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...

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*

An-Pan

[Kawaii packaging! Couldn't resist and bought them at Watsons]

Walking Up & Down

Recently, I have been reminding myself to use the stairs at my workplace in the morning and evening. As I have not been exercising, so I decided to treat this activity as a form of exercise.

My office is on the fourth storey but I will pant for breathe when I reached the floor. So lousy of me. This is the result of me not doing any exercise.

Hubby often chide me for not doing anything to get rid of those spare tyres around my tummy. I wish I could. But often the tiredness and laziness took over me. Being a working mummy is tough. After a busy day at work, I return home to do another job - looking after the little one. I can only rest and relax when the little one is asleep. By then I would just bath and sleep.

Seeing Red

All the CNY goodies packed in containers with red covers.

Oranges in red basket. The basket was bought during my wedding's Guo Da Li. Now can recycle to use to display the oranges.

Red wheel spring ornament which I bought in Sydney when I was there for study.

The only things that are not red are my new shoes. All flats, no heels because they are not child friendly.

Me Time

Took leave today and got some 'ME' time. In the late morning, I went back to bedok, my mum's place to pack my stuffs together with my sister. Finished packing around 2plus, so we decided to head down to Orchard's new shopping centre Somerset 313 to have some retail therapy.

By the way this is the third time after I gave birth that I actually spent quality time looking through the clothes, trying them on without having to hear the little one crying/fussing away. It felt good and relaxing.

Then we went for dinner at Food Republic. Sis wanted to try out this food stall "麻辣香锅". It is actually selling 麻辣 food without the soup. One just choose the ingredients and they will fry them in 麻辣 style. We chose 4 items and it cost $14plus including the pot base which is the 麻辣 and a bowl of rice. Quite expensive.

As you can see the bowl they used is extremely big. Our food doesn't even fill up half of the bowl. I quite like the food but sis find it too 麻. After dinner is back home to put the little one to sleep. Looking forward to my next shopping trip...wonders when will that be....

Golden Shoes

This pair is a steal buy from BHG J8, 30% discount! Good buy! It is love at first sight so I got it without much hesitation. It is very comfortable too as it has a padded sole. Actually it was husband who is looking for shoes but ended up I was the one who bought. Haha.

what I want for xmas...

Actually I can't really think of things that I want or wish to get. Instead of a list, there are only 2 items. Haha.

First item will be a iphone which hopefully later I will go and get if nothing happens. Have been wanting to get it since launch of iphone 3GS half year ago. But wasn't able to get it as I was still on contract with M1. Now my contract is over, so I can go and get it. Better still, I have different telecoms I can choose from. Yippee!

Second item will be a LeSportSac Baby Ryan bag! Chanced upon it on the website a few days ago. Always wanted to get a diaper bag for myself as the bag which we are using now is a backpack and Hubby commented that I looked ugly carrying it. Haha. So this LSS bag is the perfect size for me and it is roomy enough to put all of bb's stuffs. Not sure whether it is selling in Singapore. Hopefully I will have the time to shop for it.

Random #2

Took these photos a few weeks back but have forgotten about them until now.

Going to leave the little one at home with my PIL while the rest of us go out with relatives whom had came from overseas.

View from my PIL's flat.

Christmas decorations hanging on the trees.

My 2nd time on Singapore Flyer. Relatives insisted we take a ride with them.

Full view of Singapore Flyer from Marina Barrage. Yes it is my 2nd time there too.

White clouds, blue sky and kites, great combination!

Random

Another round of test shots with my VQ1015. Not much photo subjects at home, only can snap photos of my boy. Haha.

New Toy

My first toy camera, VQ1015 entry. Actually I paid for a VQ1005 but the seller send me this instead. They have send wrongly but I benefited from it because this model is more expensive. Haha.

It is hard to capture the pictures at the direction you want. Either it will be more to the right or the left. Below are some decent shots. I guess I will have to trial and error. Maybe that is the fun of toy camra. Love the lomo effects!

Pressies

My bro and SIL went for their ROM honeymoon to Japan, Toyku and they spent 3 weeks there! Envy them! Lucky SIL's auntie is staying over there, so their accomodation is free. Anyway they came by last Saturday and brought us some gifts.

1 :: Winne the Pooh cover for DS lite - only can find such kawaii covers in Japan

2 :: Rement Disney donuts handphone straps

3 :: Made in Japan hand towels for bb

4 :: DHC face masks

When can I go Japan?

Typical Sunday

Most of our Sundays are spent in our own flat. My day starts very early...

7am+ :: Bb wakes up and I feed him

7am+ to 8am+ :: play with Bb until he is sleepy

8am+ :: Bb had his nap

8am+ to 10am+ :: had my breakfast and do my housework

10am+ :: Bb wakes up from his nap and have his milk

11am+ :: bath the little one

As for afternoons, either we go to my mum's place or we stay at home. At night, we will go back to my MIL's place and another week starts again.

Sleepy Eyes

My 2nd cup of tea tonight. Hoped it will help in keeping my eyes open while I worked.

Woke up at 5.30am this morning as bb woke up and did not want to go back to sleep. Only managed to sleep for an hr at 8am when he went back to sleep after his feed. Woke up at 9am to get prepared to visit Marine Barrage (photos later) with hubby's family.

Had lunch at Marina Square's Putian and came back to our flat. Then hubby's friends came over, had dinner and left around 10.30pm. I had my shower and started doing my work.

Eyes are closing now, better drink more tea and quickly finish my work.

Singapore Flyers

Set my foot on Singapore Flyers last Sunday. Well, the experience wasn't that fantastic because the capsule was qite slow moving that one wouldn't feel the moment at all. Other than that, the scenery and the company were the next best thing. The photos will tell all.

Guess I will not be taking a ride in the capsule for the next couple of years. Haha.

I Want to Complain!

That I am so stressed with my workload at the moment! With less than 3 weeks to my delivery date, right now I am loaded with tonnes of work to do. Rushing for a huge tender which is closing this Friday and I am not even halfway done. Feeling quite helpless with this tender as this is the first time I am quoting for a food court and this food court got so much weird stuffs!

Other than this tender, I still have 2 more shops to quote! Why does all the work come together at the same time? Why I cant just relax and have a normal workload while awaiting for my delivery date to come? Why I have to bring work home to do every day and weekend? So tiring. I hate this tender! Taking up so much of my time! Sucks!

Where is FORK?

Saw this car in front of ours while on the way to work. Was asking Husband why the car owner wants to stick that wording on the car. He replied that the word is a name of a certain car company or something like that. On the every same day, on the way home, we saw the same word on the same car model but it was red in colour. Haha.

Current Craze

I am addicted to playing Pet Society by Playfish on Face Book! This is the first thing I do when I reach office every morning while I eat my breakfast. Haha. Been trying hard to earn paw points and money so that my house will be upgraded and have more money to buy more furniture for the house. Ganbate! p(^o^)q

我看到。。。

Yoga 林宥嘉！昨晚，我和老公和家公到Clementi 去吃纸包鸡。老公就跟我说很多mediacorp 艺人会来这里吃。说着说着，我就看到四个人走进来。其中一个就是林宥嘉！好巧呀!

Aiyah, I have no guts to go up to him to take photo. Can only look at him silently. Haha. What a close encounter.

The Hero Factory

Got this link from San'd blog. Very funny. You all should try it too. After numerous attempt to download the picture. here is my type of heroine. Haha! Pretty?
