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.

Random Photos

Some photos of the little one taken by my iphone.

Mess

What is the common thing that kids like to play or do? That is to take out anything from anywhere, fiddle with the thing for a while and leave it on the floor in a mess! No matter how many times you tell them not to take but when you turn your back around, they will run to take the 'forbidden' thing.

The photo is a typical layout of the mess in the room when he is inside while i am ironing clothes. The little one will just poke his fingers everywhere, playing with every possible things he can lay his hands on.

The result? We have to pick up after them.

Voyage de La Vie

Last Wednesday, hubby managed to get a free ticket to watch "Voyage de La Vie" at RWS. But he can't be watching it alone, so he paid for 1 ticket for me to watch with him.

I was expecting something like Cirque de Soleil, however I was disappointed. The show is like a mix of musical cum circus show. There was no 'wow' factor. There were only 2 performance that bowled me over - the 15 -year-old Russian contortionist Alexey Goloborodko who is able to twist himself into a pretzel and the crossbow performance by crossbow artist Martti Peltonen.

Probably I was tired from work as there were a couple of minutes I had my eyes closed. Haha. Overall I felt it was a mediocre show.

He Bangs

Saw the red marks on his nose and nose bridge? That was the result of him climbing up my in laws' bed and banging himself onto the head board. This incident happened a couple of weeks ago. When I got home and saw him that night, his nose was as red as a reindeer. It was even redder than the photo.

The little one is so active now. Always climbing up and down. Even when he is walking, he will also fall down. There were a few occasion that he walked and fell with a bump on his forehead. Are boys always so active as compared to girls?

Procrastination

Ever since I started in my job, I have been lazy and tired to blog. By the time I reached home, put the little one to bed, bathed, it would be well over 10pm. I would still switch on my laptop and log into Facebook. However I would usually dozed off while surfing through Facebook. Haha.

This applies to weekends too. I would still wake up around the same time as weekdays because the little one is a early riser. By the nightfall, I would be tired from looking after the little one and all the housework.

Everyday I would tell myself - ok its time to type my blog but day after day due to the above reasons it was being put off. Hopefully I would try to blog at least once a week from now on. *cross my fingers*

Jerold Boy - 15 months old

Hey our little one is 15 months old! Everyday he is changing and learning new things. Everything around is interesting. He would open every drawers and take the items out to play. He would touch every of the buttons on any electronic devices eg the cable TV box, DVD player, fan etc. Even the detergent bottles are fun for him. He is really a little devil in disguise of an angel. Haha.

No matterwhat, he is always our 开心果! He never fails to cheer us up when he is around us. Love you!

New Beginning

Today marks a new beginning for me as it is my first day of work at the new company. Yes I had left my previous job of 8 years and moving on to what I deem and hope to be a greener pasture for me.

After working in the same company for 8 years, work had become very stagnant. Of course there were times I wanted to leave but the pulling factors were not great and on a couple of occasions I were asked to stay after I threw in the letter.

However, this time round I stayed firm on my decision to leave after a couple of rounds of talks with my previous boss. It was really a tough decision. My previous boss was rather unhappy with my decision. So when he requested me to extend my 1 month notice period, I agreed. I helped to finish a tender, forsaking any break time before the new job.

Well, though I cannot have a break, I was paid in cash for my 32 days of outstanding leaves. Hopefully this new company will be a greener pasture to me.
