MIL's travelling for the whole week. 

Woohooo... 

Good luck xia 

In the past, if she travels, means we have to take leaves to take care of the children liao. 

But now, since both are in school full day, we don't have to take leaves le. That's some consolation.. 

But still have to request to knock off earlier, so as to reach the school b4 7pm to pick the boys...

So it's work and home, work and home liaoo..

No breather liaoooo..

Till the next wkend b4 mil comes back. 

Oh ho. 

Bad weekend for hubb as he was down w food poisoning (like again?!) 

Not any better for me either, down w a mild cough.. 

Not wanting to keep the boys at (MIL's) home doing nothing except watching tv/mobile and creating a ruckus, I bravely took them both out on my own, without a car nor stroller. 

Woohooo! 

Went westgate to play at the seed playground. 

Yeah, hubb went to sign the kuku package.. So gotta utilise them ASAP, 免得夜长梦多。。。

After that, we went to q for this new bbt - hey tea. One small little entrance with a long q that leads to a big indoor sitting/waiting area. Woot. 

Queued and waited for a good half hour xia!! 

I think I ordered the wrong drink.. This one came to be like an ice shake, somewhat like slurpee kind.. What I like is the milk tea kind without the icy part. Boohoo

After that took bus home and I was brave enough to board the upper deck of the bus and seated right at the far back with these 2 boys, despite only a few stops away. 

Kind of worrying when alighting cuz have to walk down the flight of stairs. 

好彩，无惊无险。

Lol

Glad to have brought the boys out for some activity. Sure beats staying at home doing nothing. 

Yeaaa! 

My XXth BdAy

hey hey! 

it's my bday! 

forget about how many yrs old ok. 

anyway, took the bday half day leave to celeb. 

yeah, so wrong to have to work on bday right, even if it was only for half a day.. but no choice, gotta save on the leaves. boo.

knocked off and went vivo to eat tcc. enjoyed the 50% discount! woot! i personally feel that the price of the drinks at tcc is reasonable, but the price of the food is really way off! so, typically wont eat, unless during bday mths when there is 50% off. LOL

mai tu liao! 2 desserts!!

after that went to do some clothing shopping. not enough clothes at MIL's place xia, so have to shop for some... though with more clothes, i also dont know where to store them in MIL's place. LOL. squeeeeezeeee!

and then after that, went to our new house for site inspection. kekeekkee

woahahhahhahaaahaha

and then back to imm for swensens dinner and to claim the complimentary bday ice-cream! LOLLLLL

and finally back home for cake-cutting

with the 2 little boys...

woahahahahah!

happy birthday to me!!!!

healthy, happy, huat ok! 

Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday.... 

To me!! 

Claiming my half day bday leave later. 

Need a break xia.. 

Huat ahhhhh!!

and then a lantern parade to a nearby playground

before ending off with a riddle guessing session at the playground.

yep. and so far, abt 1 week bunking in with MIL liao. so far so good la. not as bad as i had tot. 

LOL

On leave today! For the hdb completion appointment. 

Well, the appointment was in the morning.. Theorotically can just take AM leave and go back to work in the afternn and save half a day of leave.. 

But then again.. Go back to work in the afternn..... Super siannnn right....

Good luck xia. 

Haha, a new charm for our 5th wedding anniversary plus my bday. 

Woohooo! 

搬家咯!!! 

Happy Teachers' Day!!

Whoot! 

went to NPC1, wanting to change my address on the nric. crowded. din want to wait. 

then, after dinner, we went to NPC2. and again, crowded. and waited for a good half hr, b4 i finally managed to get my nric updated. 

kaoz. 

almost like waiting for a doctor consultation at the GP xia. 

when did neigbourhood police centre become so busy huh?????

ha, last updated my address some 5yrs back. 

really, how time flies.....

Woohooo

1st day of my bday mth!

Aug had been a madness month at work. The volumn was sooo sooo heavy that it was probably one of the worst month all my time there. 

Hopefully September will be better OK!

Good luck!! 

Haha, really got to claim the peking duck for free! Not gimmick OK! Lol

Yeh, it was a return coupon to claim a free peking duck. Usually with this kind of stuff, we will jio jio many pple to go eat, and in the end, spend more than ever. 

Isn't this exactly what the restaurant want us to do??

Give us some 甜头to lure us to spend more.

So, in order not to fall into the trap, I decided that just the 2 of us should go and eat. 

And, if we had really been just a little more thick skin, we could have just order the duck and nothing else. Jiak and go! 

But we din la. In the end still ordered for the meat to be fry w noodles, and 2 tea. With the wet tissues and nuts, all in still summed up to be $28.

Lol.

Not bad le la. For just $28, get to eat one whole peking duck. Lolllll

Consider it to be an early 庆功宴。

Also to celebrate the last day of lunar 7th mth. 

Woooot! 

Just when we tot we r almost done with the packing................. 

.......the aircon leaked and wet a number of our packed boxes which we left and stacked nicely in our room........... 

Grrrrrrrr!!!! 

Gotta unpack and take everything out! 

And probably need to buy new boxes and repack again. 

Super Omg!!

Seems like the house knows that we r moving... 

The oven broke down, and now the aircon leaked like nobody's business. 

That's why, never leave anything below the aircon yeah. 

Especially electronics.

Lesson learnt.

OK 2 more weeks only k. 

Don't spoil anything else anymore kkk.....

Grrrrrr.

LasT ViSiT

NaTioNaL DaY @ AgEaN PaRaDisE

 for the past years ndp, we had been staycationing.

this year, something different.... we went on the agean paradise cruise.. hohohoho..

our 2nd time onboard. the 1st time was during hubb's bday last year. hubb totally enjoyed the cruise la. but for me, really so so only. but since his parents hadnt tried b4, we decided to bring them to try it out. it's definitely suitable for the old folks la, in our opinion.

tada, ferry from tanah merah. then change another ferry. b4 finally changing to the cruise ship. yeah, quite troublesome indeed. 

our 1st meal onboard. besides parents-in-law, hubb's 2nd brother, his wife, MIL and cousin-in-law also came along 

unlike our 1st experience, it is so much more crowded this time. probably due to the long holiday ba. the restaurant was super crowded during meal times la.

1st night dinner, cuz we had late dinner, so not so crowded liao. 

there are also salon service, massage service, mani/pedi services onboard. too bad, gotta look after the children, else, i'll be glad to try out some of the services... 

and there is this little arcade with only 2 games machines and 3 夹夹乐 machines. quite pathetic, but good enough to keep the kids occupied for a little while every now and then. just that we need to pay and pay to keep the games going on and on la. 

yeah, then 2nd day morning. we stayed for 3D2N..

really nothing much to do for the kids. there is 1 small pool, but the water is quite deep, not suitable for young kids. so, we resorted to bringing our own toys onboard! ohohohoohoho

and bubble guns to play! bought the bubble guns during the genting trip. since then never really play liao. so this time is a good chance for them to play again. but have to monitor closely and make sure they dont step outside to the balcony. dangerous. 

and then at night, we chilled out at the ktv lounge. LOL. 

ok, 3rd day... 

makan again!!

and boarding the ferry back to sg liao.

yeah, actually not bad la. really just eat and sleep, eat and sleep lor. also good la, catch up on some rest this holiday. also to spend some time with the 2 kiddos.

yup, happy holiday!

till the next holiday!!
