haba haba

It's a new year! And I've got a new "toy" for the boys :) It's a HABA beanbag which I have been eyeing since the Christmas of 2007. I wanted to buy it then but it was sold out the next day and the lady told me to leave my name and number, that they will contact me when stocks arrived. They never did.

So there we were, window shopping on Christmas day when we passed by their other shop at Ngee Ann City and lo and behold! There was the pretty green thing staring back at me from the window display :p This time, I wasted no time and bought it.

Here are the boys having some fun on it ;) Once they get tired of it, the green thing will be a studio prop!















Oh and what a good start to 2009, this evening Kayden said he was going to poot poot and because he has cried wolf many times before, we didn't think he was serious but his face showed otherwise. Erwin quickly put him on the toilet bowl and after one push, we heard the most happy sound, a plonk into the water HAHAHA! Erwin and I danced for joy and Kay was so amused that we were so happy that he announced to Dylan, "Baby, I poot poot in the toilet bowl and daddy so happy!" :D We hope this is the start of the end of diapers for my 3 year old!

Where's Ah Fang?

Since March of this year, my Punggol home have had the wonderful cleaning service of Ah Fang. She comes fortnightly and she's the best part time cleaner ever! My kitchen and bathroom looks spanking new after she's done with them and the floors are so squeaky clean your feet lingers on them just a tad bit longer :p

I got Ah Fang's contact from a thread on the Punggol Forum. On 1st September, Ah Fang came to our place as usual around 5pm and cleaned the house for 3 hours. I was bathing the baby when she left so I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Little did I know that this will be the last time I see her :( Since that day, Ah Fang has not showed up at our place. And she's always punctual. Her phone is permanently on voicemail now and my message remains unanswered. When she didn't show up the first time, we thought she must have fallen ill so we didn't call her, thinking she needed rest. Then when we didn't hear from her the next day, I gave her a call and it was directed to voicemail. I tried a few times for the next few days and it's always the same. One time, the automated voice says that the mailbox is full. Then we started to entertain bad thoughts, maybe she stole something? A quick rummage through my drawer dismiss this accusation. Hmmm, maybe there was a family emergency back in China (Ah Fang is from China, married to a Singaporean and has 3 kids). As the days became weeks and her phone remains on voicemail, we began to think the worse. Was she one of the 3 murdered china nationals in Yishun? Ah Fang lives in Yishun. But the names of the murdered victims did not tally with hers.

Arrrrgh! Where are you Ah Fang? I hope you and family are ok. Please if anyone of you who has your home cleaned by Ah Fang and knows what has happened to her or know how we can contact her again, please let me know. Thanks.

Just tried her number again, still on voicemail...

Photos from a guilty mummy

Since Kayden turned 2, i have not taken any photos of him (except on my mobile phone). He's past 30months now and finally on Sunday this guilty mother took some shots of him around the house and at East Coast Park.

Pffft! when he flashes you that sweet smile and you managed to get a good shot, this booming voice goes off inside my head chiding,"Now was that so hard?!???!?!!". Sheesh, ok ok i'll be more regular now!
