初一 (Part 1)

大年初一 Alaric woke up having diarrhea for six times and vomited for about 2-3 times... Poor Alaric... .. . After he's more settled down, we proceeded with our 1st CNY visiting at Mum's side HQ... We didn't stay for long as Alaric is still not feeling well and pretty cranky... .. .

初一 (Part 2)

As per usual practice, in the evening of 初一 we went to Goh Family's HQ at Yishun, but this year we didn't stay long and didn't managed to enjoy the sumptuous meal prepared by my Ah-Chim as Alaric is still not feeling well from diarrhea & vomiting... .. .

初一 (Part 3)

At 10pm+++ Alaric is still having diarrhea and vomiting from whatever he's eating/drinking, left with no choice we went down to KKH to seek medical assistance... .. . After all the queuing, consultation and observation we finally made it home at almost 3am... .. . Alaric is having stomach flu and he's ok just need time to recover... .. .

初二

After the tiring night from going to KKH, DS wasn't vomiting anymore but still abit of diarrhea, we managed to visit FIL Willy house and Ah-Ma, Aunty Jaey and Aunty Peggy's house for a short while... .. .

初三

Didn't go anywhere as Alaric & I are having stomach flu (yes me also kanna!)... Me went to see doc at Eunos MRT... Staying at home and standby for the toilet... .. . Poor Mommy gotta take care of us... .. . Love ya lots my DW!!!

2011-01-26T10:19:00.004+08:00

Living is Singapore is so stressful and 钱不够用!!!

My DS (Dear Son) has fallen sick and we brought him to our trusted pediatrician at Parkway East Hospital last night. Well, the PD diagnosed our son with ear infection based on assumption as his ear wax is blocking the view inside his ears and of course based on some tell-tales signs... .. .

Living standards and expenses are really on the f**king rise, see the receipt below and ya'll know what i mean... .. .

Visit to pediatrician: SGD160.50!!!!!

(It was actually $180.50, we minus out one of the medicine that we oredi have)

My Ah-Gong, Tony Goh!

2011-01-15T19:08:00.001+08:00

Ah-Gong aka Tony Goh came over to my place for iPhone 4 workshop.

Yes, my Ah-Gong is using iPhone 4 and i'm conducting a workshop cum tutorial for him.

LOL...

It was a nice catch-up session with Tony, he enjoyed the mutton Nasi Branyani from Geylang Serai market and he managed to get the answers for what he has been figuring out about some features/app on the iPhone 4.

After that I took some pics of him with my new G12, it was nice and fun!

Canon PowerShot G12

2011-01-12T23:21:00.002+08:00

G12 g12 G12 g12 G12!!! !! !

Finally a new cam after much consideration... .. .

Our old P&S Casio Z80 has served us well for the past 33mths, but we need one that can do more... We were deciding between a DSLR or a Prosumer, getting a DSLR will require more time and investment which is not possible for us with our little rascal around so after much consideration we decided to go for the Canon PowerShot G12!

Loving it!

Date of purchase: 12 January 2011

Item: Canon PowerShot G12

Damage: SGD849 (RRP)

Here are some of the pics we took with our G12!

Still learning in progress... .. .

Happy New Year!

CHEERS!

Crumpler Hillman Hunter (Yellow!)

2010-12-30T14:30:00.008+08:00

Hillman Hunter
Your hands may be too full, your pockets too small and the standard Crumpler messengers too large for your liking, but don’t pack us in for an old hat handbag or sad manbag. Try our Hillman Hunter on for size instead.

Teeny but not weeny, this halfling homage to our Barney Rustle Blanket has a compact yet curiously capacious 6-litre main compartment, a plethora of easy access pockets, plus dual velcro flap seals and closure straps with quick release locks to keep your belongings secure.

The Hillman Hunter also features a water resistant 900D outer complete with reflector strip and accessory loops, and a 150D Rip-stop lining. Like all Crumplers, it comes with a ‘Til death do us part’ lifetime warranty.

I think this is the 1st Crumpler bag that i come across that's soooo yellow!

Gotta have this too! DW, can i... .. ?

We can share share ya know... .. .

Alaric loves "Yellow"!

*LOL*

Crumpler "Heist" Series

2010-12-30T11:10:00.003+08:00

New Crumpler bags!

The "Heist" series... .. .

LIKE!

I'm gonna buy one of these tomorrow!

Nhil Heist

This unique slim-line laptop backpack allows you to step off your bike and into work, without looking like you’ve just stepped off your bike.

The Nhil Heist is designed back-to-front, the laptop sleeve is suspended away from your back allowing you extra padding space between it and you. And because the straps cross over the main zipper they proactively block would be pocket pickerers.

Inside the 17-litre main zippered compartment is a padded 17-inch laptop sleeve, four side pockets and space for A3 folders and papers. Two more zippered external pockets, one at the top and one at the side which can be accessed without taking the bag off your shoulder.

Keith Heist

The Keith Heist elegantly corners the vertical market with its smartest-bag-in-the-room integration of tote practicality and padded laptop protection.

Taller and more spacious than the Dederang Heist, the 13.5 litre zippered main compartment features a padded sleeve for your 15-inch laptop, general cargo space with four side pockets that will hold A4/foolscap papers and folders. While it’s concealed exterior zippered pocket makes the perfect base for your phone and other busy-ness imperatives.

More "Heist" series bags here!

Love is... .. .

2010-12-13T00:28:00.001+08:00

Love is happy
Love is discovering
Love is fun
Love is energetic
Love is romantic
Love is sweet
Love is giving all ya have
Love is connecting
Love is 2 become 1
Love is a long journey together
Love is to grow old together
Love is tiring at times
Love is frustrating at times
Love is angry at times
Love is sad at times

Sometimes Love just ain't a smooth journey all the time and when Love becomes tiring, frustrating, angry or sad, just go back to the beginning or remember how LOVE started and ya/me/we will realise Love is all that simple and our Love can be happy, discovering, fun, energetic, romantic, sweet, giving all we have, connecting, 2 become 1, continue the long journey and grow old together again... .. .
