Eat with your family day

Guess it's not practice in every company, but today is the "Eat with your Family Day" It's also the starting of a the National Family Celebration 2008 for the children school holidays falling on 24th May-28 June. This day, the fathers are encourage to cook at least one dish for the family. HA! That's definitely a plus for the daddys to do something for the kids which is out of the ordinary.

Olive Tree and I get to knock off early, as early as him, at 4.30pm and mine, 5.00pm. However, we have a different plan. I dated him out instead as I felt that we have not been having any more dates for a long long time. Since having the grandma and helper to take care of the kids, we caught a movie at Toa Payhoh Eng Wah. It's not Indiana Jones or Iron Man that we've watched. :) I've chosen Made of Honour. It's gonna be a date, right?! A simple romantic movie creates the mood for us! It's an enjoyable show, the theatre has less than 10 movie goers! I love the sound track. This genre of movie always makes me feel very light hearted and also the simplicity of the story line are more in tune with our relationship with our partner. The story line is pretty much like "My Best Friend's Wedding". So if you have enjoyed watching that, you would like this as well.

There was this little accident that happened, I put the bag of unfinished popcorns on the arms rest of the vacant chair and alas! The whole bag fell and almost all the popcorns dropped out! GEEEZ. I felt so bad having created a mess for the cleaner and left at my carelessness.

After the movie, we had a subway dinner. Was telling Olive Tree that we should do this dating night more frequently, as we can have our own time, getting a breather from the kids as well as keeping the little sparks in our relationship. ehehehe... I believed he does feel the same. I was telling him I felt like we are young again, and always smiling all the way, holding each others' hands (not holding the kids), cuddling and all. It was a great night.

We fetched the kids at 8.30pm, and headed home.

Here's a couple of Layouts I did over the two weeks. One which I did last night after being inspired by my crop buddy's creation. :)

top of the M

Captured on the night when we had our very first dining experience at Top of the M . The occasion: celebrate Jon's Birthday. It's Seth very first experience, but obviously to him, it's just like any kind of dinner. As for me, I've to wait for 3 decades to be able to have such an experience! bwhaahhaha....what a funny thought. The restaurant has such a quiet ambience and at certain times, Seth was bubbling so loudly that we were so embarrassed. The waiters and waitresses were so nice to come over and play with Seth. One even offered chocolate truffles filled with mint ice cream for Seth! Too bad, my darling son don't know how to appreciate and those went into our tummies instead. (**,) You can see he enjoyed himself loads. Playing and being entertained. He was even entertained by the live strings group (or whatever you call that) with "You are my sunshine" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". That amazed him! We had a dinner set for 4 of us. Seth ...

A fruitful week

Yes, I've went for my interview with the prospecting company and I am relieved that everything went on pretty well and I finally stepped out of my comfort zone as a SAHM. :D How fruitful was the week? Hmmm. These are the things I've done: 1. Went to IT show and got myself the ink cartridges for my HP Photosmart 2575, the TwinMOS 1GB SD with free Card Reader/Writer . Shopped till I nearly dropped! 2. Went for the interview and managed to catch up with ex-colleagues. 3. Purchased an IKEA SET Workstation! Fantastic and great for storing my SB Stuffs and doing SB works. It's really value for money. Was selling @ $365, now on sale, selling @ $145! There were some hiccups when we bought the the SET Workstation at IKEA. When we reached home and I was eager to get Olive Tree to assemble the workstation, we found out that the hardwares were not in the package! Totally a wet blanket! Next day, we had to drop by IKEA again to get the hardwares and IKEA was apologetic enough for the m...

Road Condition

Ok, I am not in the best mood now after been trapped in the terrible jam from home to mom's. Gosh! Journey took 45 mins! Can you imagine? Even how early we get out of the house, the traffic is really bad. Olive Tree has a morning meeting in office and can't be late for that. So I make it a point to get ready earlier and out of the house by 8am. However, the jam at the expressway started at the tpe exit and we got to take the slip road and travel by YCK. It seems that we got out of a jam to enter another! I can feel his frustration over the jam and mood is bad. He was driving / flooring the accelerator type. Hiaz...... By the time we reached mom's. I am already drained. Knowing Seth would wanna be carried up my mom's, I was harsh to him and asked him to walk by himself and not be lazy. Me having to lug the bags and stuff. I can't be carrying him up even it's only a few floors. Especially now in my 2nd Tri. Not forgetting now, I am hungry again, and nothing to eat...
