Today my 1st day at work. Wake up super early at 6am cos not sure hows the timing like so better be early than late. Therefore, I reached office super early !! Early morning was mainly introduction and my director had also prepared a "To Do List" for me to act on it. He is oso quite new in sg, jus started work here abt 3wks ago so alot of tings he's not sure too.

Came lunch hour, went lunch with boss and another jap guy. Boss treat me jap food at 1 of the resturant at Suntec today :) He said it is a "welcome" lunch for me hehe. Had sukiyaki with beef and rice for lunch. He not too bad hor :p but i think is still too early to tell lah cos today oni the 1st day. I will c hw it goes next few days. After lunch jus get back to work and wait to go home c Melcolm lol. At abt 5.30pm, boss say if nothing much can leave opic already. Haa so early and like not so nice to leave so early the 1st day. I told him i will finish up my current work then let him know b4 I leave so I left opic abt 5.50pm hee.

Reached home abt 7+pm and play with Melcolm awhile. Mum say he got eat the mango puree today, so weird, yest feed him he don like, today he finish all ! Good boy, at least didnt waste my effort. He perform something new for me and hubby to see just now also. When hubby make the tik tik tik sound at Melcolm, he will shake shake shake his head hahaha.. funi siah.. we kept disturbing him just now. Came home and took 2 pics with him hehe.. tats all about today.. hope this job will be smooth sailing for me :)

Last day of freedom before I start work !!!

Today finally my last free day before I start work. Morning wake up as usual and went over to mum's place. Actually wanted 2 deposit Melcolm at my mum's place and leave but lazy to go home. Also, i want to see him more today !!

Took some pics for him in the morning wen he bath, NAKED pics !!!

Late afternoon, I started to make mango puree to freeze. Feed him abit of mango puree but he don seems to like. Jialet, I made 4 cubes of mango puree leh. In the end, I made pear & sweet potato puree to freeze too for standby in case he really reject the mango puree next 4 days. In total, there are 4 cubes of mango puree, 1 cube of pear puree, 3 cubes of sweet potato puree. I had decided to only freeze the puree on a weekly basis so the frozen puree wont be kept too long. However, will see how it goes when I start work in case super busy. Here's the pics of my hardwork today haha ;)

Today's plan is to cook threadfin fish porridge for Melcolm and to clear as many things as possible in my outstanding list b4 tuesday hehe.

Had lunch after cooking porridge, hubby bought my fav tiramisu but I'm too full for it, ate the tiramisu in the night and yummy yummy, definately nicer than CoffeeBean 1, so SINFUL !!!

Morning wake up abt 9am. After bath & feed Melcolm & had bf already abt 10+ am so me & hubby decided not to collect Melcolm's passport this week cos it will be very rush. Hopefully will be able to collect next saturday. Decided to go collect hubby graduation fotos samples then to Marina Sq to buy the bb stuff and after that to Hougang Point NTUC buy slow cooker. We let Melcolm slp until full full then went out in case he cranky.

Left home about 2+pm to collect hubby graduation fotos samples. Not too bad, they can actually let us bring the fotos samples home to select so we left pretty fast to Marina Sq. Will scan the fotos wen I'm free so SIL can view it here. Reached Marina Sq abt 4pm and had a quick lunch, of cos with dim sum hehe. After that went to feed Melcolm at the nursing rm and took a pic there for Melcolm & daddy,

Went to Kiddy Palace after feeding and bought the following items, all the stuff x 2.

After Mothercare went to JL to check whether they have Avent bottles as Kiddy Palace out of stock. Reached JL and they having 20% off for nursery items, haiz, should have went there 1st instead of Kiddy Palace. Luckily got Avent bottles there and bought the following items at JL,










Melcolm also start to cranky at JL so we left for home after we purchase most of the tings we need. Hubby was commenting I mus b very happy today cos bought so many tings ;) but hor none of the tings belongs to me leh.. all the tings is Melcolm's stuff :p

Oh ya, i tink Melcolm realli love my bed. He keep flipping on my bed. Just a single morning, he had flipped abt 4-5 times. Then jus now reach home on his cot, he flipped again but hit his head, cot was too small for him to flip yeah.

Oh ya, feed Melcolm spinach puree today and was rejected by him totally. He gave me the sulky face look that when u c his expressions u would stop feeding immediately. This is the 1st puree he rejected so far from my record and I decided not to prepare this for him anymore. In future will add to his porridge let him try again.

At night received my items - 2 more books for the Leappad system. In total gotten 5 books for Melcolm but i haven try a single book out yet haha, jialet, buy but no time to use. And also received the Angel Wipes sample from Ivy (one of the aug thread mummy). Thanks Ivy :) Going to let Melcolm try and if no negative reactions will order from the supplier.

I'm returning to the workforce real soon

This morning went to agency and sign the appointment letter for my 2 weeks temp job and also submit the necessary documents and collect time sheet. Finally, I'm confirming starting work next Tues - 15th Jan 08. Is been 6mths since I last work, hopefully will be able to catch up. Looking forward to my new job and hope to continue there if everything goes on well.

After agency, went to Chinatown to get some barangs as need to put at my mum place for her usage when Melcolm is there after I start work. Bought a vacuum flask and a small saucepan for her to boil bigor. After that saw cny wear for Melcolm, wah, so happy hehe. Bought 1 suit for him but price is more expensive then the one I bought from BP. Jialet, haven earn $$ spent $$ again, cant resist. The one i bought from BP is too big for him also. Maybe will let him wear next yr if he can squeeze in hehe. Look how happy he is in his new cny wear,

Updates

Got quite a few things to update after hubby bday celebration haha..

Firstly, i had stop pumping on hubby bday, wat a great day to remember hehe.. supply really low so might as well stop now cos is tiring too. Too bad canot endure until 6months.

Secondly, started Melcolm on pumpkin puree on Sunday and so far he's taking it well. I will say that pumpkin is 1 of his fav food. I tasted the pumpkin puree on monday, is sweet hehe, i love it too !!

Thirdly, most pro will be starting work next wk for temp for 2wks, pending to sign agreement with agency. Hopefully this new job will b ok and can continue after 2wks. Anyway, no harm trying since I'm not working now. If don't like just leave after 2wks lol.

Think i gona miss Melcolm very much after start work. This few days will have alot of things to do n prepare liaoz. Also, i guess no time for blogs too.

Happy 5th ROM Anniversary

Today is me & hubby 5th ROM anni, time flies. With Melcolm now, I think the time not only flies but zoom pass us. Didnt really celebrate today as hubby was working. However, we left Melcolm with my mum at night and went la kopi after dinner. I finally satisfied my Tiramisu cravings although is not very nice.

SIL oso bought the Bumbo Tray for Melcolm when she went TMC. Thanks for the bumbo tray. Hope with the tray, he's able to sit on his bumbo longer.

Just now during the last feed of the day, Melcolm oso break his record of milk intake, he had 220ml of milk and went to his lala land after that hehe. Don't dare to feed him somemore after the 220ml, scared he vomit.

Last but not least,
Happy 5th ROM Anniversary to hubby and many more years to go !!!

Happy New Year 2008

Year 2008 finally arrives !

Happy New Year to everyone.

Today was stuck at home the whole day as too lazy and nua to go out haha. Had pizza for lunch. The pizza was from my house kopitiam. Kinda weird right, selling pizza and pasta at a kopitiam with an "angmo" chef. The pizza was not too bad, thin crust 1, i like :) Dono will the pizza shop survive for long or not, i shall see hee.

Evening time feed Melcolm the potato with carrot puree again. Today he seems to be better as he was able to finish all his puree. Maybe he had already got used to the potato taste hehe.

I'm feeling lousy and moody today also, wat a day to start 2008. Shall not mentioned any further, looking forward to my 5th ROM Anni and hubby bday this sunday :) Hope all these will brighten up my mood.

Here's the first 2 pics of Melcolm taken in year 2008, let him wear new clothes today as New Year but however the shorts like still too big for him.

Happy New Year Eve

Today finally the last day of 2007 !! Time flies !! Most fruitful to have Melcolm in 2007 and sad tat haven found a job yet. Is ok, hope 2008 can be better :)

Wake up as usual with the daily routine but today will do some packing and change bedsheet to welcome 2008 hehe. Today gona let Melcolm try new food - Potato puree. I will mix the potato puree with carrot in case he cant accept the taste of potato.

During feeding, he seems very disinterested. Opps, he don't like potatoes, he give me an unhappy face when I feed him and push out some of his food. Today is the first day so i shall see how's the progress next few days. He only managed to finish 1/2 his puree.

Came evening time hubby was back. Initially plan to go Bishan la kopi but after tat decided not too as Melcolm was sleeping so soundly, "bu she de" wake him up. However, i still couldnt stop complaining to hubby it was so boring hahaha. My friend Shirley and hubby and baby Jonathan drop by during evening time too. It was the first time I met baby jon jon. He was huge !! A hyper active baby too, even when I carry him he still want to move here and there haha. No wonder his parents called him a "monster" *wink wink*. Here's some pics taken with baby Jon, take a look at the pics with melcolm and jon jon so cute :)

* Thanks Shirley for the milk powder and teether

Since is New Year 2mr, I hadtook out 2 sets of new clothes for Melcolm to wear to welcome 2008. He will be wearing a new set of pyjamas *see above pics with baby Jon* and a new set of clothes tomorrow, hahaha, bo liaoz mummy :p hopefully the clothes wont be too big on him yeah...

Here's wishing all a very Happy New Year 2008 !!!
