scribble life

Finally a photo of Seth and his God-sis. This was taken at family lunch gathering last Saturday. We went to Suki Sakura at TPY to celebrate dad's birthday. Seth had fun with his cousins whom he sees only occasionally. So lack of updates lately. Of course, reason being I am too lazy to blog and tell what's happening as I am so sleep deprived, overwhelmed with work (trying to clear and clear), into my 40 weeks of pregnancy is very challenging as I am so heavy now. I can feel so breathless at times..... :( I want to do things, scrap, sew, what have you but the body is weak. God has been good. Comparing to last few weeks, this week I am more fruitful at work, I managed to list down the major outstanding tasks, follow-ups and logged in POs, cleared my tender submission. This list of o/s works will be sent to my boss, will be surrendering my laptop to my boss so he can access my work and emails. It'll be good for me as well as I don't have to burden with work when I am in my ...

Sometimes, there are questions on my mind, on the love I have for Olive Tree or vice versa. How much we love each other? Ok, mushy....but that's the fact. Women in general will have such thoughts, whether the husbands still love the wives like courtship days, will the love ever change...blah blah blah... Maybe it's due to the fact that husband and wife have been staying together for so long, somehow or rather, might have taken each other for granted and will not express the love for one another that often which spurs such funny thoughts. However, my man has chosen the other ways to show me he still cares and loves me as much. For the little or big things that he do for the family and me. Olive Tree was in my scraproom last night, while I was in the living room watching Oprah. I thought he was doing some handywork for Grace's cabinets or something for Seth..... This morning, when I woke up, I went to my scraproom and this was what I saw besides my scrap table.... It's so...

It's tiring enough not able to sleep well at night. Worse, kana sore throat and runny nose. :( Sunday was sleepless for me again. So told my boss that I am going on medical leave on Monday. Hoping to rest a bit, clear some of my paperwork at home, (no one in office to disturb me). Alas! My boss was on leave as well yesterday! Customer called me and asked me to do an urgent quote. Then when I launched outlook, there's no turning back liao. Sat on the couch clearing emails, work, quotations, what have you??? =( Aching back, and all, I succumbed to my tiredness at 4pm, went to take a nap. woke up at 5plus, Olive Tree came back home and we went to my mom's. It has become a routine now, that I can't sleep at night, due to to the heavy tummy and constant BH. Turning from right to left is super impossible lest I sit up and then stand up, lie on my left side. Don't know to look forward to birthing or to hope for more time (so as to clear the work in office) ........ Technor...

Seth's goes Botak today!! Wonder how the grandparents will react seeing him like this..... I know my mom would be so happy cos she has been bugging us to cut him botak. Technorati Tags: ourblessedseth

We went to Sembawang Park for a stroll. Seth enjoyed the bubbles time at the park and were more adventurous this time. Chasing after the bubbles, running down slopes and all. Technorati Tags: ourblessedseth

what else but surfing the net, reading blogs. Ages have not been reading blogs from Kenny Sia and Xia Xue ... once in awhile entertaining. Esp reading from Kenny's blog. This entry is really funny. But patience to read through the whole post.

That's what Seth thinks as well..... when you hear him saying, " I want to see handsome boy." He is refering to himself.... so vain! Technorati Tags: ourblessedseth

This boy..... started to give us this headache of controlling him in the public. He is flying all over the places and refuse to be carried. Exploring, demanding, what have you! Toddlerhood is definitely challenging. As we thought, he is pretty gentle at times, but when he is demanding, he can shout so loud, I can even hear him when I am in the public toilet! Aiyo! The frustrating thing about him these days, he loves to end his demands with "..... lar, ..... lar!!" We kept wondering who did he learn this from?? From us? couldn't be, as we don't end our sentences that often with "lar". He can go on forever to get what he wants, repeating himself again and again. Very long-winded manz! We went out for lunch with Jon and Marg at J8 this afternoon. After which, we visited my colleague's wife who has given birth to a 9 pounder! Natural and without epidural! Baby Jared is so adorable! Here's what I've made for Baby Jared's parents. Simple card, with...

You Are Smores Unusual and unconventional, you make your strange ways work for you. You've got personality - no one's denying that! Funny thing is, I never tasted a Smores before! HA! What Dessert Are You Most Like? ================================= You Are Chunky Monkey Ice Cream Truthfully, you're too spazzy to be chunky - you cheeky monkey! This is pretty true! I love chunky monkey!!! What Flavor Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Are You? ================================= You Are Sunrise You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts. All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be. What Time Of Day Are You? ================================= In 1975 (the year you were born) Gerald Ford is preside...

Have been busy for most of the weekends, shopping, spring cleaning around the house, resting, working.... Seems to have so much to do and so little time now. For I am such a last minute person, still not able to do proper time management. Sad. About Seth Toddlerhood has been challenging. He shows his temperament, he speaks his mind, learns really quick, be it bad or good habits. At a stage, he can be such a good boy a day, the next day, he wants to get what he wants and relentless till he gets them. We can pull all our hair out and he still insist to have it his way. Coaxing, scolding, all we've tried..... indeed challenging. We have to be really patience and stick to a routine for him. No matter how tired I may be, I would stick to the regular routine of getting him to brush his teeth, clean his face, morning, night, nap when we are at home. Cos if he didn't get his deserving rest, we get our deserving tantrums from Seth. As usual, he will make us melt with his awesome silly s...

A song that I like after watching Praise Baby-My Father's World DVD. =========== The splendor of the King, Clothed in majesty Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice He wraps himself in light, And darkness tries to hide And trembles at his voice, And trembles at his voice Chorus(1): How great is our God, sing with me How great is our God, and all will see How great, How great Is our God Age to age he stands And time is in His Hands Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End The Godhead, Three in one Father, Spirit, Son The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb Repeat Chorus(1) Name above all names You are Worthy of our praise and My heart will sing how great Is our God (x2) Repeat Chorus(1)(X2)

Seth looking out the car's window, watching cars zoom by Seth: stupid.... stupid... Seth: Mummy, mummy, stupid cars, stupid cars...... Mummy: *SHOCKed* Daddy: Mummy, say more of that and he learns....... Mummy: *ashamed-looking* but laughing out loud! Technorati Tags: ourblessedseth

This was taken last Sunday (8th July), when we went to @ central, besides Merchant Court Hotel. Seth's 1st breakfast at Starbucks. For Daddy and Mummy just love the hot mocha at Starbucks. He had a great time, seating on the comfy chair, staring at the goings out side, telling me, "taxi, bus, cars, motobikes...." He almost ate 2/3 of the chocolate eclair I've bought him, with part of my cinamon raisin bagel. Nothing much to shop around at Central that morning, though 11am, shops were still closed. I feel that it's more of a congregation of shops that you can find in Far East Plaza, more suited for teenagers. We were waiting for time to past before heading for my ex-colleague's wedding lunch at Peninsular Hotel. 13.7.2007 Seth took his pneumoccocal jab at Kid's Clinic that afternoon. After his immunisation jab, he has not had injection since 1.5 years old. We were a tad worry that he will cry out and of course, heart pain to see him go through jabs. He was ...

It's a about enjoying the simpler pleasure of life, to enjoy the moments, even how insignificant it may be. Eg, holding the little hands of Seth, eating bread in the car with Olive Tree and Seth, strolling Seth up and down escalators, tilting him downwards, having addictive hobbies! Oh and so the new hobby starts from the purchase of a sewing machine. No, I would not want it to be 3 mins kind of passion but a long long one, just like why I love scrapbooking! Yupz, the hobbies I have needs investment but prudence, prudence in spending... Over the weekend, here's my loot from the local stores. I so love the turquoise polka-dot, (fetish for turquoise colors lately). The very 1st fabric in big floral prints,.... they are thick cotton, thinking of using them to do mini bags or pouch as a first try before I invest in better fabric, (esp from the States), I so love the recent findings on the net and can't help but to share with you.

Wife: You always carry my photo in your wallet. Why ? Hubby: When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, I look at your picture, and the problem disappears. Wife: You see how miraculous and powerful I am for you ? Hubby: Yes! I see your picture and ask myself --- what other problem can be greater than this one ?

Going gaga over this phone, with all the fabulous features (iPod, iPod Video, Internet, Phone functionality, all in it) Mr Jobs have put into it, I can't wait for it to launch. Alas! The States are only launching it US Time 6pm, 29/06/07. So for Singapore die-hard fans, wait long long... till next year? In hope the stock don't run out as well! If you have 20 minutes, you should see this video introduction to this gorgeous phone! Ok there's a catch, in order for the phone to work with my PB, I need to have OS X 10.10 or later!?!!? and what is my PB running on now?? 10.4.2???? Darn!So should I get a new macbook pro? CRAZY!! I am still the gadget freak! HELP!!!!! Technorati Tags: gadgets

How frustrating? I did not sleep much yesterday with all the "you know what" tots. So when I came home, I am dead-beat. Went to bed at 10pm, with Seth being such a darling when I said I wanna sleep in the other room by myself, he actually said bye to me and followed his daddy back to the master-bedroom. I manage to drift off quite quickly. However, woke up at 2 plus, disturbed by the bad tummyaches! I think to myself "WHAT AGAIN!!" SICK AGAIN!" Then went to the toilet to do the biz, and somewhat rest is being disturbed. Thereafter, went to the scraproom and surf online. Lately, have been having this annoying hearing issue on my left ear. Keep hearing my own heartbeat thumping thumping and kinda irritating. After the block nose block ear, this happened. Hope it goes away soon. 10 more weeks, 10 more weeks to go. I am really not intolerable of the pregnancy process but guess it's towards the job I am doing. I just can't wait to get out and go on to have m...

there are more than 24 hours a day... I could make use of the time to do more things. Somehow, the work in office never seems to end. I can't complete impending tasks and that got me frustrated. Why? So when I get off work, I still think of what I should have completed and the backlogs should have diminish and not pile up. I am terrible in keeping to deadlines as well. Missing them one by one. I am incompetent then, if I can't complete, isn't it? So I should have more time, if possible to get the jobs done, working 8 hours a day did not enable me to complete so I need more. But then again, how hard I tried, I still find that I can't shake off the work thoughts even when I go home, and that is totally not right, as I can't rest. I would wake up in the wee hours of 4am and think think think.... what have I need to clear on work before I go for delivery? ok, I am stressed.... and rumbling... Technorati Tags: mommy's rants

Morning look -- Seth's 2nd birthday We decorated the house with Cars birthday deco. He really likes them Seth and his Gugu having McD Breakfast. So deep into discussion, aren't they?

We had a mini family party to celebrate Seth's 2nd Birthday. We deco the house with CARS balloons and banners. Thanks to AM for the wonderful and delicious cupcakes. :) Besides the cupcakes, Seth got a ice cream cake made from Swensen's. Nothing but CARS! Aiyo, he is going crazy over cars... (**,) He had a wonderful time and did not nap at all for the whole day! So, by the end of the day, he has super cranky that's a handful for us to handle. I caught his flu bug. Came down with sore throat and running nose, during his birthday party, gosh, aching body and had fever again!!!! {*DRAT*} spoiling the mood but I tried to stay up to entertain my bro's buddy and wife but the body succumbed to the pain and I had to rest.... feel so pai sei. My dear bro only arrived with the kids at 4plus! Blessed that we did not wait up for him to cut the cake manz. Dad and Mom, Jon and Marg, Lawson and Catherine were waiting till the necks are so long already! My family left at 10pm in the ni...
