saturdays should be like this

today is one of the busiest saturday for this year! or so it seems.
but im liking all the activities for i've flowery legs.
being out of the house suits me just fine! :)

yz was away at my mum's place so we slept late together with yr till 9+am. shiok.
spent some quality time with yr - just playing with him and bringing him downstairs for a simple brekkie.
enjoy the peaceful moments now before he start walking/running around like his gor gor!


yr in bumbo. he is immensely strong!
after awhile being in it, he will start arching his back, straightening his body stiffly and risking himself to fall out of it totally.
gosh. constant supervision is required for him nowadays.
if not in a bumbo, he will roll over and over till he's out of the playmat and on the hard floor. @_@ then, the wailing wil starts.

after brekkie, mad rush for me to bath and get ready for the long day.
first, im going to yz's childcare to attend a talk held by learning vision, collaborated with fei yue community service.
its titled, " be angry, but dont blow it". in short, anger management lah.
i thought it would be useful for me when dealing with a difficult toddler at home.
i like the previous session on effective discipline held by them, hence i signed up for this new talk.

it was quite an insighful session, albeit a short one.
learnt some facts on the emotional and behavioural aspects of anger per se and some tips on anger management.
but think easier said than done.
its so hard to control one's actions when seeing red!
still, will try to keep in mind some pointers the next time i flare up at yz! or even hubbi alike. :P

then, drove back home to fetch hubbi and yr for we were going to paragon!
ok, more like hubbi dropping yr and me off @ paragon.
for im meeting candice for some shopping @ metro paragon!
20% rebates for skincare products! :)

recently, i'm stocking up on skincare products again.
last wednesday, i popped by my facial place to get some sothys products since there is promotion going on - 50% off the 2nd item purchased!
got myself :
- anti-aging face cream (to use as a night cream)
- anti-aging face serum (current sothys hydration serum is finishing soon)

im particularly excited about the metro sale for its one of the rare store which gives up to 20% rebate! and one of my fav/staple brands sisley is available there too!

stocked up on:
- sisley hydra global day moisturiser (current one about half used)
- sisley eye & lips contour cream (stock up purpose)
- lancome suncblock BB base (current one is the normal range and half used. this new one comes with BB base! im cant wait to try it soon!)
and the good thing about sale is i get tons of samples for free! and they are all travel sized in proper mini bottles. goody good.

had a really fun time browsing all the atas brands bags/wallets with candice again.
she is such a bagwhore just like me! haha.
and yr has been a good boy sitting in his pram all the while with minimal fuss.
maybe he likes shopping just like me. :P

met up with hubbi at ard 4+pm after parting ways with candice.
poor hubbi was waiting for us @ paragon's coffee bean, working away on his laptop.
but secretly, i think he relished such alone moments without us. heh.

next stop: AMK industrial park 1 for times warehouse book sale!
heard about this sale from a fellow mummy yesterday and i cant get it off my mind.
$2 per book for any kind of book!
yr was getting fussy so we only spend like less than 30mins there. with hubbi handling him and me running around like mad woman sourcing for good buys/books.

managed to nab 13 childrens' books for yz! what a steal at $26 given some are hard-cover books which can sell as much as $20+ per book at kino!
sad thing is, i've no time to browse for myself. all those fiction books lying around screaming to be read! sigh.
oh well, one thing i learnt from motherhood is you cant win 'em all.

after that, decided on a whim to go east coast for an early dinner before picking up the elder son from my mum's place.
hubbi was visibly tired out at this point of time.
truth be said, im feeling slightly exhausted too but time is to be stretched and maxed out, no? :P
so onwards to the big splash area for us!

brought hubbi to try the yoshimaru jap restaurant @ the big splash area.
heard good reviews on their mini burgers so ordered that for myself while hubbi chose the normal char-siew ramen for himself.



tada! the mini burgers! really quite tasty, esp the chicken cutlet one.
but really alot for one so i made hubbi share with me.

their black sesame seed ice-cream is really nice too. not too sweet.
and pricing is quite reasonable. it was ard $30 for 2 of us.



slightly grumpy yr by then.
he didnt manage much nap being out with us for nearly the whole day

finally at 7+pm, we slowly made our way to ubi to fetch yz and made a beeline for home soon.
yr was so tired he snoozed immediately once we reached home.
that gave us some quiet time to spend time with the elder son till his later bedtime at 10+pm.
then, finally time for ourselves to enjoy our fav. comfort food - potato chips! while watching tv together.
*yawn*

time for us to snooze too.
