BB En Yu's progress


Currently @ 3 mths +, BB En Yu has progressed alot i must say...

  • He is getting BIGGER (his clothes which used to seem too big are now fitting nicely).

  • He is moving both his arms and legs(kickin') very actively nowadays.

  • He is able to respond (smile, laugh, shriek) spontaneously when u talk or play with him.


  • His sleep routine is getting normal ~ he goes to bed @ 10.30pm and wakes up around 9~10 am. YAY!


  • He almost sleeps through the night, waking up for just one feed @ 5.30am.



Well done, BB ! Mommy luv u!

Trip back to Taipei

Today, i caught the earliest flight by SQ @8.35am back to Taipei. Oh my, i was very very impressed when i stepped into Terminal 3. It is very big and of course, very brand NEW... and the toilet is just like a salon, or even better! There are many branded boutiques there, but no time for shopping la. So i went straight to Toast Box for breakfast (yeah~) and then, went to the gate for boarding. And guess what? The terminal is so big that they even have monorail shuttle to bring u to your boarding gates!! While going through the custom check, one of the officer who is assigned to check En Yu and his stroller came to me and asked me: "Mdm, do i have your permission to check your baby?" Wow~ sound very pro! This must be the BEST Airport in the world lah! At least, that is how i felt lor :) It makes my travelling very comfortable and enjoyable. OK, enuf about T3....


While on the SQ flight itself, BB En yu was very well-behaved ~ BUT INITIALLY only :( He slept almost immediately after take-off but after we took our in-flight meal, he woke up for his milk milk and thereafter, he started fussing alot.... until Chew Chor Meng can't help but staring at us. Yes, Chew Chor Meng (the Singapore actor) is on the same flight as us and sitting just 3 seats away. I can't say he is irritated, but maybe empathetic... I think he is here to shoot some travel program. Anyway, the service on board this SQ flight is pretty good i must say... because they helped to disinfect and sterilize BB En yu's pacifier TWICE (first time on my request, and the other time is on their own initiative ^^).


Travelling with BB En yu means i have another 10 kg, in addition to my 25 kg of baggage allowance; that i can join the priority line together with the first class/ business class passengers and while going through the customs, i was assigned to the counter for Diplomatic officers. I skipped the terrible queues which are damn damn long. Yippee!~

My Combi stroller came!

Have been looking for a stroller for BB en yu... already have one in mind and got to know of this lobang from Rach and Mer, so i ordered it yesterday afternoon and they delivered it to me TODAY before noon! Very efficient! Me chose ORANGE color, instead of blue, cos' i love bright colors and i think it is unisex, so IF(i said 'IF', ok?) number 2 comes and it's a girl girl, she can inherit it from her bro ^^

just for BB En-Yu‏


Received this digital SB from scrapbookmummy today....thank u Mer! *wink*

Letter to my friends

Dear friends,

I am so glad that i am able to meet up with u guys during this trip back to spore:) It was just a short one for merely 2 weeks, but still i tried my very best to meet up with all of u... and bring my baby En Yu along (by myself^^) ...struggling up and down the cabs and stairs, but practice makes perfect. I think i am managing pretty ok so far and of cos, there are kind souls out there who did help me out alot! Hmm, thank god there are still nice people around:) Even though i've left Agilent & Verigy, and left spore for almost half a year by now, i am so happy that u all still remember me as ur friend and ex-colleague, concern about me and keep in touch via MSN... thank u friends!!! Today itself, i met Maegan and her daughter, Rachel and her son(still in her belly though), Chloe and my Veri-nice ex-colleagues! I think En Yu has created some commotion though in Verigy office, first the lights went off twice ( i don't know for what reason), and then he got very excited by seeing so many Veri-nice aunties and uncles that his shrieking laughter penetrated the entire office... and maybe cos' he was so high that he even poo-poo-ed! Got to borrow one of the meeting room to change his diaper... but i hoped he brought joy to all of u as he did to me:D


I will be leaving for taipei tomorrow, and looking forward to meeting u guys again~ciao!



Love ya,
Eve & En Yu

Afternoon Tea @ Fullerton




Met up with Ida today @ Fullerton for an afternoon tea. We had planned this way before we even delivered our boys... that we will go for a nice high tea one of these days with our babies, enjoying our tea/coffee and chit-chatting away just like the way tai-tais do. We got preggie around the same time and En Yu is just 9 days older than Gregory. There's just so much common topics for us to share and talk about :)


Me trying to snap a pic on my own while waiting for Ida & Greg(who went to poo poo)... En Yu is getting impatient already, see he's frowning ^^




We chatted away while our boys fell asleep in our arms...



A gift for En Yu...Thanks Uncle Gan & Auntie Ida!

My 1st time bringing En Yu out by myself...

Last nite, I met up with thanadet, mona, dave & coreen who wanted to see En Yu :) And it was also the very 1st time that i brought En Yu out all by myself! Having to bring a 3 month old out on a stroller and taking a cab is not at all easy, unless the cab driver is nice enough to help u fold and keep the stroller while u hold your baby. Another challenge is to maneuver your stroller while getting up and down on an escalator in the shopping mall! Anyway, so far ... so good lah... at least i never drop my baby lor^^

En Yu is 3 months old!

How time flies~~~~~~~ En Yu is already 3 months old! And he is now back in Singapore to meet his grandparents for the very first time. Mom and Dad are really enjoying hugging their grandson.... tat gives me lots of free time, cos' other than feeding En Yu and changing his diapers, i got my parents to entertain En Yu for the rest of the time...kekeke...He loves it when u play with him...see, he's so happy!

Hokkaido~Tokyo trip (27 Feb ~ 5 Mar)

This is my first trip since i delivered En Yu...a trip to reward myself and relax~~~ but i miss my baby lor!^^



Upon arrival at Sapporo Shin Chitose airport, we took the free airport shuttle to Rera outlet mall (located nearby the airport) for SHOPPING!





The outcome: just one NIKE bag and NIKE knee length jacket. Good self-control huh?





No lah~ actually we need to leave the outlet mall and board the JR to Otaru.
Sigh... hasn't even shop enuf! ><
(but see! it was SNOWING~~~~woo hoo!)


My snack while on board the JR....... though it says made from 北海道牛奶... i did not buy it in Hokkaido, i brought it all the way from Taiwan 7-11...haha ^^ Hubby trying to say i'm crazy lor...look at his gesture ...





Our Sushi dinner set @ Otaru...comes with king crab miso soup... not bad!
Finally a good decent meal after a whole day of travelling...



On the next day, we wanted to catch the earliest JR @ 8:07am to Niseko Annupuri ski resort so we can start to ski/snowboard asap! Just can't wait....






But 2 blur sotongs almost missed the JR train...not that we did not set our alarm, just that we forgot to tune our time to Japan time ><


(side-track a bit... think we can make it as part-time model for spectacles??)




Finally reached Niseko station...waiting to be picked up by the owner of Milky House.





Milky House ~ this is where we stayed..very country-inn style.




Me having breakfast and it was snowing outside!
Feels damn good lor to look out of the full height window and enjoy the falling snow while having breakfast at the same time....
~~~just like dreaming~~~

Overlooking this house from our dining area...isn't it nice to stay in?









We decided to go to Annupuri ski resort this time cos' we already went to Hirafu 2 years back... Annupuri is pretty nice for beginners like me! Me took up a 2 hr private ski lesson and can now ski without falling!





Not forgetting to grab this Royce chocolate and Yubari melon jello from the airport before leaving Hokkaido!




~~~~~~~~~~



Left Hokkaido for Tokyo...hubby went out to work and i was all alone in the hotel. But guess wat? There is a washing machine in the room! Not bad huh!

So, I decided to be a good housewife and do all the laundry..hehe!




Tada~~~ all done! See, I can be a good housewife too ^^

Decided to go shopping in Tokyo after the laundry was done.






And the rewards.... a Burberry Blue label bag & a Burberry Black label wallet~~~ only available in Japan, so of course must buy lah! Yah, i'm a 敗家女~~~ But these are all i bought lor, cos' all else in Tokyo are pretty expensive, can see but cannot buy ><



Took this opportunity to meet up with Renin , who has been working in Tokyo for sometime now, for dinner.

At other times (besides loitering in Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku), when i'm bored, this is what i do in my hotel room: practicing snapping my own pics ....



To me, Tokyo is just another city similar to Taipei, but things are more costly, there are more people and subways are more complex...
Skiiing in Hokkaido is still better :)
