gaga..ooh lala!

it was gaga night with some of the peeps on monday!

despite it being the first workday of the week, our mood was not dampened at all!

most of us made the effort to dress up after work before the concert.

and mad dd bought the most atrocious headgears/wigs for us.

we had fun trying them on in the car park but decided to ditch them last minute simply because of the mad hot weather.

and being in the standing lot for the whole night was just not going to help!

i dont want rash on my scalp by end of night!

   

me in crazy crab headgear





me, dd + ser with our neon wigs





the concert was a blast! gaga gave us a solid 2.5hrs performance belting out songs after songs.

her vocals were really good despite all the dancing and her theatrical antics were super entertaining. :)

and i so so so love the finale encore - edge of glory followed by marry the night! *hoot*

but my knees and calves were aching after all the dancing and jumping the whole time....

still, one of the best concerts ive been to in my life!

berry tiring weekend!

ok, make it the whole week.
for almost the whole work week, work has kept me berry busy during office hours.
even after work, my brain was buzzing with what's not done.... @_@
i will survive! and i must!! with the upcoming month-end closing and all the tasks to finish before we are due to go for our hols in 2 weeks time! *gulp*

lucky for the shopping breaks i indulged in during the week to keep myself sane (though definitely not healthy for the wallet's sanity...)!
GG5 sale has started on thursday and im all geared up!
went to a few branches and i DID try to restrain that teeny weeny bit.
i think i did an ok job.
damage - 3 tops, 1 belt, 1 leggings and 1 pants.

and then the weekend came!
merry-making with my boys. :)

YR's hair is back again. so i clipped it up in the crazy hot weather. *muhaha*
he really look like me when i was young!

  

on saturday morning, we went to suntec bright and early.
brunch was dim sum @ food republic. 

我好帅，不知如何是好。。
check out his thick lips and ..hair! hiaks.



我和 大宝贝



Then off we went to book fair!
times was having this fantastic sale where 5 books were going at $30!
i got my 5 easily. :)
and the boys had their fair share of children and activity books too!

then we walked over to marina square for more window shopping.

and seeing that the time slot is do-able, we caught MIB3 at GV.

not as good as MIB1/2 definitely but will do for nostalgia sake.

by the time we reached home after dinner, the boys were grouchy and ready to sleep.
and they did at by 9pm. :)
both hubbi and me spent time reading together (believe me when i said its a rarity and obviously im not refering to myself reading..).

today was more or less the same with us hitting town early in the day for brunch @ mac.
after that, shopping for the ng family!
with the taka sale, we got a new booster car seat for YR as well as a new stroller - Maclaren volo which will come in handy for our upcoming trip.
so light at 4kg and being a no-frills stroller, it will be perfect for YZ and us during the trip!
and of cos, i have to buy something - CK shoes - a steal at isetan sale.


dinner was at meatworks @ ion - what's with the 迷蒙的眼睛？！

 by the time we reached home after the early dinner, the sky was still not dark. 

spot the wannabe ironman at the back!

One of the better buys for today was stickers i got for the boys at Prints.

they were good quality puffy stickers that retail at $4.90 original but going at $1 now!
and what's better is you get 5 free for every 10 strips bought!
so one is less than a dollar each!
i let the boys have 1 each to stick on their wardrobe doors just now and the results were pretty good!

done by YR with my guidance of cos

Done by YZ himself, pretty good!

waiting for the boys to zzz now!
then hb and me can try the PECK bread i bought from taka basement!

time of the year again

yuppie, GSS is slowly but surely happening!
but i've started shopping before that! *gulp*
work has been getting crazier so i cope by retail therapy. :P

so i bought:
- a dress from zara
- a dress + a romper from topshop
- a skirt from bysi
- a dress, a skirt + a romper from forever new
- lounge pants + sockss from uniqlo
- a belt from dressy

ok, after gg5 sale, i will be good for the rest of may till mid jun!
i promise.
because im saving up for my trip in jun! *teehee*

my baobeis!

wanted to post a photo of YR taken today but discovered more random photos from the past!

this is YR "unhappy" pose nowadays = pouty lips + folded arms 

this is YZ at 2y+ wearing...... my undie! LOL think he ransacked our wardrobe and wore it on his own. haha.

YZ at 1y+ - his looks has changed so much!

gor gor at 2y3m, didi at 1m+ :)

they really grow up too fast.....



mad dd + ser ser birthday party

*woohoo* time for the crazy gang to gather once more.

this time round, we met to celebrate dd + ser ser bday!

after much discssion on watsapp, we decided to go old school.

and gb managed to book a room @ spring court.

we went for the $538++(?) package which gave us a room to ourselves completed with a dedicated waitress.

PLUS big flat screen and karaoke system so we can sing while we dined. LOL!

and oh yes, a whole suckling pig for the "新人". hahah.

with jx, candice + tanny!

we sang and laughed throughout the whole dinner.

think the waitress was either laughing with or at us.... :P

we were selecting all those classic songs of our era:

吻别,宽容,剪爱 etc. gosh!

and the singing got us into the mood so much that we went for second round at liang court party world!

it was 3+am by the time i was home, bathed and ready for zzz. @_@

lucky for hb, i was able to snooze my way till 10+am before the rascals decided once and for all that mummy got to wake up!

got this book from bookdepository and finished it in 2 days.
this is such a sad sad story.
as we all know, prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and itself. so they can't be anymore solitary.
so when 2 prime numbers get together, will they be the perfect match for each other given how similar they are or never be given their very nature?

the book gives us a peek at how tragedy can strike anyone suddenly and without prejudice.
and the aftermath of each tragedy can affect an individual like a poison seed.
taking root and growing into something so strong that devour its host.

i finished the last chapter in our living room with the husband watching channel 8 news on tv.
as i put down the book with a deep sigh, i told him i think im going to tear.
and then the tears start pooling in my eyes and streamed down my cheeks.
(ok, stop the drama mama jest)
the ending made my heart so so heavy. :(
its not exactly sad or a happy one but just like that. just like how life is.

and yes as life goes, the husband is pretty resilient towards his one-kind of a wife.
not at all perturbed by the sudden emo floodgates and instead gave me a comforting squeeze on the arm.
im just glad we are both not prime numbers (but certainly odd numbers i think)...

attack!

i have to watch my diet very closely again... :(
my big toe joint was inflammed from last sunday and only subsided enough for me to stop hobbling today.
sigh. i was so glad when the medical report was fine for me last nov.
guess i over-indulged after that assurance.
time to cut down on alcohol, anchoives and all nutty stuff. *sniff*

hunger games trilogy

have finished the trilogy in barely a week and i super dig it!
i like it so much that i actually re-read the last half of book 3 - mockingjay.
really really like how the series tackle different themes while keeping the main story simple and easy to digest.
no wonder it was compared to the animal farm in some reviews.

now i really cant wait for the sequels to be shown on big screen!

day out with the little nut!

and so i am on leave today! and i planned to spend the day with little nut.
or rather, he spent the day shopping with me! :P
ok lah, im not so bad.. i brought him to watch the avengers!
and the little ironman 粉丝 was super duper glad to see his superhero on the big screen.
and its good that there were fewer people in the cinema at 10+am, better to entertain his not-so-quiet questions. ha.

after that we went window shopping @ ion area all the way back to cineleisure before we drove back to my mum's place to pick gor gor up.
didnt really buy anything except the laura mercier primer and tinted moisturiser from sephora to try since the stock finally came in.
saw that they have added the new fresh and philsophy lines to their shop, cant wait to try next time.

closing time....

once again, back to work on an otherwise public holiday for finance people like me..
so on 1st may, i was working berry hard at work from morning till evening.
WHILE obviously some people think im rather unnecesary and go ahead with their plans to gather and merry-make WITHOUT me.
wow, how nice and considerate.

but again, if you think hard enough, you cant expect too much from some.
one cant expect what the other cant do (read the little prince).
so from S&S pple, its good to set 2 kinds of expectations: low and lower.

the first S is selfish while the other S is up to you to define anyway.
definitely NOT sweet or sincere or anything along that line.

the good thing that comes out from a frustrating 1st may is that i get 1.5 days off in lieu in return.
time to plan some good o' me time leave. :)
