Happy New Year!

Havent blog in a long long time! Happy CNY! This is still only the 5th day....

Been so busy the past 3 weeks that i simply dun have the energy to blog... or rather, ive been lazier? Many things happened... my sis broke up with her bf, me n hub revamped our bedroom, ie change carpet, throw again bags n bags of stuffs, redeco... hubby wanted to recreate the banyan tree effect... haha... the end result aint too bad, n with the scent thingy... definitely a nice n cosy place to snuggle... sleep n watch CSI Season 4.

n not to mention that my FIL got us to go queue up for bah kua, the lim chee yuan one, for almost 6 hrs on the sat b4 cny. can you believe it? but it was fun la, in a way, me n hub take turns to go jalan initially, but in the end, we both got so tired, n hot! shopped for clothes too... ended up buying many many more pieces of designer baby wear.. haha, for my precious baby. ive started to hate buying clothes for myself... so hard to find stuffs i like, cos ive gotten so fat after giving birth, n im only shrinking so minimally! disgusting! made a resolution to go on diet (hmmm... after i finish eating all the ny goodies, perhaps?)

this is my first year not getting any angbaos n had to give out lots! Quite scary sia, cos des' family is quite big, n u will see so so so many kids swarming the place... n i end up trying to remember which kids ive given to, n make it a point to at a corner of the living room so that new kids that come will definitely pass me n i can give them a ang bao! Hope i didnt leave any kids out! And the most scary part is to wonder if this fella is married or not. des has a nephew who is younger but married, but so older ones are not! Safe thing to do, is to follow my MIL, she gives i give. ethel recieves i keep. haha. prepared $900 for angbao money... 2/3 gone already, will be doing more visiting this weekend... really wonder how much deficit it will be... a rough calculation at this moment is about 200+... hope it dun slide further....

Promised my sis that i will put up some pix of her, she has started to learn how to play pool, n she has joined us a couple of times... not too bad for a beginner actually.... hopefully she'll join us more, it's a game that only practice will make perfect... me n hub plays put 2, 3 or even 4 times a week... if we dun have to take care of baby ethel... otherwise we can only play once a week... anyone interested? join us anytime, my hubby is a pool fanatic!

here goes, my little sista.... my hubby is teaching her how to cue...

hmmm.... forgot to mention that we went chinatown shopping too.... ate hotdogs...

want to post some pix of ethel in her nice ny clothes but she simply refused to be photographed. think she's getting a bit dao.... nah.. actually she's quite drained from all the visitations... she has been sleeping n sleeping since tues nite... recovering her energy.... then she can start disturbing her mummy n daddy again. though now she's having fun at her granny's! haha
