Xayier Toh [18 Feb'09]

I know it is not very clear, but that is the best shot I can take from behind the glass window =p
Promise to upload a better shot SOON!

He is a big big boy manz! 3.465 at birth! Amazing! Mommy fed him well =)

Presenting ....

Little Xayier, 卓熙凯!

Ever-naughty Reyes

This was taken at an informal gathering with some colleagues at my house, during CNY - 8 Feb'09

Super candid~

Hoping ........

... Reyes will be obedient and good
... Reyes be healthy and strong
... Reyes be a happy kid

Beginning to feel the stress in teaching & disciplining Reyes. Have to admit that I am definitely not the mild-tempered, patient mommy, but I am going to do my best. Already foresee it will not be an easy task bringing up a kid, more ever he spend most of his time with grandparents - his protected territory. Yes, it feels good knowing so many people dotes on my kid, but it really turns around doubly hard in disciplining him. I FELT IT.

Sigh, not sure if I am a good mommy to Reyes. I felt bad & lousy after scolding him, but felt the need to do so. He's already a pampered boy at my parent's and I can't allow him to grow up that way - NO WAY! Of course, not as if I am confident I can inculcate good moral teachings to him, but hopefully teach him the rights and correct him on the wrongs.

Terrible 2 (years old)?? That's one of the traditional saying ...

Subjective or Offensive?

quote:

[ I will either "find my way" or "make my way" ]

I personally feel the above quote is definitely subjective but offensive??? Hmmm.. not quite right?

Anyway Hubby added this new quote in his office email signature and was being complaint for being offensive by a senior officer, and was called into his head's office for an interview. Being someone who advocates individual rights, he challenged for the head's comment to the quote and asked in what way was the quote offensive!

Percentage of determination is obvious than violence!!

Why do some people just want to make things difficult for others? Can't they just live their life peacefully and in harmony?

Perhaps that's these people that make our lives "colourful" !?!

3 years anniversary

The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.

It was 3 years passed in a blink! Can't really say we went through thick and thin as yet, but I strongly believe we both are definitely able to stick through such circumstances! I know Jim has a considerably high expectations from me, which I have not quite fulfilled. Haha.

It's never going to be easy living together, especially each got their own good & bad habits. It's all about compromision and accomodation. Hey we are still doing so, to date!

So where did we go for our candlelit dinner? Nah, initially we planned to make reservation at La Cantina in Venezia @ Changi Village Hotel, but decided to go for crabs since we both haven't been eating good crabs in awhile.

We went to Seafood Paradize @ Defu Lane for dinner after dropping our little sick Reyes at my mum's. Coincidentally our anniversary day coincides with “初七-人日”and we only managed to have our dinner @ 8:40pm!!! Well, the waiting can't be helped as they are well known for their butter cheese and chilli crabs - right!

Nothing special or memorable though, but it's the moment of both being able to enjoy things we like together that matters!

HAPPY 3 YEARS ANNIVERSARY - Jim Daddy!

and counting on ...
