ByE ByE 2017!

ok, few more hours to welcoming 2018!

bidding farewell to 2017 is definitely less emo than bidding farewell to 2016.

remb i was quite unhappy when welcoming 2017, but, im quite happy now. 

haha

2017, as usual, has been supeeeeer fast!

it has been a good year. and much had been achieved.

i was promoted (finally!). hubb was promoted. he also obtained his PE registration. we have a new car. we engaged a helper. rayous started school. and of cuz, the arrival of raythorous (and 4months away from work again. yeh)!  

come 2018. 

减肥!!!!

if cannot 减, at least, dont 肥 somemore. 

yeah. must really start some dieting and exercising after i stop breastfeeding liaoo.

rayous will be starting full day at the child-care come 2jan. hopefully he can adapt well, learn more things, have more fun, and have more friends. 

raythorous will be reaching his 1yo in end april. must find a place to celebrate his bday. looking forward!

travel wise, taiwan is already in the plan. looking forward, but also very fearful. 2 kids and 2 folks. dont know if can handle or not. shall see. 

work wise, shall just continue to work hard. doubt there will be any major movements. 

yeap. 

so.. counting down to welcoming the new year.

all the best everyone! 

RaYous HairCuT

yay!! 

rayous finally had his hair cut at the salon! 

yeah, dont know since when, he had refused to cut hair at salon. no choice, i had to resort to cutting for him myself. did the diy cut a couple of times liao. every time just trim short only. i had contemplated buying the shaver, but i dont know how to use, scare will ruin his head. so every time, just trim trim only.

today we happened to walk past this salon. then we asked him if he wants to play the car and cut hair. to our surprise, he agreed! so we hurriedly went into the shop. who knows, he said papa to cut first. and so, the papa set an example, to prove to him that it's gonna be fine. 

observing the papa receiving hair cut.. 

and the face... hahaha

so after the papa finished his hair cut, know what? mr rayous chicken-ed out! gave us excuses, say want to play the other car first, to go eat first etc. when we insisted him to cut first, he started to throw tantrum and said he doesnt wanna cut liao. no choice, we let another person go first, while we try to pacify him. at the end, he still insisted that he doesnt want to cut. 

wahh. both hubb and i were totally pissed. we waited for so long, and hubb purposely went to cut his hair.. in the end, this rayous chickened out! 

so we kind of chided him. but after that, we coaxed him again and this time round, he agreed to cut again. so we went back to the shop, all ready for the cut. who knows, the lady said we gonna queue all over again. really wtf. 

pissed, we went to baby spa to cut instead. 

and indeed, mr rayous was ok! 

actually not very ok la, on off he like wanna cry wanna cry like that. but at least he cooperated and completed the whole cut (with his tutu, carrying his bao bao, and watching video!) LOL. 

yay, so we were really happy that he finally overcame his fear and had his hair cut at a salon liao! proud of him!

so, before... hair long and no shape.. 

now, much shorter and neater. hahaa. look at that super siannnn expression. kekekeke. 

good, start the new year w a new hair cut. 

very happy =)

MeRRy XmAs 2017!!

hohoho 

merry xmas!

as compared to rayous when he had his 1st xmas, it's more difficult taking pics of raythorous than rayous!

well, that's but of cuz. rayous was only about 5months old (and evident from the pics, he was still unable to sit up unsupported) when he had his 1st xmas, while raythorous is now a few more days to 8mths liao. 

so, he kept wanting to 'ciao' while taking the pics.. 

and to grab the presents.... for...... chewing!!!! grrrrrrr

yeah, rayous wasnt any easier.. also have to kept asking him to come and take pics and smile. haha

and when the 2 of them get tog...

didi will start 'disturbing' the kor kor 

pull his hat...

and the kor kor fought back..

until both angry w each other

LOLLLL

merry christmas every one! 

peace, love, joy! 

Xmas GaTheRinG

xmas gathering at nich and cheryl's new place 

compared to last yr, we sure have more members this yr! 

yes, new members - emma - jc and weiling's gal. and of cuz, raythorous! they are only 3months apart i think. and yes, rayous and immanuel are much bigger than they were last yr. 

haha. 

life with and without children are really different. in the past when we gather, it's always playing card games.  just 3 couples, sit down, relax, chill, simple.. but now with the children, we r all bz looking after them! want to sit down properly and chat also difficult!

but never mind. wait till they are all big, then life will be easy again (hopefully!)

after that we went jalan at jurong point

merry xmas in advance!

so, we always will blind pick our recipient prior to the xchange, so u know who u r buying for. and if u notice, this yr, we happened to buy for the person who bought for us. so.. it's really literally 'exchange'! so coincidental huh.
