Route Trial

Daddy had only phoned to inform me yesterday that he'd be going to Vietnam with 1 of his clients for an on-site inspection @ one of his projects.

I had offered to send him to the airport tomorrow morning and so, we decided to take a 'trial' drive there tonight(yeah yeah, what's the GPS for, hahaha). With Renee's packed dinner with soup(good life, lolz), we had our dinner at T3. However, Renee had cried(the 2nd or 3rd time already) on daddy's shoulders on our way to the carpark when she was reminded of her daddy's soon departure and daddy decided that it's best that we don't send him off to the airport, hahaha. First, it would be very early and this poor girl might be grouchy, but most importantly, he couldn't bear to see her cry tomorrow, hahaha. So much for the trial drive...

Renee was given a special pass tonight to turn in late, so that she could spend abit more time with her daddy before he leaves in the morning and she's very happy.

I was hoping that PX would wanna come over next Monday instead(when I've re-scheduled my facial to, again...) so I won't have to waste 2 days staying at home and could bring Renee out to town tomorrow but she couldn't.

MasterPiece - Colouring

During those holiday weeks when we all went to the office, I had, in search of things for Renee to do there, found the Jungle Sticker Activity Pack and one night, I promised to do some colouring work with her and remembering this piece, we both started to work on it. Daddy saw it and thought it a nice one, told her to do a 'good job' so that he can frame it up and place it in his office. This girl worked hard on it ever since, part by part, for 3 days consecutively... I only helped her coloured 1 of the trees on the 1st 'day' and I guessed, perhaps a tiny bit here and there, but I would, 90% of the work's hers... Nice?:

I even managed to find an old 'before' pic of the artwork, :)

New Top

Today marks the first day of our last week of 'freedom', lolz and I'd be bringing Renee out almost everyday for this week.

Thinking she might need more casual tops now that she's going to childcare centre, I've been on the lookout for some nice ones but they're mostly not in her favourite colour. We found one today, its material is neither too thin nor too thick, design's simple yet with its shimmery print, and for only S$10, it's not bad I would say :D. The design of the print look kinda 'big girl' but hey, this piece is of size 2T!!! and it seemed to fit Renee when I held it against her, hahaha...

Name Books

Last night, as I was doing the accounts, I happened to 'see' these books and I realised that I've forgotten about them! They're name writing practicing books and it seems like I've wasted money on one as Renee had been writing her English name long before the preschool's even taught them how to write their ABCs...

Mommy also Can!

Suddenly remembering that our mom's big birthday is approaching, I sms-ed Renee's violin teacher if she's got the notes on the Happy Birthday song. Meantime, I searched the web but found them more of the 'lower' notes and most of which Renee has not learnt yet and won't be, at least not so soon.

So, instead of waiting, after her practice, I tried to play out the tune and got Renee to jot down the notes, lolz. Guess what, I got it right! Even though there's a note whereby Renee's not taught yet(so obviously I also won't know), and when Ms Mok brought this topic up today, she confirmed that I was indeed correct! :D, heee.

Also, the violins have arrived but Ms Mok has yet to collect them. However, she warned me again that it's gonna be another challenge, in fact, it'll be so, each time Renee changes to a bigger sized violin. It'll take AT LEAST 3 months for her to get used to it...arrrgggghhhh.

She wasn't given a star pass for the piece 'Perpetual Motion' today although Ms Mok said that she's actually ok but prefer to give her another week. However, this is piece is rather long(although it's 5 lines, same as her first song 'Twinkle2 Little Star' but it has many different notes) and from today, she's to play this piece with a faster semi quaver tempo and she wasn't very co-operative during the lesson. I managed to coax her to trial play at least the 1st line and she really did just stop there when Ms Mok tried to 'escape' by guiding her to the 2nd line, so today's lesson's super short(minus the time the teacher spent on writing down the HB song in proper notes for us. Anyway, it's nice of her to do that for us.), lolz, haiz...

Daddy has given me a pile of accounting entries to follow up the other day and I guess I had better start doing them tonight else it'll be jialat for me once I 'begin work at his office' next work, :(.

New Shoes, New Watch

As expected, Renee said that she'd like to wear her new pair of shoes today, :). And, to match the shoes, her top would have to be one of the 'mommy and child' tops and thus, I have to change my top to match hers, hahahahaha. With the shrug, she seemed to be abit 'over-dressed' for just a normal gathering at my mom's, hahaha.

Given this watch by her aunt Elsie :

More Tidying Up

Woke up late this morning and feeling fully energised, we went to the mall for my late lunch and grocery shopping. Back home, I've accidentally 'damaged' Renee's white shoes, a pair which she seldom gets to wear due to its formality and I've to dig up the new mary jane which she loves sooo much that she put it on and walked around home immediately. I took the opportunity whilst she's indulging herself with her new shoes and pack up the wardrobe again(daddy needs another drawer so I'm removing mine from 1 to put his stuffs). I bet she's gonna wear this pair for the future outings, lolz.

SomethingS Nice

Renee's very happy today. First of all, she's woken up to strings of necklaces that I've made for her last night whilst she was doing her colouring...

Although we were both sleepy but during our play, I've got a less than 5 min nap(whilst we had the pretend sleep play, hahaha) and it seemed to do a 'wonder' trick that once PX has left, I got us ready and decided to meet up at Vic's place afterall, to pick up the fragrances I've asked her to purchase for me. This is one of them(in limited edition and come with crystal adhesives freebie) :

We had a super quick late lunch at North Point('cos the aircon repairer was already on the way over to her place) and thereafer, Renee hadn't want to leave Vicky's place! We had actually wanted to go for a swim there but the rain didn't stop even when we were already at her place...(anyway, I've forgotten to pack her stuffs due to last min decision to go over, lolz)

We were sooo near my mom's place and I had thought to have dinner with her at the thai restaurant down her block if not for the soup I've got boiling since morning... So instead, I packed dinner back for the 3 of us and just as the vege I had steaming was getting ready, daddy came home - just on time for us to have a 'family dinner' as Renee was already about to start hers as she couldn't wait anymore, :D.

Oh ya, Janice remembering that I like pinky stuffs now(I begin to love this colour after I've had Renee, :D)had passed me one of her brother's wedding favors, quite cute! What do you describe it? A photo frame bag ring?

A Day of Colours

Having had my eyebrow job touched up on Monday, I had to cancel today's facial(which is looong overdue already actually, haiz) and with nothing else to do, I booked a pedicure session and when done, I went up(a last minute spur) to the salon I've passed by the other day when daddy had his haircut and had my hair extended with highlights, heee. Even after a snack and packing my dinner home, we only spent about 2 hours there, quick huh? lolz.
