Christmas lightings

It's Renee's second Christmas in calendar days but officially her first to be spent with family!

This year, I wanted Renee to see the fabulous Christmas lightings along Orchard road, so Dear, Renee and I headed to Orchard last night, after the heavy downpour.

Luckily there was no flash flood at Orchard. In fact, the wet street along Orchard truly have us the Christmas feel... Haa!

Just 3!

"I'm 18 years old..." I had said that for so many years that I lost track of my actual age... With a button nose getting longer and longer each year... And addition of wrinkle on my face...

Time has rushed by so quickly... Waiting for no one, giving no second chance... Memory of primary school and secondary school just seemed like yesterday...

In a blink, I had turned 30! They called it the big 3... Which I didn't understand why. I only knew it's the time for change of IC.

Dear had asked me since few months ago, what my wish list was... I didn't have any... Wanting Nothing could sound worse than wanting something... At least he had the SLA or KPI to keep up with... Wanting nothing was like a blank cheque... It could mean anything, everything!

So we ended up with a family staycation at MBS where we counted down (in our sleep) and woke up 1 year older! This was our second visit to MBS... But the first time we stayed over!

It was such a fantastic city view from 44th storey... It's a shame that there wasn't any legendary FOC upgrade to suite for Bday stay... Nevertheless, we (or should i say Renee) had wonderful time at infinitely pool... Our window bay, Bath tub... And the super Seally bed... As well as her BB cot ^,^

A-Cha!!!

Renee had a few trims in the past 11 months... Once by daddy & mummy during Full Month, then by grandpa Peter on the sides... And last once by mummy on one side which gave an extremely sad case nerdy look...

After so long, Renee's hair had hardly grown much... Today, mummy got permission from daddy and brought Renee for a proper trim, at the saloon!

Renee had been co-operative with auntie Alicia throughout the quick snips! Good job! Bye bye to knots at the back!

Here's some shots... Renee's first haircut ^,^

Renee, 我们去 PoNg-PoNg！

我们去 PoNg-PoNg, PoNg-PoNg 去 PoNg-PoNg!!

Lovely morning can't be wasted... Wonderful play time with Renee in the pool... Splashes of fun!!!

PS-ed

Dear asked "where would you like to go on this weekend?"

Well, he wasn't expecting any answer from me when he asked this question, since I dislike decision making...

So, he was truly surprised when I enthusiastically responded "Plaza Singapura! ...Because I saw its Uniqlo opening.. And there'll be sale!"

We PS-Ed after Dear's weekend OT... The new extension of PS is now opened!! That's probably why the carpark was full... And everywhere is people people people!!

Excitedly, we made our way to Uniqlo but a long queue was formed in order to get into the shop... Reminded me of LV shop when we were in Paris in 2010.

So we skipped Uniqlo! Muahahaha! No way to queue with R.. Next, we moved to the old PS portion...

Daiso... dear bought a stationery holder and a car seat hook for Sunny.

Spotlight... I finally bought a seeing kit... so i'll be able to mend some fallen buttons or small torn on our clothes next time... Side note: when I was queueing at the cashier, a baby girl in her mom's arms touched me on my shoulder. I turned around and smiled when the angmo mom apologized. The baby smiled at me and "da-da-da..." It's like little R. I couldn't help to ask "How old is she?" "11 months... And how about yours?" "10 months going 11" I told her and she remarked "Oh! 10 months? She's a big girl!" Hmmm... Okay... ;p

Nandos, where we took our dinner and R had hers, followed by her power nap. Dear and I ordered platter for 2 which comes with free flow of Soft drinks, we had delicious grilled whole chicken with sides and bottomless coke!!! Yummy dinner!!! Thanks, Dear, for the treat!

Next, we got to G2K to look for belt... just belt, without buckle. Too bad it was sold as a set at G2K... So we didn't get any.

Just next to G2K, it was Everbest having clearance sale... I piled up a pair of beige heels... it was really nice and comfy... just that it was too high... 3.5 inches! How was I supposed to loiter around in that height? it was $19!!! arghhh... The pair of heels I wore totally gave way. I had to get something from Everbest or I had to move around barefooted! After some struggle, I picked a black rounded court shoes with 2.5" heels. Still high but at least it's an office footwear. (I missed Dear's hint when he shook his head) damn...

I "fished" my way to Cathay carpark to pick Auntie up...

Very fulfilling shopping weekend... Bought lotsa things which we needed... And I'm missing the beige heels now... T__T

BTW, I didn't let Dear get his peanut butter waffle... Coz I'm gonna bake Portuguese Egg tart tonight!!! WuhOO!

Knocks on the door

I was in the living room when I heard knocks on the door...

As I peeped through the door hole, I saw many 'police officers' standing outside...

Simi Daiji? I thought...

I answered the door... And realized they were student uniform group... The NPCC from our neighboring secondary school...

They startled and stumbled on their words... Perhaps because I was the first unit who answered the door...

They shared about road safety... Bicycle safety..

When I said I have no bicycle at home, the little boy went on and on about bicycle safety.. So I lent a listening ear..

When it comes to driving, they didn't expect an auntie like me would drive... And the little boy emphasized seriously that "it's an offense to drive on the road w/o seat belt buckled"

"I know, thanks for the reminder! ;)"

Haa... When they were done, they handed over a 'stack' of brochure to me.

before they left, I asked if they need any drinks... And they all smiled and declined politely.

Reminded me of those days in my secondary school life... My naive days...

Wish them luck and hope they have fun! It's great to see teenagers engaging in community services with passion and hope the love and care will spread widely ^,^

Seriously, I was still taken aback by the sight of 'police officers' blocking at my door... WuhOO!
