UTterly broke, over the weekend... Pirate King, me & Piglet went shopping and we bought abount $1k of household stuff.
Our shopping loot:
1. A set of WMF pots - $472, original price is $995 (Pots given by my MIL is simply too big and not useful at all! )
2. An expensive Leifheit mop set + accessories - approx $300 (our part time cleaner was complaining about our 3M mop, decided to get this coz will be easier for us to use if we decided to ask the part time cleaner to leave)
3. A Leifheit clothes dryer - $117.30 (our current one is insufficient to dry Piglet + our clothes)
4. Other miscellanous stuff!

"Papa" Chant
Pirate King is very happy! Claire called him first and now, she loves to chant, "Papa, papa, papa" non stop!
Tried to get her to call me "Mama". She will call "Mama" and then followed by "Papa" I almost fainted!
Last Saturday, she called her Gong gong aka my dad, "Pa". Her pronunciation was very good, exactly the same way i called my dad! Conclusion, she is learning how to talk like we adults! Must really mind my words in front of her!
PS: She drove me crazy last night with her "Papa" chant. She refused to sleep even though she is very tired. She did her "1000" stunt, followed by "Papa" chant and rolled about for 1.5 hours before she slept!

2 Major Companies kena shit from me!
Just to share, 2 major companies just got it from me recently.
The first one is a national carrier and famous for the "S Girl" ads. My Sis is generous & kind enough to let me redeem her KF points for air tickets to HK. I had redeemed 2 tickets (one for Mum, one for me) and due to super user unfriendly KF online system. I had to call their hotline to request for certain changes and they repeatedly told me to cancel my bookings and amend it online DESPITES me telling them SEVERAL times about my request and problem.
In the end, I managed to get an email address and wrote in to them. Thank god, my problem was resolved and i highlighted to them about their "HOTLINE". I dunno shd i choose to fly with them again in the future....
The second one is the One with the Golden Arches, my colleagues and I were working OT last thursday. We decided to order from them and get them delivered the food to us. My colleague called and they told us that they can't process our orders as their hub is closed for the time being due to the overwhelming telephone orders.
So, i called them and asked them about alternatives. They gave me a whole lot of bullshit again. And me in a lousy mood and being bitchy again, told them off again. Now i remember, i got to write in to their company and complain about it!

Ah Sow Passed Away... Sigh
Ah Sow passed away on 1st October 2007, 7pm++
She is Mum's landlady, Mum stayed at her 3 room flat in Old Airport Road when she first came to SG from Pahang, Malaysia.
Ah Sow is like Mum's sister. Whenever Mum needs help, she will call her. Ah Sow will dish out advice on what to cook for us kids & etc whenever we re down with an illness or stuff. Ah Sow even plucked "chicken shit" grass for Piglet to bath in when she heard that Piglet was down with skin problem.
Every Chinese New Year, we will go to her place and her place will be bustling with activities. The adults will gamble while we kids will play.
Ah Sow was diagnosed with cancer 1.5 years ago. Due to miscommunication or what, she did not go for chemotherapy straight after her first operation. Her condition was erratic, sometimes good and sometimes bad... About 1-2 mths before her death, I even bought Piglet to visit her at Old Airport Road. She was happily chatting with us even though, she was not feeling very well..
2 weeks later, Mum told me that Ah Sow's condition was very bad. She was bedridden and refused to talk to anyone of them. It was only when Sis told her about her impending trip to London and Piglet, then she responded. Later, Ah Sou was hospitalised for 2 weeks before transferring to the hospice.
She finally passed away and I m glad as she no longer has to suffer. Somehow, I told Mum that its better to pass away in an instant rather than in such a painful way. I wondered what will i do if such things will to happen to my parents?
Life is as such and i must learn to appreciate my parents more. And teach Piglet to love them in the way, i love them too.

Ms Claire's Birthday Celebration!
Just finished opening up her birthday presents with Pirate King. Pirate King has warned me not to get any more toys or clothes for her!
Everything went on fine except that the food was insufficient due to unexpected increase in the no of guests!
Claire seems to know that its her big day. She was cooperative, she allowed us to put on the pink clip for her and she was smiley to all except when she s sleepy! Oh, she even requested that she wants to eat her birthday cake! I just dabbed a bit of chocolate cream on her lips and she kept on mouthing, "Mum, mum" to eat the cake. We gave her a bit of it!
Will load up pictures of her celebration when i got the pix from my cousin in law. Big THANK YOU to Denise & my younger Sister in law and her 3 children for helping out with the deco!
And Me, being the clumsy Mummy, burst 4 foil balloons! Hahha! Anyway, just happy that her celebration is a blast!
