Good morning!
Yes, i'm back. but period.
Gonna do some update? and maybe if time permits?
or if my mind stays instead of strays, i'll be blogging about
something which i promised i would....
THE MANI/PEDICURE SAGA.
Alright? that's hopefully when my mind doesn't strays away
or when i've sufficient time.
another slightly disorganized update?
the last post, i stop at the P.E.
with an update of my new black big baby.
so what happened after that?
well nothing much?
August ended just as it is.
then comes September.
and speaking of September, i'm not too sure if you have such encounters,
there are always people updating their FB status to:
'Wake me up when September ends'
i feel so DUH. but anyway, that's not the main issue here.
i guess they did that because they had a September like mine before...
I swear September this year is such a 'suay' month.
Why? What happened?
Suay Events:
1. Baby's bike broke down on random night while he was on his way home from work; on the highway - CTE. it was a weekday. i still remember the whole scenario....
I just got home from the usual routine of 'tabao-ing' prata for him when he's having 2nd shift. Just managed to nicely park the car. Gonna check my phone as I received SMS from baby earlier, and he called.
"b, my bike brown down. Can you go to XXX workshop and wait for me there? I've called the tow truck."
that's the whole idea. ya. bike broke down. sighs. on 2nd thoughts, kinda lucky, we have a car now.
2. Fluffy had a bump on her tummmy, right at her umbilical spot. I was touching her, trying to give her the usual sayang... and there! I felt it. Something like a lil' marble ball but not this hard? Bigger than the size of her nipples. I grabbed her, feel it, and looked at it. DAMN. this doesn't look/feel good at all.
The first thought of cancer just came into my mind. I was so lost for words. I asked baby for opinion. We waited for few days in vain, hoping that 'lump' will just disappear on it's own. But it just didn't.
Brought Fluffy to the usual clinic, somehow, the vet seems inexperienced. The old timers were no longer there. Suggested for a surgery. Feeling kinda doubtful, i managed to seek dear nisey's help. Helpful nisey brought me to Mt Pleasant Hospital and recommended me a good doctor. Spaying was suggested instead but spaying together with the removal of the lump instead. I was also given the option to monitor my dear Fluffy for a lil' while more before jumping into booking an appointment for her spaying.
So much comfort after that. Thank you very much Nise! you've been a great friend indeeed!! Nise even came down to AMK to fetch me upon hearing my suay event no. 3.
Anyway, if you would like an update, we are still monitoring Fluffy. Will probably be sending her for spaying next month. Due to suay event no. 3.
3. The suay-est event? 'Cause it was the last to happen within September (crossing my fingers!! 3 more days!)
We heard some werid noises coming out from our black baby. went down to the servicing workshop to check. ALAS. Compressor is dying! Futher driving not recommmended (that explains why Nise had to come all the way to AMK to fetch me). We had to park the car at the car park for 'good'.
Good thing, brother recommended Mark Cool, professionals in car air conditioning to me. Also did a quick check with Dion Daddy for alternatives as Mark Cool is at Woodlands... and baby and I do not have a single good matching day/time off together to get it done. Mark Cool recommended again.
The choice was fixed, took time off from work, many thanks to my dear boss. went down of course driving... and there. Verdict: compressor is totally Crispy to the max. We were given a choice of using a 2nd hand compressor or a brand new one. but we were also reminded that a 2nd hand compressor may only last up to 2 good years... and we have already decided that we are gonna stick with our black baby at least 3 years if not to its death... so a new compressor it is.
for driving folks, i'm sure you're pretty aware how costly a compressor can be. there are people out there who were asking questions like:
'Eh u never check your car when you buy meh?'
'y so rash buy car see lar now spoil'
but excuse me, from my best of knowledge, compressors are like our body joints.
they WEAR and TEAR.
it doesn't mean that my car is in poor condition.
Even Nise had changed her compressor before despite her's as a brand new car which she only drove for a few years.
so please. it's just my luck that it's 'tearing' after we taking over for a month.
so there you go. my series of suay events in September.
but of course, there are also happy events!!!
prior to September, we had Ricky's birthday celebration.
Dinner was at my favourite place.....
KIM GARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course i didn't have all 4 cups of soup.
i'm very 'AUTOMATIC'. i just had 1. :)
thanks Ricky!
then there was this particular weekday where we decided to buy a new toy for Gigi
cos her first toy was already spoil.
they say corgis destroy. u'll get what i mean later.
we had dinner at Asian Kitchen or something? at Nex.
something which i adore...
Lu Rou Fan
the portion was quite small. and i'm still missing the on at Ruyi.
I note that the had an outlet at Heeren. So... i'm gonna make my way there someday for SURE!!
we order a roasted 'platter' as well...
just some roast meat and roasted duck.
baby had a bowl of rice with that.
the roasted stuff was of course not bad. BUT. a lil' over pricey.
it's a restuarant. what do you expect?
well, anyway, we got a toy for gigi and she's really happy with it...
but in less than 3 weeks? or was it 2? the toy is once again. spoilt.
don't believe? See it for yourself....
blue fried bee hoon already. -.-
another must share happy event, was baby's birthday!!!
prior to his birthday, he had a lil' pre-birthday present... or so, i call it.
and his birthday present?
yes, it's official, the iPad 2 is his.
Eve of his birthday, we went prawning... and met his cat.
who sat on my chair...
upon reaching home, it's like 3am? in case you are wondering, yes i did say Happy Birthday to him at the stroke of 12. at the prawning farm.
and his birthday, we acted like tourist again...
we went for Singapore Duck Tours and Flyer!
There was a 'pose and shoot' area before you enter the Flyer which we both didn't know... and we jus anyhow pose lor.
turns out they will change the backdrop for you into 6 different ones for you to choose from! of course they will sell it to you after that...
so nice!!
we bought 1.
we went 'shopping' for a new work bag for him and a iPad bag for him after dinner.
headed to Chinese Garden as his birthday happen to fall on the same day as Mid-Autumn Fest! and we realise that entry is like $12 pax each, so expensive btw. and we didn't have enough cash on hand. so we jammed in the car park and headed home.
i guess that was when our suay events started...
Anyway, that's about it for September.
Just last weekend, Grace and Da-shu invited me to join them for the Pek Kio CC Youth BGM at Scape. there was gaming session at Playnation and food served as well.
Went for it with the support from my current fellow colleagues.
YAY.
i don't have pictures of us gaming or at the gaming area though.
i only got the pictures of our food.
there's a reason for that.
Potty, took the Orchid and place in each of our plates. leaving her's out. -.-
Mine
Elson's
Betsy's

We sure did had a wonderful time there... lots of laughter too.
went home at about 7pm while they went for movie and H&M.
y home? i had to feed Gigi and also, watch my dear favourite Gino on tv.
i haven seen him for so long. i missed him so dearly.
just like my fb post, 20 plus minutes is NOT enough.

went for World Animal Day with baby and Gigi on the past sunday at ECP.
