Started house hunting

I can't really remember when and how it all started (the huge fight between my brother and dad, and my mum, Ed and me) but today it blew up again! Just before we were going to leave to view some homes, Gavin (after today I refuse to call him bro) and the old man asked for a meeting… came to be a big issue…..as usual old man took the young bastard's side….

Whatever…. We will be out of their lives soon enough.

Went to see 2 houses today and I liked one of it…but I don’t want to rush. Came home and had to rush to my first photography lesson with Todd Beltz.

Met Todd at Coffee Bean and he showed me and explained the basic functions of my camera that I didn't even know about! Very interesting and very informative.

While I was having my lessons, Ed took the kids to Toys R Us.

Anyway, glad we made it home in time because it started raining heavily. However, when the rain stopped, I looked out my window and practiced what Todd had taught me this afternoon. I also gained a little more courage at experimenting with my cam.

I took the first pic and sent it to Todd and he said it was a bit too orange so I tried again and got a perfect shot! I'm so happy!!!

The tooth fairy is now broke

Lani came home from school and she had pulled out another wobbly tooth! Again she did it herself! I swear she's got more guts than me!

Nevertheless, the tooth fairy is now officially broke! Haha. Two teeth in 2 days at ten bucks a pop!!! Steep!

Happy Birthday Logan

My son Logan turns 4 today. How time flies…I remember when he was just a little snot.

Nevertheless, our first stop today was to Peninsula Plaza to buy him a new pair of soccer boots for his birthday.

Then off to Toys R Us. Spent about 2 hours walking around there and two hundred over dollars later, the kids came out contented and satisfied with what they had picked out.



Back home, the kids played with their new toys for a bit which gave us some time to rest before continuing the day…and finally off to my granny’s for pizza and cake….

New Cream

Took the day off and brought Logan for his doctor's appointment at the skin centre.

Doctor recommended a new cream for Logan and told us it was 'a little more' expensive than the one he is using now (which I am paying $15 a tube)...so I am thinking maybe it's like $20 a tube for the new cream...

I almost died when I realized it was $52 a tube!! Ha! Rip offs!! It's really not the money because I would pay any price to make my little man's life easier. But the fact that the doctor couldn't give us a sample to try first....that I am not too happy...

Because what did I find out? That he is allergic to it anyway! Tried it for the first time tonight and he didn't take to it well!! So goodbye $52!

Happy New Year!

I am not making any new year resolutions this year because it's a waste of time as I don't keep to it anyway.

Nevertheless, Happy New Year everyone! Wishing everyone a great 2011!!


Over to the news in the good ole USA...New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys performed at Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve Party this year!! Wish I could have watched it LIVE but thanks to YouTube...even though not LIVE...at least I didn't miss the performance and what a great one it was!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!! Was Santa good to you this year? He sure was wonderful to my kids although most of the year they were pain in the asses. Ha. He must have overlooked that part...hahaha

Surprisingly the kids didn't wake us up as early as we were expecting. 8am was an acceptable time....

It took Eddie and I over 2 days (average total of about 5 hours) to wrap all their 30 over presents and it took them only about an hour or less to rip everything open!! Ha.

They were thrilled with all their gifts and that made everything great! I pray they never ever go without Christmas ever! For as long as Ed and I can afford and are doing well, our kids will always get the best!

Anyway, by 11.30am I had to go to work… sounds dreadful doesn't it? Having to work on Christmas day? This time it really isn't because it was an event for L.A.P. Productions. Our very own events company.

It was a Christmas brunch and we provided 3 hours of entertainment for the kids at Hotel Intercontinental. I provided a face painter and magic and balloons. A simple event like this with a huge profit.

At Hotel Intercontinental I met an old friend AJ. Gosh I've known him since I was in secondary school and used to watch him perform at Boom Boom Room with Leena and all. Was nice seeing him again and thanks to him, we were given this event to organize.

Moving on, did I forget to mention that even the kids’ pet hamster had a Christmas stocking filled with food. Haha.

More eating and getting drunk. Was fun.

Christmas eve is here

Christmas eve is finally here…can’t believe how fast the days are passing… almost time to day goodbye to 2010 too!

This morning, the kids and I went  met up with Leena as she had something for us and we, too, had something for her.

So how do we usually celebrate Christmas eve in Singapore? My family usually have a quiet and relaxing morning and afternoon then head over to my granny's house towards evening where the rest of the family will meet up. My granny will cook tons of stuff and we will have dinner...talk, laugh, ... Lots of snacks and alcohol.... Dinner is usually the traditional Eurasian dishes like Curry Devil, Feng, and my granny's famous fried chicken wings!

And that's not all...at midnight, we will wish one another a Merry Christmas and drink more, exchange gifts and have supper. Supper is more Western I guess... Roast beef, ham and garlic bread...

Party usually ends at 3am or later and we do it all over again the next day...haha

Things have changed as the years went by. My granny is not getting any younger and don't have the energy she once used to have. This year we did a pot luck for dinner and my granny still cooked the Curry Devil. And for supper, we ordered the ham and roast beef.

The kids really had a great time playing with their cousins. Us? The adults? We enjoyed one another's company and all the food and alcohol! Haha.

We didn't stay till 3am...we left at about 1.30am because Ed and I still had 'work' to do after the kids were in bed...

We got home from my granny's house and before going to bed, the kids put out milk and cookies for Santa.

Right after that, Ed and I filled their stockings up and took out all their presents from hiding and put it under the tree.


Now it’s time for me to go to bed as the kids will be up bright and early in the morning.

Goodnight all. Merry Christmas.
