Remember my blog about Halloween last year? How we spent our first ever Halloween and how I was so onz to go and sew both our hats from scratch and search for DIY costume ideas? Hee. Well. That was before I had a baby. Hmmm. I mean, then I had a baby in my tummy, now I have a baby in my arms. Hee. Anyway, that means I was more free and had more spare time to do such stuff.
So, this year, I probably think we are going to re-use our costumes. Wahaha. Might as well right. Don't waste the efforts or waste $$ buying. Keke. Maybe I should be the wizard and jw be the witch. Keke. Which reminds me, now where did I store all the stuff... Hmmmm..
Anyway, yesh, HALLOWEEN IS HERE again! I just bought a mini pumpkin today for 10kr. So cheap. Waha. It will be Angel's first halloween too. Hee. I probably will dress her into a fairy angel. Haha. Easy easy. =) She already has wings from her photo shoot. Keke. Well. Hope we will have another smashing and terrific Halloween!! Till more updates!

Yay! The theme of Angel's 1st birthday party has been decided! You got it, it's RAINBOW! Waha.
I figured it was a nice and colourful theme, easy to decorate the house, easy to dress up, easy to spread the word. Keke. And don't all kids love rainbow? Well, at least I've always loved it. Rainbow brings about happiness and joy, especially when it comes after the rain.
We've decided to hold a two-day celebration for her, since our humble house probably can't contain all the friends and kids that we wanna invite. So it's gonna be a packed weekend on 20th and 21st Nov! Woho! I'm so excited bout it! My little girl is turning one! Oh my. How time flies. I can still vividly recall when my contractions started and picture me in the delivery ward. It's been nearly a year already! Amazing.
Yeah yeah. Till more updates on the upcoming party then! Hope everything will turn out to be a success and that every guest will come and be able to feel the happiness around! I'm not pinning high hopes on my cooking (don't worry, there'll be FOOD!), but am expecting myself to do a good job decorating the house. Hee. Rainbow rulez!!

Well, this link http://www.camqueenoftheyear.com/ just got my attention and I was scrolling the gallery of girls who posted their before and after makeup pics.
The contest prize is pretty tempting, $SGD5000!!
But well, you know what, I can't remember when's the last time I seriously sat down to apply makeup. Not in a long time. I can attribute the laziness to various reasons: No clubbing activity, No formal prom night or wedding dinners, No need to impress anyone out there (Sorry dear, gotta let you see my huang lian po face 24hr!), No energy to devote myself to the long makeup process, and most importantly, I guess I would rather spend time with my baby, being naturally who I am. Can you imagine me having thick foundation, glossy lips, fake lashes on and carrying baby in my arms? It would be so hard to put my face on her face or ask her to kiss me! Wahaha. PS: I do that ALL THE TIME. =)
Don't get me wrong. I don't dislike makeup. In fact, I think it's good to doll up once in awhile (like I said in a previous blog entry) and go party and make yourself feel good about yourself. =) Hee. It's just that I don't spend money buying those expensive cosmetics and go check up makeup tips and keep up with all the Japan/ Taiwanese fashion makeup trends etc etc. It's just not my thing, be it being a mummy or not.
So yeah, good luck to the participants while I decide to stay away, stay home, and be the happy plain Jane mum that I am. Who cares, my hubby and my baby love me for who I am. =)

Have you ever had one of those days when everything just seems to go wrong no matter what you do?
I did. I think just last month I had one. Where I somehow cut myself thrice in a row and was also accident prone regardless of how hard I tried to avoid them.
And well, today was a sad and bad day for me too. Because I stupidly caused Angel to suffer a big fall. (Again! Her first time was an accident in a friend's house when she fell from the masterbed, head down to the floor. Today was her second BIG fall). Well, she toppled over her high chair and fell head down to the floor today. It's quite a distance, you know. Goodness knows why I left her there for awhile like that and it happened. My heart sank when I heard the loud "Pong".
Although they always say kids must fall down so as to grow up, but I can't help but feel angry at myself and regretful of my carelessness. It wouldn't have mattered if I was the one injured, but not my baby.
Sigh. I know I shouldn't blame myself too much, and that things like this happen all the time, right? Let's just say I feel heartache when I saw her lidat, knowing that it was my fault. She still called Mama, still kissed me, still hugged me after that when she recovered. Phew. That just made me relieved but yet wanna cry inside me.
Alrite. That's all for the day. Just never ever think "That will not happen", because it usually does when you least expect it. I'm sorry, baby! Mummy will try to do a better job next time!

Dear Angel turns 10 months! Here's a simple vid I did for her, which I found quite heartwarming, especially when we sang for her in the end. Hee. Such precious memories, don't you think?
Well, now gotta go think of how to celebrate her 1st bday, which will be here in no time! We love you, baby, so much so that I can't describe. Even though you get cranky for no reason, despite you take power naps only and wake up in half an hour in the day, regardless that you somehow can wake up and cry many times in the night, no matter how tired and how badly you wear me out, I swear it's still worth it and I will never stop loving you. Cos' you're my baby and I'm your mummy, and that's all it takes.
Huggzzzzz..
