Her new ECA!

Yesterday was Wednesday so Claire & I stayed overnight at Mum's place.

Mum told me about Claire new ECA a few days ago but i dun have the chance to witness it myself. I managed to see it yesterday.

Claire likes to crawl to the telephone stand and play with the stuff there. Mum's telephone stand has magazines on the bottom shelf and on the top shelf, there will be the telephone, a tissue box, the remote controls and the basket of keys.

My cheeky gal will first pull on the magazines out from the bottom shelf onto the floor. Afterwards, she will pull herself up and starts to play with the items on the top shelf. Usually, she can only play with the basket of keys coz that's the only thing we allowed her to play. She will scatter the keys with her little fingers and somehow got those keys onto the floor. Once all the keys are on the floor, my dear gal will crawl away to look for other entertainment!

Anyway, i m amazed by the way she managed to get all the stuff onto the floor!

PS: Claire gave me a hard time yesterday by pooing twice in her disposable diapers before her bedtime! The best part is she gave us a bright smile after she finished pooing!

Birthday Celebration!

Even though, there is like 2 more months before her 1st Birthday! I have already started her birthday party's planning (so called planning is looking at cakes & food!)

I had already fixed 5 October to celebrate her 1st birthday and we just confirmed the venue to be the Function Room of Pirate King's cousin's condo. Anyway, the function room can only be booked on 8 August. Keeping my fingers crossed that we will get it!

Now, Pirate King had asked my in laws to give him a list of relatives to invite to Claire's celebration. At my side, its just only my immediate family, some close friends & colleagues!

Pirate King wanted her celebration to be in early part of the day, like 9am-3pm but after Mum's advice, i told him to make it 3pm - 9pm. As this allows Claire to have sufficient sleep and not be cranky, Mum has promised to lug Claire to her birthday celebration after her beauty sleep!

Guess i m old even though i m soon to be 30

Out of boredom, i google on the lawsuit of the 2 famous ladies bloggers in Singapore - Xiaxue & Dawn Yeo.

Internet is powerful, it allows alot of things to be done easily (like ibanking, e-commerce), communication time cut short and made cheap (sending emails via continents). Oh, i can list out 1001 things that internet has made our lives easier.

But one major pro & con of internet is information overload! Also, the information provided might not be real or true. So this whole saga is dumb! It just shows how free they are to be engaged in such lawsuit. Ultimately, the best winners are the lawyers who represented them!

Personally, I dun like both of them. Both looks equally horrible in terms of looks, one is too sweet for my liking while the other looks too unnatural with her long eyelashes + blonde dyed hair.

If ever anyone of them will to read this post, let Mdm Wong (yes that's me) tell you this. You ladies still have a long way to go. When u reached my age, you will realise the blogsphere is nothing and that there's more to life than it!

Suddenly i feel very old and i prayed that my Piglet won't grow up to be engaged in such STUPID stuff!

My Current Obession!

Diamonds => My current obession!

Been wanting to get a pair of diamond earring studs for myself. I dun mean a pair that could be found easily in the jewellry shops. I want a pair of 0.5 carats, quality diamond studs!

Quality meaning, 2 loose diamonds of at least 0.5 carat each, color grade between D-F, clarity between FL-VS2 and cut between excellent & very good. If i got all the top for each of the C's, I m going to pay a hefty price for it!

The best part is I m thinking of getting the loose diamonds from this site, www.bluenile.com In fact, i m just shopping around to check out the price and the specificiations of the intended diamonds.

I came to a conclusion, i can only buy the loose diamonds when i had saved enough $$$! Coz, by getting the diamonds online & shipped to Singapore (Bluenile is an US online retailer), i will definitely have to pay import taxes? and the definite 7% GST on the loose diamonds.

Guess i either buy the loose diamonds here in Sg or just save up more $$ before even thinking about buying!

Rashes!!

Poor gal, imagine my shock when I saw her all covered in RED, ANGRY rashes when i was bathing her this morning!

Mum called and I told Mum about it. Mum told me that it could be Claire being too heaty as Claire didn't poo after this morning's water parade.

After finishing her lunch, we bathed her in Oilatum Plus to reduce the amount of rashes and literally creamed her up with the moisturiser!

Mum came to my place in the afternoon and was upset to see the rashes on Claire. She told Claire,"You re so petty. Yesterday i was asking Doris not to call you Ugly Piggy coz your skin is better. Now, you re back to being an Ugly Piggy."

Afterwards, Mum told me the rashes might not be due to Claire's heatiness as with Mum's help (water parade), Claire managed to poo and her amount of poo is big! It could be due to dirt & dust at Pirate King's fren place.

Then i recalled, we went to Pirate King's fren place last night and the floor was dirty. We let Claire crawled around and Claire was scratching too. When we were back home, we din bath Claire as she was fast asleep. We only wiped her. Perspiration + dust accumulated = RED, ANGRY RASHES!

Sigh, felt so bad for subjecting Claire to all these unnecessary rashes! I doubt i want to go to Pirate King's fren pl either!

Shopping with Mum!

Mum came over to my place in the noon to see Piglet!

So, she played with her till we put in to sleep in the sarong. Once Piglet is asleep and Pirate King awake from his afternoon nap, we went to Orchard for shopping!

Mum told me about the stuff that Doris bought yesterday. (Mum was out shopping with Doris) We went to Zara to check out the top that Mum wanted to get but we din see it. Afterwards, we went to Far East Plaza to eat the Rojak but it was closed.

So, we went to Taka's MOS Burger to settle our dinner. It was shopping all the way, i went to check out my shoes & clothes. There was this pair of shoes that i wanted to get but they dun have sizes! Guess Sporeans are getting richer, I tot i was one of those few who re willing to spend more than $100 on a pair of shoes... Guess I m wrong!

We went to Cova to have desserts! Cove stuff are expensive but the food is good! So its worthwhile!

Anyway, i managed to get 2 pairs of shoes at Isetan Scotts. I tried to psycho Mum into getting a pair of shoe but failed! Nevertheless, i find myself satisfied just getting some retail therapy!

My Chilli Padi!

I knew that Claire wasn't some baby to trifle with but i din expect her to show off her power at the tender age of 9 months!

Went to Pirate King's friend place for his son celebration. His son is 4 yrs old, the first grandson of the only son in the family (but not really the only grandson coz his friend has 2 sisters.) This boy, A is simply spoiled.

My dear gal is a curious cat and she saw those LEGO towers that A built. She crawled towards them and she destroyed those towers with her hand! A was so pissed off and he showed his anger by stomping his foot with an angry face.

Claire retorted by pouting and giving him an equally fierce look. This further agitated A! A's Mum came over and told him to share his toys with her! I find Claire's reaction funny! Its as if she knew that she gotta protect herself!

Guess, Claire is a chilli padi in disguise!

Demoralised.....

For the past few days, horrible headaches came to plague me.

I wonder isit due to my excessive staring at the PC monitor or simply killing my brain cells.

Work is always never ending. I m quite upset as my last 2 colleagues who came in the same time as me are leaving. I seem to be the last woman standing, even though my colleagues who came in much later are ok but the spirit is different.

Plus, i don't understand since my co is out for sale. Why do those idiots sitting in the management still pile on extra work to us? Now, i just want the sale to go through and be confirmed about the final buyer!

Guess what, i m organising spree to lift my spirits up! Now, i just prayed that my sprees will be successful!

Mother & Daughter

Had another tiff with Mum yesterday over Piglet. Piglet did not go over to her nanny's place as her "boyfriend" was down with flu since last Friday.

Mum was tired from looking after Piglet for the whole day. So i finished my dinner and Mum told me to feed Piglet water. As usual, i have to give Piglet water parade. Piglet was wailing and i had to do stupid things to distract her to stop her wailing. Mum said that i was noisy and the neighbours might slam the door. Guess what, Mum told me to stop the water parade.

I put Piglet sitting at the side of my thighs and she did not stop wailing. I bended down to pick up a food particle that Mum dropped. Perhaps due to her excessively wailing, Piglet became tired and toppled backwards. I was nagged by Mum for not keeping a watchful eye on her. I was so pissed off!

I carried Piglet with me to the kitchen to throw away that food particle and Piglet merlion all over me. I gave out a loud "ah", Mum scolded me again for scaring Piglet. Men, i was so angry that i m ready to scream!

Somehow or other, I managed to get Claire clean up with Mum's help. Later, Dad shouted at me to clean myself up. I was pissed off with his tone that i retorted back. Mum scolded me for being rude to Dad after i came out from my bath.

Anyway, to cut the story short. I went home immediately with Piglet after my bath. We took a cab back home and Mum called me and questioned me on Sis's letter. I guess her call was to gauge my mood bah.

I told Pirate King about the whole story. Pirate King was funny, he "punished" Piglet by giving her a pat on her butt and told her not to be so mischievous!

PS: This morning, my Dad "scolded" Piglet for making Mum scold me.

Crying Claire!

Somehow i dun understand why Claire cries everytime she goes to my in laws' place.


Yesterday, Pirate King & Claire went to my in laws' place. I din go as I was sick and needed rest. Pirate King told me that Claire cried the moment she stepped into their apartment. It was almost non stop crying for the whole 2 hours there.


She only stopped crying when they carried her out of the place. My Mum thinks that it could be aura of the house as with or without me around, Claire will cry the moment she steps into the place.


That's the main reason why i dun wan to go to my in laws' place!

On diet?

Claire has gone on diet again. I suspect it could be due to teething. I saw 2 little white spots on her upper gum.

If the 2 little spots are really her teeth that are sprouting out, i would say Claire is one unique baby! Most babies will sprout their first teeth on their lower gum followed by the teeth on the upper gum. So far, Claire has only 1 tooth on her lower gum!

Looking forward to see her other teeth, wonder how long will she be a One toothed gal?

PS: She is getting more and more mischievious & a curious cat on the prowl! I m enjoying every moment of this with her even though it drives me crazy at times!

Sigh, my Dad!

Our relationship with our Father is somehow screwed up. None of us (including my Mum) wants to talk to him. Sometimes, i find him quite pathetic that no matter how he tried to engage us in a conversation, we simply just cut him off especially my Sister.

Yesterday, we went to the Singapore Flyer. All of us are happy but a little incident that happened at the ride entrance that utterly ruined the mood.

Mum, Pirate King, Claire & I went into the entrance first and waited for the rest of them. Suddenly, we heard Dad's loud and angry outburst over food. Apparently, Dad was not allowed coz of the food we bought from Breadtalk. I was taken aback by the commotion and I just took the breads and told the person in charge that we re not eating it on board the flyer. I will just put it in my bag.

The lady explained to me that strictly no food allowed and i have to put the bread at the baggage counter downstairs. I told her that its a hassle for us and we are in such a large group. It ended up, she helping us to put the bread at the baggage counter. Dad shouted at me for not letting him settle the matter in his hands, Virginia told me that their attitude was very bad when talking to Dad on the food.

I told Dad, no matter how awful their attitude is, he doesn't have to behave in such a way. Mum further emphasized that his behaviour will only make us unwilling to go out with him in the future. I feel bad for telling Dad off in front of Virginia & her family. Sigh, just dunno what to say or do about Dad~

Exercise for the Ang Family!

Today, we went to IKEA at Alexandra for dinner and followed by a shopping trip to the supermarket at Anchorpoint!

The main purpose is to buy toilet paper. However, supermarket shopping is one favourity activity of mine. So we browsed around to see what other stuff we can get. Since Pirate King told me that we will be taking a cab home, we might as well utilise the cab fare and buy stuff we need.

So, we bought the following:

4 packets of toilet rolls, 2 packets of 1L fresh milk, 1 box of 1L yoghurt, 2 refills packs of fabric softeners, 1 pack of swimming diapers, 1 box of baby biscuits and 2 bottles of Ginger beer!

Guess what happened, there was no taxi in sight and there begun the exercise for the Ang Family. We walked home from Anchorpoint to our flat at Redhill. So, i was carrying Claire in my Pikkolo while her Benz was used to ferry our supermarket stuff home!

I think the walk took about 20-30 minutes and it was really exercise for everyone. Thank god, Claire was busy observing her surroundings that she did not act up cranky! But, it was quite a fun thing to do even though it was tiring!

Another Funny Encounter!

Yesterday, we met up with Mum after finished doing Fat Bond's stuff. Mum forgotten that Claire & I are staying overnight at her place so she took Claire out to meet us too so that I could bring Claire home!

After a tiring day, we took a cab back to Bedok. While in the taxi queue, there is this Chinese guy from Beijing who striked a conversation with us. He asked us how old is Claire and is Claire a gal?

This is the one time a stranger who got her gender spot on! Quoting Bond's words,"This guy never stops talking!" He shared with us about his 15th month old daughter's milestones and development, tips and stuff that we should do to let Claire develop better!

Imagine my surprise when he said that we should let Claire eat prawn, drink pork bones' soup etc.... At the end of the day, I told my Mum that even though we re Chinese but we practise stuff differently! I think if i let Claire consume prawns, her eczema will flare up big time!

Homecoming for Popo!

Mum, Sis & Fat Bond reached home on Monday midnight from their Hokkaido trip.

Since Mum did not see Claire for 1 week and she missed her terribly, she asked Pirate King to bring Claire to Bedok for a visit. As usual, the lazy Pirate King doesn't like the idea of going since we will be bringing her to my Mum's place on Tuesday. Me being me, asked him this question, "How will you feel if your future son-in-law dun want to bring your grandkid to visit you?"

Well, Claire pouted for a while and wailed when she saw my Mum aka Popo at the lift lobby of my parents' block. That's her welcome present for my Mum! All of us felt that Claire is unhappy that my Mum left her alone for 1 week and by crying, she is showing her displeasure!

Nevertheless, Claire is thrilled to see my parents, Sis & Fat Bond! She was shrieking and smiling all the time there!

More toys and stuff!

We bought 2 toys for Claire and both are from Fisher Price.



The first one is as per the below picture. It is a walker cum ride on toy. It acts as a stimulant to assist Claire in learning to walk and once she knows how to walk, it can be transformed as a ride on toy!

The other toy we got for Claire is an animal stacking one. So far, she seems to enjoy the animal stacking toy as compared to the above walker. Nevertheless, i will continue to teach her how to play with the toys.

Not only toys, we also bought a set of WMF children's cutlery and some clothes for her. I guess if my Mum is reading this post, she will lecture me on spending excessively on Claire. Sometimes, i wonder is it Claire wants it or I want it?

Eye Infection

Claire got this eye infection since Friday. On Friday, I met up with Pirate King and her for dinner at City Hall. On our way home, I discovered that her left eye kept on tearing and there seems to be discharge too.

So, both of us decided to monitor and observed. On Saturday morning, we discovered quite a huge amount of yellowish green discharge. Pirate King and I debated on where should we bring Claire to see the doctor.

In the end, we bought her to this clinic that is 2 blocks away from our apartment. We waited for 2 hours before seeing the doctor, the doctor diagnosis was less than 10 minutes. The doctor prescribed her an eye gel (to clean her eyes) and eye drop (for treating the infection)

It was such a struggle trying to use both of them on Claire. Pray that this eye infection will go away soon!
