Yee Ruu turns 10 months old today! See how much she has grown! Unfortunately, the amount of hair on her head is still just as sparse. Sigh.

I simply love her toothy smile. She now has about 6 teeth and can be a little rough when she latches on during her night feed. She is now a cheeky active 10 months old toddler and is able to pull herself up to stand on her own. She cruises around with support and can get around places pretty fast.

My little baby craves for my attention. Very often, she will compete with her elder sister, who will run towards me, for hugs and kisses the moment I step into the house after work. Her face will light up with excitement and she will yell for attention that says something along the line of "Please pick me up too!! I want a cuddle!"

Like every other kids I know, Yee Ruu loves her outdoor time too. She loves to be at the playground with her sister and I can see that she can't wait to be able to walk and run around with her sister and friends.

We try to take the kids out as often as we can. If we are early from work, they would be at the playground downstairs with other kids. Last Sunday we brought them to West Coast Park in the evenings.

Weekend is around the corner... lets see what we can plan for them.

I love my kids to bits!

Today was my first day of work at my new place. I felt kind of strange and in fact, a little spaced-out with the lack of work to do. This was because I was working my butts out till my very last day at the previous organisation and suddenly, I had so much time to myself.

Many told me it's a happy problem and of course, I'll enjoy myself while I can. What I really like about my new job is it's only a mere 5 mins walk from home. So it's goodbye to all the morning and evening traffic jams. I'll be saving quite a bit on petrol too.

As it was also the actual day of Mid- Autumn festival, Yee Sinn and her best friend Xuan Ying had a date at the playground down stairs.

The kids were pretty excited about their lanterns. Yes, I think we burnt about 2 of them but oh well, I guess that was part of the fun too.

We also brought our little babies down to enjoy the evening breeze. See how fast our kids have grown. Xuan Ying's brother Wei Hao is a couple of months younger than Yee Ruu but amazingly, he weighs a lot more than her. Anyway, I'm not comparing between them. I'm just so glad my little girl is eating and sleeping well and will grow up to be a fine young lady.

It has been a long night getting the kids to bed after all that excitement. I must try to sleep early to cos I don't want to report to work late and leave a bad impression.

Good night folks!

It's going to be Mid-Autumn tomorrow so all of us gathered at Grandma Chang's place for dinner. We promised the kids that they will get to play with lanterns this evening.

It was Yee Ruu's first mid-autumn celebration with us. She often looked on intently at what all the other older kids were up to. I'm sure by next year, she will be carrying her own lanterns and running around the streets with them.

We had a hearty dinner before we took a short stroll down the streets. As usual, the kids were delighted. They sure enjoyed the company of each other and were disappointed that we had to call it a day. The adults had fun too. Both Grandma and Grandpa Chang were happy to see their brood of grand children walking the street with lanterns dispite being a noisy bunch. I was more afraid that they would make a nusiance of themselves by talking so loudly along the quiet street.

I had to pack the kids back home by 9.30pm as it was getting late. I needed to prepare for my first day of work tomorrow and would want to be at my best.

First day of my vacation before I start work on Monday next week. As it was also school holidays, Hubby and I took the kids out to Marina Square. They had a Curious Tot's play area organised by Okto and Friso Milk.

Yee Sinn had a whale of a time with the different stations while our dear Yee Ruu was the ever curious tot just being happy watching her sister play.

We didn't do much after that.. just window shopped before heading for home.

What mixed feeling I had today... It's my last day of work after 10 years with the company. Made many good friends and learnt a lot of things in returned. It was my first job after graduation and some of my colleagues saw me through my convocation, my marriage and the birth of my 2 kids. Some of them walked with me me through several ups and downs during projects deadlines while others consoled me through difficult times with nasty bosses.

It was a mad rush for me as I had to return my pass and laptop before the HR and IT staff knocked off from work. I have been packing quite a bit over the last few days but there were still so much stuffs to pack away. Even my colleagues were amazed on such efficiency and commented on my newly-reinstated cubicle. Hee hee.

Once I returned my stuff, I just started to pack non-stop and am proud to say I completely stuffed my car to the brim within 2 hours. I spent whatever remaining time I had left of the day going around saying my thank-yous and dishing out chocolate and ice-creams.


It's kind of a bitter sweet feeling... feeling sad that I'm leaving the place where I spent my last 10 years of work but yet, pretty excited that I'll be embarking on something new soon. I hope the new place would have people as kind and patience as what I have experience so far.

I'm going to miss Jurong East, Imm, Diaso.... and most importantly, I'm going to miss my friends that I'm leaving behind.
