With the Great Singapore Sale on, we decided to start purchasing things for little bb. Actually we even started before the GSS in Brisbane. Whenever we go shopping nowadays, it usually out looking at the baby stuffs. We practically went crazy at DFO in Brisbane.
Look at all the clothings which we had purchased. They were pretty cheap so we decided to purchase some.. But without realising it, we purchased that many. 
This is my personal favourite!
These are the things which her Daddy wanted to get for her. Nike socks and a dress. Haha. 
Things bought by my colleagues when they were out shopping on their own. Aren't they cute? We also received news that there was a carnival ongoing at Philips and we headed down to look at the prices. Since we have been on the lookout, we knew that the items were really cheaper then when its on sale at the departmental store and purchased some items. Well, not some.. but quite a bit. Hahaha.
The weather was pretty hot then as I headed over after my gynae appointment in the morning. Only when we reached home, we realised that there were some items that were free in the steriliser which we had added on in the purchase. Now we have additional pacifier and teats for newborn. Hiaz.... The items spend at the Philips Carnival was about $400 already. This is not including the items which we had bought at the Robinson Sale and in Brisbane. We also still need to get the big items like the stroller and the baby cot. We plan to get the baby cot which will enable us to use it till bb is around 4 or 5 years old. Hopefully there will be a good bargain with the GSS here.

We are back from Brisbane! The trip was a little to short as we were there for only 4 days. We wanted to extend however it was too late as the air tickets were already booked and cannot be changed. There will be another time I guess. After we touched down at Brisbane Airport, we collected our rented cars and spend a while at the airport car park figuring how to move the car seat forward! hahaha... As we arrived at midnight, the car park was pretty dark and we could not find the button to open the boot! hahahah. After fumbling for a while we finally found the right buttons and we headed off to our service apartment at Oaks Charlotte Towers. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room which were all pretty nice!
The living room from the balcony
The Bedroom
The toilet.
On the second day, we had our Team Building activities. We were divided into groups and to perform some art on a painting which was actually divided into 16 pieces. There were a lot of chaos at the beginning as the painting had to be matched and the colours were different. We managed to finished the entire painting on time and here is the result! 
The picture does not have any meaning to it. We even added our company logo to it haha. 
The group picture with the finished product. The second half of the day was Hell Kitchen, where we had to cook two dishes and to present it. We all headed over to Woodsworth to purchase our items and there were a lot of fun trying to get the best bargains from the supermarket. Luckily Dear taught me to purchase everything and anything that is their housebrands and we managed a savings of $14. Hahhaa.
Karin's group presenting their dishes
Leong's group with Dionex logo!
Presenting while telling a long long story. Hahahha 
Shane presenting the winning team with their crowns. 
The second day the rest of the group went to take part in the Go Kart. With my present condition, I am unable to play so we opted out of it and went over to some factory outlet to shop and South Banks in the afternoon for a walk. We met up with some of them in the evening for dinner at South Banks and Mt Coota following dinner.
The third day we headed over to Harbour Town for more shopping but I did not manage to purchase as many things as I had at DFO as the shops were almost the same. We bought mostly things for the bb like overall and all as they were really cheap. Dear managed to get a pair of Levis while bb got 5 suits! We ended our day at Surfer's Paradise and headed back to Brisbane town for dinner.
Oh me look so fat!

We will be going to Brisbane soon! Hurray. This the destination for the company trip that we will be having this year. The initial plan was to fly to Koh Samui however due to some delays, there were no air tickets for the return trip. They have also checked it out and found that the air tickets to Australia was even cheaper then the flight to Koh Samui. So they decided to change the venue to Brisbane. Hahah. What a blessing in disguise.

Sorry for the lack of blogging... I was away for a business trip and held some gathering of old friends at my place. I still have a few more gathering to organise. I chose to have various small gatherings rather than a big one as I could chat with our friends and have more time with them. If I have a big housewarming party, I will not be able to spend time with them.
So if I have yet to invite you over to my place, I am sorry. I am in the mist of planning. kekeke.
Yesterday, I attending Jeannie and Ben's wedding. She was so beautiful in her gown, I was admiring her that I forgot to take photos with her. They had a special "march in", they jogged into the ballroom with no. tags behind them like they are in a marathron. However on the no. tags were the words "JUST MARRIED". Hahaa... Isn't it cute???
In their montage, they re-enacted how Ben started off the relationship with Jeannie.... Thru a packet of tissue paper. Hahhaa. The people who assisted Ben in the "courtship" was David and the rest of the gang. Hahaha... To imagine that was almost 10 years back.
Ben and Jeannie, wishing that you guys be happy always!

It has been a while since I blogged cos we have been pretty busy with house warmings and preparing for the new year.
Had reunion dinner with my in-laws at my place this year as we have yet to have a meal with them at our new place after we moved in. We just prepared steamboat and a few dishes and that was it. I do miss having reunion dinners with my parents and relatives. Things are really different now... But it is not of a choice, I could not possibily ask either one of the party to have the dinner earlier for me. It just doesn't seem right.
First day of new year was hectic! We went over to my parent's place early in the morning and headed over to grandma's place. We came home in the afternoon and headed over to my in-laws place before heading over to his grandma's place where all the relatives gathered. We went home and plopped into bed. Hahhaa.
The second day of new year was better with lunch at my parent's place while all my relatives gathered there. We headed over to his aunt's place which is just a few mins away from my parent's place.
Yesterday, we had his colleagues over and today was his aunt. Haha. We are really tired....
Will have my Uni friends gathering at my place next week after the zoo run! Oh, we have yet to obtain the goody bag. hmmm...
