Library Books

Borrowed more library books after work. Now usually I read to Melcolm in car in the morning when we send him to in-laws or my mum's place. I would like to cultivate his interest in reading as my auntie say is rather important for kids. Time was rather limited for working mothers like me so I will just do what I can :) Of cos I still want to rest, eat, sleep, watch tv and had my own time too :p At his age, he was really learning fast !

9th Mar 09 - On Leave

Luckily we're on leave today as the wedding dinner end very late yesterday. We reached home abt 11.30pm. Morning usual routine to drop Melcolm and we had bf at KPT kopitiam. Afternoon meet up with my insurance agent as she say want to settle some beneficiary stuff for policy. Blur me thought is Melcolm's policy beneficiary but is actually my own policy beneficiary haha. My agent also print out a summary of our policy (myself, my mum, melcolm). Maybe I always forget what I am buying, good to have the summary now. I better start to remember them now and don't just sign, pay & forget :( We also discuss about Melcolm's policy as I'm thinking to buy somemore for him on top of what hubby had bought last year. Had more or less decide what we want and once confirm will inform my agent.

Congras to Desmond & Oliver

Attended the wedding dinner of Desmond & Oliver at Marina Mandarin. Not much pics taken as Melcolm kept asking me for biscuits. I really must think of a way to stop his biscuits eating habits :( Overall the food was not so bad and very nice ambience especially the stage during the solemization. Lastly, congras to the couple and wishing them a blissful marriage !

*guess what he's looking & pointing? Is the lift outside the ballroom !*

*the couple & very nice stage*

Brown Rice Porridge

First time I cook brown rice porridge for Melcolm. Looks awful and I wonder he will eat or not?
Ingredients - Red Brown Rice, Brocoli, Tomato, Dried Scallops, Fish, Pork Loin (stock)

The Animal Resort & Mycofarm Mushrooms

We went to "The Animal Resort" after the heavy downpour at abt 4+pm. Nothing much to see there and not a good choice to go after rain as is difficult to walk for kids, muddy :( Spent like less than 30mins there and we went to "Mycofarm Mushroom". This place seems to be more interesting. We only visit the Shitake farm as they were about to close when we arrived. Luckily they agree to bring us to take a look and it was really knowledgable to understand what's the Shitake mushrooms incubation process. Neverless, I bought 2 packs of Emperor Shitake mushrooms home for MIL and my mum. I hope is nice as it cost $9 for 1 pack !

After the visit we went to Compasspoint Sakae Sushi for dinner, craving for sashimi again ! Nice to meet 'choco' there, one of the forum mummies. After that went Kiddy Palace buy some stuff for aussie trip and tabao some food to munch at home. Reached home about 8+pm, early hehe. Watched "IP Man" till 1+am then sleep. The show was nice !

GoGo Bag

Went to collect Melcolm's customized GoGo bag today after work. Chosen the trucks design for him as he's fascinated with anything with wheels. He love cars alot and will keep saying cars and "dig dig dig" when he saw trucks or other vehicles. Will let him use this bag when he's old enuf or maybe when he starts school next year? I hope he likes it !

New Haircut Again !

Natas Fair

Hubby finally agree to go Natas Fair today to look see look see any good deals. We decided not to bring Melcolm out as is for sure jam packed at Natas. Thanks mil & fil for taking care of him. Luckily we didn't bring him as we were at Natas for 3-4hrs deciding whether we should proceed with our trip. After discussion with hubby, we finalised that we'll be going aussie. I'm so so so happy and excited. 1st time taking SQ, 1st time to australia, 1st time we travel in plane with Melcolm... well... if I continue to go on veri naggy rite keke.. Now I can't wait to go holiday ! As for the package we booked, I will say is "ex" but considering we will have extension & free accommodation at Canberra, is still worth it rite :p
