Badminton
During the fasting month, the open podium downstair became a very quiet space. No children chasing after the football and no children cycling around. We still played a few games of badmintons but as the Malay boys who played with us do not come & play. Our sessions became fewer and also because of the 7th month festival, I decided for Anthea not to play too often..hee : P
Now that the fasting month is over, the children are all back in action. Last evening, Anthea had good fun playing the game. She came home and told me she really enjoy her games with the boys.
Comes next year, she will have the chance to take a CCA and I believe she will like to join the Badminton team. This game is a family game and I hope our children will carry on this great tradition.
Temp Job
I am currently doing a temporary reception job with a MNC. The pay is considered very low and I got reprimanded by my eldest brother for accepting the job & spoiling the job market …hee.
Anyway, I told him it’s just a temporary job and once I get a better offer, I will surely make the change.
I am a very active person and enjoy working. I cannot sit at home and do nothing, it just make me feel like I am wasting my life away. Now the workplace is in Raffles Place, i can really feel the energy level in the morning..hee : )
Though the monies earned are little compared to my previous Part Time but at least, I am still earning my worth and Chinese say: “积少成多”…: )
Also it’s still a ½ day morning job which really meets my current needs. So I will just pray hard for a better opportunity!

月饼之爱
A week ago, my ex-ex colleagues sent me an email and informed me that the annual mooncakes sales will be happening on Fridays, 25 September & 1 October 2009.
Different vendors would be at the office premise to sell the mooncakes at staff special. Of course, my target is Raffles Hotel Mooncakes. We had been buying the hotel’s mooncakes for my parents for the last few years and they enjoyed it. Also Adrian likes their snowskin mooncake.
Today morning at around 10.30am, I made my way to the office to meet with them for our “shopping spree”..hee.
As expected there was a LONG Q for Raffles hotel mooncake and luckily, my colleagues had gone to Q earlier.
I bought a box of baked mooncake with pine nuts, macadamia nuts & white lotus, a box of Pearl mooncake with single yolk & white lotus paste. And together with my colleagues, we shared the famous snowskin mooncake with champagne truffle & ganache, mocha truffle and dark chocolate crunchy pearl.
I gave a box of baked mooncake to my parents with a mixture of lotus paste & the single yolk. I know they would love the taste of the different mix.

I am so thankful to my ex-colleagues for keeping me in mind and keeping me in the loop as and when there are such special offers : ) 感恩 ！
In the morning, I had the chance to go by Takashimaya to do some interviews with the job agency. Knowing that there is a mooncake event at the event hall, I went by and bought some of our favorite – 恒香老婆饼。
Now we had the luxury to sample all the delicious mooncake slowly and enjoyed the festival mood of 中秋节。

Hari Raya Holiday Outing @ JBG
Since her school learning journey to Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden a few months back, Anthea had been talking so much about this garden and her strong wish to visit it again.
Since Hari Raya falls on a Sunday and we had no other program, so I told her we can plan a visit to the garden on Sunday, subject to weather. She was very happy and on Saturday, she even called one of her classmates – Aloysius and asked if he would like to join us.
We woke up to a bright & sunny Sunday morning. After a good breakfast, Anthea called Aloysius and checked if he would be going with us. She was very happy when Aloysius’s parents allowed him to join us for the outing.
On our way to the garden, we went by to Aloysius’s place and picked him up. We reached the garden around 10.45am and the weather was good.
Both Anthea and Aloysius knew their way around very well and they played “Guide” to us..hehe. We walked around the garden and saw many interesting plants and different species of trees.
Then we reached the Tree House and the children had fun playing the slide. After playing at the tree house slide, we had a short refreshment break. I brought along biscuits and bread for the children.
After re-charging, we continued to explore the garden. When we reached the A-maze-ing Play area, the children had so much fun running in & out of the maze and Adrian was busy chasing them…haha.
Our last stop was the Four sided blocks and the children had the chance to try out using different woods to create ‘music’.
Our tour of the garden ended at 12.15pm. It had been a very wonderful outing & playtime for the children.
Then we headed back to AMK HUB for lunch. The children had requested to have Subways Sandwiches. Adrian commented that this generation are into Subways and no wonder there are more and more outlets coming out…hee. So shall we call them Generation-SUBs…: P
Then we went home to bath and changed. Aloysius came along to our home and had fun time playing all the different games that Anthea & Anders had. His parents came by to fetch him around 5pm..
Then we had dinner with our extended families before calling it a day.

Cohesion Day Event & 便当前面的故事
Friday was cohesion day for Adrian’s company and the company had organized a morning walk session at Telok Blangah Hill. As it was also an off day for Anthea as her school was closed for PSLE comprehension. So we decided to join Adrian for his morning walk.
It was the 1st time that we were at this famous hill. We arrived at around 9.30am for the registration. Then we went up to the meeting point. Adrian showed us the famous Henderson wave and according to the site – it is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore and it connects the 2 hills of Mouth Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.
Then around 10am after his officer had a short brief with the men, the walk commenced. It was a 4.8km walk that covered the Hilltop & forest walk.
Anthea and myself joined in the walk and it was a very good morning exercise for both of us. We truly enjoyed the scenery and the fresh air.

Anthea and myself joined in the walk and it was a very good morning exercise for both of us. We truly enjoyed the scenery and the fresh air.
The walk ended around 11 am and the group adjourned to Harbour Front city for lunch. As lunch was optional, we decided not to join them. Instead we headed to Mouth Faber Safra for a swim. I had packed along our swimming gears.
We reached Safra around 11.30am and there was a Mooncake road show at the clubhouse. I had received an SMS a day before and knew of this moon cake road show. Raffles hotel was one of the participating hotel but they were only scheduled to be there on 19 September 2009, so we had no chance to sample their moon cakes.
Goodwood park hotel was at the road show and we sampled their signature D24 durian snow skin moon cake and it was really YUMMY!!
After sampling, we went for our swim and Adrian went to the gym. We had ½ hour of good swim and then showered and changed for lunch. I had heard good feedback of the Japanese restaurant from The Chiah Family and decided to give it a try. Adrian ordered the Sushi set, I ordered the daily special and Anthea ordered the child meal and we had a very filling meal. SAFRA card get discount on the ala carte menu.
Before leaving the clubhouse, we bought the Good Park Hotel moon cake home. Anthea likes the Mango with pomelo while I love the durian, so we bought one of each. These moon cakes will be our after meal dessert for the next few days as the sale person said we need to eat them up in 3 days…: P

This is a booked written by a blogging friend – Angie. I started following Angie’s blog few years back. She had another Chinese blog named - Obasan & Ajuma. This blog is co-written with her very good friend – Happy pig. I truly enjoyed this Chinese blog as it was a blog that really shared with readers their 酸甜苦辣。 And the episode on “西游记“leaves a very deep impression in my mind. Till now when I remembered the blog, it still send a smile to my face.

Angie’s family blog on Kinigu is also my daily MUST READ blog. I believe it’s the way that both Angie and Clement writes and their photographs that bring many of us to their blog.
Angie is very expression in her words and her feelings are always very genuine. I had never felt any hidden agendas in her blogs. I really admired her for her courage and free form of writings.
So when she decided to write a book, I was really happy and looking forward to the published of her book.
Finally today – 19 September 2009, I found it on the book shelves of Popular Bookstore. Prior to this, we were advised that the book is out at Kinokuniya but being a typical Aunty, I waited for the books to be out at Popular because can get membership discount..hehe.
Now I have the book, it will be my readings “mate” for the next few days and I know I will draw great inspirations of life from Angie’s book.

Routine & DSLR
On Tuesday, it was my 1st day as a FTSAHM. The 1st thing I did after sending Anders to childcare was I headed for the swimming pool for my 10 laps morning swim. It was a very refreshing swim and the pool was very quiet, unlike the usual Sunday crowd.
On Wednesday, I went to Fitness First @ AMK HUB. Adrian had recently signed up for the gym membership and in return, they gave him some FREE Guest passes. After studying the aerobic class’s schedule, I decided to do the Wednesday 10.15am class. I went to the gym around 9.30am and did some of the usual gym workout.
At 10.10am, I waited outside of the studio for the earlier lesson to end. Once it ended, most of the people rushed in and the class was overcrowded. A few gym members kept telling me that there was not enough space for my step board. So in the end, I had no choice but to forego the class and left.
I was really surprised to see the class to be so “packed” during such “off peak” hours. Guess now people are getting more & more in GYM…haha. Even the HDB “Tai-tai” do the same..: P
Today is my 3rd day and I did my usual household chores in the morning. Then in the afternoon went to buy lunch for Anthea before fetching her.
The new routine is now more relaxing and no more “mad lunch time rush”. I am also enjoying my gym workout and swimming sessions. I will enjoy them as long as I can and meanwhile, I am still looking for a Part Time job diligently.
DSLR
I had seen many blogging parents taking very nice photographs of their children and blogging them. I had always wanted to get such a camera but had some consideration, so till now, I am still faithfully using my Panasonic Lumix F10.
Recently my BIL bought a new DSLR camera and took a few photos of the children. The pictures are really sharp and capture the expression so much better than the normal camera. So now I am very tempted and wonder if I should invest in one?
I must start doing my homework before I make the final decision as Adrian had said “you are the only one using it, so must make sure it does not become another “white elephant”.
So my dear blogging friends, what is your opinion of such a camera and what is a good model to consider for an “amateur photographer”…hee.

K.I.C & OMNIA B7320
Anders childcare had their K.I.C (kids-in-charge) event on Saturday, 12 September. This year the event was held at Toa Payoh Garden and it was a combined event of a few centers.
The event was scheduled from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm. In the morning we fetched Anthea to Tien Hsia for her class and then proceeded to the Garden with Anders.
When we arrived there around 9.30am, most of the teachers/principals were there preparing the different corners for the event. There were story telling corners, games corner and handicraft corners.
We went to the registration area to register and pick up our goody bag. Then I brought Anders around while Adrian looked after the goodies…hee : P
We played the 1st round of game at the stick area. As we were playing under the scorching sun, Anders kept complaining that it was very HOT!
In the end, we had no choice but to return to the “waiting station” where Adrian was waiting for us.
In the end, we left around 10 am and brought Anders to Toa Payoh HUB for a haircut.
Compared to the previous KIC event, I would say the previous one was closer to the theme and we had enjoyed it more. But still the overall effort for this year event is commendable.
Samsung Omnia B7320
My current mobile contract is due for renewal and these few days, I had been going around making enquiries on all the different mobile phones and their current promotion.
Finally, I shortlisted Nokia E63 but when I was at a SingTel exclusive shop, they were out of stock for the mobile phones. So the sales person started “selling” me another model – Samsung Omnia B7230. This was one of the phones I was considering while making enquiries. After a few persuasions by the sale person – I was bought over and ended buying this mobile phone.
At the same time, I bought a prepaid SIM card for Anthea. As she has been going to the tuition centre on her own and making calls from the public phone to report her “arrival” at the centre. So I thought I can pass my old phone to her and let her use it on those tuition days.

A New Role & GOWN
My reporting Managing is now seconded to the USA office and he will be working in the office for about 3 month’s time.
On Tuesday, we had a quick chat about my contract and he confirmed that he would not be renewing my contract for the few months that he’s away from Singapore. He said that he will re-hire me when he’s back in Singapore and he communicated this to the HR.
So from next Tuesday onward, I will officially become a FTSAHM (Full Time stay at home mom)…hee : P
I had the chance to be a FTSAHM after I gave birth to Anders and at the same time I used the time to guide Siti as she just started worked with us.
Now I have another opportunity to experience that feeling again, only this time, no newborn and maid to look after…hehe.
Well, of course, I know things may take a different turn and whether my Manager will return to Singapore is still a BIG Question mark. I am now looking out for any new Part Time Opportunities, just in case.
Online jobs advertisements are my daily readings and I will write in as and when something suitable turns out.
Adrian is back in Singapore and has been attending some pre-course briefing for his upcoming course.
On Tuesday evening after the brief, he came home and told me: “dear, you need to get a GOWN.”
I was so shocked and surprised at his remark and asked him WHY. He said “for the course graduation, there will be a formal dinner. You will need to put on my new rank for me. Also there will be a military dinner which he claimed was fit for King & Queen.” So that’s why I need to get an evening gown.
The last time I wore a GOWN was at my wedding and it’s almost 10 years ago..haha.
Now I must start to shop around and see if anything suitable for the occasion. Also I told Adrian since I am now jobless; it will be a good opportunity to lose some weight so I can fit nicely into an evening gown.

Anthea's PTC & School's OUT!
This morning I went for Anthea’s school Parent-teacher-conference. My meet up time with her form teacher was scheduled at 8.45am.
We fetched Anders to his childcare around 8.30am before proceeding to Anthea’s school for the appointment.
We reached her class around 8.45 am and waited a while before our turn. Mrs. Koh, her form teacher, went through her topical tests with me and said that she was happy with Anthea’s result and her overall performance in class. She did gave me a few pointers on her weaker area and I know this coming 1 week school holiday will be a good chance to “brush up” on the weaker area.. : P
After the Parent’s teacher conference, we went to the school canteen for a quick “recess” and Anthea ordered toasted bread with a cup of tea.
Then after the break, I brought her to my parent’s place before heading to work.
My current contract will be ending on 14 September and my Manager is now working from USA office, so I am not sure if my contract will be extended since he’s not around. Anyway, I am doing my “homework” by looking at jobs ads and see if there is any Part Time opportunities, just in case.
In the evening, we had dinner around the Hub as I needed to restring one of the badminton rackets. Then we went to Popular book shop, my intention was to buy Angie’s book but I guess I was a bit ahead of the “Full month” celebration. The book was not on sale yet at Popular.
So I took the chance to buy assessment book for Anthea in preparation for her year end SA2. Also I had been recommended to this book titled “Geronimo Stilton” by my ex-colleague. She said that it was a very interesting book for primary children. I decided to buy one for Anthea to let her try reading the book. I hope she will like it.
Today is the last day of school day and next week, Anthea will be having her one week term break. Looking forward to another good break.

Buffet Lunch @ Plaza Market Café & Daddy's HomeComing
Today is Teacher’s Day and Primary schools are closed for the day and Anders childcare was also closed.
So I took time off to take care of both of them at home. Last night I was making plan of where to bring them to?
Both anthea and Anders had been requesting to eat Buffet; they seem to enjoy the part where they can take their own food freely…hee.
With this in mind, I called my MIL last evening and asked if she has any buffet vouchers available for use. My MIL renewed her Raffles Feed membership and besides getting the free nights stay, there are also many meals vouchers.
She readily agreed to let us have the Fairmont Complimentary Buffet Lunch @Plaza Market Café. Immediately I called and make reservation for 3 of us for today’s lunch.
Today, we made our way to the hotel around 11.30am. The children were delighted when I told them that we were going Fairmont for buffet lunch. Yes, I kept it from them till we were at the MRT…haha.
We arrived at Plaza Café around 12noon and were ushered to our seats by the hostess. Coincidentally, we met my MIL’s 2nd sister – Aunty SK. She was with her colleagues at the café celebrating Teacher’s Day. She is a Principal of a secondary school.
Both Anthea and Anders were very excited and kept saying they wanted to take their food. Anthea is very independent at buffet and she helped herself to all the different dishes while I helped Anders to take his pick.
After settling the children, I went around to pick my own dishes. There were as few sections – Nyonya, Indian and Chinese dishes. The nyonya dishes were simply delicious and tasty.
The stir fry counter had also a few very nice dishes like stir fry beef, Prawns and steam fish…yummy!!
Both Anthea and Anders had a great time at the dessert counter especially with the ICE-CREAM.
I had a good cup of coffee with the nyonya kuehs and they were such good combination to complete the lunch.
After a very satisfying buffet, we went to Robinson to walk around. We saw some play dough and I bought it for them. Anthea had enjoyed playing with Play Dough since she played with her niece.
Then we left for home and the children had their power nap.
In the afternoon, while we were on our way to the MRT, I received an SMS from Adrian. He confirmed that he will be coming home this Sunday. He was original scheduled to arrive on Thursday but his officer had allowed him to return a few days earlier to prepare for his course.
Well, it’s good news to us – this means we will get to see him a few days earlier than original. Daddy will be home soon…

Today, we made our way to the hotel around 11.30am. The children were delighted when I told them that we were going Fairmont for buffet lunch. Yes, I kept it from them till we were at the MRT…haha.
We arrived at Plaza Café around 12noon and were ushered to our seats by the hostess. Coincidentally, we met my MIL’s 2nd sister – Aunty SK. She was with her colleagues at the café celebrating Teacher’s Day. She is a Principal of a secondary school.
Both Anthea and Anders were very excited and kept saying they wanted to take their food. Anthea is very independent at buffet and she helped herself to all the different dishes while I helped Anders to take his pick.
After settling the children, I went around to pick my own dishes. There were as few sections – Nyonya, Indian and Chinese dishes. The nyonya dishes were simply delicious and tasty.
The stir fry counter had also a few very nice dishes like stir fry beef, Prawns and steam fish…yummy!!
Both Anthea and Anders had a great time at the dessert counter especially with the ICE-CREAM.
I had a good cup of coffee with the nyonya kuehs and they were such good combination to complete the lunch.
After a very satisfying buffet, we went to Robinson to walk around. We saw some play dough and I bought it for them. Anthea had enjoyed playing with Play Dough since she played with her niece.
Then we left for home and the children had their power nap.
In the afternoon, while we were on our way to the MRT, I received an SMS from Adrian. He confirmed that he will be coming home this Sunday. He was original scheduled to arrive on Thursday but his officer had allowed him to return a few days earlier to prepare for his course.
Well, it’s good news to us – this means we will get to see him a few days earlier than original. Daddy will be home soon…
