The cake was cut, it…

  • Jerry’s full month party

    Planning THE party has been quite the arduous task. Party venue woes aside, planning the guest list, sending out invites, deciding on the menus, ordering the full month cakes for relatives and the last minute works. Wow. And I thought it could be a simple affair. I am soooooooo wrong. Everyone wanted to turn up (and turn up they did!) and the party turned out to be quite a mayhem, packed to the brim, lack of food, guests going hungry, my relatives had to stand at the door to give way to others. Oh my… I feel like a bad host! First thing first, cakes. We had wanted to do…

  • of party woes

    i really should have known better. after all, i organized that many events in my job but i didn’t do any prep work for the full month party until it was wayyyyyyy too late. *sigh* ok. it was also coupled with the fact that it was major adjustment on my end with my new role as a mother grappling on all baby-related issues, rolled together with all-time fatigue that i am feeling. man, it’s exhausting. besides, the man aint helping. he left everything to my device, didn’t help source or suggest anything at all (other than to provide the defacto venue suggestion) and didn’t give much comments even when presented…

  • christmas party @ andy’s!

    ho ho ho! i had the last christmas party yesterday at andy’s place. it was potluck, so bright and early in the morning, the boy and me trooped over to the market to buy our breakfast, and the fresh ingredients required for the potluck. the plan was to bring along curry chicken. we bought 2 fat chicken (my mum kept 1 for her own use) and onions. my mum have already helped me buy potatoes so that was out. errm, i must admit that i didn’t cook. my mum did, and her curry chicken was fantastic in my opinion, so that was the best food that i thought i could…

  • christmas lunch from santa mike

    mr Mike (my colleague from the sales/roadshow team) threw a christmas lunch for the team to thank everyone for the hard work put in during the year. the team also returned him a gift of robinson vouchers as a christmas gift. it was a fun affair because everyone were relaxed and having a longer lunch than usual. it was at Cafe in Action @ Valley Point, and we almost had the entire restaurant to ourselves, lest 2 tables that were outside the restaurant. it was a 4 course meal with a starter, soup with tonnes of garlic bread, main course and 2 desserts. i almost couldn’t stomach anything after the…

  • the office christmas party!

    its the much-looked forward to event of the year! mostly because of the gorgeous lucky draw prizes and the fun games. this year, the theme was boomz and blingz! i must say, the entire department have been really game for the theme and came dressed to the nines! those who didn’t (mostly the managers) were being made to dance to the song – Nobody. mark who was in the committee had a lot of fun teaching the folks the dance! this is mark and the 2 committee boys doing the performance. i don’t know how to rip the forfeit video off my colleague’s facebook (can it even be done?) so,…
