it's been almost a month since i last blogged!haha....enjoying my hols too much la.... it's so nice spending time with my daughter especially since she's trying to achieve more and more new milestones each day!!!i've been having sooo much fun... hehe... so, i shall briefly talk about everything that's happened since my last post.....11 - 13 Dec, my entire family 14 adults and 3 kids went on a road trip to KL to visit our paternal relatives.... had loads of fun, and LOTS of bonding.....it's been so long.....far too overdue... our last one was in 2003 to Genting.... i love visiting my relatives in KL... so much warmth.. maybe it's the absence that strengthens the relationship?? Anyway, our main aim was also for them to meet Baby Faith.... =) we went to pay respects to our grandparents too.........took some photos, which u can check out on Baby Faith's blog....Faith was an absolute darling on the trip......never once making a fuss for no rhyme or reason nor throwing a tantrum.....we're so speechlessly proud of her.... =)14 Dec, Darling's younger bro's wedding. It was Faith's first time attending a wedding. =) she even served tea to them.... hehe.... many thanks to Winson for agreeing to help out as their photographer on such short notice.....15 Dec, had dinner with Sheena, Darling and Baby Faith @ Phin's steakhouse, coz I just felt like steak.. hehe....must say that the food quality has definitely increased... =D16 Dec, brought my grandparents, mum and Faith out for lunch at Nan Bei.... our fave Chinese restaurant after Sheena brought us there... much cheaper and nicer than Crystal Jade Kitchen.. =)19 and 20 Dec, did grocery and xmas shopping...... love our xmas pressies this year, coz they are so much more meaningful, for our loved ones... hehe...and they are from Baby Faith... hehe...21 Dec, went to buy Darling's anniversary present.......you know, it's quite hard to get surprises for each other these days, especially since we spend every waking moment with each other and Faith!!! thank God i have my hols to go gallivanting! hahaha....it's harder for my poor darling though, since other than work, he's never away from us!!!! =p so anyway, i wanted to make a calendar for darling, filled with photos of our little family...but i gathered that he wouldn't display it at work, and it'd end up on our computer table drawing dust...so i gave up on the idea....... ended up settling his material wants instead......after all, if you know my darling well enough, he hates spending money on himself.....i've to coax him a million times before he'll buy it...and he's one of those pple who'll see something they like, yet refuse to buy it....but gain contentment simply by going back to the shop to view it over and over again...this stupid habit of his has caused him to miss out on this lovely pair of berms from Nike that went out of stock!!! SIGH.... since he's been wanting his Liverpool jersey since last season, i decided to buy 2 of the 3 available jerseys for him...as well as a PS3 game... since he won't splurge on himself, i'll splurge for him!!!hehe....i got a lovely mini whiteboard from him for my TO-Do lists at school!!!! i fell in love with it once i set eyes on it...but... didn't want to buy it...felt it was more a want than a need....so darling bought it for me secretly!!! =D22 Dec, our 2nd wedding anniversary and Baby Faith's turning 9 months!!! we checked out this great place from http://ieatishootipost.com for great food....and we found this place Yakiniku Daidomon located at United Square..... if you didn't already know, i'm a total beef lover...... and darling and me love our fair share of meats.... haha... so, we decided to go....it costs 45.90++ per pax....but the food was fantastic..... can't wait to go there again....... u must really love your meats to enjoy this place....hehehe... for the pics, you can check them out here...23 Dec, since today is the official anniversary of the date we got together... (7 years and counting!), we decided to give ourselves a little treat and go watch Avatar together....i totally LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie man...... the visual effects are stunning...so much so that i wanna visit Pandora myself! and the storyline is great.....i loved it.... it's indescribable..... the picturesque forest is still so clear in my head...i think i'm gonna end up dreaming about it tonight.... watching the show, it just irks me to realize how us humans are entirely capable of being as ruthless and cruel as what is depicted in the movie. in fact, we are already doing that...... to kill entire families for the sake of money? sheesh. who the hell do we think we are? just because God gifted us with more abilities and 'brains' than the other living things on earth doesn't mean we ought to take it all for granted.......... i really and truly feel that we deserve 2012 if we as a total human race fail in such a sense...............Anywayz, on to other things, Faith is really crawling everywhere now....... the best thing about her newfound ability is her reaction when she sees someone come home..... she hears footsteps, then turns around to look.....when she hears the key opening our house lock, she squeals in utter delight then crawls frantically to reach the door in record time to welcome you with the brightest smile ever!!!! a sight like that makes you forget all your troubles.... =)no doubt she has her moments where i get so terribly annoyed with her antics.... but i must say, it is true that a mummy can feel her children.... i somehow know what she is feeling if i allow myself to chill and think like her.... she is showing more and more of her personality, and darling and i both agree that she is really outgoing, just like me.....haha...but she's extremely stubborn.... just like the both of us. It turns out that she loves the both of us lots and lots....but she's afraid when i get angry with her. i don't even have to raise my voice... i just have to stare at her.... hmm... i wonder if it's a teacher thing! hahaha.... but on the other hand, she's capable of abusing her father's love for her and gets angry when he speaks sternly to her...so much so that she refuses to be carried by him! can u believe how audacious this little 'angel' is?? =p yet i must say that she really is adorable and knows how to use her cuteness to her advantage...haha.... she's squealing more and more these days, and is constantly trying to pull herself to stand on anything and everything around the house! she's had a couple of knocks trying to do so...but well, falls and knocks are part of growing up... as long as they're not too serious, i guess it's all okay...... =)really can't wait for her to start talking and cruising more steadily!!!!6 more days till it's back to work.....*shudders*...i just wish the hols would never end!!!
