Birthday 🎁 surprise

After making the booking, I immediately messaged them with a birthday cake request. 


The next day they informed that they have put in the request for her 



Yippee! Can’t wait for her surprise. I used to be on the other end, the one presenting birthday cakes, anniversary cakes to passengers and this time my daughter is at the receiving end.

Big girl is 23

23rd Nov (Sun)

Went HDL at Plaza Singapura for birthday celebration 


Wah…. first time it’s decorated so nice. Lil’ one is sore that they didn’t do this for her birthday celebration.





24th Nov (Mon)


Came back with small cake. Someone gave her


mango & yuzu cake




When I made the transfer the night before her birthday. I notice the time just as I was editing this photo. Should I transfer her $25.11 at either 11.25am/pm tomorrow?



25th Nov (Tue) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! 🎂 
She WFH today but I was busy as had to chauffeur lil’ one back to school and then drop by Ikea. Initially wanted to get her a small slice of Daim cake from there but they didn’t have any.
But she didn’t want us to sing birthday song. 😂. So it’s really a quiet day for her



26th Nov (Wed)

She took her birthday leave (last year she took the same date as well) and she didn’t spend with us. Went out with HL. 


We collected the cake for her, one day late coz that’s the earliest day we can collect 😌. Hubby was suppose to collect for his birthday as it’s from the bank, but a few times he did let her choose her birthday cake, that’s coz they share the same birthday month. That was when she wasn’t so fussy over cakes also. 


We waited and waited for her… daddy was so excited to sing for her, his big baby. 


“Happy Birthday to my big baby”. Had to photoshop the people out from lighted candle cake pic coz everyone didn’t look good 😂. 



27th Nov (Thu)


Came home with another cake 🤣, must be from colleague. Tiramisu cake from Swee Heng



That’s fast! In a wink of an eye and she’s 23!

Trying to tag lil' one who went out with che-che for their siblings lunch #havingfunwithairtag# #likedogtaggingherlikethat# #cozchechehastogotoschool#




26th Oct 2020

Looking to buy seeds online, hopefully this source has good reaps.

Then this attracted my attention. The flowers are so pretty. BUT they're poppies . If I plant, I'll have the

" mahtars paying me a visit.

Should I try che-che's fav daisy in her room? Using her Click n grow. But her black pansies have been flowering n flowering, lavenders not flowering anymore but keeps growing n growing. Just changed her red pansy pod.

*ranting* why can't we plant tulips here?


26th Oct 2020

My huey hueys



"I want to be like a sunflower so that even on the darkest days I will stand tall and find the sunlight."



My pathetic cosmos. Threw in the whole pack but only one wrestled its way thru the soil.


Ehhh…... this is really pathetically ugly. It looks nothing like balsam at all.

Time to re-plant new plants. Need to get soil first.


Not much choice on a Monday morning in CS. There were beautiful roses but they're all fully bloomed so will not last long. In the end chose these light coloured carnations which somehow don't seem to stand out on the dining table.

Using a much smaller vase this time, so won't go pok-gai 💸. But this will not be enough when I shop in FE 😉 


Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature

Nice earring



26th Oct 2011

My messy study-room with my "Masters scholar" going thru work before the exams. *jitters* ahdoh! still hv time for FB!!


Footnote written in 2020 : I wish we have enough room for a study room now.

Their room now is so small that can only fit their table n bed n a bookshelf.

And studying in your bedroom is not that conducive at all, you're drawn to the bed next to you

Yay!! Thank yoh Aunty Lily



26th Oct 2011

Haha! Who's paper is this? Athena's or Aricia's.

All I did in my insane mind was to see if she could do a P3 cloze passage, n my 5 year-old declared that's her paper. And if you're wondering ... Nope! She couldn't, she gave me funny answers.


26th Oct 2011

Two lovely girls' - sisters who share the same birthday - birthday party on 26th October. I have photos of their beautiful cake but .... better not load into FB. All I can say is the cake is lovely!

Mei-mei and her kitty cat. She likes the Angry Birds balloons, and I like the Martian balloon.


The girls holding onto a big bunch of balloons. They were disappointed when I told that I allowed 4 balloons to be brought home.


Ur NOT bringing these home!



26th Oct 2010

Can't wait for exams to be over, I can officially throw the assessment books away; pack up her books in the storeroom; tidy storeroom; tidy their studyroom wardrobe still not done since we renovated the room); tidy my scrapbooking stuffs (sigh...). Then it's buy books for next year. ?!?! Never-ending work!



26th Oct 2009



Footnote written in 2016 : 2009. Easier lifestyle when kids were younger.


Footnote written in 2023 : cutie pies




Footnote written in 2016 : In 2009. So carefree...


Footnote written in 2023 : Che-che bor-geh 🤭

On This Day - (11th Oct) #Reminders from FB#

* feeling funny

Made me laugh when I was checking today's weather coz on Thu I was silenced 🤫 in class by D as I was talking to T about this.


11th Oct 2023

I had these little bits of information on my phone calendar sometimes as things happen, so now as I'm going thru them and trying to document into my blog I'm picking out the funny things che-che says.

Once when she was driving and there was an accident opposite. I commented "you see...."

She came with the reply "I'm driving, I cannot see." I replied her with a "you hear..."

(she was giggling away while I tried to maintain a serious look on my face when I said that)

she: "He had the mic on throughout the tram.

Confirmed I cannot be a tram driver coz l'll be scolding people the whole ride."

[😂 I think it's the same for me. I'd get booted out the very next day I start work.]

CeLEBraTioN!! 🍾🎉

First thing she told me "mummy, can you unblock my phone now?"





11th Oct 2022

1hr 15 mins later; $21 poorer.

At least all I need to do is to transfer them into the respective wardrobes n bring the small stack for ironing? Or maybe no need to iron? #stillitssoexpensive#




11th Oct 2022


Another day; another 2 huge pile 😂

While lil' one is in school, it's to the self-laundromat near school.

11th Oct 2016


Wow! Listen to this. Now I want to 💃🏼 



11th Oct 2014


Dead tired. Ok so she was suppose to segregate the stuffs ..I noticed she didn't put properly for the P3 stack. Sigh...dowan to think abt how she packed for P4,5,6. I used to have only 1 box for each level. Now it's ...suspect she didn't take out unnecessary stuffs eg. her worksheets. I only need the SA revision papers n SA. I gotta lug the heavy boxes into the storeroom.

Out of frustration, I cleared Aricia's P2 books and papers too. Pray hard teacher don't ask for anything.

It's amazing the studyroom can hold so much stuffs... (if only it's money). Still hv the cabinets with model compo books.

Argh....I'm going to be dead when moving house. So many nitty gritty stuffs




11th Oct 2014


Since she was so free looming and nanoblocking....I made her segregate her PSLE notes (certain subjects) into the existing P3-5 boxes. So I can put them back into the storeroom. I dowan to step into the studyroom, it's in a mess.
