Change of Environment

2010-10-06T17:52:00.002+08:00

It is more than a month since I last blog. Times fly.... I had change my job last month and now in Construction company doing HR. From Jurong Estate I had moved on to Town area. Environment is a great changed for me. Got to squeeze mrt everyday to and fro.

I always in the manufacturing industry and construction industry is really so much different of what I used to do. The environment here is totally different too. Dealing with the site people can be very challenging. I guess site people are more rough. Just pray hard I can slowly adapt this challenging work.

It was a long waiting. I booked the class for more than 1 month as it was always fully booked. I went for the class today. I learn many things about baking macaroons. I also enjoyed myself very much on the hands on class and making new friends. Thanks Shinni for the wonderful experience with you. Hope I can start try my first attempt soon. This is really a SWEET SWEET stuff that not many people will like. What I like about macaroons was the multi-colour and the cute size of it.

Cayden's Quote

2010-07-28T14:06:00.002+08:00

Cayden conversation with teacher during morning break time ~

Teacher : Can I have some of your bread? (Which mummy prepare for him)

Cayden : Okie... and he pluck a little bit to the teacher.

Teacher : Oh so little.. can I have some more please?

Cayden : Cannot.... You go NTUC and buy lar...

Teacher : "Laugh" I don't have money leh...

Cayden : I also don't have...

After hearing this from the teacher, I just can't stop laughing.. Didn't expect he to reply this to the teacher. Actually, I had been preparing bread for him to school recently and I bought the bread at NTUC with him together each time. So I guess, that is why he asked his teacher to buy at NTUC... hahahahahah

Dr Eric Kwek 永在怀念中！

2010-04-17T10:51:00.005+08:00

This was taken from Shin Min Daily News on 16 April 2010.

I was shocked by the news..... My family doctor Dr Eric Kwek had passed away....

Actually got this news from one of my friend who also visited him & she saw the news in the newspaper on 16 Apr and break the news to me. I knew about his fall, his illness since last year, and always send regards to his wife whenever I visited his clinic. Mrs Kwek told me that he is recovering well & didnt I expect the condition become worsen. He is a good doctor who is always patient to me & give me many motherly advice on what to give my kids & what shouldn't which others doctor won't bother at all. He once send my son repeated medication to my house late in the evening, as to save my hassle from going to his clinic. We will always remember him, remember his kindness & patient towards us. Dr Eric Kwek，永在怀念中!

My two favourite ~ Wax Duck & Yu Sheng

2010-02-01T13:20:00.000+08:00

This is the two type of food “I Must” eat during Chinese New Year. I can only get to see & eat these during Chinese New Year. One is Yusheng (鱼生) another one is Wax Duck (腊鸭).

I always buy 3 ~ 4 pieces of Wax Duck Leg (腊鸭腿) from Chinatown and will eat it slowly during the Chinese New Year period. Trust me, don’t buy from your neighbourhood shopping mall or supermarket, Chinatown one is still the best.

As for Yusheng (鱼生), I eat it from my different relative’s house during the visiting. I will also buy the Yusheng (鱼生) from my cousin catering, or various Chinese & Japanese restaurant from Jurong Point if my friends visiting my house.

Disney Cookies Cutter

2010-01-20T19:40:00.001+08:00

I brought these 2 cookies cutter moulds @ $8.90 each at BHG Bugis. Internet is selling @ $14.90 each. What a great different! I bake about 100pcs of butter cookies for Cayden's goodies bags. The dough is soft so you got to put into the fridge at least half an hour before you can start using the cutter to cut out the shape. The biscuits turn out to be nice & not to sweet. Thumbs up for me. Maybe can give it a try to sell the goodies bags online. Hahahaha

Cayden 3rd Birthday Party @ School

2010-01-15T18:58:00.002+08:00

I remember I hold a birthday party for Cayden last year and it wasn't successful. He cried the moment he saw me and even while cutting the cake. Maybe last year, he was still young and wanted to be carry all the time. This year, I still wanted to hold a party for him.

To make it more special, I intend to homebake winnie the pooh & tigger biscuit for goodies bags and order Agar Agar cake. Something being different from the usual goodies bags with stationery,sweet,chocolate & biscuit & fresh cream sponge cake to Agar Agar cake.

Took a half day leave that day and went down to Cayden's school during the teabreak time. Happen to meet my dasao for lunch since she is also on leave and asked her along. Cayden was happy to see me in the school. The kids are happy to see the Barney's cake and everyone was pointing and saying.... Barney....Barney.... They started sing birthday song for him. Cayden giving up the cakes to all the classmates and the teachers. I guess Cayden must be very happy with the celebration with his classmates.

Genting Trip

2009-09-16T21:12:00.006+08:00

I went to Genting with my family during the Sep'09 School holiday. We stay there for three days and two nights by coach. Depart Singapore on Thursday morning @ around 7.30am and reach Genting @ 2pm. We had to wait for the hotel check in and only manage to get our keys at 4pm. What a long waiting..... We went to have our late lunch before proceed to Hotel. After that, we shop around at the first world hotel shopping mall. Then we went back to had a bath and the kids were too tired and fall asleep very quickly after the milk. We had KFC for our dinner. The guys went ahead to the casino and Suling & I proceed to our shopping. Not long after that, the shop started to close one by one. And we plan to come back again to shop tomorrow.

The next day, we had free breakfast at Resort Hotel. After that, we proceed to buy tickets to outdoor and indoor theme park. The kids are having fun especially Chloe and she wanted to try everything that is in the park. We adults ended up more tired then them. We spend 5 hours for outdoor theme park and 2 hours for indoor theme park. It rain just right after we finish our outdoor games. Heng ah.... Suling and I shop for awhile and then we all proceed to have dinner down the hill of Genting. (Just 5mins for first world hotel). There is free transport to & fro from first world hotel. The food was nice and price is reasonable. We headed back to rest after the dinner.

Today is our last day in Genting. We wake up about almost 10am and then headed downstair and had roti prata for breakfast. After which, rest awhile and check out hotel. We went to starbuck for coffee while waiting for the transport to come. It was time to say goodbye and it started to rain while we travel down the slope. I having a tough time, feeling very giddy throughout the whole journey home. Guess must be the turning and turning make me feel like that and the bus is a little old and squeezy compare to what we had earlier.

Doctor Fish Spa - First Experience

2009-09-07T09:45:00.004+08:00

See my expression - So ugly

Relaxing

Went to IMM with my bro & sis inlaw yesterday. Happen to saw this Doctor Fish Spa @ $5 for 10mins and wanted to try it. Chloe was excited too and wanted to try out. So the stall assistant advise that I just paid for 1 person and let Chloe tried out first as the stall assistant said that eventually the kids will back out. True enough, Chloe dare not put her leg into the pool. Hahahaha...

My turn to put my leg in. Infact quite scary to see the fishes attacking your leg even before your leg is going down. I felt very tickish but just endure. Was quite tense too and slowly the tense was gone and I actually enjoyed it. It was a great experience and will want to go again next time.

Lynn's Birthday Celebration

2009-08-28T11:08:00.004+08:00

We went to JPot Steamboat operated by Jumbo Seafood. The food was nice especially I love the sauce but I find it abit expensive when I order two person set meal and quantity was little. I ended up ordering more dishes. Total spend $60++ for two pax. Infact I wasn't keen to come back again bcos of the price but ended up due to the opening promotion, I was given another $60 voucher. Next visit every $50 spend, I can use $20 voucher. Which means I got to come back again to spend it.

After the steamboat dinner, we went to a liveband pub in Vivocity. We order some drinks and dessert and I whisper to the waiter to get a candle for me and put ontop of the dessert brownie. Ended up, the waiter actually told the liveband to sing a birthday song and send the dessert over to Lynn. Lynn was paisah and kept staring at me. I was innocent... I only told the waiter to light up the candle. Anyway, we both enjoyed ourself that day.

I wasn't keen to take the flight but my husband wanted me to join them as the rest of them didnt sit before. No one was afraid except Suling. She was just like me the first time I took the flight, didnt dare to look down and keep sitting on the benches. I laughed at her and told her that you cant feel the flyer moving lar. Still she sat throughout till the flyer finished. We took many pictures inside and soon it came to he end. After that, we went to Marina Square for a short shopping before heading home. We all went home tired but contented.

They make us laughed and make us angry. Rashida made a beads handbag for me. It is nice and unique and I decided to use it as a keychain. Thanks gal, you are always the best.

My dangsao booked the chalet at East Coast Park last minute as the Aloha Changi called her up and said that her booking had to be cancelled due to the Swine Flu. She had no choice but to book the chalet at East Coast Park as she had already informed her guests. Everything went smoothly and I went earlier to the Chalet to help out with Helium balloon. After the setting up of the buffet, the security over at that side mention that each table cost additional of $11 and $2 for each chair. It was ridiculous, everything was chargable even though we paid for the chalet. My dangsao swear that she will never ever booked this chalet anymore.

My Feelings

I’m getting sick
I’m getting tired
I’m getting sick & tired of everything
What is life
What is miserable
Why is life so miserable
What is happy
What is laughter
Why I can’t be as happy as before
Why I can’t hear anymore laughter
How long must I continue
How long must I tolerate
For the sake of someone
For the sake of my family
I could just tell myself is life
Is part and parcel of life

Manage to standup

Paying full attention to the instructor

With the help of the instructor

I brought my kids to IMM to have some fun at the playground & the water activity during the weekend. Was quite surprised to see there is a sport event held at the playground area. There is bowling, rollerblade, dancing, and many more. You can go for their free trial lesson there and I decided to let Chloe try on the rollerblade. Chloe was excited about it and when the lesson start, she had difficulty to stand up with the rollerblade. With the help of the instructor, she finally manage to stand up on her own. Still she fall down after a few minutes. She didnt manage to control her balancing and her leg keep open widely and fall down. The trial last for half and hour, although she keep falling but it is great that she tried it. Well done Chloe, keep it up.

Lynn & Cayden

Lynn's dessert (Vanilla with Tapioca ice-cream)

May's dessert (Green Tea ice-cream)

Cayden's school closed today and so I decided to meet Lynn for buffet lunch @ Market Place Merchant Court hotel. It was a wrong decision to had our lunch there. At first, Cayden could sit still but not long after that, he keep wanted to come down and we really had no peace to eat our lunch. Within an hour, we left our buffet lunch. I was actually full but Lynn wasn't. Quite sorry for her to accommodate me because of Cayden.

As it was raining heavily outside, we can only go to The Central for window shopping. Cayden fall asleep after 5mins shopping. Gosh.... How we wish we can go back to our buffet table. No choice, we decided to go for dessert since we had not have enough. We went to this Azabu Sabo for our dessert. It was delicious and after our window shopping we went home. Guess, next time I won't choose for buffet if I am going to bring Cayden along.

The founder of this bakincow was young and pretty and her husband also support her as a hobby to set up a small business in baking cheesecake and conduct workshop. Well done man and I am so envy of her success.

They give me a heartwarming when I first step into the house. The husband can even know my name when I am trying to find the place next door. They held the workshop in one of her room. The children are provided with colouring to decorate their cookies. They practise piping out in a paper first before they start on the actual cookies. There are many different colours and different decoration to make the cookies more tempting. After that, the founder give everyone a container to put their masterpiece in together with a tag to indicate from bakincow and there is also a certificate for everyone of them. I really impress of her professionalism and hope to attend more in future.

Bad Experience II

2009-03-11T19:50:00.001+08:00

Was very shock, sad & heartpain to see my boy lips become like that when I fetch him from school just now. It is very big, red & alittle swollen. I am furious and asked the evening teacher how come like that. She reply me that the incident was not during bath. (mistaken from the teacher who called me) It was before their bath, everyone was sitting on the floor with their leg cross, Cayden fall asleep. Teacher trying to wake him up by calling his name and maybe Cayden sudden shock and wake up and dunno how he fall towards the ground and teeth touches the lips and got himself injured. Accordingly to the teacher, head was not injured. But still I am very angry even with her explaination and I actually show a very bad face to the teacher. I feel that the teacher just not attentive enough and many things can be avoid if the teacher are more responsible. I am very regret to bring Cayden to this school, with so many incidents happen & so many China teachers there, really make me feel unease. Actually one the China teacher shouted at my son when he is just a new student and that make Cayden afraid of her & another China teacher caught reading magazine by my husband when she just reading & ignoring my son. Can you imagine that?

Luckily, yesterday after pressuring the principal from other childcare, she finally give me the confirmation seat for Cayden to enter the school in JUNE. Thank God! My hardwork didn't wasted. Now, I just had to pray hard for the next three months in the current childcare will be safe and good.

Bad Experience I

2009-03-11T12:56:00.004+08:00

I am sick & tired of Cayden's childcare even though it is quite a famous school with many branches islandwide. Since he started going childcare last year Dec, he had been sicked & injured many times. I know sick is very common as children tends to spread the virus around the school. He got food poison one week before CNY and the school denied and told me that I am the only parent who complaint. One incident that he came home with many red spot all over his bodies and I had to send him to see doctor and was diagnose that was BUG bite. OMG! He injured many times, almost every week when teacher called me up and told me about it. Everytime I asked how come like that, they will just give thousand of excuse until now I don't even bother to ask. Just this month, he had already fall twice at his head. One is Cayden was rocking his chair and fell backwards & today another incident that Cayden fall asleep while bathing time and teacher wake him up by calling his name and Cayden again fell backwards. Poor Cayden! Didn't the teacher hold him while calling him? I had already start finding new childcare near my neighbourhood since January and there wasn't any vacancy. I was on the waiting list now in a newly open childcare and just had to wait for the person in charge to call me. Haiz.... really hope I can quickly shift him to another childcare soon.

2009-02-17T21:52:00.002+08:00

Finally, after three years in this current company, I going to leave the place soon. My feeling now was relief & happy but also sad that I will miss my colleagues. I hate someone who don't appreciate me and don't appreciate my hard work. So I decided to move on by changing a new environment, hoping the next person will appreciate me & my hard work. I had tender my resignation and will be joining the new company in mid of March. Looking forward to new beginning of me.

I haven't start visiting my relatives yet for chinese new year. My whole family are down with diahorrea & vomitting. It started from Cayden first who had food poison on last Thursday and it took him about 4-5days to recover. Thank god he recover just before the eve of chinese new year. Then my turn to get sick on the eve of chinese new year when I visited the toilet 12 times till I had no energy to walk. Went to the clinic to see doctor and getting some medicine and ended up waiting time is 3 hours long. Poor me so suffering. Then Chloe started to vomit & diahorrea non-stop even after we brought her to 24hour clinic for injection and medicine. No choice, we decided to send her to KK hospital in case she needs to admit for drip as she had not been eating anything whole day. True enough, the doctor advise to admit her in hospital. She was put on drip and her fever keep up and down. The doctor took her stool and blood for test and the result is she got virus infection called ROTAVIRUS! I and my husband takes turn to stay with her in the hospital to look after her and finally she is able to go home on the 3rd day of staying in the hospital. She is now resting well at home with her PSP on hand. What a start of "Moo" year I had.

I decide to hold a mini celebration for Cayden's 2nd birthday at his new childcare. I brought a 1.5kg blueberry cake and prepared goodies bag for his classmates. It was the first time I do at school and also not sure how Cayden will react. When Cayden saw me in his classroom after his nap, he run towards me, crying and hugging me. When the party started, he refused to sit on the chair given as he was so afraid that I will leave the school without him. Slowly I sit beside him, telling him I am with him and then the children started to sit birthday song to him. After blowing of candles, all the children eating the cake happily and receving their goodie bags from the birthday boy.
