The Hit Counter Has Hit 70000! =)

Thank you all for reading! =)

I'm not a full-time blogger nor someone who blogs to want people to read my blog..
It is just purely like an online diary for me to take note of the happy times/things/events/happenings in my life...

I'm happy to have people sharing with me the joy of my life...
because happiness are meant for sharing, as sharing doubles the joy. =)

Thank you all for reading my blog... boring or not. hehe...

Lists......

I have so many 'lists' on my mind..
To-Do List...
Wish List...
To-Buy List...
haha..

I think I need to find somewhere to jot down...

To-Do List:
- Change the lock of our new home
- Sit down and plan what to do to our new home
- Pack the stuff so will be easy to move over
- Go for blood test to check on my low blood count

Wish List:
- Strike lottery
- Money

To-Buy List:
- Dining Set
- Bed Frame
- Wardrobe

and the list goes on....

The image space left for me to upload photos to this blog is soon going to hit 100%.
which means I would either have to upload photos from another source, re-size all my photos to smaller sizes before uploading from now till it hits 100%, or I would have to set up a new blog...
I don't really like the idea of uploading photos from an external source..
that is like doing double job..
and resizing pictures are as troublesome..
and so looks like I would have to set up a new blog in time to come..
the biggest question is..

what shall be the new blog be called?

Have been browsing baking and cooking websites lately..
I can't wait to do bakery and cookery..

Leave a comment, if you think you have a good name to my blog address. =)

Oh Oh...
Don't forget...
This Saturday 28th March 2009 is Earth Hour 2009.
Please switch off all lights..or as much as you can this sat at 8.30pm for an hour.
We will be doing that..
I hope, as much as possible..

Mr & Mrs KD & Little Alvis supports Earth Hour 2009. =)

A brand new experience awaits....

Yesterday was the day...
We went to HDB at around 8.40am for our 2nd appointment cum resale completion...
It was the day we've been waiting for...

Some of you may know about us having our own place soon..
For those who do not know, ya, we've bought our own flat and have gotten the keys yesterday. =)
I was very happy..
The day finally came..
And the moment when we gotten the keys to the flat, I was overjoyed. =)

For so long I've waited, it was really a long wait.
Without the help of N, all these would have been impossible.
Now that I've gotten the keys, I will try my best to settle everything for our new home soon..
So I can repay N's kindness... =)

As the hubby had asked, the date for us to go and 'open' the door to the new home is tomorrow, 25th March 09..
I can't wait to do the 'open door' rituals..
haha..
it will be the first time I'm looking at the flat bare...
No furnitures..
No belongings of the previous occupants...
And we are the new owner of the unit.. =)

I am very happy..
That finally we have a place of our own...
Though it may come a little too late, now that little Alvis is already 1 yr and 6 days old..
But I hope Alvis can understand all the wait..
and that let's all look forward to our little cosy humble crib...
A world of our own... =)
A brand new experience awaits...


Brought Alvis for his pneumoccocus jab yesterday..
At 1 year and 5 days old, he weighs 11.3kg, 77cm tall..
He cried a little when the needle poked him...
And after that when we were out of the PD's room, he was holding on to my hands and 'running' around laughing...

At 1 yr old, he :

• eats 2 porridge meals a day, consisting of dried scallops, fish, spinach, broccoli, potato, pumpkin, carrot sometimes.
• drinks max of 240ml of milk per feed
• is on Gain IQ
• waves and says bye-bye
• say mama or mummy, papa, mum mum, neh-neh (milk), no-more, ah-gu (uncle), ball-ball, and learning to call y-gong
• imitates tongue clicking sound, yawns, coughs, laughs when burps or hear you burp out loud
• holds our hands and walk around
• stands on feet with little assistance
• loves to listen to mummy sing

and the list goes on...

tonight i shall double boil some ABC soup for his porridge tomorrow..

so aunt can use them to cook with his porridge...

Looking forward to weekend with him...

Sigh.. now i miss him so much.... =(

Some Photos....

Some photo uploads from my mobile phone...

This is what I recently put on my desk with a photo frame from my company...

Our Family Portrait...

I think it looks very nice on my desk.. heehee.. =)

Though it always makes me miss my two precious more at work..

Last Tuesday brought Alvis with me to have my pedicure done..
My nails were so ugly before....
now at least my toe nails are pretty..

On bus 190 from FEP to takashimaya...

At Cold Storage doing 'marketing' while waiting for hubby to knock off...
Alvis baby so wanted to help me push the trolley...

On his actual birthday..
His ah-gu came up to Y-gong's house to wish him Happy Birthday before going to work..

On his birthday again...
On the cab to meet the daddy who took half-day leave from work.. =)

Haha.. wearing the fisherman hat from Yanru...

On the way to FEP to get car before heading for the zoo....

At KFC at the zoo.. after a tiring day visiting the animals..
Mummy and daddy had to grab a bite..

I like this photo of Alvis baby:

We went to GuanYin Temple after the zoo visit..
Alvis baby slept on the car from zoo all the way to Bugis..
All the way thru we prayed...
All the way thru when we had dinner...

hehe.. still sleeping soundly beside me in his stroller while daddy and mummy had their dinner...

I was hospitalized on Friday evening because of severe headache at work after lunch..
So pain, it was the worst in my life...
I called hubby to come fetch me from work to see a doctor as it was really unbearable..
I rarely had headaches...
Went to GP, referred me to the hospital for further examination..
Then at the hospital, the doctor suggest I admit that night so they can do a scan for me as he is afraid that there's bleeding in my head.
I got a shock... was so frightened by his words...
I so wanna go home to see Alvis baby but then I also wanted to know the cause of my headache..
So under a 'no-choice' circumstance, I was admitted to TTSH..
Hubby went home after they sent me to a ward...
To bring my stuff and hopefully to stay with me overnight as I don't dare to stay overnight in hospital alone..

But at around 12+am, he was told to go home by the nurse... =(
I was left alone.. so i quickly fell asleep...
I kept telling the nurses and doctors that I wanted to go home by Saturday afternoon...

So they took blood from me to test.. urine test...
Went to do CT scan for my head and MRI scan for my brain..
Results were all fine..
I had low blood count..
and the possible cause of the headache could be migraine....
Sigh....

Hate to know that I have such problem...
I don't know why...
Since I rarely have headache...
Probably too tired and stressed ba...

Anyway before hubby came to fetch me home just now, I told him to try to cook porridge for little Alvis...
Gave him some instructions...
On what to put into the porridge and how to cook..
I reached home at around 5pm..
Bathed and then brought Alvis home from aunt's place..

At around 6.15pm, I went to take the porridge out from the flask I told hubby to keep the porridge in..
To my pleasant surprise, the porridge looked very nice..
The color, the texture and the smell....

=)

I was delighted. =)
At least I know my hubby can prepare his porridge.. =)
and the most important thing is..
Alvis loves it..
He ate a big bowl of porridge just now for dinner...
Happily... =)

A very big thank you to dear for taking time off work to attend to me and Alvis baby..
And thanks to all whom had showed concern..
Especially my colleagues at work..
Took care of me while waiting for hubby to pick me up yesterday...
and the many messages sent to ensure I'm ok...

Guess I'll have to take more supplements to try to increase my blood count and think less... =)

Alvis' 1st Birthday Part 2 - Actual Day

Yesterday was Alvis' baby's actual birthday...

To celebrate this joyous occasion, the daddy and the mummy took time off work..
To spend this special day together Alvis..
So off we went....

Alvis loves birds...





Then on the Tiger Trek we went...
And witnessed this:




The tiger on top was horny..
In broad daylight...

Putting Alvis baby into the pouch...





The Elephant show..


Watching the elephants performed....









Curious Alvis baby...






who cried after the elephant pushed the log into the water that caused the water to splash up high with the sound being amplified by the speakers.
hahaha..







Cute clumsy penguins..


Curious Alvis again...

The blue sky very blue...
The greenery very green..

Then we went to the Rainforest Kidzworld...


All waiting for the water to pour...

Walking happily in water..
and feeling the water at his little feet.. =)



















I love this artistic shot from hubby:


The tall tall giraffes...










We had a fun-filled day at the zoo..
Just the 3 of us...
The weather was fine, though a bit hot...

Alvis baby, mummy and daddy hoped you've enjoyed your day...
We had so much laughters..
and fun on the car when mummy sang you songs that made u calm and fell asleep.. =)
Mummy enjoyed singing Old MacDonalds and hear you giggle at the moo moo sound, the quack quack sound that I made..
We'll sing the song together very soon...

Happy Birthday my little precious..
Mummy and Daddy hoped you've had a great 1st birthday...
Mummy Daddy Love You.
