Happy 11th Wedding Anniversary Man!

Lately, my colleague has been asking us (who were all married) and updating us on the preparations for her upcoming wedding such as Guo Da Li, ROM venue, wedding dinner, and also home searching.

Wow, all these customs sounded like they happened a long time ago and I couldn't remember some of them clearly anymore! Fortunately, I had the blog where I detailed some of the things down.

Thanks to her, I'm enjoying the little recaps of the wedding preparation here and there, now and then. :)

And just last night, she asked us where her parents should be sitting during her wedding dinner. Both DC and I were certain that my parents sat with us that night. It was after I flipped through the actual day wedding photos stored in the computer, that I realized we were both wrong!

So much memories these photos had brought! So much work, effort and love had gone into the preparation for the actual day but now we don't even celebrate the wedding anniversary anymore?

So I say to myself, we must make it a point to remember this significant day and celebrate the day we became man and wife! And, I will rely the same message to DC too!

Happy 11th Wedding Anniversary, my Man!

Here's a photo that will definitely bring you fond memories of the day we met, the day you put on the ring on me and the day we wed!

I organized a movie event for the company and chose this movie as it was the movie which best fit our criteria - within the timeslot we want, within walking distance from lunch place, genre suit both genders and not watched by anyone yet.

You see, the downside of finding a movie which no one had watched before aka newly released film (I couldn't even find it in the Wikipedia!), would be to accept a risk that this might be B to C grade movie, which unfortunately in this case it turned out to be so!

We were conned by the name of Anthony Hopkins, thinking that it should be worthy but alas he didn't even appear in a lot of scenes in the movie! It didn't help that the drinks at that cinema also offer lower than expected quality of drinks and nachos... :(

How do I describe this? Hmm, cheesy and cheap thrill, better off watching the Korean dramas at home!

Well, at least the actor and actress are still watchable and we got to go back early after the show... haha...

Lunch at Carousel

Pulled off a lunch and movie event in just 1.5 weeks for a group of 50! So proud of ourselves (me and another colleague)! :)

Lunch was at Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts. The spread (halal) was quite good!

There were additional people who came and there was a moment where there were not enough seats... something to take note of in future!

DC watched this alone, at GV Gold Class, thinking that I would watch with my colleagues on Fri's event...

His comments: a bit too excessive compared to the 1st movie. Passable entertainment nonetheless...

[Updated on 22 Feb 2017: Showtime for this week is out! This wasn't even a choice! Wahahaha... crying for Keanu Reeves now!]

Back To Gym

Back to the gym after unknown number of years... thanks to DC! He introduced me to the cycling class. I also read somewhere that it was effective to raise the energy level and even suitable for old people.

Knowing that it was an intermediate class, I went easy with myself...

How did I feel right after the class? My legs went jelly right after I stepped out of the bike!

How am I feeling now? Ouch! I was unable to walk properly, first day it was just my thighs and on the next day, even the calf muscle ache! Fortunately, the chewzies were very sweet, A held me around and B didn't request for me to carry her for long! :)

Will I go back again? Yes! Definitely but maybe will stick to the beginner's class first. hehe...

Pokemon Gen 2!

Woke up to find the unfamiliar Pokemons around after the update on 17 Feb 2017. It was a pleasant surprise!

Niantic had added around 80 new Pokemons to the list and I've been on the game whenever I can since!

What I caught the first 2 days... 32 new types and 11 evolutions completed - not bad at all for a start!

Aren't the Gen 2 mons cute? :)

Updated on 19 Feb 2017:
Caught another 5 new types and completed a few more evolutions (that made 37 new types and 15 completed)... help! I'm seriously running out of storage!

Who does B take after?

A typical day at B's music class would end with the teacher asking me to get the instrument for B to practice... after I've gotten the instrument, she'll want me to ensure B practice at least 10 mins every day at home. Today was no difference except she commented that B pick up quickly during class despite her not practicing at home, she had the potential.

The music teacher also said that at her age, B's notation was perfect and that she must have been very clever. She enquired if she was doing well in school to which I replied okay.

She further questioned if her intelligence was from her parents. I was quite taken aback to receive such a question from the teacher but humbly said it could be her daddy and left to chase after B who had left the classroom already.

Back home, I told DC what happened and we both fought for the credit (LOL!), both claimed that B takes after ourselves! Well, although DC achieved the top few percent of his cohort, I was quite a model and promising student back then at school too!

Never mind who won the fight in the end, it was a proud moment for us!

Photo of her taken on that day, on the way to her music class. :)

A Tembusa Tree Fell in Botanic Gardens

A tembusu tree toppled in the Botanic Gardens yesterday afternoon and left 1woman dead and 4 injured including the deceased twin 1yo children!

We also discovered that very night that another tree also toppled at our estate, and blocked our way!

A remembered hearing the sound of the tree toppling, so did DC during nap time... while B and me were sound asleep! He was worried about the tree falling again and couldn't sleep at night... and we allowed him to sleep with us that night, much to his relief! :)

The fallen tree:

The next morning (today), we saw some men clearing the tree. Boy, that was sure a lot of work and that tree wasn't even the size of the fallen tree at the Botanic Gardens!

Knowing that the tree was removed, A slept well that night. :)

RIP Tree!

A Happy Day

Today, after their enrichment school, we took the kids to somewhere we hadn't gone in a while.

The chewzies were questioning if they were going to their Sunday school when they realized that they were going in the direction of MBS.

"Yes, we are going to MBS."
"But, no there is no school today!"

That made their day, mine too! :D

And so, we all went to LV Island Maison in MBS. A place we used to hang out before the kids were born, ok to be exact before B was born.

It was heaven to them, they were having joy and fun there, as if they were at home! Chasing each other around, running around, exploring every corner and taking pictures everywhere (haha this which I was guilty of).

We were glad to see a familiar face there, still as friendly, and we took pictures with her. :)

However, we were disappointed to know that the belts that both of us wanted were either sold out (just a day before!!!) or not in the correct sizes (we requested to have it transferred from another shop but to find on the day after that that was in bad condition!!!).

Nevertheless it's still good to be back. The island was really a nice place to laze around on a sunday afternoon.

Next, we went to a jap café in Suntec and tried their newly introduced brunch sets. Their coffee was still as aromatic, just what we need to handle our energetic kids!

After we had our fill, we headed to Sentosa to do some collection at the RWS Invites counter. And, B thought that she was going to check in a hotel today! haha...

Much to the kids disappointment, we went back home after the collection.

Happy day still, for the kids and me! :D
