CNY 2011 Photos - CNY Eve

Happy Lunar New Year 2011!!!

Happy New Year to ALL! Wish All good HEALTH & LUCK in the Rabbit Year! ;)

Been so busy. Guess will be more busy after tomorrow... Shall inform later...

Update on the Chuas... Dennis was finally back (Oops! I couldn't even remember when he was back! So many things on my mind! Anyway, really happy that he was back before CNY and able to help me!) Sometimes I feel apologetic that he has to help out in the taking care of Double Cs while I do some chores. & the BEST part is I have a helper. But this helper cannot help out much...

We did another OFFICIALLY MOVE IN on 29th January 2011. Haha... Told Dennis jokingly how come we did our move in more than 1 time?! Haha... The Chua Family stayed for the night @ our new house and after that we stayed @ my Dad's place for the next few nights due to raining. Haha...

Did a few last minute shopping for the CNY eve's and 1st day's dinners. Many people @ many places! So crowded!

My Dad, Brother's family, Jann's family came over for dinner on the eve while my MIL and BILs' family came over on the 1st day. Had an enjoyable dinner though ate little. Busy but happy!

2nd Day we went to Desaru and stayed @ Lotus Desaru again. This time my Dad didn't join us. We went with Jann's family. Though just a night stay, we had a great time as well. We even went to visit Jann's friend Chris @ her hometown. Her home is BIG! On the 3rd day, before we set off to Singapore, we went to Chris's home again to borrow her power point! Haha... Yes! You heard me right! Cos my Cayden was on nebulizer again while Cayenne was on the chamber puff. So need to neb Cayden before we set off if not, would exceed the time. Hee...

We parted with Jann's family, reached SG ard 7plus in the evening. Shacked.

On the 4th day, we went to visit my Grandmother & Fifth Uncle's family. Headed home for the kids to nap before going to my Dad's place for dinner...

Been very fruitful though tired holidays. After that, Monday arrived and back to work again... Haha...

Well, talking about more busy after tomorrow... Well, well, well, tomorrow going to send my helper back! So happy! Though I do feel abit scare to manage all by myself. Daytime I'm not so worried as Cayenne is in CC. I worry about their night time sleeping. If Dennis is outstation, I wonder if I can manage both anot...

My Dad & Jann comment that I sure cannot make it which make me feel sad... I know they worry about me, worry I cannot handle Double Cs without losing my cool etc... But since it is my decision, I do wish to get some mental support instead of giving comments that I sure cannot make it. Sigh... Even Dennis worries! Sigh...

I told my Dad, Dennis & Jann. Let me try out 1st. If I really fail, then I will engage a helper again. No harm trying out right? If I never try, I will never know if I can or cannot right? ... ... ...

"Move In" Ceremony

Finally with my Dad's help, I managed to do the simple "Move In" Ceremony this afternoon.

So for the coming week, I will be super busy again to do the cleaning and washing! Not much time left before CNY is coming!

I need mental support! Please, Double Cs, be co-operative. Mummy is doing everything by myself from A to Z... I need you darlings to be good children and obedient! Let Mummy finishes all the chores and work that need to be done!

Pineapple Tarts

Helping to separate the egg yolk and white

Yummy!

Jann decided to test bake pineapple tarts on Sunday, 16th January 2011. We have always wanted to bake tarts ourselves as we love homebake tarts especially my Grandmother's secret receipe! But eversince my grandmother aged and my Mother not around, we never bake tarts again...

We decided to try and Jann search for the receipe online and tried. AND... ... .... IT WAS A SUCESS!!! ;)

MIA again!

The Chuas been MIA for quite some time! ;p

1st of all, Mr. Chua is often not in SG. I can declare that he is almost 80% not in SG!

2nd, Mrs. Chua has been super busy with the cleaning up of their home. YES! I'm still cleaning the house! Don't know why so long still not yet complete AND CNY is coming soon! Stress! As Double Cs were unwell, I gotta to take care of them myself almost day and midnite. Plus having some stupid issues with my helper. Think having a helper at home doesn't help to relieve my burden at all, I might as well do without one!

3rd, Miss Chua isn't doing well in CC... ;( She has been so moody and unhappy whenever she needs to go to School. Keeps telling me that she doesn't want to go to School... I told her ONLY holidays need not go School. Guess what my Miss Chua tell me. She says "No holidays, I also don't want go School."

I tried soft approach, sometimes she listens but sometimes she doesn't. I really don't know what to do... So at certain times, I use the hard approach. Sigh... Since 1st January 2011 till now, she has been crying when we reach the School. I REALLY WANT TO GIVE UP. But can I?!

4th, Mr. Young Chua recovered from his flu and cough. Lucky. Last few weeks wasn't good due to sickness PLUS the hateful teething! His 4 molars come at the SAME time and made him super discomfort. Fever on and off for almost 1 week! So in the end, put on antibiotics again! But lucky recovered after that...

What a start for the Chuas! Hope things will turn smoothly for us!

Merry Christmas 2010!

Had a simple yet fun Christmas dinner @ home. Initially wanted to try to prepare food ourselves but think think, in the end decided to drop this PLAN. Maybe next year... Haha... So we had delivery food instead. ;p

Took some pictures of Double Cs in the morning

Evening arrived! 1st guest is Jann's Mother, my 3rd Aunt

Standing obediently

Full of presents!

It was really difficult to catch the kids' attention! Evidence below! Haha...

Yummy KFC!

Initially put Cayden in cot cos he would be disturbing us eating, touching here and there. But looked very pitiful so I decided to let him OUT from his cot... Haha...

Pizza!

Enjoying her fried nuggets

What had caught the kids' attention? Presents? Hmm... MUST BE!

Very helpful of my boy to push the stool around... Anyone needs one? ;p
