It's Teacher's Day dinner yesterday.....am happy to be able to attend Teacher's Day dinner unlike 2 years but am sad that I can't tuck Elijah to bed today. It's one of the rare days mummy can't give you a big hug. I haven't been able to see you...kiss you..hug you for more than 24 hours.
I so wanna see you in the afternoon...but I can't simply bring you home....I won't be able to change and get ready and daddy can't be home in time before I leave. I don't want you to fuss at grandma's place when I leave so I gotta be hard-hearted to not see you at all.
I had a fantastic lunch with Renee and Mengyin...it's been quite a while since we've sat down to chat non-stop. It was really nice. Since I can't see you...mummy decided to give myself a day out. I went for manicure...at long last...hmmm...when was the last time I did that...I can't really remember that perhaps 3 years ago. Hahhahaa I so wanna do it...so I sneak a session of that in between the shopping and the dinner at Hilton Hotel.
Dinner was nice coz of the company....but we were really famished..by 8.30pm...the party hasn't started. The party next door was way past the warming-up phase....it was happening when all the speeches over ourside were still on-going.
I had the chance to meet the babies again...Weixin...weien and Tingwan's girl. All were so sweet. Made me think of Elijah lots. But ME time did not stop there....it followed on with KTV session till 3am. I was exhausted...think age has caught up with me. Singing non-stop was fun but think I was zombified after that.
The consolation of missing you for more than 24hours was knowing that I'll be able to Teachers' Day with you. I'm so happy for that. Tis good to be a teacher....I LOVE TEACHING AND I LOVE ELIJAH AND CHEEWAN!!!! :)

Daddy's day trip to KL equals Elijah's airport trip
Today, Cheewan went to KL for a day trip....flew there early in the morning and he flew back by 6+pm. It was my excuse to go to the airport. I love airports!!!! And what's more...there's popeye there. Hahahah...shopping and popeye sounds heavenly to me. So I decided to drive Elijah alone to the airport to fetch Cheewan.
We reached airport really early like 4+pm. I was hoping for Elijah to take a nap coz he refused his afternoon nap but he simply wasn't tired. And he was such a darling throughout the car ride..enjoying his music CD..no fussing at all...simply sucking his thumb away.
Mummy had a great time with him...he sat quietly on his pram throughout almost close to 2 hours. Mummy brought him to times bookshop..to see Merly..to shop..although he refused to allow mummy to shop except to show him cutie stuff he was interested in or Toy story stuff. He loves the playground....he was laughing lots when I was pushing him round and round the indoor playground. The little pleasures in life.
Oh well....he was really a very good boy all the while...even in the skytrain..he was such a darling. Mummy and daddy met in Terminal 2 hoping to see Samsonite...coz we wanted to get for Elliot a luggage bag but no luck..there wasn't any sammies in Singapore..oh well...we had to make do with something else I guess.
Dinner was of course at popeye...it was yummy. I think right now it is my favourite fried chicken chain. I believe Elijah had a great day too...and the most fantastic thing was having daddy home once again. When will be our next airport trip?? Guess we're all looking forward to it.

The birth of Merly
Iris Yee Yee went to town and we requested for her to buy Merly for Elijah. Hmm...how did Elijah find out about Merly...the YOG mascot? Well....we passed by a giant board of Lyo and Merly everyday when daddy drive past the junction to home and causeway point. He will definitely stare at Merly...so over time via the introduction of Lyo and Merly by mummy....Elijah recognised these 2 cute YOG mascots. I think he is in love with Merly. He is so obsessed with Merly that no matter where we go..he would be staring and telling me that is Merly.
The day ended with dinner at Teochew porridge and coffee session at Old Town Cafe....Elijah had his fair share of yummy bread on top of his porridge. My little eating Machine!!!!
Since he loves Merly so much, we decided to buy Merly for Elijah. So today is the birth of Merly. He owns Merly..hehehe. I personally like Merly better as a picture...I think the mascot is not as cute. But I think it doesn't matter to Elijah. I suppose it's a way for him to own a piece of history of Singapore in that sense. I guess it is love at first sight. He hugged and kissed Merly at the very moment he saw her.
Elijah with his Merly.....Elijah loves Merly

Visit to Dr Ong again...I'm well!!!
We're back in Dr Ong's clinic today to see if everything is back to normal for Elijah and to return the rented neubilizer. Elijah is appreciating Dr Ong's clinic more and more now...coz he gets to see the nice BIG tank of fishes cum prawns in the clinic. He simply adores staring at the little creatures swimming to and fro....especially the little prawns busy feasting the algae around the tank and the water plants.
Mummy...can I bring this BIG tank home???
The best part of visiting the clinic is that it's at United Square...so it means that mummy gets a little shopping while Elijah turns wild at toys'r'us. Right now...Elijah's craze is Woody, Jessie and Bullseye from Toy story. He simply adores them..he had a fun time looking at all the Toy story toy and the banners. :) We simply couldn't resist buying something for him. Haiz...falling into the trap of spoiling kids.
Anyway, Cheewan wanted to let Elijah choose between Elmo and turtle. Obviously....Elijah couldn't make the choice. He simply went crazy over whatever we showed him. Hahhahaha a wild kid running all over Toys'r'us. Anyway, in the end, I just chose turtle for him coz all the parts were soft unlike Elmo...more expensive and had the hard eye parts.
Elijah simply loves TOY STORY!!!! He has never watched the show before but his cousins introduced TOY STORY characters to him...he simply cannot stop calling out to Woody, Jessie and Bullseye.
Elijah: I LOVE ELMO!!!!!!
They also had nice big YOG Mascots posters. So had some photos taken with them for rememberance sake for Elijah. Hopefully...he'll remember that he was around during YOG period and he simply adores Merly.
Merly and Lyo with Elijah
The trip ended with visiting the rabbits at the learning lab...wonder how much learning lab is earning from all the rich parents....wish I had the courage and $ to start up such enrichment class. Afterall...they specialized in life science field...that's not too difficult for me. Heheheh.
Elijah with the Learning Lab rabbit....Elijah...certified an ANIMAL LOVER
Anyway it was a good day trip....we all had fun. And most importantly...I know that Elijah baby is getting better!!! :)

Sick AGAIN!?!
Poor Elijah is sick once again..the same phlegmy cough....poor him. Wheezing once again.
Went back to Dr Ong...and he again put him on the neubilizer. Haiz...Hope he'll get well soon again. Well at least, it's not affecting his sleep. Phew.

Happy 5th Year Together!!!
Today is our 5th Anniversary as a couple. 5 years had flew past....time flies.....from us getting married....having our own place...taking lots of holiday tog....being preggie...preparing Elijah's arrival and birth....Elijah's 1 year old birthday....to Elijah now...17months old. Guess it reminded me of lots of memories....and makes me think back of the many trips we took as friends too. We've grown lots as a couple too.
Oh well...anyway it was also a weekend so we were able to celebrate it as a family. Yiippeee.....we were out in 1 of our fave hangout place...Northpoint. Our fave coz Elijah always gets to visit lots of pets....dogs...cats...hamsters...rabbits..terappines. There's just a whole load of pet shop and grooming shop at the flats area. It's addictive for him and us...coz after seeing how much he enjoys the company of the animals...it just motivates us to bring him there more often.
Anyway we had an average dinner coz we wanted to treat ourselves to nice dessert instead. A nice warm chocolate cake from Bakerzin was to die for...so we decided to head there. Yippeee there was a nice 30% off on all desserts, cakes, mooncakes. Yah..perfect timing. We decided to feast on it. Elijah had a fantastic time too...he had probably the most delicious warm choco cake he has ever tasted. Hahhaha...he loved it. We had to eat at an amazing fast rate to avoid him eating too much. Hahhaa.
Basically we had a lovely day together. Hope we'll continue to grow to love each other even more. :)

Peninsula Hotel...here we come....
About a week ago...our reservation at Peninsula Hotel finally got confirmed..thanks to Pat and Mel...pull strings do get us pretty good deal. I think we've got the best deal anyone could ask for....cheapest hotel rate around the region and best view...much better than those who are staying in 5-6 star hotels.
Both of us are looking forward lots to National day holiday...a long weekend....a nice break and fantastic weekend we can spend with Elijah.
The day started with a nice morning at walk at Upper Pierce reservoir...saw lots of monkeys.
Then off to the hotel stay after Elijah's nap and porridge was done. Pat had checked in for us....stayed in room 2116. Just 1 level below the sky lounge...what more can we ask for. Wow..the view is really stunning. Anyway we did lots of shopping..trying to find luggage...but no sale...so we decided to wait. Hoping to invest in a really light weight lugagge for our Taiwan trip in dec. Elijah was exhausted...slept during our shopping trip...what a darling.
We had the chance to visit Padang...before the actual day..the poor pple were still rehearsing..reminded me of the hard work we had to put in before every major school event. Pity those pple.
It was great fun that Elijah could spend lots of time with his cousins Elliot and Ellie. I think he really enjoyed himself running through the two rooms...coz they're interconnected. But poor Elliot was unwell so he was spending lots of time in the hotel room instead.
The next day was NATIONAL DAY..it was THE DAY..it was fantasitic..the atmosphere in the air was really high...Iris was coming..Mum and Dad came along in the air...it was really nice at least they didn't change their mind.
It was kind of weird to be so close to the real thing..weird in a nice fashion.....weird to be watching partial TV partial live...hahahha. Everyone's eyes were glued to our giantic windows...staring at the real action most of the time. The parachute event...the fighter pilots....the cannons.....the pledge...the small burst of fireworks and the giantic fireworks.
Recall back..this is Elijah's 2nd National Day....He spent both national days in hotel rooms..the 1st was Meritus Marina Manadarin and now.....Peninsula Hotel. We figured from last yr..which hotel had the best view ahhahah. However, think this is the 1st National Day he is conscious of his surrounding. He was full of expression when watching the parade....giving the signal of no more after each major event. He was the one who pointed us to the big helicopter with the flags...he couldn't stop saying 'aeroplane' after he saw the fighter jets. He was really so amazed with the whole experience. He asked for more fireworks...and he was pointing at the padang and asking for 'more'. It is really amazing how much he had grown. I'm really happy we brought him to have such a unique experience. Mummy and daddy really love u lots...Elijah.
Dinner that night was all the packed food....for youngster it was fast food..for mum and dad...it was foodcourt food. Even mum..totally enjoyed herself with the fireworks and stuff. Am so happy that night that I could spend the day with Cheewan and Elijah and my mum, dad and sisters too. Simply blissed.
We left the hotel after going to the bookshop at bras basah...we drove to the open space near the sports school and Christchurch Sec.....to see kites after Elijah had his nap. So the day didn't ended with just a hotel stay for him...he had lots of fun running around and staring at the many kites too. Many more fun sessions that daddy and mummy wanna spend with you. :)
Here's more photos...

We also took our very first family NEOPRINT on National Day itself. It was hilarious...we took it in 1 of the booth in Bugis junction. Everything was in Japanese....both mummy and daddy pressed everything without understanding a single bit hahahha. It was really funny. Surprisingly Elijah looked at the camera in all the poses...think he must have been quite entertained by both of us and wondered what in the world are we doing....laughing so hard most of the time. Oh well...here's the product of our creation.
