My Family; My Life; My Memories: February 2009

This is the first time I spent my V Day with more than one person! Besides Hui, along came my darlings Elsie & Chloe, as well as my maid! It was actually planned to be a day just for the two of us and Hui had booked a place for dinner (which until now he still doesnt want to tell me WHERE IS IT!). But few days ago FIL was sick and MIL had to be at home to take care of him. Therefore she could not come over to help take care of the girls. So we had to cancel the dinner as we did not want to bring the maid along to the dinner place. I did not want to stay at home either as it was a saturday and I will feel so bored nuaing at home.

So I planned a trip to United Square to buy the Happybellies brown rice cereal for the girls and also hoping to get a thermal swimsuit for them. Bought the items I wanted, shop around there for awhile and headed home after that.

A pretty boring V Day with no gifts, no romantic dinner and no more a 2 people affair...

Their thermal swimsuit to be used on my Birthday! Yes, intend to bring them for a swim! Doesnt it look so cute on them?? The next Singapore Joycelyn Yeo ^_^

15 days of CNY ended in a flash. It was very busy in the first few days of CNY with house visiting and pampering of the girls. Since now the girls started to regconise people and new environment, they started crying during the first house visit (my ah ma's, their ah zor's house) on the first day of CNY. They refused to let my relatives carry and whoever touches them, they started to scream. Very cranky that day! It remained like this for a few houses we went, but sometimes it was not so bad if they got what they wanted to play with and would eventually forgot they were in a new environment. Guess they needed some time to warm up.

Ofcourse during the 15 days of CNY, there were some incidents which made me very angry about but I would not mention in this blog. I did my nagging (to Hui ofcoz), I've done my part to protect the girls with all my mighty mights...and now CNY is over...let bygones be bygones...haiz...

Remembered my little princess Chloe said in her earlier post that I would show some pictures of their outfit for CNY? Haha..here it goes!

Taken on CNY eve at my mum's place. Look at their expression...from sticking out tongue, to frowning and finally smiling..both at the same time and being captured by the camera at the right time!

Went back home after the reunion dinner, body wiped, clothes changed and get ready to sleep. Once awake, Rat year will be gone and let's welcome the year of the OX!

House visiting at 叔公 & 叔婆 house on day 2 of CNY
Hui & I took leave on day 3 of CNY (sianz...this yr CNY falls on Mon & Tue. So Wed is a working day for most people!) to spent some time with the girls. On Saturday, we brought the girls to He Pan to take some photos. To the adults who been there before, it was not a nice place to visit as every year seems almost the same. But to the girls who just step into this world, I guess the photos is a good form of keepsake and would show to them when they are older that He Pan looked like this N number of years ago. :)
