life's good...

things haven't been going smoothly at work and those who have been to my FB page might have "seen" me ranting like a b****.. well, let's just say someone has been so fake in front of me that i have thought of this person to be "real".. long story short, this someone is now a colleague of mine only. the good that came out of the horrendous week is: i know my real friends. my real nice co-workers who are also my buddies. who stood up for me and felt my pain too.. thanks darlings... thanks for the support u all have given to see me through..

and of cos my babies at home did wonders for me too! i remembered the day that shit happened. it threw me off-guard and i was defeated. yes, defeated. i didnt know how to feel anything. i was sooooo upset i couldn't help but cry while driving home to mum's place. until my vision blurred that i was left with no choice but to get a hold on myself and control the flow of tears so that i could drive. dear had to deal with a defeated wife behind the wheels while fearing for his own life.. sorie baby! i wanted to scream and shout and honk the horn for the longest time so as to let off steam. but there is simply no outlet!!! *fumes*

lucky for me, i m super blessed with a great family, a loving dear and my 2 beautiful darlings! i wouldn't say that the shit just disappeared upon seeing them. but their laughter and smiles did wonders to lift that dreaded gloom off me and returned the chirpy life in me.. thank you to that special person up there. i know u must have been looking out for me. so that when i fell, u sent my beautiful family to pick me up rightaway. =)

cheers! life's good for cherie. and i hope life's good for everyone else too!

lookalikes...

was going through pics of the previous post and one particular photo popped right out at me.. itz sooooooo familiar looking.. wat do u tink??



LOL! they are so piggy-looking!! hahahahaha

my smiley ayden, artistic missy and everything else...

i m missing so much of the lil As' photos which i hv yet to post! and as usual, backlog to be cleared again this time.. hee..

missy on 中秋节with her lantern.. (oops! itz ages ago hor??) anyway, itz more like her "birthday" cos she's busy lighting and blowing out the candle in her lantern.. haha!

then it was ayden's 3rd 6-in-1 vaccination. he was actually asleep from the waiting but when the needle went in, he flinched but only let out a short cry and a long grumble.. phew! i tot he's going to be hard to pacify again.. heehee..

looking all chirpy BEFORE the jab...

next up on missy.. her hair was getting abit too long and she's going cranky again.. so off we went to have her hair done! nice lady @ vivo's branch but i still tink lan xiang @ united square does a better job.. especially with the concave bob.. ah well. as long as itz not done by dat goon who destroyed her hairstyle sometime back..
and it was BB's wedding! of cos sam & i had to go... we hvnt seen her in AGES!!! she looks H.O.T! and we were reali glad we went though we were the only ones who knew each other.. cos her wedding @ white rabbit @ dempsey was so fun! the march in was a DANCE-IN! people were all having fun watching their "bros" & "sistas" don sunglasses and groove to the music.. awwwwww... i LOVE LOVE LOVE weddings.. they never fail to bring out joy in me..
as most will know, missy likes doodling.. the following are her more recent "works"..
missy trying to ACT out what she was trying to draw... top 2 pics depict a crying man..

i was tickled by her potrayal and interpretation of her 2nd pic though.. we didnt know wat she was drawing so she said "naughty boy stick out his tongue!" and proceeded to show the same.. LOL!

crazy photo moments AGAIN!



and last but not least, let me present the very very SMILEY ayden to complete the post (again!) !!

missy turns THREE!

my darling missy turns THREE on 8th October.. exciting! cos i can't wait to bid ADIEUS to her terrible twos! haha.. or am i in for something worse in her 3s? i certainly hope NOT!

her birthday "celebration" started a little earlier by default on 25th Sep.. cos we were (as usual...) at gobi and i wanted to try their raspberry cake.. and stupid me tot it was gonna be a slice.. but got presented with a 400gm cake instead.. hahaha! since a whole cake was right in front of me, might as well sing her a birthday song.. hahaha! mum refused to be part of it cos she wanted me to celebrate her birthday proper..

then on the actual day, dear & i showed up at her school as planned for her birthday celebration with a cute & lovely (and surprisingly delicious!!) choo-choo train cake from coffeebean..

i reali wanted to get her a dinosaur cake. but i dun see any nice ones at the usual places like bengawan/polar/primadeli etc. and to have a blogshop baker do one equals to spending at least $200 on her cake for her class! which to me: NO WAY. an expensive cake for an actual party: OK. but for the class? hmm... but i sort of regret my decision! cos her form teacher, ms quek asked if my cake was a dino cake before i can open the box. missy apparently had been telling her for ONE whole week that she has got a dino cake!! argh... and i can see the disappointment oin missy's face.. argh.. luckily for us, she brightened up after eyeing the many candies on her train cake.. phew! but not before she made us promise to get her a dino cake soon.. hahaha..

a super gleeful missy!
sharing the cake with her classmates..
and the party packs i prepared for them..
then as it is mummy's birthday in 2 days time as well and with 10.10.10 being such a HOT date at restaurants, bro & i decided to bring mummy out earlier for a birthday lunch.

we were undecided on wat to have and as 珮姨 had already treated her to a sumptious lunch the day before, we headed to iluma.. and settled for asian kitchen.. and phew! she's very pleased with the spread.. heehee.. must understand.. my mummy is a picky eater too la.. LOL..

the birthday girl, birthday mummy and the muscle-man (not talking abt my bro hor!) ayden boi!

i love love love his cute lil' tuxedo bib.. hiaks..
then we headed off to the arcade for some fun with missy!

me & my handsome darling..

missy doing a basketball shootout.. (hopefully she doesn't inherit my ball sense - or rather the lack of it!)
future F1 female racer!
harley chicks!


hee.. granny saw this and jio us to play with her.. so the entertaining part is left to missy while we cheered them on!

...... and as 舅舅 is back from china for 2 weeks, he jio-ed us for dimsum at asia grand. before the overwhelming (yes, overwhelming cos we had 2 tables and each table had TWO orders of EVERY dish!) food can arrive, ayden boi decided to snooze.. and cos we dun hv his stroller out with us, this is his makeshift cot! hahaha
and then after a power nap, he awakes! =)
missy is still very hyped over her birthday even though it has passed.. haha! she must tink her birthday lasts 2 weeks la..
realised the polo tee i got for missy when she was young was a girl's style.. haha! it looks so off on ayden! oopsie! time to hit poloralphlauren website for stuff!
