Boring SatToday is a boring day. But also lazy to go out. As usual, a few families came for viewing. Mostly Indians. Din hear much comments from them. But a number of them seems to like our spacious walk-in wardrobe. We have a few buyers who are interested but the price are not to our expectations.
1 more Sat to go and I be back in my office answering phonecalls!! And Wendy will be off to Australia. So funny, both of us going through major changes at the same time, especially for her. Sure going to miss her, cos we have been quite close ever since we partnered each other last year. Going to miss the happy and fun times when we were wrapping up the things to send out to customers, mailing them out and doing deliveries. From zero, we both learn how to start a small scale business and managing it. Both of us enjoy this process very much though we din really earn a lot from it. But now, our name in the forum is sort of establish makes us feel that all is worth it.

Good newsA good friend called and asked me for my gynae telephone number. I was so happy for them when I heard abt the news. Hee.... Jenelle goin to have another playmate soon....
After giving birth to Jenelle, I feel that having a child of yr own is like receiving a priceless gift from god. You really need to experience it to understand this special feeling.

How tall am I?Measured Jenelle's height today. Her height is 79cm now. Then Daddy say, wa, Jenelle is more than half of mummy's height already!!! Then I was thinking, yah hor....!!
Learning to speakWhen I draw an apple, she will point to it and say "apple!" She also knows how to say "car car", "star star" and "flower" when I draw the pictures for her. She knows how to listen to instructions now. I was packing some parcels to send out, so I ask Jenelle to pass the parcel one by one to my maid. I was surprised she understood my instructions! So now every time she finished her milk, I will ask her to pass the milk bottle to my maid and she did!! She will walk to the door and shout "kaka kaka." When she is hungry, she will also go to the door and shout "kaka nang nang!" Every morning, when she want to watch Barney, she will point to the TV and say "bar bey." Cos she still don't know how to pronounce "ney." : P

InterviewWent back CPF for interview today. The interview is at 2.45pm but I reach there around 12.24pm to have lunch with my ex cum colleagues-to-be. While waiting for my turn, I saw quite a number of candidates waiting to be interviewed. 1 of them said he has waited for an hour!!! I knew I have to wait for quite some time, so I went to look for Cheryl. Wa, her office (at 37th floor) has a superb view of the sea!! But she said, she's going to move soon, so no more sea view. After that, I continue to wait for my turn for the interview. 1 of the candidate intro himself and all of us started to chit chat. When they all learn that I used to work here, they all started to interview me... ha ha ha... so funny, but its good to share with them. At least they can be mentally prepared. Finally, after an hour of wait, its my turn. Mr Ng and another HR Manager interviewed me. It doesn't seems like an interview session, more like a chit chat session. We even chat about one of the CSO, Mabel, who participated in the Super Mummy competition on Ch8. Lastly, Mr Ng asked when can I start work, so I told him 8th Sep because I need to settle down my girl first. And the whole interview only lasted 10 mins.

Farewell dinner at Seoul GardenWe organised a farewell dinner for Wendy as she be going Australia. Her hubby is posted to Sydney so she and her 2 kids will be going there as well. We had dinner at Seoul Garden Tampines mall. Its nice to catch up and chit chat once in a while, had so many things to chat and update each other. We laughed so loudly, think the table beside us must be quite irritated. :p

First overseas tripWent Genting over the weekend with Jenelle, hubby, my parents, my brother and maid. The trip was fun but the journey was not. Though we took the Five Star Executive Coach, the 7 hours journey in the bus was quite tiring. Luckily, on our way to Genting, Jenelle slept most of the time. Maybe because she was forced to wake up very early. On the way back, she also slept but not as much. Overall, not as bad as I have imagine. But for me, I had motion sickness on the way back. Felt so terrible, but luckily din throw up. (remind me of my morning sickness when I'm pregnant with Jenelle) We all had an enjoyable time going to casino, arcades, bowling centre and the movie theatre. We watched Wall.E. The show was quite nice and cute. And each movie ticket only cost abt S$7 with a free drink, popcorn and a packet of biscuit!!! We also spent S$45 in the arcade until all of us were shacked and sweaty!! With the tickets, we exchange 2 soft toys for Jenelle.

How much?Our house valuation report is out!! My housing agent called and told me that our valuation is at $390k!! Wow, its considered quite high because we are in the mid floor. Initially, I am still worried if our asking price of $415k is too high, but now, its considered reasonable. Hopefully, we are able to get a buyer soon.

Horrifying Accident!Received a shocking news from my friend via sms. Alvin and Edna had met with an accident on Friday!! Both of them are quite seriously injured. So Pauline, Xuehong and I went to visit them at NUH. Edna need to have a few operations as she suffered multiple fractures. Alvin's injuries not as serious but his finger need to be operated. Edna has to lie on bed cos she fractured her hip bone. Alvin is able to move around but with difficulty. Alvin told us the cab hit his car on the side and drag his car until it hit the lamp post!! Soooo scary!! Luckily both of them alright now. Can imagine the trauma they went through. Makes me think of the accident we had in April. Though we only suffered minor injury but the impact when the van hit our car (causing the rear window to shatter and the back of the car dented) still remains vividly in my mind. Thank god, everyone is alright now.

Your baby can read VCDI bought the starter VCD during the Motherhood Fair at Expo some time back. So have been letting Jenelle watch the VCD since then. It really helps in her vocabulary. She now knows to point to her nose, mouth, etc. She normally watches her Barney VCD and "Your baby can read" VCD. She is soooooo familiar with the VCDs that she knew when the show is GOING to end soon. She will shout and point at the TV so that you will restart it for her. She now knows how to read the word "dog". Way to go, darling!!

FurbyThis afternoon, my dog bite my auntie while she is trying to stroke him on his head. He bite for quite a while before he let go. Everyone was stunned. My hubby was carrying him then. My auntie brought her friends to take a look at Furby because they are interested to adopt him. We have been pondering whether to give him to someone we know, so that we can still go and visit him or to bring him to SPCA. We are planning to sell our house and then shift to my mum's place. My mum is strongly against the idea of keeping dogs. Hence, we have to give him away, in the event the house is sold. My dog was very obedient before Jenelle was born. All our attention shifted to Jenelle, which is the main reason why he became like this. Come to think of it, its our fault also. After much thought, we have decided to send him to SPCA if we shift to my mum place. I feel sooooo bad that my auntie got hurt. Hope that her wounds are not serious.
