We went for

Kiet's 3rd dental review today.
.

.
This time at a dental centre located within NUH.
.
Kiet enjoyed his dental experience very much as Dr Mok was really very patient and interestingly explaining dear son's tooth condition to him hence he probably found it very pleasant.
.
Dr Mok found decolouration on the front upper row of Kiet's tooth and that was mainly attributed by the fact that Kiet is still drinking milk from his bottle - a habit since infant time that's hard to kick away, especially whenever he's at home.
.
After treating one of his front decolouration, Dr Mok decided that the treatment was enough; at least for his first experience and advised Mummy to bring him back again soon for the other tooth's decolouration treatment.
.

Before leaving Dr Mok's clinic, Ms Yvonne, the nurse assistant gave Kiet a variety of stickers to choose from and our dear boy picked a few stickers of Lightning McQueen and Ben 10 along with dinosaurs and Winnie-the-Pooh. What a boy! He even mentioned that he's going to share and show his stickers to his school-mates when he returned.
.
and Yes, the next appointment with Dr Mok is another 3 weeks time - Definitely. Mummy is so happy with the experience too!

39


.
is just 25 With 14 Years Of Experience!
.
.
Haa.......today, we're dedicating this post to greet "Happy Hatch Day" to our dearest Master ANG; who is a son, a husband, a father, a worthy friend and a breadwinner in our household!
.
May everyday continue to be YOUR DAY! Wishing you All the Goodness & the Best in life!
.

We're Brewing

a home-made concoction last evening.
.

.
A Mummy and son joint efforts, making a surprise for our Master ANG and he'll get to see it when he returns tomorrow from work.
.

Last weekend

is a breeze, ...........finally.
.
Dear son is well back to his normal self since Friday and we welcomed Daddy back in town at Terminal 2 on Saturday morning, in the company of Ms Wong and dear son's buddy Poh Ong.
.
We ordered some snacks & drinks at YA KUN while waiting for Daddy's arrival at Belt 31.
.

.
Dear son was excited upon sighting his daddy as he had missed Daddy badly over the past few days; moreover having been ill earlier. On the other hand, the father had worried his heart sick over dear boy's health. We can tell that he is definitely very relieved seeing a lively and cheerful boy when he returns.
.
.
While on Sunday, we left for Robinsons at Centrepoint after Mummy gets her household chores done in the morning. Mummy had promised to bring dear son out for a while since he had behaved well and of course, the fact that he was confined at home earlier to nurse his health. Daddy had to report for work on Sunday morning hence no point idling at home; that would be a waste for the rest of us.
.
Both mum and son enjoyed their
Robinson's shopping. Adding some more boxers for Daddy, another pair of shoes for Mummy and buying a steel WMF pan at a mere 19 bucks.
.

.
After paying for our loots, we found a seat at the Toast Box for a late tea-break. Dear son had his toast and milo while Mummy ordered a cup of hot tea to quench her thirst.
.
Not long, we're on our way to pick up our "L", heading for nap-time at home. Evening, needless to say, after a home-cooked dinner, all of us rested our feet and await for the next week to arrive.
.

I'm fighting

away the Zzzzzzz-monster in the office today.
.
After several days of managing in-between work, home and a sick child, I'm almost on the verge of walking on thin line - falling ill myself. The rushing about and humid weather is definitely not helping so the herbal tea is of great help for the time being.
.

.
Feeling really tired after 3 nights of late & disturbed sleep, it's harder today to fight that Zzzzzzz-monster. While still trying to win the sleepy battle, I'll continue to fight on and endure until Daddy returns on Saturday - so I can hand-over the family baton and rest for a while.
.

Another

hectic day starts right from this early morning.
.
Sensing that dear son's fever is not so usual after all, Mummy decided to bring her boy to the doctor today before bringing him to his granny's. While queuing for dear son's turn, Mummy quickly brought him to his favourite Provence cafe for a simple wassant breakfast.
.
.
Truth beholds! Mummy's told that Kiet is down due to another tonsillitis inflammatory. SIGH!!!!! Why that again?!? Mummy is so heart wrecked after hearing that her dear son's tonsils are making him sick.
.
All thanks to Dr Linda Ng for her detailed and thorough checkup, we finally left the family doctors' with a bagful of medications after spending almost 45mins there.
.
Dear son was settled with granny after the clinical consultation while Mummy headed out for work. By evening, Mummy fetches her dear boy home and give him another round of medications for his inflammation.
.
Fortunately for Mummy, dear son is without much fuss despite his condition which makes Mummy more assured and confident while Daddy is now outstationed.
.
and Oh..........., for the benefit of Kiet's daddy, here's a little message from the lovely boy to you:
.
.

Today is mostly spent

nursing dear son's fever.
.
He was found to be lethargic and running a fever during dinner-time last evening after returning from the daycare.
.
With the recent unpredictable weather condition, no wonder most people are coughing, sneezing, down with flu or fever. Sigh - This is THE FLU SEASON for a tropical place like ours!
.
Still looking cheerful despite the temperature, Mummy brought her dear boy out for lunch at IMM to keep him happy instead of being coped up at home. At the same time, shop for groceries for dinner. Aunty Christina happened to be free today hence mummy invited her to join in the lunch session
.
.
Dear son is so happy to be out in the mall. He was in high spirits being able to come out from the house and have a few hours of open space!
.
Dinner is consumed at the comfort of home and Mummy invited Aunty Christina over for a meal since it's more logical to cook for at least 3 pax. The evening was then simple, completed with a plate of fruits and for dear son, medicine! Hopefully, dear son gets well in a day or two.
.

Packing

Yup that's right.
.
.
We're doing the last few packing job after putting dear son to bed. Indeed we're one of those few travellers undeterred by the Influenza A flu outbreak but decided to go ahead with our flying plans tomorrow afternoon.
.

Dancing Boy

That's right.
.
Our shyless boy is showing off his stance while listening to Jolin's new song - 大丈夫.
.

.
That's one way to spend the weekend eh?

Happy May Day 2009!

We idled this morning thinking of where to hang out. Before long, we landed at Holland-V for our breakfast at Provence followed by a trip down to the Horse-City at Turf club road.
.
We only realised when we arrived there; that there's no pony feeding or horse riding this morning. The only place packed is "PICOTIN", packed with diners. We guess it's perhaps due to the public holiday.
.
With a disappointed child with us, we had to quickly change our morning plan. We U-turned and headed home to grab our swimming gear. Yes, to the swimming pool - here we come!
.

.
While the dad and his son enjoy their dip, Mummy took the opportunity to quickly turn around "L". Mummy gave "L" a quick water splash to clear the surface dirt/mud, added a detailed internal wipe and carpet vacuum. By 1pm, the family packed up, shower the child and headed home for the delayed lunch. The Zzzzzzz-monster took over the limelight shortly after lunch and washing up.
.
.
By evening, we chose to check out Toa Payoh central for dinner since we've not been to that area for a long time. After dinner proper, we shopped around those nitty grtty shops and later to chance upon a huge tentage area of "Pasar Malam" stalls nearby the Library.
.

.
Our family loved "Pasar Malam" for the food and the nitty items sold at the market. Most of the items are very interesting and when one is lucky, one might get something he/she like at a cheap price. We hung around until almost at 9.30pm that we decided to return home. After shower, dear son is cuddled to sleep while the parents glued themselves to a little movie-date before ending the May day. How we wish we could always have a longer weekend huh?
.

.
Happy Labor Day Everyone!

Ohhhh......Stiff Neck!

Yeah yes,..................I woke up this morning to be greeted by a stiff and acute neck pain located on my right that lasts the entire day even while typing this blog entry.
.
No matter how I tried to stretch, here, there..........apply finger pressure on the affected spot on my right neck and shoulder areas, IT JUST DOES NOT WORK!
.

.
Arrgghhhh..........looks like my only solution is - dear hubby's pressure point massage, hopefully able to release that particular vein that is 'stuck'. Thank Heavens for this husband!!!

We have been

surrounded by flu infested environment these days while we notice flu outbreak is getting even more common in the recent years.
.
.
Back at home, both Mistress and Master have been eagerly nursing their mild flu-virus since last weekend in case they spread it to their dear boy - result of which will be worst for them. Patients waiting at the clinic are also mostly nursing their flu, cough, running nose....you name it, all related to the nasal path.
.
and there's this new widely-spread swine-flu that is not helping the situation, sending out its' virus and reaching out to the far away lands. WHEN WILL THIS EVER END?
.

We greeted Happy Birthday to

dear father-in-law yesterday!
.

.
Had the day celebrated simply via a lunch arranged at The Line in Shangri-La. This location is especially chosen for Dad-in-law, since he once worked at The Shang hotel hence the place would definitely bring back some memorable memories for him on his special day.
.
We've kept it simple yet thoughtful since the rest of their family members had either to report to work or have their own businesses to mind. Nevertheless, we brought the folks for lunch, followed by a leisure chat at the lobby lounge as planned.
.
End of the day, we've got the folks very pleased and satisfied.
.

鍾(Chung) 老师出嫁了

......yes...........this special lady played an important role during my early childhood days as she is one of the few chinese teachers that dotes on me very much while I was placed in Kinderland @Polytechnic.
.
On this very afternoon, our family was one of the privileged invited to her marriage solemnisation held at The 'Fisherman of Christ' fellowship located along Margaret Drive.
.

.
At 2pm sharp, the ceremony began.
.
She appeared totally radiant and happy while all the guest after prayers and praise, witnesses how the Master of Ceremony entrusts her lifetime happiness to long-time boyfriend - Chan Kuen, now her husband.
.
After benediction and recessional, the blessed & newly-wed couple marches out of the ceremony - totally immersed with happiness. As a couple ourselves, we STILL can't believe Ms Chung has finally joined our league!
.
.
百世修来同船渡,千载修得共枕眠 - It is fate and yuanfen that brings two persons together, value an encounter and treasure a relationship. We want to congratulate & wish our dear 鍾(Chung) 老师 & Chan Kuen - 祝你们白头谐老, 生活幸福美满!

Earth Day 2009

is marked on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, that is TODAY.
.
.
Our family take it as a civil commitment irregardless whether it is a matter of reducing food or daily necessities wastage. In fact, such action ought to be a habit and part of us in our daily lives.
.
On this Earth Day, it is even more obvious & significant to us that we should observe and remind ourselves over again, that the earth nurtures & sprouts raw materials that have kept us humans alive since ancient times, hence here we are, let us all pledge to ReUse, ReDuce and ReCycle our daily necessities, whether or not others laugh or mind our act, or treat us as a stingy freak or any matter to that - ignore those ignorance!
.
In fact this video is worth the view. Just look at our daily food wastage but that wastage becomes someone elses dinner!
.
.
.
We are nothing, except simple beings just trying to make Mother Earth more lovely; but for Our Future Offspring.
.

Staycation

Yup, we're responding to the local gimmick that is going around in order to promote spending, more spending. Guess what would happen if everyone holds onto their monies? We'll each get richer what else?!?
.
Hahaha, joke aside............but of course we cannot forget about contributing to our motherland can we...........So Singapore, here we are, throwing in some $$$$$ contributions to the economy!
.
.
and where, Yes,...........to the nearby Rasa Sentosa Resort on Sunny Sentosa island, today that is. Take it as a family break, a retreat, away from stress and economy downturn, gossips and bitchy work matters whatever you call it...........(the parents had to keep their handphones on though......due to their work nature - yucks!!!)
.
.
Rasa Sentosa Resort by Shangri-La claims that they are a favourite destination for fun and relaxation, offering garden or sea views through their individual balconies. In fact when we first step into the resort premise, we indeed felt our muscles relaxed. However, the knocking sounds we hear in our room immediately after checking in is NO FUN!
.
Lasting for almost an hour, the knocking on our roof, although gentle but frequent made us go on our nerves after 10 minutes listening to that interupting sound. Of course, the parents made an effort and confirmed with the hotel that they were indeed fixing the carpet of the room above ours that afternoon. OH YEAH, thanks - We didn't come all the way into the resort for that and unfortunately for us, the hotel didn't seem to express regret for that too! So much so for a Shangri-La, points deducted!
.
By late afternoon, we managed to seek peace and quiet while waiting for dear son to wake from his nap. Not long, we took our haversack with us and hopped out of our room, ready to check out the nearby attractions, take a few pictures and settle for dinner as well.
.

.
The next highlight upon return to our resort after dinner is definitely to check out the pool. The 3 of us spent at least an hour soaking up the ambient and enjoying the dip in the water. At night, after Kiet fell asleep, we sat chatting while sipping our aroma coffee; discussing over some plans or sorts.
.
The morning breakfast at Silver Shell Cafe for 3 of us was very enjoyable. Dear son ate a lot of food while also keeping himself busy doodling on a piece of paper. After breakfast programme entails another dip in the pool followed by table tennis game before packing to check out the resort by 1pm.
.
Our staycation, although not that perfect but has met 2 key objectives 1) is beneficial enough, to wind up the body cells and gear us for further challenges ahead; 2) we contributed to the nation by spending haven't we.....hehehe....
.

I am pondering

about a few matters.
.
.
Probably take a couple of days to sort it out I hope. It feels empty like an empty vessel but one still has got to take a grip over it.

This Weekend

is pure hiding away from the intense heat and humidity!
.
The sun was already shinning so fiercely since 10am daily on both Saturday and Sunday that our family took hiatus most of the time at home in the comfort of an air-conditioned room.........oppssss..........yes, although not very friendly to the environment but the heat is simply unbearable.
.
.
We still managed to fit an early picnic on Saturday morning in the park. By late morning, we left for home and got some household chores done, then headed down to IKEA at Alexandra with Aunty Christina for lunch as she needed to get something there.
.
In the same afternoon, caught the regular afternoon nap and woke up to nearing dinner-time. Changed and went to Bukit Batok to try the Teochew Fish Porridge recommended by Aunty Christina. Then some grocery buying at our neighbourhood's FairPrice and called the day off shortly.
.
Sunday morning is a little bit more interesting. Still getting used to the unbearable heat at home, both Mum and son got the bread materials prepared and pushed the "START" button for the bread maker to do it's job. About 3plus hours later nearing lunch time, the loaf is all ready and piping hot from the oven!
.
.
Another successful bake.....hmmm.......seems like this is the 3rd trial? Got to keep up the bread making momentum though.......otherwise it's another few months of white elephant.........hehehehe
.
The usual routine followed, ate lunch at home, freshen up and both mum & son got cosy for nap time. Evening hour arrives quite shortly and dinner was served to the family when Daddy got home from work.
.
Here's how a typical weekend passed, as for our case...haha.....while we prepare for a brand new exciting week to come!
.

We spent

our recent family weekend washing our "L" in the morning after the parents received a quickie 30 minutes sensory massage done at The Ultimate spa but was also quickly disappointed by the packages they are offering in the midst of a financial slowdown.
.
We then idled around in Holland Village on the Saturday evening after our dinner there. Mum and Dad caught a movie in the comfort of our home till late after dear son went to bed.
.

.
.
On Sunday, we visited The Singapore Zoological Garden early in the morning but left the premise before noon due to a constant drizzle that was seemingly going to last the entire day. True enough it did. Hence drop the Zoo outing, ran some errands after that and returned home to meet the afternoon zzzzzzz monster......
.
Finally, after rested our souls, we lazed the sunday evening away waiting for Monday blues monster to arrive.....kekekeke.
.

Our first visit to

a "Saraca Palace"
.
No, no, no.....it's not a palace per se but the house is so nicely done up that it resembles a little sanctuary, a palace in the eyes of its owner and us, the visitors.......hehehe.
.
It's located at the Saraca terrace district - it's a house-warming party of Mummy's superior.
.
.
The place is fantastic. Huge enough to incorporate a garden, a huge KOI pond, a swimming pool, an outdoor pavilion and outdoor toilet........blah blah blah....you name it all. However, expensive to maintain and upkeep for us......but oh well, we do want to congratulate the new Owner for the beautiful place he has got for himself and his family! Good job for buying such a beautiful place!
.
.
Oh by the way, we also hoped everyone had a Happy Easter Day too!
.
.

Our first Theatre date

for the year starts right today, and it happens to be a Good Friday public holiday!
.
Luckily for us, little one recovered well in time from his fever hence both mum & son are all set for a morning theatre date.
.

.
Armed with a packet of fresh milk and his favourite cream wassant, both of us finished our morning bite and strolled to the DBS Arts Centre enjoying the mum and son date, while chatting away about the play that we're watching later. It's pre-theatre briefing......hahahahaha.
.
.
.
Brought to us by the folks from The Little Company of Singapore Repertory Theatre, "Bear and Chicken Go Camping" goes about 2 little best friends - the bear and the chicken - both going on a camping trip for the 1st time in the wild. They searched, settled down on a spot and throughout the camping experience, they make a lot of small discoveries about the environment around them.
.

.
Little one was mostly amused throughout the play, occasionally laughing loudly like the other children in the theatre. It's so unlike him earlier, when he looked rather stern looking (as per his usual character) upon entering the theatre but relaxed soon after the performance starts.
.
After the play ended, the audiences were all beginning to make their exit but little one wandered away the opposite direction instead - towards the stage to get nearer and closer look at the props onstage - it's interesting to see how intrigued he was and that shows he loved the theatre experience.
.
When asked, little one expresses interest and requests for another theatre experience again - and that's Hooray......cos the efforts to instill arts and creativity is slowly starting to reward! Well done boy!
.

I'm shocked and

to be offended by a young man, who was at the time of the incident yesterday evening, wearing his SAF Uniform bearing his name.
.
Whoever you are, I have noted down your name and I'm not going to let you get off easily, for passing that offensive and insulting "word" deliberately at me - a woman, moreover in your SAF uniform, disgracing your family, your country and the society.
.
Remember, you may be young and being impulsive brings you nothing but trouble. You are nothing but a waste to me and something ought to happen in order to teach you to behave. After all, you forgot that there's a code available, intended to protect the modesty of a woman.
.
I'll be looking forward for justice to be done to claim a woman's modesty, correct & teach wasted person like you a valuable lesson.
.
Good luck to you, young man.
.

Wednesday, April 08, 2009

We have been trying to nurse

our little one back to health since last Saturday evening, when we discovered he is running a temperature and complaining of pain on the right side of his throat.
.
.
After medical consultation, so it's tonsillitis that's causing him to run a temperature. Poor child. Viruses and bacterias these days are so lethal!
.
Just got to get enough rest and serve up the regular meds to little one for now. Fingers Crossed.
.

Sunday, April 05, 2009

Weekend is

a bliss!
.
When you simply get to watch the child idle his day away with you.......his smile, his laughter, each gesture is a brand new growth.....
.
.
For a FTWM like me, weekend is the only precious time I get to spend more time bringing up my little wee-bee......while I enjoy my child's presence and closeness to me, I hope every mummy had their great weekend too.........in fact on every weekend!
.

Instilling a love of learning and creativity

through introducing reading, music, discovery science, art & crafts and the growing popular language & performance arts, is what the ANG Mistress firmly believes in; an art of expressing each's individuality.
.
.
Not only it's part of preparing her child for his future social or curriculum challenges & development, it'll also inspire the child to become healthy, confident, productive and creative citizens.
.
Since Kiet's nursery years, the ANG Mistress has always made an effort to tag along all the theatres that her dear son attends with his school. Her objective: To be able to apprehend and explain the art to the child after each attendance.
.
Just like while watching a documentary, an adult needs stay beside to explain or elaborate more details to the child. Do not expect the child to understand on his own. After all, each individuals are the fruit of their parents' craft - of course all parents are not so perfect to start with themselves!
.
.
With more theatres and art performances catered to our young children in the local arts scene, it's a breeze for most parents now as the means to lean towards art becomes readily available.
.
.
ACT 3 International is one such leading arts company that is known to be active in promoting Arts to children. The company also conducts drama classes through their drama academy. According to hearsay, their recent "The Prudential Children First! Singapore International Festival" performances during 7-17 March 2009 had received overwhelming responses.
.
.
Up next is the inaugural ACE! Festival 2009 during May 18 – June 14 2009 brought to the audiences led by I Theatre - a platform aimed at promoting local and regional arts. For some who might not know, I theatre is also behind the successful run of "The Little Red Hen" last year!
.
This year ACE! festival sets to bring a thrilling collection of the best local and regional performing groups across five genres, as well as a collection of wonderfully creative workshops.
.
As expected, this mummy has already made arrangements to reserve tickets for her child to watch the show - HOW THE GIRAFFE GOT ITS NECK by Tall Stories (UK). You bet by now this mummy is more excited than her child!
.
.
The Little Company is part of the Singapore Repertory Theatre group, staging plays for children aged under 5’s and from 6-12 year-olds. Already armed with tickets for their ongoing production called "Bear and Chicken Go Camping", this mummy is all set to bring her boy next month for a good day out!
.
Another production starting in Aug 09, another worthy play to look out for is "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" - Based on the classic fairy tale by Aesop, this play is a heart-warming and serves as a very good illustration to the children of why it’s important to tell the truth, and how one lie can make a world of difference.
.
.
So parents, embrace arts - start browsing and reserve your tickets to bring your child to a performance. Bet you won't be disappointed at all and monies well spent!
.

Friday, March 13, 2009

Thank Heavens........

we're welcoming the weekend again. I wonder what we'll do as a family this weekend though.
.
Here, IT Show 2009 is now hosted at the Suntec City Convention until Sunday, then there also lies an opportunity to check out the Supreme Court as it open its doors to the public on March 14 and 15 for the first time in its new premises.
.
Otherwise perhaps arrange an impromptu outdoor BBQ with our bunch of gang friends and let the boys run wild while we cook our food, or set up a camping tent at East Coast Park.
.

.
All these seemed so ideal yeah!
.

Spend

Yes. That's exactly advocated by ministers all around the world, to "SPEND" - keep the economy going.
.
Without hesitation, I did just "that" - SPEND; this afternoon during lunch break. Headed to the Suntec Convention Halls after chomping down a "not-so-hot" Wonton Noodle Dry at the Food Republic foodcourt downstairs.
.
Flouded with streams and streams of people at the convention centre - mainly due to the 1st day launch of the IT Show 2009, accompanied by another colleague, we slipped pass the crowd easily and landed ourselves at the Body Shop Sale gallery.
.

.
Needless to say, the gallery is filled with ladies on one side all laying their hands on the products, while at the another side, obedient crowd form queues in a Zic-zac manner waiting to make their payment of the loots.
.
and Me? Well, now beaming at my loot from today's purchase too - of course.

Random

Alright, ever since Master ANG departed Singapore yesterday for his task, both mum & son were left with themselves, for each other.
.
.
Dear son has been amazing. He was easy to take care and handle as the day goes (unlike in the past when he was still a baby, the family had to be waken every other hour!!). He has really grown more sensible and obedient, except at times still cheeky and mostly mischievious. Let's just give him the benefit of being a child, after all, a boy.
.
Other than his usual "up to some tricks", the rest of him is truly enjoyable as he's still mostly a naive child at heart and is charming because of that guilelessness.
.
.
Just this evening, we enjoyed an interesting conversation over our subway sandwich dinner while watching the Channel 5 MediaCorp TV production "Don't Ignore Diabetes" and the exchanges goes:
.
"Mummy, why is that Uncle's eye liddat?" while he looked seriously at the TV screen
So this mummy tried to make use of the opportunity to advocate healthy eating "Oh, that's because that Uncle didn't listen to his doctor, ate a lot of sweets, ice-cream, drank cold drinks....too much sweets, so he had diabetes. Quick listen to what Uncle is saying....." - at that time, the patient was talking about listening to the doctor....lalalalala.....
"So Kiet, what must you do? Can you eat so much sweets and ice-cream?" this mummy tried to challenge her son's understanding after some time of watching the programme.
.
My dear son innocently responded with "Mummy, I cannot eat so much sweets, later my teeth drop.......then my eyes will not be like Uncle" (Mummy can't help but laugh in silence while nodding her head in agreement)
.
Gosh, he does make sense don't you think? Too much sweets means his teeth will also decay...yeah! Mummy didn't think of that at that moment.....haha.
.
Alright, before ending this post, here's a picture of my Master ANG's cheeky boy doing a Macarena like dance pose just this evening.
.
.
In fact, the now sound asleep boy didn't know that his Dad will return home by tomorrow night. Good night!

Sunday

thoughts shall be posted.
.
Just on Friday, I was so much looking forth to the weekend. Several plans had ran through my mind; like steam some muffins, go for a walk at the Southern Ridges or at the Hort Park with the family etc.
.
Then, things turn out beyond my expectation. This Sunday, which also happens to be a 三八妇女节日, I have to be down with mild food poisoning from the earlyyyyyy morning. Gosh! I really wonder what I ate the evening before and now have to suffer from the aftermath.
.
This tummy discomfort haunted me the entire day until the evening. Barely leaving any more energy to think of going anywhere except lying on the bed. Randomly waking up to talk to my boys at home.
.
Take it as a 三八妇女节 reward - THANK YOU!!!
.
I must THANK my dear hubby, who took care of matters at home including entertaining our energetic son for the day and cooking our meals (lovely porridge) while I can konk out and recuperate.

While I bade goodbye to my deserved Sunday and tummy ache, here's and not forgetting, to wish all the wonderful womenfolks out there a Happy Woman's Day too!
