mum & her tumour

Mum found out she had a tumour in her braind in 2009, when i was just few months pregnant with lil Jared.. we were devastated.. how could such thing happen, and to my mum..The tumour was diagnosed aftr a MRI was done. the eye doctor was so good, that, the initial suspect from us that mum got cataract, but after the doc examine mum's eye, they found something not right, which to us, nothing is wrong with mum's eye movement.. so it was that, how mum found out she had a tumour on her brain which presses on her left eye nerve.

We went to the neurologist, and my aunt recommend doctor (Assoc Professor) Ivan as her friend's mum had brain tumour and was successfully operater by him. he is the doctor who attend to Lee KY's wife. So, we went to him, he managed to remove mum's tumour, mum was given a all clear and her vision resume after the operation in August 2009.

But, the good news did not last long.. ever since last year, mum started to find her lft eye vision is deteriorating.. i have been asking her to go for check up for her eyes, but she is the typ who do not want to accept reality, as in she rather don't want to know than to know what is going on.. she said, what's there to chck, im already old kinda thing.

well, after discussions with sis, we finally get her to go back to eeye centre, which we were right, we were too ate actually, mum was diagnosed with glaucoma, but the eye pressure was too high, that her vision was affected, it was not reversable, so we did a laser for her to reduce and control her eye pressure, it was done in March. her left eye vision was blurred since. even after the laser procedure, it did not help.

in June, as follow up for her glaucoma, her vision was detected to be detriorating too fast, he eye nerve was weak. so, the panel doctors had a discussions on my mum's case and Dr, Ivan again into the picture, we did anothr round of MRI. they saw a very small tumour (left over) but active, it started to grow around the eye nerve. it's in mm, which to some, it may not pose any problem. but to mum, as the way the tumour grow, it pressed on mum's left eye nerve.

Thus, mum was suggested to do radiosurgery to stop the growth. We wll be doing it end of this month. Mum already went for her consultation for this procedure, did her mask, and will be doing anothe round of pre-procedure MRI & CT scan.

Mum is quite demoalising, but when thing happen, we just have to find cure/solution, yes, it's ok to feel sad about the situation, but we still have to move on..i told her. at least, there is a cure for it, and we are here with her.

Life sometimes is so unpredictable, mum is very healthy, exercises and hardworking, she eats simple and never hve unhealthy habits, and why tumour. it's just unexplainable.

Finger cross, mum will be ok after this radiosurgery.

I wish her nothing but pink of health.

iphone 4 & me

well, i always feel i dont need a phone that has many functions and applications. to me a phone is just or me to sms and call. the simpler the better.

but i guess, sometimes, i must keep up with the trend or technology.. as almost 90% of my cols are using iphone or android.. or anything that is touch screeen and have lots of applications blahhh...

i felt so left out at times, mine is still with keypad and no other functions other than call and sms.. oh dear.. even my uncle col have upgraded his to samsung galaxy touch screen with internet and all.

so, my phone contract expired in June. so, i was tempted for many months.. to get yself a iphone, since the phone bill was covered my company, why not and i can get the phone free, the only thing i need to pay is the data plan, whihc i was reccomended to subscribe only 1G for normal internet usage, so i did and it cots me $9.30(after 7% GST) a month.. a steal i guess..

so, now, im holding a iphone4 16G with so many applications.. i thought i will be having "phone-culturre" shock.. but hey, i just ot into it real fast, the touch screen was no problem at all..

i can online, login to facebok during office hour, just to update status and check my forum on my online purchase, which usually i can only do it at hom.. wooo.. nice, but i feel too much of all these wont be good for human to human interaction. as everyone us busy with their phone..

i ty not to download games and all and will refrain from getting missy to play with my phone as much as possible..

it's convenient to have iphone i must say.. for 21 months.. shall see if i will continue to upgrade to iphone5 muahahha

Round the Clock

i wanted to record my two cherups development and activities we did in March ( too lazy to online at home).. then in April too..( also too lazy to online) so.. now May already.. 2 months just like that.. phew.. i feel old already !

I've been busy with work too, esp weekend i need to go back to do some tasks, IT line is like that, many tasks can only be done during weekends, when no user is accessing the system. But, im happy that each time, i can learnt some new thing from HA(col of mine). i hope i can pick up as much as i can . so that by end of the year i'll be able to do a routing rule all by myself..anyway, i'll try my best

lil Jared started to walk steadily when he turned 13 mth plus. he is like refuse to take his first steps then suddenly he just decided to walk. it's like yesterday not walking, today start walking. amazing. no wonder i heard story from some mummy that their child refuse to talk until 2 or 3.. then one fine day, the child just started to talk and talk kinda thing. unpredictable.

Lil boy is very very fond o his sister, anything the sister do, the next minute, he is doing the same thing as the sister. his actions and development is much faster compare to his sister, he is merely 14 month old, but have the 18 month old behaviour. he can call papa. popo, jie jie, ball ball, pai pai( praying), mum mum( eating), kai kai except mummy.. how sad.. it's the exact same thing as his sister. oh dear.. ut he is still very attached to me, i cannot go out of his sight if im at home. gesss.. missy was not like that !

We have started ballet for missy since beginning of April. She is enjoying it so much ! that she said she is ballerina whenever it's weekends. She has grown so much, that i talk to her like talking to a adult friend now. as she understands many things now and super kaypoh.. anything we do, she will observe and ask..

Shall updates photos when i got the time to do it. I've been active in kiasu parents forum recently (the only forum tt i can access from office).. and is learning lots of kiasu things to educate children from those kiasu parents.. muahaha.. quite interesting actually.

10 food that woman should eat

extracted from asiaone news. tot it might be a reminder for me !

1) Butternut squash
Butternut squash — like many other yellow/orange fruit and vegetables — is packed with carotenoids such as alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. While carotenes should be included in everybody's diet for optimum health, they may prove essential to women's health as a high-carotenoid diet has been linked to lowered risks of both breast and ovarian cancer.
2) Salmon
Salmon has a multitude of positive health benefits for women. Not only is it rich in iron — which is integral to the diets of premenopausal women — but it is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, known for their mood-enhancing effects. Studies have suggested that omega-3 can help beat depression (something that affects twice as many women as men) and prevent mood swings, while salmon can also boost babies' intelligence when eaten during pregnancy.
3) Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids and have been linked to reduced risk of breast cancer and heart disease. The seeds' anti-inflammatory properties are also good for preventing arthritis, while their digestive benefits can help irritable bowel syndrome; two painful conditions which are more prevalent in women than men.
4) Tomatoes
Another vibrant carotenoid beneficial for women's health is lycopene, a pigment found in tomatoes. Studies have suggested that lycopene may be effective in preventing breast cancer. Furthermore, there has been considerable evidence to suggest that the powerful antioxidant can help reduce risk of heart disease — the leading cause of death in women in the US, Australia, England and Wales.
5) Cranberries
Various studies have suggested strong links between consuming cranberries and reduced risks of breast cancer and heart disease. However, the most notorious benefit of cranberries is their ability to prevent and cure urinary tract infections such as cystitis, which is eight times more likely to occur in women than men. One study suggests that drinking two glasses of cranberry juice a day can prevent the symptoms of common UTIs in women.
6) Spinach
Spinach is rich in many different vitamins and minerals, but one thing that makes it great for women is its high content of magnesium. Research has shown that magnesium may be beneficial in reducing many of the physical symptoms of PMS which plague women, including reduction of swelling, breast tenderness, bloating and weight gain.
7) Figs
Figs are a great health food, containing many vital minerals and vitamins as well as contributing to your daily portions of fruit and veg. Two minerals found in figs that are particularly beneficial to women's health are iron, which is often deficient in menstruating women, and calcium, which is important for post-menopausal women, who are more prone to osteoporosis.
8) Milk
Milk is a great source of calcium, which is extremely beneficial to women's health, particularly when combined with vitamin D (found in some varieties of milk and many fortified milk products). Consumption of the combined nutrients is not only good for warding off osteoporosis, but a study has suggested that a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D could ease, or even prevent, symptoms of PMS.
9) Oats
Oats are literally packed with health-boosting nutrients, many of which have great impacts on female health. Oats are not only great for heart health, digestion and blood pressure levels (with hypertension affecting many women over 50), but they contain vitamin B6, which can help prevent PMS and mood swings, and folic acid, which is important for women to consume before and during pregnancy to prevent birth defects in babies.
10) Walnuts
While all nuts are great for our health, walnuts have many great individual benefits for women. A study has recently found that walnuts, which are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytosterols, may help to reduce women's risk of developing breast cancer, while their high omega-3 content may also help bone health, arthritis pain and depression. Walnuts also contain many nutrients essential for female health, such as calcium, magnesium and folic acid.

My NEW YEAR Resolution

another late post, which i have written in office but no time to online from home to post it.

I looked back my Y2010 Resolutions..
1. Stay HEALTHY. HAPPY. Be a beter person than Y2009.
2. Get back to my prepregnancy weigh after giving birth
3. Travel to HK or BKK..(with new bb, im not so sure to)
4. Be a better mummy
5. Invest wisely
6. Learn to save more than spend more.. bad habit

well, i have been trying to stay healthy this year, it's better, no more flu and stuff, i went back to my fitness centre in october (right after i stopped breastfeeding) and i have been a regular to weekday's lunch time classes.

I feel fitter but i still have lots of fats to get rid of.. and i've been follow up with my medical checkup closely now, as we age, more and more problem will come. finger cross,

a better person ? i think im trying..but i still get complaints from mum hubby of my hot temper and being unreasonable.. k area to work on.

travelling - only back to home town.. sigh.

be a better mummy ? learning to be one.. i feel very loved by my girl. she is such a passionate girl that she tells me she loves me, she likes me..almost daily

Investment wise, my portfolio has been growing. Am happy for the extra "bonus" earned this year. hoping for better bonuses next year.

i still spend and spend.. but more consciously i hope..

I feel after i gave birth to lil Jared in Feb and enjoyed my maternity leave of 4 months, i have learnt to slowly get back to my life.. a working lady's life. I re-join fitness centre, signed up spa sessions, i shop, buy new clothes, buy new shoes..i shop online. (that's the thrill of being a financially independent woman). I enjoy being with my children when im at home and all weekends. i palns for our outings, weekends acivities. I make sure my girl do her Shichida worksheet at least 3 days a week.

I try to reflect what i've done on the day before sleep. i still regrets on certain actions that i've done, which i feel i can make it better. I still feel im not at the level that i can see everyone as the same, i still not at the level that i can humble down,

So, What's my Y2011 resolution? i guess it'll be the same area again..

1. Health
Keeping in check of my check-ups, exercise regularly(fitness centre). more greens in my diet. i would love to detox on weekly basis (on vege juice for meals).

2. Career
many changes in my department due to changes in management, but we are still comfortable with our area of work. My concentration is still on the system that i support. a huge relocation project goin on which we will be in new place by end of this year. a very inconvenient area, sigh. no more shopping during lunch i guess. shall see how la.

3. Family
concentrate on bringing up my two cherups. lil missy is turning 4 in Sept. lots of learning in the pipeline. english, chinese, mathematics. Shichida has many new things for 4 yo class too. Am trying to get her to do her worksheet/recital/memory training, her chinese word recognition, mathematics recital (yes recital in a rhythm). im keeping a record on my diary on what i do with her on weekly basis. As for didi, i will try to get him to see flash cards.

As for LGG, i still have lots of dissatisfaction, i still think he can do more and better as a husband and father. i feel that he always think i can handle things, yes, when im in good mood/condition. No when i feel exhasted from all the works/tasks/chores. It will be helpful if he can share the loads. a simple thing like what to eat for dinner is also a chore if im being loaded with things like work/handling the kids etc.. i still feel he should observe and not wait for me to tell him everything that needs his attention.
tt's why woman seldom get Alzheimer cos our brain is working all the time.

Besides this part, he is still a very NICE hubby,appreciate all his support and understandings. i wish im calm like him in any situations


4. Travelling
I hope to travel to at least one oversea country this year. it's the 4th year that i have not travelled. thinking of bringing the two little ones along. shall see how the plan goes.

5. All-about-Me
ok. i still have to keep telling me, to calm down in many situation, not to get hot temper. not to be so blunt. not to raise my voice when angry. just BE NICE. how hard is it right? is it stress that i always feel i over react to situation ?


alright, it's abt all i can think of.. just wish me luck in achieving the above. and hope for a better year for my family and myself.

Work Life

yesterday we celebrated boss's 57th bday in office.. i bought him swensen mango tango ice cream. which is nice and he loves mango.

He had done my appraisal last week. Im happy with his review over my performance eventhough i have been away for 4 months maternity leave. i really enjoyed the flexibility here that my boss gave me. and i can se myself mature into the role that im doing now too. Hopefully, with the version upgrade next year, i can pick up more knowledge for my role.

yesterday also, one bad news for Jen. Her hubby met with an accident. he was on motorcycle and was knocked down by a stupid car who did a wrong turn. his calf bones were fractured, both bones. imagine that. so he will need an operation and prolong mc for sure to recuperate. Shall visit him coming Friday.

Coming Sunday, we shall go to my company's xmas party in Universal Studios. So excited. just hope the weather is good, the company is fun !

Tmw and Friday i will be on leave to clear my final two days for this year as i can only bring fwd 5 days to 2011. after that i shall have to work even weekends until 16th Dec before my long leave. as HA is on leave, i have to backup him. i can foresee how busy i am but im happy too cos that's when i pick up lots of things. when he is around, he likes to handle things and leave me only those not so critical ones.

anyway, we shall welcome 2011, with more work, more challenges and i feel more ready for work now. Happy working !

My Green Lunch

Last week, im trying to extend my detox sessions to my lunch.. so, i have been eating salad for one week.i feel fresh after my lunch and i dun feel hungry until dinner, which is great.

I bought some salad green like romanian and lettuce, then cheery tomatoes, black grapes, celery, carrot (shreded), purple cabbage (shreded), steamed corn (peel out freshly from corn), then i use organic vinegar+estra virgin olive oil+whole grain mustard+honey to make dressing.

I keep my salad in fridge until lunch time. i usually have them after my work-out about 2pm.

I change a bit on friday, by adding some plum and apples as i have finished my corn, purple cabbage, carrot.




i have also been drinking vegetable juice early in the morning as breakfast (tt's one thing good abt having maid, as she can help me prepare all these), the ingredients are (5 greens)

1. small bitter guard
2. celery
3. green pepper
4. green apple
5. cucumber

i add carrot, and sometimes one orange. i dun feel anything special, as i drink it on alternate morning, as i try not to do it everyday, cos worried too cooling for the body.

So, next week, i shall start my wholemeal sandwich week. shall post my lunch again :)

Kick.Box.Sweat

Today i went for kick boxing class which i have not attended for 4 years long. and i only survived the class for 30 mins.. it really require much more stamina than i have.
I have decided to join weekly till i can complete the whole 1 hour class. It was so exciting and so much power. But given my body that has been resting and not moving in that fast pace for so long. i cant even continue to kick and punch like and auntie in the class.. she can even shout louder than me at every exucution of a kick and punch.. Oh mine.. i feel so lousy ! haa..

determination is the key. I know i can be better than the auntie.. i take her as my benchmark first.. slowly go up to the chio bu in class.. heee..

Happy working out in gym ! i love sweating it out !

I am Amore. I am More

Last week, i signed up fitness centre membership for 3 years and this week, i signed up 20 sessions of massage sessions. Do i love myself ? Yes, i do. and i think it's time to pamper myself for all the sacrifices for the past 4 years. I have not done a steam bath for 4 years. yes, 4 long years. The last time i went for steam bathed was when i have not have children. in Y2006. After that, i have been devoted my life with pregnancy and child-birth.

I always enjoyed gym sessions and classes like pilates/yoga/kick boxing... but haven got time to do all these anymore since missy's arrival into my life. i would want to spend all my waking hours with her and now with little boy too. But i think about it.. I have decided to not giving birth anymore.. i should start to look good, at least feel fit like last time.

So, i signed up those packages.. which i can do it during lunch hour, as amore just opened a branch near my office, perfect i must say. But i cant guarantee for the next 2 years as my office may shift soon. sigh.

So, i shall get my butt up and get moving.. hopefully i can stay fit and healthy. as i always feel i am. used to be.. haaa

My day in & day out

20th July 2010

I remembered recording my daily routine before didi was born. Now, my life is back to certain routine again, new routine and comfortable. Partly because mum is staying with us and she is sleeping with lil missy. So we are not so “busy”

So, morning I will go to work as usual, night, I take care of didi’s night feed, night poo, night cry. Missy is now sleeping through the night, diaper free. So it’s considered effortless to sleep with her at night. Mum doesn’t need to get up to make milk. She too can sleep through. I’m really thankful that missy is able to wean off her milk and diaper free at the right time. So that mum is not tired as she helps to look after didi in the day when LGG & I go to work. Maid intervenes by helping mum with didi. She will play with him, help to heat up my EBM, help to carry didi if required, and help to clean up didi’s mess like after pooing. Washing of milk bottles, sterilizing milk bottles twice a day. When missy is at home, she will help to unpack her school stuff, repack with clean ones, prepare her dinner, and sometimes help to feed her if I need to bath early.

So far, the maid is helping a lot. But, still she has this and that doing wrongly or not my standard. But, I’m fine with her so far. Thankful again, things are going this way now, which ease up a lot of my energy and I can have time to play with my kids. Even with maid, I very much a hands-on mum, who insisted to bath missy, feed her, read to her , talk to her, discipline her as well. I find it weird to have maid to be in class with my child, cos there are maids in missy’s shichida’s class, their parents will leave the child with the maid in the class. How can parents ask the maid to take over this role? One mummy some more said wants her maid to learn how to flash cards for her girl. Shake head.

While in office, I usually will call home to check on things once or twice a day as mum dislikes too many calls which will interrupt didi’s nap. In the office, I will pump milk twice, once in the morning about 11am, once in the afternoon about 3pm. 4 intervals in between. So my work has to be planned around this time. I make sure my meetings are either 2pm or if clash, I have to adjust my milk express timing. So, basically im quite busy lor.. But these days I cant blog in office, so I can have more time doing these. Just nice la.

After work, usually I can leave at 430pm (boss is super undersrtanding, he asks me to go home at this time, if everything is in good hand.) of course, knowing that I can go early, I usually finish all my work before this time. Hee. Then I will go home directly carrying my on the go fridge containing my milk for didi’s meal. Hee

Usually I will reach home around 5pm, then I will eat something, mum usually will ask maid to boil some tonic soup for me. Really thankful to her, with these tonic soup, I can go further and not collapse. *appreciate it a lot mum* After that , I will go downstairs to pick up lil missy, around 530pm , except Tuesday where she has Kindermusic class, I will then pick her up at 620pm.
When missy is home, we will be busy, as we cannot leave didi on his play gym on the floor, as we worried lil missy will step on him or stumble on him. So, we have to clear the floor/gym/mat. Carry didi , unlikely didi will be sleeping now, as lil missy will be making so much noises… playing her piano, singing, or whatever action will wake her didi up.

I will then get missy to drink freshly grind apple juice. Or green bean soup * depends on whether we cook something, else, it’s always fresh apple juice*, then let her watch her Leap frog or we listen to her Kindermusic CD or linking memory CD. I will usually bath her around 630pm, then wipe clean didi (we only bath him once in the morning now). Then, around 7pm, I will feed lil missy her dinner, usually rice. Then, we watch tv while feeding her. I will then eat my dinner so with mum. LGG usually eat later as he comes home later at abt 730pm.

At 8 or 8plus, usually, we will get her to go to her room, to read story book to her by LGG. Or we will play with didi, see him turn and talk to him. He will answer us back loudly haa.

About 830 to 845pm, we will switch off light, get missy to sleep, then I will bring didi to my room, where his cot is and get him to sleep, sometimes he need to suck a bit of milk. After that, I have my time to read a bit of magazine or book. Recently I started the book about chef Gordon Remsay. I’m very interested in his life haa.. how he become such a successful chef. So much hard work ! That’s how I spend my typical weekday.

As for weekend, we have a different schedule. Mum will go to sis place on weekend (not now, as sis still in argentina). So we will sleep together in mum’s room. Missy with LGG, me with didi on bed. Usually didi will get back around 7am, either cos pooing or refuse to sleep again after morning feed. So, we will go to living room, play a bit. Missy will get up by then, catch her sesame street by 8am. Sometimes we will do our marketing and get home before 1030am, as I need to bath missy , feed her lunch before making her to take her early nap by 12noon. Cos her class starts at 2:30pm, we need to leave home by 1:30pm. Then in laws takes over didi. Sometimes we will go over to in laws house, sometimes we stay at our home. Didi now recognize people and place, he will cry a lot when he sees his grandpa or go to his grandparent’s place *shake head*

If in laws bring didi to their place (just 2 streets away), we will go to their house after class and have dinner there. Missy likes to go to her grandparents’ home.

Sunday is the best day of the week, as we can laze at home. No activities usually, missy will play her toys.. painting or watch her dvd. Didi will play with us. Sometimes we go to wet market to buy fish and missy get to see and feel the atmosphere in the wet market.

That’s my days after second baby came along. My life still very busy around my kids. I rarely have time to paint my nails (only did it during maternity leave) or even shave. Haa.. babies quick grow up then I can have more ME time.

Daily routine

Weekday, my daily routine is almost the same.. so shall reocrd my daily routine before my second bb arrives and compare the changes.

Monday to Friday (missy's going to childcare)

615am : Get up ( if missy never gets up earlier than this)

630am: bathed and prepare breakfast for LGG & myself. Maid usually will prepare the ingredients , thins like fruits, or egg/ham etc. and make ready missy's bottle/bag to school.i will have my milk and fruits at home

7am: usually, by now, missy will have her morning feed of milk and ready to brush teeth, change into her school uniform. LGG will be bathing by now

7:15 to 730am: entertain missy with whatever, like tie her hair, or some short reading/drawing. LGg will be ready to go to work by now

730 to 745am: LGG, me, maid will bring missy down to school i will leave half way to take bus, LGG & maid bring missy to childcare, which is opposite.

815am: reach office, have my breakfast, usually bread

4:30pm to 515pm: leave office, take bus go home and pick missy, with maid waiting for me at bus stop.

530pm: usually, we will be at home by now, i will make apple juice for missy or some green bean soups, maid prepared earlier. maid will be preparing dinner now

6:30pm: maid will bath missy, while i also bath.

7pm: i feed missy dinner and we watch some tv.

730pm to 8pm: LGG will be home for dinner, and i will have mine together. while missy will either drink her soup or mess around.

8:15pm tp 9pm: time to get missy to her room, LGG will read story book for missy, feed missy her night feed, she will usually doze off by 9pm

9pm to next morning: i will sleep along with missy. LGG do whatever he likes until his bed time at midnight.


so, you see.. i basically live my life with missy, i dun have much personal time to do many things now. i wonder what will happen when new bb comes. maybe cos im pregnant so i need more rest. maybe i can sleep later to catch up on things.. my study table is piling up again.. sob.

LGG daily report

Ever since Novermber 2009, we have changed our schedule by letting LGG bringing Missy to childcare in the morning, and i pick her up from childcare in the evening. This is to ensure missy wont make fuss when i give birth and doing my confinement, and cant send her to school in the morning. and also i want more bonding time between LGG and missy.

So, here's what i've gathered in my sms since Nov'09. quite interesting.

Pack of Omega3

Saturday we went down to Marine Parade to get our Salmon, which is on offer at 99 cents per 100g and surprisingly Cod also on offer at $2.99 per 100 g

So we quickly grab both.. haaa.. kiasu..

The salmon is about 4kg.. and the Cod is just 1kg plus and already they cost us almost 90 bucks..

but i find worth it if were to buy on normal days..usually, i will just buy the salmon/cod from market which cost much higher, but since i believe in pumping omega 3to missy and my family, i will still buy even if cost more. but i always keep a look out for whole fish offer, then we can buy at one go..

The Salmon is very red and fresh. cod seems normal.


Yipee.. we shall have our cod and salmon for the coming weeks.. now wanna think of what vary ways to prepare them. usualy, i just steam or bake salmon in oven. maybe this round, i can do something different ?

Healthy Food !

Gals gathering

F4 (Female 4) suppose to meet on sat for some makaning,.. then my missy start to show some symptoms that she is falling sick.. she keep sleeping even after getting up at 730am..(her usual is before 7am).. then she started to develope fever.. oh no..so we quickly bring her to see doctor before the F3 arrived.

what a timing.We just went back to childcare for one week, and she is sick again. simply made me wonder have i made a wrong decision to put her in childcare ? heartache to see her sick and cough with phlegm.

Well, while LGG look afte missy who sleeps most of the time(unusual) usually when she has fever, she is still quite active, but this round she appeared very tired and kep sleeping. worried me.

Anyway, we had simpler food today, my steam chocolate cake, salad, roast chicken, pasta and jia's apple pie, some fruits.. already we felt so full.

Good to have such gathering for busy people like us.. just to catch up on one another's life. and i realised that we forgot to take a picture together.. Alamak. haaa.. just some shots of the food.
