Ian's 2nd Birthday at Rochester Park

We went to Ian's 2nd birthday party at Rochester Park.
Alaric had a great time there but was only there for a while because he woke up at 5+am that morning. Over excited I guess. He knocked out straight when he is home. Slept without having lunch!! You can imagine how tired he was.
We bought a first tooth/curl box for Ian.

Even have his name engraved on the gift. We hope Ian and family like the gift.
Photos of the day will be posted soon.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (original title in Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor – "Men Who Hate Women") is an award-winning crime novel by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his Millennium Trilogy.

At his death in November 2004, Larsson left three unpublished novels that made up the trilogy. It became a posthumous best-seller in several European countries as well as in the United States.[1] Larsson, who was disgusted by sexual violence, witnessed the gang rape of a young girl when he was 15. He never forgave himself for failing to help the girl, whose name was Lisbeth - like the young heroine of his books, herself a rape victim, which inspired the theme of sexual violence against women in his books.[2]

Alaric's Last Visit

It was his last visit to his playmate's place on Friday.
We didn't even have the chance to bid goodbye as they were going for a holiday over the weekend when we are moving over to Home Sweet Home.

We are already missing their company. Hope to arrange a lunch next week with them in town to catch up.
Sigh, my day time seems harder to pass by without their company.

Havoc at Ian's house

We went to Alaric's playmate, Ian's house today.
Mummy MeiHui prepared sushi but Alaric wasn't appreciative. Well at least I ate quite a lot.
They had fun. Snatching toys, pushing one another, making a mess in the room etc. Boys are boys!! MeiHui has got a air-conditioned playroom with tons of Fisher Price toys for Ian. So we stayed in the room most of the time.
Time flies. 2 hours just passed by in a wink of eye. We haven't even chat enough. I bet the boys haven't played enough too.
It's great staying indoors at times and cut our shopping days when the boys are fussy-both teething period. Looking forward for more of such days, simply chill at her place, need not worry about them fussing.
Great start of the week for me!

I am very lucky to have great neighbours. Every neighbour on the same floor were nice people.
There is a Taiwan family whom have a pretty daughter and is also Alaric's playmate.
I bet we will miss their company when we move to our new place.
A lovely picture taken today. They are hugging each other. Sweet, isn't it?

Mummy Friends

I get to know some great mummy friends from forum.
We share experiences, laugh and joke about our little ones, grumbles about all being a mummy/wife/daughter-in-law.
Now I have my weekly outing with one of the mummy friend called MH. We often lunch at restaurants like "Tai Tai" and do our grocery shopping together. At times, we also make some simple dishes and chill at home. We are also in search of great deals and grabs like aunties with our rascal in bjorn.
She had been a pal that shares good things with me readily. Thanks to her I did save much money on daily essentials.
Hope we can still have outing in future after I moved to the east.
Cheers to all mummy friends!

Childhood Bestie

I have a bestie which I have known her since Primary One. Her name is Denise Tan.

We had been through many things together;
- school days where we spend most time together during primary school. Especially primary 6 when we were in the same class.
- shopping days. I miss Bugis.
- chilling out at cafes. Indulging in cakes and other sinful stuff. CAN cafe!
- being with each other after heart break. Being each others listening ear.
- visiting me at workplace and 'eat snake' together.
And endless great moments we spend and cherished.

Now that I am married and have a rascal to attend to. We no longer have the luxury time to spend time and chit chat like before.

But she had been very understanding and accomodating. No more cosy cafe and and posh dine outs. Instead she makes effort to visit me at my place for a simple homecook meal.

I appreciate and cherish the time she visits. Although sometimes we didn't even get the time to chat and catch up when there are so many things I wish to share with her. The reason? My rascal needs all attention and refuse to zzz.

Being able to dine and have a quick catch up chat makes me feel contented and blissed to have a bestie.

May my bestie finds the man of her life soon and joins me in the parenthood club.
