EARTH Q U A K E...

Thou tis is not e first time i felt the tremors..

This one i actually felt the S H A K E.

EARTHQUAKE.

A word that used to be so alienated to us, Singaporeans.

and now a word that we can relate to.

I read the news with chills down my spine....

---------------- Singapore’s Meteorological Services confirmed that the earthquake hit at about 6.15 pm this evening in the waters off Southern Sumatra about 530 kilometres from Singapore.............
Professor Kerry Sieh, professor of Geology, Earth Observatory of Singapore, NTU, said: "It’s definitely getting worse. The earthquake sequence began in 2000 with a 7.9 about 800 km away from the south of Singapore. You haven’t felt this big of a sequence of earthquakes that is many large earthquakes for at least 175 years."
A tsunami warning was initially issued after the quake but later withdrawn. — CNA/vm-----------------------

pls love the earth.....

"Tadaaa....."


The above phrase is something my son been saying for the past few weeks when we get home and opened e main door of our house....

He'll goes.." Taaadaaaa..." as if anticipating something magical will happen when we open the door... =)

So, in true Javis style... Tadaaa....! Happy Birthday to Myself.

The best ever presents i got this year. Love + Joy.

I watched the 3D version of the movie cartoon "UP" on my birthday, and i booked the tix without even knowing wat was the story all about. Din even realised such a show existed until i clicked on the movie shown on the website.

All i know was.. it was a cartoon (so it cant be scary..) Checked.
It was a 3D show (which is something new for me+hubby) and so..Checked.

And Tadaaa... It was a truly a nice show.A touching little simple story.
As if I booked the right show.

It was meaningful for a birthday.
About fulfilling dreams.
About the simple tings in life.
About treasuring memories.
About Love... [aww..... so sweet...]

Sometimes, Love is jus about the simple moments in life. Really.

Sometimes some things in life cannot be taken for granted easily.
Be thankful that its a brand new day with the sun shining and the weather is normal.
Even for the flowers that bloomed along the pathway... There are just too many things in life that we have to learn to appreciate.

Nothing matters more than being able to hold your loved ones at the end of a tiring day, for someone there to chat with, share.. for throwing tantrums.

Every moment of being there is Every moment of Love.

I thanked my frens for the birthday surprise... but havent thanked my hubby.. haaa...
It just not us to "openly" share our affections this way. *Blush..

But... well... Just a simple note here. (Get your winter coat ready!)

"Hubby, Old Ah Gong + Ah Ma... 2 fishing rods... one portable pump... one bucket of water... hands in hands.. by the waters..... K? Luv. "--------------------------

I wanted to take this post.. to thank dat few persons who came into my life and never left since then.

A word of THANK YOU for the pre-birthday surprise on the 10th of August.
For tearing off time off in the holidays with your families to come by. used off dat few dollars worth of parking coupons... struggled with the babes and tots and cake... and amidst all the work and time for all co-ordinations... i bet everyone had a hard time cracking their head and probably almost tearing their hair out in the preparations...

THANK YOU.

What are galfrens for..... [awwww...]

We came a long way from our school days.From the O'levels result release.. moving on to advancing to our career path.. had our karaoke sessions.. bowlings.. and pig-out sessions almost every weekend.... and remembered a billard session where a few silly us were "challenged" by some ppl and we had a "hero" among the guys we knew who did a heroic act of beating the strangers?

Our first PAGERS (oH mY!) ? Our FIRST HANDPHONE?

We wanted to update one another here almost instantly didn't we? Werent we the first few to know of each other numbers?

Then there was some photo sessions where i was honing my photographic skills....

We had our first Boyfriends.. first meet ups with them .. OFFICIALLY intro-ed them as part of the group.... first house.. and probably the FIRSTS of many with each other.

We had our frustrations... our busy schedules.. but at least we try to meet up with everyone for our birthdays.

Whilst many of us had probably gone thru various changes and experiences.... we have probably changed our tinking over the years.... and/or due to circumstances, can no longer remained the same naive innocent school gal we knew one another to be... perhaps we should count our blessings at least there was just us to cry + laugh together.... that there was jokes that we prob can't tel others but we could "imagelessly" (shamelessly???) say out loud to one another.....[Did i mentioned dat my wardrobe was always in a war zone cuz i never like to fold clothes???]

or should i say.. we were at least there for each other when we ICQ (oh my!) msn and skype.. then now blog and facebook to kill the office/midnight boredom...

We've gone thru changes... some married.. some mummies.. some moved house.. some changed jobs... newfound interests to share..... (Pet Society!)

at least we know wat is happening either via e-communication or simply the good old sms.

...What are Galfrens for?For sharing, for cheering, for everything....

Luv U All.

Yest, as i brot Javis to e doc to treat his runny nose.. i realised.. he can throw a tantrum jus as an adult does when the doc scolded him for snatching off a pill bottle from the table.

He turned sour face and started to cry...nex as e doc tried to pacify him so dat he can see him better.. he got angry w the doc and even brushed him off angrily.

so, officially as of yesterday i realised: this boy of mine has grown up so much more again...

in the past, where he can throw baby tantrums.. i call them baby tantrums as they are not as well expressed as he does yesterday, his face showed anger... and he's mad and he's ignoring you.

He has outgrown the baby tantrums. he's officially a toddler now.

He tried to went home himself yesterday,
erm..................... i did not write that incorrectly.

He tried to went home himself yesterday,
He usually waits for me by the void deck but i was late.. it has rained.. and sky was darker than usual...

He challenged the nanny by brushing off her hands and waved goodbye wanting to leave the void deck for the car pouch area....
Nanny told him: "You go lor, you go lor.."



and he did.



he really did.


He happily walked out of the void deck confidently and prob tinking he does know the way home.(as per nanny: 好像真的知道路回家)

Nanny says, he din even turned back and peeped to see if she was following behind as he always does. (as per nanny: 连头都不回)

When he did finally turned back.. he once again confidently waved his hands goodbye to Nanny as if telling her: I DO know the way home.(as per nanny: 好像真的要自己走回家了还回头跟你bye bye.....)

*Faint.

its not funny to me at all.I was shocked at how much Javis has grown... and i worry how/wat i can/shld do nex on his milestone.

Sometimes, they grow up too fast.
