FINALLY...

Erlyna decided to take her first few steps! She actually started walking yesterday, 2 days shy of her turning 15 months. Am delighted to finally see her walking (wobbly steps though). But she's very fast when she wanna walk towards the TV especially when her favourite ad is showing. Really dian shi mi lei... She's particularly fond of the KFC kiddy club ad and the two SKII's ad. haha.. KFC I can understand cos of the kids.. But why SKII huh? *scratch head*

Now, when I wanna hold her when she walks, she will push my hands away. Haha..

OCC Outing

This post is way too back dated. Cos I only recently received the pics, I can only post them up now.

Brought Erlyna to OCC to attend our group gathering (and also to celebrate Jerry's birthday) in early October. She had her maiden dip in the pool and she loved it. Finally had the chance to use her huge mushroom float!

Getting ready to enter the pool. She's shy...



Into the pool she goes.. feeling a little apprehensive about her float.






Daddy brought her out to the middle of the pool for a little adventure







Then the 3 men decided to take the little baby out again seeing how she enjoyed it the last round






She was so tired after her swim that she fell asleep while we were starting to have dinner.




I like this picture Jerry took of Sarah and Erlyna and stole it from Sarah's blog.. hahaha..

Sarah Vs Erlyna in Faceoff..

Shopping for Shades

Went shopping for shades today. Mum fetched me to my aunt's shop at Thomson.

It's so hard to choose a pair of nice shades. So many lovely shades! Almost bought 2 pairs at one go but since I've already spent so much recently, decided to buy just one pair first. Luckily aunt said I could use the balance of my unopened boxes of contact lenses to offset my purchase. So I need not pay so much. And I donated the balance of my opened box of lenses to Sis.

Dior has pretty nice shades but were too big for my face. Then saw this pair of Prada shades which I fell in love with but am afraid that the logo by the side would be too flashy and probably not as nai kan as a simple normal pair.

Kei, is this the pair which u said is nice as well?

Anyway, I chose a simple pair which might probably last longer in fashion sense so that I can get more mileage outta it.

Post surgery review. Woke up the next day with pretty clear vision. Almost 75% vision is restored. Am not used to it yet. Kept thinking I had lenses on or wanna reach out to my glasses the min I woke up. hahaha

Vision Reborned

It has been a while since I last blogged and people has been asking me for updates, wanting to know what has been going on with Erlyna. Heee.. Here's a little update but not about Erlyna.. More on mummy.

After deliberating and procastinating for so long, finally decided to go for Lasik. Since The Lasik Surgery Clinic is having promotion for the month of November, decided to do it before November ends to save a couple of hundreds. Paisay, cheapo here lah.. haha

Thumbs up for the service at the clinic. The receptionist there is friendly, the nurses there are all very presentable and my docter (Dr Jon Goh) is friendly and warm too. Waited for 3 hours for the evaluation at the Clinic, saw the doc for less than 3 mins. Very good money for the doc. Said my case is a very straight forward case. I can either opt for the normal blade surgery or the bladeless surgery blah blah. Again, being a cheapo, I chose the normal blade surgery. Teehee.

Hubby was kind enough to have taken leave for me despite his busy schedule to send me to the surgery in the evening. I'm really very greatful to him knowing how he was so against me going for the surgery and also his super low level of patience when it comes to waiting. Told me to relax and not to worry about making him wait (he waited for about 2 and a half hours which is considered very long for him).

The surgery was over in about 10 mins or so. Was told to kept staring at the blinking red light while they put a piece of equipment over my cornea to suck it up a little so the doc can cut a very thin layer of my corneal tissue. Thereafter, I hear sounds of the laser doing the job. When it's done, the doc will reposition the flap. The whole process is totally painless.

Went home straight to rest after the surgery. I was made to wear the eye shield and I looked like I had bee eyes. My eyes were tearing badly and I could hardly keep them open. Was searching frantically for my pair of shades the day before but couldn't find them. Hubby said we could have thrown it away during our last spring cleaning. Haiz. Looks like I need to get a new pair of shades then. Was given 10 days of MC but I need to be back at work on Friday since boss will be going on leave the week thereafter. Meanwhile, it's rest, rest and more rest.

Grumpy Erlyna

A very grumpy Erlyna. Even gai gai didn't help much. All due to teething...




She offered no smiles at all...









And she was making so much noise I had to leave my friend's place early. Maybe it was partly due to not enough sleep as well for she knocked off once we hit the roads.

Tooth Fairy Visiting

No wonder Erlyna had been super cranky for the pass few days. This blur mummy here didn't realise that she has new teeth erupting. This time round, her 2 upper lateral incisor decide to erupt. First she had her lower central incisor, next her upper central incisor and now her upper lateral incisor.. Total of 6 teeth.

Mr Dino

Thank you Auntie Wiselyn and Uncle Clement for the suprise birthday present. Daddy thought Mummy did online shopping again when the mail man pressed our doorbell. Heee

KBB Ayden's First Birthday Party

Yet another birthday party to attend. A really busy weekend for us.

Happy 1st Birthday to Ayden!!

Happy 1st Birthday to Yan Dao Jerald

Irene is celebrating her Yan Dao's 1st Birthday today so off we go to the party. This month, we would have many many birthday parties to attend. I've never attended so many birthday parties in my life before in the same month! Today is Jerald's and tomorrow is Ayden's.

Erlyna enjoying her car ride, happy that she gets to go out.

The cheeky and cute Charlene with her cheeky papa



Charlene to Erlyna: Erlyna Jie Jie, I believe that party bag u're holding on to is mine lei....



Erlyna to Charlene: Oh, is it? Sorry sorry. Return to u ok?



Enjoying the party blowout...







It's a shame I did not get to take a pic of Yan Dao Jerald and the beautiful Pooh Birthday cake (what else right? The mummy is a Pooh fan). Maybe can steal some pics from Irene. Heh.. She hired a professional photographer just for the event. But I was glad to be able to meet up with Lillian and Voice.

Dunch Call Me Baby

Our little piglet is ONE!!!! Officially upgraded to toddler and is no longer a baby.

Time really flies. A year ago, I was still at Dr Chan's clinic for my regular checkup when he told me I could see Erlyna on that day if I wanted. So hubby went home for my hospital bag and she was out that faithful afternoon. And now a year has passed.

Though she is no longer considered a baby she will forever be a baby in daddy's and mummy's eyes. We love you so much darling and thank you once again for being borned. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!

It's raining so heavily now. Hope it stops soon so our plans for the day will not be jeopardized. Rain rain go away, little Erlyna wants to play.....
