the shopaholic in me surfaces!!

in a short span of like 2 weeks, i managed to get myself:
1) a cardigan from GG<5
2) a top & skirt from Isetan
3) a top, a cardigan, a shorts & 2 undies from Topshop
4) a skirt from MNG
5) a top from Ms Selfridge (this is from ah long though)
6) a shorts & a denim skirt from Fox
7) 2 bras from Wacoal
8) Pressed + Loose powder refills from Paul & Joe

which rendered me utterly + completely BROKE.

still, a very happy birthday + happy new year to MOI! *wee*
for i so deserve the above. hiaks.

one moment: "虫虫吖！"
& he smiled.

the next moment (note, 2 seconds apart): "虫虫吖！"


宝贝，你在想什麽？

call me slow or what..

but im absolutely HOOKED onto this song by 苏打绿 now !

无以伦比的美丽
天上风筝在天上飞
地上人儿在地上追
你若担心你不能飞
你有我的蝴蝶

天上风筝在天上飞
地上人儿在地上追
我若担心我不能飞
我有你的草原

嘿 嘿 你形容我是这个世界上无与伦比的美丽
嘿 嘿 我知道你才是这世界上无与伦比的美丽
嘿 嘿 你知道当你需要个夏天我会拼了命努力
嘿 嘿 我知道你会做我的掩护 当我是个逃兵

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7vM2lAI5k0

好甜， 好美的一首歌。
我若担心我不能飞
我有他的草原。 ：）

xmas dinner with the gang & hubbi!

its been a long weekend for me. met up with the gang for early xmas dinner + gift exchange yesterday. it was a blast! simply love spending time with them. *heez*

met up with jx + candice for "the warlords" at marina sq at 4+ 1st. the movie is VERY NICE. pls go catch it if you havent. all 3 male leads acted superdly! esp. takeshi! love the innocence in his eyes. *woohhhh* heh.
the show is really very sad, as claimed by GB.

after which, we made our way to the Zenden hotel @ the Gallery hotel for our xmas set dinner. though the appetiser & dessert is alrighty, the seafood soup+main course (beef tenderloin) is delicious! i was sooo full that i cant finish the dessert (which is so-so by the way, ha). they even have complimentary birthday cake for those whose december is their bday month (which is MOI by the way!).

after dinner, we crossed over to the winehut opposite gallery hotel for our annual gift xchange + some nice wine. drank the sweetest white wine i ever came acrossed in my life & i cant remember its name for nuts now. damn.
GB, whats the name huh?

it was really nice just chatting with them & being rubbishy as usual. :)
but still, must say that 一年一年过的太快了！our last xmas meet up @ the KTV @ chinatown seems like few months ago! lolz.

okie some photos!

(clockwise) me, GB, jx, zm

me + my complimentary bday cake

tanny + ah D not yet here... so missing the 2 of 'em

our gifts!

today is hubbi+me couple time-out! we made our way to town to catch "national treasure 2". the show aint bad but i distinctly remember 1 to be better. still, its an entertaining enough movie to catch.

after which, we had a simple early dinner @ a restaurant @ cineleisure to avoid the rain. think its a restaurant under Billy Bombers.

the food aint bad. serving billy bombers' style food like burgers, milk shake etc.

after which we went shop shop for my xmas prezzie. yes! lazy ah long never surprise me with any gifts!

anyway, i got him a braun baffel belt + key pouch which i gladly say he likes them very much. :)

as for me, i got him to get me a miss selfridge top in the end. but im sooo sad when he commented the top sorta look tight on me though ITS MY SIZE.

darn. i know i am FAT lah. pui!

but i dont care. you guys just have to be contented with a 58kg wenhui till i decided to launch my exercise plan (which is so not going to happen soon, heh.)!

falala.

mindless ramblings (like for the nth time)

golden compass
just want to say golden compass is part of a trilogy, or so i read somewhere. the show just stopped halfway. BUT, i dont feel the desire to follow through.
UNLIKE LOTR.
LIKE eragon (in case all of you forgot this show. but you should anyway. strongly believe there wont be an eargon 2.).

paint the town red
is this phrase hard to understand? ah long seems to think so.
informal explanation will be to go out and enjoy in the evening, mainly involving dancing+drinking.
and THATS what im going to do tonight! *wee*

AWS
AWS is in for YESH, this is december month.
no one-special item to reward myself like previous years. but rather splurging here + there, with no tangible evidence on where my $$ goes. this is silly.
still, i swears by retail therapy!
oh, im very pleased with my personal savings now. i've come a longgggg way, babY!

i sound mad
yup, that always happen when im high.
2007 is really coming to an end. i hope there's a better way to end it (for its my BIRTHDAY) but i know its gonna end like how its gonna end everytime.
with the arrival of the NEW YEAR, duh!

bee bee wormy once again!

小小的微笑for you!

享受着。

im a sailor... byee...

smiley baby!

what are you looking at? *拽*

the milk comes so slow. *gives you the finger*

catching up on movies!

this week is movie week! *yippee*

went to watch "the golden compass" with the husband on thursday. TM on a public holiday is MAD! packed full with shitload of people! bah!
anyway, golden compass is only so-so. disappointing.
the concept of parallel universes sound intriguing but somehow the movie cant pull it off leh. and i dun like the lead character - the little girl whose name i cant remember. she sorta lack the innocence the role required.
a little too adult for me. sorta scheming even.
i miss the little harry potter! sooo cute!

tonight going to catch "the warloads" with grace, candice + jx before meeting the rest @ gallery hotel for a xmas dinner feast! *yummy*
been so long since i last met up with the gang! definitely looking forward to that!

and tomorrow is couple time with ah long. wormy will be taken care by my MIL while we hit town for some shopping + of cos a show - national treasure 2- !

i want to catch all the good shows! anyone interested in watching "I am legend" with moi?? let me know soon!! its hitting the cinema like next week!

oh, or "Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium" also can! :)

recap of 2007 (as inspired by ayu)

as usual, will recap 2007 in point forms for my own viewing pleasure. heh.

jan: nothing much. dropped my motorola V3 @ a colleague's wedding and brought myself the very-the-good SEK800i (which im still using now). celebrated ah long's bday in a low-key way (since when not like that?) with lunch @ his parents' house & dinner @ vivo. oh, went to penang & phuket for the 1st time in a 4D3N cruise with ah long & his parents. remember being upset with my skin condition back then. took the least no. of photos ever in a trip. umm, no, think that will be the cruise in may (but that's another story altogether).
feb: celebrated CNY for the 1st time as MRS NG. but nothing special really. CNY celebration @ gramps was still the best. blackjack & all! HUAT! won $$ net net at the end of the day for me lah. heh. the gang popped over to my house and we were LOUD! FUN FUN FUN! oh, & spring cleaning kills by the way.
mar: my pregnancy was confirmed! tested positive twice using home pregnancy kits before ah long + me were sold that im really pregnant. but my world crashed when we were told during our 1st visit at the gynae that the baby cant be seen. after a excruciating 2 weeks of waiting, our 2nd visit finally confirmed wormy's existence. *phwee*
apr: spent most of it having morning sickness. cant tell anyone abt wormy's for im bandang. lolz. nelly left for NYC. cried when sending her off at the airport. had skin problems due to pregnancy - eczema ard my tummy area got really bag and lips become sore & puffy. quite an unhappy time for me. good thing was i got my bonus and rewarded myself a LV wallet. *sweet*
may: worst mth. down with all kinds of illness - asthma, flu, fever, hacking cough. all the time super worried the effect medicine has on baby. didnt enjoy my 3D2N trip to malacca/KL with hubbi AT ALL. was down with asthma ALL the time on board. thought i was dying when we were at KL. and after recovering, received some bad news on routine blood test done during baby's 16th weeks. it was the longest 2 weeks for us when we waited news for the re-test. remember being very depressed and sad back then for if there's really something wrong, it'll be too late for us to do anything abt wormy and the horrible choice of exterminating the pregnancy will have to be made. *sobz* i really dread the time when i think back. our jazzy finally arrived on 18th may by the way.
jun: good mth. perhaps the best mth. received good news abt blood re-test results. big load off my chest. morning sickness is history. and best mobility for the whole pregnancy. weekends were fluff+fun going out with ah long catching movies, having nice dinners & all. *wee*
july: more or less like jun. just that im getting heavier and mobility not as good. start of my 3rd trimester. getting busy for budget period back at work. oh, i got myself the orange CD bag.
aug: getting tired more easily. very busy at work. hated boss + some colleagues. went on a mad make-up shopping spree. but really, nothing much for me to spend on.
sept: getting very tired by now. remember hating to be pregnant and cant wait for due date to arrive soon. 1 year wedding anniversary for us! spent a nice quiet weekend at pan pac for the occasion. :)
oct: crawled to work for almost the whole month. commuting sucks the energy out of me. the waiting game begins. got pregnancy0-induced rash all over hands. very depressing. got myself 2 new bags - a coach & a LV. yup, im a spendthrift but i so deserve them. *stares hard*
WORMY ARRIVED on 26th OCT finally, weighing a healthy 3.515kg! :)
nov: confinement sucks. and i was on the brink of post-natal depression like at least 5 times during the mth. not sure how to take care of a newborn. he fell sick and was admitted to hospital for 3 nights. beastfeeding really take the toll on me. told myself fiercely that i must dish out sound advice on breastfeeding to my friends next time. its not a easy task. i plunged into it doing too little research and paid by becoming depressed + resentful. bah!
dec: still feeling lost at times over how to take care of wormy but trying to learn + cope day by day. looking forward to this weekend where i will be having xmas dinner with the gang + ah long. some time off parenting is welcoming at times, really. question: what should ah long get for me for my bday? hmm.
oh, my weight is still so undesireable still @ 58kg. damn.

okie, that sums up my emo roller coaster 2007. hope 2008 will be a smooth + peaceful one. really, 我已无所求。:)

retail therapy = shiok!

just came back from a short-lived mad shopping spree in town! *wee*
and i can only conclude retail therapy is really good!
and so i became the santa once again come this time of the year. of cos, playing the biggest santa to myself, no doubt. :P

things i bought during a short duration of 2 hours+ at scotts isetan alone:
1) a belt for daddy - a goldlion one to be exact... his one and only existing one is really pathetic..
2) a mickey mouse 2008 calendar for the brother - yesh, my bro is a mickey mouse fanatic!
3) xmas prezzie for mad D - yuppie, doing the annual gifte xchange with the gang this sat and im supposed to buy prezzie for him.
hope he likes them! yup, i bought giftS for him. actually they are just chocolates, peanuts & bodyshop body lotion (the most cliche xmas prezzie choice of all) as predicted by him. hiaks.
4) xmas prezzie for the husband! i doubt he've bought any gifts for me yet. he needs immense prompting every year. ha.
anyway, i think he 'll like what i got for him. cant disclose here for he does read this blog (but think nowadays he sooooo sleep-deprived he dun do that as often..)
5) origins moisturiser + mask for moi-self. my supply running low lah.
6) new shoes from itti+otto (like again!). i love shoes! *wee*
7) a toy set for wormy! though he can only really play it at 3M+. but whatever! in the spirit of giving!

lalalala. im a happy woman.

kudos to the most 伟大woman of the world! my MOMMY for taking care of wormy ALONE (she is so capable of doing that!) while i did the above shopping.
so why no pressie for the mommy? for greedy her wants an ANG BAO instead.
ha. and so that she'll get soon.

okie. "me" time almost over. im beginning to miss the wormy too.
byeeeeee....

movies i want to watch!

why is it that all the good movies come out when you are least able to make it to the theatres!?
pui!

movies i really want to catch!:
1) Hero
2) Enchanted
3) Stardust
4) The Golden Compass
5) Lions for Lamb
6) The Warlords
7) Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium
8) i am legend

i miss the big screen! *wail*

the weight falls & falls &

then it got stuck.

bah!

pre-pregnancy: 53kg. pregnancy: 71.5kg (yap, no kidding. last weighed on the morning of delivery day itself).
so i gained a good 18.5kg for the whole pregnancy.
the biggest loss comes straight after the delivery itself of cos.
with wormy, the placenta & some water out of me during the very process.
i remember weighing around 62kg during my first post-natal check up (ard 1 week after delivery).

and then i got busy with taking care of wormy and didnt take much notice of my weight though i did weigh myself on-off using a not so reliable scale. think by 1st mth, my weight was ard 59-60kg. when i moved back to redhill 2 weeks ago, i feel i got thinner for taking care of baby alone more often surely taken some toil on me?
so finally, hubbi and i got a digital scale on sunday and the weight of me now officially stands at 58kg!

darn. the weight loss rate really slows down alot for the last few kg huh?
currently, i still cant wear my watch on my right wrist.
i still cant wear my wedding band my left ring finger.
i still cant wear most of my fitting tops + bottoms from last time.

:( wish me luck for the remaining 5kgs! when my appetite remains more or less the same as pregnancy period at times!

wormy is entering an extremely fussy period!
he will cry n cry n cry from midnight onwards till 3+ before falling asleep.
so this meant only 4 hours or less sleep for me during the night!
lucky i can catch up on sleep during the day when he naps. but not for poor hubbi.

hope things will look up soon. on a more positive note, its easier to let go and get others to help take care of wormy for short periods while hubbi and i go out to run errands or just have some nice couple time.
its been so long since we've some quality time together.
as we were doing up the laundry in the kitchen (while little wormy is fast asleep of cos), we lamented how we miss "us" time.
hmm. so its a good thing that my mother-in-law offered to take care of wormy on xmas day so we can go dating? :)
hee, so sweet of her hor.

wormy went out today again!

today is to my grandma place to let wormy visit his great-grandma! heez.
for the 1 hour plus we were there, he's fast asleep. heh.
okie, some pixs!

all ready to go! wormy in his cute little romper!

pappy sneaked in some sleep together with wormy @ gramp's place
do they look alike?

back home - about to fall asleep..

random ramblings

next time, when a decision has been made for the baby.
remember, stick to it and dont let anyone make you feel guilty about it.
i mean it.


for mothers know best.


okie, its just that i had enough of people from here n there telling me what to do for my baby.
heck, they dont even have to tell me in the face.
just a raised eyebrow or whispered questioning behind my back is enough to irk me.
sigh. i shall be strong and stick to my decision.


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


who said the 1st month is the most difficult?
the second month is toO!
the little devil is now soundly asleep but when he's awake, 我有的忙了！：）
little wormy is extremely insecure and demanded to be held every now and then.
not sure if this is the case for most babies or the hospital ordeal has made him so.
whatever the case, im trying my best to sooth him and let him gain confidence in his caretakers, which include me! :)


waiting for him to turn 3 months old so he can start playing with me. heez.
but by then, i ll be back at work. how annoying!


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


im pretty amazed at myself.
i've been having interupted sleep (less than 6 hours a night) for the past 5 weeks!
of cos, i made it up by sneaking naps here n there during the day.
but still!


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


i love wormy to bits but sometimes im really puzzled by his crying.
what exactly does he want!
and sometimes, i just want to get away from all the taking care business and have some me-time again.
that is really quite hard for the time being.
even if someone volunteered to take care of wormy, im not sure i'll bear to do so.
for long at least.


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


my little angel/devil having some rare quiet time by himself.
