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. :)

Updates....more updates

D-day for IRAS e-Filing! I am such an 11th hour person, that I manage to e-file my tax return last night. Anyway, I am not getting any income for year 2005. So it's totally easy for me to e-file. Clicking and clicking a few buttons and the e-file is done. However, it wasn't so smooth flowing for Olive Tree. WHY? Because he has forgotten his Singpass PIN and he has to get a new one. Worse part is, he can only get it today, since I am such a last minute work person, he'll have to mad rush into getting the PIN from the appointed places for SINGPASS application. I felt bad and I apologise. What to do with a wife like that? Just have to bite the bullet lor. Since last week test posting in the office is working well, I deem I should step up my blog update. Has not been very constant in updating my blog, be it the scrapblog or this. Feeling bad about it. Seth has been growing in tremendous speed! haha! That's obvious! He starts to enter the mimic stage where he'll mimic t...

Doggy Poo

Seth's into this Korean Anime Craze now. He was so into Pororo for the past 2 weeks. Then last Thursday, he has a new fav, Doggy Poo . The Anime is quite a meaningful one and Seth enjoys watching it, he names the characters, he asked about the story line. The funny part of it is hearing him say, "Doggy Poo" with such a cuteness. The story tells the little ones and even us, adults, God has a good plan for all of us, no matter how insignificant we may think our lives are. Image courtesy from Wikipedia Tomorrow we are sending Seth for his review. Hope his lungs are cleared and the medication feeding days are over. It's really a great struggle to feed the little guy his Antibiotics. Even now, he can goes on and on repeating the word, "Anti-biotices". Compose a tune about it! Aiyo. :(

showing it differently

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...
