Happy 2nd Anniversary!!

Dear Daddy Sam and Mummy Celeste,

You've been happily married for 2 years and in these 2 years, you had created the lovely me. I wish you both a continuous happy marriage and keep on showering me with lots of love and toys...

Love the both of you.... Lil Ariel

A day out with Daddy n Mummy on a Saturday...

my lovely Daddy and Mummy brought me to town on Saturday. it started with some unlucky stuff. Daddy found a summon ticket on his car when we're at the carpark when he's actually a season parker there. he said he's going to check what happen.

then when we're at Cairnhill carpark to pay his overdued season parking fees (it has got nothing to do with the summon cuz it's a different carpark). however, the attendant there told him that now he had to send in the check for the payment with effect from FEBRUARY. it's either the Daddy was not informed earlier or he simply ignored the notice if there were any. Daddy was rather upset cuz it seemed to be a wasted trip.

we proceeded to the M1 Shop at Paragon. Daddy had been using Mummy's old phone ever since his old one was spoilt. now, Mummy's old phone is giving some problem. but Daddy could not decide what phone to buy. he had been thinking of getting HTC Touch Dual. dunno what's holding him back. so we left the shop empty-handed. in fact we left the shop empty-handed 3 times. hoho..

then we had lunch at Ding Tai Fung. Daddy and Mummy had xiao long bao, la mian and fried rice. well, I had my boring porridge. however, my Mummy knew that I would love to try their food, so she orderd chicken la mian, plain enough for me. I really love the la mian (and Mummy of cuz). however Daddy had to cut into smaller pieces for me. he's really slow on that cuz I had to rush him many times. sorry no pictures cuz Mummy was busy devouring her xiao long bao.

after that they brought me to Toys R us to check out the Kitchen Set that Mummy was aiming.

Daddy, I can walk on me own, don't need you...

hey.. who is that chio bu in the reflection. oh... that's me...

I've found a friend in Winnie The Pooh... we'll call him pooh pooh from now on...

boring... Daddy, I'm a girl, not interested in boys action toys

Mummy, can I bring pooh pooh home.... pleaseeeee... I promise I'll love him and treat him well.

yeah!! pooh pooh is allowed to go home with me.. THANK U DADDY!! they did not get me the Kitchen Set cuz it is said on the box that it is not suitable for children below 3.

oops... back home, pooh pooh is forgotten by me. the Xbox control is my new love...

Guess who's workstation is this?

Lil Darling is able...

to walk pretty well on her own. however, Daddy Sam and I are quite apprehensive on letting go our hands. even if we let go, we're still very close behind her to catch her fall. I don't know is it we're afraid of her falling down or we're not able to let go the fact that she is showing a little sign of independence. our little gal is growing up day by day (and we're growing old too...)

she is able to shake her head to say "NO" too!! I had dinner with SF and Shireen last Thursday. then Daddy Sam called at 9:40pm says Lil Darling is crying non-stop and no one can calm her down. by the time I rushed home, she already stopped crying. he told me that he wanted to coax her to sleep. the moment he brought her into the room, she started crying. Daddy Sam and Grandma asked her if she wanted to sleep when she had stopped crying, she shook her head. that was the first time she did that. hoho...

anyway, I got myself changed and coax her to sleep, she cooperative this time. she wants to see me before she ends her day!!! isn't she sweet?? however this means that I can't go out late with my friends cuz she usually sleeps at 10pm the latest. I don't mind though, cuz she got the highest priority and I want her to have the habit to sleep early. hoho...

last Saturday we brought her to her PD for her last pneumococcal jab. silly me forgotten to let her wear her shoes, so she can't get to roam around in the clinic. anyway, she is easily bribed. she cried very hard when Dr Chan poked her butt. however the moment she gave Lil Darling a piece of animal biscuit, she stopped immediately. the silly girl tried to pay the bill using the same piece of biscuit. :-/

here's the latest picture of her...

I had a GOOD meal at International Buffet Restaurant at Taka on Monday. it's a treat. I wanted to pay the person back, but I still have not pay him. so it's still consider a treat. but I suspect the person won't take the money and it'll still ended up as a treat. anyway, this is one of the photos taken.

my "daughter-in-law" feeding my son ice-cream. how loving.... haha...

I bought a new gadget as well from Harvey Norman. an epilator. wanted to get one long time ago cuz I'm really tired of shaving. at first, my honies accompanied me to choose one from Best Denki. one of my honies is recommending the Phillip one. however the sales girl is trying to psycho me to get the Panasonic one which cost double. I insisted the Phillip one cuz I can't stand her hard-selling. so she reluctantly pretended to look for the it. I said pretended cuz she came back saying it's out-of-stock. I can see that she just squat down and look for it "chin-chai-ly" lor. she wanted me to get the more expensive one lor!!! so I told her, "Nevermind, I'll get it somewhere else". her face was black. who cares...

anyway it's painful lor. I wanted to cry when I was using it. that's the cost of having hairless legs. I really envy those girls with hairless legs. and it doesn't help when the sadistic Daddy Sam pressed the epilator so hard on my leg lor. he just like to see me suffer... :(

then I finally went to gym yesterday. I decided that it's time to get rid of my enemies around my waist!! I actually felt them bouncing when I was walking. how disgusting!!

oh... Good Morning everyone!! :D

Names...

actually this thing happened some time ago, but I'm still thinking about and still feeling 不爽 about it. so I decided to blog about it to get it out of my chest.

I have this colleague of mine who keep calling my name wrongly. AND IT'S LIKE EVERY TIME, EVEN AFTER I CORRECTED HER!!!

my dialect name is Cheng Wan (pronounced as "ching one"). this colleague, call her O. the first time O called me 'chen wan', interpretation, orange bowl in Chinese. I told her politely that my name is not that. the next day she came back calling me that again. arghhh... that was like more than a year ago, even before I was pregnant with Lil Darling lor. I gave up correcting her after 5 or 6 failed attempts. probably she's getting more and more irritating (in other ways) recently that I cannot stand her calling my name wrongly. I decided that since that is MY name, I've got the right to have MY name pronounced correctly.

so few days ago, O called me wrongly again, I corrected. fine, she said the correct one. the next day she called the wrong one again. which part of 'my name is not chen wan. please call me cheng wan.' that she don't understand??? then she still can say, 'but that is your Chinese name.' WHEN DID I EVER SAY MY CHINESE NAME IS ORANGE BOWL!!?? then I retorted in a rather pissed tone, 'no, my Chinese name is not that, it's Jingyun by the way'. she replied, 'oh, that is so different.' argghhh.. I decided that I don't want to spend anymore effort to explain to her that it's a direct translation from Cantonese. I've also made up my mind that if she call me wrongly the next time, I'm going to ignore her, cuz she is not calling me.

folks, name is a very personal thing to any person. it represents that person. so please make an effort to remember the person's name and call it correctly, the way the person wanted it to be called. that is respect.

folks, thanks for listening to my complaint. haha.. I'm using my Lil Darling's blog my personal use again.
