scribble life

As usual, we went to my mil's place in the evening. As usual, I was aloof and not looking after BB Seth much as I have this thinking, I should be letting BB Seth enjoy his time at his gramps and not be overly concern since lots of family members are around to play with him, look after him. We left for home at 8pm. While saying our goodbye, my eldest sil said to us, "what is in his mouth? He seems to be chewing something?" Olive Tree put his finger in BB Seth's mouth and out he drew out a washer, which at first glance was a screw to me! I was stunned! So was Olive Tree?! How the heck BB Seth got the washer in his mouth and for how long has he been having it in his mouth?! Gosh! Thank God he didn't swallow the washer! I felt so bad, I was wobbly, I feared the worse...but it's really God's Grace that BB Seth did not swallow the washer! MIL was in explanation and all that, but I wasn't listening, as I was in deep thoughts....in my thoughts of the what if....

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...

I just managed to download Ecto for Windows platform. So wondering how it works and got to get use to the interface and etc. I am totally too used to my mOs interface that I kinda become a dumbo with the Ecto Windows version! :( Still love using Ecto with mac.... *tsk tsk*

YES! I have totally neglected my blog. Not updating....have been too hyped up on the new job and also adjusting to the nature of a FTWM. Officially I joined the company on 3rd April 2006. On the first day of work nothing much but orientation. Simply waiting time for making ID Pass has taken away my half day at work. So, is it a blessing or what? Anyway, after the pass was done, I realised that they have given me back my ex-employment employee No. Heee....so that's to say, my particulars were not updated and still reflects my dialect name. Hiaz. I am pretty particular about the dialect name, as I am always being mistaken as a male just by reading my dialect name!!!! Anyway, I had requested the Building Management to change my ID Pass name to reflect what is in my NRIC. However, the processes in the company taking snail mail and I managed to get the replacement only today. Talk about efficiency, *shake head* Things were kinda slow in office for me. I have been sitting in my cubi and ...

or I could have actually know that it's gonna be so difficult to stop being a SAHM and switch to being a FTWM. It kinda torn my heart into pieces just by thinking I will not be spending my almost 24X7 with BB Seth. Feeling loss, missing BB Seth, the time that I spend with him, watching him growing up and achieving the milestones in his babyhood, it's definitely priceless. Such feelings, can't never be well describe using plain English. You can only be able to understand, when you become a mother yourself. The power of Love, the love for your own child, is so great and never ending, never wanna provide anything less than best for your own child. It's termed, UNCONDITIONAL. It's only now, that I can understand our Father's love for us, and what I am feeling now is just a fraction of what He has felt for us! Now, can you imagine how much God loves us, that He has even sacrifice Jesus just to obtain the Father and child relationship with us? The reconciliation?? The...

Thoughts spurred off from here , Hmmm... pondering over the above statement. How frugal can one be? To make your life still as enjoyable? But does it mean that being frugal, you'll yield happiness in your life? If by being frugal, your kids, your family will have a "big" bank account waiting to be utilised in "rainy days" for education, for NEEDY stuffs? This sort of topic can never have a true right or wrong. Life's perspectives varies from human to human. How about talking about my perspective, I wanna share and give me your thoughts, if you might. I am trying to be as frugal as I can, in the aspect that I am not working, so equals I am not financially independent. Being financially independent allows me more cash to spend on the things I wanna spend. But since I can't earn much now except with the minute pay I am getting from teaching on a sat each week. I can spend just enough on my new hobby. However, I do have my debts to clear, like the Line of Cr...

When I am happy, i guess I look like BB Seth in this photo. Hee...Isn't he soooooo super adorable!? We were at Kopitiam having our family breakfast when I snapped this photo. I had a good mail day. That's why I am happy. Will post up what's in my mail. {Updated} What a fruitful day, again for me! (**,) I received a call from TwinMOS around noon time, telling that they have retrieved the photos from the faulty SD card. WOW! I was overjoyed! Intended to meet Olive Tree at 4.30pm and then we go shop for a playpen for BB Seth. So, I left home around 4pm, with BB Seth tagging along. I can't wait to get back my photos, so I went down to Burlington Square and got my photos back. After that, went to SLS for a walk. Doing my research on Dopod 818 Pro and realized that the 3rd party software for sync Windows Mobile 5.0 to Mac is still not avail in SG. What a wet blanket. Then I went to SGL to check out the APPLECare pack they are carrying, as previously MS Lee quoted me $480 for ...

Yes, BB Seth has 2 budding teeth on his lower gum. It's about time that his teeth making their grand appearance. Previously, he has been uncomfortable due to the teething process and waking up by the hour or so... Now that the budding teeth are out, it should be better for him. I have actually took a few of the big mouth laughing and revealing his teeth but alas! My new purchase SD Card failed me when I was snapping myself happy at the zoo on Monday! URRRGH! So, praying hard and God bless that the photos I've snapped in the zoo can be retrieved and be return to me. (**P) I am very upset and went down to TwinMOS Service centre on Wednesday to get it exchanged. It's not so much that I can get another new card but the precious, timeless photos that I took in the zoo (as it has been ages, you know, since I last visit the zoo). Especially I've captured some of Seth super adorable laughters. Double URRRGH! Anyway, I managed to capture another of BB Seth big mouth laughter sho...

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...

Yes, the handsome prince of mine. He is in his teething stage now. This morning, I've just seen his teeth like budding up! It gets me so excited. (**,) Can't wait to see his teeth. Hope he doesn't bite though! Else I sure scream! I wanted to do an updated post on my recent activities but it's already late (rather so early in the morning), I have no mood to carry on liao. Will post again on what I am busy with lately. Needless to say, it must be something about scrapbooking. Olive Tree, has been shaking head and wondering about my spending but I am zipped about it. Thank God, I am working part-time for now. Still pretty ok. Besides, the spending, I have came to known new friends and they are a wonderful bunch. Recently, have been actively going out meeting some of them, like Clara, Joanne. (oh, I so love their daughters, sweetie pies) On a high note, I've got the confirmation to go for the interview! It's really exciting and also a bit stress for me lar. As I...

Ok, this is gonna be a vent post. Didn't have a good day actually. Woke up in the morning mom goes like this, Mom: "Soi Khim's niece who quitted her high pay job to look after her baby, now got a new job liao. She can get job so fast!" Moi: ........ Mom: "I just don't understand why people can find job so easily, you like so difficult to get a job. See you, always on computer, but no job interview no job!" Moi: .......... Moi: "Ya, I do have something coming up! But the job requires me to work late, if you are ok that I always work late, I take up the job lor! Can you handle my son then?" Mom: "If you don't breastfeed, it'll be easier to look after your son. Just mix cow's milk with hot water then can feed your son liao. With breast feeding, still need to warm up milk and by the time milk is ready, your son cries till the cows come home." Moi: "It's just a matter of getting use to lar! ........." Damn sick l...

Seeing the joy in Olive Tree's eyes, it's like sparkling with fire and passion for his darling boy. He is totally in love with his BB Seth! Imagine he can sing praises about his son so much that it gets so mushy at times! haha! That's the joy of being a daddy. The joy of able to see his son smiles, the achievement of milestones. He can tell me repeatedly, "He is sooooo adorable, sooooo handsome." It's the kinda of joy that you will not be able to experience unless you are a parent yourself. I always stand in awe when I see BB Seth. He is getting more and more active, intelligent and playful. He knows what we are saying when we say certain things, he comprehends in his own way. He talks and roars. haha! How is that possible, I don't know. But he simply brings the joy out of us! It's totally wonderful to have such feeling and I can feel a percentage of how our Daddy God love us, knowing that Jesus actually loves us more but what we are showering to our c...

It's such a wonderful feeling to always be able to snap photos of BB Seth. The laughters, the cries the whines. He is always eager to pose for the camera and smiling face welcoming any shots taken. Bro has said he is photogenic. Indeed! Look at the photos! Olive Tree had a food poisoning case that got me real mad! It wasn't him being sick that made me that mad. It was having the food that cause him this discomfort and MC that caused me to fume and still fuming hot! It was such an unhappy birthday buffet we had attended on Sunday at his Aunt's place. The celebration was for his grandma. But the whole event turned out bad as the cousin were negotiating about taking turns to look after the 90 years old grandma. What kind of brain that cousin has, pea brain?? Really insensitive. Being angry and had to leave in a huff with BB Seth eating part of his dinner made me damn pissed. The next day, Olive Tree had such a bad food poisoning that sent him migraine kinda pain for the whole ...

Satisfaction, is when you are very pleased and a cool breeze goes pass you and make you relaxed totally, with the uplifting heart. After I have given birth to BB Seth, the kinda of satisfaction comes in bigger package. Why, the very first satisfaction is already, giving birth to BB Seth! How not to be satisfied when God has given me such a precious gift that is so priceless? Follow soon after, is the satisfaction of breast-feeding him and him growing so healthily and no supplement of formula milk at all! Seeing BB Seth throughout his milestones, how his looks changes and such a happy baby, how he overcomes every obstacles in learning and emerge an achiever. It's nothing else but called SATISFACTION! I have to say this, and am not shy about it, he is totally gorgeous in our eyes. That is, he evokes the adorable and yet intelligent looks that we are totally captivated by him. Another friend of mine said, " I am besotted to him!" (Referring to her son who is 2 weeks older th...

He is, as considered, 8 month old from today. How time flies right? I look at him, he has grown so much. Getting more adorable each day with his quirky actions, laughters, faces. Ooh... pinch-able cheeks too. In our eyes, he is the handsome and intelligent prince. He is so infectious when he laughs and smiles, the whole world brightens up. He started to be able to pull himself up from prone position with support like couch or elevated objects. So now, he really enjoys doing the stunt. Today, he did it again. In the living room, sits our mini couch and is within his reach. BB Seth pulled himself up, I was within a foot away from him only, I was just turning my head away to watch the TV program and "pomped" came the sound. Next moment, BB Seth was quiet. This was followed by cries that is consolable and ok, it is BB Seth's 1st fall! I was pretty worried but calming him down by carrying him, soothing him to stop crying. The other incident that happened today was, BB Seth was...

Busy with visiting family, relatives and friends. In fact, not having enough rest and took the slight hiatus from Digi-scrap. The hands got so itchy, the mind got so preoccupied that on the 4th day of Lunar New Year, I've got to go back down to my hobby. BB Seth had such fun time visiting, being carried around by various people. Trying to "print" the faces in his mind. He was really a good sport with no inhibition when he was carried by strangers. My dad was busy advertising that I bring BB Seth out when he was very young so that he'll not be afraid of meeting people and no separation anxiety. He was so happy and smiling whenever he is in front of the camera or he is being teased at. Damn Cute! We ate and ate. Olive Tree played mahjong on Lunar 1st day till 4 plus in the morning. Thank God it was at our graceland. I got to sleep and BB Seth was ok throughout the night with me breast-fed him when he wakes up. This year was a year of reconciliation between my mom and my...

Technorati Tags: Chinese New Year

We are doing a TAG game started from Sri . How does it works? As Per Sri's description; "What is tagging? Basically, it's a set of questions given from a blogger to another and whoever get tagged, have to post their answers on their blog and tag someone else. Got it? I'm tagging anyone and everyone reading my blog. So, tag you are it!!!" 1. First Kiss? Honestly, the kiss was given when I am in Sec 2! OOOWW! So underaged, but at least we are not having sex!? How was it? Hmmm...sweet but not really fantastic. What you expect from a first time kisser? 2. First Date ? That'll be Sec 2 also! That's the first guy I really wanted to go on a romantic date with. I can't really recall where and what happened. Most probably, it's catching a movie. Typical pah-tor..... 3. First Time You Fell in Love Really in love.....when I was in Poly, then was 17 years old. Considering the kinda, you put your total self into the relationship and loose it all.....hiaz.......

The morning kick-started with a early wake up and I am excited. Why? Eh, cause my moodicare clock will arrive today!! Yipee! Just wanna have a feel of how the little thing looks and operates. I think it looks cool on the Net. Here's mine. It's really a nice white cube clock. I love it for its room temperature readings, displaying of day and date. Of course not forgetting, the illuminations looks great! It is now sitting besides my MoS, illuminating away with moods. (**,) I love it too, as it can be used as a stimulating moods for great...... you go think about it. It's a good buy for my case as I stumble upon it by chance. Through the above link. Olive Tree asked why the sudden of getting the clock. Hiaz. To add on to my gadget collections lor. Yes, the little prince. It's again a rant post. I kinda ran out of food and idea when coming to Seth's solid foods sessions. The slow cooker porridge making was a flop. We've got too little pork ribs for stewing the soup...

Yes, I've been really busy. How did all these started, the digi SB, the addiction, the hunger for more ideas and all this equivalent to more time spent in front of my lappy. (I shall give my lappy a name....Let's just call it MoS) How does it sound? Aiya, anyway, it's my lappy, how I wanna name it, my prerogative. BB Seth was doing CIO training for more than a week already. He is still crying in the nights, we kinda of give up letting him cry in the wee hours and I continue to give him 1-2 times feeds. SO much of crying, that his double eyelids for his left eye popped out already. Poor guy. The routine now is, he'll cry a bit till he dozed off at 9-9.30pm. So, we'll have free time to do what we need to. (chores seems to be the utmost priority) However, I've been such an addiction to the board and SB(Scrap-booking) , I didn't do much and poor Olive Tree got to do it. Anyway, I did sweeping and mopping yesterday and have contributed to the house chores. (**,)...
