Zoo Zoo Zoo

Last Saturday, we made a trip to our Singapore Zoo with a couple of friends. We reached there close to 4pm and had only 2 hours to tour the whole place. Though it was a bit rush, it was still fun as it had been years since my last visit to the zoo. By the way it was the little one first visit to the zoo. Well he was not very excited when looking at the animals. He just stare at them. Haha. Guess he must be terrified by the animals. Haha.

Greedy Boy III

This little one reallys love to eat! He practically eats everything including papers. Haha. Well that is good and bad for us. Good is because we will not have a problem of feeding him and him rejecting the food. Bad is because he would make a fuss whenever he sees someone eating and no one is feeding him. This happens even when he finishes his dinner.

So there is the little one feeding himself with his morning snack. He would place 1 piece of the food into his mouth and before the food goes down his throat, he would stuff another piece into his mouth. That explains why his mouth is full in the last picture. Haha.

Work and Family

I have not been updating my blog regularly ever since I started my new job. Weekdays are impossible to blog because by the time the little one is asleep, is almost 10pm. Then I had to bathe, by the time I am done it is almost 10.30pm. Then I surf the internet, 11.30pm and its time for bed.

I hardly had the time to blog during weekends too. Weekends are always filled with housework, looking after the little one and outings. When the night comes, I would be too lazy and tiring to blog.

My new job is also more demanding. I find that time passes extremely fast in this new environment as compared to my previous job. Previously, I could work comfortably till 7pm and called it a day. But now time seems not enough, especially these couple of weeks. There are endless meetings and coordination work to be done. Looking at the bright side, I am learning new things everyday.

Work and family are filling up all my time...how I wish I had more time for myself...

1st YOG

We joined in the heat for the first YOG by witnessing the YOG torch relay. For the first day of the relay, it journeyed through Ang Mo Kio and luckly our estate was part of the route.

A week before the relay, we received the pamplet stating the time and the exact route. The time was from 4.30pm to 5.15pm. We went down slightly before 4.30pm and to our dismay, we had to wait till 5.30pm before the whole team arrived. Nevertheless, the whole event was very joyous and everyone were cheering on for the torch bearer.

Nandos Nandos

Both Hubby and I were on leave ysterday and today as my parent-in-laws were away for a short trip to kuching. So today we went out and the first venue is a second hand car shop then to Hubby's friend newly opened boutique in Bali Lane.

Since we are near Bugis and it is soon to be dinner time, we headed to Nandos at Bugis Junction. Hubby was raving about the Nandos chicken. That was his fave food when he was studying in Perth.

The deco there is quite mexican. Forgotten to ask Hubby whether Nandos originated from Mexico.

The attendees - Hubby, me and the little one. Since we were out the afternoon, so the little one had no porridge to eat for dinner. We had to order some rice and fed him with that with some soup.

Both of us ordered half chicken with some side dishes. We could choose the level of spiciness for the chicken. We had the lowest level one as we feared it might be too spicy for us. In the end it was not that spicy as we think. On the whole the chicken is tasty, just that half chicken is too much for me and the side dishes are not as good as Kenny Rogers.

Another thing that surprises me is the queue. We were there around 6pm and there were no queue. But around 6.30pm, the queue was formed from the restaurant to outside of the building, amazing!

Happy 16 months old

Everyday the little one is learning something new. Last Sunday when I let him play with the tricycle, I realised he is able to manoeuvre forward! He was still going backwards 2 months ago.

Happy 16 months old Jerold! Love you!

Tea, Coffee & Scones

Last Saturday, I managed to meet up with the gals and tony for lunch. After lunch we retreated to Takashimaya's Copenhagen for tea. We ordered their famous scones but I have forgotten to take photos of them. Too busy looking after the little one. The place wasn't child friendly as they do not have any baby seat, so I have to let the little one sit on my lap.

Here is the little one playing with his new toy. A magnetic board which daddy got for him to play while we are having tea.

Their coffee which we think is worth the price as it comes in a big cup.

Their tea seat (excluding the cheesecake) consisting of a big pot of tea and the cup with saucer and the container for sugar.

I had their ice tea which was nothing special. Next time I would like to try their tea but of course it must be done without the little one. Haha.

New Hair Style

The little one new hair style, crew cut! It was done last week by my MIL's friend. Quick and easy.

By the way, this set of photos were taken in the morning before I went to work. The little one was busy taking things out of my drawer. Yes this activity is one of his favourite past time.
