Jayden's First Bday Bash!

cun believe time gets by so fast. a year has gone, almost in a blink of an eye. and my dahling nephew jayden is a year old! already! which means yours truly isnt getting any younger. sighz. anyway. the celebration at sis' place. lotsa relatives. lotsa kids running around. major chaos. but it was fun. seeing ppl u wun get to see except during cny. and realising for a fact that your threshold for noise aka screaming, bawling and crying have actually increased. and ya, getting to decorate the place up for your dahling nephew's party. although the banner was done like a day before (cos i had fallen sick right before his bday), i think its pretty cute.

Grabbing the bday boy for photos before the crowd comes in. hehe.

goodies for the kids! even the big kids like me!

barney in the form of a huge creamy cake. its really really creamy. anyway, i shd have taken a pic of wats left after the party. just the head. its darn funny.

cake cutting! it was kinda cute to gather all the kids for photo taking with their masks on. hehe. and the second pic of jayden is supeerr adorable lor! with his little feet on the table and trying to cut the cake! and how he looked like he really knew that he shd blow his bday candle! seriously so cute (i) can die! ok i noe, im over doing it abit but my jayden is really very cute wat :p

pics taken with family and relatives, and wat could possibly be my favouritest kids in the world.

you probably wun understand this now but,

Happy Bday, Jayden! Muackks!

Merry X'Mas?

wooh, this year's x'mas is really something different.

i spent it sitting around in a hospital.

specifically, i spent the morning sitting around in a children's hospital.

both my nephew and niece had viral infection. their mum had quite a bad flu and the dad had a mild case of food poisoning. my mum was on the verge of falling sick as well. (i felt so vulnerable all of a sudden.) the little ones were vomitting so badly they went frail to the point of such a state i couldnt even bear to say the word. sis was naturally so worried she tot its best to go to the hospital. and i, being the only physically fit, was awoken at 3am and dragged to the hospital, half-conscious and totally dishevelled.

the whole visit took abt 4 hrs and both of them are fine now. in fact, it seems that i was hit worst, needing rest till 3pm and having to cancel a lunch date. so there, my x'mas for 2007. how wonderful.

Preps for X'Mas 2007

i've been dying to post pics of x'mas gifts i made this year for frens and loved ones even before the party on sat but couldnt cos its supposed to be a *duh* surprise. anyway the party at vivien's new home was great. (her home is super gorgeous btw.) all 6 of us managed to make time to gather for a celebration, including our ever-busy ms connie tan. heh. shall post pics on the party when i get them.

coming back, gifts I made. (ya, i am assuming the role of a self-indulgent braggart for today.) i remember last year, i was into graphic designing and made some half-assed frames. and ever since i've learnt to dressmake, i've got this crazy urge to sew something. and for all i noe, i'll probably make a stool or table if im into carpentry next year. so as u can tell, im actually gg thru a phase and although each phase doesnt live long, i do believe this one im currently in could last. well, at least till im done with all the fabric i've bought so far. and to speed up tt process, i've found some other use for it.

jasmine says they look good enough to be put on sale. im flattered but i think not. making 12 is just enough to kill me. besides, buttons, laces and ribbons arent exactly cheap. but having said that, i have enjoyed the nites of making each of these, surrounded by fabric, needles, ribbons and threads, and with leslie cheung singing in the background. all i did lack was a rocking chair and a black tomcat sleeping on my lap to qualify as grans. really really.

Too Much Of A Good Is Bad

you noe you're overly reliant on the internet when you google for song lyrics even though you have the album just next to you.

and you noe you're over doing on the read when you find youself abit confounded after having started on a new book.

..... which brings me to conclude that too much of a good is indeed bad.

// stress abt xmas sia.. seriously dun like >=(

// i've finally gathered enough courage to make an apptment for my extraction. guess i wun be having a feast on my bday =(

Nature

Nature took its course

Bintan

will be off to bintan tmr with the family.

NOT looking forward to it. no, not at all.

哥哥 Leslie Cheung

i was letting mum listen to 為你鐘情, not quite able to contain my excitement of having discovered yet another great song by 哥哥. so i was raving to her abt it but she was either uninterested or distracted by the tv, dismissing me with just an 'uh-huh'. -_-ll not quite the response i was expecting. doesnt anyone share my enthusiasm for good ol' music??


so while i was in my room, fully immersed in the charm of his voice, mum came in and gave me these.

OH. MY. GAWD!

all this time i have been searching tirelessly through imeem for his songs, and there in some dustcovered box within my house lies these treasures! cannot believe it lor! anyway, after having listened to 2 of the cds, i told mum that nevermind if she doesnt leave me any money in her will. these cds will do. =)

//oh oh, another song to share!
