candice bday at shabu shabu

it's time for the AHS gang to meet up once again!
this time, its for candice's belated bday!
location is at vivo's shabu shabu restaurant at L1. food wise is so so and again, price is very steep. over-priced food again. :

but the company is the highlight, not the food. and i really enjoyed my evening with them! :)
zm got this new fujifilm camera which has a protrait mode that makes our skin appear radiant and smooth in the pictures!
great!

ok, some photos!


umm... dan's face like TOO radiant. LOL.

me n jx

and yah, my bra strap like peeking out for all the photos! bleh.

we may meet up like only once a mth or every other month. but the conversations just flow like avalanche! sometimes, i've problem following cos everyone is just talking at the top of his/her voice.
let's hope our strong friendship will last till we are middle-aged and beyond! *eeks*

是的，我是偏激的。
讨厌一个人，就像覆水难收。
很难回到最初。

九月二十六日 ： 十一个月大了!

我的宝贝不知不觉已经十一个月大了！
再多一个月，他就是个孩童而不是北鼻了。。
感到有点不舍嘞。



现在的他有四颗牙牙。
能够准确得辩认许多物品。
睡觉的时候，丑态百出。
脾气之倔强，牛的有点像我。
运动量越来越大，头不能再敷衍了事的洗了。会臭的。
笑容与笑声越来越不吝啬。
我的小不点，真的长大了。
* 百感交集*

黄勇智小朋友，妈咪与爸比都很爱你！
要健健康康，开开心心长大哦！：）

要拍我吗？

好，笑一个给你。

虾？没看镜头？现在可以吗？

来一个走光的。嘿。

surreal...

.... to see F1 racing cars turning here and there like small plastic cars on the tracks from my office building. heh.
im getting geared up like excited little children for the grand prix. when i know nuts beforehand!
i think F1 die-hard fans must be pissed with people like me. :)

rasa sentosa - 2 years anniversary

this coming thursday marked the 2nd marriage anniversary of ah long and me! :)
and so, hubbi and me both took friday off to spend a night at rasa sentosa as a pre-celebration of the occasion.
we got ourselves a seaview room which aint great cos can't really see the sea with the many trees. x_x
still, it was a nice detour from our usual movie-window shop-dinner celebration prototype.

we woke up early at 9+, did some housechores (yeah, life goes on..) and then headed to tiong bahru for grocery shopping (for the baby!) and had mac brekkie! then we went home to pack and left for sentosa soon. we checked in at 2pm and found the hotel location great - its on siloso beach itself - but it was abit shabby compared to our last local hotel stays (conrad + pan pacific).


us at the balcony of our room

hubbi with the card and pressie that i got for him :)

after settling our stuff, we left to find some activities and some food for a late lunch.
@ siloso beach. yup, thats me.

lunch @ trepizza, one of the eateries along the beach

sentosa has change so much since my last visit 3 years ago! hubbi and me had fun exploring the different shops lined along the beach front. and we tried the sentosa luge and skyride. we opted to take the skyride up the other side of the hill and came down by using the luges (small sleds like thingies)!

before boarding the skyride

the ride up was a mistake. i confirmed that i ve fear of heights! and it got so high up at a point and the thing stopped for god-knows-wat reason and it swayed with fragile me on it! i teared.

yes, the experience was that horrible for me. no way am i gonna do this another time. gonna take the tram/walk up to enjoy the luge ride down next time!

but the ride down was very fun! though it was over in a flash. and stupid hubbi was cheonging all the way down despite me shouting "wait for meeeee!" " let me overtake youuuu.....!" for the 1st half of the ride. after that, i never bother. humpf.

me on luge!

after that, sentosa is really quite bored for us. we've visited most of the attractions that last time we were here (yes, even the images of singapore!). so we board the monorail and made our way to vivo for our dinner.

the monorail cut through what will be the sentosa resort in 2 years time. cant wait for it to be completed. it looks huge and promises to be choke full with entertainment.

sweaty us on the monorail

dinner was at akashi for ive the craving for sashimi! after that, we headed back to our hotel and stayed there for the night liao from 8+pm! LOL. but it was really nice just to chill in room, watching trashy shows on HBO with hubbi.

thick slices. i like!

wanted to head out to cafe del mar late at night but no surprise, we were beaten with the day activities and were zonked out. ha.

next time, must bring baby yz with us to sentosa! i can imagine him having fun on the beach and exploring underwater world perhaps!

it's never too late to start.

recently started to notice that my arms and forearms' pigmentation is getting more prominent.
i've always been more tanned than fair and the good thing about this is i've never kena sun-burnt in my entire life.
i just become ah bu neh neh when under the sun for too long.
also, very little freckles compared to my fair-skinned friends.
BUT my luck is running out.
so its time to whip out the sunblock for daily use!
so now, during weekdays (weekends seldom in the sun), i've been diligently using a SPF40 sunblock on my arms/forearms.
no results so far but i believe it will show as i age.

remember, it's never too late to start!

baby yz is a handful nowadays! getting v smarty pants and also v naughty!
recently, his stunts are:
1) making sniffing sounds and face on cue. i just need to go "sniff sniff sniff" and he'll follow. and the results? a very ugly face as posted in last post. and when we do it together, hubbi got a shock cos we look alike. LOL.
2) when i carry him and say "hug tight tight", he will hug me tight! and when i say "baby sleep sleep", he'll lie his head on my shoulders. so cute!
3) when i carry him with one hand and put out the other hand and ask him "dance dance?". he'll put his hand in my extended out hand and i'll proceed to "waltz" with him. LOL. and he loves every minute of it, judging from the tiny smile on his face!
4) *this is disgusting* when i ask him "where is mummy nose nose?", he'll proceed to try to dig my nostrils with his index finger! haha. most of the time, i will move out of the way. most of the time, at least. :P
5) we play a small session of "catch" before his bedtime everynight. he'll crawl all over our bed and his mattress at night. and i'll go "mummy coming coming" to which he'll give a squeal and quickly scurry out of my reach. :)
6) and now whenever we take things out of his hands, he'll give an angry sound, and thrusts his hand towards us, asking it back.
7) and its a battle to change his diapers & clothes nowadays. the moment the diaper/clothing is off him, he will flip and attempted to crawl away!

the above are just some of his many antics. really, he is fast approaching toddler years and losing his baby naviety! :

but still, mummy n daddy love u tons!

love you 归 love you, we still need some time to ourselves. heh.
so for this weekend, hubbi and me are going for a short getaway to sentosa! to celebrate our 2 years anniversary in advance. :)
think we will just rot in hotel, swimming or watching some DVDs. just rest n relax will be good. what else can we do in sentosa?

and 1 1/2 mths left before baby 1 year old bday celebration. hope its a blast！：）

a day with my lil' pumkin

was on childcare leave for today and hence got to spend the whole day with my little baby! :)
think it has been a good 3m+ since i last take care of him alone for the whole day.
and i really enjoy the day with him! though he did make me lose my patience for a few times. :P

recently, he started making all kind of funny faces and that really crack me up!
ha , more ugly photos of baby yz!!
nowadays, his fav is this scrunch up look which he'll make ON CUE lor.
dun know to laugh or to cringe.

eeeeeeeeeee..... my 2 pearlies!

like some bad rocker on booze.

我的老北鼻和小北鼻

和我性感的背影。嘿。

Oct babies bday bash!

can you believe baby yz is only a good 1 1/2 mths+ away from his 1 year old birthday?!
gosh! he is going to be a toddler like SOON! *gulp*

anyway, the ng family headed down to AMK grassroot club for the october babies bday bash on sunday! think there are 32 babies in all attending this bash!~ FUN!
but i didnt take any photos with anyone/other babies cos baby yz was still nursing his cough and i was careful to not let him go into close contact with other babies.

still, i think he had fun then! so much so that the poor tired baby falls asleep upon reaching home and napped for 2 hours straight!

ok, some photos taken there.

yz with pappy (in the children room)

with mammy! 脸贴脸！

super happy in slide

cheeky face

in ball pool. he loves swimming on the balls!

*yawn* im getting bored taking photos with this auntie liao.



side note: baby yz LOVEs to scrunch up his face nowadays and fake-cry.
step 1: scrunch up face till super ugly
step 2: open eyes see abit
step 3: let out a fake crying sound
step 4: face return to normal and see your reaction.
wah buay tahan. but super cute lah.

here's one of his ugly fake crying face.

Wall-E....

is good!

i actually teared at the end of the show!
the love between wall-e and eve is really too endearing!
or maybe its just me.
but, even the hubbi likes it so it means something. :)

i was wrong.......

baby yz really is thinner now!!! :( sad sad curry pok

he was 10.1kg when he was 9mths old.

2 weeks back when he was nearly 10mths, we weighed him and he was 10.4kg.

and yesterday at the PD, he weighs 10.1kg now! 300g thinner. *sob*

mum was commenting his ass is much smaller when she baths him (i thought it was funny upon hearing it and kept chanting 屁股小小 to him..). sigh.

baby always has a good weight since birth and im really at a loss when his weight goes the reverse direction for the 1st time. :(

really hope his cough will recover soon. arg!

a slimmer yz...... (courtesy of ayu)

SIGH

depressed. baby yz cough is still ard. and its a strange one.
he doesnt cough during the daytime, only during the night when he sleeps (very heartpain to hear him flip here n there, coughing with eyes closed. and in the morning from 7-10+am.
and when he coughs, the phlegm rumbles. :(

1) took him to my family GP. finish 1 course of medicine. no use.
2) took him to hubbi's company doc. finish 1 course of medicine. no use.
3) took him to PD, finish 1 course, slight improvement
4) took him to PD for review, improvement so we stopped the medicine.
i think we stopped too soon cos the cough is back again!
and this is like the 5th week his cough is still lingering.

my mum has been commenting he is much thinner now. so sad.
though i know its common for babies his age to slim down too due to increased activity, but really very sad to see him lose baby fats ard his face n arms. :(
but the weird thing is his weight is still increasing! maybe cos he is getting much taller too hence the overall look is a slim version of last time. :(
very sad lah.

later going to bring him back to PD again. SIGH.
and if this time still cannot recover, i really dont know wat to do.
mum wants to let him try another doctor who sees me for my asthma when im young but hubbi is a lil' against letting him switch so many docs.
im caught in between. and im getting frustrated.
i just want him to get well soon!

ok, some photos of baby yz to cheer meself up on an otherwise happy friday. :((

crying for attention and getting none

cruised towards me, still fussing

pissed with me for not entertaining him during mealtimes.
