Bringing in The Golden Pig!

The Preparations
15 - 17 Feb 07

With Toddler ANG now putting up at the in-laws, the ANG Mistress is left with loads of freedom at home. The vacuum cleaner and duster are immediately put into action; working very hard in preparation for the Lunar New Year.

The cloths were washed and hung, the glasses polished and everywhere is now spick and span..........all ready for decorations to be put up. The ANG Mistress loves handicrafts. The decorations in fact became easy since it's an all time cute animal - The Pig. The idea was initially to use the Charlotte's Web Wilbur as the main decor


but the idea was not realised because the ANG family found this...!


So after some hard work cutting along the outline edges + decors purchased from the market-place, this decoration came about.....


Toddler ANG's favourite....."Pig, Pig, Oink, Oink"......in Red........Lookalike those China Paper Cuttings. Yay.....Cute.....!
It was pasted all over the house, on the wall, on the table lamp shade, the fridge, the glass sliding door, the lift landing, whatever.....heh heh....

The ANG Master and Mistress had decided to leave the decors up until Toddler ANG returns. Bet he'll be really happy to see so many pigs on the wall.

Year of the Golden Pig
Day 1
The ANG Master had to work early shift this day and only to return in the afternoon. Nothing much better to do, the ANG Mistress caught up with her beauty sleep and woke up only at 11.15am to munch a few pieces of kueh lapis + steaming hot coffee. A very good start indeed, refreshed & energetic.

When the ANG Master returned shortly after noon time, the couple enthusiastically set off to visit the in-laws + Toddler Kiet of course! As both the ANG Master & Toddler ANG had to be kept apart, the couple left the in-laws place not long after being assured that everything is alright with Toddler ANG.

So off to Bukit Batok, our close friend's place for the Lunar New Year visiting and a little gambling session to please our dear friend's mum. The rest of the day continued with the gambling and ended at around 7.15pm. The couple retreated back home to rest since the ANG Master had to work early the next day.

What about the ANG Mistress? Eat the goodies and watch VCDs lor.....heh heh....

Day 2
The ANG Mistress woke up slightly after 8am that day. An appointment was fixed at 9.30am to gather at the ANG Mistress grandma's place in Aljunied. Unfortunately this year, Toddler ANG could not join in the visiting due to the pox. Next year will definitely not miss him out! Rather, we'll bring him out after he is fully recovered, so he can catch up with the outdoor fun.

Talking about Toddler ANG, since photo-taking is not allowed (by the elders) at the moment, here's a recent photo of him.......for those who missed him......


Sidetrack Toddler Update: Toddler ANG has been very active at the in-laws place. He is playing as usual and the parents are very relieve simply knowing that he is very entertained with cable cartoons. His appetite is also normal. Recovery is on the way! Well Done!

The ANG Mistress spent the rest of the afternoon accompanying this precious gem while the ANG Master was at work. She left only at 10.20pm when he fell asleep after milk.

Day 3
Another day with an excuse to wake up late. After some quick breakfast, the couple went on to some more home visiting and gambling sessions before ending the day at 10pm.

How time flies.........work day for the ANG Mistress begins tomorrow!
