Another weekend

Meet elaine to go motherhood fair @ expo. She pick me up at adjunied and we headed there. Planned to sign up the motherhood magazine with her before hand. But we realised most of the giveaway hamper already grabbed since 2pm that day and we decided to give it a missed. Well, feel like we have wasted our trip there cause nothing much. Could be because we went there on the 1st day and most of the booth are not set up and ready yet.

Hubby is working 24 hrs again. Our agreement is when he work nite shift i will hv to go bk hm after work to accompany our darling. And because of this fair i went back hm late. Luckily my mil help to look after her. My mum & sis is at my pl to keep my darling company. Poor girl waiting for mummy to go bk and make her sleep.

Surely hubby can only reach hm in the afternoon. Me and xuanlin alone at home. I decided to bring her out to balestier road to view the tricycle that mil said. Of cos with the help of my mum & sis we took bus there. Not a bad tricycle only that they didn't use plastic to wrap up the tricycle and look abit dusty. Wanted to get a neutral colour so that next time can pass down to #2. But the only blue color hanging up there is very dirty i don't have any other choice but to choose pink color. Well the price is $52 so much cheaper than getting at kiddy palace.

Xuan Lin Birthday Pressie

Ever since xuan lin is borned, me and hubby did not buy much toy for her. Has been aiming on this toy for very long. Wanted to get this for her as a xmas gift but after 2nd thought she might be too young for it at that time. So i will be buying this toy for her as a birthday pressie. Hope she will enjoy the new toy that mummy & daddy buy for u. I m looking at the disney 4 in 1 rock & ride activity pooh ride on (left pic) or Step 2 push around buggy (right pic).

Preparation for Xuanlin 1st Birthday

Refer to my earlier post me and hubby decide not to have any party for xuan lin 1st birthday. But since it is my princess 1st birthday i decided to put in some effort in it. Going to make it simple but special day for her. Well, my planning was to go for buffet dinner with family at either furama riverfront or swissotel merchant court on the 04 April (Sat). On the actual day me and hubby will be on leave. So was thinking to have a simple decoration at home and buy some food back for dinner and follow by a simple cake cutting ceremony....

As for cake i did surf net and do some comparsion between ordering from cake shop or online.

After getting quote here and there. Bengawan solo 1kg minnie design cake @ $45. The rest of them provide nice design but min order is 2kg and above which i find it too big for us and price range from $80-$200 depending on design and sizes. Personally i like fondant cake as compare to normal fresh cream cake and price definitely will be more ex. Well i have finalise my design with jess from http://www.cupcakedivinity.blogspot.com/. Theme of the cake will be winnie the pooh theme. Cos winnie the pooh is xuanlin's idol mah. I really hope that the cake turn out to be what i want and more importantly taste good ;) Design wise will be something like the pic shown.

Valentine Day Shoot @ Foto-U

My appointment with them is from 1.30-2pm. Early in the morning i choose 3 sets of clothes for xuan lin & 2sets for me & hb. We took a cab down to joo chiat and when to one of the coffeeshop for lunch. We was there early and got to wait for another family to finish their shooting.

Subsquently after the shooting is we feed xuanlin in the makeup room and she fall asleep after her milk. The package include:-

1. 30 Minutes sessions.
