Prince Josh

It's been a while since I catch up with my little prince....have heard from mummy that the little prince can sit upright without any support but this little one is still lazy to make his first crawl.

So I was all excited to see him again. Below is now the slimmed down little prince...I guess he is growing taller so that's the main reason for his lost of weight.

See how well he is sitting?

Kind of bored being snapped. So I shall play with my feet for a while.

Okie..Stop snapping...I am getting a bit angry here. Note: He like to cover his ears up - his latest act.

Princess Clara

After all that busy work week, I haven't catch up with my little darlings aka godchildren. Don't know how much they have grown and their developments.

So I got a chance to meet up with my princess as we were celebrating Aunty Joann birthday.

The funny thing is I only took picture of my princess and not our mini celebration....so paiseh.

Presenting you - Princess Clara who seem to grow more and more like the daddy.


Trying to get a good and happy shot of the princess so mummy gave a helping hand.

Though she might look a bit boyish, i am sure she will be a pretty fine lady when she grow up as her mummy is a pretty lady as well and most importantly she was also a bit boyish when she is a baby.

F1 Pit Tour

If you are not aware, Honda does participate in the F1 but the results really sucks this seasons. So when F1 comes to Singapore, my company actually purchased 1 Sky Suite where 13 lucky customers, Honda VIPs as well as our company top management get a chance to see the first night race live in action.

Since i am part of the motorshow, I manage to get my colleague who is stationing at the sky suite to bring us along for the pit tour after our duty at motorshow. I am honestly not a big fan of F1 but going for the pit tour and hearing those engine sound and smell during the race actually create that atmosphere and make me real excited about F1.
So below are some shots taken during the tour.

The pit tour start from here where you will have a chance to catch the drivers doing interview and walking past. The sad thing is that we didn't manage to catch the big stars like hamiliton and Massa which my other colleagues during their pit tour.


Here is the recreation area where refreshments and beverages can be found. I actually actually saw the handsome driver from Honda - Jenson Button.

Here's the work space for Honda. The F1 car is still in parts & pieces. It real busy and exciting in here.

Another shot of the car.

My colleague and I

That's me. In the background, you can see another Honda driver - Rubens. Anyway by the end of the tour, my feet was actually giving way since i have been on my heels since the morning and all the walking from the pit tour and to the MRT, I couldn't walk straight when i reach home.

Singapore Motorshow 2008

Missing in action in my blog...that's largely because i have been working non-stop for the past weeks due to the Singapore Motorshow 2008 as i was required to be stationed at the booth. Though the participation rate is super low this year, we still have to participate due to a couple of reasons:

1. When we wanted to pull out, it was too late as we already made payment for the space and there is no refund.
2. Most importantly, our GM is actually the president of MTA (organiser of the motorshow) this year, which doesn't make sense for us to pull out.
So we have to still make the best out of our situation and below are the photos of our hard work:
Highlight of our booth: Honda F1 Car and also one of the most expensive thing we brought over. If not for F1, i would have been able to bring over the Honda Robot: ASIMO :-(

Other areas of the booth



We also decide the launch the all-new Honda City during the motorshow.

For this show, we also engage Michelle Chia as the emcee and she also make a few appearance over the weekend. She is a pretty friendly and approachable celebrity who even drop by with her finance, Shawn to say hi during her non-appearance days.

Also have a chance to meet up with MP - Teo Ser Lek who is the guest of honour for the Motorshow ... one of the more charming guy in the Parliament, right?

What is a motorshow, without pretty girls. So these are the models which i selected and spend a bomb on. They are actually very young, with the oldest at 21 and the youngest only at 16. Able to tell who is youngest and oldest? Quite fun to work with but at times still give me some headaches.

The marketing team. After we took this picture, we realise the last marketing team also have a similar picture and after that they are gone. Above that, those who does the motorshow will usually leave the company soon...so is there any tell-tale signs for me since i was fully responsible? heehee.

Me with my twin sister (aka colleague)...people keep suspecting that we are sisters and insist to see our work pass to verify. Anyway she is so much luckier than me since she is actually 1 yr younger than me but already a happy mum to a 5mths baby boy - Jerrell.

Me with m€y colleagues as well as arranging for a team shot with Michelle Chia.

Me alone with Michelle after her appearance at the first weekend. Should have took the picture before her appearance then we will have look nicer.

Anyway, it is indeed an experience for me to organise and participate in the motorshow. This is the part where i truly enjoy my job....have a great jobs satisfaction and fulfillment after seeing that the project is successfully done. But when i think of the environment and people, i just have lots of ????. Anyway have already concluded this place is not ideal for long term unless i am looking for a retirement job...so while waiting for the next opportunity to arise or knock at my door, I will try to make the best out of the situation..very positive right? But don't know how long it can continue. hehe.

Baking Time

Usually, there will be twice peak period for baking....i.e. Chinese new year and this year i added Lantern Festival so over the past weeks, i have been busy experimenting different mooncake for my family. Tried the teochew style mooncake but somehow my skin isn't like those that we purchase. I also tried the snowskin mooncake but it is not as tasty as those we previously purchase.

So after all these failure, i am back to the flacky skin mooncake that i did last year. I make a total of 62 pcs yesterday which i happily shared it with our friends and family today at the prayer hall.


So hope everyone have a wonderful 中秋節 tonight.

Beetle Bug Clara

Receive this pix from Clara's mum last week...Isn't she cute in the beetle bug outfit?

Baby Clara Update @ 3 months

Brought some toys from the recent Taka Toy Fair so i am off to be a Santa Claus for my little ones. As usual, i will be the photographer capturing her developments and uploading it in my blog:
That's the little girl with the 2 toys.

Playing with the fingers while hugging her soft toys.

Similarly to Josh, she is also in to sucking her fingers.

A big smile from her.

She never failed to give me at least one comical shot....in deep thinking.

Another smiley, demure and gentle side of her big eyes shot.
Another shot of her smiley self.

Time to say bye bye....till the next update.

Before i end, here is a picture of her 5 year old cousin - Chloe Teo who also like to have an appearance in my blogs.

That's it for now. Stay tune for more updates on the little ones.

PSP

Manage to successfully bid for a brand new PSP slim at only $79.85 at tatarah.com.sg and with the t-points that i accumulate with every bid. I only paid $30 for this PSP in actual fact.

Now that i got my PSP, i need to explore how to get the games in and actually start playing. So if you have any tips to share...please do drop me a note.

I know for sure, i need to get a memory stick first.

Baby Josh Updates @ 6 months

When i last visited my little prince, he was crying the minute he saw me and didn't want me to lay my hands at him. So i thought this was going to be the case last Wednesday when i visited him after work since he is now at the stage of recognising people.

But i was wrong, he was the happy and cutesy boy who welcome me to his house with his big smile. Above that, i took some great pictures of him which you can see below...wonder if there is any baby picture contest that i can send his picture to? If there are, please do leave me a note.

See how tall i am now? Notice he is growing taller and not horizontally but he is still chubby and cute.
He is not a pacifer boy but a thumb boy...he always enjoy sucking his whole fist especially now he is teething.
See how happy he is...

Close up shots.
His butt is getting up but he is not moving forward yet... Can't wait for him to start crawling..

So conclusion is if i were to visit him late at night, that is also the time for his nap and milk so he gets rather cranky...however if i visit him slightly earlier, he will be full of energy to play and entertain me or should i say i entertain him???
