Shopping mood
Mood: Happy; satisfied :)
Recently I have not been sleeping very well..guess its the pregnancy insomnia kicking in. Or could it be due to my online shopping sprees that take place every other day, causing sleepless nights because of GUILT??? Hubby is gonna kill me if he finds out about my 'little dark secret' of online shopping. It is indeed a very addictive hobby and looking at the array of products in the market, I am really spoilt for choice. One week has passed and I am waiting anxiously for my 'loot' to be shipped here.
Ehhem...i shall post an update here once I receive my Loot. Do check back!

A Bag that makes a Statement
Mood: Fingers itching from all the online shopping
The most conveted bag of this season, the green bag by Anya Hindmarch. A fren of mine called me Yesterday and asked if I want to get the IT bag? This is the most talked about bag in London, USA, Hongkong and many other parts of the world.After I hung up the phone, I went to browse on the web to see what this little bag is all about. Now the trend has come to Singapore....I see the bag spree in SMH forum,personal blogs, Ebay, Yahoo...gosh....!

Now the trend has come to Singapore....I see the bag spree in SMH forum,personal blogs, Ebay, Yahoo...gosh....!
First thought that ran through my mind...funny looking bag. Why the craze? Then this morning, cannot resist the topic in the forum, I went to peek at the bag again...Nice....quite a cool bag for Wednesday shopping at Cold Storage (for the 'no plastic bags day')....but wait....who would pay S$40+ for a bag that started selling in London for about S$15?.....and how can we be sure that the bags (from sprees) are the real stuff or another Made in Chixx fake stuff? Hack, maybe just get my hands on a few bags, keep one for myself (since it's an IT bag, must have it!) and resell the rest when the price hikes..(wishful thinking, what if its worthless by then the stocks arrive?)
Then i chance upon this blogger's site and had a good laugh.....this is one humorous guy. Quoted from his blog:
"Sainsbury's launched I'm Not A Plastic Bag in 450 stores on the 25th April. Due to overwhelming demand all stock has now sold out." I heard in the greengrocers (yes, an exotic location for fashion gossip), that Blackpool had a queue to buy these shopping bags,with people coming from Preston to buy them and a quick look at ebay has £5 shopping bags going for £7 and the original designer ones for £50+ quid. According to the BBC they are made in China (big on sweatshop conditions, low on workers rights, eg. to have a break, fair pay) and flown here (so a big carbon footprint). So really just a way of getting a luxury brand lots of press and fake green credientials. I wish people would get a grip.
So I made one myself.." (wahahaha..this is a good one)
Now, should I buy or should I not......? No, not this la , I mean the real stuff.....
P/S: The purple colour is nice though :) *Wink*

Picnic time
Recently hubby and myself like to spend our lazy Sunday afternoon at the Changi beach. We don't really swim in the sea, but hubby and I like to pack our lunch and some snacks, set up our hammock and laze away the day. We spend our time chatting, playing with Favian and sometimes we do a little BBQ. It's a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle, enjoying the breeze and spend quality family time together.
Learning to make a Pizza
(back dated post)
It was a trip conducted by Favian's childcare centre. It was an enriching trip to Pasta Mania kitchen and the kids sure had a lot of fun. They learnt to make pasta, pizza and their lunch was Spaghetti which Favian enjoyed a lot.
At the end of the session, they get to bring home a goody bag which includes a Pasta Mania T-shirt, a balloon and a Pizza. Mummy was overjoyed and immediately took the pizza to the microwave oven intending to heat it up. Luckily daddy came into the kitchen in time and showed me the label on the pizza box : 'NOT FOR CONSUMPTION'. hahahaha...so it was merely a hands-on project of Favian's, hence not fit for consumption. Well, all i could do was to take snapshots of it to keep as a memory...

Saffy, thanks for coming over to pass me the socks! It's really exciting whenever I receive my purchases and hubby wonder why i can spend money when I don't even step out of my house. More to come.... Kekekeke....Look aren't these socks cute?

Where have all the photos gone?
Mood: Sad, bored
Today is a very moody day for me...i wanted to consolidate all the photos taken during Favian's birthday from 1st yr to 3rd birthday...but I seem to have LOST THEM! Gosh....imagine my frustration cos every of his birthday meant a lot to me. For his 1st Birthday, I actually designed a cake for him....it's made up of his name F-A-V-I-A-N. 2nd year's birthday was a combined celebration with Catherine's daughter, Claudia at the space below my flat. It was a simple affair but fun and the cake was a Minnie and Mickey hugging each other :) The saddest thing is I have also lost the photos for last year's celebration. Dad told me that the video tape was damaged, and I can't find the photos I have taken too!!! I spent a bomb on Favian's Thomas the Train birthday cake and took a whole lot of shots of the party. (we booked a chalet at Aranda Country Club and did decorations of the place)....Mummy is gonna break down soon...so sad that he can't have his birthday memories.....Hiaz.
After lunch I digged all my CD rom collections, hoping to find some backup disks of the photos..but to no avail.....JUS then....I logged in hubby's Yahoo Photo Album and found the photos for the combined birthday celebration with Claudia! Yippeee......at least for now I still have 1 birthday bash for Favian to remember! (see slide)

First visit to the Dentist
Teacher Yati called at 10 am this morning and told me about the rashes on Favians legs. It scared the hell out of me as I was still in bed when she called. I quickly took a cab and rushed down to Treasure Box to fetch him and brought him to Dr. Sim's clinic at Elias Mall.
Luckily it was not anything serious and I applied some cream prescribed by the PD. Later hubby met up with us and we
brought him to the dentist at Elias Mall for his 1st dental checkup cos we were 
suspecting Favian having tooth decay when we saw some white spots on this 2 front teeth. But dentist told us that it was a normal stain cos his teeth were very white, hence a little bit of stain will appear very obvious.
After the visit we went back home to get ourstuff and headed for Tampines Swimming pool.
Favian enjoyed himself so much cos it has been a long time since we last brought him to the swimming pool. This time they have upgraded with some slides for kids.....see my 2 'boys' having fun!

Baby's full month
Today Shen invited all of us to her baby boy's full month celebration at Sennett Rd. It was fun catching up with the rest and seeing our little tods running around. Its getting more difficult to gather all the children to take nice photos like before.
Finally managed to take some pics with Shirli and Shen (and their little ones)
My handsome boy posing for the camera too!
Hubby was busy with his 'arowana exchange' and did not turn up at the
full month party....hiaz me got to 'tompang' a ride from Catherine. Thanks Catherine and her hubby for offering me a ride home too. Before reaching home, Catherine suggested to bring the kids to the Pasar Malam near my place for a walk. Favian managed to convince mummy to let him take not 1 but 2 rides on the train. He said the train looked like James in Thomas and Friends series. Hmm...good imagination.

Here's a picture i took of them.
Favian: "Hope to see Godma more often !"

Tai-tais' gathering
This aftermoon i had lunch with Karen, Catherine (and little Claudia) at Compass Point Food Court before meeting with the rest of the mummies at Goodwood Park Hotel for our 'Tai-tais' high tea gathering.
Gosh, I have actually known this bunch of motherly figures for 4 years. We have not met for a while since most of the mummies were occupied with their little ones.
After a little shopping trip at Galleria DFS (Karen bought a Gucci wallet without even 'blinking'.kekeke) we proceeded to Goodwood Park Hotel to meet up with the rests: Genevieve, Fenni, Aileen and Shirli. It was a nice high tea gathering and topic of the day was Primary school for our little young men.
We proceeded to Taka for some shopping again and I finally bought my Gucci Abbey Tote after a few days of consideration. Hubby supported this idea and this is a gift for celebrating my pregnancy! (See right insert for the big pic)

Seeing my Little Princess
I was due for detail scan this morning at TMC with the sonographer. We waited almost an hour for my turn and finally my name was called. When the sonographer announced that I am expecting a baby girl, hubby was delighted and held my hands...he had always wanted a baby girl and we are glad that our wish was answered. Yippee...we have decided to name her Mischa Teo, but don't ask me about the chinese name yet...cos we have not chosen any.
Little Princess Mischa was flipping away inside my tummy throughout the scan as the sonographer commented that at the beginning of the scan, her head was on my right side and at the end of the scan her head was on the left side of my tummy! The scan took about 25min and I got a printed ultrasound scan picture of our little girl.
P/S: After comparing with Little Favian's ultrasound scan taken 4 yrs ago, i can't help but find that they really look similar...hubby agreed that they have identical big forehead and high nose profile. (The scan on the left belongs to our Little Princess and the one on the right belongs to Gor gor Favian).
