Malacca trip

Went on a short Malacca trip from 29Dec - 1Jan, with my parents, granny, Skyler (Lawrence didnt manage to go cos he needs to work on 31 Dec) and sis + family. Its a very rest and relax trip with shopping/visiting places of interest in the morning, back to hotel to nap/swim in the afternoon and back out in town to have dinner and walk around. Granny commented that she enjoys it alot and hope to go back again! :D

We booked the Equatorial Hotel, club room for the 4 days stay. The room was a bit disappointing thou it was huge. Have expected something better. But oh well, the location on the other hand is real good! So that should compensate the room's condition.

Dad and bil drove us to Malacca. I am taking dad's car with my beloved mama :D

Decorated trishaw to attract tourist to sit

Skyler exploring the room and trying to on the TV

Cheeky!

Swimming time!

As we booked the clubroom, we get to have free food every evening. The menu changes everyday. Very nicely done strawberries.

Mini hamburgers

Ya, Skyler was feverish on the first day -_-"

4 generations

At one of the attraction

Yes! Duck tour! And I didnt even try the one in Singapore before!

Love*Love

Skyler loves his bubbles session and....

Swimming time again!

As it was 31 Dec'11, we did the countdown in the hotel. It was MISERABLE! They employed the diff races (ie. chinese, indian and malay) to play their traditional music, one after the other and it goes on and on and on..ie chinese play first then followed by malay then indian and repeat... the one interest thing is that the ppl here get to light their own fireworks! The hotel ppl were shooting fireworks right outside the hotel lobby. I was with sis and the lobby waiting for the balloons..wahahha to get for the kids. Skyler was with granny and dad in the hotel room. But he was awaken by the loud bangs of the fireworks, thus he did wake up and enjoy the fireworks. :)

Falling balloons from the ceiling and midnight!

Happy 2012 everyone!

Feels great

Merry Christmas everyone!!! After > 2 yrs, I m finally sleeping back on my own bed back at my mom's place!! Feels so great to be back! Nothing beats the feeling of being home, doted on n well taken care of.

Lazy me

Die, I m getting lazier n lazier to update my blog. Trying to tell myself blog it! Blog it! But by the time I settle Skyler into bed every night, the serial shows online are calling for me, demanding me to watch them! Lol... Funsion won over blogspot so here I m with lesser n lesser blog post each mth.

ok back to updates abt me. Have been in my new co for almost a mth. Lots of things to learn n my boss is slowly showing her "pattern". Hopefully she is not as bad as I feel she is. Still need time to get to know her n her working style.

On a happier note, I m looking fwd to dec! It wld be a super busy month for me in terms of work as well as parties! We r currently changing acctg system thus there r lots of checking to do n in addition to tat, auditors r coming in! This would be My first time being audited. Lol i m now at the other side of the field. Party wise, I have 5 Christmas parties to attend! Lots of Christmas presents to buy too!! Broke, broke, broke, broke...anyway, Christmas is the time for giving n sharing isn't it? :)

Lastly, greetings from skyler (getting more n more cheeky nowadays)

Rest & Relax

Today is day 4 of being jobless @ job in transit. Been gg out with Skyler everyday since sat. Sat-Skyler's round 2 of PS. Sun - Bb Zouk, Mon - Shopping with Skyler n today, brought him to JG's trial class. Tml is gg to be ME TIME! Gg for massage n shopping alone! Within these 3 weeks of rest period, I needa fit in 4 weddings n 3 trips; cruise, hong kong n staycation at sentosa. Other days are scheduled to meetup with frens. 3 weeks are really not enough man. But I m more than happy to have the 3 weeks to spend time with Skyler. He totally enjoyed his first Zouk experience, dancing on the stage.





Looking hip huh. :p

As for JG, I think it's over-rated. The class we went for is pure play. Nothing academic at all. Feel tat bibinogs is better. It's similar to JG in terms of lesson structure but at least there r things to learn. Wat JG does in class, I can jolly do it at home myself.


went to the trial with Nathan


Ok to be fair, at least they have art work. This is something which MLG doesn't have.

Hope I won't have serious post holiday blues when i start work in Nov. Looking fwd to my trips :)

Changes in life

Recently there are quite a few changes in my life. Some are devastating (but we have since learnt to move on and hope for the best) and some are lifestyle arrangements n some are career related.

I have stopped breastfeeding completely on the 2nd week if August. I can finally say bye bye to waking up at 530am to pump but at the same time, I m saying hello to fats! Yes, I can see the significant increase in fats on my tummy n hips area... -_-" oh well, it's time for exercise. So bye bye pump n hello hula hoop!

Next, I have also started Skyler on a weekly right brain development class back in Jul. Some of you might bs thinking tat I m very KS to start Skyler on class so young. But being a full time working mom, I m not able to spend much time teaching him things during the weekdays. So hopefully by attending classes conducted by trained professional teachers, Skyler can at least absorb a bit? Anyway, it's only 1hr per lesson per week. He still has the rest of the 6 days n 23 hrs to eat, sleep n play. So I m not depriving him of his childhood right. Mind u, these classes doesn't come cheap. I have just signed him for the 2nd school term which would start in oct till Jan. :p His class is on Sunday morning 9am, so I dun get to sleep in on weekends too.

And finally, I have tendered!! Yes! After 7 yrs in KPMG, I feel tat tat is quite enough. It's time for me to venture out n see what I m worth in the commercial sector. Went for interview for 1 company n I got the job. I was quite happy as i didnt expect it to be so easy. Remember the time after graduating from uni , the no of mths n interviews tat I went thru before finally securing a job. So stepping into KPMG was really a wise move. At least I m worth something in the job market now. My new employer actually offered me a higher pay than wat I have stated in my asking pay. They say they dun wanna short change me for giving me a lower pay. They wanna pay wat I m worth . Actually I didn't ask for too much increment from my current salary taking into consideration tat I have left the audit function for 1 yr n in this 1 yr, I m doing non Accts related job. But of cos I m happy tat my new employer is so generous to increase my pay automatically. But I guess, with increase salary, higher position , it would of course means more responsibilities n bigger challengers. Just hope tat I m not itchy backside n wont regret leaving my comfort zone to take up more "shit".

Gg have a short break first before starting on the other side. Gg spend more time with my precious before diving head in into my new job scope. Oh ya, n we r gg for a short overseas trip to HK, of cos bring Skyler along too. It wld be his first flight. Hope he won't fuss too much while on the plane.

Pea brain

Some ppl just has pea brain. Say so many times but it just dun get registered in their miserable brain. After that still dare to be angry and said why can't they ask when I have told them the same thing for at least 5 times in a short span of 10 mins. When u wan to ask the same qn so many times, then get prepare to get irritated answers!!!

Cooking day

Today is cooking day. Tried new recipe for Skyler's breakfast n dinner.



Pancakes in the making



Served with apple juice



Verdict - Skyler didn't like it alot cos he didn't finish it. Might be due to the fact tat it's not sweet as I didn't give him maple syrup. Hmm think next round I will add in some smashed fruits

Dinner is paste with mushroom n self blend tomato sauce





Place a slice of cheese on top



Toast it



And ta-da! It's yummy!!

Skyler is ONE

My baby has turned ONE on 25th Jul. Time really flies and now he is entering the toddler stage; no longer an infant. Thru this 1 yr, i see how he grew from a tiny bundle of a crying baby, to a walking toddler with a mind of his own. I see how he falls and learns to stand up again by himself. I see how he learns to do things such as picking up toys, laughing, crying, frowning and how his emotions grows to be more sophisticated. From toothless to now with 5 tiny baby teeth, from 3.3kg to 9.4kg and much more. My baby is growing everyday, learning new things and nv fail to amaze us with what he can do. His motor skills (he can sit, crawl and walk earlier than his peers) are developing at a faster pace than his oral skill (still waiting for him to call mama and papa properly). At 1 yr old he can:

- walk unassisted

- stand up from a sitting position unassisted

- is aware of curbs and stairs and knows how to be careful when walking over them

- has 5 teeth (2 on top and 3 below)

- say mumummu and papapappa repeating (with no particular meaning)

- weighs 9.4kg

Baby, Happy Birthday and continue to grow well and stay healthy. XOXO

Skyler's Big One

Just celebrated Skyler's 1st birthday yesterday. It was tiring and planning started months ago. Feels machiam like wedding, with all the ordering of cakes, brownies, cater, purchasing of decorations online, doing invitation list, sending 0ut e-invites and reminders and also booking a professional photographer. I got to know my photographer, Simon throught one of my mommy fren, Irene. He was also the PG who took for us the July Bday Bash celebration. Love the way he takes photos, how the photos turns out and the vibrant col0urs that is always associated with his photos (unlike some PG's work which I have viewed before and mosts blank and white (yes even for photos of babies)). Not only that, he is also a very easy going and handsome guy! Hehe.. He has his own photoblog and wrote a great piece on Skyler's Big One. You can view it via the link below.

Jun/Jul

Jnu and Jul was a very very busy months for me. Lots of weddings and bday parties to attend. Nonetheless, its coming to a end soon and Skyler's 1st bday party is this sat! Have packed the goody bags last nite and ordered cater. Now left pumping the hand-held balloons and the helium balloons and collecting of his bday cake on the day itself. Oh ya, still have to get Skyler a pair of new shoe. Counting to the end of the month, I would be stopping bfing too. Looking forward to it and bye bye to the waking up early in the morning to pump or pumping while shopping.
