Qing Ying.

Had dinner at Yong's mum's house on Thursday.

Mum looks after babies on weekdays and now there's 2 at her house.

Qing Ying's the older one, about 16 months old.

She'll be going to childcare in another 2-3 months time.

I had craving for ice-cream after dinner.

Apparently, Qing Ying also had a craving.

Her alliance is with the cone.

So long as her lips touch the cone (regardless of the ice-cream or the cone) she'll be giggling and laughing in happiness.

Her tatical moves:

She'll make her way (quietly) next to you.

And then, call me 'jie jie' and 'mum mum'.

Smile at you innocently pointing at the ice-cream.

Look intently at the cone.

Act cute lor.

Try her luck at touching the cone.

Asks you for it with her eyes.

Lick!

This is the other baby girl.

Roxy's Recovery.

Met Ami for lunch on Wednesday at home to see how Roxy was doing.

She really looked like she lost a whole tummy.

Still not really eating on Wednesday and still puking.

Ami bought a new brand of wet food that looked really like human food.

Smells great too!

Think it was S$5 per box.

Roxy's not really interested either.

She looks really thin.

Ami says she's like anorexic.

Well, she was interested in drinking fruit juice.

At least that's some vitamins in the body.

It may sound weird but I'm pretty glad to be back at work!!
Hahahaha..
Despite waking up early (not really that early for me), squeezing to get in to the MRT and some other stuff - I'M HAPPY TO BE BACK!
I guess it's just being around some of my colleagues and doing the job that I enjoy.

HAPPY MONDAY PEOPLE!!!!

New Year Resolutions.

Yong asked me what my new year resolutions were when the clock struck 12.
I was like 'eh..I never had any coz I never remember them one lor'
Hahhaha...this is true..I usually forget my resolutions after I set them.
Anyway, like Objectives, I've decided to set SMART objectives/resolutions (if I can remember them 3 mths down the road)...hahahha

1) To reduce my spending on clothes, bag, shoes & accessories etc a month to S$150- S$200. (I try...wahahaha..)
2) To chat with Amy, Michelle and Ma at least once a week.
3) To see them at least twice a month.
4) To finish watching all 5 seasons of 超級星光大道 by the end of this season. (Am done with season 1!! Yay!!)
5) To stop buying eyeshadows, blushers and primers (makeup la) for the next 6 months. (Keeping my fingers crossed on this - cnfm will break this once I go Japan so set = not setting..wahahahhaa...)
6) To save at least 35% of my salary monthly. (this is my Shi Fang Qian..shhh)
7) To travel overseas (not including Malaysia) not more than 6 times in 2010 (counting my trips - Japan in Feb and Thailand in April, so I have 4 more to go =P)
8) Hopefully, meet my 5 Secondary school sisters more than 6 times a year (we usually only meet on birthdays which equate to 5 times and Christmas so that's 6!)
9) I will learn to control my temper at work and at home better.
10) Need to learn to relax and take things slowly.
11) To start exercising lei..(I know Yong trying to get me to exercise. Will try to go swim 3 times a week starting next week, ok?)
12) Per Xiaxue's blog's last resolution- ' I will be more patient with dumb people.' (I try.... =P)

Added:
13) Not to bring my work laptop home from Mon-Thurs if possible.

Yoga's Showcase Tickets.

It's 2 Jan!!

Yeap, I just came back from Bugis Junction!

Woke up at 1030am!

Yong said he never saw me so enthu before. Haha.

That's cause its been pretty long that I've had an 'idol' step foot in Singapore.

The last was probably Kylie Minogue whose concert was cancelled due to her illness.

Her tickets were pretty expensive too.

Anyway, headed down to Bugis at 11am - not to queue but to eat brunch la!

Was a little worried that there might be a queue so headed to check out the area - NOTHING THERE!

Probably because the age limit was 18 and above so not much kids could go in (Heng!)

Went to foodcourt to makan.

Ate this pasta with italian sausage and bacon.

It wasn't really tasty - the noodles were too dry (cooked way before and not enough oil) and the garlic were a tad bit overcooked.

One word - sucked.

Went on to Kino and than on to Starbucks for a cup of Chai Tea Latte (my new love).

Yong had accompanied me with my nonsense today. Hahahha...

Tickets were supposed to start sales at 1pm but at 12noon when the table was set up, people started to queue.

So I asked Yong to move outdoors.

The queue at 12 noon.

Think they were starting the sales of the tickets so I went to queue too.

Man it was hot!!

But it only took me 20 minutes to get the tix.

Some people in front bought like 10 tickets at one go.

Can see me?

Tadah!

Took this photo at the ticket counter.

While I bought the tickets for Yoga's showcase, Yong went to get the 1240 tickets for 'Bodyguards & Assasins'.

Can't wait to go for the showcase.

Hopes that it's not disappointing.

The re-printed album with a bonus DVD of his showcase in Taiwan.

Was waiting for this to come out before I buy his album.

Oh, went to watch a movie but I didn't have any cardi or jacket.

So headed to buy a shawl from CottonOn.

The shawl was S$10 with any other purchase.

They had this bottle of water for S$1.50 which had the label 'Message in a Bottle', 'A morally conscious water'.

This was supposedly for raising funds for people in need around the world.

They have a CottonOn foundation that supports Charities around the world.

Don't blame me for being a skeptic after all the NKF and Ren Ci saga but they don't state what these charities are and how much of the proceeds goes to them.

FYI, MacDonald states that with the sale of every Happy Meal - 5 cents goes to the Ronald MacDonald Children's Charity.

Albeit it being only 5 cents - they stated how much and where it goes to.

Anyway, this is not the main thing.

I headed in to buy 2 items - the S$10 shawl and the morally conscious bottle of water.

I ended up with a receipt that was this loooooooonnnngggggggg.....
