happy birthday mummy!!!!

its mummy birthday today!!! dad took the day off and went bird park with her. romentic walk by the road, birds and wings by the side... wahhh so lormentic rite? mum loves the idea! last year was sentosa so this year becomes birdpark. despite the busi schedule, dad took the day off and its really sweet!
the bros and their gfs got mummy make-up, dad got her lotsa stuff and dear and me got her earrings... she love love her presents and she even ask dt and dx wat they are going to give her. they fought over, wanting to lay their kisses on my mum.
we met them at west coast for dad's new car collection. a CAMRY!!! dad upgraded from a lorry to a van, to a corolla to a camry. its a pretty colour of greyish silverish blue... lolz... not used to the heavy functions in the new 2 lit car... dad felt lost and wanted dear to be there with him during the collection. the kids could not go in so mum and myself waited in dear's car for dad's new toy... omg.. he drove damn slow lah!
upon reaching home, he spent the next 2 hrs shifting things to his car, touching it and playing with the buttons with dear. so the 2 men were out jus playing with the boys big toy... lolz..
mum was all smiley and happy!! with the presents, the outings and the new car.. ok she is not sooo excited abt the car lah..
head to farmart for dinner as we want something near home so that the kids would not be left alone tooo long, the dinner was tooo filling! too much food!!! and there is still a cake to go!!!
the whole day was filled with fun and joy!!! mum says its the best birthday with all of us bringing out partners and dear and me planning marriage... lolz
and before we all knew it... its like 11pm already!!
headed back home cos DT was really grouchy!! ong lah ong lah!

family pic!! been a long long timeee...

happy birthday mummy!

see!!! birthday gal soooo happy!

office move!

yes! office is moving to a new location! from shenton way to shenton way... lolz!! the whole week was packed bz with the packing and many other things like helping to co-ordinate the move.

my office took 4 wks for the whole completion.. or was it 3 wks plus but itchy's place is still pending move. still next wk... every wk i ask her, its next wk... so ""ITCHY!! when u moving lah!!!""

if i were her, i would have flared up already... booo!! lucky for us, its to our benefit that we manage a deal from the good old HDB... no need to go through all these ...

For better or woes?

With worldwide increase in the fuel prices, drivers are definitely affected badly.
Sympathies from other counties eg. Indonesia, china, Malaysia and many other countries had subdue the nations with the ability to reimburse the hike through cash rebates or reduced fuel hike or absorbing the fuel hike. In countries where its deemed to have riots and where its deemed to be unsafe, the least the government do is to pacify the people.
In Singapore, rather than to pacify the nation, to reimburse us, we had to face a higher fee. Higher fuel price hit, no pity yet we had to face more gantries, higher parking fees and a even higher fuel rate.

Is this fair? Or have we grown so coward that we had to endure the over laps of price increase, one layer after another? Or have our government take us for granted that they deemed its right to ride the hike on us and to push us further?
Don’t tell me about public transport; don’t try to advise me the usage. I have 2 dogs, tell me the pros of public transport and convince me to switch over.

Woes and helpless

Been sick... bad one

been badly coughing for the past 2 weeks... look like crap and seems like i had highly infected my whole office... everyone hates meeee booo!!

went to the doc and was told to stay away from work for 2 days... i had the plans to work from home but the med jus makes me sleepy.... snore....
spent the whole day and night sleeping. the med is doing wonders i muz say, making me doing nothing but dizzy the whole time.

the boys are really happy for mummy to be at home cos its "come out and play the whole day" time. dx is the happiest! irritating kor kor all the way and got snap.. but he enjoyed it lah, the itchy boy.

for concern peeps, i had not start my rom preparations at all! my boobs are too huge to fit into those dresses and it suxs lah! i am sooo grouchy! we are planning a short getaway right after the dinner thingy so there are lotsa of things to get. lucky i got my photo / vidz and make up already. the rest are in a blur... even picking dinner venue is sooo diffcult! i tink we are jus plain lazy. but its really a chore...

hey sisters go sisters!

dear had to spend the weekend at IT show. the usual affair when it comes to work... he had since been at suntect till thurs and today is the last day to go... becos of his busy schedules, i get to meet up with the gals last night! with our kiddos of cos. robert was nice enough to pick me up at 6.30 after picking up the pretty cupcakes from vain vain josie... (yes josie.. u r vain)

Human cupcakes!!



Doggy cupcakes!


1st time bringing dt and dx out... not as diffcult as i tot so. dx was a darling in the van, leaning nxt to kor kor and waiting for the destination. reaching pawtobello, we were shown to our tables by nice waitress ... surprise right? guess the high rent and the bad comments make it really bad for them. suddenly, the waitress were all damn nice!!! before dx got a chance to touch the ground, 2 pretty gals came and carried him already. almost not wanting to return him to me!~! its really nice catching up with the gals, it had been long long time since we last came out...

DX being shy....


my fave pic!

oh ya, ginger is such a sweetheart now... she no longer grrr but she play with dx!! letting him sniff and sayang him time and again when janet was carrying dx... so sweet rite? no longer the jealous ginger, yet the motherly lady... dt was the one that shock the world with his barking. barking and grrr-ing at a lab and another dog when they wanna sniff dx... kor kor to the rescue! hence, poor dt spent the whole nite in protection mode , jus to prevent other ppl from nearing his brother. when the 2 ladies wanna come to say goodbye to dx, dt also grr at them! lolz... cute rite? oh ya, the cupcakes... yummy! this message is jus to josie ; i am obviously fat and on a diet and evil u try to seduce me with ur yummy cupcakes! grrrr i am just so glad to meet the ladies up! janet looks so much happier, itchy is still as itchy. jeff and jo slim down sooo much!!! no long the chubby jo but now look sooo slim!! everyone is in good shape!! itchy is sweet to pass me some dresses to try for my ROM... they look so smashing! dear was saying tat i really have got good frens... like itchy and robert will help me in the photo and vidz at my rom, intro me to ferene, the make up lady, and even passing me dresses!! awww

moviesssss

Beside my dosage for euro 2008, i got my movies filled during the wkends... ya.. wk ended already...lolz

i sooo love SATC! its jus reminds me of fen and kept me thinking of her through the movie cos its 1 series that we share... now looking back, she had been with me through shit of my life and now the 2 of us are moving to another phase... fen... meet up leh!

The Chronicles of Narnia is another one i had this afternoon... i seriously tink prince caspian is a dick head and he is a loser.. the theater is so-so with the unfocus screen in the middle.. lolz... i hiam too much!

now sitting infront of my lappy and planning my acca papers, i seems to be having a busy year end ahead of me. will be taking P1 at SAA from 1st week of july. the fee for the papers had certainly gone up a fair bit and orch, the money hurts.... but i am seriously considering to concentrate fully for this and i swear i will be a good girl and focus on all my classes.... anyway, my class starts on Mon and even before registering for it, i am feeling oh-so-blah....

then the ROM in sep... dear and me got excited jus talking about it... 1st timers mah... 1 sep is to verify our details at ROM, 4 sep is the date and we are planning to go for a short trip after the ceremony... just to celebrate being "married" lolz... dear keep wanting to change Ng da tou to Seng da tou... duh.... sounds soooo blah...

looking back at 2007 and 2008 (half of 2008), i must say i had had a great year.... got the things that i had wanted, starting sch, finding the perfect match for myself, getting dt and bro, rejoining the gym and got myself to this wonderful coy...

more good things ahead so , Serene, be positive!!

happy week!

long time no see!

Been on a busy note recently. The travelling, the long hours, the 2nd child, all these make me really busy. The tiny bit of extra time were spent either shouting after DX or cleaning their pee / poo and shouting for them to stop fighting and to not to bite each other.. blah blah blah... i am starting to feel old.
Currently, all blogging done were all about the boys... time to fill in some things about me me me!
Actually i am boring, we are boring. We are still doing the same thing day after day. Wake up, he feed the kids, drive me to mrt, meet me and drive me home after work, pack dinner, go back feed the kids. The cycle just goes round and round. Boring person i am!
For all the crazy work and kids schedule, i seems to have left out friends and pals. Guess the most recent pal i met is itchy. Went up to her new place and OMG.... OMFG.... her place rocks! Loves the tiles , love the walls and looking forward for the pink wall! Although its at a low level, its not warm or stuffy at all. And the place is spacious! Itchy u rock!! Your house is gonna be beautiful!
This makes dear and myself itch for our own house. It has passed 2 months already and yet, we had not got the letter to sign the lease agreement yet. Driving pass the place a few times, nothing but plain grass greet us... such low morale.
While writing this blog, here i am, tinking of all the frens that i had not managed to meet up.. i am gonna to start to date u soon! That before school starts in Jul!
