so, we will be welcoming 2016 in about another 45mins time.
should be a happy moment, unfortunately, 我有一种莫名的难过. all thanks to the damn news yesterday.
but 也好, 就让一切不好的随2015过去.一切好的就会在2016发生.
回顾2015, the best thing that happened, will be of cuz, the arrival of rayous!!
it had seen me transformed from a normal lady to a super mama.
it had given me an additional role - to be a pillar support to another life.
it also marked the longest period that i was away from work. thank god!
and of cuz, it is the year to change nric... 三张没得找了!!!
come 2016, priority is to change job. yes. it's time to go. 真的没有什么好留念了。也不需要留念了。hopefully can find something decent. hopefully.
and.. towards end of 2016, it will be a good time to try for a 老二, so that he/she can arrive in 2017, which is a gap of 2yrs from rayous. LOL. keke.
and hopefully can get to travel with rayous and both sides of family in 2016. cruise and taiwan maybe. long long time since i sat on an airplane. ahh!!
but then again, if i really do managed to change job.. it wont be so nice to declare that im pregnant and will be going on maternity soon. and if i really do get pregnant in late 2016, then how to accomplish the plan to travel to taiwan in year-end?!
ahh. what contradictions!
anyway, 不想太多. 走一步看一步. 順其自然. 水到自然就渠成!!!
bye bye 2015!
happy 2016 everyone!
may 2016 be a happy, healthy, good, prosperous year for all!

ForGetFuL.. OMG
it has always been said that pregnancy will make you forgetful and absent-minded... oh.. and how true that is...
im really getting more and more forgetful, post-pregnancy
1) left my wallet in the foodcourt. omg. lucky it wasnt during peak hours and there were not many pple at that time. managed to get it back. superrr heng!! i really will faint big time if i lost that wallet.
2) left my handphone in the office toilet. again, lucky managed to get it back.
3) forgot to change to heels (in hubb's car) and wore flats to work.
and the ultimate...
4) looking for my contact lenses... when all the while..... i had already worn them! and it really wasnt until i decided to reach for my spectacles so that i can see clearer to look for my contact lenses, that i realised i had already worn them! super omg!
5) during gift exchange when the 1st recipient wanna open up the present and i suddenly scream 'wait!!!' cuz i thought we havent taken pictures of the presents, when... we just took!!! OMG!
i seriously could forget things that happened just a moment ago!
this is so OMG.
ahhhh!

Back to Work
ahha, time really flies!
one month since my maternity ended and back to work!
ok. im still breathing, kicking.. and in one piece! hoho.
ok, to be fair, last week was the only 5days week for me. rest of the weeks i had been clearing leaves, so only 1 full week so far. havent really feel the full-blown working days yet, but already tired enough. ha, good luck!
ok, back to work, not as bad lah. good to be back and quite happy actually.
and of cuz... back to work.. all the 'unbalance' returned.
it's not about my fellow colleagues being on leaves or mc.
it's about...
1) supposed to start work at 9am, but at 9.30am.. still can whatsapp and ask if anyone want any breakfast..
2) then in the end stroll in at 9.45am..
3) and then happily eat breakfast..
4) then knocking off early cuz need to attend private lessons
5) dozing off at work
6) come in late and leave early
7) take 2hr (and sometimes even more!) of lunch cuz need to go gym during lunch too
8) and etc etc etc...
i seriously wonder how many hours are spent at doing real work. no wonder work always cannot finish and when piled up, will flow over to us. or worse still, just throw mc and expect the remaining to cover.
sometimes i wish for a stricter boss who will manage all these. why is the company even spending money on these pple who are just so darn bloody slack and leeching off others??
sure, u can tell me, if they do it, u also do it lahh.
but... i just cannot bring myself to be sooo slack and shameless. i really really cannot bring myself to walk in at 945am without feeling a tee-wee bit of paisay-ness. and... u never know when the mgmt will kee siao and start pulling out evidence of you not abiding the standard working codes. so, i just dont want to risk it. if the mgmt really wants to get u out of the game, they really will and can go all out to and it's not as if i have never kenna before or seen someone kenna before. so.. never leave urself uncovered and become an easy target to shoot at.
yah. im just one stupid honest staff. not that im boasting, but i sincerely and honestly regard myself as one valuable asset to whichever company that is hiring me. if they lost me, they lost a gem!
it's just so unfortunate that i always have to work with pple who are just so slack. and they really bring my morale down and make me wonder why i should be working so hard. so now.. i wont be as slack as them.. but.. i also will not put in the extra effort le. what for? they skived and got away with it. i wont skive, but.. dont expect me to give in anything more either.
so if i become a boss one day, i will never allow a rotten apple to be in my team. cuz it will manifest and affect the good ones and eventually, the whole basket will rot together and all u got is nothing, but just a team of useless and inefficient pple.

Happy BirThDaY MaMas
celebrated MIL's bday at beng hiang restaurant at jurong east.
last year we also celebrated at this same premise, but last year it was still boon lay raja restaurant. yeah. boon lay raja closed down liao. taken over by beng hiang which used to be at amoy street. still as popular, many pple. the food is ok. but the service is quite lousy - mostly grumpy and non-responsive aunties...
spot the crying rayous!
********
and then mum's bday was celebrated at mooi chin place located at village hotel.
came to know about this place via tv advertisement. advertisements are really quite powerful yeah, if not for it, i wouldnt even know of this hotel and this restaurant.
the food is not bad.. but the service really quite chuiii also. slow.. unresponsive... buay gam wan faces..OMG!
happy birthdays to both my mamas!
wishing them good health, happiness and longevity!

remember how i was saying initially i wanted to choose a wedding card with stickmen drawings?
haha, MIL kenna a wedding bomb and the venue was also at MBS... and... their wedding card was the stickmen drawing card which i initially wanted! LOL

Hubb's BdaY
as hubb requested, we went to the river safari on his bday. hohoho
actually very much the same as s.e.a aquarium but I tot s.e.a aquarium is grander and newer.
and of cuz river safari is the home to the 2 pandas kai kai and jia jia.
can u spot kai kai in the pic?
there he is... lazy...
and that's jia jia.... ahh... also lazy.... LOL
apparently, the 2 pandas eat up to 20kg of bamboo per day each, which is equivalent to 100 bowls of rice each. wahhhh... and the condition that they live in is super shiok one loh... super cold air-conditioning... so much more good life than some human beings.. haiz
and then the panda meals. haha. gimmicks.
the panda buns come in 2 flavours, red bean and chocolate custard. $2.90 each.
the big cup panda cuppacino is selling at $6. really big cup indeed.
and then dinner was at imm swensens. got complimentary fire-house ice-cream for the bday boy
and then cake-cutting. hohoho
happy birthday hubbyby! may you achieve all that you wished for!
and then... instead of buying presents for him.. I bought presents for myself! LOL.
this city chain at imm was having great sale lah.... must buy!!
a CK bracelet watch
and a solvil et titus
love the '天长地久' engraved at the back
I think solvil et titus had one of the most successful marketing tagline - 不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经拥有. this is like soooo classic lah!
but to me.... I really am not so romantic.
I would rather think 如果不能天长地久,那又何必曾经拥有呢?
拥有过又失去,那不是比从来没拥有过更痛苦吗?
haha. yah. that's me. super un-romantic and pragmatic.
bleah.

SaVinG For Rainy Days
you know the saying that goes - save for rainy days..
now i kind of truly understand the meaning of this saying.
remember how i was complaining that i had too much milk flow and that it was causing me trouble?
now......... apparently... my milk production had reduced, which was something that i hadnt anticipated!
isint it supposed to be supply and demand??
obviously as he grows, the demand will increase. so how come the supply went low??!!
ok..fine... how not to go low when it's about lacking sleep, stress at work, rubbish diet......
kind of regretted not saving more during the maternity period. my 'reserves' will soon be depleted given the rate that he is consuming, and the rate that im producing.
OMG!
and i got so worried... that i quickly ask MIL to cook me the papaya fish soup!
hopefully can help salvage the situation abit.
and... it's really time to introduce back the essential food into my diet like fruits and vegetables. and maternal milk.. i still got one tin yet to open.
grrrrr.
this really is about saving for rainy days!
dont be complacent when you are doing well, because you just wont know when you will go down!

My Present =)
my 30th birthday cum 1st yr wedding anniversary cum giving birth cum xmas cum next yr vday's present!
know wad? the same watch at the boutique vs at the authorised retailer, is a difference of $350. and both are located at the same shopping mall. to put it in perspectives, it will be a saving of $350 if u just walk that bit more and compare! hohoho. we bought the watch at paragon's cortina watch after eyeing it at the paragon's gucci boutique. usually authorised retailers will be able to give discounts which boutiques never will. kekekeke. smart consumers, arent we?
and this watch was hand delivered to our house by the salesperson after a small service episode.
braving the rain, take train and change bus just to deliver this watch to me in boon lay, but in the end, i actually suspected if the person did 偷龙转凤 or not.
lucky there's a serial number behind the watch which tallies with that on the warranty.
haii. 我是小人也.
thanks hubb again for the watch! sorry for the hole in your pocket, but i still think i well-deserve it.
=)
