• my mother’s present!

    my mother’s day couldnt have started more splendidly for me, especially when I thought nothing exciting was happening except that my family is going for brunch before my brother flies off for another vacation.   how wrong I was.   and how pleasantly surprised I was.   these days, with jerry in school.. we no longer have to sleep battles to fight. no, scratch that. we have shorter sleep battles to fight because he usually goes down before 9.30pm (so do we, in fact). so when mother’s day came round at midnight, I woke from my nap and was quietly surfing the net on my phone while all my boys…

  • The husband’s birthday.

    Planning for the husband’s birthday made me realize something. I don’t have the excess energy to do something like that anymore these days. It takes a lot of effort! I feel a lot older and less energetic like i was in the past. Any little pockets of time I have, I rather crawl into bed, and close my eyes for a short nap, or simply, spacing out. Is this how is it like with kids? So, I invited the husband’s close friends to brunch at spruce to surprise the husband and nonchalantly told the husband that I haven’t planned anything but lets just go have brunch at a “new” place…

  • A lovely surprise.

    The husband jetted off for yet another business trip today and I didn’t had the time to send him off to the airport.. So the last I saw of him was when he dropped me off at the office.. And I was in a rush to get into the office after the trip to the pediatrician in the morning. I got home to all my toys greeting me, with a cute lady bug balloon and a sweet little note. Awwww.. I melted. But wait, does he mean I am a bug?! Like a pest kind of bug?! #%^*+=!?%?!* Never mind. The gesture is sweet enough to melt me after a…

  • 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…

  • My simple vday..

    I started the day pulling myself out of bed with only 3hrs sleep at 530am in the morning. Yay! He’s finally back from a one week trip. I hope it’s the last for the next few months since we are not far from d-day. Headed to the airport to give the boy a surprise (but his plane landed 50 mins earlier and I was caught halfway when he texted me). I had to reply because I didn’t want to risk missing him at the airport, so surprise blown. =( Headed for a quick brekkie before I quickly popped back home to prep for the work day and the boy sent…
