I Am Just Another Silly Mum..

Like any other mums, i just love giving my notti ones the food they enjoy and it's always priceless when they give you that silly grin on their cheeky faces!.. 

  

Well, it comes with a price thou.. Princess Grace is down with a bad cough right after the ice-cream treat.. And, mummy got scolded by daddy for giving her ice-cream!  Sigh..

Have U Been To The Car Boot Sale?

If you have not made plans on where to go next weekend, visit the carboot sales at Changi Airport! You can find plenty of clothes, kids stuffs etc at prices lower than retail outlets! Here are some pictures i took at the last carboot sale at Changi Airport!

We Are On a Road Trip..

Yes!! Again.. :) 

  

By the time you read this.. We should be making our way to Genting or have arrived there already!.. 

  

Don't miss us too much cos we will be home in a couple of days!! 

Hua Hin and Back in 3 Days!

We left for the airport at 5.30am, the kids were still half in dreamland, afterall, there wasn't anything very exciting for the kids to look forward to in a quiet resort except for the swimming pool.

We checked in and boarded the aircraft without much fuss since they kids are frequent travelers on the plane..   By the time the aircraft too off, they were getting a little restless asking for their toys, colouring books, and 3 of them were busy talking to each other..   :) Daddy and mummy had a chance to take a short nap while on the plane while the kids were entertaining each other. 

Upon arrival in Bangkok, we breezed thru immigration and our pre-booked van was waiting for us outside. Another 2.5hours by road (the van was very cheap! THB1000 per way, that's slightly below $50 per way!) Mummy felt a little nauseous from the speeding and weaving through traffic but good thing manage not to puke!

  

Around 12.30pm, we arrived at our reasort "Let's Sea Hua Hin"

  

The compound outside the hotel was very much still under construction, so we wasn't very impressed with it. Once the van turned in, it's so pretty!!.. 

Here are some pictures to share of the resort.. Till mummy figures out how to download the pictures from the new camera to the iphoto, and share on the home network to transfer them to her macbook air, we will not get to see pictures of the kids.. :(

How Did The Hua Hin Honeymoon Ended Up With 3 Light Bulbs?

Daddy and Mummy was supposed to go for a short "honeymoon" to Hua Hin, so a day before the trip, they drove Nick and Grace to grandmama who stays in Johor. On the way home from Johor, mummy declared that she misses the 2 rascals.  Surprisingly, daddy too,  admitted that he misses them.. 

  

Daddy dropped mummy off at home, Daddy went back to office for meeting and clear work. 

11am

Mummy smsed Daddy : Wonder what are your kids doing now.. Is Grace looking for me?

Daddy replied : Dunno. I call them after meeting k.. 

11.15am 

Daddy smsed Mummy : Grace is playing. Have not started looking for u or me yet!

* Dissappointed.. I thought at least my girl would miss me.. :(

12.10pm

Mummy smsed Daddy : Dunno Grace ate lunch liao not.. 

12.20pm

Daddy replied : Mama say ate liao, now drinking her milk.

Mummy to Daddy : Did she look for me?

Daddy replied : No.

* Heart-broken.. 

1pm

Mummy to Daddy : Dunno Grace and Nick will cry not tonight..

* No reply.. :(

  

1.10pm

Mummy to Daddy : Shit leh.. I think i miss that 2 very badly leh! HOW?? 

  

1.30pm

Mummy buay tahan, called the travel agency and check if there are seats for the kids.. Agency says flights are full! Change flight? Cannot.. All other flights are just as bad cos it's a long weekend! Darns! Put the kids on waiting list...

  

1.45pm

Mummy smsed daddy and told him what she just done.. 

Daddy replied : Not something new.. As expected.

 

3pm

Travel agent called.. The kids flight seats are confirmed!.. Issued tickets

Mummy smsed daddy : Seats are confirmed, gone ahead to issue tix liao.. We got to fetch them home tonight.. Come home soon.. :)

Daddy replied : So honeymoon-ing with 3 light bulbs is it? 

  

Daddy was home at 5.30pm, and we left for Johor to pick the kids.. Massive jam on the causeway, we only reached MIL's place close to 9pm.  MIL was shock to see us. The 2 rascals were definitely happy. Nick told MIL, "see, my mummy will come and fetch me home to sleep. No need to change pajamas!", and by the time we got home, 1am! Tired.. 

To be continued..

The Latest Toy at Home

Nick has been learning the electone for quite some time already.  He's been practicing his pieces using the old keyboard that mummy has. Yesterday, while the kids were away, mummy had time to google and look for some 2nd hand electone, and chanced upon this that was going at $150.

  

It's not a latest model or anything huge and impressive, mummy thinks it's probably one that mummy used when she was a little girl, so it could mean it's approx. 10-15 years old..  But for $150 bucks, mummy couldn't resist the temptation!  Mummy sms-ed the seller and to asked on the condition and if the price is negotiable, and decided to view it with daddy that same night. 

   

After viewing the item, mummy decided to get it from Nick, offered $120 for the item instead of $150. The seller accepted the offer, and even helped daddy to load it into the car! 

  

And here we are, home with our new toy! :P

Mummy thinks if Nick is willing to spend time practicing on the instrument, and use it for the next 2 years at least, her $120 bucks is well spent! 

Daddy, although wasn't too supportive of the decision to purchase this, told Nick if he really enjoys playing the electone, he has to practice hard and daddy will upgrade the electone to one that he uses in class (which i heard from the teacher, it costs almost 7k)! 

PS Daddy :  I hope u mean it cos mummy will from now insist Nick practice cos mummy also likes that model! This one is such a far cry from the EL900 series that grandpa bought for mummy when she was learning the electone. 

  

* Grandpa was pretty upset when he came over and saw the electone that mummy bought! He was grumbling that there wasn't ebay at that time, that he ended up paying  almost 20k for mummy's electone and mummy only learned for 2 years and gave up learning afterthat!  Well, grandpa's 20k wasn't spent for nothing! At least, mummy learnt that she shouldn't cough out that much on the children's instrument until they are very interested to continue learning it after a few years!

  

PPS : Not sure if it's only grandpa and daddy, but it seems like the man in our family isn't very keen on the kids learning music!

There is Something On Mummy's Sleeve AGAIN!

Daddy isn't working this coming Monday cos he's having a replacement off as the Deepavali holiday is on a Saturday.  Mummy came up with a brilliant idea.. She's made plans to pack the kids to granny's place for the long weekend...

   

So, make a guess on what mischief is on her sleeve again? :P

  

She'll drop you some clues.. 

Can you guess where are they going?

Our Hong Kong Getaway

You must be wondering why i haven't posted any pictures or blogged about our short getaway.. 

Well, we went to HK, stayed at Disneyland thru-out, on the way home, lost our dear camera. :(  Nick was in-charge of carrying that bag with the thomas mooncakes, camera, toys, some spare cash, and a little finger food that they can snack on the plane. But, he left them in the hotel room before check out, and, silly mummy didn't check when we left! 

Not until did we reach the airport, then realized the bag was nowhere to be found!  Nick was crying cos he couldn't find his thomas mooncakes while he badly wanted to show daddy.. 

Anyways, to cut the story short, we came home, called the hotel, and, yes.. Hotel found the bag.  Almost everything was intact in the bag, except, the spare cash and the camera are missing. 

I hope the someone who took the cash and the camera would at least post the memory card back to us..  He/she can keep the cash and camera.. I just want my memory card back! *sob sob*

An Funny Email From a SMH Forum Mummy

We usually sell off some of our pre-loved items on the SMH Forum.. Partly to get back some money so that we can buy other stuffs for the kids, the other reason is to clear off the toys that the kids have outgrown. 

  

Today, got hubby to send down the items we have sold off to a mummy from the SMH Forum.  2 hours after she gotten the items, she dropped me an email. 

  

"Hi, i have received the items and like them very much. BTW, your hubby looks very cute and handsome! Thanks again! :) "

  

Haha.. How should i reply? 

  

Like this? 

"Glad you like my items.. And thanks for the compliments that my hubby looks very cute and handsome. " ??? 

Grace and Her Panties

Lately, our lil princess has gone crazy over her mickey mouse clubhouse. So much so that she likes anything and everything that has that mouse or that 3 circles that resembles like mickey mouse. 

  

Today, as mummy was keeping the laundry, mummy also kept her new mickey mouse panties that they bought from Disneyland.. There was a total 7 of them! 

  

10 mins later, Grace announced she needed to pee so mummy accompanied her to the toilet.. 

  

To mummy's surprise, Grace pulled down her not 1, not 2, not 3 but all the 7 mickey mouse panties that she was wearing before she could start peeing! 

Mummy couldn't help it but burst and laughed so hard that Grace stared and asking if mummy is ok.. :P

We Are Leaving On A Jet Airplane..

Nick, Grace and myself are heading to the "买东西，吃东西! 买东西，吃东西!" (buy things, eat things) country for 2 days! 

Don't miss us too much while we are away! :P

Life without Internet for 60 mins..

Am so dependent on technology these days.  I cannot travel without the lappy, cannot be at home without connecting to the internet!!

 

Last Wednesday, i was surfing the net around noon, then, "You are not connected to internet" popped out on my screen, glanced at my mio box, wireless light - on, broadband light - blinking, Internet light - RED!! Damns! Means what, means what? I got into a panic mode! Tried picking up the phone, line dead! No sound!  Red light on the internet means no internet connection! Shit.. Panic.. Several thoughts ran thru my mind... Was there not enuff funds in the giro account that they decided to cut my line? Is the mio box spoil?  I was supposed to change a new modem since we upgraded the speed, but i didn't! Is it telling me i have to do it NOW? Y NOW?? I need the internet now! What what?? Panic.. I started breaking out in cold sweat!

  

I started hunting around for my mobile phone to call hubby, never mind that the home phone wasn't not working, i still have my mobile.. Found the phone, called hubby and told him bout the home network.. Hubby was much cooler (maybe because he was in office and still had the internet).. He told me he saw the Singtel van at the carpark this morning, so perhaps they were doing some upgrading work.. I looked out of the window and yes, i saw the van.. Felt slight better.. But still, i had the urge of running downstair asking them how long will they take to be done because I NEED MY INTERNET!

Never mind.. I have dishes to do in the kitchen, so i comfort myself, i'll finish up the dishes and i'll come back and check.. Still not ok, i'll go down and ask the people.  Went to the kitchen, washed up half the dishes, couldn't resist, ran back to the study room and clicked "refresh".. Still not connected to the internet.. Damns.. 

  

Walked back to the kitchen, finished up washing, took out the food i need to de-froze for dinner. 10 mins had pasted, i walked back to the room, stared at the mio box, internet still RED! *argh* It's driving me crazy.. 

  

Walked into my bedroom, changed my clothes, opened the home door wanting to go downstairs to ask those guys.. Then i remembered i had the M1 Vodaphone USB stick.. Made a dash for it instead, plugged in to my lappie.. Thank god, i am connected again.. *phew* Network speed definitely is much slower than the home line, but at least i am connected.. 

  

30 mins later, i saw the internet light turn green and it's blinking.. Pulled out my USB stick and changed back to home network.. Surfing again happily..

Haha.. Hopeless right?
