How to Answer?

Charlotte: Mummy how did Charmaine mei mei get inside your stomach?

Me: Erm... I will explain to you when you grow older.

Charlotte: Ok.


Can someone teach me how to explain babies-making to my 3 year old child?

Giant Never Fails to "Disappoint" Me

Did you always check through your receipt after each purchase?

Its not a habit of mine actually

but its a "must do" thing when you shop at Giant.

The toyogo drawer was priced at $39.89

but we were charged at $49.89.

Approached the counter staff after checking the receipt

and was told that the promotion was over

and they had forgotten to remove the promotion label.

In a way, we got discount for their mistake

and got refunded.

Well...

it was like the 5th bad experience we had there...

Daddy and Mummy Feeds Me Well...

Charlotte:

Sushi is my favourtie food!

I had sushi after a swim.

Daddy and Mummy really feeds me well. 

Charlotte:

Its pretty obvious in this photo right?

Its Time

Had my gynae yesterday and Charmaine is ready - head down!

Charmaine is 1.9 kg, a little too small hence Dr Chen recommended to eat more protein. Stingy Daddy said to eat egg white as it is high in protein and gotten scolding from Dr Chen. Serve him right! Other meats like chicken, beef or fish are also sources of protien.

Now I have a big headache.

Dr Chen will be away on 4 to 7 October 2010 while Charmaine's EDD is on 13 October 2010. Should I induce on 1 October 2010? I will not want another doctor to deliver Charmaine and I will only feel comfortable in Dr Chen's hands.

Initially I was suggesting to Dr Chen... how about induce on 10 October 2010 (10/10/10)? She smiled and told me she has class in the afternoon and wedding dinner on that day and most importantly, there will be surcharge for delivery on Sundays. But she told me its still possible if I insists. 

Hmm...

Around 1 month more and the only thing I have prepared is the booking of confinement nanny.

Haiz.

I am a Doctor

Charlotte loves this pair of glasses from the Doctor set

and insisted that I took a photo of her

to show her

Day Out at U Petgamart Dog Pool

We used to frequent Pet Movers until our last visit

where we found loads of uncleared dog poo everywhere

and we decided that U Petgamart is much better and cleaner!

Charlotte was initially shocked by a friendly golden retriever

who splashed loads of water on her.

p.s: My mum was also shocked by the amount of water the retriever splashes too!

Koko was waiting for Charlotte to play fetch with her

but Charlotte was pretty much interested with playing with the rubber hose instead.

Kozer, who is never interested in balls, was marking his territory all over.

I think dogs love preggy.

Other than the golden retriever who was so friendly towards me,

a husky sat down quietly beside me

and two JRTs came to play with me.

*puzzled

Poor Daddy had to tend to a little curious girl

(afraid she would be knocked into the pool), 

two dogs and two women.

Everyone was laughing when they saw how authoritative

Charlotte was trying to instruct Koko to fetch the ball in the water and also

how she cried and shouted to Koko demanding that the ball was hers!

I was surprised that Koko does not snatch the ball from Charlotte

which she actually did to me

and I was bitten... a little...

Charlotte's Another Birthday Celebration...

Charlotte celebrated her birthday again 

on Saturday at Angel's house

with a mini buffet prepared by "Ah Yee"

Hello Kitty from Polar Cakes

sponsered by "Wai Po".

Did not manage to find any Tweety Bird Cake.

Lucky grouchy little one made do with it.

No more birthday cakes for her till next year!

Charlotte is THREE

Early in the Friday morning when Charlotte woke up she asked,

"Daddy is today my birthday?"

After dressing up for her childcare, she told me,

"Mummy I am very happy today because it is my birthday today."

Guess that was why she posed for this photo.

Pressies for friends.

Bought 60 stickers for all of them.

Charlotte's 3rd birthday cake!

I remember her...

first cake was from The Patissier,

second cake was Barney from Prima Deli and now

third cake was from Polar Cakes.

Its really an amazing journey to have grow with your little one,

having them grown up that fast,

from not knowing what is birthday,

to know how to blow her own candles,

pose for photographs and even

chose her own birthday cake.

Children are really a bundle of joy at times, really!

Anyway,

Daddy said to order fresh cream than butter cream

though a little more expensive but taste better!

He was right!

Charlotte: "I tot I saw a putty cat, I did, I did, I did saw a putty cat!"

She was so proud and told everyone not to touch her cake!

She looks like a tweety bird does she?

Charlotte with her teachers

Charlotte's best friends were on medical leave.

Wonder if Charlotte felt sad about it...

Wow! She does love to pose...

We pampered the little one by bringing her out to play for the whole day...

At Farm Mart,

posing with tortoises.

This goat scared the shit of out Charlotte!

*hahaha

Rabbits always get food cos Charlotte loves them so...

At Qian Hu...

If only Daddy is half as rich as the owner,

then I will be busy kiao-kah-ing liao.

This sucker amazed me more than anything else.

Ooops...

The bump on my head is way too huge for me to handle!

Love poka dolts?

Love the stingray!

Charlotte's birthday celebration went on and on...

Next was dinner with in-laws!

Entering the BIG THIRTY

Lyn entered the BIG THIRTY on

Sunday, 22 August 2010

but we had a pre-birthday celebration with her last Thursday night

Chix Couple

Noticed the glow..?

It is becos of their recent promotion!

Chix: Wondering what his dearie wife was wishing SO seriously for....

(o_o"")

*stressed

Trying to make sure there was just enough cake for everyone.

Otherwise his tummy will suffer 

esp after our full 8-course meal.

Buay tahan this old Chix!

Forever trying to act cute...

Bestie!

To Chix:

No matter how close up

you take I still glow becos I am pregnant!

*bleah =P

Boring...

No one takes photo with me :(

Happy now...

Dinner was at "E-Sarn Thai Corner" - Thomson Ridge

Recommended by Lyn.

Maybe the branch at Pasir Panjang is better cos she frequents there.

Thai Iced Tea

Still prefer those I drank at Bangkok streets and felt that

any roadside stall sells better thai ice tea.

Tang Hoon Salad

Not bad but felt that the taste was not strong enough.

Tom Yum Prawn Soup

This needs to be more spicy!

Pandan Fried Chicken

It was served in a easy-to-eat mode

but felt that it was a little too dry.

Vegetable Tempura

Fried Seafood Kway Tiao

*YUMs!*

Kway tiao was tasty and had the burnt taste!

It was the best among all the dishes.

Green Curry

Felt that it was too salty

but goes very well with white rice.

Tapioca Dessert

Too hard to bite.

Thai Noodle House fairs better!
