Hair Loss

Help! My hair keeps dropping. Lately, you can't walk a step without finding a strand of my hair on the floor. From what i read, It's due to the change in hormones that's causing all this. When I was pregnant, my hair hardly dropped (due to the hormones again). I was so happy. So was KS.

Now he's complaining that no sooner had he vacuum the floor, he sees yet another strand of hair. But what to do? This is the after-effect of giving birth. But I wonder when this hair loss will end? Surely it can't last forever, right? I'll be botak liao...

Baby Station

Last Saturday, we went to Sakura at Downtown East for buffet lunch as one of hubby's friend was going away.

One thing about having buffet when you bring along a baby is that you can't eat in peace (which is expected). And you can't eat slowly and you can't eat all the different varieties of food. You have to make a decision about what you want to eat. And make that decision FAST! Cos you won't know when you can make that trip to the buffet spread again.

Thank goodness, my son only poo-ed after lunch so we bought him to the changing station to change his diaper. Can't resist taking this pic.. Cos' it look so outerspace..

Father & Son's Hands

A pic of my son's hand on top of his father. Cute?

Edelweiss & 泥娃娃

Since my son is born, I have been singing these 2 songs whenever I carried and pat him to sleep. One is Edelweiss and the other, 泥娃娃.

Of course when I sing, I don't know the whole lyrics, so I'll hum my way through... And I could be singing and huming the song for at least 15 minutes over and over again that I feel like a broken tape recorder.

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Every morning you greet me

Small and white, clean and bright

You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow

Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Bless my homeland forever

泥娃娃 泥娃娃 一个泥娃娃

也有那眉毛 也有那眼睛 眼睛不会眨

泥娃娃 泥娃娃 一个泥娃娃

也有那鼻子 也有那嘴巴 嘴巴不说话

他是个 假娃娃 不是个 真娃娃

他没有亲爱的妈妈 也没有爸爸

泥娃娃 泥娃娃 一个泥娃娃

我做他妈妈 我做他爸爸 永远爱着他

My ROM Anniversary

Last month, while watching TV with KS, he casually turned around and said "Happy Anniversary". I was like "huh?, what anniversary?" and I even asked him "what's today's date?".

Then it occurred to me that that day was our ROM anniversary. For record, we ROM in 2003 and married in 2004. I have absolutely and totally forgotten about it! The is the "after effect" of giving birth. I am so busy that I lost track of time. It's true, you know. This is especially so during my 2 months maternity leave. Cannot differentiate which day is which day and what date... Cos' everyday is the same to me... Feed him, clean him, pat him to sleep etc..

I told him that's a good reason to go out and celebrate! Let's go to a restaurant for dinner and he was so nice... "Restaurants? Sure, take your pick.. MacDonald Restaurant, KFC Restaurant, Burger King Restaurant..." Ya..ya..ya... I got your message....

Hubby's Birthday

I celebrated KS' birthday last week, 2 days late. Anyway, it's not much of a celebration because we just went out for dinner. Yep. That's all.

I noticed that after the inital first few years (of courtship) when we make an effort to plan our birthday celebrations, the last few years, we didn't plan anything. At most, just plan where to have dinner lor. Boring hor...

Of course there is a present too lah. But well, the presents get cheaper and cheaper each year too .. haha.. And no surprises too. Few weeks before his birthday, we passed by Op. They were having sale. So I told him to choose a shirt as my birthday present to him. After discount, it cost $17.

Well, what's the saying? It's the thought that counts. Right?

Anyway, we went to Vibe @ Meritus Negara for dinner. $39+++ per pax. After UOB credit card discount, around $77 for two. I thought that it might be crowded so I make reservation at 6.30pm. Thinking to have a earlier start so that we can go back early to fetch our son from my mom's place. But anyway, we were late. We reached the restaurant at 7pm. And you know what? We are the 1st one to arrive! We find it odd and I quietly asked the waitress when she was serving us water whether we are too early or ......???? The waitress replied that there will be people coming later.

The people didn't start to come in until 8pm. We have the restuarant to ourselves and I joking told KS that in honour of his birthday, I have booked the whole restaurant. Ha! When we left at 8.45pm, there were only about 4-5 tables occupied, very the 冷清.

Anyway, the food was not fantastic. KS didn't like the way the meat was done. Think it's too salty. I have the same thought too. We both conclude that Brazil Churrascaria in Sixth Avenue was better and for the same price too!

Aiya, forget mah..

Tell you joke of the year. You want to hear?

Sometimes, I wonder whether I should feel upset or just shake my head in resignation. This is a real life incident and a classic example of 人在心不在. When the heart in not here, where got mood to remember leh?

A new colleague from my dept asked another colleague from Admin to change the toner for the printer for her. The Admin colleague came over to replace as she thought that it’s the photocopier they wanted her to replace, only to find out that the printer is not the photocopier that she originally thought. My new colleague has asked her to change the toner for HP Laserjet and this is not under her (Admin) charge.

Now guess who’s in charge of Laserjet toner requisition? Me! And you know what? I’ve doing this for the past few years.

Of course, this comes to my knowledge. So I went to the new colleague and asked how come she didn’t get from me? (in a very nice way with a smile on my face hor). Now her boss was standing beside her at that time and I kinda directed the question at both of them. The new colleague replied that she thought it’s from Admin. But I find it strange lor… Surely she would have asked internally first (ie. Asked her boss first) before she called Admin? Or asked me lah.. Logical, right?

Now I can understand when the new colleague said she doesn’t know it’s me. But you know what did her boss say? “Aiya, forget mah.” You tell me lah… How to not get pissed?

Let me ask you. How can you forget when I’ve been ordering the toner cartridge for the dept since the day I joined the dept?????? And not forgetting that the boss is working here longer than I do (more than 10 years).

I’m absolutely speechless and astounded. Oh what’s my reply? Didn’t reply much cos’ why waste my salvia when she will forget what I said anyway?
