Joy (J's) and Bane (mine)

We bought a tricycle for J. While he looks overjoyed riding it, he actually preferred a Winnie-the-Pooh version of it in the shop and refused to get up :( Then the one with Disney characters was snapped up by another customer during J's tantrum. In the end we had to order one but it was not in good condition when I picked it up :( How challenging can it be to buy a tricycle??? Eventually, one was delivered to us and J is a happy customer.

The bane for me is that each morning he requests to go on a ride. Since he's an early bird, we are out around 7 am! I feel like he's my personal trainer in charge of my morning exercise routine... a reward on the 3rd day of this new regime is that we saw a rainbow!

My First Mother's Day present :)

The Milk Front

I am pleased to share that my milk supply is finally meeting J's needs!!! YEAH!! :)

But, all men are greedy and I am starting to think about freezing excess milk (where available) so he gets breastfeed for longer than 6 months. NN mentioned that supply tends to fall after returning to work and I am hoping that this will not be the case... either way, good to start banking some milk now! :P

A mega candle

Today is my birthday!


Nothing out of the ordinary... except this is the first time I am working on my birthday. Have been planning for a few trips so not much leave to spare... in any case, I will be bumming in Cambodia this time tmr =)

The morning was uneventful, some firefighting to sort work out before I go on leave... Had an early lunch with KC and PS. Upon my return, I found my colleagues outside the office and was warned not to enter cos there was a 'fire'! The office smelled horrible and after hanging around for a while (during which I briefed CC on some analysis), I decided to head for home since G was on leave. PY was leaving at the same time with his precious toy collection!

Thanks to my friends and colleagues, I enjoyed the food at Sakuraya Fish Market, Spruce, Cedele, Asaki, Valentinos.... am now waiting for the 'delivery' of my new running shoes and this is my present from G:

Happy thoughts are ....

a surprise bouquet from G


a new arrangement



and the trip to Sabah in a few hours time! =)

Yippee!! A new toy!

My new toy is the Canon EOS 500D that I have been eyeing for some time. We got it today, the first weekend of G's freedom from CFA =) This shall be my advance birthday present!

And this is the first shot of it:

p.s.: Alan Photo at Funan is a good place if you are thinking of getting a new camera. The price is reasonable considering I had researched a number of places beforehand. PS helped too. Thanks gal!

Feeling good...

... cos I made these! Gave one bouquet to a friend and the other to my MIL =)
Am experimenting now to make the corsages for a friend's wedding coming up on 21 June. Will upload the pics once they are readY!

Presents!

My hubby told me he had a surprise for me and this was it! He chanced upon a stall selling Levi's tees and bought himself and me one each. Isn't it sweet of him?

His had a cute potato and tagline of "I am a couch potato". He hasn't been out of the house much so no chance for him to wear and snap a picture yet... hibernation to study for CFA ends this Sunday!

I also bought hubby a "present" cos he really should wear a watch but if he doesn't like/want it, I will have it for myself! Haha!
