Do you have a passion?

What's your passion? I dont know mine. Or maybe my heart died in 2008. I had a very exciting life with great experiences. I had clear directions when I was 16 years old. I know what I want, went to do my dip in mass comm. Went to 933 as an intern, ufm as a host, mediacorp to do sales and promos, artiste management, concerts, and marketing at stb. These are the best times in my life. Now I'm so lost. I really dunno what I want in life. Having mid-life crisis now. Totally hate it. And I'm only 30. Maybe I should wait for Phoebe to start Primary 1, and see how's the school work. If its too much to handle, then I will decide to give up work, be a part-time Starbucks barista and a part-time taitai.

Overdue Post!!

Gosh...with the emergence of Facebook and all other social media tools....the blogspot is left much unused.

Phoebe is 5 now and K1. Very happy and I would think its well-behaved. She's a really sweet girl, with good manners. She still reads every night and drinks loads of milk! Kekekek....how she has grown. Looking back at the previous posts, really make me realise that she's all grown up!

Magic Teapot and Disney on Ice!

I have grown up watching performances and even performing on stage. I think by being in such environment, it has made me a more confident and outspoken person. I enjoy what I had before and I want to give Phoebe such experiences as well.

Phoebe has always been very timid especially when in big crowds. The last time when I brought her to watch a play at the esplanade, she was quite intimidated and terrified. When she watched Barney, she came out half way as well. Although Papa thinks that I should stop bringing her to such places until she grows older, but I am still quite persistant in this. I think she shd even go for more to overcome her fear.

So this March holidays is a very exciting one for us as there are a lot of performances for us to go! And I have chose 2 for little Phoebe...

The Magic Teapot @ Asian Civilisations Muesum

Its the Children's First Festival and I have been thinking to buy one of the shows. But the tickets are quite expensive and I was a bit hesitant. Luckily I caught an email blast that within 10pm to 10am oof a certain day, I can get the show tickets at $10! So I bought 3 and hope we can enjoy ourselves at the show. However, the traffic at the area was super bad that day and only me and Phoebe went for the show. Papa had to park far far away and didnt manage to come in time.

Phoebe as expected, was quite resistant to go in. She told me that she was scared. So we waited at the main entrance for a while for her to settle down. And I took the tickets and ask her to hold them and give to the ursher jie jies later. This helped a bit and I carried her to go into the audithorium.

The place was quite small and they allowed children to sit freely at stage front.

However, Phoebe doesnt want to sit there so we sat at our seats.

I held her hand throughout the show and she did enjoy herself! Although she might not fully understand the story, but it was quite music based, so I think she did enjoy the music.

At least she wasn't afraid anymore and she sat through the 45min performance!

I am so proud of her!!

The teapots there were used to make teapot music

The other set of instruments for the nice music

Disney On Ice - Princess Wishes

When the show was launched initially, I thought of bringing Phoebe. But the prices were expensive and I didnt buy the tix.

But one day when we were at Mum's place, the TVC came out and Phoebe say she pointed at the TV and shouted, "Mummy, I want to watch Princess!"...

And she repeatedly tell me whenever she saw the bus-stop ads and TVCs.

And when I was about to buy the tickets one day, Claire msn me and I asked if she wants to go. She was ok and we decided to go together with little Cayla.

Phoebe was so excited and we went to the show yesterday.

The show turned out better than expected. I was quite impressed with the effects where there was fire on the ice rink and fireworks. There was also a bit of acrobatics.

Although they acted each princess story, I don't think Phoebe understands. But at least she enjoyed the whole experience!

2008 to 2009

i have been procrastinating to write this as i am scared that i will cry...
this is the first time, that i dun want to part the year i am in...2008. i have this feeling that going to 2009 is making me going further away from yu xuan...it is going to be cny, almost the anniversary of yu xuan's departure.
it definitely still hurt a lot.. and as expected, while i am writing this, i am tearing again...
2008 has been bad, i would say. and of course, i am wishing 2009 to be better..
but as much as i hope to have a good star, i am also not willing to move into 2009 because i want to stay within the same year with yu xuan...that's what i feel.
i cant let go still...still trying to come to terms. it is not easy and will never be easy.
i just hope yu xuan is well taken care off....and that i am really sorry for not being there...

hand foot mouth disease

phoebe had a case of the terrifying HFMD on the 19 nov. it was really a horrible illness. the sunday before was jody's birthday and she had a party at boon lay. brenda had high fever but after a rest, she continued playing with the kids. everything was ok, when on tues, bro called to say that brenda had contracted hfmd. and wed, phoebe had high fever. and ulcer. and spots. urghh....she was grouchy, and refused to eat medication. we really had to force her down her throat. which usually, she's ok with medicine.
mummy had high fever on sat too and daddy had too.
anyway, now tat it has passed, i really hope that is the first and last case.
it was really horrifying!!

rainy days at T3

she is quite a poser...


i am amused by how phoebe stands...so funny!


we were supposed to go out to the beach, but the rain came pouring long and heavy the night before. and again, we went to T3. seems that T3 is the best place to go on a rainy day. it is big, toilets clean, and there's a little play area for phoebe to play for some time.
