i cant only say 岁月催人老!
though i still look much better, i insist!!!!!

week 1 of sept: dump the junk!

the very first step to take for selling your flat is to dump the junk!
not only it will do away with the clutter in your house, it will also free up space to make the house roomier for open house viewing!

so after meeting up with our agent (dear mr lim!) to communicate with him it's time to start the whole buy/sell contra madness for the ng family, ah long and me started spring-cleaning the house!

week 1 of sept:
everynight after the kiddos slept, the husband and i tackled down room by room to THROW out anything that is of no value (ie, do we need them?!).
and we threw away tons(!) but surprisingly its very therapeutic! LOL.
and the house was restated to the initial year when we moved in - bare and simple (with the exception of the children room... ). ha!

efficient mr lim has already scheduled 2 grps of potential buyers to come for viewing WHEN:
- we cant offer option to purchase since we've only just submitted application to resell our flat to HDB
- we dont have a valuation report on hand....

still, i was quite proud when the potential buyers come. i really do think our unit is very well-maintained for a 5 years old one.

anyway, 1 grp must have like our flat alot or just paying lip service..they actually came up with a verbal offer! despite no available valuation report.
still, we cant give option to purchase so we will see how this "offer" goes.
ok, more updates next week!

OMG! has it been 5 years!?

to the man in my life:

Dear mr ng,

time flies and we have been married for 5 years and together for 9.5 years!
it all started with a movie date - spy game- in 2001. the movie was blah but the date ended with me having a good fuzzy feeling towards you. :)
during the dating years, we have our fair share of ups & downs. but i reckoned the ups > downs since we came to the stage where i "proposed" to you outside california fitness and you to me at fort canning. :P

fast forward 5 years later from our wedding day, we are now blessed with two lovely boys.
though we still drive each other absolutely crazy (NOT the lovey crazy way) every other day, im still glad to say that we can still make each other laugh.

thanks dear for letting me retain the inner child in me
thanks dear for letting me laugh with/at you.
thanks dear for helping me to tabao kaya butter toast + hot milo from the coffeeshop downstairs whenever i feel like eating, be it on weekday nights/weekend afternoons.

hopefully, we can go back to have proper celebration for our wedding anniversary when the boys are bigger!

love,
mrs ng

zoo zoo zoo! you you you!

the husband managed to apply successfully for the corporate zoo pass today so both of us took leave to bring the elder son to the zoo! :)
but 天不作美, it was raining v v heavily the moment we woke up.... @_@
still, undaunted by the crazy weather, we decided to enjoy time to the fullest with yz.
so we went to have a relaxing slow brekkie with him.. no rush no rush.

at 10+, we saw that the rain has turned to a drizzle so we decided to just heck it and made our way to the zoo.
we bought the raincoats bought from disneyland HK earlier this year and they came in v v v handy! :)
its really a different kinda experience to visit the zoo on a rainy day. yz was v gleeful walking in the rain in his poncho. haha.


mother and son, haha.


waiting for the elephant show - its the only show that yz has never catch before.
he has watched others like rainforest fights back, splash safari etc...

we let him have a go at feeding the elephants and he really enjoyed the session! :)

by the time we reached kidzworld, the rain has stopped! just in time for yz to indulge in some waterplay.
i joined him in the fun, sans the slides, in my poncho and stayed miraculously dry! LOL.

we left the zoo ard 3+pm, not a very long duration by any standard but since its FOC, oh well... :P

took some photos at the entrance when we reached and hubbi was VERY sure i will buy at the end of the trip. well, he was right! *thumbs up*

we left for parkway parade (abit 环岛追追追yesterday..) since we need to go ubi to fetch yr in the evening anyway.
borders having 70% storewide sale. though selection not that good, but got me over the moon nevertheless!
i grabbed 4 novels, hubbi got 2 mags and yz chose an activity book - all for $37. very good deal!
though abit sad to see borders doing down this way....

the 2 boys K.O.ed early at 9pm! even YR, who woke up super early at 6+am today to torture my mum....haha.
i cant wait to bring yr to the zoo next year when he turns 2! :)

cosy ROM affair + fun-filled day with the peeps

this weekend has been pretty fun for i got the chance to catch up with my friends!
saturday marks the 2nd wedding (ok, ROM) dinner that i've to attend for the rest of the year (4 more to come!).
was very glad to be invited by gerry & adrian to share in their joy for their ROM session at the Padang restaurant @ cricket club.
dinner was 5-course western style dinner and it was yummy!
apart from the food, i really enjoyed the night.
for one, i got to catch up with some of my friends (the ex-DTs!).
and its always happy to see 2 persons in love with each other getting hitched... :)
hope the newly-wedded couple will has a blessed marriage ahead!


met up with the gang on sunday for candice's bday!
was out of the house before 11am to have dim-sum brunch at shaw's east ocean resturant.
as usual, we ordered food with total disregard to whether we can finish. @_@


this is only the 1st round of food.....

ordered 寿桃 in replacement of birthday cake for candice and they were soft & delicious! 现蒸现卖!


we bought a bimba & lola bag and the birthday girl likes it! good choice of color by gb & tanny!

taken by the restaurant staff who obviously just want to 敷衍了事!

a much better taken one by a random passer-by!

after brunch, we continued our favourite activities - shopping, coffee break and more chatting and then 卡拉永远ok!
it was dinner time when we parted our way and i made it to my mum's place to meet up with the boys. :)
was totally tired out and now seems to be coming down with sore throat (too much screaming at the ktv to songs like "hold it against me" /"on the floor"....). hope will be better tomorrow!

lazy weekend

nothing's up during last weekend except that i've to attend a wedding dinner!
its christine's big day on saturday and the dinner was at noble house.
food is yummeh and so glad to catch up with the uni peeps again!
was telling jm that time flies and we have known the uni peeps for 10 years! (since we met each other on the 1st tutorial in NBS!) LOL.
and that silly girl still say got 10 years meh, we have not work that long.... @_@
she forgot the school years are counted as well.... haha.

brought yz along since he's ever so happy to attend "hotel dinners". :)
he was good and was seated for 90% of the whole dinner. good job!

some photos taken at marina square before the wedding dinner.
as usual, the father n son duo who didnt go for the dinner met up with the in-laws after yz and me left.................................
