Mother’s Day is a Cliche

So here we are, my first mother’s day. 🙂 Well, we did the whole go out for lunch thingy with Kat and Daddy Kat. We also bought my mum a bag and ended up being scolded as she mentioned that we fell into the trap of business owners trying to sell things at high prices. Actually, i feel the same too. Mothers Day is just another day for business owners to earn more. If your thinking is ” its a day for you to appreciate your mum”, i am definitely in the wrong channel with you.

First of all, I would rather Kat draw me an ugly card then for her to give me a flower. I got my first carnation at church and that poor flower didnt even manage to get it to the vase. I think it is still lying on the table, dying.

Secondly, I hope Kat appreciates me every other day, rather than just Mother’s Day. I would rather she come and hug and tell me she loves me every day then come over and tell me Happy Mother’s Day on Mothers Day.

Thirdly, we go out for dinner/lunch every weekend and come on, Kat cant treat me lunch or dinner-.-

So for me, i think i am on my mum’s stand:) I just happen to see a bag of hers on sale and got it for her. Next time, I will just give her after mother’s day. Hahahaha

Angel’s Favorite Quotes

Another one of my past times would be to look at quotes. But due to my extreme laziness, I never gotten myself to sit down and actually pen down my favorites. So since I have this blog, I might as well use it as a directory as well. Who knows, I might be sharing with some like minded people out there. If you have something nice, please share with me as well. Here is one of my favorites:

Bali Bali Part 2

Well….this being the 2nd time Daddy and Mummy Kat is in Bali, we already know what we would like and not like to do. So instead of scrambling around like all typical Asian tourists do (no offence but we Asians just do not know how to relax), we were loitering around having high tea at hotel lobby, hanging at the beach with Little Kat, splashing water with Kat at the pool etc. Maybe its because we were not flocking everywhere, we truly felt refreshed after the trip, thou the chores of looking after a 8 months tot was still there.

There were some new discoveries with little Kat over this trip.

1) I love swimming and playing with water.

Bali Bali part 1

Bali was awesome!!! Not the kinda singles awesome where you party all night long, but awesome as in super family awesome trip where everyone is happy….including Kat.

Kat was like little miss popular in Bali…staff from hotel, boutique staff, even tourist at airport keep flocking to her to touch her hands, say hi, and “ouch…she’s super cute”…and this little fella was loving all the attention, smiling to everyone she meets along the way. We could have just left her in Bali and I think she could survive there pretty well….hahaha….proud mama moment:D

Let’s start from the airport. As usual Changi airport was awesome. With a kid, we always have to be at the airport early, so we had breakfast, shopped around play with little Kat, change her diapers, feed her…etc…We were hoping Kat could have slept more thou. But I think she knew she was going on holidays so when we were up at 5am, she was up too, and refused to sleep until 1 hr into the plane ride…

We stayed at Westin this time round. Reason being, it is reviewed to have the best kids facilities in Bali, and a little bit for everyone. It was great!!!

We got a very nice Balinese welcome dance when we arrived. Our fascinated and happy Kat got her little frangipani at her ear and a kids club welcome pack! Inside was a night light, kid safe plug stopper and the most important, A RUBBER DUCK that Kat simply refuse to let go of.:)

There were little chairs at the lobby for little kids, coloring paper for older tots, and a kids club. Since Kat was still young, there was an indoor playground for her. For older kids, there is also a bigger playground, activities, tv room, kids spa, kid salon. It’s simply awesome!

So we definitely started the holiday on the right foot….more of Bali coming up!

My Hubby Is The Best In The World

While hubs is doing the dishes….let me write something about our marriage so far…considering that today marks the start of the 3rd year of our marriage.

Is he what I dream about when I was young?nope.hahahah…to be very honest, I never thought I was able to marry myself off since young so when I met,dated and marry him….in my heart, I was thinking like woah!i managed to get someone to marry me….lol

He was then me supervisor at internship when I got to know him and it was only when we dated that we realize that we are so much alike.:) other than the part where he just hated that I always want to manage my own things, which he also feel is not very lady like of me. But he is definitely my best friend, someone I can share everything with, someone that understands even though he doesn’t want to show sometimes:)

A year into our marriage, we had little Kat. She’s the cutest, most adorable little button. The exact replica of Aaron, even the annoying bits. Aaron is wonder daddy to this little girl. Never failing to make her laugh, never complaining to clean her dirty diaper and always ready to carry this little girl as she drifts off to dreamland. He is the hubby that makes motherhood seem easy cause the husband is always there to help.

People always mention that ur kid is the best thing that happen to their lives. For me, daddy Kat is the best thing that happen to my life, Kat is like a bonus feature.hahhaha….Happy 2 years anniversary my love.

our first ancient photo together in 2009...hahaha

Successful little drumsticks

In contrary to Mummy Kat’s lack of motivation last weekend. Kat was busy impressing us with various things. Now that I am no longer stuck in the loo (I shall spare the details), I can finally share some excitement.

Daddy was experimenting with Kat and her play pen door and…

Our little bubble can now stand with assistance!!!!whoo hoo!!!! Her little drumstick thighs are standing!!!! Although she haven grasp the part where the only reason why she could stand was she was holding onto something. So the moment she started becoming proud and let go of her hand to be excited, gravity pulled her butt back to the floor. Well, we all know she’s gonna stand on her own soon so at the mean time, this little button can take her time to grow up.

Mummys Do Get Sick

Well…I am officially “Down” these 2 days. Apparently, I am writing after having just woke up from what felt like a coma + unlimited vomiting since yesterday morning. At least I feel human now (human= minus vomiting, add bad sore throat).

 

Anyways, this is actually the first major time I am down since Kat was born. As far as I try to be “Super Mum” all these while, I must admit that I am kinda defeated this time round. I had caught little kat’s little throat infection and it had amplify on Mommy huge time=.= However, the reason why I wanted to write this article was before Kat I was really sickly, easily catch a cold, cough, etc etc. But ever since being pregnant with Kat, this little glitches in my system seem to have take flight. AWESOME!

Well, the good and bad. Good= I haven been down sick for 7 months. Bad= Now that I am officially sick, I feel horrible.

Everyone I guess would like to know how Kat feels with Mummy sick. Well…nothing. She thinks Mummy is still Super Mum and was just crying to be carried by Mummy at 630am in the morning=.=|||…I guess it doesn’t make a difference to her then. Well I have my Super Mum as well and even now that I am married and have my own little girl, she is still asking if I want her to take leave to accompany me:) Love my Super Mum. I hope Kat loves me as much next time too…hehe

 

Brand Fanatic

 

ImageA Snap Shot of Daddy’s Grass Patch

Brand Fanatics we are indeed! Why do I say so? Simply look at the grass patch that Daddy Kat finally got last week end at Takashimaya Fair. (FYI. It is an on-going 3 week fair so Daddys and Mummys out there, you cant miss it out).

We always have this dream of what we and our girl would look like and use even before she was born. So as far as it is “practical”, “useful”, we try to get things that look good also. Not sure if that is what happens when you have 2 designers in the house. But we were chatting casually on our way to work today and we were trying to determine which one of us, Daddy or Mummy is an impulse buyer. Well I guess it is for everyone to judge. But it sure makes us happy looking at the happy colors of the things that Kat owns:)

As we buy more stuff, we grow to like certain brands and keep buying things from them, or colors that suit what we have. Lets cover the simple section of Lil Kat’s possession when it comes to eating:
