happy TIGGER year! 恭喜发财，红包拿来...

mummy & grandma & 珮姨 flew off to taiwan from 年三十 and just got back after 7 days of fun on Saturday nite! =) dear & i were very worried abt hving the lil' missy on our hands for the week cos we obviously hvnt "graduated" from our "weekend parents" status... hmm..

so how did it go?? we survived and more! yes, the week did seem long and BORING (and painful due to my back..) but we enjoyed ourselves with the missy loads.. she hasn't been the best baby (refusing her baths.. crying like we are plotting against her while shampooing.. insisting we pay her undivided attention at any one time.. blah blah blah...) but time spent with her showed us that we can MAKE it as good parents and we do have the patience & love in us to care for her 24/7 (ok.. not reali 24/7 but close) too! in fact, i was crying while driving home cos i saw her reluctant face when she was in 珮姨's car after leaving 舅舅's house on Sunday afternoon to go back to mummy's place... i already missed her! sob sob sob.. we resolve to be better parents and to spend more private time with missy. gambate!

so what did we do with missy??
saturday: (AM) sending the folks off at the airport! (PM) to our place! and j.pt to collect dear's pants.. the mall is so quiet though cos we erm... went late.. on a 年三十 where shops close early.. ha!
sunday 14th feb 年初一: (AM) back to mummy's place to pray.. (PM) to MIL's place for mini-gambling session... & then tried damn hard to locate 太公's place .. & then had a great dinner courtesy of 好姨 @ fish & co. & then home for more playtime with missy!
monday: (AM) playtime @ home ... brekkie @ pioneer mall.. supermart shopping @ giant... (PM) mummy's place to raid her place for supplies for the next day's party.. haha

wednesday: (AM) playtime @ home.. (PM) playdate @ sweetie dewi's place!! kiddos incl chloe, garina, jayden, hannah & 2 lil' babies, deborah & bosco! =) then to mummy's place to zonk out for the nite.. but not b4 having a nice dinner with 舅舅 and family... =P
thursday: (AM) missy off to school, tearfully! so sad to see her ke lian face.. tink she is facing separation anxiety again.. (thanks to ayden??) (PM) off to playtime @ home! and...... the screening of "9" to her.. itz a great show afterall! (i was scolding dear when he bought the DVD and i always tink of tim burton's movies to be too dark for kids!) missy refused to let us stop her show when we arranged to meet rayson for dinner/supper @ j.pt.. ha..
friday: (AM) off to check up @ ACJ.. didi is 2.1kg @ 32 weeks. tried asking dr. wong if i can induce @ 36 weeks.. *fat hope* cos must wait for lungs to fully develop.. ok. i'll wait! (PM) "9" was almost thought to be put on repeat mode, no thanks to missy's requests for the show for at least 4 times in one afternoon!!! 美姨 came by and wanted to cook so off we went to NTUC to grab some more ingredients for dinner and we had a good one.. and yup.. "9" was on 'repeat' mode again the rest of the evening.. =)
saturday: (AM) missy on her angbao collection "spree" at the market today cos tis is the 1st day since CNY started that any of the aunties & uncles at the market got to see her.. hurhurhur.. and the phrase grandma taught her? reali makes pple laugh and me wanting to dig a hole in the ground and hide my face! "恭喜发财，红包拿来..." (PM) off to iluma to get my satio.. but they only reserved the black for me as it was the last piece left.. hmm.. paid them a deposit and am looking forward to collecting the red one on tues/wed! hiaks.. shopped @ bugis and missy had a great time @ j.co cafe cos we ordered a big serving of yoghurt for us to share.. but she told me to drink my coffee instead! argh.. hmpf! then then then, it was time to pick the trio up from the airport @ nite.. gosh! ain't i glad to see them.. kekeke..
sunday: woke up early in the morning despite the late nite sleep for all of us.. and we are off to meet the whole family for lunch @ ah yat @ jurong bird park vicinity courtesy of 舅舅.. then to 好姨 then followed by 舅舅's house before home-sweet-home.. what a week!
