Da-Da!

Da-Da is everything she loves... Like her lovey blanket/jacket/le sucre bunnies...

Da-Da is anything she needs to get back to zzz... Including my pillow...

It's been a week since Renee's routine had been shifting to the right.. From 9 to 10, 10 to 11... And nowadays to 12 midnight before she could fall asleep...

Good or bad, she'd sleep for almost 10 - 11 hours... So waking up ard 10am most of the time... (Of coz there's diaper change and milk time in between) ;p

Friday night was no exception. She's been up for a while, so I told her twice or thrice... "Renee, sleep early. Wake up early tmr and we'll go for bkf together"

I could see a little sparks in her eyes... Perhaps her definition of bkf and ours differ... She's most probably thinking about fast food, while we were referring to kopitiam... Wahahaha!

So... This little girl woke up at 5:30am, tapped on my arm and my pillow, shouting "Da-Da!" After diaper change and milk feeding, she puked a little at 6am... But got warmed up and started roaming ard the house, playing with her smart kitchen... 

Now, 10mins to 7am... Here we are lying in the living room... Watching her Koaraoke rhymes... ~,~ 

(NB: we refer to Renee and I... BH's still snoozing in his colorful dreamland...)

When everything is over...

I want to have plenty of D.O.M, beer, choya and wine! Everything!!! arghhHHhhh~*   (-_-")

My second homemade soy milk

I tried to make my very first soy milk in my own kitchen on Thursday. It had light fragrance from soy bean and pandan leaves. Not those thick and super rich taste of soy that we could get from stalls outside...

Probably it's because of a slow juicer that I had used, instead of a blender? Most of the folks who shared their recipes online used a blender to breakdown everything, then strained the mixture with a cheese cloth (or Kopi stocking... Haa!) 

Today, I tried to make soy milk again with diff portion and method, hoping to achieve a richer taste of soy... And main reason was really to finish up the pandan leaves and the remaining packet of soy beans.

I used a slow juicer, too, but with a coarse strainer this time to retain more pulp in the juice. Then, instead of straining before boiling, I brought the entire mixture to boil before training with a cheesecloth and toufu making tool which came with my juicer.

Results were good! It's texture, thickness, richness seemed to be closer to what we get from stalls outside! I'm overjoyed!

Before I forgot abt the portion/recipe, I soaked 2 cups of dried soy beans into 5 cups (for abt 13 hrs in fridge) and juiced it with abt 12 cups of water with coarse strainer. Brought the mixture to boil with 7-8pieces of pandan leaves and added a rock sugar after it's boiled. Strained the cooked mixture with a cheese cloth and tofu making tool... Then let it cool and chilled in fridge.

Spending our Sat at home with fun...

How to keep baby at home without being bored?

Specially if I am referring to a baby who loves to get key, points at her shoes and goes to the door whenever she feels its time to go out?

Toys! More toys... New toys! ^^

When the number of toys grow, the amount of time spent on each toy lessen.. Such that all the toys could be rotated and be played with.

Today, she spent the most amount of time on this new set from her doting dad! (Thanks to my friend who tipped us off abt the sale at Changi point) we got this smart home kitchen set at $40... Not cheap but at least we can get one for Renee to share with her sis!

This 'smart toys' kept her occupied the entire noon... 

Several times when daddy and mommy tried to put her to bed... We failed to make her snooze...

Due to the haze, daddy and mommy ate lunch at home. Cooked by me!!! Free style okonomiyaki... Prawn, cheese, lotsa cabbage, egg... WuhOO! 

You could tell how large my pancake was by looking at the medium-big tomato. Super filling late lunch before Dear's best friend's wedding at the same place we Wed 2.5yrs ago. We were thrilled as this would be the first time we were invited to wedding dinner at Merchant Court Swissotel... We finally got to eat!

The dish was fresh, good and serving was just nice for me! The table was too big that I could hardly reach the food with a big tummy now... Funny thing was that I could navigate freely 2.5yrs ago even with a huge pong-pong gown... Tonight, I could barely make my way in the ballroom with a tummy... This friend has plenty of friends!! Haa ^^

Looking at all the hot and young ladies so well groomed at the dinner, I was motivated to take care of myself and get ready as a hot mama of 2 by Mar 2014... Hohoho!!!

Her Progress..., My Love

Singing or Dancing

At 1.5 years old (about 18 months old), Renee could sing a couple of songs. Not the entire song though... just the chorus... so whenever she made those melody... we would know which song she was singing...

• First was Psy's Gangnam Style (Sorry that I spelled this wrongly all the other times)... "Ohhhhhh" (and shook her head. Now she could hold her arm like the horse riding!)

• Next, it was Row-Row-Row your boat.... "Ro-Ro-Ro..." (She could only repeat this portion, then started shaking the bolster in our bed)

• Followed by Old Macdonald had a Farm.... "E-ya-E-ya-O... quack quack quack...." (She could sing this pretty well and clear! Even before the song was played in the CD, she knew that it was coming up next and started humming)

• Another rhyme she could hum was the Fly Fly Fly the Butterfly... "5-5-5.." (Very similar to Row Row Row your boat when she just had to repeat a similar sound... Haa!)

• There were some rhymes that she knew them long ago. She couldn't sing along yet but would dance along... If you are Happy and you know... She could clap her hand, stamp her feet, nod her head and pull her ears! Haa!!

I had no idea what other songs that she's secretly trying to learn but I saw her watching Psy's new MV (gentlemen) recently... hmmz... Let's see...

Naming Body Parts or Communicating

Renee could identify the following areas:

• Head
• Teeth
• Ears
• Eyes
• Nose
• Tummy
• Bums
• Hands

She could relate to the following:

• Cold-cold
• Hot-Hot
• Bathing (via Pong-Pong or Swimming)
• Drink Water
• Wet-Wet
• Pacifier (or Joot-joot, both works but when she said, she used "ne-ne")
• Open (She could say "Gai", which sounded like open in mandarin - Kai)
• Close/ Keep
• Going out = wear socks and shoes, get keys to open the door
• When mommy is not in pyjamas = Going out
• Mixer = Beat beat beat eggs ("da-da-da-da-da")
• Her pink kitty bag = her snackbox
• Pan is for frying (when she toss the toy food in the toy pan)
• Ng-Ng = poop poop
• Sayang = Gentle touch
• Bye-bye
• Hi-5 (she loved to do this than doing her fav Goodbye shake)

She could say...

• Open ("Gai" as "Kai")
• Neh-Neh (when she wanted milk)
• Uhmm (when she wanted a munch)
• Wet-Wet ("Shi-Shi")
• No More (in mandrain "Mei you")
• Banana ("Na-na-na")
• McDonalds M logo ("Mac Mac Mac")
• Shoes ("Xie zi" in mandarin)
• Paternity Grandma ("Ye ye")
• Paternity Grandma ("Nai Nai")
• Maternity Grandpa ("Ah Gu" instead of Ah Gong)
• Maternity Grandma ("Ma Ma" or "Ah Ma" but she seldom say it)
• Carry ("Bao Bao")
• Dad ("Pa Pa")
• Me!!! ("Ma Ma... but she seldom call me either)
• Baby (She had a toy baby and I ever heard her shouting for "B-B" when she couldn't reach it in her toy box)
• Bye-bye (one of the first few words she learnt)
• 1-2-3-4-5 (not exactly clear but it sounded almost there... counting up to 5 in mandarin)

Next on the learning List

• Potty Train, so perhaps we could start to cut down on diapers usage?
• Drink from a cup on her own
• Feed herself, properly
• Say simple sentence (I read from web that this is one of the milestones when toddler is 2 yrs old)
• Ask for things nicely via pointing, instead of whining or snatching...

Many many more...  but we'll do it slowly... one at a time... Stay Happy, always, my kid!

Haze Vs Kitty, Kitty Won!

Haze was very bad, worse ever? Last night when it hit 321 (or 393) after (probably) NEA got approval to publish since the reading MIA for quite a while when it was 10pm... (Pic from a friend who posted on FB)

It's even worse when the clock stroke at 12 midnight to mark a new Thursday, the release of McKitty Ugly Duckie...

Very ugly situation when some people was requesting for No-Work alert when haze went above 300... While some folks could actually queue in the haze for the kitty... So the equation is obvious... If u could queue for kitty, you could work! (Pic from an ex-colleague who also queued since midnight)

Speaking of the kitty. I wasn't really a fan of Hello kitty since young, at least I didn't bother to get any when McDonalds first released the kitty series many years ago... (No offense but I thought there was no strong theme and quite meaningless)

This time, the first fairy tale icon was the Oz Wizard, a lion that looked like Kon-Kon in a Jap anime, Bleach. I didn't remember how long it took for that to be sold out... I got one anyway during the lunch that Thursday, since I love Kon-Kon.

We managed to get the second release - Red Ridding Hood on the night of the day it was released, with Renee happily munching on some fries and corns with us. (That's when I thought the whole purpose would be, to have your kid eat with u and u got the kitty at the same time...) Next, I heard that it was sold out 3 days later, on Sat noon-evening... The challenge had kicked off...

Third release was Frog Prince, a cute green icon... My parents helped to get it in the morning when they bought bkf for me on a usual Thursday... That release was sold out on the same Thursday by night time... The tension had emerged, so had the bar been raised!

Today, the forth release - Ugly Duckie (also the last one That I wish to get for Renee)... SB kiasu S'porean started to queue since midnight when PSI was rocket high above 300!

The battle had began - Forget the Haze, fight for the Kitty!

Guess what now? Kitty was sold out at most of the outlets... Some even mentioned that it's sold out since 8:30am... Seriously?

Lucky enough, my parents did their best they could and managed to get not just 1 but 2 kitties! Haa! One for Renee, one to celebrate their victory in the war of kitty...

Here's our toys for Renee which she kissed them all, one by one, every morning... Well, she didn't kiss her dad, mom or grandparents but her toys... She wasn't aware how tough it was to get them but she didn't asked for any after all... Just hope that these fairy tale kitties could be her and her sis playmate for a while ^^

Miao Miao Miao Miao~! McDonalds... NO MORE KITTY, PLEASE!!!

Happy 1.5 yrs old

It's baby Renee's 1.5 years old or 18 months milestone...

What's coming next would be health check, motor skill progress check and of course the vaccination...

I want to wish Renee a happy 18 month, healthy1.5 year and more adorable years to come! Cheers!

With love from Daddy and Mommy ^^

(And I wonder if Renee will like this Banana Song as much as Psy's 2 music videos)

Stack the Chicken Like a Mountain

Translate, please?

堆积如山。。。

This was how Lulu described my overdue chores whenever he completed his and still saw the ever-growing stack of chicken mountain of un-ironed clothes...

I was lucky and glad that Lulu had a whole wardrobe of working shirts which could supply him for 3 weeks without repeating... And I didn't have to iron my working attire as it would be mainly home clothes aka pyjamas...

With these special privileges, I tended to push the chicken mountain day after day...

This day was too hot...

That day I was having abdomen stretching, must rest...

One day BB P wasn't really moving, I had to bed rest...

Yesterday was too hazy... I need a break...

Plenty of excuses to be recycled within the 2-3 weeks ^^

Today, as promised, I finally finished them off! With curse and swear, plenty of water and perspiration... They were finally done and over with (for this round)...

Now u can see me, which me refers to my iron... Haa! 

Speaking of this movie, a few folks who watched it recommended it... So probably dear and I should go on a date this weekend without the screaming little terror... ;p

After 2-3 hours of standing and vigorous exercising of my right arm... I was officially having a bad stretching and backache... On top of that, I had inally managed to complete the archiving of my short-circuit mailbox which flood itself by replicating old mails back to my server mailbox when the network was gaga.... Back to work!!!

Happy Father's Day, again!?

It's the second Father's Day of BH!! Second in this year since he sort of had his mini celebration last week... This week was more like a normal week to him actually... Because the wife wasn't doing anything special...

Morning was Sunday homemade waffles that took forever to be served.. Followed by everyday is Renee's day... Terror play time... By the time it was lunch, we were all stuck at home as little terror was asleep... The wife left a stack of clothes yet to be ironed... And so many BB clothes unsorted, unwashed... No juice no baking no cooking for today...

Hmmm... I must think of something and not let Sunday just pass like this! ;p

Youtube - PSY-ed!!

Renee is starting to communicate with us but not in our mother tongue language... So you need to understand her gesture, preferences and what she does usually in order to interpret her messages.

Last night, my girl caught me using my phone in the bedroom... Oops! So, she did what she's best at --- Snatch, if failed, whin or scream until she got it... In such battle, specially when it's late at night, Renee usually won...

Then, she accessed almost all the usual apps that she touched... But last night, she stopped at YouTube... She opened up YouTube, brought me the phone and sang to me "Ohhhh..." And started to dance by shaking her head... Did u know what she was doing?

Actually, mommy knew!! Renee was singing Psy's Gandum style... "Ohhh... Sexy lady" with the dance move of shaking head after horse riding. So I quickly acknowledged her request and search for the Music video for her. She happily watched the clip, sang along the Ohhhh and shook her head (her way of dancing Gandum style)... Haa!!!

Besides this easy msg, there's a lot more which I had yet to decipher... A long way but just a transition... Good learning for me. The importance of listening!!

My phone and my girl

Renee often access a lot of apps on my phone as and when she snatched it... Before she would willingly surrender it back...

H&M app was one of the most accessed apps among her long list... Not sure why, perhaps it's due to the colorful catchy icon...

Tonight, this little girl who is barely below 1.5yrs actually know how to do online shopping... See what she's got!!! LOL ^,^

Pram on wheelchair friendly bus

I wasn't aware that pram must be collapsed in order to board a wheelchair friendly bus, until a mommy posted an article and even more mommies shared on their unpleasant experiences on that... (I hadn't read any positive comment about it!)

So far, I had removed my comment "For Safety" from the picture of article and un-followed the post as there were far too many bitching without constructive recommendations. Singaporeans just love to complaint... KB would be a more aggressive word but I felt that KB best described the emotion of these mommies now...

And here's my thought on this...

My impression of wheelchair and its user
I am not an expert on wheelchair design but I know it was ridden mainly by bigger kids or adults with difficulties walking. So in some sense, they would be able to control (break/ turn) the chair or even sustain from people or light objects falling onto them, in case of emergency. If not, I am not sure how the wheelchair friendly bus works...

My impression of pram and its user
Pram, in contrast, would be meant for kids below 3 (or 15 kg), with no control over the pram. So if the parents/ caregiver is a KuKu... the child will be totally on his own when anything happen during the ride. And they certainly can't sustain too much when any standing adults/ objects fall onto them...

My impression of bus ride
A few mommies KB-ed that how safe could it be when they have to take care of so many things with 2 hands and no helpers. Surely they would be in such agony when they choose to take a bus ride with so many things to take care of alone, instead of a taxi... So, they made the choice when they were not aware about "No open pram rule" on bus... One of the mommies challenged, "what if I drop my baby? what if the pram hit on other kids? Who will be responsible? PxP?" I have only 1 answer for her... she has to be responsible for it... Everyone, be it you like it or not, the driver would have warned you to collapse the pram before you board... and so, you did (with a very black face and perhaps some arguements) and board the bus... so You have to be responsible for it. Also, I believed those assumptions were based on IF no one gave up the seat for them... Frankly speaking, I would strongly believe that someone would offer the seat to commutator with such strong needs... Even if no one does, the bus driver would have asked for anyone to give up their seats for them.

Bottomline
In a nutshell, caregiver should not over estimate his/her own capability. If you have only 2 hands, do not take care of more than 2 things at a time... More importantly, never compromise safety for convenience and budget, specially when its for safety of someone so special and important to you...

Good Luck, folks! A good discussion is when solutions and recommendations are being talked about. Discussing problems alone, will not bring you anywhere close to your destination...

Anyway, policies are all man-made... as long as someone challenged it, justify it, the expert will validate it.... and new policies will come into place for a better community. There are just too many questions and incomplete policies if you really deep dive... One good example which I had been pondering upon would be... the "new" rule of no smoking in the sheltered area or 500m from sheltered area... then what makes it "right" for coffee shop to allocate smoking zone within the shelter? Can they shit and eat at the same time? Most likely they can but its equally disgusting... That's community... we have to give and take... this planet belongs to nobody... we are all sharing it (not owning it)... so share it kindly and graciously!

Press for 5 mins

This is no joke...

When the nurse advised to press the needle pricked area for 5mins... We better follow and just do it!!

Haven't seen so much blood oozed out from my arm... Freaking lotsa blood!!!

Deng deng deng deng...

Translate...

Wait wait wait wait...

It's week 32 detailed scan. I could sense BB P's excitement to let mommy meet her via ultra sound... She's been moving a lot lately...

Looking forward to Dr Su's remark today... I had been taking 2 eggs daily for the past 3 weeks... I felt so overdosed of protein and fats but as long as BB P is growing well... I can eat a cow! (Just kidding...)

BB P, please co-operate and be good girl during today's scan ok? If mommy says turn, u turn... Move, u move... If mommy says smile, u smile ok? Wahahaha... Hope we can have some good pics today...

Remark from scan: water level and blood valves are all okay, only that BB tummy is small (BB is slim)... So I was requested to return for another scan in 3 weeks time! Arghhh.... My resolution for these few weeks is to EAT EAT EAT!!!

Another 2 months to ya arrival... Exciting 8 weeks! (Oh, and that reminded mommy to return to office one of the Friday for a photo with auntie CL)

Dr Su's verdict is out. Renee was 1.9+kg during week 32. P is currently 1.6+kg... So I need to intake more protein rich food like eggs, meat, fish... Return for follow up scan to check on BB's growth... And believe it or not, I MUST eat more BUFFET!!! Wahahaha!!! Daddy, did u read this? *hint hint*

最不给面子的模特儿！

我左思右想，终于如愿以偿地烘烤了南洋风味的 Pandan Cake。我的第三次尝试。这回用的是21cm 的模型。效果还不错！

由于还没拿捏好烤箱的心情，或许还是可以再烘久一点吧！

看一看，这个最不给面子的小朋友如何回应我的心血吧！套用她的那句。。。咳哟！

It was one man's Father's Day

On the eve of this uniquely HIS day, Renee had been sticky to her dad! For the very first time, with this level of stickiness!

No one else could carry her, just her dad! I was so happy to see such a strong bonding between the 2 of them... Daddy was overjoyed, even if that meant that he had to carry her most of the time... Backache would be nothing compared to this sweet thing between a dad and his girl!

Sunday, our family day... Daddy insisted that it's Father's Day... Till he closed the browser almost immediately after googling for the actual date... I knew he's eager to celebrate. So we brought it forward to avoid the crowd... Haa!

We headed to a big shopping mall where it's been a long whole since Renee or I last went... The Vivo City! We went early and was v lucky to get a parking lot near to the entrance of the mall. It's sooo our day! Yippee!

Renee had a bit of fun here and there... Touching toys... Let new friend touched... And also touching things that she should not have touched...

My sis 'cried' for help on FB for someone to stop her from the spending... But deep inside, I knew she's screaming with excitement for the good deal... $449 with further 10% less from Tangs... Her first Kenwood mixer with all the attachments!!

BH had provided such good service to pay upfront, cash and carry with FOC on the same day delivery to my sis. Haa! (He must be in a v good mood)

Dear brought me to the St Marc cafe for their infamous choc crossiant. It was crispy on the outside, bitterly sweet choc on the inside... Absolute heaven! 

As it was rather oily, we didn't intend to feed Renee with it but let her have her usual wheat biscuits... However, nothing could stop this curious little explorer... She picked up the crumbs on the plate and started to feed herself... And even nodded her head to show that she liked it! Hahahahaha... Why wouldn't her, since she's a fan of chocolates!!

We went to Giant for some grocery shopping... As I wanted to get eggs and sugar for cake baking/ bread making dying my white spaces... Ended up? We bought a lot more things (almost $60 on my bill) but I totally forgot to get any eggs or sugar... What a weird wife!

Nevertheless, a fruitful family weekend for us ^,^

P and I are still awake

The person who told me he couldn't sleep due to overdose of coffee... Is already snoring soundly... So why am I still up at this time?

I was thinking about Renee... She's been stick pudding, again. To grandparents to daddy... Not really to me. She seemed to be lacking sense of security... We need to find ways to help her on that...

And I attended a uni friend's wedding tonight. It was at the Grand Shanghai restaurant... It has fabulous ambience... And this friend certainly raised the bar of wedding experience... He and his wife actually got married in Italy! Their marriage cert was in Italian language... Hope that's recognized in Singapore? Wahahaha... Just kidding! It wasn't easy... It's not just the 2 of them who went but parents from both sides, the photographer and some close friends as witnesses... So a total strength of 12!!! I can totally imagine their bill... Food was individually served and there's live band plus photo both. Very Interesting... ^,^

I didn't understand why i had to hold that brolly... but i was very happy for this newly Wed couple!! And a good catch up with my uni friends though it wasn't full strength. I wanted to thank my parents for taking care of Renee and my husband for taking are of me!!!

Wonderful Saturday... Oh, is tmr Father's Day? A father of 1.5 keep telling me its his day... Where should I bring him to? Hahaha!!! Renee, help mommy think...

是不是？有没有？要不要？

睿锦那么累了还不愿意睡午觉。

躺一躺，翻一翻，然后又跑来跑去。

我看她可能是饿了睡不着；便让她吃了一些苹果。结果也没吃完。

后来睿锦就站着不动。。。我的经验告诉我，她有百分之九十九是在酝酿。。。

我弯下身子轻声地问道：＂睿锦，你在叉叉吗？是不是要叉叉？＂

她望着我，好像犹豫了一会儿，然后便向我摇了摇头。一头否认。

我想：随便吧！等她叉叉完了我再来收拾也一样，顺她吧！

果然哪有多久，蹲在一旁的她开始呼叫了。哈哈！

终于，搞定后她就呼呼大睡了。外头的雷声尽管再震天响也动摇不了累坏了的小睿！

New ??? Found

It was getting late after my last conference but we still hope to grab a red riding hood kitty for Renee... 

She appeared to be sleepy during the ride 'home' until she she saw daddy making a turn into SK SRC and the big M sign brightly lit against the dark night. She literally sat up, pointed at the M sign and exclaimed 'Mad-Nor-Ner'!!!

When daddy was doing reverse parking, Renee started her short but loud scream... What was that? I would show it to you one day if you asked me about it... Haa! 

"What happened?" Daddy panicked and thought Renee didn't want to alight...

"She was overly excited" I quickly assured him... Then, I started to replicate Renee's exclamation along with her... So, mother and daughter were screaming at the back seat of the ca with hands shaking in the air... "Arhhhhhh!!!!"

So what was it about the new 'something' found?

The kitty - Renee gave her new kitty a kiss on the box when daddy presented it to her.

The chicken nugget - it's been a while since I last ordered McNuggets... But I was certainly craving for some tonight... I tore some crispy crust with chicken to feed Renee and she ate them! First time she's having meat!! (BTW, we only let her have 2 strips of fries tonight... She had lightly buttered corn instead!)

The little boy from the next table - Before the folks sitting at the next table left, the little boy came to Renee and shyly stood there, playing with his own jacket... (Actually he's been wanting to come over since a while back but was stopped by his parent) Renee extended her left arm to touch his jacket but was pushed away by the boy... Renee watched cluelessly (and so did everyone else), until the parents held the boy's hand to lead him away, he shook his hand to bid farewell to Renee... Guess the little flower is starting to attract butterfly (new friends)! WuhOo ~*

It was an interesting evening! From telling everyone that I had no appetite and felt like puking to gobbling like a hungry ghost... I felt so much better now, with 2 happy babies!! ^,^ Good night!!!

(P/s: BB P had been v active today... My tummy was most of the time out of shape...)

Cut and Cry

This was not Renee's first haircut but certainly the first time that she fought so hard to get out of our arms during the trimming session...

She cried and screamed... Kicked and pushed... Magic props like sweets, biscuit and chocolate milk could no longer work on her...

Tears dropped fell like heavy downpour... But I had to hold her back for the hair dresser to do the job... I was heartbroken when she looked at me... i could see the helplessness in her eyes, "r u my mommy? Why r u doing this to me?" She didn't want me to carry her after the cut... I was feeling so guilty and really bad abt it...

I was sorry Renee... But you definitely look neat and tidy now ^,^

(I have to plan how to deal with it in another 30 days time when hair fringe starts covering her eyes)

Renee sayang* Meimei

As you know that Renee would roam around the house to find me... Haaa... It's good that she's getting less sticky pudding now but she would still come to me every now and then for a pat, hug or just to grab my things...

Today, this noon, when I was not feeling exactly well (due to the stretching of womb) plus a kicking BB P... Renee came into my home office, pat on my legs and for the first time, initiated a sayang on my tummy without me asking for one... very very sweet moment!

Thank you, Renee! You are getting ready to be a good sister, huh? BB P loves it, too~*

My New Kitchen Gadget...

The Slow Juicer!

The freebie that came with the current promo was also worth mentioning here...

 BH told me that he had a strong feeling that we'll be getting a slow juicer in the next 6 months time...

That was when he witnessed me following crazily over the P. air fryer till I (we, actually) thought that I gave up on it, and till I eventually bought one after a long long while... See --> Promotion + Impulse = $$$ (fly)

I (we, again) thought that I had also given up on the slow juicer because of its sky pricing (beyond SGD500) just for juicing? No way.... Not from Wago's purse... Not in Wago's kitchen!

Nevertheless, sometimes, we just need to take our eyes off something in order to see alternatives... Hee! Wahhaha... which BH probably wished that I could stay focused on what I couldn't/ wouldn't get, accept the fact and forget about it just like how easily I could forgot about things...

However, I probably stayed too focus... and I had so many wonderful friends from all walks of life... that somehow, connected me to my new gadget, at a budget price (not really cheap but much more reasonable as compared to those sky priced juicer in the market)... So I got it!!! Why wait? WuhOO ^,^

It was a tough research and some sort of a gamble as I could not gather much information about this brand/ model... However, since it's been in the juicing industry for many many years and its a local brand... PLUS that my friend is working in the company (though not selling juicer), I gave it a try... Bravo! And before I got content/ or otherwise very unhappy with it, I set up a layman's review blog to share on my experiences on the entire process, as well as, to include demo of juicing videos on youtube so that more pple who went through the same thing as me could benefit from sharing... Couldn't believe that I actually did it! Haa...

And now I am a few hundred dollars poorer, with more fruits and vege in my fridge or chopping board... and having fresh juice anytime!
