One silly button, i have to re-type the whole thing all over again. Merry christmas everyone and how was your celebration? Yesterday, william and i went to 2 different places to visit. One was chow yang's place and the other one was janice and kaixin's place. At chow yang's place, we had pizza and the golden pillow 933 curry bread. I thought the 933 tasted quite good. Jaan was the organiser and the one who ordered the food, but he isnt in the picture cos he cant come as his wife's waterbag burst. this frightened me cos her delivery date was 19th jan and mine is 11th jan. oh dear! i wonder has his wife
given birth yet? wish her all the best and hopefully it wont be too painful!Our group picture

chow yang and his daughter

933's mutton flavour

the curry is inside the bread wrapped in plastic and paper, i wonder how they bake it?

OPening ceremony with chee wei

we went to botak jones for lunch, too hungry to take the pic of the food. we had this "oops" voucher so we can order anything from the menu and we did. highly recommended! look its more than $70, and it is in a coffee shop.. very nice beef.

Long time no see!

its been exactly a month since ive shifted to my new place.( to princess mom: baby is a girl and her name is jessica) hopefully she can be as pretty as jessica simpsons, jessica liu and all the pretty jessicassss in the world) and of course easy to take care, thats what ive always been telling her.

Anyway back to the topic, im in my new place and i really love it. Its like a girl's dream to have a home of their own with the one they love. Sounded like a fairy tale story, yeah? Ive yet posted the picture of the house after the renovation. Not really extreme makeover, but the changes is beautiful, at least for me. Wait till the house is neater , i might put up the pics, cant take them now due to the rainy season, and clothes cant be dry so i have my clothes dry in the living room. Who else is having that problem too?

i have to stop my course on early childhood, due to jessica's arrival, i must rest more to hatch the golden piglet egg... time flies.. i cant imagine how life is gonna be. My hubby seemed to be worry about me w jessi. he always say things like " somemore ure so young" alamak.. my reply to him was " Dear, in the olden days, ppl also gave birth at the age like what 14, 15, 16.....?, most impt is to be able to bring the child up" then he will think about it and felt slightly better, i think..

Anyway everyone is getting excited, so am i. My mom also very cute, when she cant get me over the phone, she will be so kanchong, thinking i might fall and need to give birth. Especially when im alone at home. No fear! ai zhai! lol. I hope jessica will be close to my mom. Very often i will imagine the picture of them together, jessica who might resemble me in my mom's hand, she might feel young again just like carrying me last time. I think me, who is gng to be a mom soon, starts to feel more for my mom. Now i understood why some ppl always say, you wont understand until ure a mom. William's parents are getting excited too. Whenever i popped by their place, they will look at my tummy. Once, his dad said " hmm, its coming, see the tummy is lowered" His mom said" if the doc didnt say it was a girl, i would think it is a boy, due to the shape of ur tummy, its the sharp type" So william went to clarify with the doc again. HAha. the doc ensured that it was a girl and the pic showed clearly. So people, those things abt the shape of the tummy is MYTH.. i am a real life example.

This was taken on 8th dec, my mom's birthday, we all went for dinner, i was about to enter the 9th month pregnancy. cant see my tummy from here.

Then again the three of us, everyone looking into different angles.

Ive transformed Owen into a little minnie mouse.. shhh his mom better dun find out abt me posting this pic.

My school project, where all of us have to set up learning corner for kids, ours is the jungle theme. The ball throwing games, i did all those cartoons!

The tent and the campfire area.

I was explaining the Spinner game,19th dec, cant see my tummy hor, in case u may wanna find out abt the size of my tummy.

our group pic, i looked like a giant.

The brownie we had in suntec's OLIO cafe, very nice n sinful, the ice cream is in the middle. Oh dear , i need to lose all those calories man.

Finally, tml i will be moving into our new home. I love the new place. Although, it may be inconvenient without driving, but its worth it. it will be a long distance to walk out to the nearest bus stop. Not sure will the management get a shuttle service for the condo.
anyway, looking at the progress of the renovation is fulfilling. Love the sofa, the huge rocking chair, the new "THICK" bed, the lights, everything in it.
Finally a house to be called my own. MY HOUSE... heehee. nice tv too, my "own" kitchen.. WAH
I am lucky to have such a nice house, thanks to my dear husband.. same goes for jessica, sometimes i would imagine her crawling along the passageway, think that will be sweet! ah, nice i can go and sleep while thinking of the house and sleep in it tomorrow. good night and sweet dreams.

Hello and good morning. I just completed my essay. Phew! 1500 words, damn difficult to write. It took me a long time to start on the very 1st word. Essay is about the our preschool education system. Finally... i know its bad to say something like this, but i wanna let it out. so i will talk a little bit on it. My coursemates ranges from as young as 19 to 50 plus. Everyone is required to do the same amount of work with the same criteria. But the problem is, i have some mates who cant do their work, and would seek for other's work as referencing. i dont think this is a good thing. Those we done their work, wont mind sharing their ideas, methods and sources, but not sending you their work la. Such work must have privacy. According to what i heard is, some may have problems doing their work, that doesnt mean that those who done their work didnt crack their head for it. i was thinking through this, then i tot could it be the age problem?
Cos i am 24 , i would able to write the stupid 1.5k words? but there is another gal who is 19 could do it leh. when she asked me about what to write, i shared my ideas with her and the points that i noted it down from the teacher. When comes to writing i cant tell her what to write too. haiz. i dunno should i just be inconsiderate and say it to her, be rude? haiz. when the submission of this assignment is arriving, i would have the feeling she will come asking for our work and again, she did.
Instead of ignoring the sms, i reply sending it to her isnt good and i gave her the sources. i think it is good enough. i also have my life. i divide my work and leisure time, so she should do the same too la. the rest i cant be bothered. getting irritated.
Anyway, i am looking forward to my new place. the reno is looking pretty and cosy. the furnitures are still wrapped up, i cant wait to sit on my huge rocking chair. My privacy, cant walk around naked with curtains down. haha, kidding
next week, next week....

looking thru the old pics. last yr around this time, we are preparing to go japan. so nice, i miss that place......

the hotel we stayed, according to william, it is 5 stars and best in malacca.

self taken picture.

chowyang, helen and their baby girl. poor daddy had to carry his gal around and walk along the streets. A pram will come in handy lor. see them like that, scare me. tough work

we are back to the place again , b4 we were together and married. it was so bright until my eyes cant open. wat a awful smile but at least he smiled in this pic

the real chicken rice ball, not too big or not too small. William's fren tot it was fishball initially.

the streets of malacca. im surprised that there are lotsa ppl, mostly tourist.

The 3 of them waiting for food when there is none. maybe they want some $ instead from william's wallet.

AH, the only time i managed to snapped him with his face, facing the front than the top. He always lift up his head one. He look young from this angle hor?

The 3 of them.. too bad the gate block them. mika the hao lian boy sitting at the back

Kim Kim, i tot she looked like snoopy here. Took this b4 we left for the malacca trip.

Sorry! didnt rotate the pic, but lazy too since its loaded. MA FAN. This is taken during the IMPORT Model carshow at expo. entrance fee $10 which i tot is not worth it. This was the ONLY interesting pic i took there, its like a halloween car. My purpose there was to see hot babes in bikinis, but i was told they left when i reached. damn it

AH, birdsnest with almond cream delivered to my doorstep when i was doing the stupid tedious observation. Seeing it in a coconut shell, i tot and tasted like coconut cream until william told me its almond so... quite solid la the BIRDSNEST part

Part of my project was to get a food pyramid. My group, we went an extra step ahead to get it done ourselves. This is my workpiece. Copy from internet one la. lol

My silly nephew, so afraid of standing on the platform outside vivo's. He is afraid that the floor will collapse and didnt want to stand up. Silly yet cute. Look at his face

I love my mom, i hope in future my little Jessica will be close to me like i am close to her. Sometimes i would rather spend time with her than my friends. It is like spending more time with her when i am still given the chance and not living in regrets. Been sticking to her closely since young and i have to admit that i am a mommy's girl. Even though , she can make me really mad too but i guess we dont hold grudges against each other cos be gained better understanding each time.

having coffee with my mother at vivo's pacific coffee, when my belly starts to show a little, my mom say i horrible wear until all tight tight one. tights and tight top, lotsa ppl staring at me, thinking am i pregnant? or something wrong with my tummy.

The childcare centre that i did my practicum with. iKIDS

:)
My practicum of 9 days is over for a week, time flies. from the beginning of the 9 days, it seemed forever to end. yesterday i managed to hand in of "observation" assignment. Observation is done during my prac, and i have to observe the children and documented into a file of them. That was difficult and boring.
i can still reall the events in the school vividly. i think i dont really miss the children there. i thought of the reasons behind it. i think it is because i am gng to have one of my own and the school is very near, i can always visit anytime. who knows, i may do my prac 2,3 there?
woke up b4 7a, today, so hardworking! on a nice, cooling saturday. set my alarm at 730am, but woke up automatically maybe i am excited.
Dear dear and i are gng to melaka with his big group of friendsss for a 1 night stay. i am so bored staying in spore! everyone seemed to be travelling at least to malaysia except me. it was sweet of him to arrange one with his buddies.
haha.. iam feeling hungry, need to grab something to eat b4 we set off, didnt have much for dinner last night and had it as early as b4 7pm. however, we went to see the import models at expo hall 5. How disappointing! i dun get to see the gals in bikinis, and that was my reason of gng man! saw the local gals though, no familiar faces just bumped into some frens.
okay i gtg, i havent pack my stuff and william is still sleeping..
i shall update with my melaka pics when i am back. byebye

Oh yeah, i still have a few more pics to share. Some taken on Last saturday and sunday. Wanted to post them a few days ago but couldnt post them.

Baby renee holding the pen in a correct manner. The right grip. Seldom get to see kids at her age able to do it.

Tyler in his "Zebra suit" with William. i wanna get one for jessi too, next time.

Group picture at Sarah's birthday.

i have no idea whats wrong with the site or with my computer. Everytime when i attempt to post, the whole thing will hang. Or could it be the pictures? let me try again

now , it works. maybe it is due to the wireless network. So this pic above is one of the other group's work. This module is to plan and decorate an attractive, yet healthy food to the children. This group's theme is Japanese food.

This is Anita's group. Their theme is Dinosaur land, more for the boys.

Another group, their theme is "Plants"

This group havent got much theme. The burgers are meant to be either crabs or spider.

And finally, this is my group's. Our theme is "Chicken Licken's Farm" which is based on a book called the chicken licken. Background, is hand-made by me. The "grass" is torn up pieces of brownish green paper. The Pie you can see on the left is Sheppard's Pie, baked by me. The Pie is meant to be garnish in a manner like the crops land on the right. The carrots are hte fencing. Does it look like the fences? The dessert is brownie, cut into cubes. It is served right next to the cow, like "Hay". The outer-layer of fencing is made of ice-cream sticks. When i was planning and doing all the handicraft, i felt i was back into my primary school days. With better motor skills to draw. William always wonder how come i can spend so much time and patient, painting and drawing. To him is " Bo LIAO" but i like it.

Our group's picture.

Whole class picture.

Found this picture at my mom's place. Thats my sister and little blackie when he was so small, we brought him to Genting.. SHH.. he is so cute. Time flies. He was a baby and now in heaven. I wish he will still be around. Now even "blackie number 2" is gone.. miss them still

Its a nice cooling day.. Today is full of activities. Not the most interesting ones but shopping for furnitures with or designer of our new house. We will be looking at curtains, lights and sofa. AFter the date with the designer we will head down to orchard to walk walk, meet Amy the confinement agency lady and to SARAH'S surprise bday party organised by her hubby. So sweet right?
i hope i will get some good pics today so i can share it . so have a nice saturday ahead. For the malays, hari raya.

Friday morning at my mom's place. My mom was already out by the tme im awake so meet her taiwanese fren who is flying back in the afternoon. The new maid told me she's gng to the market. The instruction given to her was to go to the market with me when i wake up, but she misunderstood it wrongly and went on her own instead.
my dear dear sister came. Supposingly to pick the maid, but the maid wasnt around. i would say its more like screaming at me for letting the maid out "you shouldnt anyhow let the maid go to the market one leh, Andrea!"
and that sentence destroyed the mood of my friday. dammit.i paid the same amt of $ as her to share the cost of this maid to help my mom. So i am sure she is so so wrong to even raise the slightest voice.
Since young, been always facing her temper. Now, im married and going to be a mom,she doesnt respect. find one day, i shall do it back at her.
lol now i feel better.

Its thursday... one more day to go, for the weekend to come. i think my mood is pretty good today.. i spent quite alot of $ on my mom yday. went to the NTUC, paid for her bills. Paid for her lunch and dinner. Means i am paying for 2 people to eat.

whatever... at least when i do this, i feel better in a way i didnt neglect her esp when she moved into her new place.Been alone after i was married. Not really too, cos i have been gng back to stay with her. Her new maid has arrived, which is good cos i know she loves company. whenever she is alone, she always talk abt loneliness and i feel bad. When im not around, she is really just alone. All she have is the TV and telephone. No Hubby or pets. So now "Wa Hew" the maid's name, can be there physically to accompany her. lol. poor thing! my mom kept screaming at her. She cant speak a Single sentence of english and my mom's malay is 1 pcs 1 pcs one.

i better stay out of it! all i have to do is to share cost with my sister. Ouch! thats a pinch in my pocket and heart. haha

Btw i have some pictures to share

my anniversary present from Japan.. we gotten the brown one last yr in japan. This time round the black and white one is brought back by chee wee ( william's fren) Putting them together look so cute! brown one named "caramel" the other one is "chocolate chip"

My fren Ting with a funny smile. the last time was her funny glasses. this was after our presentation.

one of my many work i have done in this course. i like the border. submitted to the office, so take one last pic of it.

my group mates. from left: Me( i look fat! so sad), Ting, Namira, Farah, Rebecca

thats all folks, let me take more pics

Morning, rise and shine. I am not the early bird type, but today is exceptional. I was waken up by 3 different ways. 1. An sms at 7 plus from a classmate ( managed to go back to bed) 2. Another sms from a classmate at 8:20 abt ( when i was abt to go back to slp again) 3. the powerful sound system from the lower floor. My parents in law are playing their stero. Luckily William left my door close, so at least it blocks out the sound partially. The best part is, the song can repeat non stop and in dunno what language.. some oldies..

The difference btw ur own parents home is, you can scream at ur mom!! but i cant do so here, right? lol

nvm i am already looking on the bright side, cos i am gng to my own paradise "changi rise". There wont be any of such problem. Last few months, when such thing happen, really made me feel sad and blue. cos i dunno when will it end and will it ever end.

Serious! the kind of songs is definately not what our generations will like and ive never hear it in my life at all.

Ok! enough of the morning complains...

Today i have a few things to do. To tidy up my assignment that has to be handed in later. Drawing up a concept map for a presentation later and gng for class early.

He is my "observation child" Owen.. you cant see my face.

Blogs can be boring without pictures. I havent been loading my pics or taking much picture with my camera and that is why i havent been posting. Even if i post anything, they will only be just words. I enjoy viewing other's blog for their pics so i guess its the same for my blog too. I am getting more used to married life as time passes. School lessons can be fun and meaningful. By the way its early childhood education. Many ppl will ask me qns like "Preparing for motherhood?" Answer is "Yes" in case you are curious.

Anyway, yesterday was my anniversary with my hubby and it was sweet of him to spend time with me. The night b4 when the clock strikes 12am, i was given a "chocolate chip" snoopy version soft-toy all the way from OSAKA universal studio. Last year, when we went there, he gotten me a brown version of it and i named it "caramel"

I dont have the pictures now, i will post that very soon though. The next day, i dont expect any present for our special day cos, having him is already a gift.. lol

William brought me out for dinner and bought me another present and again i havent taken the picture and i will soon.

let me show u our dinner

yummy!

this is call the "PAM PAM" when i was gng to order my food, i asked william whether he tried this b4, he said not bad and it looked like a purse. Do u agree?

and this is DANTING, lol. dont be angry with me for putting up this pic. shes just one loud gal in my class with her funny glasses...

happy one year NEAR NEAR, i love u lots and the only one in my life. thanks for loving me, doting on me. All i can say is, ITS WORTH IT HOR.......

Ning ning ning

All alone is Singapore. How i wish i am in overseas now. William and my my mom has gone abroad to different countries. Feels like home alone. Its gonna be a lonely weekend. Many of my classmates are dressed up and going somewhere after class. I did arrange some programme. Meeting my 2 buddies, wan ping and pris later. For dinner and chit chatting session. Fortunately i still have them to accompany me. This kind of feeling is like a rainy day without warmth. My mom is coming back tomorrow so at least i will still have her tmr. William will be back on sunday, should be in the night. Means sunday is gone too and monday arrives.

have a nice weekend

its almost a month since the terrible day. Life is kinda weird. sometimes you may think that the worst is over, but there is always more to come. A blog is like a writing a diary, where you can share with some other people at the same time.
Marriage life isnt just about 2 people, but it invloves in many other people too. As we grow, it gets more and more complicated. Now i truely understand why many youngsters nowadays would want their own house and family that is away and not with the in laws. So, in a way u still feel that they will still have the control over themselves. If some cant even solve their own problems, it will be worsen if there are other factors in the family, other members in the family.
For my case is probably becos i dun understand in the 1st place or from the beginning so i didnt mind. Perhaps, all of us are just so used to the "home" we came from. The lifestyle where we are brought up in, so in a different family. You just cant understand. Maybe the only solution to all this, is to study the environment ya in and adapt to it? is that the way? what if u cant?
Living life day by day. My mom always tell me, raise your opinion if u have any trouble. But how leh? will it end up like stirring shit? Its sinful if u stir the wrong thing leh. Im not a vicious person that is able to play in the game. Not that i feel that my marriage is having problem. Maybe its all getting used to it,maybe i am too young? There are people i can share with, which made things rather tough sometimes. I am a cheerful person, and at many times i am able to tell myself."Andrea, dont think too much. Be strong!" Too emotional!!!
just wanna normal life and be happy. Not like the best happiness, joy, but just happy will do. whatever, when william is sad, im sad. when his worried, me too. haiz
