Haley Tan is here!

Following on the heels of Shinyi's hot new babe Kaelynn is Haley Tan (Eric and Shoo's), born on the brink of spring season, 21st March 2009 (as his proud uncle says "3-2-1" very easy to remember). In case you were wondering, Haley is Hao-e's sister's firstborn, and the closest-related niece we have - we have several nephews and nieces who are kids of first cousins, a subtle difference/technicality there, if you know what i mean.

We sent some flowers over to her room at East Shore - must commend www.simplyflowers.com.sg, itself an spinoff of the "Secret Garden" flower shop on the basement floor of raffles city, super-duper time and cost efficient, delivered on a sunday afternoon within 24 hours of ordering online! *CLAP CLAP* "Bravo!" *Cat-whistles*

Wonder if Haley's chinese name is really earnings. hmm...

Thank you for your flowers!

Haley's Chinese Name is not "earnings" but close... We named her ๆ˜ ็‘œ, sounds like profits in Chinese, right. :)

WOW! did you like the flowers? ๆ˜ ็‘œis a beautiful name, and she's such a pretty babe. i showed Haley's picture to some friends here and they all said she's got some pouty lips!! How's motherhood? one of my friend's complaining about sore nipples. hope you're enjoying it!
shoo said…
Soreness.. Yes, tell me about it. That's like initiation to motherhood. I wonder how long I can last nursing. BTW, I think Haley likes those body suits you both bought. She selectively pukes on clothes she doesn't like.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
