The Singapore Zoo

Well... this post is long overdue... we went to the Zoo last weekend as Sara had discount tickets and it was only valid till the end of this month. By the time we reached the Zoo, it was close to noon... stayed there till almost 4pm or so before we headed home... As usual, everyone was shacked out and ended up napping...

Garry & myself den left the hse around 6pm to go get dinner... yummilicious.... Crab crab crabs.... well... that day was also how we spent our 3rd Wedding Anniversary... together with my family :) though it was nothing extravagent or romantic, it was a happy moment that we shared!~

Anyway here are the pics I took that day... :)



Well... I dun reali look forward to going back to work tomorrow but den again I always feel this way on sunday nite. Heheh... I haf to focus n tell myself that I'm only workin for 3 days cos I'd be on leave on tues n wed is PH!~ YeaH!! :) We'd be celebrating Mummy's birthday this coming weekend in JB... I tink we'd be staying either at Zon or Mutiara since we always have a free room stay every year at both hotels :)

I'm sure October will pass very fast cos I already have programs planned almost every weekend and it's not even 1st October yet!! hehehe... lots of birthdays this month... which means there'd be many gatherings with the gang :) I cant wait to bring the kids for their full grooming session on the 11th as they look horribily messy now. Doesnt help that I'm bathing and doing minor trims every week cos they still look a mess after abt 2 hours : *siGh* I need Marc to do his magic on them... hehehe... and of cos the long awaited MS Gathering is on the 26th to which I'm counting down to...

Tiring Week...

This week has been kinda tiring as I'm doing 3 days of OT... tomorrow's the last OT for this week... decided to change 1 of my OT dates to tomorrow as I would only be meeting up with papa & family only at 7pm at the hotel for dinner. So instead of walking around aimlessly and buying stuff, I decided to jus do 1.5 hours of OT so that next week I only need to do OT on 2 days :) hehehe...

After this weekend, I'm pretty sure I'll be burnt out! My weekend starts from tomorrow after work and I have a very busy schedule... firstly, after dinner tomorrow, we'll be catching Bangkok Dangerous at The Cathay. On Sat, we'll be catching Mama Mia The Movie at Cathay Causeway Point at 9.45pm :) After which on Sunday, we'll all be heading down to the Zoo!! Wooohoo~ Long time since we went to the Zoo

Seems like Garry and myself be spending our 3rd Wedding Anniversary not only with my family but with the animals in the Zoo... hahaha... :) Initially we didnt know how to spend it or where to go... Always the same old stuff... dinner, hotel, short-trip... kinda bored... n it's only our 3rd year... goodness ah... kekeke... for me I dun need things like him giving me surprises on our anniversary I'd rather he surprise me any other day when I least expect it... hahah... :)

Well... at least now we know wat we'll be doing on our anniversary this year... hahaha... :) Hopefully next year, we'll come up with something more exciting... maybe a trip somewhere? Or something la... hahaha.... :) Have been busy today the minute i reached home... had dinner and was busy preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast.... making my chicken sandwich due to special request from some... :)

These are the ingredients that I use to make my sandwich... :) The lettuce, tomatoes, roast chicken and bread were so generously contributed by Chitra and Priya, the Honey Mustard was kindly contributed by Jessica and the rest of the stuffs are mine... ekeke.... the whole chicken filled 1 large bowl after it was shreaded painstakingly by yours truely and of cos Mr Lee... :) With Toby and Tamy waiting patiently under the table... too bad for them not a slice dropped... =Þ



As I was almost finishing the whole loaf of bread, there was still quite abit of chicken, lettuce and tomatoes left so I got Mr Lee to go down n get more bread so that I could make more sandwiches and share them with some others at work so that it wont go to waste since I wouldn't be home to eat it the next few days. Psssttt... Chitra & Priya, I hope u guys dun mind ya.... :)

The end result of my masterpiece... :)



One thing that I forgot to mention that happened this week was that we had a special guest at work... Emily brought Bernice to work on her off day to visit the aunties and jiejies at work :) Aiyo... she has grown so much since the last time I saw her.... heheh... but she is still ever so chubby and cute... :) Check her out man... she was holding my red pen and helping me with my batches... and she can say Dog... hehehe....



Another good news that I received today is that Zhi has finally found a home for herself... it's located at Fernvale... seems like everyone is staying around Hougang, Sengkang & Serangoon area besides me... hmmm... = Anyway... getting a flat means that she will be tying the knot soon... and she said that the date is tentatively set in March 2009! Woohoo~ that's very fast u know...

About 6 months time only and u have so many things that needs to be prepared and done! U have to start now oredi... actuali now is abit too late oso... cos u need to give at least 3 months for the bridal studio to produce your photo album after yr selection and also about 3 months for the wedding rings to be ready...

But den again, if you have the all important S11 or some might know it as Vitamin M, anything and everything is possible to happen within a short notice. Jus let me know if u need my help ya... And btw... Congratulation my dear fren~ U've crossed another hurdle in life and have made it... Welcome to the Married Club!! :) Hahaha....

Mid-Autumn Festival

While we were at Upet to get the diapers for Tamy on Sat, Ah Dai was there too and he started following us cos Tamy was on heat... but he was rather mild... told him no and he kinda listened to me for awhile though he continued to follow us wherever we went from a distance :) It was only when his owner scolded him not to disturb us that he left us alone for a few minutes... we continued shopping for some treats for the boys and after we paid for our stuffs we headed back to Hougang...

These are how her diapers look like... so cute rite... almost like the ones babies have jus without the hole at the back for their tail... :) We decided to get Size S instead of M cos we did a comparison with the sample and the M seems to be much to big for Tamy... though the top is stretchable, if she jumps, I'm pretty sure her pampers will jus drop off... hahaha... so far this size seems ok for her so we'd probably jus stick to it. Anyway, I'm quite sure that this would be her 1st and last heat she'll be experiencing...




There we had lunch at the newly opened Kopitiam near Buangkok MRT station before heading to the NTUC that was opened for 24 hours. The space area was kinda small but yet they wanted to squeeze in as many stuff as possible... whole place looked really disorganised and messy to my standards. I can jus imagine how pack the whole plc will be come the festive seasons... tSk tsk tsk...

This was to be our 1st and last time there... reason being that it was kinda hard to locate the carpark, there wasnt proper direction on how to get there, the plc is cramp, the lift from and to the carpark was the common lift where residents of the block used. To top that, payment was either via cash or nets or the NTUC credit card. No other card were excepted and the reason for this is that they are a small outlet...

I tot that that was nonsense. When u apply for a credit card machine to be used in a premise, it doesnt segregate the type of credit card or the bank where the card came from. So the cashier's explanation jus doesnt make sense to me. Whatever la... we left for home to rest... took a nap cos we were so shacked... hehehe... den after dinner, papa went to meet some of his frenz while we drove around... went to Chinatown but the lights were a disappointment.

We drove pass Singapore River, went to Mt Faber and den Labrador Park where there were many family and groups of frenz hanging out. Some were there with their families to have moon cake and light candles while others were jus chatting the nite away. Tried takin some pic but it was too dark so the shots didnt turn out well. After that, we headed down to Changi Airport which is 1 of our favourite hunts... heheh...




By the time we went back to Hougang it was already past 1am. Packed our stuff and headed home... once again, we only went to bed around 2+! Woke up this morning around 10am as Gora was coming to clean the plc. Today's been a rather lazy day for us. Apart from going out for lunch, we didnt do much as Gora was busy cleaning our plc so we stayed home the most of today. Became couch potatoes after lunch and the both of us together with Toby and Tamy ended up napping on the couch while MTV Pimp my ride was on air :) Good thing I woke up in time to pay and send Gora off before gettin ready to go to my in-laws plc for dinner.

Dinner was good... it's been along time since I drank my MIL's soup... I love all her soups... always so tasty even though she always says wo shui bian zhu de... kekeke... somehow when we follow her instructions, the taste is never the same. Anyway, after dinner, the kids had a hell of a good time playing with candles and a mini lantern... hahah... :) Reminds me of how i used to play with candles when we were younger... Rolling Good Times~ :)
















Even this overgrown buffalo was having a jolly good time playing with WeiWei's scooter and helping the kids with their lantern n lighting of the candles... hahaha.... :) Brings out the child in him ah... hehehe... :)




Both Toby & Tamy have been good today especially my baby girl... Toby has been very protective of Tamy especially when we were in Hougang the past 2 days... always coming to her aid whenever she is being harressed by Terry or Tommy. Although he lets her defend herself, he is always close at bay when she starts screaming... heheh... But I'm proud that my baby girl is learning to defend herself when those 2 notti boys kept coming too close to her... she would give a low n long growl before snapping at them. If that doesnt work, she starts her sirens and korkor will come running to snap at the boys.... Hahah... :)





Tamy is more or less her usual self though alittle quiet and very restless... she has been slping the whole day and doesnt like walkin too much. She also has this habit of being manja with Toby and likes to lie near him. He's been good and lets her lie very near him compared to the usual days when he will get up n walk away if he's feelin hot. I was jus mentioning to Garry earlier today that Tamy seems to have grown slightly bigger since her heat came... Or maybe its jus my eyes playing tricks on me... but she does seem to be bigger, taller n heavier as well leh... Hmm...

When we came home jus now, she was her usually screaming and whinning self... kekeke... always jumping in her playpen and screaming n whinning at the same time... it gets louder if we sayang Toby and ignore her... heheh.... =Þ so of cos I had to go n carry her out of her playpen and sayang her as well... :) Whin whin whin as always... den she ran to Garry and started jumping n whinning as well... demanding to be sayang-ed... hahah...

Her bleeding is slightly more than i expected since today is only the 2nd day... i was expectin tiny droplets but there were bigger than that... almost the size of kidney beans... heheh... well she is adapting well to wearing her pampers all day... noticed that she doesnt pee or poo when she wears her pampers... been like this the past 2 days... so we had to keep taking her pampers out every few hours so that she can roam about and then pee a couple of times as well as poo before the pampers goes back on again... I shall save u guys and not publish those bloody pics here...


I guess this more or less sums up my weekend... too bad it's so short... *siGh* Back to work tomorrow and more OTs to do... Damn~ Will be doing OT on the 16th and 18th for next week and then 23rd to the 25th the following week. Sibeh sian ah... :( Well on the brighter side, we will be meeting up with the family for dinner on the 19th followed by a movie to celebrate papa's 55th Birthday~ :) And this weekend would be my 3rd Wedding Anniversary as well... time flies~
