Baby lizard didn’t need a fist nor a bottle to eat up baby cockroach. Baby lizard felt indignant that I gave the credit to baby lizard.

Baby lizard claimed he doesn’t do 3DL earlier today after he had woken up to read my blog.

“But I do.” I smirked.

This post was meant to be blogged much earlier, but then the fatigue from the goings-on just didn’t make it happen.

Anyway, from the erratic posts since mid-August, I am just so amazed, and equally amused, by how much my intuition serves me.

Too well.

I was actually too lazy to blog. But after I ran out programs to watch, ran out of emails to reply, ran out of phone calls to make, ran out of blogs to read, ran out of gossips to bitch… ran out of people to run to, I am back to square one.

So yeap. I am going to blog about the 25th and 26th of August… the weekend that I spent with Minibean that I didn’t have the time to blog about.

Dad had sent Minibean back to me on Saturday morning, and I had ample rest before welcoming her at the door in my nightie. Child seat rules!

My mum dressed her up in a pretty white dress, and she flaunted her femininity before Mummy!

Okay, uhm not this.

Slightly better.

She now knows how to play kok-kok(a special skills she had for the longest time.. if you place your forehead to hers, she would knock her forehead against yours), shake hand, and over this week she had been with me, I taught her hi-five(which she picked up instantly with ease!).

She even knows how to flaunt her dimples. Heh.

Only thing I fail to tame is her tongue-sticking habit. What to do? She has been doing that since she was incubating inside me.

So I stop trying, though my mum still relentlessly tries to stop that habit.

I like this though I look like crap.

You have no idea how difficult it is for her to sit still to take a picture these days.

After a long nap in the afternoon where we both tried to catch a little more sleep, we woke up in the evening, to get ready to head out.

She is happy.

Okay… so she is so not a fan of Mummy.

Uncle Roy had asked us to join the rest of the guys at Cafe Del Mar to celebrate Charles’ birthday.

I was hesitant with the decision since I didn’t have transport, and as much as every new year we gambled at Charles’ place, our interactions are still very limited.

Still, Uncle Roy insisted and I brought Minibean to meet him and Mel at Mel’s place, where Max would pick him from Bishan, and pick Mel up, and then he would pick Brian and Ferris up from Carlton Hotel.

Minibean was happy to be out! Uncle Roy and Brian were both stacked at the back of the SUV.

And there were people who were willing to share the load with me when we were in the car. Hehehe.

And ta-dang! Minibean at Cafe Del Mar!

I know, I know, detractors are gonna say how it is not suitable for kids, but mind you, a 3 year-old girl was celebrating her birthday inside with her family!She had lots of attention, and Bikai and Tiffany(she’s like, great. Met her a few times. Looks, intelligence and poise.. and she’s good with Minibean!) were the best with her. Bikai even lent his hat to Minibean.

And I know not what got to her, she actually did a classic pose with the hat.

Baby, as much as you think that is cool, that is sooooo not cool. It’s too 80s. Passe!

But it is amazing to bring her to somewhere where everyone wanted to carry her. Even her. It is just cool cos she enjoys the love and attention everyone showered her.

It wasn’t long before Raiyan took her over and she leaned in comfortably… and fell asleep.

And she just…. succumbed to the zzz monster!

And then it was great to finally put faces to the names like Lawrence(Weipeng and Ferris were being really ‘helpful’ there haha), Raiyan, the hilarious Farmy, and of course the bunch that were deemed the more ‘happening and cooler’ bunch.

All of us were hungry and we left Sentosa in the SUV(Farmy, Ferris, Max, Mel, Roy, Baby and me), and the cool chicks were leaving too.

The guys started mocking at themselves how ‘sia suey’ they were since they were all in one car, whilst the girls each had a car to themselves, and flashy ones, no less.

I do find the girls familiar, since they were from Citi, and the guys started laughing at how they had became uncles, and how in an SUV(Ferris: Wah! They all fast and furious and we all squeeze in a SUV!) with a baby(Ferris: We have a baby somemore!) made them look so uncool. Cough cough.

Uncle Ferris ‘chopped’ Charissa 15 years down the road. Though I believe he would have 3 months in hand to groom her before she turns legal.

I rolled my eyes and joked most probably he wouldn’t have the stamina to keep up, and he spoke confidently… cough.

I think Minibean does fancy Uncle Ferris.. or perhaps it was just the glasses. From the day she first saw him during Chinese New Year, she had never taken her sights off him.

Awww…

We went for supper at River Valley, where Nick joined us.

“Okay, Uncle Ferris, I will be yours if you still have hair 2 decades from now!”

Look at the straws in her hands. She refused to remove them from her hands and when I tried to take it away when she was sleeping in the cab, she jolted awake, look at the straw, snatch it back, and went back to sleep.

!!!!!

And of course, she is very happy in Uncle Ferris’ arms.

And heh, Mummy also had a picture on a vespa when she was a baby!

I bought a new bag that is big enough to put her into. Hehe.

Finally lulled her to sleep since we had a long day ahead on Sunday.

***

She pulled my hair to wake me up when I ignored her whimpers, her gurgles.

She did so by putting her hand through the cot’s grills, and I was sleeping very near to the cot.

Still, it was a fabulous way to wake up to greet the day With such a smile, it is hard not to melt anyone.

Playing hide and seek with her under the duvet.

And she fell asleep. Love this picture too.

When she woke up, we hurried to Raffles Place with Dad sending us, to meet the rest of the BRATS.

On our way out…

Like I said, she’s not exactly a fan of Mummy. Haha.Minibean at Raffles Place!

Since Mummy was going to be really busy, there is still the babysitters’ help!

I was doing fitting at Raffles Place, where the vendor also required pictures to vet the girls since he was overseas.

And that was how you guys saw the pictures I first posted.

So my babysitter number 1.

Trying to lure her with the milk bottle.

Okay.. verdict: Passed.

Cindy and I! Love that babe!

During my break.

I think she seems quite fascinated by the Coke bottle.

What you doing baby?!

No! You don’t do that with Coke bottles!

I will never look at Coke bottles the same way ever again. Especially after yesterday.

See! BAD INFLUENCE!

My baby can roll her tongue!

Nanny number 1 and 2. Look so much like gay couple huh?

I really love how happy she looks in this picture.

I always look at her smiling pictures, and I will have the urge to cry.

All of us then waited for a cab to head back to Sim Lim and Uncle Roy expressed his disbelief that in his words, “This thing can come out from you!”

The obligatory “family picture” with Roy when we were in the lift.

Dad picked us up from Sim Lim and I hugged her and slept all the way to JB.

I adore the times when she would lean on my very flat chest, and just place her little hand on me as she snooze…

Just before saying goodbye to her…

“Look Ma, one hand!”

I wish I could pinch her cheeks right now

Like I said, she is REEAAALLLLY not a fan of mine.

My last shot with her before I left for Singapore.

***
Wonder how Minibean is like after 3 shots of vodka?

Damn cute, right?

It is yet another rainy night…

I was on the phone with SBB when the wind started to howl, as I enjoyed my supper of McDee’s.

I rushed down to Sim Lim today to check on the part-timer, had a drink and then made sure my sample piece was already on the way.

I went back to office today, and waited for more than an hour without seeing my boss.

Someone new saw me, and she said she find me really familiar.

And then she said she might have seen me on television before, and someone asked if it was ‘SHOOT 3′, and she exclaimed, “Oh! You were the one after Maia Lee.”

I giggled nervously, but her reactions were really genuine and cute. It was nice but I was shy.

I left for Tiong Bahru, and it gets to me that I bought something from Guardian and I saw it seconds later in Watson’s and it costs 10 cents cheaper. I must be a really cheapo cos I was quite annoyed. It is just a quirk of mine.

And the guy on my sofa last night? He was a friend who dropped by to return me some cash and while I was eating the McDee’s he bought for me, he fell asleep, and he left just as I went to the carpark to get SBB up.

And about last night… it was fantastic.

Too fantastic. ROAR!

For the first time in a long while, I heard his snores before he heard mine.
