Canden's 2yr old celebration at Childcare

2010-06-13T22:24:00.004+08:00

He was beaming when Chinese Teacher Xue played the birthday songs (in English & Mandarin) for him! All his schoolmates sang for him!
Teacher Mabel (Arts Teacher - in Black), Teacher Xue (Chinese Teacher - in Purple), Teacher Angie (English & Maths Teacher - in White)! He seems to prefer his Arts Teacher :P She seems to know how to comfort him...nicey Teacher. :)
See his cute little smiles when he was posing for the photos!

Canden is 2 years old!

2010-06-13T21:14:00.003+08:00

1st birthday celebration was with my family - with Popo, Gong Gong, Yi Yi & Uncle Boon!
(Elebaby was missing becuz he went to the PC show :P)
his 1st cake was chosen by Cadence jie jie - Chocolate cake with Hello Kitty & Dear Daniel)

Canden has stepped into the TERRIBLE TWO stage!!

2010-06-13T21:00:00.002+08:00

Hello everyone!! Our little prince Canden has turned TWO!!! Yesh!!!
Time really flies! It was like only yesterday when he was born.... :) I really cannot believe that he is 2 now! He is into the TERRIBLE TWO stage!!! Muahahahah!
But teachers in his school commented that he is a real good boy! He is able to feed himself independently without mess and is very well-behaved! He is able to put on his crocs and take them off independently...able to put on his shorts and take them off independently too!! Everyone said that it is because I am an Occupational Therapist so my kids are real good in their ADLs....!!! muahahahah! He is generally well-behaved when he is outside...but...at home!!! He can be quite a naughty fella! I attribute to my in-laws indulgent behaviour! They just spoiled him badly....real badly...i really dunno what to do...I am just hoping and praying that our new place will be ready soon and we can shift out asap....I spoke to them all the time about not spoiling him but they simply will not heed my words...sighhhh...only when Elebaby speaks to them....they will listen..only for a while...sighhh...

Princess Cadence sharing the lollipop with Prince Canden. She is always such a loving sister :) While waiting for the ferry to bring us to Batam...
We always like going to either Batam or Bintan with the kiddos because of the short distance as well as the short travelling time - only 45-60mins! It does not matter to the kiddos at all... :) as long as we are together and they have fun...it is all that matters! Enjoy the photos!

HELLO everyone!!! Goodness! It has been almost a year since I last written over here...have been really busy with work and the kiddos!
They have grown much and still full of *cute-ness* and mischief! Hahahah! Especially my little prince - Canden! Cadence has always been a good girl! She takes care of the little boy real well and the little boy loves her back too BUT of course, they fight occasionally too!
This photo was taken last year during Cadence's K1's concert! Ain't she pretty?! *proud mummy*

Canden is turning ONE this thursday

2009-06-08T11:51:00.003+08:00

Our little prince Canden is turning ONE this year! He just had a mini celebration with Popo, Gong Gong, Yiyi, Uncle Boon, Kau Fu, Kum Mo, Jie Jie, Daddy & Mummy at a Teochew Porridge Buffet Restaurant yesterday! :) Had his 1st cake!! On Thursday itself, there will be another cake, then on Sunday another cake with Ah Gong, Mama and another cake with Daddy's friends and probably another cake with GodMa and Godpa!!!! goodness!!! So many cakes to come!!!! :)

Jie Jie Cadence made all of us sing both English & Mandarin Birthday songs to Didi! :) She helped Didi blow the candle as well! hahahaha! :) She enjoys blowing out candles and she said Didi was too young to know how to blow! heheheh!

Look and Smile

2009-04-20T09:44:00.003+08:00

Hello all! Must tell you all something! On Friday, we had dinner with Elebaby's colleagues. My princess Cadence FIRST PEELED A PRAWN for Mummy! I was sooo touched and I still am :) I am really proud of her and the prawn tasted EXCEPTIONALLY YUMMILICIOUS! 17 April 2009 - my daughter first peeled a prawn for me! She was so proud of herself and wanted to peel more for me :)

I love these 2 photos of my sunshine! :) Daddy-O took them when we went to the Zoo with Angela babe and Boon bro. Didi princey Canden was looking at Cheh Cheh Cadence playing at the water area. Actually the water area looked really fun but NOT very clean so mummies if you bring your kiddos, do shower and wash them clean afterwards. Do bring along your soap and shampoo and towels along. They have a washing area and toilet so can shower the kiddos clean and fresh. Princess Cadence looked so sweet in this photo ya?! We were waiting for the Elephant show to start. She totally enjoyed herself when the elephants came out. :)

Weather has been real bad everyone so do drink loads of water and keep cool! The papers said that this April is going to be a real hot and humid one! :P

Going to Tampines 1 with my sister later! Yeah! Checking out the new place...go for good food...I will probably not buy stuff...Elebaby and Peng always scold me for not taking care of myself..but I rather save all my money and spend on my love ones.. :P Dunno why but it is just so hard to take money and buy stuff for myself...Have not buy new clothes or accessories for myself for the longest time...Never mind la...Elebaby and Cadence always tell me that I am a pretty Mama! hehehehehe :P All these nice words, love and seeing my kiddos grow up healthy and strong are enough for me...material needs later la!

My wonderful kiddos

2009-04-06T16:39:00.007+08:00

Hello all!!! SO sorry for not updating...I have been so so busy with work, housework and my kiddos that it is so so hard to find time to update... :) Hope everyone has been well and happy :)

I must say that I am a lucky mummy. My Cadence princess is the most wonderful daughter anyone can get...hehehehe....I am a proud mummy la... :) Elebaby has been busy with work lately and coming home late...I have to always attend to Baby Canden and my princess is the most wonderful! She will bathe independently, dries herself and wears her own pyjamas! :) She will then also comb her hair and don on her pretty hairband to keep her hair neat. Most wonderful is that she will take her own readers and then revise her work. I don't even ask her to do that.... :) She will do her own reading! She is well versed in English and Mandarin! Amazing! She can write so many English and Chinese words! Her teachers always reaasure me that she is a good girl and assists in teaching weaker classmates! :) I went early to her school one day and saw her coaching her friend to read. I was really beaming with pride!! Thank you for such a great daughter!

My kiddos are growing up strong, big and healthy! I am so so happy...can be really tiring taking care of the 2 kiddos but everything is worth it...I can give up anything for my kiddos and also Elebaby! :) They are my sunshine in my life.... :)

My baby Canden is getting cuter with every single day! He can say many words now...Can say MAMA, PAPA, JIE JIE, POPO, NAN NAN, MUM MUM....:) can also do HIGH FIVE, CLAP HIS HANDS, SAY BYE BYE, SHAKE HEAD to express 'No'.... :P heheheh....me proud mummy again...not boasting la...but just full of pride...heheheh... :) Brought the kids to Birdpark and Zoo lately...weather real hot but as long as kids are happy....i am happy!

Okies...need to shower, express milk, then rush to fetch kids as need to go mum's place tonight! Stay happy everyone! :)

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR

2009-01-27T18:45:00.005+08:00

Hello Hello! I really apologise for the delayed updates! Been so busy with everything!

Everything has been well for my little Princess & Prince :) & of course my handsome hubby Elebaby!

It was an eventful 2008...many good stuff and many sad stuff too....

lost my favourite ah ma to cancer...lost a good friend James to cancer too....life is real cruel...but i know they will always and foreverin our hearts...we will miss you....I am pretty sure that 2009 will be a fantastic year...a great one...

People who want to put me down must try damn hard...because they will never ever succeed...never....with my children...my hubby....my sister...my bestie Peng and all other good maties like Ting and Ju....things will be great! :)

Daddy is not feeling well today..he has asthma..after 33 years...brought him to the doctor but he is much better now... :) he is a good daddy and always will be my good daddy...though his family is not treating him nice and with respect...our own family of kor, babe and myself and his sons-in-law and daughter-in-law will take good care of him...I don't care why these people are doing these to him but I will do whatever it takes to make him feel good and respected...don't understand why they must be so mean to a most wonderful person like my daddy...I learnt a lot of good stuff from my daddy and he has shown me what honesty, humility, hardwork, kindness and etc. etc. are...and I will carry his legacy to my kiddos...my kiddos are good kiddos! Cadence takes really good care of Canden - a wonderful jie jie! Canden also been reciprocating Jie JIe's love by laughing out the most when Jie Jie jokes and plays with him :) It is soo fun seeing them communicating~

I am a lucky gal...really lucky.... :)

Photos to tell you all more..... :)

My Cadence Princess during her concert on 2 Nov 2008

2008-11-14T03:20:00.004+08:00

My little pretty princess Cadence was BRILLANT during her concert performance on 2 Nov 2008 (Sunday) held at Republic Polytechnic! There were many performances - 2 performances from each branch of her childcare organisation.

She was being selected to perform in both the performances by the Punggol33 branch (both the Nursery and Kindergarten performances! Nursery's item (her class) was a dance item to the Pussycat Doll's SWAY - RED COSTUME & Kindergarten's item was an indian's dance item - BLUE COSTUME). She remembered all her steps and boogied so well! Her teachers commented that she was the BEST & could execute all the dance steps really naturally and well! MUMMY BEAMED WITH PRIDE!!!

I was screaming my lungs till they were bursting when she was performing!!!!! :) When everyone came out to salute thanks to the audience, her school was the last group to come out so they were all standing in front - I screamed and screamed and clapped and clapped till there was no tomorrow!!! Hahahah! Think all parents are like that huh? Their kiddos will always be the best and the nicest! Hahahaha!

We got good seats because we were like 2 hours early for the performance because the teachers told me to get early to get good seats! Cadence could see me waving like a mad monkey from the audience...hahahaha! She was sooo cute :) While waiting, Elebaby and myself watched Tropic Thunder (Elebaby brought his laptop - smart huh?). We moved a table and bench outside the auditorium and had a make-shift mini cinema corner to ourselves! hahahaha!

Carvival Power98

2008-10-26T11:50:00.006+08:00

Deardear signed us up for POWER98 CARVIVAL!

I must say I am indeed getting old! I used to be an athlete & swimmer you know!!! But now I am a LAO AUNTY!! ahahahha!

We had to do different tasks & then accumulate the timing & see which team has the shortest timing! I think our team did real good! We sort of saw other teams' timings & they were not as good as us....heheeheh! Lao Aunty Hao Lian ya?

We did junior game archery (i sucked big time! :P Deardear did good!), human hurdle race (we did damn good!), shoot hoops (we did good! Boon was really great! 3-point shoot effortlessly!), kick soccer ball around cones (we did good! Boon needed Babe to save him!), Road safety park to "drive" the minicars (was real fun & sure a good reminiscence! Boon's legs too long-poor guy so could not drive fast :P)

It was a good memory though... :)

thanks my honey Elebaby :) Love u!

2008-10-26T11:37:00.004+08:00

It has been a long while everyone! I am back! :) Been really busy with work, housework and my wonderful kiddos :)Sometimes I complain to Elebaby that I have endless amount of work....luckily for me, he is a good hubby and good daddy...he helps me with the household chores..always mopping and sweeping even though he is tired from work. He says he wants to keep the place clean for me and the kiddos. :) Most times, I have been real tired from work and he wakes up in the early mornings to feed Baby Canden.
Baby Canden wakes up once in the night now :) we talked to him and told him that Mummy & Daddy need to sleep and rest too and this little fella seems to know and wakes up less. Sometimes he sleeps through! Even when he wakes up, he gives us chances to be aroused from our sleep before feeding him. He will shuffle around in his crib...then makes some tiny grunty noises...then little sobs...n finally big cries if Mummy and Daddy continue to ignore him!!! Luckily, princes Cadence Cheh Cheh sleeps like a pig! Very sound sleeper! She cannot hear him cry so she will not be disturbed and wakes up too...PHEEWWWW! Imagine she wakes up too...then Mummy and Daddy will not be able to sleep...Easy to put Canden to sleep after feed...just pat pat n hum a little and that cutsie pie just doze back off to sleep... :)
Baby Canden calls me MaMa on 25 September 2008 at 7.15pm!!! Only 3+months old!! Me PROUD Mummy! heheheeh! :))) Cadence pretty called me Mama when she was 4 months old and everyone already said she was a fast developer! Amazing huh??! Must be Mummy's BREASTMILK!!! Lots of DHA!!! Yahooo! All the hard work is worth it!!! ALLLL worth it! Now when the little one is distressed, he will call "Maaaaaa......" hehehehe...Then SuperMummy will go to his rescue! If Mummy is tired or busy, Cadence cheh cheh will play, coax and comfort him.... :) I love both my kiddos...they are so cute and kuai....Canden loves his Cheh cheh...when she talks, sings to him..he will look so mesmerise by her! hahahaha! Very cute! My Cadence cheh cheh is a good sister! I love her so so much!
Cadence started her swimming lessons! She was really brave! Think because her coach is a good and friendly one...he sure knows how to reinforce the kiddos! :) She dares to go to the deep big pool now! We go often to Angela babe's condo and Cadence enjoys swimming there...probably in another 2 months, I will let Canden swim with his Cheh Cheh too... :)
Cadence also started her ballet lessons...2 lessons..but she is very terrified...because 1st session, she was shoved, scratched by some other kiddos...n she did all her moves so well but the teacher could not see....there were too many kiddos in the class! 18 kiddos!!! goodness! and many parents...they only allow 1 parent (eugene went in 1st then we exchanged)..some KS parents...both went in so the whole place is crowded....full of regrets...should not have signed up with this school...but paid already...we will see how she is this Sunday...that poor gal was so looking forward to the ballet lessons but the 1st lesson sort of scarred her...like leaving her with PTSD...sheesh...
Baby Canden loves to smile and always attract onlookers...they will always look at him and he will smile back at them...so many people said he is one cute little handsome boy! :) PROUD Mummy again! I apologise for being so prideful but my kiddos and hubby really make me one PROUD MAMA! hehehehe :P He turned prone on 15 October 2008 at 4.00pm while we were in the room watching TV with him on the bed! :) ANother Milestone!
Amazing...! Anyway, Deepavali holiday is coming and enjoy yourselves! Going to conduct a talk later and then see a patient...phew...see ya all! WIth lurve!

Unearthly hours

2008-08-18T05:31:00.004+08:00

Hello all! Now the time is 5.31AM! I have been up since 3.45AM! Baby Canden woke up for his feed so I have to climb out of my comfortable bed...out of the warm and snuggly blanket.... :P But I am MOST willing to do it because my handsome little one is hungry. He has been good! Now he only wakes up once or twice in the unearthly hours for his feeds. I spoke to him and he actually understands!!! Told him mummy and daddy really tired and it would be fantastic if he only wake up once or twice...hehehehe! See this proud Mummy boasting about her kiddos again!

Usually when I wake up to feed him, I will express my milk later on! I have tons of breastmilk! So I will do my work with one hand typing! hahahaha! To maximise my waking hours... :)

We are bringing Cadence to take the Cable Car later and then to Sentosa for the Luge and Skyride and then to Chinatown Heritage Centre! It is her 4th BIRTHDAY! My little princess is a big gal now! She has been very good ever since her Didi Canden came along! Everytime when Didi cries and Mummy or Daddy is busy, we will ask her to help out to calm him. She will assume our roles and turn into a small "adult". She will sing to him, pat him or play with him. That little fella will respond to her very well. He will just calm down, listen to her and stare at her!!! :) Think it was because Cadence talked and sang to him a lot when Canden was still in my uterus! Antenatal really works friends! Believe me! Cadence is my little angel! My big angels? My best buddy Peng Peng, my sister Angela and of course, my hubby Ele! :)

Next week is my kiddos' Godpapa's Birthday and we are gonna celebrate at their place! YEAH!!! Godpapa cooking for all of us! He is making Japanese "not-so-hot" curry (just because of his little goddaughter Cadence requested for "not-so-hot" curry)!!! YUM! YUM! I can already imagine and drooling at that thought!!!

More pics of my kiddos (Everyone has been saying Cadence looks more and more like me and Canden looks like Eugene so I wore the plastic play specs for me to see if he looked like Eugene! hahaahah! Mad Mummy!) and me! I was "cam-whoring"! Hahahah! :)

Okies...need to go snooze now.... :P

My little Prince CANDEN

2008-07-21T12:48:00.002+08:00

Long time no "see" everyone! It has been a long while :) Hope everyone has been good!

I have delivered & my little cutie, handsome prince is more than a month old now :)

As I am typing, I am expressing milk!! Yesh!! I am a productive mummy "cow"! MOOOOOooo! I have a looooot of breastmilk like the time before with Cadence!

Canden is beside me-sound a sleep. He is so so cute :) Loves to smile & he has cute DIMPLES! Many friends told me he looks ang mo!!! ONE word! HANDSOME!!!!

I lurve him so much! Some of you might wonder why I did not blog about my pregnancy much...reason: My mum is superstitious & said that I should not say so much before baby born otherwise not good for baby....whatever the case, Canden is healthy & growing real strong! Very good neck control & strong arms & legs. Growing tall real fast too!!

My princess Cadence is a wonderful cheh cheh :) loving Canden alot! Sings to him, rocks him to sleep, pats him, winds the music for him....doing everything she sees me & Elebaby do.... :) She was insecure initially but now better as we reassure her all the time that she is important! :)

THANK YOU to everyone who visited us at the hospital and at our home! Thank you for all the wonderful gifts & ang pows!! The nurses said we must be really popular to get so many gifts! Heeeheeee! MOST IMPORTANTLY, all the LOVE we get from you..... :)

Especially my best buddy PENG!!! You have been most wonderful! not forgetting Gen Liang!

(my kiddos' Godparents!)

My kiddo Sis babe ANGELA!!!! not forgetting Boon! Real big Ang Pow & love!

My Baby Sister is a MRS!

2008-04-09T12:42:00.004+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE!!! Long time no see and no hear!

Apologies apologies that I have not been updating my bloggie.

A lot of things have happened and I have been up and down of moods.

Firstly, to those who do not know about this :) I am 6 months pregnant! Boy or girl?? hahahha! Call me and I will let you know :) I did not say anything earlier becuz Mum was superstitious and said better not announce till baby was stable...closer buddies would have known that I was pregnant :) he hehe.... I am indeed happy becuz Cadence princess is really happy and she is an angel! She has been talking to baby since the day she knew I was pregnant! :) Telling stories, singing songs and patting baby....she was so excited when we told her I am pregnant that she announced to all her friends and teachers. "Mummy is pregnant! There is a baby in Mummy's womb!" The teachers heard her using the word "womb" and they knew I was really pregnant becuz before I was pregnant, she went around telling teachers I was pregnant becuz she wanted to be a "Cheh cheh". :) Just that baby is getting bigger and I have problems sleeping due to heat, stretching of baby and backpain... :P but Eugene has been great! He has been doing a lot of housework and massaging me...This man is great... :P He he...me praising my hubby again.... :)

Another happy news! My baby sister is a MRS!!!! She looked so pretty that day! Just like a princess from a fairy tale!!!! The dresses made her looked even prettier! n of course, my Bibi aka Babe has always been beautiful!!! She is smart, kind, pretty, lovely, generous, hardworking, friendly, humble...everything nice la!!!! I was so happy to see her married to Kian Boon (whom I take as my brother-in-law long long time ago)! A great guy matches a wonderful lady! My 2 sweethearts! I was the emcee that day and it was good!!!! My babe and boon bro booked a room for me, Ele and Cadence becuz they were worried we will be tired...nice right? :) I just love the 2 of them so much too! Cadence enjoyes going to their condo almost every Saturday becuz she could swim there (most of the time it rains :p)...but more importantly, she loves her version of HIDE n SEEK with YIYI n UNCLE BOON...she will specifically tell them where to hide and then she goes looking for them....muah hahaha! She is funny ya? :)

Will put in more pics soon!!! Love & miss u all!

My Sweet Princess Ballerina CADENCE

I was feeling so guilty & bad lately. I have been so busy with my work and constantly pounding away on my laptop because of work. Just 3 days ago, I was rushing for a big proposal for a big client-to-be. I was doing my work in the living room while Cadence was drinking her milk and watching her cartoons in the Master Bedroom. I got worried because I did not know what she was doing in the room and asked her to come out to the living room to be with me.

The amazing and obedient little fella followed my instructions. She turned off the television program (her cartoons!!!), turned off the fan (we taught her to save electricity so she must turn off main switch as well) and came out to the living room without fussing a single bit at all. I think she knew that I was tired from all my work. Amazing. Thank you Gohonzon for giving me such a wonderful angel (she can be a monster at times but most of the times, she is my little angel).

She came into the living room. Played on her own. She played with her Hula hoop first. Then she played with her Jigsaw puzzle. Then she quietly coloured in her book. I was just observing her and felt so so so so so proud of her. She did not come to disturb me a single bit. Occassionally, she would ask me how her colouring was.

Sometimes I can be hard on her when she is playful. Eugene reminded me that she is still a kiddo after all. Maybe I expect too much from her. I don't expect her to be a genius but she must be an obedient girl.

I feel bad. I must remember to play with her more. Sing with her. She likes it when I sing with her or play with her. She is a good kiddo.

Photo was when she was just a little baby. My baby girl has grown up. She is a pretty, confident, obedient....little girl now. I love her so much.

We always whisper to each other how much we love each other. :) I taught her the I LOVE YOU (I - pointing to eyes, LOVE - arms crossed at chest level, YOU - pointing to each other). We always do that to each other since she was 18 mths old.

I Love Cadence so so so much. Girl girl, thank you for being patient with Mummy. Thank you for understanding my work. Mummy will promise to do less work when you are around.

Swimming at Yiyi's and Uncle's Boon Condo

2008-01-12T05:18:00.000+08:00

Cadence adores both Yiyi & Uncle Boon! It is also great that they love her back as much as she loves them! She is having a splashing good time with Yiyi & Uncle Boon at their Condo! :)

Mummy & Daddy lazing around because Mummy did not want to get into the waters that day :) Lucky I have a sister who will take care of my kiddo ya! I asked Babe before if Eugene & myself were not to be around (choi choi choi, right? ;) but we can never predict the future right?), would she take care of my Princess Ballerina - She answered immediately without hesitation - "Of course, I will love her with all my heart!" I know I can count on Babe & Boon :)

I think I want to swim the next round! The waters were so tempting but of course, Mummy did not bring her swimming gear along! Sheesh ya! :)

Playing with Ikea cups bowls and drawing Daddy and Mummy

2008-01-12T05:00:00.000+08:00

Our Princess Ballerina has sooo sooo many toys and yet she loves to ransack the kitchen for "new toys"! She will take out containers, bowls and cups to play! Like these Ikea Cups and Bowls! Can be her Binoculars! She enjoys having her pictures taken and of course like to take pictures of Daddy & Mummy as well! *I was in the toilet by the way :P*

She loves to role-play as well! Ironing the clothes and of course wanting to be a big cheh cheh
and taking care of her green bear :)

She loves to draw as well! Probably due to Daddy's Creative Director's genes and hey! Mummy is creative too ya! The one with long maggi hair sticking out of the head is sincerely moi! hahahah! Nice huh! I was wearing specs that day when she drew me as you can see from the drawing! Now we have fingers coming out of our arms and we have nice feet too! not bad huh!

She surprised me again today! Taught me the difference between "Vertical" & "Horizontal" lines! I went to pick her up from her Childcare and she asked me, "Mummy, do you know what a VERTICAL line is? Also, do you know what a HORIZONTAL line is?" Goodness! When I was 3 years old, I think I bearly knew what a LINE was! Kiddos nowadays! SCARYYYYY! Her teachers say she really pay attention during classes. Most importantly, I just wish for my Princess Ballerina to be healthy and happy always! Daddy has the brains, Mummy has the brains - so Princess Ballerina Cadence can't be that bad! Muah hahahah! Self-praise again! :P

I LOVEEEEE my Elebaby & Princess Ballerina Cadence!

FIRST DAY IN NURSERY

2008-01-11T18:57:00.000+08:00

Our little Princess Ballerina is growing up fast! Her first day as a Nursery student & wearing her new BIG GIRL uniform! She was so excited! We also bought her new socks & new cool track shoes with light (it brightens up when she walks) - she has been asking us for a long time but I kept delaying because I don't want her to think that she will get anything she wants when she requests for it. :)

She is getting prettier ya! Everyone says she is looking more & more like me! AHEM! meaning Mummy is pretty too la! Even the BAN MIAN aunty downstairs say "Your girl girl same same face like you hor! So pretty!"

A wonderful end to a fruitful year 2007!

2007-12-22T09:47:00.000+08:00

I bought my princess Cadence a mini chocolate LOGCAKE! & Boy, was she happy! She enjoyed eating it! & of course, the whole little family had a jolly, good time making funny faces! :) Even Santa (Popo bought it for Cadence - he can sing!) tried making his version of funny faces! hahaha!
Cadence set up the Christmas tree! Actually, more like Daddy-O set it up! Hahahah! Green Bear tried to help too! Cadence loves making funny faces! She is one cute little girl! Our little precious!
Renovation at my little cosy clinic! My partner Lydia is wonderful! Her brother, parents and hubby have been helping us! Jes, Alan & Claire sent us a beautiful floral stand to give us tons of congrats and luck for our opening! Yeah! Friends forever!
Opening Ceremony - Little Private Affair with the families :) When we open a bigger place, everyone will definitely be invited! 16 December 2007 (Sunday) at 2.30pm
Our Holistic Therapy Clinic & Academy Pte Ltd will succeed! Watch out for us ya! Everyone was so happy for us! Especially the little girlies! hahhahahah!
Thank you all for giving your support! My wonderful families (Elebaby, Cadence, Daddy, Mummy, Babe, Boon, Kor, Da Sao, Papa, Mimi, Popo, Sherwin (for the orchid)! My wonderful friends (Peng Peng, GL, Jes & Alan)!
I love you all! I will work very very hard! :)

My Gorgeous Babe Sister & Brother-in-Law

2007-12-07T11:01:00.000+08:00

Babe's & Boon's wedding is coming!!!! Next Year! I am so so happy for them! Made a Wedding Video compilation for them (their childhood photos)! No matter how old Babe gets, she will ALWAYS BE MY BABY SISTER! Not that she acts like a baby, just that I will always love and protect her like she is my baby sister. Past, Present & Future. She is GORGEOUS ya! Of course, my Boon Bro is HANDSOME too! :)

My 2 Darlings!

2007-11-28T05:26:00.000+08:00

I had the help of my 2 darlings on Thursday night 22 November! I was doing last minute work for my gift vouchers to be given away for a big event at a big company for the next day (23 Nov 2007).

Elebaby was busy stapling my Clinic's address on the beautiful vouchers he designed for me (it is great to have a hubby who is a Creative Director - his mind is ALWAYS BURSTING with Creative juices & ideas! Amazing man, my Man!)! My beautiful Princess Cadence was busy sorting out the stapled vouchers and then passing them back to me. It was a wonderful feeling to know that my little family will stand by me in no matter what I do. :) I am such a lucky lady....*BLISSSSSSSS*

To me, they are my everything....really everything....

Cadence's vocabulary is super powerful! All my friends are always darned impressed by this little fella! She can easily recite Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Just ask her which day is before and after which day - this kiddo will pause, think for a second and give you the answer. Her teachers said she has a super memory and good attention span while learning in school...! Play memory game with her...whhoooooo! You will be darned impressed again....hhhmmm....Mummy contemplating to bring her to the future IR...hee heee...win some big money ya! BUT she is too little for now.... :)We don't flash cards or do anything to make her like that...At home, it is just PLAY and MORE PLAY!!! I believe in PLAY! I believe in talking to her...share real life stories with her like Dad & Mum used to do with me....It makes learning more interesting than just books, books, books...eeks....

Before I go, watched a great movie on Hallmark Channel (check out - http://www.joanbrock.com/more_than_meets_the_eye_movie_update.htm) last night....liked what the main character (Joan Brock) said..."Why do people always go "WHY ME? WHY ME? When something happened to them...Why don't they just day "WHY NOT? It can happen to anyone and then move on with life." Totally agree, sometimes some of us just indulge in too much self-pity....never do that....If you ever fall into this pithole, pull yourself out immediately...move on....You can see a prettier picture if you allow yourself to move on.... :)

I like to see myself grow stronger when I meet with difficult situations. Don't see that I am always cheery and happy, I have had my fair shares of problems but I always have support from family and good friends and of course the strong, stubborn will to pull myself out and prove my worth. I have achieved something great and I will continue doing so. Look out for Linda Chen-Foong, there is more to come from her.... :)

Love you all...my great family and friends...! my Elebaby, Cadence, Daddy, Mummy, Babe Angela, Peng, Ting....more out there.... :+ Muakums!

Happy happy

2007-11-17T07:47:00.000+08:00

I am a HAPPY girl once more :) :)
Went to see 3 places yesterday for our future clinic.
The first place - I fell in love with it. It is cosy, bright and clean. Just the place to start our first clinic.
It is very convenient and has a lift to the place (it is like a private lift because there are no other offices or shops at that level). It also has a washroom to itself. Perfect for my patients in the future :)
I am so so so happy. :) :)
Business doing well. Cadence growing well. Elebaby doing well too.

heartbroken

2007-11-06T14:37:00.001+08:00

Today is greyish day for me....
Heartbroken....
Think I care too much for my students....I don't know if they know but I really put in my heart & soul to teach them. The school is not conducive. It does not provide a lot of study materials. I use my own time at home to prepare for my students. When I see them eager to learn, I really get very happy....It makes me want to do more for them.
I do not want to claim for any credit...as long as they pass with flying colours, I am a happy teacher. I am just a consultant lecturer with the school but I don't think I will want to continue teaching there because my partner & myself will start our own academy very soon.
When 1 student turned up late, I merely asked the student to turn up early & anger sparks flew from the student. Was soo shocked.....Heart went into rapid beats...I was just worried that we are running out of time to teach them....sigh...was indeed disappointed and disheartened...
All that I put in for this? BUT I will be strong....this is just a small matter....to me every negative thing is something to push me further to be a better person.

Grandma has late stage 3 Uterine Cancer....

2007-10-25T09:48:00.000+08:00

Ah Ma has Uterine Cancer...late stage 3....
I feeeel very sad...real sad...but I tell myself I have to be strong...
I wanna make her happy...make her smile...
I wanna generate more Endorphins in her...Don't wanna see her cry....
All the gods, angels in heaven...please hear my prayers...Please don't take my ah ma away...please...
She has been telling me to have a 2nd baby so she can make her nice, super yummy pig stomach's soup for me...I have been putting it off due to own selfish reasons and work...
I am such a twerb...such an idiot...told her I will work hard on the baby making...I wanna her to see my next baby..I wanna her to hold the baby in her arms...
I wanna her to be still around...
Lovely memories of ah ma just floats around me now...
I remembered when I was a little gal..I was super dehydrated and sick and was admitted to hospital....Ah Ma saw Mummy & Daddy so tired that she took over to stay with me overnight in the hospital...She slept on the unconfortable sofa after she tugged me into my comfortable bed....When the nurses came in abruptly into my room to take my temperature constantly...she would jump and asked..."what's wrong?" even though she did not understand them...she was worried about me....Please please don't take my ah ma away...please don't....
Why is that we will only learn something when something happens?
I am a twerb....a twerb...
I am sick today...got the bug from princess...and I have an afternoon workshop later...I would have to put on my smiles again and pretend that nothing happens...I will go over and see ah ma again...no excuses this time round...no more stupid selfish reasons...
Gohonzon and all the gods and angels above, please take care of my ah ma...please please don't take her away...please....

My students

2007-10-19T01:16:00.000+08:00

I am a proud teacher of 7 students!

I really enjoy teaching them very much! I am very confident that all of them will pass & get their Diploma in Holistic Massage! :)

I was having a high fever the night before as well as yesterday. Elebaby kept telling me to take the day off & to inform my students. However, I insisted to go and teach as I have already informed them to study for the 2 tests I have developed for them & did not want them to be disappointed if I did not turn up.

Took panadol & slept. Fever still persisted but seeing my students so motivated made me happy & found that it was all worthwhile. PLUS point, little Cadence was so cheerful yesterday. Gave me a great beary hug, kiss, high five, low five, baby five, tingling fingers, fingers snap snap...hahahah! She has so many "patterns" nowadays!!!! :)

Another PLUS point, Elebaby gave me a nice smoochie & patted on my head!. OKies! I was all ready for the day :)

I am a lucky gal...! I love my life now! Company is doing well! Everything seems to fall into their pieces...! Heaven is kind to me & Gohonzon is looking after me....BUT of course, I AM working very very hard...Must give credit to myself too ya!

Okies..need to snooze...it is 1.22am...just completed another test for my students. :)

Tata everyone! I'll be back!

Batam trip

2007-10-02T05:49:00.000+08:00

Our little princess ballerina Cadence sure looks cute ya!
We enjoyed ourselves totally! Baby enjoyed the pool and jumping on the bed in the room!
Elebaby enjoyed his room service! He always loves room service...we go to every hotel and he must try every room service - especially their FISH AND CHIPS!!!! So ask him for the best ya?!
I enjoyed the 3hr spa program...so relaxing...hmmm...will definitely go back again :)
Been busy lately but real happy!
I am an associate lecturer/trainer now at a spa academy...nice teaching and students are way good! Motivated and passionate about their work!
:)
I have started a new company with a friend - HOLISTIC THERAPY LLP!
AURORATHERAPY is still functioning - more into direct patient care.
Holistic is into wellness programs - health talks, workshops, courses, on-site massage, retail products...refer deals to me ya! Will have nice deals back to you :)
I am enjoying my life right now!
Love you all!

I did a mini "Starfish" act...

2007-09-22T08:06:00.000+08:00

Had a great time with Elebaby & little princess Cadence last weekend at Batam Harris Resort. Will put up pics soon :)
Had a fantastic spa treatment for 3 hours. As I know how to speak some Melayu, the massage therapist was thrilled & starting talking to me at the start of the treatment & at the end of the treatment.
My heart ached real bad when I heard her story. She has 2 kiddos, eldest 8 year old, youngest only 1 year old. Her husband left her shortly after the 2nd kiddo was borned. She told me her husband was very lazy and never worked. Her older sister is helping her take care of her kiddos while she worked.
She works from 7am to 10pm everyday. 15 hours!!! Lunch time is less than 1hour and meals are not provided. Guessed her wage??? Only S$80.00 per month!!!!! If she requests for day off, she will not be paid for that rest day. Sigh....when she travels home, she needs to take the cab because it is late at night and she hardly has chances to see her kiddos as they will be asleep & when she rushes to work in the morning, they are still asleep.
I feel so lucky and fortunate.
People might think that she is trying to get tips from me but I highly doubt because I went to the spa in my sundress & my glasses. I did not bring any forms of cash at all.
Think it is because I can speak her language and can feel for her.
Her massage skills are excellent. Her name is Dedek. The next time I go there, I will look for her again.
I went back to the spa to give her a tip of S$15.00. She looked so happy that there were tears in her eyes. Think she did not expect me to go back to the spa. It was quite a distance from the main resort and it was pouring.
S$15 is nothing to most of us but it meant a great deal to her. This was my mini "Starfish" act.

Not very happy...

2007-09-05T20:49:00.000+08:00

Not very happy today.

Seen my patients and it was all ok. I love my patients and they make me feel happy all the time.

This is because they all appreciate me...

I feel that Ele's mother & Popo take me for granted...

They always remind me "how lucky" & "how fortunate" & "how blessed" I am...to be Ele's wife.

of course I am...but I just don't like it when they keep telling me that...

They don't know that I cook, wash and do so much so much for Ele...Popo always thinks I cannot cook...She always says that of me..."You will not know one, you don't know how to cook...." Sigh...I told her before I cook very often for Ele and I am a good cook...but of course, she only hears what she wants to....They probably think Ele does all the housework and I am a tai-tai who shakes her legs at home...why? why? why? Sigh....

I always tell them Ele is much luckier to have me as his wife...I try my very best to be a good wife, good mummy, good daughter-in-law and good grand daughter-in-law...

sometimes it is real tiring...Ele appreciates me but I really doubt if his family does...nowadays I tell myself not to be bothered with them....it is way too tiring...but I am human too...I get affected when they always do that...Sometimes I want to run away from them...Sometimes I don't feel like seeing them at all....I feel I have done my part...but I cannot run away...I will not do that because I love Ele too much...I know Ele is their son & grandson...but I am a daughter & granddaughter to my Mummy & Granny....I am their precious too...guessed no matter what...I am not blood relation to them so it will be like that....Even when I say so much so much, feel so much so much...I still love them too...I am like that...heart way too soft..sigh...

I will be okies...Just want to say all these out tonight so I can sleep better...BUT looking at Cadence clears all my sorrows and troubles... :) She is my PERK-ME-UP!

CADENCE'S 3RD BIRTHDAY

Meet-up with Meng Meng

2007-08-17T16:57:00.001+08:00

Mmmm.....why did I put up the Powerpuff Girls cartoon? :) Some of you might be asking...
This is because of Meng Meng. She told me in the past when we were working together that we were Powerpuff girls. She was Buttercup (in green), Ting Ting was Bubbles (in blue) and I was Blossom (in pink-coincidentally by favourite colour!)
I met up with Meng Meng on Wednesday!! She came back for a short break and she brought with her GOOOOD news!!!! She is gonna be made a SPECIALIST soon! A Registrar-to-be!!! In GENERAL SURGERY! Amazing huh! This is not easy feat but she is a smart lady! I always knew that when she was a Physiotherapist mate at CGH! I am so happy for her! :)
It is always wonderful to meet up with a friend...and of course, Meng Meng is not just any friend, she will be one of those friends that I will keep for life.
She still looks good and young! I am so waiting to go to Sydney for her special moment and bring along a truckload of jelly beans...maybe not truckload la...*hahahahah*
What special moment and what Jellybeans...*hahaahahah* *suspense suspense*

Cutie Pie...

2007-08-02T06:25:00.000+08:00

Cadence in her funny self! :) This cute, little fella makes us laugh all the time!

She is getting better :) Fever has subsided...37.4 degrees & not 38.6 degrees anymore!

*Happy Mummy!*

But Mummy is ill....sore throat, low grade fever & phlegmy nose...

Met my ex-colleague xiao mei at CGH yesterday :) ~Julia~ Nicey to meet a lovely and familiar face in a familiar yet unfamiliar place (CGH)...you know what i mean? I started out as an OT there... :P This young lady has potential...I knew it when she first started out as an OT..she genuinely loves the elderly...like myself, she loves lao lang (the elderly...i call them lao lang affectionately..no ageism intended her ya?) Julia will flourish...she will...I know she will :)

CGH brings many happy memories...however, sad to add..many heart pain ones...but I have grown and those heart aches I prefer to let go... no point hanging to them..I made many good friends over there...many have left the place but we are still in contact...there are some good ones left...you all know who I meant - my good friends still there... :) Too all of you, I miss you all...I really do...

At Peng's house 2 weeks before her wedding

2007-07-27T05:16:00.000+08:00

Cadence loves to smile!

She can be a real naughty at times but most of the time, she is an angel :)

She loves taking photographs too!

Check it out!

Photos of Elebaby, myself, Peng & Gen Liang were taken by her!

Not bad right?!

She is not even 3 yet!

I am a proud Mummy la! Indulge me ya? ;)

Our Princess Ballerina Cadence

2007-07-27T05:07:00.000+08:00

Ain't she sweet & pretty?

She called herself Princess Ballerina. Didn't teach her... :)

Babe (Angela) & Mummy did her hair! Really pretty right???

She has not been feeling well since Saturday...brought her to see doctor..

Her Teacher said she probably got it from her friends. They said there were 2 kiddos sick but parents did not bring them home. Maybe parents were busy and have no one to care for the kiddos but I really hope these parents can make arrangements otherwise germs will fly & other kiddos will get sick. The teachers told me they get very frustated because sometimes those parents give the "heck care" attitude. Even teachers fall ill because they get the bug from the kiddos. I kept her at Mum's place...Mum was nice...took good care of her :) She is ok now!

She ate one big bowl of rice and fish with tomato & vegetable soup today!!!

Does she look like Elebaby or me? Many people said she looked like Elebaby when she was born...now many said she has combine looks of Mummy & Daddy! Yeah! As long as she is healthy, we are happy :)

*Contented Parents*

Angela's ROM

2007-07-23T10:40:00.000+08:00

She looks so pretty huh! She is the nicest doctor I ever known...she is terrific...patients under her will be sooo lucky...and you know what..?? I am a butt hitter! ARGH!!! And ANGELA is my very first "victim"~~~ Muah hahaha! Lucky gal ya??? :)

Enjoy!

Migrainneee..

2007-07-18T13:13:00.000+08:00

Migraine attack again...at least not so often as before...
Puked a couple of times...think i puked bile out...
*don't think about it, one word - GROSS*
Had a talk but luckily my friend/colleague helped me out...such wonderful lady..
she was running a workshop & she is rushing to & fro to help me out..
*I will remember this* - Thank you Lydia.... :)

I am lucky... :)

2007-07-16T12:28:00.000+08:00

I am lucky...really lucky..have a patient's maid...really feel for her but I can't do anything for her. All I can do is to give her my listening ear & a warm pat when she tears.
She has 3 daughters in Philippines. 7 years old, 5 years old & 3 years old. All pretty and sweet! The second girl has hearing impairment & has difficulty communicating. Also they don't have enough money to send her to a special school. Now they are waiting for funds from an organisation. She also told me that her youngest always cry because mummy is not around. Everytime she says this, her eyes turned red and watery. I can tell she is missing her kids very much.
As for me, I am soooo lucky...I have my hubby and girl girl around. Sometimes I feel down & I will slap myself in the face..."Goodness, Linda...wake up from your silly misery...your life cannot be better..."
Some people have to work really hard for their money...not easy...I cannot imagine myself away from my hub & girl for 2 years...really cannot...I salute them...
JIA YOU is what I tell the maid...initially she did not understand me..but she smiles when I tell her that...

Pretty Cadence & Mummy

2007-07-04T10:11:00.000+08:00

Not feeling very well today...But still need to go see patients later.

:) Still need to iron clothes later as well so can do more laundry...

*pain* i never like ironing but job needs to be done and I will do it.

Poor deardear looked so tired when he woke up this morning...must give him chicken essence later...partially my fault 'cuz I talked to him till late (till about 2am) :P I like talking to my Elebaby...

Somehow he comforts me... :)

Cadence woke up a little teary this morning but with Mummy's big smile and hug, she returned Mummy with a bigger, cuter smile and a nicey hug!

What will Linda be without her Elebaby and Angel-pie Cadence?? No where..no where... :)

I breathe because of them...they are my reason to live... :)

Today I make a big wish....

I wish...I wish...

Happiness and Love to all my family and friends...

I want them to know that I will be happy when they are happy...

Diggg me a 2nd hole.... :P

2007-06-15T21:45:00.000+08:00

My little princess fell ill after the Kuala Lumpur road trip. If you asked me how the trip was...*bleah* will be the answer...

I did not enjoy myself at all.

I had more fun when I last went with my sister Babe, daddy, mummy and little Cadence. The drive was great because Elebaby was a good and safe driver. He kept thinking of Cadence and me while he was driving. I tried keeping awake to talk to him and giving him neck rubs.

Maybe I have shopped enough in Bangkok and did not find anything necessary to buy at KL. I was pretty lethargic too because I rushed to do all the laundry and ironing before the road trip. I am also not a big shopper as I usually shop when I need stuff.

Hahaha! BUT something Elebaby said that made me happy....hhahah! I remembered my dear...We were sitting outside KLCC's Tiffany & Co. (because Cadence was tired and fell asleep) and he told me he would buy me something really nice from Tiffany & Co. YAHOO! *Happy like a bird* When I was much younger (not that I am really old now..haha!), I had little interest in diamonds...but NOW....mention the word DIAMOND...my pupils will DILATE! My breathing HASTENS! My heart JUMPS! You know what I mean ya? Think it is an age thing?? BUT I am not greedy Elebaby...just a 3-carat rock will do for me...hee hee! NOT granite rock ya?

Okies...why is my title "Diggg me a 2nd hole..."??? Let me explain...Brought the little sweetheart to the GP..we were waiting for our turn when a big-sized lady walked in...Cadence sat up real straight, eyes real big and exclaimed loudly, "MUMMY, AUNTY HAS A BIIIIIGGGGGGGGG BACKSIDEEEEEE! WAAAAAA!" The other patients wanted to burst out laughing but they tried to control badly. That lady was offended but she pretended not to hear and refused to look at me or galgal. Goodness...! I could have "died" there..Kiddos...they are just soooo honest huh? Whispered into her ears that it was impolite to say that. She listened and tried to be polite but still kept looooking at that lady. *Linda trying desperately trying to dig a hole*

Like this was not enough, she watched the television program and they had a small segment on Teochew Opera show. She asked me what it was about...Yeah...Lots of "why"s, "what"s, "How come"s..etc...

Told her it was an Opera show...and she went..."OHHHH...BRA..is it???" and kept on poking at my bra...yupz..everyone looked at me again...She thought OPERA is OHH BRA....!!!! Took me some time to explain to her.

Hard to believe that she is ill huh? She is really sick like a poor puppy...coughing, sneezing, fever, throat itchy...still not really well yet...my heart really aches when I see her like that...

BUT don't worry everyone, she is getting better! Will let you all know when I will dig some more holes...hahaha!

I want my dream vehicle...

2007-06-06T10:19:00.000+08:00

So mad when driving to work today. I have low blood pressure since a kiddo but with driving on the Singapore roads, my BP has risen to the normal range. Yupz...driving is *killing* me...

For one, I am a female driver. Secondly, my car is small & cute (Hello Kitty decal on the bonnet, 2 pink stripes running down the entrie length of the car, 4 Hello Kitty window decal shades, 2 smaller Hello Kitty decals on my front sidedoors, not to forget...my Hello Kitty car apparrels (seat covers, safety belt covers, mirror, steering wheel cover, tissue box, pink mashi maro brake & clutch covers-cannot find Hello Kitty ones-all kind *donation gifts* from Ele, Peng, Angela Bibi, Cheeks)

Yeah yeah.....i know a lot of people will say "serve me right for being bullied on the roads"...don't let me hear you though...if I hear you...will go and crack your heads....muah hahah! Yupz..I am THAT violent...see my BP still high from the morning drive.

Okies, about the morning drive...I was trying to exit and of course I always signal...this *dumb dumb*-no vulgarities...I am controlling myself here...

This mimi lorry sped up and gave me a loud honk! I calmed myself down....*whatever dude*

Do you know what he did???? He sped up (he was also ferrying workers - at least 8 of them)...cut just right in front of me...it was really narrow but I managed to slow down!!! Car behind me was shocked as well!!! So tell me, what was he trying to prove?? I really don't know and cannot be bothered...

I just know I want an OPTIMUS PRIME for my next vehicle!!!!! I will crash him....then I will transform (okies, imagine you are hearing the Transformers song in the background)....and then CRUSSSSSSHHHHHHHH him...yupz..that is what I will do... :P

*Muah hahahahaha* Scared leh...

Diggg...me a hole pleassseee....

About 2 weeks ago, Elebaby asked me to meet him at Harbourfront. I did not want to drive so parked car at home and took the MRT to meet Ele. Little Cadence was with me of course. She was good for the entire trip but I just need to share a moment of the trip with all of you.

We were sitting at the corner seats (definitely not the "share & care" seats - the seats reserved for elderly & mummies) and we were playing and chatting throughout the trip. When we reached Serangoon station, a group of manual workers came in (I don't mean to be rude or put down any occupation ya?).

Imagine this.....

Baby immediately pinched her nose and went into a frenzy of choking..."arghhh...arghh..*cough cough* Mummy!!! SooooOOOO SMMEEELLLLLLYYYYYY! Arrrgghhh...!"

A well-dressed gentleman stood on the side of the glass panel (very close to baby).

Imagine again....

Baby still with her nose pinched very hard..."Mummy, mummy! Is it HIIIMMMMM?" Our little Cadence with 1 finger pinching her nose and the other little finger pointing at the man!

*GOODNESS* Everyone around me was secretly laughing & smiling. They all thought little Cadence was cute! She was just being honest but she got the "smell" wrong. I gave an apologetic and awkward smile to that man. Luckily, he was real nice....

"HOLE! Holeee! Give me a hole so I can hide in it...!"

Of course, there was no hole so I tried distracting Cadence with the Scissors, Paper, Stone Game and her little packets of gummy sweets. She still refused to un-pinch her little nose.

Luckily, that group of workers got off quite soon, followed by the gentleman...

PHEWWW....

Hahahaha! Kiddos ya? They are just sooo real...

This little fellow gives me tons of joy! Not forgetting moments of embarrassment!

Our Wedding Photos - 16 March 2002

2007-05-25T12:25:00.000+08:00

After I did up Peng's wedding photos to put in my blog, I thought about my own wedding....My wonderful wedding and marriage with Eugene aka Elebaby aka Summersea aka Daddy-O aka my Chee Cheong Fun...my love...

It has been a terrific 5+ years of marriage! Elebaby is the bestest~~ hubby any girl can wish for...he is my knight in shiny armour! A wonderful hubby, an amazing lover, a loving daddy to Cadence...he helps me out with household chores, he pats me when I don't feel well, he massages me when I am tired, he takes care of Cadence when I am lethargic...He is just so amazing...!

BUT of course, I LOVE him back even more...tons more...just last night, he bought me tons of DVDs to watch because I merely made a statement that I wished we would have more DVDs to enjoy...He really takes care of me very well...His Popo always says that I am lucky to have him...Yes...I am indeed lucky...AND of course, Elebaby is Lucky to have me too...I try to be the best kind of wife I can be for him...I take care of him too...Look at him, he always looks happy and handsome right? *hee hee* I cook for him as often as I can because I know he doesn't like outside food...Just last night, I made his favourite Spinach soup (with fishballs), Grilled Chicken Drumsticks, Grilled Oysters Mushrooms with abalone sauce & baked beans with Brown rice...I know it is a very simple meal...BUT he always enjoys the food I make...Always tells me that I am a good cook...I love you Eugene...Given another chance, I would want to marry you again and again and again...

You mean the world to me....

Enjoy the wedding photos! Do we look good together? :)

Peng & Gen Liang's Wedding Photos Montage

2007-05-25T10:23:00.000+08:00

My best buddy Peng is getting hitched! 21st July 2007! Yeah! I have been hoping & wishing for this day to arrive! *Happiness & tears in the eyes*

Peng is my closest buddy...without her friendship & support, I would not have grown stronger as a person. She taught me that love can be selfless for a friend too... *beaming with tears*

When I was in Sydney studying, she called so frequently to check on me...When I got married, she desperately wanted to get the air ticket to return but flights were fully booked....

When she was in Perth studying, she called again so frequently to maintain our friendship...She is a friend indeed...When I was pregnant, she was with me all the time...When the nurse from KKH called me & informed me that Cadence might have Down Syndrome, I called Eugene & Peng immediately...Peng was at Hougang working...she left her work and rushed to me almost instantly, followed by Eugene...tell me...how can I find another friend like that? Peng is for keeps... My buddy, my confidante, my sister forever... *and ever*

Look at the photos....so nice...both look so happy and very much in love.... *love is in the air*

I can't help looking at the photos again and again... :)

Peng once told me that she is happy that I am happy and she doesn't mind if she does not find a soulmate...I slapped her butt for that nonsense. I told her that I strongly believe that she already has one waiting for her but this person is hiding and we just need to "hunt" the person down.

With the help of JuJu & ZhiMing, we found Gen Liang! *VOILA!*

I had a good feeling about Gen Liang & kept bugging Peng to consider him. *hee hee*

But alas! Someone else was interested in Peng...a very rich & nice doctor...BUT somehow...I still felt that Gen Liang & Peng had a special connection & secretly informed Gen Liang that someone else was asking Peng out... *guilty face* Luckily, this bro did not let me down... :) He started contacting Peng & the rest is history... :) They will be ONE on 21st July 2007 (Saturday)!

Peng Peng is sooo pretty ya? She should dress up more often! In dresses too buddy! *Elebaby is going to say me - "Dear, you don't wear dresses very often too..." *oops, another guilty look*

I wish for happiness, love, warmth, pitter patter of little feet, luck, health & all good things on this earth to behold my buddy Peng & Gen Liang!

Life is never easy & sometimes there are many pebbles on the road...BUT I promise you that I will be there to pick up the pebbles and put them in jars & when we grow old with wrinkles & white hair, we will look at the jars and realise that they actually look pretty & they are meant to be there to strengthen our lives...I am also very sure that Gen Liang will be the big big umbrella to shelter you from the scorching sun & blazing rain... :)

Gen Liang, love Peng like no one else would...please help me take good care of my bestest buddy!

Can't wait for 21st July 2007 to come! A pretty bride & handsome groom on the wayyyyy!

Cadence's homework

2007-05-20T18:22:00.000+08:00

Cadence is really a smart girl! :)

We always enjoy her wit and talent! One of her homework to show-off to all of you! :)

*elephant*

Amazing huh?

Daddy-O is a big lover of elephants and my little one loves elephants too....it is no wonder they are daddy and daughter ya?

Enjoy everybody!!!!

Mother's Day!

2007-05-13T12:06:00.000+08:00

Happy Mother's Day to my mummy, my mum-in-law and of course to myself! I am a mummy too you know :)
Cadence made me a card in school. I know it is simple....I know she had the help from her teacher...I know... :) But most importantly, I know she loves me a lot! She always come by to me suddenly...and she will say, yell or whisper to me...."Mummy, I love you!"
No gifts in the world can top this.... :)
She is my love *Daddy-O, of course you are my love too..There..there..no jealousy ya?*
We had dinner at Cafe Cartel' at Hougang Mall last night. I enjoyed my company (a sleepy Elebaby - cuz he has been working hard for his assignment n Cadence was having runny nose and lots of mossie bites on her legs and arms)! My 2 poor darlings. Fish & chips were good. Eugene's chicken tasted like KFC's crispy (but not spicy) chicken...Baby's pasta was baddddd...yuck..yuck...never tasted any pasta so bad before in my life...n don't believe in their free flow of bread. We had only 2 small pieces...n either they *baked* the bread reallllllll slooooooow...or thanks to our KS Singaporean friends...some took the entire loaf even when they knew that many people were queueing and waiting for the bread..poor souls (especially those who were queueing and waiting)...we did not even bother to queue...it is JUST bread...goodness.. *flipped*

Yi Yi & Uncle Boon

Future face of the world!

2007-05-06T20:50:00.000+08:00

My 1st attempt with Photoshop! Yeah! Not too bad ya?

Who is my Shi Fu, you might ask?

Of course, the handsome & smartest man I ever know - my hubby - Elebaby!!!

Photoshop is soooo fun! Think I might want to change job! Any takers?

*Beaming with joy & pride*

Cadence is such a good-looker huh? hee hee! Proud Mummy talking again!

Her Popo (my mummy) bought her the funky cap from China! Nice ya?

This little angel can really pose! She was posing for Daddy-O! :)

She is usually spontaneous with Mummy & Daddy but once she sees strangers...

little princess turns into a quiet mouse.... :P

BUT don't worry! Look at her Mummy....! I will bring her loud nature out! YEAH!

Cadence Bear

2007-05-04T14:14:00.000+08:00

Bangkok post 2

2007-05-04T13:52:00.000+08:00

I am BACCCKKKK! Ele gave me some more pics so I can show u all!!!

1st photo was near the entrance of Chatuchak - near the Art Gallery. Nice paintings, clocks...artifacts stuff..we like it but NOT MUCH CASH to spend on them...okies..next time when we move to bigger house, will come over here to get stuff :)

As you can see, Girl Girl is the "shiokest". She is like a princess being ferried around by Mummy & Daddy-O. BUT Mummy & Daddy-O GLADLY be her slaves... :) That is how much we lurve out little princess. She is a great kiddo! Easy to handle during the whole trip. Due to *good genes* My mum & dad always said I was a great kiddo & Ele's granny also said that he was a great kid as well....hee hee....self-praise huh?!

2nd photo is me & baby at their train station. Baby was tired and only wanted me to carry her. She is a cutie-pie huh? :) Their train station masters were fantastic! They will look out for us & asked us to go through the big gate instead of the auto gantry whereby it will shut kinda fast. We were darned impressed! Well-done Bangkok! However, one negative point....they only have escalators up and only looooooooong flight of stairs down. Ele and myself have well-defined deltoids, biceps and triceps after carrying Cadence sitting in her stroller with her big bag and all our shopping stuff.....*back-pain*

3rd photo is me & baby at a dinner place at Siam Square. Dinner YUM YUM!

4th photo is our ONE big family! We hardly have family photos but after this Bangkok trip, we have tons family photos! *YEAH!* Dinner at POSH restaurant in Paragon mall. Very nice place. Daddy-O has his BEST stuff in Bangkok! Garlic pate that was so greeeeattttt that he was beyond words...except...."oh my godd....mmmmMMM....Mmmmm...soo gooodddd..." :) I love my Ele...hahaha! He is just so cute!

5th Photo is Ele with baby and giant Penguin...as you know...baby loves animals...n she will not let penguin off...she is a smart kiddo..we went back to Paragon the next day and she could not find Penguin and asked me about it. 2 loves of my life...in this photo....Ele & Baby.... *Happiness*

1st post on Bangkok trip....

2007-05-03T13:45:00.000+08:00

We are bacckkk...!
We came back close to midnight on Tuesday. Cadence was really happy on the trip!
She saw the hotel room & asked, "Mummy, is this our new home? I like my new home!" Though it was a simple 3-star hotel (simple but clean), only 2 single beds (which daddy-O and myself pushed them together to form a queen-sized bed), a table top, a cupboard (without doors), a TV set with HBO (and some other channels), a small fridge and a toilet (no bathtub) and not forgetting the "resident fly"!!! Ya! This small fly that flies around....not that irritating la...think it is stucked and could not get out.
Will show more pics with us when Eugene download the pics and send to me :)
Baby bought : an umbrella, bell slippers (ding-ding as she walks), a hello kitty pop-up watch
Daddy bought : a nice long-sleeved shirt, a watch, durian chips (oil free)
Mummy bought : 2 tops, 1 funky cap, 1 pair of jeans, 1 belt, 2 watches (1 casual & 1 formal), 1 pair of funky shades, 1 funky belt, 1 bracelet, 2 pairs of nice heels, thai snacks....*GOODNESS* Mummy Chen is a shopper huh!?!? so unlike of me.....I don't really spend and shop but they are really way cheap and too good to miss la.... :P
Okies...will tell more when the pics are up.
Btw, they sell real cheap puppies in Chatuchak Weekend Market. I heard 1puppy is only S$5!! They are really cute but I feel sad for them because they were kept in small, open cages, lack of space for them to run and play.... *Sadddd* :~~

Bangkok here we come

2007-04-27T09:52:00.001+08:00

Bangkok here we come!
Eugene, Cadence & myself will be off to Bangkok tomorrow!
The little one is soooo happy because this will be the 2nd time she is taking the aeroplane and now she will understand the flight better as she was little when we went to Melbourne last year. She was so small she could squeeze into the bassinet attached on the wall.
YEAH!!! Cheap shopping here I come! I am going to buy clothes, jeans and my Hello Kitty stuff!!! :) *Happiness*
BUT most importantly, I have my Ele with me! *BLISS*
4 days together with NOOOO work! haahhah!
Photo attached is Galgal and Daddy-O in Melbourne...! Time really flies....
Hopefully, it is not too hot, humid and hazy...worried Baby cannot take it...need to buy her fruits there or else the little one will get constipated again... :)
Okies..will post pics of Bangkok soon!
