18th Oct 2013 - Admin Day

An exiting day ! Reached Rosyth School around 9+am to settle all the administrative stuff and also at the same time purchase name tags, uniforms, PE attire and school text books etc. Reached home around 11+am, rest awhile, had lunch and started to check the stuff we bought whether is it complete. Primary school books are so colorful now ! Unlike our books last time, dull and boring haha. After packing everything, start with my ironing and complete in 2hrs. Went Compasspt for haircut as weather was so hot lately and my hair as usual keep dropping :( Did my 1st scalp treatment and not sure any help or not.After haircut walk around and head back home. Another long day tmr.... *window shopping

16th Oct 2013 - Shocked !

Received a piece of shocking news from "someone" that she is critically ill today. I am really dumb by words when I received the whatsapp message. Life is really short and I hope she can win this battle. My impression of her - a strong and determined woman. Really really hope that she can pass this difficult stage and recover soon. I feel for her and her family. Somehow it affected our mood cos is very sudden. Should we go and visit her?? I don't know where is she staying actually. Is she comfortable to see people now?? Haiz, I dare not ask her too much as I'm worried I ask the wrong things and make her feel sad. She is very optimistic now and ready to fight the battle. May she had the power to stay on. We want to see the old her back..........

15th Oct 2013 - PH

It was a thundery and stormy morning. I am been woke up at 4am and 7am by the loud thunder storm. Finally up at 8+am as we need to go for breakfast and meet ID to confirm our quote. Both boys had milk at home follow by breakfast again at MAC. Meet ID about 11+am and discuss till 2+pm ! Finally all settled and more concrete on the quotation. Anyway, we can still make changes along the way. Can't wait to see the 3D drawing :)

Reached home around 3pm and received a msg from my cousin that he wants to come over to take the baby stuff. He came at around 4pm and we chit chat and had dinner till 8pm. He is renovating his flat soon so we have lots of common topics now. Waiting to go his house once he collect keys too to take a look at DBSS flat hehe. 2 more working days for me and Friday will be P1 Admin Day. Looking forward and counting down to long wkn.....

14th Oct 2013 - Year End Concert (Preview)

I am really looking forward to this year concert as 1st - Melcolm will be graduating and promoted to P1. 2nd - It will be Melson's first time performing on stage with his classmates. I think I can really have a good good laugh this year :p Knowing that Melson will be performing the "Ali-Baba" song from Melcolm, I keep pestering Melson to dance and show me but he refused. Today, I asked him to dance together with Melcolm and he said ok :) I am so right..... really "laugh die me". Both "monkeys" are so funny hahaha.....

13th Oct 2013 - Sunday

Melcolm got his belated children's day present from his swimming coach. It is calender again for 2014. A really practical and useful gift I feel. Thanks for the nice gesture. During lunch time, my colleague gave us 10 sticks of home made satays ! Surprisingly, it is very nice even without the satay sauce. She told me is her family receipe. I'm gona miss her food after moving. I try to pass her yogurt each time I made too as her son likes :)

Today I finally manage to squeeze some time to pack some stuff for my cousin. Time to slowly clear our unwanted stuff also haha. Am glad that my cousin is not picky and will recycle most of the things we give if not really wasted. I will need to find more time to pack for him at the same time start packing for our move. Dropped the kids with FIL for awhile and also packed the fried rice for him. Meet up with agent and ID for inventory check. After the visit, we change some designs and confirm which are the fixture we want to retain and remove. ID will amend the quote then we will proceed to offically engage them. More bz weekends coming soon......

*where is Melcolm?*

*mountains of ingredients for fried rice*

*clear stock*

*I really can keep, this also have :p*

12th Oct 2013 - Window Shopping

Nothing on today so we went out to "window shop". Need to check price on some of the electrical items and get the dimensions too. Managed to see the hob and hood that I quite like at Mayer but price abit high. Shall shortlist them and see whether I can find other suitable ones elsewhere. Passed by Tru Living and saw 1 sofa that I quite like too. Next we move on to Mega Store as recommended by my cousin. We look around and get the price for aircon, fridge, tv, hob and hood too. Left around 6+ 7pm and home sweet home.

*hubby bought this for us, super nice :)*

*winter melon white carrot soup with some other food for dinner*

*yummy*

12th Oct 2013 - Innovative !

Got this at the doorstep when I reached home yesterday. Hubby fixed it up this morning and we had started to hang it outside the door. I must say that the person who thought of this idea is really innovative. Whether or not his/her invention works is a challenge ! Let's hope those people giving out flyers open their eyes big enough to notice the box haha....

11th Oct 2013 - Deuter Ergonomic Bag

Robinsons mailed me a 25% off voucher so decided to utilise the voucher today during lunch time :) Since I won't be getting alot of stuff so my cousin tag along my purchases *max spend of $250 for 25% off only*. After combing the toiletries dept, I proceed on to kids department and saw they are selling Deuter bag. Got an ergonomic bag for Melcolm and with the discount, I can save abit compared to outside price. Limited design and size but there's blue color for boys. Bought size S for him and if size don't fit will go back for exchange. He is happy :)

8th Oct 2013 - 2nd Meeting with ID

We have more or less confirm on the ID so arrange to meet them today to finalise the quotation since we are on leave. The final quote still came up to about the same amount. As it was getting late, we decided to sign with them after they visit our 2nd house to take measurements and also to check on the condition of the existing built in furnishing. From there, we should be able to decide which are the things we can recycle or tear down to rebuild. Hopefully everything will go on smoothly and confirm this weekend.

8th Oct 2013 - RWS Staycation Day 3

Last day of our staycation already *sad*. We had bf at Starz restaurant and let the boys enjoyed Hard Rock pool again before we checked out. Requested for late check out and we left at 1pm to SEA Aquarium. Is quite a boring place to me as compared to USS but I must say the show to experience Typhoon was good. Heng we were there just before the show start if not we would have missed it. Left RWS around 3pm and off we went home to unpack before going out for our next appt.

PS - All pics in Facebook. Am too busy to upload here haha..

7th Oct 2013 - RWS Staycation Day 2

I'm the first to wake up at 7am as usual. Prepared myself then wake hubby up and lastly the boys. Left about 9am to USS as we will be having our breakfast at Sci-Fi City Starbotz, next to Transformer ride :) There's nothing to roar about their breakfast. Luckily Melcolm only need to pay $11 and Melson foc. By 10+am, we were out and hubby and Melcolm had their 1st ride - Transformer !!! Short queue during that timing. We split and I brought Melson for Sesame Street ride cum show. Hubby and Melcolm joined us later and is my turn for Transformer ride. Asked Melcolm to take the ride with me again and he reluctantly said ok. The queue is damn super long now. We queued for 1hr but is all worth it. Awesome ride !!!! ok.... am too lazy to continue.... the rest of the day were spent visiting the different parts of USS. We managed to sit on most rides except those at Waterworld as scared will get wet hahaha... Catched some of the shows too and I liked the Shrek show. Donkey Live is boring. We were too full and maybe tired for lunch. Snack as we move around USS. Been around at USS since 9+am till 7pm !!! Fully utilised our tickets. Ended the day with Crane Dance at Waterfront. It was a nice show and the kids enjoyed too. Checking out tmr :( happy times always pass very fast lo...... zzzzzzz

6th Oct 2013 - RWS Staycation Day 1

Finally our staycation starts today. Melcolm skip his swimming lesson as we will be going for early check in later :p Reached Hard Rock Hotel and it was kind of dark. This is the hotel theme I guess. Check in was abit slow but still ok. As the non smoking balcony room are not ready, we took a smoking room with balcony instead. Luckily there were no smell haha. The room was spacious with pool view and we loved it. Hard Rock Hotel location was good indeed as it is near most attractions minus off the noisy crowd to casinos. I guess Festive Hotel will be more noisy. Though we have free tickets to Adventure Cove today, decided to skip it as find that is not really suitable for both M. Anyway, Hard Rock pool is already sufficient for us to spend the next few hours there just before dinner. After our swim, we proceed off for dinner then to watch abit of Crane Dance show and end the day with Lake of Dreams show. Looking forward to tomorrow for a whole day of fun at USS woo hoo....... nite nite and the hotel room aircon is erm.... freezing cold !!!!
