Busy Busy Busy

Its been a week since we returned from our vacation, and i haven't been busier.


There's Christmas lunch, Boxing Day, and also getting Nic ready for school. I am not sure which is tougher, getting her body clock back in sync or getting her ready for the new school term. Its been a week since our return, and Nic is still sleeping really early at night and waking up in the wee hours of the morning. Well, we just need to tune it a little, before she could wake at 5.30 am during the weekdays without any whining.

See this pic? Thats Nic in her new school uniform just before she entered Primary One. Right now, she could barely fit into it. The skirt falls right above her knee, and she can't buckle her belt. Well, i thought we could adjust the hemline with a little sewing, but unfortunately its a no-go cos' the pinaform is also a little tight round her chest. Sigh...so time for a change

So in the midst of our busy schedule, we brought her to the factory to purchase a new set of pinaforms. We were not the only parents there. the reception area was packed with like-minded parents on our last minute mission.

Nic's pinaform is now 2 sizes larger. Its a little long, but in true IJ tradition, I have taught her how to pull out the pinaform on the front so that it puffs up a little, thus shortening the pinaform...just the way mummy used to wear it, but mummy's skirt was a little shorter :P

All Packed...

So excited...we are finally all packed...except for the toothbrush, and other daily essentials. We are all ready for our trip to the USA!!

The Teenage Textbook Movie (1998) [Full]

Oh my! oh my! I found this on Youtube!!

Do you remember the Teenage Textbook? Well, if you are as young as i am, you will probably remember it. I remembered reading the book and loving it. Its essentially about Singapore JC kids in love, very singaporean, and it sure brings back the nostalgia and loads of memories of my own JC days.

And they even made it into a movie staring Melody Chen and Randall Tan... who is married to each other!

And oh..oh...it was filmed in St Nicks!! If you are familiar with the school premises, you will notice that "Paya Lebar JC" is actually our school grounds!

Well, go ahead and enjoy the movie...cringe worthy but sure brings back the nostalgia.

Today, I Celebrate...

Today, I celebrate the birthday of my first born, my baby girl. Well, you are a baby girl no more. You are growing up just so quickly. Who would have thought that you are turning 8 today! My goodness...how time flies!

And as I relish in the joy of being your mummy and buddy (she has developed a habit of putting her arm round our shoulder, and going "My buddy"), I am just so glad to be around to help you blow out the candles on the cake.

Well, Happy Birthday, Sweetie! May all your wishes come true

Busy Weekend

We had a really really bussy weekend. There was non-stop packing and email answering. We managed to clear all the orders and had them weighed and stamped at the post office yesterday. Yup, we jammed up the entire queue with our 3 big bags full of packages, but we got to do what we gotta do.
Well, glad all is done. All the paid local orders have safely been sent to the post office, and will be reaching our local customers real soon. As for the overseas orders, it will probably reach them in one to two weeks time.
