ah Thiang's 35th!

31 October 2016


Took a day off from work to celebrate the Mister's 35th birthday!


Suppose to turn up for a arty-farty drawing session, followed by a high tea session at Arteastiq but the Mister decided that we should just have a simple lunch instead of cracking what to draw on the canvas pieces without any professionals to inspire us what to draw - such a disappointment!  It was a last min decision to withdraw my reservation and it was still very early to had lunch and we were stuck in Robinson Heeren due to heavy rain so we had coffee while waiting for the rain to stop.


We wanted some oysters and Luke's was quite expensive which we had for last year's celebration so we had Tanuki Raw (+ oysters) for lunch instead and a stop over at Red Wings store to get a new pair of boots before we head for a foot massage then dinner with the family.  Ending the night to do our last min packing before we head to LEGOLAND for the weekend!

Happy Birthday to the man I fell in love with eleven years ago.  I still love you more and more as each year passes.

Happy Birthday!

Growing up with Nathaniel; Week 137-144

04 October 2016
 
Week 144!
 
It's been almost two months since my last update here and he is already gonna be 2years 9months old!  Our curly fries is growing way too fast,  weighing 15.9kg already.  Next thing you know, I will be preparing his third birthday celebrations!  (donations to one of the children home, birthday party, goodie pack... so many things to prepare for quarter end of 2016!!!)  :))


He can now speaks very well in sentences... mimic-ing the way adults talk...  hence we must be very cautious as we speak!
 
We are spending post-Papa's birthday celebration at LEGOLAND this month!  So looking forward to this family vacay!
