Ever since I own the iPad, I sort of neglected this blog cos it is always easier to use a computer and some stuff can't be done on the iPad and yet you still prefer to use it. Life has been good and I hope it can be like this for long run.
Kids are doing fine and Rebecca has turned 8 months and to think about it shes gonna be 9 months soon. She has begun to understand clapping and sitting upright pretty well. She loves to scream and she is one day who doesn't cry much but scream a lot and LOUD. Still, she's a adorable.
Jessica is a big girl now and I just brought her to watc h smurfs yesterday, she managed to sat through the whole show and I'm surprised. I guess the movie is good for kids like her age ESP when she started playing my smurfs, and knows the characters.
The only problem now is my toilet at home, damn . We all have to share the toilet upstairs cos the one below is having some problems. Hope the problem will resolve soon.

I just can't help it. All negative thoughts are flying through my head. Don't seem to be resting well during this confinement period, when I should make use of the nanny and get as much rest as possible.
Sometimes I wish my old helper is around. Not that the new one is terrible, just that she hasn't been picking English well enough, when is almost 2 months. She "gong gong" one and I'm sure she isn't 23 years old lah. She loves the newborn, but definitely not capable of taking care of her. I tend to worry when she brings my older one down to the playground. She don't seem to know the danger around.Hai
Am I going through mother blue leh? Or I've been home for too long, cos I dun stay home that much. But I went universal studio last sat for a short while and had dinner out on Sunday. Oh well, I just needed time to pull through this moody period. I'm glad that my mom is around for standby. Otherwise. . . .

2011-01-16T19:23:00.002+08:00

Hello and I'm back. Not sure for how long but I'm having my confinement now. Yes, Rebecca has arrived at her 37th week. My actual edd was 29 Jan. Her birthday is very close to my elder daughter, they can have their birthday party together next year onwards. A big birthday cake, I suppose.
This pregnancy is indeed a tough one and my first pregnancy was very smooth. Whatever I hope not to happen in this pregnancy, all happened. One of them was c section. It ended up as an emergency c section because my water bag burst when I'm not into labour. My placenta was low and causes bleeding in the middle of the night, 2am. My husband and I thought it was the "bloody show" but we were so wrong. I went into labour ward stayed till 8 plus for the doc to come and check.
The whole experience happened so fast and scary enough, I will never forget. Stayed in hospital for 3 long sleepless nights. Haiz, I'm just glad the baby is healthy and heavier than we thought she might be. I guess it won't be easy from now on. 2 kids, more responsibilities. I am happy to have them in my life. With all the sufferings, it is worth it. Now, I appreciate my mother even more cos she went through the operation for us.

2010-11-26T23:11:00.000+08:00

Havent been taking much pictures of myself. I have more pictures of Jessica than myself. Im in my 31st week of pregnancy and looking forward to the end of thid pregnancy journey. At the same time, im afraid of bigger responsibilites of another child. Going through night feeds, countless diaper change. I certainly hope this 2nd baby wont have vomitting problems like jessica. Jessica vomits alot, no one can imagine. My mom thinks that Jessica is a very difficult baby and there are many easy ones around.
Watching Jessica grow is such a joy. Recently i have been recalling her infancy stage where she knows nothing till talking non stop now and arguing with me. Hair grew alot more that now i can tie them. She likes princesses and wants to be one of them. She knows alot of cartoons. She can even swim alone with her jacket when she used to be afraid of water. The next thing to worry about her is attending her 1st day in school, nursery which is in january. She hasnt gone to school without mommy yet, i guess separation anxiety will be bad and by then i will be near by due date.
This pregnancy disallow me to sleep on my side, the baby kicks alot. So most of the time i end up sleeping on my back . In the morning, i will get stiff back and buttocks. well.....
Been praying alot that i can have natural birth , just like with Jessica because the experience was pleasant. however, my placenta has been low, i might end up with a c section. hoping for the best though.
good night...

2010-09-13T12:04:00.000+08:00

Im into my 20 weeks and finally i felt that my friend was right. Time passed faster in this 2nd pregnancy than the 1st. Just one more month, im into my third trimester. I so much agree with my husband's friend Eugenia that pregnancy isnt fun at all and we totally cant understand why some people could even enjoy. Yes, it is nice to feel the movement of the baby but the process of feeling clumsy and ugly once more has come back. I cant fit into my tops and even shorts. My tummy seemed bigger this time round. My last pregnancy , the bump can only be seen when im 5 months. Now , i could see the growth since the 3rd month onwards.
Anyway, im expecting another baby girl. Was a little disappointed but im feeling ok now because i wont need to buy new clothings. It can be pass down from jessica. Most important it is healthy. Im going for my detailed scan later at this gynae, supposed to specialise in detecting abnormal babies, although my triple test results were the risk was low. William prefers the safer way.
Yesterday, william, jessica and i went to catch the Barney show at expo. The one that we've been telling Jessica about for the past whole month.

everyone is waiting for their turn to snap the poster

she wants to wear her costume

we didnt want to buy more soft toys , in the end.... we bought the BJ and baby Bop
i enjoyed the show, i thought it was better tha the disney on ice.
I havent been taking pictures of myself, so cant update on my baby bump.

2010-07-27T19:09:00.001+08:00

Being a computer idoit. I have no idea why i can add a new post. I had to go through my draft pages just to add a new post. It takes ages to load at at the bottom it is written as error on page. If anyone could tell me any solution.
I want to write about my pregnancy just to remember all had happened, what i have gone through and im only on my 3rd month. i have 2 more trimester to go.
My first pregnancy was easy, very easy and no problem at all. My checkup started on my 2nd month pregnancy and i only needed to visit the doc once a month. No stretch marks, no water retention. Just very bad memory and i believe my memory isnt that good in the first place.
My 2nd pregnancy, i visited the doc on my 1st month too. It was good and expecting to visit the doc a month later. We were very happy to hear the baby's heartbeat and looking forward to its growth. One day, on the 24th of june i had some bleeding. It was more like fresh blood and i panicked. I changed my plans for the day. Called william and he joined me at the clinic. The doc did a check and doesnt seemed worried enough to admit me when william asked him if i needed to. I insisted on going home. No one likes to stay in a hospital mah....
That same night, i ate something wrong and my bleeding hasnt stop. Not very heavy flow, but bleeding. William asked to take me to the hospital. I didnt dare to refuse because he wanted me to stay earlier on in the clinic.
Went to Gleneagles A&E, the nurses made a call to my gynae and he came. He decided to admit me. That incident i stayed for 2 nights. Everything was good after. William and i celebrated our bdays and anniversary too. On the actual day of my bday, we went to universal too.
About 1 week after, on a thursday after Jessica's shicida class. I went to ION, jalan jalan a bit. The only thing that happened was, jessica wanted to poo poo, i carried her all the way to the toilet. My mom and i wanted to go to the car to get the stroller , just as we reached the carpark. I felt a FLOW , almost all the way to my ankle and i was wearing a pair of jeans.
I told my mom i cant walk anymore to the car. I sat at one of the pillar at the carpark till the car came. I called the clinic and went there straightaway. I thought i lost the baby, i really did. I had to sit on a wheelchair to get to the clinic. Totally cant walk. Everything was like leaking out. Scary.............
Doc admitted me again and i stayed for 2 nights once more. The only thing i enjoyed in the hospital was the food. I dont know why i thought the food was delicious, maybe its the morning sickness that changed my taste.
I had to lie in bed till the blood stopped, cant even go to the toilet. everything was done on the bed. On the day of my discharge, William took me to great world city's crystal jade for lunch. We parked near the lift and the restaurant was near the lift. Basically i didnt walk much. Half way through lunch, i felt a flow AGAIN.......................................
Shit..................
i struggled to the carpark, couldnt find the car..................
we were on the wrong floor. I sat at the bars to wait for william. This time round we didnt go back to the clinic and it was a sat. We came home. I lied in bed like im in the hospital, i isolated myself till bleeding stopped.
A week after, it is my doc appt again. everything was smooth again. I sat in the car, eating my biscuit. Then, the FLOW came again. This time round i was sitting down somemore................... OMG...
When we reached the clinic, we had to valet and the nurse waited for me with the wheelchair. When i came down the car. The gleneagles stuff looked at my direction. This girl looked fine mah, why need a wheelchair. Next thing was, they saw blood coming down my legs. Like those TV drama la, both legs somemore..
Once more, i was admitted again and to stay in bed till bleeding stopssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss........
faintz. shake head. Well it isnt the end yet.. I had another incident at home, not as heavy as those i mentioned. Another week later , on a monday i went to see my doc again. 2weeks appt date, i couldnt wait. One week later i went back. He didnt want to admit me, but i looked too pale. He said i needed more blood, blood transfusion. I stayed for a night and prayed not to return ANYMORE.
Everytime when the weekend is near, all of us will be phobia. For almost all the weekends, esp sat, incidents happen. This week we manage to pass it. Ive been getting countless jabs. These jabs are really painful and now i needed to take them twice a week. It is painful because it is oil based. The needle has to go all the way into my butt. Worse than epidural. From the 2nd admission onwards, i get jabs . each stay about 3-4 jabs.. Think all in all, about 15 jabs in total, for now exclusing the blood tranfusion needle.
With the jabs and my hormones, i have colic problem too. My doc says that my 1st pregnancy is too smooth and boring. this, overly exciting until he dont want to see me so often. For ur info, baby is good, growth is good. its more of the mommy's problem. what to do? sacrifices from a mommy. I have to wait for another month for my pregnancy to be stable, im really looking forward to that..

sigh...

baby, baby. u must stay strong cos mommy is willing to go through all these. We must be strong and u must be healthy.

2010-06-23T11:35:00.000+08:00

After purchasing the iphone, i barely use my camera for photo taking. I have been loading my pictures directly from my phone to FB. Iphone is a fantastic invention . Been having lots of mood swings recently and im learning to cope with it. From my research, it is part of the hormones change and that is because i am expecting no. 2.. I certainly hope it will be a boy, because that is what william would want. It will be perfect to have a girl and a boy. Ive gotten my girl though.
I would think that by thinking too much resulted in my mood swing. Afterall, my helper is leaving in October and she cant stay longer as she has home matters to settle which is all the same for all helpers. I had to let her leave earlier even her contract ends in Feb next year. I need time to get use to new helper and train her too. SO too much thoughts for now. I know William is trying to reduce my worries, he managed to get a confinement nanny that is willing to work during CNY. Btw, baby due on CNY period. But, i have to say women can think alot and im one of them.
How is Jessica able to cope, her school term starts in Jan too. Everything, all together. Gotta take 1 step at a time.
Meanwhile, i will continue to model till my tummy starts bloating. The last time, i could only see the bumps at 5 months. Hopefully its about the same and a smooth one. God bless....

Oh, its our wedding anniversary today.

I love you dear and nothing has change since the day we went. From courtship to marriage to parenting and parents of No. 2 soon. I cant say we went through alot, but definately not little. We grew together and understood each other better. I love our marriage and i will continue to cherish it. Hope you feel the same too. Hugs..

better surprise me with some delicious food later. haha

2010-05-16T18:29:00.000+08:00

Last night was a terrible night with Jessica. She KEPT crying, dreaming... I couldnt even sleep. Such bad nights, remind me that MOTHERHOOD isnt easy and how much more i can take. If tonight she is going to behave like this again, i can DIE. She slept rather late last night because my friends stayed till late so she got excited and we came home late after our trip to the airport.
Before 12am, she cried 3 times. I went to bed at about 2 plus and she never really stop crying, so i turn on the cartoon to ease her.
She watched till 3am, and refused to sleep. I couldnt take it anymore so i walked her to my mom's room, so sleep with her instead. I went back to bed, try to sleep again, i heard her crying. Feeling tired and worried at the same time, knowing that she is calling for mommy downstairs. But i was really tired.
While i was lying on my bed, i felt that i couldnt sleep. I wasnt sure if i even slept, after tossing and turning, i saw sunlight coming through the curtains. I think i didnt sleep man.
Woke up at 9 plus, came down. Went parkway with friends again, have lunch and all. Came back at about 4pm and havent taken any nap till now. Feeling high! and hopefullyyyyyyyy, i can sleep by 10pm without any disturbance through the night. I pray.......... Amen

(eyes getting smaller n smaller ), i shall remember this day and when Jessica is a grown up, i make her read this!! Jessica darling, you are not a easy baby! I hope when u read this, you are a successful, good person in your life.
Love you, mommy

2010-05-11T18:01:00.001+08:00

My KFC tvc is out. Lots of people doesnt understand the storyline. Me either. But i think i looked quite ok as a bride once more. I managed to video it down with my webcam, but sort of missed out the very first bit.
Just on Sunday there was an article about me on Shin min (chinese paper). A reporter called me after viewing my interview with Razor Tv, for mother's day. I liked the video and i thought Jessica looks cute too. William didn't like to be on the video esp when they filmed our wedding pic, and saw his face. well....
I do enjoy being a mother and there is always an obstacle one after another. Just 2 days ago, Jessica could'nt sleep well. She kept saying "Ulcer, Ulcer". Which we thought there was an ulcer. After i used a torchlight to examine her mouth, i dont see any and suspected it to be teething problem.
Just last night, she didnt sleep well again and i suddenly remembered i have some painkiller for the use of teething too, so i injected it into her mouth, so she managed to sleep slightly better. Same goes for me.
Her sleeping problem gave William a bad night and he didnt sleep a wink and couldnt work. Sorry about it, and there is nothing i can do about it. I dont remember myself of my teething problem, i cant explain.
This teething thing, resulted her not sleeping well and eating well. Fortunately, she can drink her milk. Thank God! i was worried about her health. This morning took her to the doc at Parkway and indeed i guess correctly about her symptoms. Doc says this could last up to 2 weeks. Oh dear! I bought some baby food, puree food, fruits gel for her. I can see that she really wants to eat but she didnt dare to. Poor baby. Mommy is here for you, always!

Cant wait for this to end.

2010-04-29T18:02:00.002+08:00

Mother's day is coming and i have gotten my mom's present. Have you? I dont think i will be getting one, Jessica is still too young to even make one for me. I shall wait and till then i will have more grey hair. Dont remind me of it. haha
For the beginning of the month, i did 2 events and a KFC commercial which is showing now on tv. Many people cant understand the advert well, and they thought after my wedding i went clubbing. To correct them, the girl who was at the party wasnt ME. I was just the bride and i dont know who that 3 years old is supposed to be. A flower girl?
Since the opening of the Universal studio, i went there 3 times. To make good use of my annual PASS, i told almost all my friends that they should ask me along, during the non block out dates esp. Both William and I have the annual pass, Jessica can enter in for FREE till she is 4. Good deal! The last time i went with william while he is on leave and we managed to play most adult's rides before the thunder came. We had fun, just like the good old times when we are dating. sweet!
Jessica is beginning to speak more and i get to understand her better. She just recovered from a bad flu that was passed on to every single one of us. The maid, me and william. Until today i dont feel that i am totally recovered. My eardrums seemed stuck. Jessica is enjoying Shicida more than before and she looks at the flashcards now. Im veyr happy about it, but she loves to climb the tables. Im afraid some mothers may not like that. What to do? haizzz, it is getting tougher to control her. She is a little chilli padi. not afraid of pain. Last weekend, he palm went into the lift's door and i had to pull it out. She cried for a short while and resume running. All of us got frightened and didnt dare to stay longer.
Well, we are gng to Sydney againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
yes, again. this time round with Daddy and that makes me very happy. I like to have the 3 of us together although most of the time daddy cannot handle her. There were a few moments he almost slap her. Luckily he didnt, i think she will fly.
Catching the Iron man2 tonight with William and i shall update the ratings.

A trip to Universal studio, just Jessica and mommy

My latest agent picture with DTZ.

2010-03-21T12:15:00.000+08:00

Finally i can come back to my blog because i just gotten my new laptop and a camera!!!! so i can continue to do my updates. I love my new computer.. it is much thinner and lighter without the CD drive. I dunno the model but it is acer. I love the color. Looks like dark bronze. No time to blog further cos i need to go out for lunch but im sure i will be back soon.

2010-02-10T10:19:00.000+08:00

Been lazy to upload pics from Sydney , that's why i haven't been updating my blog. There were too many pictures and much more words to describe. I have nothing much on today so i can take my time then clean up the house for Chinese new year.

This was taken on the 1st few days, can't recall when. Weather was pretty cooling. We were at darling harbor. One of our frequent place.

Finding a spot to grab some Mcdonalds

Found our spot and there were mosquitoes (sand flies) Jessica got bitten. "BORING!'

Few days later , we were back at Darling Harbor to Sydney Aquarium and we saw a baby T-Rex. It looks so real. The guy in it, could control the Dino body like the Dinos we saw in Jurassic park.

I bought Jessica a Donut while the other 2 cousins were asleep and i remembered that my sister were eating the Oporto's chicken wings although i didnt snap the pics.

The kids proceed to this empty space to play. Jessica didn't dare to join in as she hates it when the sand enter her shoes or stepping on the grass.

Owen taking a dump with his portable potty.

back to the aquarium after .

At the end of the day, we took the train back cos my sister's car was sent to the mechanics.

One hot afternoon and i gave them a cooling bath. They love it.

From the kids playroom's balcony, the left side

the right side

Taking a stroll.

That afternoon, we went to macquarie centre to catch some performance.

little chairs, with little people.

talking and eating their donuts

close up. my mom tied her hair for her.

Over the weekends, we went to BONDI beach. Kids were sleeping when we arrived. Except Owen who was running all over the place

Beautiful View

Picnic, with fried rice. Oporto's chicken wings again

The other side of the beach.

she loves the bars and she can climb them rather well now.

My bao bei

Owen as one of the transformers

we were at Bondi Junction

Running again. I remembers i bought more clothes for her from Target

2010-01-05T17:43:00.000+08:00

Preparation of her birthday. Dressed up in purple, top from GAP. That necklace belongs to mommy.

Location : King Albert Park. Jessica sitting on her throne.

She didnt allow anyone else to sit except herself. She seem to know that, it is especially for her. So cute. It seems like yesterday when she was born with zero knowledge and now she knows alot more.

There were about 12-15 kids. Even i lost count. That lady from Mac told me that there isnt much games for the kids to play as they were quite young. So we had just 1 game and most of them didnt know what was going on. So funny!
After the game, its MAKAN time. I think the adults enjoyed the food more than the kids. Kids just walk all over to destroy!

Jessica can never look straight into the camera! haiz... I love the birthday cake. I thought it was very cute. William find it a little small. Its 1.5kg. If we had more time, we could customise it with a more complicated design. Patissier needed more than 2 weeks . Furthermore they are close on the 1st january and we needed it on the 2nd. So this is the best we can get. It was DELICIOUS!

Close up

I didnt get to take any pictures with my daughter so we gotta do it at home. the party lasted 1.5 hours so everything was in a RUSH.

1 of her birthday present from aunty cadence. So cute. I always wanted a bumble bee suit but i cant find a nice one for her.

Next day, daddy and i brough out . We had dinner ION at some lousy serviced restaurant. We waited 45 mins for the food. Thankfully Jessica did sit through, until the food came and go. I was very happy with her performace.

Another birthday present - pink long dress

2009-12-30T11:06:00.000+08:00

Christmas is over and now the focus is on Jessica's birthday. Nothing much to plan for or prepare, we will leave everything to Mcdonald's. We are holding a party for her at King albert's mac. I hope she will enjoy herself and have fun. I do agree that she has a good life. I must say she is blessed to be born in a family that could provide. i didnt have what she had, that i am very sure. By the age of 2, she went to Australia twice and 3rd time soon. Once to perth and the other to Sydney. Even William hasnt been to these 2 although he dont seem very interested as the shops close very early. Oh Thailand twice and countless times to Malaysia-Genting Highlands.
We had a Christmas party on the 26th and it was overwhelming. They were alot of people in the house and the house isnt big enough. haha. She received lots presents and she enjoys tearing the wrappers. I hope the birthday will go smoothly and her birthday cake from Patisseur wont be late like Bakerzin last yr- super late and the beehive looks more pink than yellow. Terrible.
We had quite a hard time to look for her cake this year and William wants a nice one. we couldve order it from various choices of cake shop. Patisseur need more than 2 weeks in advance to customise a constructed cake. So in the end we order a simple one that they ccan produce in such short term notice.

Log cake from Swensens

Games for kids

no time for mommy to get a snap cos most of the time she is the photographer

about 3 weeks ago i brought her to watch the princess n the frog. She sat 3/4 of the show. thats good enough

2009-12-14T10:06:00.000+08:00

Sydney?

William asked me whether i want to go Sydney to visit my mom and sis. I think he knows that i do miss them and that is very sweet of him to be so thoughtful. It would be good to fly there but not sure would that be too much expenditure this few weeks. My xmas present, delicious meals.. Jessica's presents etc.. If i will to go Sydney, we will arrange for our maid to home and visit, since Jessica and I wont be around meaning there wont be much chores for her to do.

I need to find out on Jessica's Shicida school, cos we paid for the next term and i wont want to waste any classes in Shicida cos they are expensive. Last Saturday i went to one of Jessica's classmate place, cos he and his mom is leaving for China so we wont be seeing them. Maggie (1 of the parents) invited me to join their gathering at Coasta Del Sol. I had fun, so did Jessica. They are a bunch of fun loving parents, esp Fiona. She is so funny.

If we stop her class, i wont get to see them and that will be a waste . It is more fun to have ppl thhat you know in ur "daughter's" class. I better call the school again for more information and advise. Their lines are so busy. Good business, Big business.

2009-12-09T15:07:00.002+08:00

SIBEI sianz.... they picked someone else instead. the job is off for me.... sianzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......................................................................................................... this whole yr just isnt good for me. you wont believe it.... sianzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ah.. lesser layer also cannot.. nevermind la.. i ren ming le.

2009-12-09T09:30:00.000+08:00

This hair dye tvc does have alot of problems. Now they wanted to layer my hair and my agency is afraid that, the layer might have my hair look fizzy esp after the hairdye when it is such a light color. So he suggested "very minimal" layer otherwise dont do this job. Prior to that he asked me whether i mind layering, i said ok, cos i seldom cut my hair and my hair is the very flat type. Keep kept asking me " are you sure, are u sure?" that frightens me a little. So i told him to decide for me as long as he thinks it is the best for me. So, i am at same point again. See whether the cilent side accept my terms and vice versa.
To reach that color effect, or even close to it, no need to bleach meh? can that be done? dont know got cheat me anot.

hmmm......
nothing much has happen these days and once again i am lazy to load pics. I am into the shopping mood. This xmas season makes me feel like spending compared to the last ones...

2009-12-08T17:42:00.002+08:00

I went for a casting 2 weeks ago for a hair dye tvc. I asked for brown just in case i get picked. So i was shortlisted for it and agency gotta discuss the rates with me again and i accepted it. Until today i get to know the color. It is the one on the left. The other girl gotten the one on the right, Both of us preferred each other's color, but due to different hair styles, we cant exchange. They wanted my straight hair and her curly hair. So i accepted the terms on this beige.

This is something really different and ive never tried. mostly likely i have to dye it back to a darker color somehow, because most job prefers dark,(nautral) hair. Recently, ive been losing alot of hair, and this is making me feel so stressed. I dont want to end up being bald or very little hair. William always say i eat too salty. Cant help it, it is a bad habit, i know. Hopefully i can get a confirmation soon on this job and hopefully it is shown in spore, so i can see the final result. William sprained his feet yesterday at a football match w his west side friends, so i have to pick him up later and send him to a doc.

2009-12-06T20:32:00.002+08:00

Just sent my mom to the airport. The plane will be taking off in about 10 mins time. 830pm. She is offered for a free upgrade to business class, which is a good deal esp for a 8 hours flight. When she walked into the customs, Jessica started to cry. Just before she walked in, i was explaining to her that Popo is taking a plane, flying to Sydney and we will fly there next time to see Korkor Owen and Jie jie Melanie. I think she understood the part where Popo is taking the plane without her and the rest of us, which explains why she cried so much and loudly. She was so sad, i could hear it through her cry. I became sad too, as if my mother would be away for 10 years. She was so so so sad......
i teared.
Popo was waving on her way in and im sure she felt sad to see Jessica cry too. She called up soon to tell me. My mom has been staying with us for a few nights so naturally Jessica became close to her too. Jessica must be wondering why Popo has been packing her bags. Im happy to see my mom getting excited and full of happiness. First of all, she loves that place and she can get to see her other daughter and grandchildren, esp Owen. So i am happy for her although i will miss her company. We see each other alot , very often. For now, i am the only one left in Singapore out of my initially family of 3. My mom, my sis and myself. To think about it, it isnt good that my sis has to be there, cos one of us has to be alone in somewhere. So Jie jie, please come back soon. Take it as, your kids need to come back for Singapore's education.
I hope i can get more jobs so i can have the $ to fly over soon , "when" the weather is cool too.

2009-12-02T17:02:00.004+08:00

So sianzzz. everyone is moving to sydney to stay. My mom will be joining my sister for a long while. She is flying off this Sunday. Im happy for her that she wont be living alone like she is in Singapore. Cos i have my own place, those who are married should roughly understand why she has to live alone. I felt bad at times when she comes over and gotta drive herself back home, but this isnt within my control cos my in laws are not staying w me and i cant make such request to William too mah. Maybe when she is older and i hope she will live till old age.
It is good and quite a relief for me that my sis can watch my mom's back. Very often i will worry she might meet accidents at home. A bad fall and all.. She is totally alone and i cant really afford her to have a maid, furthermore her place is so small that she dont really need a maid to clean up.
It isnt easy to live with my mom, she has her weird characte, she's like was our MOM and DAD since i was primary one and my sis secondary one. So in many ways, she wants to be in charge and im sure my husband couldnt stand it.
What i hope for now, is to be able to fly over soon to meet them and i definately want to bring Jessica along so she can see her cousins again. I love seeing them play and interact, even though she is the smaller one who might get bullied. Cant go in January cos it should be hot and it is Jessica's birthday and i wanna have a party for her, probably at KFC or Mcdonald's? havent decide on that yet.
I guess Feb or March should be good. Provided i dont get pregnant or etc. Her air ticket will be ex by then cos she's 2 then.
well.. mommy... you have fun and take good care of urself. Although i screamed at you alot cos u drove me mad, i dont mean it and whenever you are around i feel safe. EVEN till now.. HUGS

More on ChiangMai

Dinner at the night market, wakable distance from the hotel. The driver dropped us there and we walked back on our own. Lotsa things to see. I wanted to do a roadside mannicure but no time and everyone was so tired after all the walkings.

Night market

The seafood restaurant. You see the Jessica and Siti in the middle of the pic.

While waiting for the food, and Jessica cant wait so we had to let her walk around. Siti didnt follow her closely enough and got scolded by William. He says the Ang mos here like little kids. Very dangerous! we were also afraid she might get kidnapped. Never take any chances! But this girl isnt afraid of anything or anyone.

Food arrived. Cream n cheese lobster and i didnt take picture of the rest of the food cos we were so busy n hungry eating.

Night view of the hotel, this is the restarant where we had our breakfast. They serve parma ham. I had alot of it.

Taken from the lobby.Lighted candles

Along the shop and lobby, Siti chasing after Jessica

Self taken

Not properly taken. Taken by a working staff at the hotel. Sensitive mode on, so it is difficult to explain that their hands shouldnt move.

Third Day

Wrong mode on the camera again, so the picture is over exposed? This is a landslide pic on the mountain, where the road is closed so we had to walk about 300m. Btw this is another mountain and i dunno the name too. Their names are difficult to remember.

After reaching the northern most of thailand, we reached the highest spot too!

group pic

This girl can really walk and we walked through the tracks and steps on the mountain

She loves elephants, so she had to stop to look at almost everyone of them. There are alot of elephant statues in thailand.

More steps

Close up

about 10 mins from the tracking place. we arrive at another temple, in respect to the king n queen

Another garden

It feels like a little fairyland where peter pan and tinklebell lives

3 generations

Drinking the water

I was at the other spot, wanting to drink the water then i realised that there were black particles inside. haha. lucky never drink

We reached the waterfall. This is the 1st time we gone so close to wait and getting wet.

It was cold too.

climbed through the rocks to take a pic

Mommy was so tired that she NUA at the hotel w a cigarette

In the middle we went for our spa massage, then dinner along the pond near some garden again. It is beautiful. I think chiangmai is a good place for sight seeing

The expensive apple juice at the airport.

Chiangmai trip no.2

Changi Airport, Jessica was looking at the balls.

Arrived at Chedi Hotel, waiting to check in.

My mom relaxing although she was only sitting at the lobby.

Simple, delicious simple "local" food and cheap. We enjoyed the fried chicken and pork ribs. The rest like the mashed brinjal, we dont know how to enjoy. Taste a little burnt.

At the temple, up on the mountain. Doi Suthep. I didnt take much pictures of the hotel rooms cos this is the 2nd time we stayed there.

Group picture. William, me, my mom, our maid and little Jessica. William's parents couldnt come otherwise it would have been a bigger group.

My mom praying to her meditation buddha. Everyone will have their own type of buddha, depending on the day , month and time they are born.

Another group pic, take at the entrance of the temple.

random pic, taken by my mom

After our temple trip, we headed off to Chiangmai zoo so that Jessica could see her favourite animal - elephant! and we are hoping to see the baby panda which we failed to see the last time cos the mother and and baby is seperated from the public , as the baby panda is VERY precious! and rather rare to be born in another country.

paid 20 baht to get the bananas to feed the elephant. Jessica is not as afraid as the last time.

We were very lucky to catch the father panda eating in action. It took him about 10-15 mins to finish up the bamboos , then poo then sleep. Good life with air condition too.

Back at the hotel to change and out for dinner again.

Went to this gallery restaurant where alot of caucasians go. The view was beautiful, along the lake and you can see boats. This pic wasnt taken very well, cos i used the sensitive mode and the boat moved too quickly for me to snap.

Jessica was trying to hide her swollen eye

Day 2

We went to the hot spring. Bought some quail eggs from the aunty 20 baht to cook. According to the tour guide, Mr. Montree who is a very nice chap said it is 90 degrees. Jessica was helping me to hold the stick and i was so afriad that she will run towards it.

the aunties with the eggs.

the amount of steam

Jessica getting tummy ache. We were also worried that she might have constipation cos we went thru that before, My mom was to pull it out. Ouch! Luckily this time round i keep feeding her w juice.

My mom soaking her feed in the hot spring water

jessica's "pretty face" pose

Round 2 of tummy ache, within 15 mins after her 1st round, at the hot spring

The mini bus we chartered throughout the whole trip. Very comfortable. It has a tv too, so jessica could watch her Barney and the wild cartoon while our long trip, 4hrs up and down. Total 8 hours?

the famous "white temple" and we dont know the name. wahaha. It is very beautiful la.

mom and daughter

our little family. As you can see the scary handsssss behind. according to Montree ( tour guide) says, that portion is supposed to be "hell" after u crossed the bridge, its the heaven. ( the temple).

Close up of the hands. Can you see the red nail, pointing the middle finger

another "pretty" face. My mom kept asking her to pose like this throughout the trip. I like her minnie shirt very much. I bought it from HK disneyland. I thought she looks like minnie, the shape of her face. round round....

Heavenly? you should fly there and see this, but be prepare for the car ride.

We took a while to find out what this building is for...

Its a pretty GOLD toilet. Take a close look- you can see MEN and WOMEN. I didnt realise until william told me about it. Oh anyway we cant use the camera inside the temple. But the paintings were fantastic and real! It isnt complete yet.

the SINS

Feels EERIE

We continued our car ride to the golden triangle.

that is why it is called the triangle.

my lover. heehee

The buddha at golden triangle. they have alot of temples and buddhas everywhere

Yep, we reach the northern most of thailand where we can see the customs of myanmar

Our bunny

Cant believe that Jessica can get so many bites over the last 2 weeks. Exactly a week ago, while she is waiting for us to prepare to leave the house, she was bitten by sandflies. 7 bites in total. We thought it was ok just apply some mopiko to reduce the itch. Who knows in the middle of the night she started complaining and couldnt sleep peacefully as the bites were all over. We had to bring her to East Shore to see a doc. She cried so loudly and struggling. She is pretty strong, makes it difficult to hold her down.

Yesterday afternoon, she was bitten by some insect at a market near my mom's place. As you can see her eye in the picture, It was infected. The best thing is we are leaving tomorrow for Chiangmai. The paediatrician says she cant fly........................

*faintZ

and im sure we cant get any refund. it was too last minute and we still need to pay for the hotel. We booked 2 rooms as my mom and my maid are coming along. I was so looking forward to this trip. Honestly, i still want to go. I will feel stupid if i were to pay and not get anything in return. Oh my! i hope she gets better along the way. This may happen to anyone and i got it twice in my life during my childhood days. My sis 's daughter too, melanie. So im quite sure it isnt as bad as the doc said. Total damage from all the insects was $500. 1 visit to East Shore, 1 visit to Mount Elizabeth and 1 to kinder clinic. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

2009-11-12T01:06:00.000+08:00

Jessica has been playful and really naughty. She can manipulate all of us. Haha, being the only baby in the family what else can we do but to love her and pamper her. Sometimes the things she does can be so funny, silly and naughty yet it doesnt reach a stage where i would wanna give her a big scolding.
I really enjoyed motherhood. Maybe because she is more like my playmate? a toy? haha. I dont torture her like a soft toy la. Upon seeing her cheeks and round tummy. I just cant resist. Everyday she is learning something new. She is 22 months, 4 days old. She cant speak well but we sort of understand what she wants, through her speech and body language.
Recently, ive been listening to alot of Gfs relationship.Some are rather complicated and some they made it complicated. So what kind of guy is the most perfect guy? When i was young like 16, 17, my mom always tells me that i shouldnt fall in love, get into a relationship. Why not leave the pain till later when you are older? Now that im married and many people asked me why i want to be married at such young age. The answer is i found the right guy that i want to spend my life with. Not that ive experienced alot of BGR, but quite a few though. Through this experiences allow me to know what kind of guy i am looking for and i am glad that ive found my husband. He cares about the family, he doesnt expect much from me as long as i take great care of the baby. He comes home every night for dinner and i will make dinner except certain nights he prefers to meet his friend which is perfectly fine with me cos i get my freedom too. He allows me to go clubbing, go overseas with my friends, taking a 3 weeks break from home to visit my sis in Sydney. Very flexible,
My previous relationships before i met William didnt give me that much freedom. Same goes for me, i am not the jealous type who hated her BF or husband to look at other women. I dont mind looking at pretty girls too.
I think as a girl, if your current bf doesnt treat you well and you find it hard to walk out of a relationship. You should never be afraid to be alone. You never know what it beyond that circle. Even if you hang on to the relationship, it is difficult to sustain especially when something is missing from the relationship. Compromising may be difficult but you got to try. If you cant, just probably "try" to get out of it?
Till today i still hope that my marriage will be a strong and everlasting one. So another 5 days more to go and i will be heading back to Chiangmai. It is so peaceful and im so looking forward to it. After this trip, what else to look forward for? probably plan a christmas party for kids?

2009-11-10T22:50:00.001+08:00

Finally, ive decided to change my blog a little bit. Been lazy to do something to it. Please be patient with me while i try to figure out how i can make it more interesting. Thanks. cheers

2009-11-09T22:30:00.002+08:00

Looking forward to the Chiangmai trip next wednesday! Spa and massages and the beautiful hotel, Chedi.

2009-11-01T22:25:00.011+08:00

My 1st halloween... it was fun... lotsa waiting ..... but.. its the company that made it worthwhile

So, this is my "costume" not exactly one. I dont think renting a costume is worth the money if i am only gng to wear it once. So i got myself something that i could wear many more times without much purpose. My character was "Morticia" Addam's family, the wife. But i think i kinda look like corpse bride if i had black lipstick on with a gown? I bought a set of white gloves and end up not using it cos it doesnt match. The hat on my head belongs to Cadence and i borrowed it off her. I wanted to buy red contact lenses but it was difficult to find. Once i found them, they cost $60. SIAO! Red contacts, no chance at all to use it. William will probably run away.. haha.. Next, i couldnt find red eye shadow for my eye. So i used my lipstick. I thought that was innovative and saved cost! fantastic! Managed to get white face.

These are the terrorist! my maid said one of them looked like the one from Indonesia who got hanged recently. I cant spell his name.. i will find out more on that

That's tigger. It must be hot in there. Luckily i didnt wear my stockings n passed them to Wan Ping. She who is supposed to be the sailor girl, didnt even wear her top n hat at all... what a waste. I asked for her permission to have the same makeup as me. She refused! so...

This one, u should know. May was the "hot" cop

We saw this fellow and i thought the poster looked damn real!

PIKACHU.. he is too shy to show his face

Unfit popeye.. and LAO HONG arms

I like this. But i dun wish to see them on normal days other than last night. That was exactly what i told them too.

More hotties

My fine ticket.
Unfortunately, we waited for like 2 over house. When we were near the entrance, the sign "full house" was displayed outside and the bouncer came out n tell us. You can wait till 230am, by then if u r lucky, you should be able to come in. The 3 of us looked at each other. We finally gave up and we went to Attica. Paid $28 and the drink sucks. No alcohol and i am so not willing to buy another one. The songs were a little disappointing.. i was hoping for pussycat dolls, poker face songs.. non appeared. Wan Ping left early and we proceed to Attica 2. Just as bad, techno... not my type but no choice. Everywhere is crowded. Ive learnt my lesson well enough. Next yr, if i wanna club again. Go at 8pm, sure can go in. Choose the right venue...... or celebrate at some KTV, fren;s house, watsoever..

What i enjoyed most was the company. We joked throughout with other ppl's costumes.. Observing the environment. I think it will be fun too, if we just walk around streets. I hope william will join in next yr and jessica can have fun too...

Toilet killer

Last but not least. @ hot cops. May saw this cop and said "she's hot!" i wanna take a pic w her. After i loaded the pic. I thought this girl looked familiar although she's w shades. She is my friend lor. WeiLing... she is one of the Singtel grid girl.. SEXY...

2009-10-28T00:40:00.003+08:00

I was very happy about my trip esp my harvest from shopping. Then, some things irritate me. i cant stop myself from feeling this way and i hope i forget it fast. I felt being betrayed by friends. Maybe they are not exactly my friends when i sort of categorise them as friends ( being silly)? I dunno.. will others feel the same way as me if they were in my shoes? Was i being nice and then hammered? Am i the bad person here now? when ive done nothing. I dont wish to spell everything out but i dun feel good in this. Its just like , will u steal someone's husband when u knew he was married? This is not the best example and probably a lousy one. If i were the person, i wont even go near the guy after knowing he is married and thats my moral. So dont ask me , what u should do and whether i agree with ur decision cos u decide urself whether that will hurt the friendship. Ultimately, i will feel the result. Dont bother me about it. I am disappointed from both side. If things were to explained in a better manner, wont feel this way.

2009-10-27T15:19:00.012+08:00

HONG KONG! ci dong xi, mai dong xi

Hong Kong trip was fantastic. One of the best trips ive gone even though it is a nearby country. We travelled on Jetstar. Luckily it was a 3 hour plus ride so we didnt suffer much. We were too tired to take pics until lunch time. We decided to have lunch at this modern toilet restaurant that we found on the "survival kit" where we took it from the airport. It has alot of information on where we can go. Ive seen someone's pic on this place and i found it rather interesting so we all agreed to visit this place. It is slightly more expensive than those chan ting but afforable. Food, not bad la. I thought the korean pork was the nicest.

I like the decor. Unfortuately, i was too hungry to take more pics on it. Priscelia has more pictures of this place.

Oh i havent introduce my frens.

This ramen may look nice, but it doesnt. If u r visiting this place, pls dun eat this! choose something else. Oh they have this "poo" ice cream. We did try but the pic wasnt in my camera, so too bad.

A brief intro of them. Picture from the Top, left. The Girl is white is Priscelia, follow by Wan Ping then Cadence aka May. This picture is them eating the "cool" noodles we found in mong kok centre. It is damn delicious. 3 items $1.50. After that packet. We ta bao 6 packets to the hotel for supper. In hong Kong , it is a must to taste XU LIU SHAN. Everytime i visit the country, i will make it a point to eat something there. I love the little rice ball. SO chewy

Straight after my dessert, we have dinner. Yes! i couldnt believe it too. We saw this little noodle, congee place that seemed pretty crowded, so we decided to try. To our surprise, it is very good. The congee is better than many other congee we tasted. The food and dessert place is very near our shopping place. So we went back to shop again after dinner! Oh other than congee, the wanton is fantastic too. OHhhhh i am missing it now. The color may look plain, but it is definately better than what it looks like. So That was our 1st day of shopping. Its just cadence and mine, not including the other 2 cos we shared the room.

Next thing was i tried the dress so i can dress up as MInnie to disneyland. In japan you can find many ppl who dressed up as characters. The youngs n the olds. I specially brought my minnie ears i got from Japan.

It cadence's turn. All 4 of us bought the same slipper with a huge black flower. Priscelia saw it selling here at $25, we bought it under $10, maybe $8? I can see that Cadence is very happy and im happy too. Oh i dont care i must write about this. Otherwise i might forget abt this when im old and reading this blog. This girl ah.....

When we reach the room and trying to open the door, she suddenly throw all the shopping things onto the floor and ran into WP's room and shouted. I want to ............"P....S".........." i think the whole level can hear her and it was about 11 plus at night. So hilarious! Dun scold me for writting this.

2009-10-19T01:01:00.006+08:00

Im feeling excited until i couldnt sleep, cos of the Hong kong trip. This is my 1st trip with friends instead of family, my mom or hubby. Ive yet to pack my luggage, although every sec im thinking about the things to bring. Tomorrow its monday and i have a casting in the morning. Afternoon William and I will go around to search for Jessica's school. He said that he wants register her in his "ex" kindergarten before the queue gets too long. Nowadays kindergarten must book earlier. My sis sent her son to St James and register her daughter like 1.5 yrs earlier. Yes! it is that kiasu. I thought of sending jessica there too, but william disagree due to the distance.

Anyway William is on leave for 2 weeks. Tomorrow onwards will be his 2nd week, without knowing, a week has passed. My flight is at 6 plus in the morning on wed, so basically i wont get to slp on tuesday night. Its worth it.... Haha... Shopping! wanton mee with large prawn fillings!

And again im lazy to post the pictures i took when i went Genting last week. Dont be mistaken! Im not a addicted gambler,but i do play a little. I like the weather and its cheap there. The best of all the hotel was free was it is claimed from my mom's points. So it cheap n good!

I hope my friend will enjoy the trip with us to ease her troubles from her "ex" hubby , we will be going in a group of 4.. I bumped into him today, not exactly him. I saw their son. I glad i didnt really see him in close up as i rather NOT! sickening!

2009-10-16T22:04:00.002+08:00

My previous post was in a mess. But whatever... not as if i am selling my blog. I felt a little moody at this moment after hearing about my close friend's matter, on her family that the couple had to split and that the kid is most innocent. I saw her blog on her kid that she asked him to grow well, i almost cried and imagine what if i am in her position? and both our kids are about the same age?
How would the kid feel when daddy and mommy no longer love each other, or the other party stops loving back? Her story is much more complicated than this. We heard of many failed marriage stories but we always hope that it wont happen to us. But who knows? what might happen next?
This made me realised that i cant expect good things all the time and always be prepared for the worst. I grew up from a broken family and almost never had a father throughout my growth and it saddens me whenever i see my friend being loved by their dad. I really hope this wouldnt happen to Jessica. i love my life the way it is. Being a mom (almost full time), modelling part time, work whenever there is any for extra income and most importantly, spending lots of time with Jessica. I love seeing her grow. Learn new things and be a happy baby.
Mommy loves you very much.

2009-09-28T16:33:00.013+08:00

F1 days.. Must at least take a picture.

Some strange and interesting performance. These people are real. Kinda scary at first. Like corpse bride. you know that movie?

The rest of the people sitting around and wait. It was like a little village filled with tourist. It doesnt feel like Singapore. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Everyone was happy.

What on earth am i doing? Trying to take a picture with my mouth open. This is of the pics i took at the race. I was just too tired to take more. Energy drained away at work. William managed to get 2 padang grandstand tics. The initial plan was for the 2 of us. At the very last min, he received the "PADDOCK" ticket lor. Just one ticket, so he went for it. Thats why i ended up w my mom.
Mom sitting in the middle of the Padang field. Picnic F1 is finally over and my work is done for the season. Been working for 4 nights in a row. From redbull party starting on wednesday and the next 3 nights for Ferrari party. It is alot of hard work because we have to withstand long hours standing in tall heels (4 inches). Ladies will understand how painful it is. For the redbull party, it is mainly mingling with the crowd. I didnt take any pictures, was too tired for this. Party started at about 9 and ended at 2am instead of 3am. Lucky. Reporting at 5pm for hair and makeup.
As for the Ferrari party, its 6 hours every night at St james. My job was to teach the Simulator game of the F1 race and giving out freebies. Shoes were killing and im glad it is over. It is just another event that i survived with. The worst that ive done was the Singapore motorshow. 11 days of work. Oh my god! i still remember. I made a few new friends through this.

Me on the left. Stella in the middle. i thought she looked like my other friend. Genecia from MSU. Betty on the right. She is a talent. She can sing, dance, perform, act and model. Im nothing to her!

Jamie here ----> Poor girl who gotten hurt on the 2nd day. Someone pushed a speaker onto her feet. Painful! And yet she is working for 2 events in a day. Young girl, got lotsa energy. I cant. too old for that! Oh . I bought an Osim pen that massages head, for headaches. But im using it for my feet instead. Anything that can make the pain go away. My sweet husband gave me a massage on the 2nd night and i screamed. Thank you , William. ....... naughty boy!

The whole group who worked for this party. In charged were mostly from Malaysia. The tallest model is from korea. I had to say this. She isnt very friendly. Was it their culture or she's just a proud model. Friendly to the crew though. This party is split into 2. So there is another one at Zouk.

2009-08-31T09:22:00.012+08:00

YO YO YO! Im back
( the scariest elephant ride with baby)

Our picture taken on the plane! Jessica is playing with the spoon.

Morning! Been away for a while but everything is fine and im still around. Many things have taken place and i cant remember all of them to blog them here. Been lazy to blog and Jessica can almost take up all of the time. Having a kid takes up alot of time. I cant imagine myself having 2,3,4? I used to think about it even when Jessica hasnt arrive but life's gotta move on and adapt. Not too bad so far, she's been naughtier. Is this the beginning of the "terrible 2"?

William and I brought her to Chiang Mai recently. It was "his" 1st attempt to bring her overseas without a MAID. Haha.. Luckily we survived, not "HE" survived. It wasnt too bad. I always tell him that it shouldnt be too difficult cos ive brought her to sydney for 3 weeks. How difficult can 3 nights be ? Disadvantage is, we cant enjoy our massage peacefully. During my session of the massage, Jessica was screaming loudly for MAMA, along the corridor when im in one of the rooms. I couldnt concentrate on relaxing my mind. Next thing, William brought her into my room. There's goes the massage! You know when you do massage , they have these flowers for you to look at through the hole of the bed? Jessica removed it! Then she came touching me. Cant remember did the both father and daughter sit through the whole session. Overall, not too bad, i enjoyed it too. We stayed Chedi. We love the hotel and massage so we are going back in November. This time round with even more people. My in laws, my mom, william, me, jessica and our MAID!!! so we are damn sure we can enjoy our massage. Dont know how to describe how good it is. It is damn good la!

The hotel room with a baby cot

View of the rooms from the restaurant.

The swimming pool.

The famous temple, but i cant remember the name. :)

The"long neck" people

It may appear like a short 3 nights trip, but we felt longer than that.

As for my work, work's been little. Due to the economy thingy, im affected badly too. Castings been little and im sad about it, meaning more time for Jessica. F1, coming up so i have an event job on the 25-27th. Expected something more on the job but end up getting lesser, bo bian. Make me a little bit sianz.

I was lucky last month, managed to get a starhub printad job without a castings. Such job is like a star dropping off the sky.

Here's the picture, hope i wont take too long to blog the next time. See ya.

2009-06-04T09:52:00.005+08:00

playing at the park

Sleeping on our way there

I thought i will have the time to blog a little when im in sydney, but i really didnt have any time for that. Bringing a kid along takes up alot of time, i needed more time to cover the places i want to go. Normally, i could have visited 2-3 places in a day instead of 1. Furthermore it is just me with a kid, my sister has 2 so at many times we are chasing after then. The kids range from 1 to 3 years old.

For the first few nights, Jessica wasnt able to sleep well. She keeps waking up from her nightmares. She will screamed and cry. I guess, for her staying in other people's house is something new. The cousins were happy to see each other, and they were more than happy to lend their toys. However as days go by, all became impatient. haha

Jessica is very naughty too, she keeps on turning off owen's Dvd player with his cartoon on. At first he will try to explain to Jessica " jessica, you cannot do this, im watching the cartoon".. then later it became "JESSICA" shouting right in front of her face. Serve Jessica right, cos im sure she understands that but she loves to try her luck.

Jessica is closest to Melanie and i can see that she loves her alot. She wants to hug her all the time, and when melanie crys , she will stand by her, find Melanie's favourite bolster and give it to her.

The 2 girls played with each other the most cos Owen has to go to school. So much has taken place over there but its difficult to put into words here. I really enjoyed my trip. Spending time with my sister and mother like we used to be when are were not married with kids yet. Now our kids can play with each other. I love sitting at her 2nd level balcony, eating parma ham with cheese. Parma ham is so much cheaper there, i ate alot of it and missing it right now.

i cant wait to go back again, to be with them..

After this trip, im sure i can look after my daughter wherever i go, esp taking planes. cos i managed to handle her all by myself and im so proud of it. haha. Im having some problems loading the pics, so will post more the next time

2009-05-06T13:06:00.004+08:00

Didnt bother to update my blog for a very long time. I think this is the longest period i disappeared? Anyway i will be going away to sydney on fri for 3 weeks. That is the only thing that really looking out for other than watching jessica grow. Been rather down, kind of disappointed in many things, esp work.

My dubai trip that was confirmed ended up no getting any news from it. $ fly away. I even changed the currency and now made a little loss out of it after changing the currency back. Times are really bad, and im affected. Not much castings which means even lesser chance of getting work. At the same time, i still see a couple of model friends doing quite well. That made me feel worse. Fortunately, last month i had a repeated event's job. Im so glad over it man! And i did a tiny role of 1 line for upcoming channel's 5 show. I think last time, i wont really do it. Now i dont really have a choice.

Ive been feeling so disappointed in work till i went to the bugis temple to ask for a lot. It said something like, i just got to wait and there is nothing much i can do about it. Well, this isnt under my control too, i just didnt have the look there are looking for.

Sometimes i will think, what is it that can make me happy now? I want to get a big assignment then i can relax my nerves for a month or 2? argh

Life is just beyond our control. Actually this is exactly how i felt when i was in sec sch. Sometimes no matter how hard you tried, you still dont see the result. So going away, should make me feel better and probably after this trip, i am at my upmost confident! yes! yes! yes!

Honestly, i really enjoy my work very much. It is so flexible that i can spend alot of time with Jessica. At this time, i spent even more time.

Im feeling better now that i said this, cos it has always been inside me since the recession news started.... i still hope for my dubai trip, damn!!!

My house is current under renovation, so i will be staying at my mom's place.Jessica cant stay in our house cos of the dust and the mess. The speed of the reno is really fast and im pleased with it. i should go back and take some pictures. Just before the renovation, i went genting again with my mom, my sis and all the kids. It was great to see jessica enjoying herself with her cousins who will soon move to sydney. I will definately visit them soon.
My work trip to Dubai has been postponed and im not sure will the job still remain as mine but ive even changed my money to their currency. argh! although my agent say the job is still confirmed but change of dates. I wanna go to see the country and experiencing overseas for shoots and all. But according to them it shall be a week's trip and thats too long to stay away from family. haha, i know its just 6 nights.
I shall wait till end of the month if i am still required to fly there. Looking forward to see this month's Smitten as i did a editorial for them.

2009-01-25T17:06:00.002+08:00

Hi im back again. Its chinese new year eve and i wish everyone a very happy new year, stay happy and that the market will improve soon. :)Jessica is 1 year old since 8th january and she can walk quite well now. she looked better in dresses as she can walk. Since been trying to walk since she was 11 months and now she is walking everyday. I just came back from my taipei trip with my husband. It was fun and its been quite a long while since we travelled together and without the naughty little one. It was easy to travel without her but i missed her dearly. Im glad that im home.

I hope i can take her on another trip probably to visit my sister and i will be able to save on the accomodation to stay in her place. Looks big to accomodate a few more people. I love to go overseas for long trips. For that to happen i will have to hope and get more jobs so i will have more money to go... nowadays very little jobs, even events has been reduced quite alot. Hopefully it will improve, more prints ads, commercial and etc....

Everything is still going ok, nothing much to talk about too. oh yes, maybe the next thing to hope for is the "big sweep". everyone's dream... i have some pics to share but i wont be able to load them now. i will do so in the next few days.

im back from my australia trip with jessica and my mom. it was fun and i enjoyed seeing her experiencing new environment and meeting new people. I felt that she learned alot over the past 6 days. She seemed to understand alot. I like to take her closer to nature. Like going to the seaside, appreciating the natural environment, building interest in animals, trees and etc. We fed to seagulls together, sat at the seaside, on the grass patch. Now, she started looking out for birds. I used to mention birds to her but she couldnt understand until the closer contact to seeing me feeding them.

When we sat near the sea, watching people sitting at the bar having their drinks, we saw wild dolphins. A pair of it. It was spectacular to see wild dolphins than going out to the sea to find them. priceless. We took the free "cat" bus services, train ride to frementle. The weather was cooling and she had to wear thicker clothes. I was surprised to see her allowing me to wear her hat on her,due to the cold weather.

Whatever and whenever we are eating, she will join in too. Either having some rice or bread. Such memory will exist forever. This short period of time i took care of her myself. Carrying her around, sitting in her pram is all about getting along with each other. Other than some of my mom's help. But i wouldnt want her to carry her too much cos her shoulder hurts. I can see that my mom pampers her alot even it hurts at night, sticking her tiger balm plasters here n there.

Before the trip she felt ill and required alot of care. I was so worried that she couldnt recover n i couldnt cancel or postpone due to a promotion rate. So i gave her as much attention as possible. She's my precious and i love her lots. I guess thats what my mom felt too. love u mommy!

2008-10-21T00:14:00.006+08:00

Just found the prints that ive done for starhub. Now then i know what kind of print i was working for

this guy is supposed to be my bf

And thats my feet

These 3 shots took me the whole day's work, more than 12 hours. phew. hope i can get to see some colored ones.good night

Finally i did my lasik. My vision isnt perfect yet and still a little cloudy but i can definately see clearer without my 650 degrees specs. The experience was scary and i frost the whole morning. Inside the surgery room was fast and i witnessed the whole process with my eyes forced open wide. B4 the surgery i kept asking myself, which is scarier? Giving birth, operating on my wisdom tooth or this? I dont know why but i felt this is scarier cos its my eyes is talking abt. Glad its over and cant wait to recover, opening my eyes every morning seeing things clearly. Perfect!

2008-10-10T23:47:00.016+08:00

Hello and im back again. Been checking my facebook so often that i havent been blogging or posting pictures. A thought just came into my mind that blogging is good when im old, i can still check my blog and recall what happened. Just like a diary. Just did an event today at pan pacific. Job was pretty easy, now i will just grab any jobs that comes along b4 everything freezes cos of the terrible market. This is getting irritating. Earn and keep! haha

Anyway i havent been neglecting on jessica's growth, ive been taking her pictures just as often. If you wonder hows her development, i will post her pics after this. Last month had been busy due to a couple of jobs esp because of F1. Did a redbull event and it was interesting to meet some redbull drivers. Unfortunately, i didnt have my camera with me to take their pics while working. the job was 8pm to 2am and i had to report at 530pm. Tough work but, the pay overcomes everything. haha

I hope i get more work this month... As for jessica, she hasnt started crawling. I got a feeling that she wont crawl but will start walking when she can. Very demanding and getting very naughty. She loves gng out, and when i step out of the door without her, she will cry.. naughty but shes my precious baby.

Just now, william and i went back to NTUC esso to return our magnum ice creams that we bought on sat morning, after reading an article on straits times that some products are recall back due to the incident of the china dairy products. the following is cut out from the straits times website

THE two products found tainted with melamine are:
Yili Choice Dairy Fruit BarYogurt Flavoured Ice Confection
Dutch Lady strawberry flavoured milk
In addition, products from the following brands which are manufactured in China have been recalled:
Condensed milk: Black and White (from Hong Kong), Diamond
Liquid milk: Blancanube, Hotkid, Monmilk, Yili
Dairy cream: Gold Label, Topping Pride, Value Pride
Butter and ghee: Huo Guo Ye, Mu Ge, Phoon Huat
Milk candy: Milky Boy, Rabbit, The New Zealand Milk
Ice cream: Magnum, Meiji, Walls, Youcan

Before we spoke to the cashier, i went to check on the freezer whether they are still selling the magnums. To my surprise, they are still selling. So william started checking the back of the packing to see if it is made in china or which country was it produced from. We couldnt find it at all. Whatever they printed behind is rubbish, see no shit! However, william thinks we should tell them, getting any refund isnt the main issue but to clarify why are they still selling? Anyway they did do a refund for us. But i honestly cant tell which are the products from china. Terrible, i guess to play it safe is, NOT to eat them.

be careful! haha

2008-09-09T23:42:00.002+08:00

Today i had a starhub print ad job. This is quite tiring. It is 8+1 (makeup and hair) + 3 (OT)= 12 hours of work at Sentosa. 3 shots of various angles can take 12 hours of time. phew! One of the most tiring pose was to stand one feet on top of another like a catwalk and freeze! I couldnt balance properly so i needed someone to hold my other hand. I need to do 3 hairstyles. So much back comb and i think i dropped too much hair. Maybe at least 100 strands. The hair stylish keep complaining that my hair is too little, long and flat. I wanted to tell her that i lost too much after birth.
not sure what is this promotion all abt and too tired to find out. No chance to play with jessica today cos she was asleep b4 i left for work and slept again after im home. Hard work! kinda worry that i will turn bald....
ok. good night everyone. hugs

2008-09-02T14:29:00.003+08:00

Its day 3 at my new house. Im beginning to get used to a whole new place. The house is still in a mess cos we cant unpack most of the boxes due to the upcoming renovation, which we have to live with it. The 2nd level is empty and we had to squeezed everything into the 1st level. I cant wait for everything to be in place so we have a proper living area. But still this will take at least a month.

I took a stroll for lunch today and realised that this new house has ALOT of goodie food all over, i think i will grow FAT here. So mannyYYYYY things to eat. Unlike changi rise. Now i know why it made me hubby so happy of this new place. Jessica and i have been sick for quite a while and finally ive decided to bring the both of us to the doctor. Hopefully we will recover soon. Its been more than a week. Im too lazy for pictures nnow. Maybe when the house is ready i will take some. My favourite spot is the balcony with our spa. haha. William spent abt 2-3 hours cleaning it last night.

see ya.

BINTAN -BANYAN TRIP

The entrance to our villa so sianz.. i was called up last thursday that i was shortlisted for a health promotion board print ad. They are deciding btw 3 girls and i am one of them, my agency asked if im choosen can i go for fittings on fri evening at 7pm which i cant cos i leaving spore to bintan, supposingly at 11am, which was changed to 2pm then 5pm at last. So. now it is tuesday already and the shoot is on thurs means my job has gone down the drain. $$$ fly away, how sad and disappointing, so near and yet so far. praying for the pantene's "big" job which i had already went for the casting. kinda moody when a job has flown away. Anyway, hope it is a blessing in disguise. Now i can understand those jobs that ive gotten and other gals are eliminated, feeling the same way as i am now. haha...

Regarding abt our bintan trip, it was nice and relaxing. the room is beautiful and we had our very own jacuzzi in the villa. We wont need to walk around the resort, all we need was a phone call to get a buggy to pick us up and send us wherever we want. William tot we were like paralyze in paradise?

1st day we arrived late, so we had in villa dining which means room service. lol. the food is delicious and the bread is fresh.

beef rendang and caramelized duck leg with mashed potatoes. The man who came with the food, packed them in a little box. He came with that box and a basket with the cutlery. The set up the table. so cute.We stayed in the villa for a long while and went out to the reception to borrow some dvd. oh ya b4 our dinner arrived, william was practising his "kung fu- lian gong" in the jaccuzzi
see the bubbles?

The beautiful bed and roof, made of grass i think.

tree top cafe

taken at the rocks. In banyan tree, they do dinner on the "rocks" US160 per person. crazy, we skipped that, anyway they only have 1 table. cos they dun have enough rocks. :)

See, they set up the table?

Im having my 2 weeks break from school. This is so relaxing. I can stay at home and spend even more time with Jessica. Looking forward to our banyan trip. It must be beautiful and even more relaxing. Yahoo. However, even though it is relaxing, i still have my school assignments. This month is very quiet. No much casting. The starhub casting was cancelled, so no hopes for that job. Later on, i have a casting for an event in september.See how it goes and if i can get the job. Life's been peaceful and consistent so i dont have much to share. Just gotten some of my test shoot's pictures back. Most of it cant make it, except for 1. So here it is

Have a nice day.

this is a trip to keppel marina place, forgotten the name..

Hello im back again. havent gotten much time to update my blog eversince the communicasia. Shortly after the event, i left for genting highlands with jessica, my mom and super SITi ( the maid). I had fun during the trip and experienced driving towards and back to singapore. My mom wasnt able to drive the who journey due to "old age" haha so, let the young bird take over the wheels. Well, this trip, Jessica got to experienced some rides in the indoor amusement park. The took the ferris wheel, the boar ride, and some other rides that i dunno what its called. well, anyway, in case u might wanna know if i win any big bucks in the casino, the answer is NO! i tried the one of the monopoly jackpot machines and in less than 20 mins, ive lost RM 100. I didnt continue after that. Jessica love the hotel room and couldnt stop smiling and laughing.. The air is cool and i guess thats one of her reasons for being that happy. Jobs....not for the moment, i need to get back on track for some castings before i can get more jobs... i hope i can get a big one with $$$$$ wahaha... pray!pray! tomorrow i have a casting for a starhub printad... lets see..

School.... i started school again last week after 2 weeks of break, because ive done some of the modules that they've taught so i had 1/2 month holiday. After this friday, i, gonna have another 2 weeks.. cool! haha.. relax again. Currently im doing a module called "children's play" so we gotta think of ideas for children to have fun. we also need to learn the theories behind it, the pros and cons etc... I have some pics on what we have presented yday and im proud to share then with u, the "hard work" to be shown with the other pics that i will post in one go.

More or less, this is what uve missed out so far.. oh, my bday, there wasnt much of a celebration.. Jessica destroyed the atmosphere of the delicious dinner by being grumpy and complaining non-stop.. quite embarassing

thats all folks, see ya

2008-06-18T19:40:00.002+08:00

Weather has been rather cooling for the past few days. This month has been rather quiet and no much castings as last month. Unfortunately, i didnt get the patene job. How sad. Ive been losing alot of hair. Now, i truely understood why some people would say that after birth can result in losing hair. It is really scary at the rate of dropping hair.

3 days ago i brought jessica for her second swim at our pool with sand on the ground. Daddy bought her a swim ring that i picked at toy"r"us. I was excited to let her try and finally we did it!

Getting started

Swimming on her own

very relaxed.

Hello everyone! i have been too busy with different castings, fittings and the audition for the singtel grid girls. The audition is quite similar to MSU ( miss spore). Contestants will need to wear bikini into the audition room to face the judges. I felt quite okay with it cos this isnt my 1st time and ive done shoots with bikini b4.

Yesterday, i had a shoot for some profile pics on the grid girl thingy. The whole thing took quite long. Lots of waiting time. however, ive also done a hair show that required alot of waiting too. From morning abt 7 to 10 at night. However, after much thoughts, ive decided not to go on with the competition, too much committments and what if i dun win and i cant always leave jessica alone with the maid, i will get worry about it. Futhermore, ive got some work in June too, when they need most of our june dates. too bad la!

Currently im looking forward to a "pantene" print ad job, to be used in China. Pretty good pay for a print ad. I love doing print ads cos it doesnt require NGs, and i can freeze my smile pretty well too.pray! pray! la, cos the production manager mentioned that my hair is a good length and came forward to touch it....

Pictures that ive taken, but havent gotten the chance to post it till now

"just isnt the same anymore"

The above statement isnt related to what im gonna write. Today i just did a starhub ad. there are 4 different stories in that ad. My story is about a father and his group of friends watching tv that is in the baby cot when the baby isnt there. my role is the mother of that baby, who walks in with a crying baby showing a pissed face.
I was told that it was a full day shoot that takes up to 10 hours. fourtunately, it ended within about 4 hours including hair and make up time. I am very glad with the job. I was informed by a gal from the singtel grid hirl thingy to attend a briefing tonight, but i couldnt turn up, so i skipped on that. i asked her whats the briefing for, she said to take some measurements. So i asked her again, does that mean that i am shortlisted? she refused to answer and said i will be informed during the briefing. funny right?
Any she also asked me to take down some shooting dates and if im available otherwise, it will be useless too.. so lets see how it goes then...
kinda moody today, haiz

2008-05-19T10:53:00.003+08:00

So shiok, today is a public holiday and i can continue to slack but poor william has to go to work. Anyway, last night was scary. Jessica was crying non stop for about an hour and we have no idea what made her cry. We checked her tummy if theres wind, put some medicated oil too in case if it is tummy ache, but we just cant tell what went wrong. According to william, the same thing happened too when i was out doing a shoot. We brought her to KK, but ended up not seeing the doc cos the queue takes about an hour of waiting. The admin nurse wasnt very friendly, as she was handling the application, i told her we might just give it a miss cos the wait is too long. She slammed her keyboard. terrible! People who knows william might know his face when he reacted to her actions, he just cant be bothered n walk off.. haha...

Anyway, yday i went for the audition for grid girl. There were many girls and lots of "young" ones. The audition turned out to be what ive imagined and expected to be. It was like Miss singapore's, just that they have more judges. One of the judges, said "Andrea! you looked familiar!" omg! cos ive seen him too. next qns " which batch were u?" haha. He's also one of the judges from MSU. Geez i dunno man, i had fun and didnt shiver at all this time compared to 2 yrs ago. Maybe after all the training from modelling. Events, meeting people. Facing cameras is pretty easy. Now i knowwhy some contestants during the MSU competition are so relax, prob due to experience w modelling.

Anyway, ive gotten a tvc job on wednesday. Finally i managed to find out, it is for starhub. So catch it when its out la. Quite happy and excited about it cos it is my 1st proper local tvc. More to come.... HUAT ah....

so people have a nice monday today cos tmr will be another blue blue day..

2008-05-01T00:29:00.004+08:00

Closer comparison.....

I did an event on friday for samsung.. so they needed alot of girls. Over here, you can see most of the girls from various agencies such as upfront, mannequin, looque and cue models. however the girls from cues are missing from this pic. Quite a big event, cos they employed performace from the states such as from the " america's got talent" programme. Too bad i couldnt bring my camera to take their pics..

Girls from Looque- Agnes, Me, Jamie and Nicole.. Vanessa is missing!

good night!

2008-04-28T23:06:00.002+08:00

Andrea

Do we look alike?

2008-04-28T10:42:00.008+08:00

Mother and daughter look alike!

The whole family went out on saturday. On thursday i went out with my sister and i found a orange singlet for jessica that is the same color as one of my top, so i bought it and decided that "we" should wear it on the same day. This is how we look like

i will try to hunt for jessica's orange hairband

frightened by the camera? chubby chubby and sexy

Aunty SITI. Jessica is wondering whats going on... in deep thoughts.

like a boy or girl?

her bunny beanie. visit to the doc in her 3rd month

2008-04-14T10:57:00.007+08:00

Today is another relaxing day. I dont have anything much to do. No castings too. So i guess i can spend more time with the little girl. She is so tired after being out the whole of yesterday when her dad brought her to Sentosa with her grandparents and the maid while the mother is shopping away at Vivocity with her fren.
I think i made the right choice cos i get free aircon and its hot at Sentosa. Actually it isnt free cos i ended up shopping and e damage is i got some tops and a pair of ALDO shoes that r on offer. I tried to hide my shopping from William b4 he starts to nag. "Shopping, shopping ah"
To me, women just love to shop. (most women?) At vivo, u can claim parking for min $50 spent, for 1 point. I gotten 3 over points so u can see roughly how much ive spent. haha but im really happy abt it. NEAR NEAR, pls dun nag at me after my confession of my shopping spree. haha. Love ya, muckss
Next time i hope for is i can get the HSBC GSS print ad... Pray pray pray, always shortlisted for jobs and didnt really get them. SIanz

In shock, i thought she look quite funny. haha

Jessica, at the airport when she is sending us off to Japan. Looking kinda moody.

jessica while im on my computer.

to compensate 2 of my pictures looking fat. i cant tolerate the book spine making me looked like i have a belly.

so now u can see the difference.

2008-04-12T15:22:00.005+08:00

In this month's maxim. As one of the featured girls, hot mom too.

One of my fren say im very cheapo, used my camera to take the mag instead of scanning it. lol

with a flash spot in the middle of the page. lazy to take a more proper one

book not flat enough. ( my fav pic among all)

Have a nice beautilful weekend ahead and im stuck at home cos my dear william is sick with flu. hugs. get well soom

2008-04-12T14:48:00.005+08:00

visit to sanrio puroland, not as nice and fun as disney. suitable for really

young kids

hello. im going to post some random pics taken in japan, in disneysea

in the mickey train on our way to disneysea

me as Minnie, was here 1.5 years ago and 1.5years later, IM back. love this country.

the couple without the baby. little jessica was staying w my mom

The delicious pork ribs at 350 yen and a night scene of disneysea. Nice and cold.

2008-03-27T12:08:00.002+08:00

Im getting happier man.. Going to Japan next week, finally i can go travelling again. Thank you dear for taking me to Japan again once more. i really enjoyed myself the last time. Disneysea, the beautiful cartoon houses and characters. Oh my god, can believe im going there again. This time round we will be staying in Otani hotel, instead of Keio hotel we stayed the last time, in Tokyo. We tried the Otani hotel in Osaka the last time, which william thought it was quite good so he decided to book it for our Tokyo trip.
Anyway, the new maid has arrived! woohoo, so far so good on the 1st time, her cleaning is quite good. Can speak very well, but at least we can still communicate. I hope she is not just good for now. Jessica sleeping time has also improved, she can sleep through the night. After our hard work of training her, she is sleeping just like us. She sleeps at about 1130pm earliest, 130am latest. Night owls like us and all the way till about 8 plus, 9plus for her 1st feeding. Hard work pays off for training her.
Next, catch the next issue of Maxim. Last thursday i just did the shoot. I will be on cover for the mother's day issue, "special" i think cos they interviewed me on my marriage life and having a kid. I hope i wont look overly sexy, otherwise william might nag me. haha
This week not as much casting comparing to the last 2 weeks. So i also get to relax more and feeling happy. I think such happiness encouraged the flow of milk, breastfeeding. Haha...
Cant wait for the holiday but too bad jessica cant go with us cos she is still rather young to be travelling. otherwise i will be even happier to have her around, shouting and crying at me. My poor mother will have to take up the job of looking after jessie. not sure is it happiness or unhappiness for her.
I think it shouldn't be too difficult when she sleeps alot at night.Sometimes i will have to wait for her to wake up to drink for her 1st feed of the day. cute la! all mothers will think that their baby is cute!

2008-03-19T01:24:00.003+08:00

Singapore Flyer part 2
We all went to spore flyer on sunday and that will be the 2nd experience for william and I. It shall be a memorable day as Jessica Poo Poo when it took off. So everyone in the capsule get to smell her delicious contribution. haha

yo yo.. ive been a little bit lazy to update my blog. Since jessica is sleeping on the sarong, i should make use of this time to update. Recently i just did a video shoot with the CEO of SPH for this new upcoming search engine. The CEO will have to give a speech and it will be presented in 3D form and i will be coming out in this part where he mentioned about a tiger and i will pop out. So in this shoot, i have to wear a tiger suit where they rented it from the costume shop. To me the suit, looked more like a rabbit suit than a tiger. haha.

Couple a days ago, william and i brought jessica to East coast park. We went to take a stroll after visiting Eugene, his wife and his newborn baby.jessica enjoyed looking at the lights n and she looked so cute.

The funny tiger suit that looked like a rabbit.

2008-03-04T22:29:00.003+08:00

Today was quite an exciting day. I wanted to bring Jessica and Aunty out to meet Wan Ping to catch a movie. So before gng out, my agency called me and asked me to go for a casting behing katong shopping so i thought i should give it a try cos u never know when u get a job.
So i dropped off 1st and the two of them will wait for me at Katong Shopping cos its a short casting, they just need to take some pictures of me. Its for terminal 3.
After my casting, i went to meet them and we took bus 14 to cineleisure to meet WanPing. We bought the 515om show for leap years. the show is not bad and ive been catching alot of shows recently. I must make use of my time while aunty is around to help me. We took pictures at the neoprint shop with jessica. Its so so fun and jessica didnt know what was happening, i carried her here and there to pose. i will try to post the pics cos its pretty small.
Next at the cinema, we tried to keep her as quiet as possible cos its a romantic show too. there was a moment when it was completely quiet she made a noise, everyoone turned back, so embarassing. haha
towards the end of the show, i tot she might need more warmth, so i took off my jacket. Just as i put it over her, the show ended... BLAH...
today was fun.. shes so cute

Last night we went to Suntec for our facial appointment at 5pm. After our facial we , before entering the ECP, we went passed the Singapore Flyer so william asked me if i wanna to take a ride on it. So we did. the ticket was $29.50. Below 3 is FOC, above 60 is $20.50. the ride was 30mins. The capsule is big and stable, so it felt rather safe comparing to those ive taken in Taiwan and Japan (Osaka). The capsule we took had the 2 of us and another malay family of 3. We took lots of picture. We felt like a tourist in Singapore for the 1st time. That was interesting. Oh yeah, we tried the Popeye's chicken, it tasted like KFC and the biscuit is very nice.

2008-03-03T23:27:00.003+08:00

Sam, Melanie and my sister Mei

The 3 of us and i looked like i have double chin. OMG

Today i received melanie's birthday picture from my sister. It was her 1st year birthday and we went to long beach at IMM.. Thats the whole family picture with the 3 kids. Owen, Melanie and Jessica.

jessica full month birthday cake..

Jessica full month pic at Beng Hiang. Thought i should at least post the pics of the little celebration.

2008-02-28T00:35:00.008+08:00

I just received a picture from harry the photographer who took my pics over the weekends. I think my make up was quite bad that day. Done by a newbie and was being reprimanded by her teacher while she was doing my make up and hair. She didnt have any idea what to do esp i had bad dark circles day that. i tot it was terrible.take a look

What do u think? i have a even more horrifying one but i wouldnt dare to post. lol bad shading on the lower part of the eye hor? i shall name this picture as the ghostly MEsee? 1st day is better. This is terrible, being a ghost in front of so many ppl. haiz, it is impt to meet the right make up artist. They can cover ur dark circles better than what u see above, the 1st pic.

i hope such thing wont happen man... sobz

2008-02-26T22:04:00.009+08:00

Today i did a job for Citigold's new branch in paragon. This event is under Dick Lee's company and it was pretty fun. The job is simple and time flies quickly. The worst part of all will be standing with heels for long hours. Other than that we get to eat finger food all the time. The theme of the event is "perankan" so we all got to wear that kind of dressing with the big hair thingy. Im glad that i got to know Shih Wen through this job too cos shes a nice sweet gal and we seemed to get along.

Here's Dick Lee and us.here's chie yang, who is also under Dick Lee's company and in charged of us. He is very friendly person to work with.

here's the 2 of us. We looked old in this dressing plus the hair. I quite like the clothes

This was taken last night when jessica is sleeping in her sarong with her mouth opened. Sleeping soundly

Little jessica and her grandmother.

Jessica sleeping in her pram. She was so small that time, less than a mth, prob 2 weeks? She needed the blanket to hold her while sitting in the pram.

Taken last night too with her daddy. i wanna see if she looked like him more. She turning botak. haiz!

See! they look alike hor.

its a tiring day and im gng to bed, i can continue to NUA a few days after working since saturday till today.

2008-02-21T22:45:00.008+08:00

Here are some of my maternity shots..

Anyway,Confinement nanny is coming back tmr. Yippy, can rest more now. Actually i am begining to get used to the late nights, and early mornings. That will oso depend who is on duty for the night.Poor william getting dark circles. hope he gets more rest on his trip to hong kong. Im back to my work 9 part time work. been going for castings and hopefully i can get all the jobs especially the big ones. This can keep me more occupied and more useful too cos can earn extra bucks.

2008-01-28T11:27:00.000+08:00

This Sunday will be jessica's full month. It will be a week earlier because of chinese new year. Thats fast. A moment ago she was in my tummy and now she out in this world and turning a month old. Soon i will be a grandmother. haha.
Last night, i had a mahjong game till 2am, better play and enjoy more while the confinement aunty still around. Little Jessie can really scream. Aunty commented that shes a impatient girl and everytime she wants her milk, she must have it immediately. oh no, hope it wont be too difficult for me in future. its lunch time again..

2008-01-27T11:50:00.000+08:00

I think i am really a computer idiot. After being asked to add friends on my blog, i still cant figure out how to add... i click on almost anything i can but i still cant find the right way.argh. can someone give me exact direction to this problem? step by step cos i am a computer freak.
:)
anyway yesterday we brought jessie out to vivocity. She spent most of her time sleeping and only wake up for her milk. Almost anyone who sees her would make the comment of her looking so small and out already. Dont really like the way they comment, cos they dun look very friendly. However, i sort of enjoy taking her out although i know she doesnt understand whats going on. William is more like the full time nanny when we are out cos when i am looking at stuff, he would either carry or push her around. Half way through we met my mom, i accompanied her to buy her neck support thingy and we went separate ways as shes with owen, my little nephew.
I didnt buy anything at all, yesterday and i felt that i should get something. well.. next time..
This morning, we were suppose to catch "I am Legend". But, we didnt cos william is sleeping so soundly until i give up. There is only one time slot at 11am at tampiness mall.
I wasnt allow to watch it before cos jessie was in my tummy and william said it was too violent. argh, i shall sneak out one of these days to watch it myself.
Have a nice sunday ahead and im going to have my lunch NOW!

Hello, i m here to load some of jessica's pics for those who wonder how she looks like.

Like a snowman in pink

In the labour room. Look! shes still wet. The machine next to me is the epidural. Our little family of 3

her side view with her "thinking" look. her nose is a little big hor? i must start squeezing to make it sharper.

Daddy's girlgoing to the doc for her check up, in a blue blanket.

Do i look like her mom? a haggard mom

2008-01-11T17:04:00.000+08:00

its been 3 days since the 8th jan and that makes jessica 3 days old too.Weighing at 2.975kg, 50 over cm at 1235pm. Today is the 2nd day since ive discharged from the hospital. William had to leave for China for a night and back tomorrow, taking my camera with him, i cant load the pics to show u.
Anyway, im still feeling good about everything. A little bit tired because i havent been sleeping much at the hospital esp there were different groups of ppl coming in to do different things such as taking my blood pressure, giving out meals, giving out medication, checking on me etc etc and etc. Been sleeping at about 12am daily and up at abt 6 plus. faintz!
The delivery of the baby was successfully and much better than i thought, lasted for abt 6 hours and a bit. As i was telling everyone that epidural is an AMAZING INVENTION. No feeling at all. Kind of funny when the nurse say, "Ok Andrea, now you are having ur contraction, Push!" At the same time, i couldnt feel anything. They could see/judge it through the graph that is being drawn by a machine like charting.
So within less than 5 mins when my doc arrive, jessica is borned! crying loudly! :)
Her face changes daily but i believe that every parent would think that their child is cute, so im feeling the same. I hope she will grow up well, easily taken care and understanding. seeya

2008-01-01T14:41:00.000+08:00

Happy new yr.. this year's new year is so different from the past, because i was staying at home with my hubbywatching tv. The simplest countdown but sweet at the same time. we watched Xmen on cablevision. Had a delicious mango i bought from parkway.
No plans for today but we will be visiting a fren "JANN" who has to stay at home cos his wife just given birth, so we want to see the baby too then probably go orchard walk walk, waste some time, cant possibly stay home. lol
anyway, hope all of u will have a good day and once again happy 2008. mucks....

2007-12-25T12:22:00.000+08:00

One silly button, i have to re-type the whole thing all over again. Merry christmas everyone and how was your celebration? Yesterday, william and i went to 2 different places to visit. One was chow yang's place and the other one was janice and kaixin's place. At chow yang's place, we had pizza and the golden pillow 933 curry bread. I thought the 933 tasted quite good. Jaan was the organiser and the one who ordered the food, but he isnt in the picture cos he cant come as his wife's waterbag burst. this frightened me cos her delivery date was 19th jan and mine is 11th jan. oh dear! i wonder has his wife
given birth yet? wish her all the best and hopefully it wont be too painful!Our group picture

chow yang and his daughter

933's mutton flavour

the curry is inside the bread wrapped in plastic and paper, i wonder how they bake it?

OPening ceremony with chee wei

we went to botak jones for lunch, too hungry to take the pic of the food. we had this "oops" voucher so we can order anything from the menu and we did. highly recommended! look its more than $70, and it is in a coffee shop.. very nice beef.

2007-12-24T11:30:00.000+08:00

Long time no see!

its been exactly a month since ive shifted to my new place.( to princess mom: baby is a girl and her name is jessica) hopefully she can be as pretty as jessica simpsons, jessica liu and all the pretty jessicassss in the world) and of course easy to take care, thats what ive always been telling her.

Anyway back to the topic, im in my new place and i really love it. Its like a girl's dream to have a home of their own with the one they love. Sounded like a fairy tale story, yeah? Ive yet posted the picture of the house after the renovation. Not really extreme makeover, but the changes is beautiful, at least for me. Wait till the house is neater , i might put up the pics, cant take them now due to the rainy season, and clothes cant be dry so i have my clothes dry in the living room. Who else is having that problem too?

i have to stop my course on early childhood, due to jessica's arrival, i must rest more to hatch the golden piglet egg... time flies.. i cant imagine how life is gonna be. My hubby seemed to be worry about me w jessi. he always say things like " somemore ure so young" alamak.. my reply to him was " Dear, in the olden days, ppl also gave birth at the age like what 14, 15, 16.....?, most impt is to be able to bring the child up" then he will think about it and felt slightly better, i think..

Anyway everyone is getting excited, so am i. My mom also very cute, when she cant get me over the phone, she will be so kanchong, thinking i might fall and need to give birth. Especially when im alone at home. No fear! ai zhai! lol. I hope jessica will be close to my mom. Very often i will imagine the picture of them together, jessica who might resemble me in my mom's hand, she might feel young again just like carrying me last time. I think me, who is gng to be a mom soon, starts to feel more for my mom. Now i understood why some ppl always say, you wont understand until ure a mom. William's parents are getting excited too. Whenever i popped by their place, they will look at my tummy. Once, his dad said " hmm, its coming, see the tummy is lowered" His mom said" if the doc didnt say it was a girl, i would think it is a boy, due to the shape of ur tummy, its the sharp type" So william went to clarify with the doc again. HAha. the doc ensured that it was a girl and the pic showed clearly. So people, those things abt the shape of the tummy is MYTH.. i am a real life example.

This was taken on 8th dec, my mom's birthday, we all went for dinner, i was about to enter the 9th month pregnancy. cant see my tummy from here.

Then again the three of us, everyone looking into different angles.

Ive transformed Owen into a little minnie mouse.. shhh his mom better dun find out abt me posting this pic.

My school project, where all of us have to set up learning corner for kids, ours is the jungle theme. The ball throwing games, i did all those cartoons!

The tent and the campfire area.

I was explaining the Spinner game,19th dec, cant see my tummy hor, in case u may wanna find out abt the size of my tummy.

our group pic, i looked like a giant.

The brownie we had in suntec's OLIO cafe, very nice n sinful, the ice cream is in the middle. Oh dear , i need to lose all those calories man.

2007-11-27T23:39:00.000+08:00

Finally, tml i will be moving into our new home. I love the new place. Although, it may be inconvenient without driving, but its worth it. it will be a long distance to walk out to the nearest bus stop. Not sure will the management get a shuttle service for the condo.
anyway, looking at the progress of the renovation is fulfilling. Love the sofa, the huge rocking chair, the new "THICK" bed, the lights, everything in it.
Finally a house to be called my own. MY HOUSE... heehee. nice tv too, my "own" kitchen.. WAH
I am lucky to have such a nice house, thanks to my dear husband.. same goes for jessica, sometimes i would imagine her crawling along the passageway, think that will be sweet! ah, nice i can go and sleep while thinking of the house and sleep in it tomorrow. good night and sweet dreams.

2007-11-19T10:47:00.000+08:00

Hello and good morning. I just completed my essay. Phew! 1500 words, damn difficult to write. It took me a long time to start on the very 1st word. Essay is about the our preschool education system. Finally... i know its bad to say something like this, but i wanna let it out. so i will talk a little bit on it. My coursemates ranges from as young as 19 to 50 plus. Everyone is required to do the same amount of work with the same criteria. But the problem is, i have some mates who cant do their work, and would seek for other's work as referencing. i dont think this is a good thing. Those we done their work, wont mind sharing their ideas, methods and sources, but not sending you their work la. Such work must have privacy. According to what i heard is, some may have problems doing their work, that doesnt mean that those who done their work didnt crack their head for it. i was thinking through this, then i tot could it be the age problem?
Cos i am 24 , i would able to write the stupid 1.5k words? but there is another gal who is 19 could do it leh. when she asked me about what to write, i shared my ideas with her and the points that i noted it down from the teacher. When comes to writing i cant tell her what to write too. haiz. i dunno should i just be inconsiderate and say it to her, be rude? haiz. when the submission of this assignment is arriving, i would have the feeling she will come asking for our work and again, she did.
Instead of ignoring the sms, i reply sending it to her isnt good and i gave her the sources. i think it is good enough. i also have my life. i divide my work and leisure time, so she should do the same too la. the rest i cant be bothered. getting irritated.
Anyway, i am looking forward to my new place. the reno is looking pretty and cosy. the furnitures are still wrapped up, i cant wait to sit on my huge rocking chair. My privacy, cant walk around naked with curtains down. haha, kidding
next week, next week....

2007-11-15T09:50:00.000+08:00

looking thru the old pics. last yr around this time, we are preparing to go japan. so nice, i miss that place......

the hotel we stayed, according to william, it is 5 stars and best in malacca.

self taken picture.

chowyang, helen and their baby girl. poor daddy had to carry his gal around and walk along the streets. A pram will come in handy lor. see them like that, scare me. tough work

we are back to the place again , b4 we were together and married. it was so bright until my eyes cant open. wat a awful smile but at least he smiled in this pic

the real chicken rice ball, not too big or not too small. William's fren tot it was fishball initially.

the streets of malacca. im surprised that there are lotsa ppl, mostly tourist.

The 3 of them waiting for food when there is none. maybe they want some $ instead from william's wallet.

AH, the only time i managed to snapped him with his face, facing the front than the top. He always lift up his head one. He look young from this angle hor?

The 3 of them.. too bad the gate block them. mika the hao lian boy sitting at the back

Kim Kim, i tot she looked like snoopy here. Took this b4 we left for the malacca trip.

Sorry! didnt rotate the pic, but lazy too since its loaded. MA FAN. This is taken during the IMPORT Model carshow at expo. entrance fee $10 which i tot is not worth it. This was the ONLY interesting pic i took there, its like a halloween car. My purpose there was to see hot babes in bikinis, but i was told they left when i reached. damn it

AH, birdsnest with almond cream delivered to my doorstep when i was doing the stupid tedious observation. Seeing it in a coconut shell, i tot and tasted like coconut cream until william told me its almond so... quite solid la the BIRDSNEST part

Part of my project was to get a food pyramid. My group, we went an extra step ahead to get it done ourselves. This is my workpiece. Copy from internet one la. lol

My silly nephew, so afraid of standing on the platform outside vivo's. He is afraid that the floor will collapse and didnt want to stand up. Silly yet cute. Look at his face

I love my mom, i hope in future my little Jessica will be close to me like i am close to her. Sometimes i would rather spend time with her than my friends. It is like spending more time with her when i am still given the chance and not living in regrets. Been sticking to her closely since young and i have to admit that i am a mommy's girl. Even though , she can make me really mad too but i guess we dont hold grudges against each other cos be gained better understanding each time.

having coffee with my mother at vivo's pacific coffee, when my belly starts to show a little, my mom say i horrible wear until all tight tight one. tights and tight top, lotsa ppl staring at me, thinking am i pregnant? or something wrong with my tummy.

The childcare centre that i did my practicum with. iKIDS

2007-11-10T07:28:00.000+08:00

:)
My practicum of 9 days is over for a week, time flies. from the beginning of the 9 days, it seemed forever to end. yesterday i managed to hand in of "observation" assignment. Observation is done during my prac, and i have to observe the children and documented into a file of them. That was difficult and boring.
i can still reall the events in the school vividly. i think i dont really miss the children there. i thought of the reasons behind it. i think it is because i am gng to have one of my own and the school is very near, i can always visit anytime. who knows, i may do my prac 2,3 there?
woke up b4 7a, today, so hardworking! on a nice, cooling saturday. set my alarm at 730am, but woke up automatically maybe i am excited.
Dear dear and i are gng to melaka with his big group of friendsss for a 1 night stay. i am so bored staying in spore! everyone seemed to be travelling at least to malaysia except me. it was sweet of him to arrange one with his buddies.
haha.. iam feeling hungry, need to grab something to eat b4 we set off, didnt have much for dinner last night and had it as early as b4 7pm. however, we went to see the import models at expo hall 5. How disappointing! i dun get to see the gals in bikinis, and that was my reason of gng man! saw the local gals though, no familiar faces just bumped into some frens.
okay i gtg, i havent pack my stuff and william is still sleeping..
i shall update with my melaka pics when i am back. byebye

2007-10-18T11:36:00.000+08:00

Oh yeah, i still have a few more pics to share. Some taken on Last saturday and sunday. Wanted to post them a few days ago but couldnt post them.

Baby renee holding the pen in a correct manner. The right grip. Seldom get to see kids at her age able to do it.

Tyler in his "Zebra suit" with William. i wanna get one for jessi too, next time.

Group picture at Sarah's birthday.

2007-10-18T11:03:00.000+08:00

i have no idea whats wrong with the site or with my computer. Everytime when i attempt to post, the whole thing will hang. Or could it be the pictures? let me try again

now , it works. maybe it is due to the wireless network. So this pic above is one of the other group's work. This module is to plan and decorate an attractive, yet healthy food to the children. This group's theme is Japanese food.

This is Anita's group. Their theme is Dinosaur land, more for the boys.

Another group, their theme is "Plants"

This group havent got much theme. The burgers are meant to be either crabs or spider.

And finally, this is my group's. Our theme is "Chicken Licken's Farm" which is based on a book called the chicken licken. Background, is hand-made by me. The "grass" is torn up pieces of brownish green paper. The Pie you can see on the left is Sheppard's Pie, baked by me. The Pie is meant to be garnish in a manner like the crops land on the right. The carrots are hte fencing. Does it look like the fences? The dessert is brownie, cut into cubes. It is served right next to the cow, like "Hay". The outer-layer of fencing is made of ice-cream sticks. When i was planning and doing all the handicraft, i felt i was back into my primary school days. With better motor skills to draw. William always wonder how come i can spend so much time and patient, painting and drawing. To him is " Bo LIAO" but i like it.

Our group's picture.

Whole class picture.

Found this picture at my mom's place. Thats my sister and little blackie when he was so small, we brought him to Genting.. SHH.. he is so cute. Time flies. He was a baby and now in heaven. I wish he will still be around. Now even "blackie number 2" is gone.. miss them still

2007-10-13T11:18:00.000+08:00

Its a nice cooling day.. Today is full of activities. Not the most interesting ones but shopping for furnitures with or designer of our new house. We will be looking at curtains, lights and sofa. AFter the date with the designer we will head down to orchard to walk walk, meet Amy the confinement agency lady and to SARAH'S surprise bday party organised by her hubby. So sweet right?
i hope i will get some good pics today so i can share it . so have a nice saturday ahead. For the malays, hari raya.

2007-10-12T10:03:00.000+08:00

Friday morning at my mom's place. My mom was already out by the tme im awake so meet her taiwanese fren who is flying back in the afternoon. The new maid told me she's gng to the market. The instruction given to her was to go to the market with me when i wake up, but she misunderstood it wrongly and went on her own instead.
my dear dear sister came. Supposingly to pick the maid, but the maid wasnt around. i would say its more like screaming at me for letting the maid out "you shouldnt anyhow let the maid go to the market one leh, Andrea!"
and that sentence destroyed the mood of my friday. dammit.i paid the same amt of $ as her to share the cost of this maid to help my mom. So i am sure she is so so wrong to even raise the slightest voice.
Since young, been always facing her temper. Now, im married and going to be a mom,she doesnt respect. find one day, i shall do it back at her.
lol now i feel better.

2007-10-11T10:55:00.000+08:00

Its thursday... one more day to go, for the weekend to come. i think my mood is pretty good today.. i spent quite alot of $ on my mom yday. went to the NTUC, paid for her bills. Paid for her lunch and dinner. Means i am paying for 2 people to eat.

whatever... at least when i do this, i feel better in a way i didnt neglect her esp when she moved into her new place.Been alone after i was married. Not really too, cos i have been gng back to stay with her. Her new maid has arrived, which is good cos i know she loves company. whenever she is alone, she always talk abt loneliness and i feel bad. When im not around, she is really just alone. All she have is the TV and telephone. No Hubby or pets. So now "Wa Hew" the maid's name, can be there physically to accompany her. lol. poor thing! my mom kept screaming at her. She cant speak a Single sentence of english and my mom's malay is 1 pcs 1 pcs one.

i better stay out of it! all i have to do is to share cost with my sister. Ouch! thats a pinch in my pocket and heart. haha

Btw i have some pictures to share

my anniversary present from Japan.. we gotten the brown one last yr in japan. This time round the black and white one is brought back by chee wee ( william's fren) Putting them together look so cute! brown one named "caramel" the other one is "chocolate chip"

My fren Ting with a funny smile. the last time was her funny glasses. this was after our presentation.

one of my many work i have done in this course. i like the border. submitted to the office, so take one last pic of it.

my group mates. from left: Me( i look fat! so sad), Ting, Namira, Farah, Rebecca

thats all folks, let me take more pics

2007-10-09T09:04:00.000+08:00

Morning, rise and shine. I am not the early bird type, but today is exceptional. I was waken up by 3 different ways. 1. An sms at 7 plus from a classmate ( managed to go back to bed) 2. Another sms from a classmate at 8:20 abt ( when i was abt to go back to slp again) 3. the powerful sound system from the lower floor. My parents in law are playing their stero. Luckily William left my door close, so at least it blocks out the sound partially. The best part is, the song can repeat non stop and in dunno what language.. some oldies..

The difference btw ur own parents home is, you can scream at ur mom!! but i cant do so here, right? lol

nvm i am already looking on the bright side, cos i am gng to my own paradise "changi rise". There wont be any of such problem. Last few months, when such thing happen, really made me feel sad and blue. cos i dunno when will it end and will it ever end.

Serious! the kind of songs is definately not what our generations will like and ive never hear it in my life at all.

Ok! enough of the morning complains...

Today i have a few things to do. To tidy up my assignment that has to be handed in later. Drawing up a concept map for a presentation later and gng for class early.

He is my "observation child" Owen.. you cant see my face.

2007-10-04T00:04:00.000+08:00

Blogs can be boring without pictures. I havent been loading my pics or taking much picture with my camera and that is why i havent been posting. Even if i post anything, they will only be just words. I enjoy viewing other's blog for their pics so i guess its the same for my blog too. I am getting more used to married life as time passes. School lessons can be fun and meaningful. By the way its early childhood education. Many ppl will ask me qns like "Preparing for motherhood?" Answer is "Yes" in case you are curious.

Anyway, yesterday was my anniversary with my hubby and it was sweet of him to spend time with me. The night b4 when the clock strikes 12am, i was given a "chocolate chip" snoopy version soft-toy all the way from OSAKA universal studio. Last year, when we went there, he gotten me a brown version of it and i named it "caramel"

I dont have the pictures now, i will post that very soon though. The next day, i dont expect any present for our special day cos, having him is already a gift.. lol

William brought me out for dinner and bought me another present and again i havent taken the picture and i will soon.

let me show u our dinner

yummy!

this is call the "PAM PAM" when i was gng to order my food, i asked william whether he tried this b4, he said not bad and it looked like a purse. Do u agree?

and this is DANTING, lol. dont be angry with me for putting up this pic. shes just one loud gal in my class with her funny glasses...

happy one year NEAR NEAR, i love u lots and the only one in my life. thanks for loving me, doting on me. All i can say is, ITS WORTH IT HOR.......

Ning ning ning

All alone is Singapore. How i wish i am in overseas now. William and my my mom has gone abroad to different countries. Feels like home alone. Its gonna be a lonely weekend. Many of my classmates are dressed up and going somewhere after class. I did arrange some programme. Meeting my 2 buddies, wan ping and pris later. For dinner and chit chatting session. Fortunately i still have them to accompany me. This kind of feeling is like a rainy day without warmth. My mom is coming back tomorrow so at least i will still have her tmr. William will be back on sunday, should be in the night. Means sunday is gone too and monday arrives.

have a nice weekend

its almost a month since the terrible day. Life is kinda weird. sometimes you may think that the worst is over, but there is always more to come. A blog is like a writing a diary, where you can share with some other people at the same time.
Marriage life isnt just about 2 people, but it invloves in many other people too. As we grow, it gets more and more complicated. Now i truely understand why many youngsters nowadays would want their own house and family that is away and not with the in laws. So, in a way u still feel that they will still have the control over themselves. If some cant even solve their own problems, it will be worsen if there are other factors in the family, other members in the family.
For my case is probably becos i dun understand in the 1st place or from the beginning so i didnt mind. Perhaps, all of us are just so used to the "home" we came from. The lifestyle where we are brought up in, so in a different family. You just cant understand. Maybe the only solution to all this, is to study the environment ya in and adapt to it? is that the way? what if u cant?
Living life day by day. My mom always tell me, raise your opinion if u have any trouble. But how leh? will it end up like stirring shit? Its sinful if u stir the wrong thing leh. Im not a vicious person that is able to play in the game. Not that i feel that my marriage is having problem. Maybe its all getting used to it,maybe i am too young? There are people i can share with, which made things rather tough sometimes. I am a cheerful person, and at many times i am able to tell myself."Andrea, dont think too much. Be strong!" Too emotional!!!
just wanna normal life and be happy. Not like the best happiness, joy, but just happy will do. whatever, when william is sad, im sad. when his worried, me too. haiz

3rd day. will be staying over at my mom's place, lesser memories of little blackie here. No doubts, i still miss her. This is unfair! not that i can appeal to anyone to bring her back. Been crying lesser, but will it start again once im back at telok kurau?
She might have been killed after eating parts of the rattan ball, due to digestion but this is ridiculous! the pet shop sold us a rabbit accessory that killed the rabbit? what kind of logic is this? its pet lovers somemore.
Life still got to go on.. yes...
but this feeling sux, sometimes u just dont really want to talk to anybody else other than family members. Worse thing, is i have school work coming up and due date is coming.... i just dont feel like doing anything and wanna rot.

Leave me to rot kinda feeling.

got her on the 2nd july, just a period of about 30 + days, my emotional level is @ the peak. Life is so fragile, this led me to further thoughts in life. When im getting older, my mom will eventually leave me. i really cant imagine how sad i will be comparing to today. i will faint on the floor. Soon everyone leaves, and when im all along, my children have their own lives. No one to support me as a pillar. Oh dear. i was telling william abt this. He said i shouldnt be too negative about it.
Furthermore, Im only 24 now, why bother thinking about 30 years later? thats true. this incident serves as a reflection of life.
i still wanna be happy and carry my smile wherever i go. i just cant do that for now. lets see. Just wanna say i still miss her.
sorry for hear my nags.

Only animal lovers will understand

Since the last time i had rabbits for the past 10 years and recently again. I tend to realise that many people cant understand why i can be sad over the loss of a "rabbit". the answer is the bond and attachment to it. You dont see it as an animal but a companion and part of ur life.

many had pets for the sake of having one, following the trend of being a pet-owner, to kill time, for gf to make her happy, etc but not to understand them. Only those who can see what these amazing animals can do when they r not human, yet they themselves have feelings too, for u.

Since yesterday, i hear people around me said

"its just a rabbit, for goodness sake"
"buy a new one lor"
" chey, its only a rabbit, not even a dog"

words like this, actually hurt me more, cos if u dun understand, and wanna help. Just dun give any comments.
becos to me
ITS MORE THAN THAT

its a living thing just like us and not as fortunate as just to able to have more things in life. In fact, to them, we are all they have.

so pls dun say such words. i will even feel sad for a hamster.

Its a sad sad saturday. It was just yesterday when i load my pictures from my camera into my computer. Pictures that i took since my wedding day till now. I havent been updating my blog for a long time. I always wanted to share with everyone and to present my new pet " blackie" pet rabbit.

Got her on the 2nd July for my birthday present, from my hubby. I remember i was looking the the rabbits in the pet shop and reminded me of my last rabbit named "blackie" too. At that moment, memories of him drew back into my mind and i really wanted to have another rabbit which i have been thinking about long time ago.

Worrying about the lost of a dear dear pet, stop me from having another one. However, that very day, i decided not to fear the feeling of Losing a loved one and i have blackie in my arms.Seems like its just fated that she left me today, after falling so sick and couldnt wait for us to send her to the vet. She passed away while we are on our way. The minute of that loss, the world seems like collapsing when there are still many reasons not to feel so that way.

She's just so young and small and she definately dont deserve such short life span. I only had her slightly more than a month. This shouldnt happen!!! no way!! yet i cant do anything to help and to see her go.

I kept thinking through what went wrong? and what is it that i havent done enough ? i have never neglected her eversince i had her. Everyday i will make an effort for her, before i go for my classes and when i am back home, i will let her run around or carry her upstairs while i watch tv. The day we bought her, the smile on me was pure happiness. Even william said i didnt smile or look so happy on our wedding. I was indeed very very happy.

Things just changed! i cant imagine on daily basis i have to walk through the steps ive seen her hopping on. I really loved blackie lots.

yet, yet... i have to accept it.

here a sweet memorable picture of blackie for one last time.

She will always be remembered in my heart and soul

Now u can understand how tiny she is.

when she tried to flip. beautiful eyes!

having a pet is good. Losing a beloving pet hurts. But, this makes me realise something in life everytime when this happen.

Life is fragile, and at any moment we shouldnt take it for granted. everyone around us, our loved ones. dont live in regrets!

Even the young ones, Taking blackie as an example. She's young and i never thought this would happen, esp so soon. It happened!

Dont neglect ur loved ones and ur pet who can only be with you for a short moment in ur life!

(let me drown in tears) may time heal!
