and if u are one of those who wonders if i hv lost any weight.. NOPE! haha.. i hvnt.. not a single gram off the 5kg which i promised myself.. secret skills of phototaking did help though in shaving off at least 5 pounds off my frame in the pics! LOL





and then.. the next day on my 30th BURPDAY, i received my best pressie from missy!!! she's picked to be featured on the Tampines 1 ad which i was talking abt in a previous post.. woohoo! though the prize is a $50 asiamalls voucher, i m elated! thanks sweetheart.. u made my heart swell! u made me soooooooooooo proud.. am i on the way to be my long-awaited status of 星妈?? kekeke..

and dinner was on 美姨 at 老板娘 at joo chiat who serves up droolicious homecooked style food.. thanks to both!!! MUACKS!

珮姨 & lilian 姐姐 also got me a cute hippo soft-toy/ bolster! love it!

the BIG 3-0

*disclaimer: pls read the following with a pinch of salt. just realised after posting that i might come across as showy with this post. however, i must state that this is not my intention. NOPE! cos i have nothing to show for. tis merely serves as a reminder to myself of who i used to be. how i used to behave.. which sums up that i make mostly reckless decisions... well, what i m trying to say here is how i can't be the same person anymore.. and age is reali catching up. well.. my disclaimer is too long. enjoy... with a pinch of salt..

hmm... i m getting scared as the day draws near... by right it shouldn't make any difference as i have passed the previous 29 years with no issues.. (ok ok... turning 18 & 21 were super big deal then...) but time seems to have sped past just like dat.. so many resolutions unfulfilled/ incomplete! i used to pride myself on "just do it" (with no connections to Nike though) without considering any external factors. NONE. but this "just do it" attitude seems to have mellowed in the later half of my 20s and in turn, filled with lotsa "what if i do this and itz a mistake" etc...

~i wanted to be a model. i did.
~i wanted to try modelling competitions and prove myself. i did.
~i wanted to get my degree. i did.
~i wanted to be a cabin crew with SQ. i did.
~i wanted to get married to dear. i did.
~i wanted to get my own place. i did.
~i wanted to get my license. i did.
~i wanted to get my car. i did albeit a small pt.A to B car. but itz MINE!
~i finally decide to have a child. i did. and am forever grateful for my lovely missy.

now... what went wrong?

~i did not want to put on weight. i did. 12kg since i started working.
~i wanted to lose 5kg before my 30th birthday. something i promised myself from the start of this year. erm.. i have yet to lose a single gram.
~i wanted to bring missy back home to stay on weekends. not done yet. except for the very very occasional afternoon play sessions at home.
~i wanted a spick & span place. i do spring clean but clutter is always there. can never seem to throw all things useless out!
~i want a new car & new house. dear has said to wait till next year. no issues with this though. but i want the potential cash gains asap!! haha..
~i want to be able to meet up with my friends as regular as we used to. but i can't make myself spend my weekends away from missy.
~i want to party! i want to drink! i want to enjoy... well.. i still do but with a very clear head nowadays. ha.. doesn't seem to be able to reach the "super-high" stage like last time. can't seem to lose it and go all crazy.. which i tink shd be good news for my buddies & dear though.. hahaha...

and the list goes on...

and to make the big 3 more surreal, i m still the super young-at-heart crazy little girl who relies so much on mummy, granny & dear. i m the original kiddo in the family. i dun feel 30. i feel like a kid. i feel like i still want all the attention! (though this may not always happen esp with missy ard now.. ha...) i m still the kiddo in the group of frens though i m the 1st to give birth. itz reali quite crazy..

i have been telling dear that i dun wana celebrate my 30th birthday since the start of this year. however, i have been having 2nd thoughts about it. should i or should i not? what the heck! i think i will simply hibernate at home and spend my precious day with missy & family.

oh.. watever..

bye 20s... hello 3-0s...

p.s. *urgh* as if turning big 3 ain't irritating enough, i still have to submit my application for a new NRIC and pay $10! grr...

Beat it...

ok.. i just have to share this super lame joke i read in qi's blog..

"Now, he's somewhere, faraway, looking for his pen.

coz, "Beat it" (bi lei?!?) bi=pen"

note: "he" refers to michael jackson... tsk tsk...

with NO disrespect to the dead (and i like MJ...) itz super lame but i can't stop laughing esp when missy danced to the nice song!! u'll realise this little girl has developed new moves.. check out that swagger at the end of the 1st clip...

*oh.. and i realised this girl can't dance to rock music! must start teaching her head-bangs.. hahahha..







oh.. and dun u tink missy looks like she came from Precious Moments Catalogue??

lullaby... oi oi ohhhhhhh

missy sings well... *urgh*.. dat is when she's singing the lullaby.. which was obviously taught by my mum & grandma.. hahaha! cos itz soooooo old school though cute! and here she is singing the lullaby to gymbo... oh.. and her favourite "hap-birth-day-you" song... heeheehee







we went PuTien @ Tampines Mall for dinner.. awww.. their food is surprisingly good and nicely-priced!! who's going to treat me next??

missy, my masseuse.. (or is it the other way round??)

missy has been giving us massages by tapping us on our backs and squeezing our necks & shoulders with her little fingers... my sweetie is soooooooooo sweet rite?

but but but.. here comes the spoiler.. she has learnt to ask for the massages from us as well!! argh.. she will put her hands on her neck, look at u.. then take ur hands and guide it to her little shoulders!! argh... and she has tis super blissed look on her face as u massage her... tsk tsk tsk.. and when mummy asked her "妹妹, 你很累很辛苦啊?", she nodded!!!

have we just spoilt her? since when do parents & grandmothers (yes, my mum had to give her massage too!!!) have to give the little ones massages? baby massages.. yes. toddler neck/ shoulder massage? hmm...

my quiet but fun weekend

hvnt been back to see missy for 3 days due to my crazy month-end close schedule and i missed her like crazy!!! but sweetie is still a darling and we enjoyed ourselves during the weekend with her..

saturday nite: to thai express @ iluma..
as this is my birthday month, i get a special gift from thai express.. a giant mug! check it out.. to prove that the mug is indeed big, check out the 3rd pic with my camera case in the mug.. hahaha! big hor??



anyway, the dinner was cheap and good! cheap cos i had the $15 birthday voucher and 20% rebates this time round cos my last visit was less than 1 week ago! hahaha.. good cos they reali did a good job.. the stuff were so yummy.. *slurp*



sunday: as mummy & grandma were feeling bored at home, they followed us to gymboree for missy's class.. and while missy had her class with daddy, we went makan-ing! keke..

some updates on missy:
1. she can do those shadow thingy with her hands (keke.. taught by 美姨.. =P ) "birds" & "butterfly".. silly thing is this girl can't seem to see past her hands.. (short hands block her own view la.. hahaha!) and she is forever chasing those shadows.. LOL!

2. know lotsa yoga poses and can do them pretty well (phew! if she can't do them at this stage, i'd be very very worried)

3. more articulate and is able to express her needs & wants pretty well now.. but loads of baby language involved and i m trying hard to decipher them.. e.g. "ney" is for barney.. "toon" is for cartoons... etc etc.. haiz.. wonder how frustrated she must be when i dun seem to get her...

anyway.. datz all for now! brains aren't working to itz optimal level now... need to recollect myself and update again!

great week ahead!!

p.s. am sooooooooooo looking forward to my redang cruise trip with baby & bangkok trip with the girls... hiaks hiaks hiaks...
