CNY is fast approaching and here i am with my baking schedule once again. For this year, i am not selling any cookies except to my sis this year. Her order alone is 13 bottles while i have another 12 bottles or so to bake as gifts to family and close friends.
Not that i am complaining but given the limit time, baking become a chore more than a hobby. Can't bake too early for fear of the cookes turning mouldy. Can't bake too late either as i won't have time to complete all. Guess i'll have to forgo my sleep again.

End of 2009!
Its been quite sometime since i last update this blog. Wonder who still frequent this blog? :p
2009 will be ending in another 5 hour or so. As usual, time flies, another year is bidding us goodbye soon. Coming 2010, my little girl will be turning 5, entering K1 and little boy will be 4, entering Nursery.
I never have the habit of making any new year resolution, so am not going to make any for the coming one. As usual i only wish for good health for all my family members and friends, a smooth sailing year (been having a lot of ups and downs in 2009) and a fruitful 2010.
Oh, did i mention that i am expecting a little nephew/niece next year? :)

June - July
Just realised that i haven't updated the blog for coming to 2 months. Not that there aren't interesting things happening, its just that sometimes i am simply too lazy to pen down.
So here's some some major events that happened.
Little girl celebrated her 4th birthday 3x at my mum's place, the school and at our own humble house. This year's theme was princess. She requested for a princess cake and dress like one too. Times flies, in Dec little boy will be turning 3. Gone are the innocence of them, and what is approaching is more reasoning from the kids. Sigh!
In July, we celebrated the birthday of my younger sis, who turned 21st this year. Noyhing fanciful, just buffet dinner at Jurong Point. Well, this little sis of mine is such a fine young lady now. Wish her a bright future. :)
There is also the Racial Harmony Day at school. Managed to borrow a Malay costume for little girl. Looks more like a little nonya on her. Little boy still can fit into his jinbei, which he wore last year at school. (shows he hasn't grown much) :p

Updates
Pandon me for the lack of updates. A few months again, i've started this little business, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7550559, with my sis. Its still a pretty new store, so we are still trying to figure out which are most popular to customers.
Oh yes, felt playfood is a very new concept in Singapore, but its pretty popular in US. US parents believes that the plastic playfood contains lots of toxic, thus they would rather invest in other types of playfood for this children.
So now i am busy with sewing the items customers order. And on top of it, the usual, doing housework, monitoring the kids do their homework, cooking, etc etc.
The past 2 months+ hasn't really been a fantastic one for us. The kids are down with cough and cold, which lasted for more a month, stop for about a few days and back again. It's get real frustrating when the kids are sick, more so if you've tried all types of methods to build their resistence and nothing seems to work!

Ah Boy
Friends who known little boy would always label him as a sweet nature boy who doesn't run amok or behave like other boys or how boys should behave. Its true to certain extent. I don't have the problem of having to chase him when we are outside, and he don't usually fight or snatch toys with other kids.
But unknown to others, this little boy of mine has a fiery temper and a very very stubborn boy is he. (from dad's genes? :p) He would rather cry for close to an hour than to do what you asked him too.
Just like this afternoon, all i wanted him to do is to wear his pj then go to for his nap. This little boy of mine simply refused to do so. Had to bring him out of the bedroom and close the door with him outside 3x before he finally agreed to wear his pj.
Hiyoh, with such a temper like his (getting worse these few weeks), everyday becomes a chore. Imagine having to coax him into doing this and that, a simple task who usually takes 5 mins can end up being completed only in 15 mins or more. Let's just hope this is a passing phrase, (which i belive it is) and he will co-operate with me soon.

Snip, snap, snip
My hair has been dropping like no one's business (of course, other than mine), and i'm getting bald! Thought that by cutting it shorter, tangling will reduce, and perhaps dropping will reduce too? (I certainly hope so).
I hate going to salon, except those $10 express cut type. Reason is those saloons love to comment on my hair, some excepts are, "oh, your hair dry, fizzy, blah blah blah....", end up they just want me to buy their products. So why should i spend tonnes to listen to their comments?
Anyway, this time round, i thought i shall just try cutting my own hair. Had cut little girl's hair and little boy's not too long ago. Spend like 1/2 hr standing in front of the mirror in the toilet (simply too lazy to vacuum the floor), comparing whether the right or left side is long, which strand of hair is shorter, etc etc.
And ta-dah! I did it. From the mirror, its seems fine. Have yet to show anyone if its of equal length. But actually there is a need to, since i tie up my hair most of the time. Conclusion, saved $10, and i had "fun". :p

Her little request
In less than 2 weeks, little girl will be turning 4!
It seems like yesterday when she just celebrate her 3rd birthday and now she is turning 4. This year, she requested for a princess cake, well almost everything princess. She is just so much into princesses nowadays. And the weird thing is she has never really watch any princess cartoons, etc before.
To grant her wish, i've already ordered a Belle cake and trying hard how to dress her like a little princess without spending lots. Have made a tutu for her, now trying to find her a matching top and how to beautify that tutu.
While this mummy wishes that she stops growing old, she can't wait to grow up! Sigh!
Till the day of the celebration at school...
