Angeline is a big girl now!

These are some updates of my little girl's photos.... She is coming 2 years old and she is such a princess at home. I think she is in her "terrible 2" stage - TERROR!!!!

She will want things her ways... if not, she will "pretend" to be sad. She is one DRAMA QUEEN! But she is still a darling at home cos you can't get angry with her for a long time. She is so cuteeeeee... adorable...... aiyo ... Headache for us at times.

Angeline's Xmas

I remembered I took these two pictures at Bottle Tree @ Sembawang after having dinner there.

This is our Christmas tree @ home.....


This is Angeline's Christmas present for Year 2007 - A dressing table to complete her kitchen set.

Xmas Eve (24 Dec 07)

Merry Christmas.... Though it's a bit late, but I still wish everyone MERRY XMAS!!!!

How did you celebrate your Christmas Day? Party all night long? Stay at home with your loved one? Went for late night movie?? There were so many things to do in this small little island. How did we celebrate ours then?

Let me started with my Christmas eve.... we got invited to join my neighbours for their BBQ party. Boring? Not at all. We haven't been to any BBQ party for long long time. I took some pictures on that night.

小猪 － 罗志祥签唱会 (14 Dec 07)

This is to celebrate his launch of his latest CD - 一支独秀. It was held at Bishan Junction 8 on 14 Dec 07. The event started at 7pm but I think the queue started the day before the actual event. We promised to bring Andy to see him and get his signature on the CD.

So we rushed down after work. By the time we reached there, it was around 7pm but the queue was all the way out of J8!!! He is so popular among all ages!!! Can't imagine that - I see babies, toddlers, young girls and boys and even aunties and uncles. Some aunties and uncles are not only holding on to his CDs but even posters and sign boards!!! With running lights!!!! WOW!

We thought that since the queue is so long, forget about it and we had our dinner at Sakae Sushi... But after dinner, we walked past the event area and we can see that Andy really wanted to join in the fun and wanted to have his CD signed too so we joined in the queue at 8pm.

By the time we joined the queue, we were queuing outside Subway! So long! By the time we reached outside macdonald, look at the time - 930pm!!! So tired :(

But we have queued for so long liao, give up half way also not happy. So we continued waiting... waiting...and waiting. By the time, we got up to the event area - time :1015pm. Yawn! Tired! Cannot give up again so we queued up to get near to the stage. By the time, we are on stage - time : 11pm and there are still hundreds of fans still waiting behind us.

What is the purpose of queuing up for hours just to get his signature on the cover, handshake with him, and that's all??? Andy thinks it's worthwhile for him cos he's hardly in love with 小猪.

Below are some pictures and video clips of the event......

PSLE!!!!

I thought December will be a relaxing month for me but it turned out to be a busy month for me....

Other than attending a concert with Andy and Regi....we have to collect PSLE results!!!! Finally the day has come - the most important day for Andy's 12th years of human. Though results wasn't that fantastic, he got only 182 and he's eligible for Normal Academic, we were quite pleased that at least he didn't failed any paper. He got 2 Bs and 2 Cs.

We enrolled him to a neighbourhood school - Woodgrove Secondary School. This school will take him only 2 minutes walk to the side gate. Haha... can you imagine how convenient school will be for him next year. He doesn't have to worry about waking up early, missing the bus to school, etc.

We spent about $350 on his new school books and uniforms. That's alot of money :( but if he can do well in this school, it's worth the money spent. He told us that he will try his best to get into express stream. Whether he can do it or not, we are happy that he's willing to give it a try. My baby boy has grown up... haha

He will be starting his new school term soon - 2nd Jan 08, I do hope that he will get used to this new environment and study hard. He will be going for his first secondary school camp on the 3rd Jan 08 and will be back on 5th Jan 08. I hope he will enjoy himself there and get to know some good friends - good characters and good influence to him.

All the best, Andy. Mummy is happy that you are a big boy now. Good luck and study hard.

Show On Stage Singapore 2007

I bought a ticket for my son to go for the concert on 1 Dec 2007 but in the end, both my hubby and I can't take it. Hands and hearts are itchy so we bought 1 pair of tickets for ourselves at the very last minutes...

Our seats are not the best of the best but it was great. We managed to have a good view of the whole show. I got my hubby to change seat with my son so that he can have a clearer view.

The show was FANTASTIC. Everyone is so happening - screamed and shouted his name, participated in the show - singing and dancing along with him.

We had a great time dancing and singing along with his other fans. My son who is so "in love" with him had a great time there. I am glad that he enjoyed himself on that night.

A new toy for mua....

Hey girls and women out there, hear me out. Save your money on trips to salons when you can create the hairstyles that you want yourself....

I bought this VS 9 in 1 curler & straighter last week at Watson's Vivocity. It costs my hubby less than $50 and you can create different hairstyles everyday and anyday. I can curl my hair using different sizes of curlers and I can straighten and crimp my hair too. Wow... FANTASTIC!!! I think I can save lots of money by investing in this new toy.

Of cos the downside is I have to wake up earlier to wash my hair, blow dry (it works on dry hair only) then I can style my hair the way I want. It may take a while to get used to it, but once you get your hands used to the twisting, curling, etc... you can get your hair done in less than 15 - 20 minutes.

Today I tried using the curlers (please apply mousse before styling your hair!) and the end product.... take a look at the pictures below to see for yourself!!! I like it very much. What do you think?

Pretty woman?? I don't think so! Not yet.

I don't think I will consider my little baby - Angeline as a woman yet. She's only 21 months old little girl but I must said that she is my pretty girl - our little princess!

I am not too sure if she will grow up, wanting to look pretty, put on makeup, wear high heels, etc... But I think she is trying to follow how I do things.

She will want me to put powder on her face when I am putting on my makeup for work. Not only foundation powder, lip gloss and even moisturiser.

When I go to shoe shop, she will take a pair (psst... she is interested in on adult shoes only, sometimes high heels) of shoes off the shelf and put her shoes at the side. And guess what, she slips her tiny feet into a "big" pair of shoes and asked us to see.

I am not too sure if I am setting a "good" example to you by wearing makeup, high heels, etc... but I think it's normal. Cos she will eventually grow up to be a pretty young lady.

A Trip to Marina South Pier

I am not too sure if anyone know this place. But me a "mountain tortoise" came down to this place without knowing that this pier is actually to replace the old Clifford pier when it ceased its operations since 1 April 2006.

It's another option for people who like to go to Marina South area. Other than the usual steamboat BBQ, we can choose to go for foodcourt at the 2nd level or step on board at Santa Fe All American Tex Mex Grill... (that's the ship on the picture.. first one on the right). Nice environment with friendly people on board. It's a different experience to sit in a ship and have your meal. Great!!!

As for the next 2 smaller pictures on thhe right, it shows the boat that ferries tourists and even locals to different islands - Kusu island, St John island, etc.. It's really a wonderful experience to be there and see a different side of Marina South.

How to get there?? Take a look at the next picture below....

Monkey business??? At home....

This is just another showcase of funny pictures. Are we up to any monkey business?? Nope... we are just trying to pose like one.... haha...

I think we are a crazy family. Posing as shrek for 1 picture and now MONKEYS!!! We just want to have a good laugh after a day of hard work. I have been trying to compile all the photos that we took in the handphone but it seems impossible cos we are forever taking photos.

Even my Angeline is interested in taking photos using our handphone. Everytime she gets hold of our phones, she will start posing herself in front of the camrera. Otherwise she will pass it to us and wait for us to take it for her.

Sentosa Cove

Sentosa Cove ~ a luxury lifestyle.

What will you see at Sentosa Cove - yacht, water, country club, beautiful houses!!!

This is a nice island which lots of interesting places. Lots of new things happening in this small island. With the upcoming integrated resort (IR), I am sure this will be the next happening place to hang out.

Anyone know when is the IR opening? 2009 or 2010???

A Memorable Day - 25 Aug 07

This is a very memorable day. This is the day we sent my grandfather-in-law off - his last journey on earth.

It was a busy day so when I was in the bus travelling from one place to another place, I felt so bored and sleepy (I was awake from 5am!!!). Instead of falling asleep in the bus, I decided to make full use of the time to take some pictures.

Candid photos of my 2 darlings!

These are candid pictures of my 2 darlings - Andy and Angeline..... Can u recognise who who??


This is my Darling No. 1 ~ Andy.....

This is my Darling No. 2 ~ Angeline......

That's another picture of my Darling No. 2...... does she look like a rabbit?

Happy Birthday Daddy!

It's Daddy's 31 st birthday. We celebrated this special day with a small cake. Oops...sorry. Anyway it's just a small family event. But looking at the pictures, I think Daddy is not the one celebrating the birthday but the little girl ~ Angeline Ho that is stealing the limelight from Daddy....

I got a new Sony Ericsson phone

Thanks to Reader's Digest contest, my son got a S$100 voucher from Singtel and a 6 month subscription free with any plan. I think the contest is about family so my son sent in a picture of her little sister and he won the prize!!! :)

This is the winning picture:



So we went to Hello @ Takashimaya on 12 August 2007 to make full use of the vouchers. My son got a student plan but he's using my phone cos I don't want him to have a new phone. He's only a student and I don't think a new phone is advisable if he's bringing it to school everyday.

I used the discount voucher to get myself a new phone - Sony Ericsson W660i. Nice and sleek phone! I love it very much.

After getting the phone, I immediately took some photos with the phone! Clear... Very clear!

New Environment

I have worked for my current company for more than 1 month, I have been visiting clients all over the island.

I took some photos of some interesting places that I have visited during my 1 month of walking around....

I took this picture when I was travelling around ECP. I was on my way to Singapore Indoor Stadium.

This biggest ferris wheel, The Singapore Flyer, is the biggest you can find in Singapore and it will be completed in March 2008. Located in Marina Bay, you will be able to see Singapore city, from Changi Airport to Sentosa Island and also parts of Malaysia and Indonesia when you are at the top. Breathtaking view!!

The following pictures are taken when I was on my way to meet my client at Robertson Quay. Everytime I see this bridge when travelling in a car, I always wanted to take a closer look at this bridge. Colorful bridge really catches my attention.

This Alkaff Bridge was painted in vibrant colors by a Filippino artist Pacita Abadand and a team of rope specialists. This team used 52 different colors and more than 900 litres of industrial strength paint to turn a normal looking bridge into a colorful structure.

The next place has something to do with Singapore history. Located in Telok Ayer Street, Thian Hock Keng Temple is one of the oldest temple in Singapore.



This temple was erected in 1821 and it was a main point of dismbarkation for the early Chinese immigrants. These immigrants then offered their prayers of thanks to the main deity of the temple - Ma Cho Po (Mother of the Heavenly Sages) for protecting them during the sea journeys.

The next location is all about fun, sun and sand - Siloso Beach! I went there for a walk after an appointment at Underwater World in Sentosa! I haven't been to Underwater World before. Trust me, it's worth the money to go there for an interactive time with the fishes. You can even have your "pedicure" done by fishes for a reasonable amount. I even know that these fishes are called "Garra Rufa".


I haven't been to a beach for a long long time. I really enjoy every moment on the beach - the breeze, the sound of waves, the wind and the sand. A nice way to end a day of running around the city.

After leaving Sentosa before it turns dark, I passed by the latest shopping centre - Vivocity. I wonder if it's there for a reason. Maybe it's because of the next upcoming thing in Singapre - IR. If you have shop at Vivocity before, you will understand what I mean. All the shops are of high end brands. You know what I mean?

Jokes on a BORING Wednesday!

Here are some jokes to make ourselves happy today... it's Wednesday. 2 days have passed but we have to stay on for another 2 days to WEEKEND!

My Sleepy Girl....Angeline

This is to show the different views of my girl when she is sleepy :O

I wonder how a baby can have so many expressions... yawn, eyes close, tiredness and also a must when she wants to sleep - her pillow!

Monday Night

It's a normal Monday night but my girl is having her own photo shoot at home. She is so hyperactive tonight. Maybe she had a 'happening' weekend, out for both days.

She is so excited whenever she sees the flash light. She will start jumping around to see her pictures on the phone.

So vain right? And when you ask "where's the pretty girl?" she will point to herself. :)

SHREK!

I believe everyone has watched Shrek in cinema. Here we have our own Shrek family in Woodlands.

A Visit to NorhtEast Zone - Sengkang or Punggol

Over the weekend, we went to our friend's place to celebrate his baby girl's full month party and it's also a catch up session for the men who are buddies since school days.

Time flies.. It's Jason's 2nd kid. The girl is so cute! Big round eyes looking around when you carried her. So small compared to my mei mei... haha... surprise to both Regi and myself, she is not jealous ove this baby when I carried her. She wanted to "sayang" the baby too. :)

So cute seeing one baby touching the other baby...

After the party, we went shopping at Compass Point - first time to this place. Big shopping centre with lots of varieties. Great! There were having some toy fair at the atrium so Regi managed to get one Spider man toy. He's so happy :D

We bought some office attires at G2000 and had coffee at Starbucks. Quite relaxing for a weekend cos we hardly come out without having someone throwing his tantrums :P

Took some pictures too ~

A Trip to IKEA Tampines

On Saturday afternoon, Regi and I went down to IKEA Tampines to get some shelves for our kitchen and his "growing" collection of toys.

Of cos, when we were there, we won't forget to get some food. We had the usual favorites - meatballs and chicken wings. It's a wonderful feeling to eat in peace cos we went there without the kids. Haha...

We decided on 2 shelves - one for the kitchen (as planned) and one for his toy (which I regretted not getting one more for myself now)...... We planned to share the shelf but from the way he is organising his toys now.. I doubt I will have any space in the end :(

Look at the shelf now.... psst.. it's 3am now and my dear Regi is still unpacking his toys from the boxes. And PLEASE.... it's only 50% of his collection!!!!!!!

Can you imagine if he pick up all the rest of his collection from his mother's place??? I dun think another shelf will be enough for him lor...

Re-decorate my Living Room

On Friday night, my hubby and I decided to 're-decorate' our living room to suit our lifestyle and his growing collection of toys.

So we moved the dining table back to the old dining corner instead of putting it in the "dining room" so that we can fully utilised the room. So we moved away my girl's toys temporary (which I realised that she has too many toys) away to create more space for the movement for the other furnitures.

And we spent the whole night moving the sofa, TV console, dining table, coffee table, etc.... All together, we spent 3.5hours getting the right things at the right place with the help of my mum.

And the after effect.....

That's my dining table on the left, then my girl's play mat (excluding her toys) and the rest of my furniture. Right at the end of the living room is the balcony full of animals. Haha...there are 2 fish tanks and 3 cages of hamsters!!

Wow... the hamsters are growing in terms of numbers. We bought 2 hamsters and it gave birth to 10 hamsters in two batches. Now the first batch of the children gave birth to 4 little ones this evening.

A Day as Model

Last Friday, I helped my company to pose as model for our magazine. Though it was tiring but it was fun and I got paid for my service as the model. Nothing grand or fanciful. We are featuring some jewellery in our catalogue and magazine.

Let me share my favourite shots from the sessions..... psst... that's before the touch up. So pls bear with the horrible pictures, ok? I will show the effect of computer too.. that's after touch up. OMG.. I look so different!

That's me before computer touch up.

Any comments on these pictures? Actually after looking at these pics then I realised I aged so much since the arrival of my girl. I look at least 35 years old. Sucks, right? Even my hubby agrees that I look old in picture and real person.... Thanks, dear. I appreciate your comment.


What to do? Gave birth to 2 children already. Lucky me, have yet to turn yellow..... huang lian po!!

But under the hands of my Creative Team.... my eye bags, dark circles, wrinkles, etc.... are missing. Maybe I should pass the post "operation" pics to a plastic surgeon and asked for the same face.


Pls take a look and spot the differences.





Somehow I feel that the pictures after touch up and modification doesn't look like me at all... :( I think I still prefer what I see in the mirror every morning. Sigh... sigh... Woman!
