Brother-in-law's Birthday, 0505.

Celebrated my BIL's birthday on the 5th May at MBS. MIL had booked a room for my BIL and his family for a night. And we were all invited. Of course the kids were happy as they love hotels. It was also for the kids to hang out while we, adults went for a nice dinner at Waku Ghin, AGAIN! Will write about that next post.

Happy Birthday, Gerald!

Pop Tots Shop BP #5 is now on!

Dear All,

Pop Tot Shop has started another round of bulk purchase.
Do visit us at poptotsshop.blogspot.com for new items.

Thanks.

Rest In Peace, Grandma.

You left us on Saturday morning, so sudden that I was abit lost for a while when I heard the news. Heard you passed away peacefully in your sleep which at least is good that you did not suffer any pain.
Although we were not very close to you, I know you do care for us all the time. Always calling to check on us to see how are we doing.

Thank you for caring for us. We will take good care of ourselves. You don't have to worry now.
Rest in peace, Ah Ma.

HFMD!

Ever since HFMD has become a well know 'celebrity', I have been praying that it will never visit my 2 sons. But that day has come, and it came in such a secretive way.  
First it visited 1 of my 2 nieces, Zara (7yr old) who was only sick with fever for 2 days and that was it. A few days later, the elder sister, Senna (9yrs old) was down with fever too and had rashes over her body. The doc diagnosed it as hives which she had it previously. So we did not think too much of it. But it only when she told us, 2 days later, that she had these little red dots on her fingertips and feet in the middle of dinner, that make all of us panicked a bit. It was also the same day that Ethan had high fever for a day.  We finished our dinner quickly and went back home while the girls went to see the doctor..

The doctor confirmed Senna had HFMD and virus was a mild one. So she should be well in about 3 -5 days. While Zara actually had HFMD too but she was almost recovered as she only had a small blister on her foot which is also drying up, lucky for her.  So the girls have to be grounded at home for the next few days before they can go to school. The girls were separated from Ethan for the next 2 days as Ethan has not shown any other signs of HFMD. It was hard as he wanted to go play with them since they were at home. He could not understand why he can’t play with them so he ends up throwing tantrums. We had to distract him with other activities so that he can forget about playing with them.

2 Days later, a few red dots began to appear on Ethan’s fingertips.  We knew then he was not spared and so we brought him to the doc. Ethan had 2 ulcers in his mouth too. We were told that the virus he had was a mild one so he will probably heal within 3-5 days. If he had more ulcers popping up, he will have to be on liquid diet and no heaty stuff for him. And we all have to wash our hand regularly.

The only good news for him was that he can play with his 2 cousins again. Lucky for him, he did not have any more ulcers other than the one he had and he only had a few blisters on his fingers. Especially on the thumb which he loves to suck, and it became an open wound for him which did not even deterred him from sucking it. He was still as active as ever and you would never have notice that he was sick.

His favourite thumb.

And finally today, the doctor certified him fit and cleared from HFMD.

New Bag Reveal: The Mission Impossible 4 bag.

After watching Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, I knew there was one thing I really had to get.
It the Prada bag that the female spy was carrying in the show. It looks great! I had to get my hands on one.

So finally after finding out the model of the bag, I found one in a local boutique. It the Prada Saffiano Lux Tote, BN2274. And decided on this color.

Totally love how versatile the bag can be. Sling on the shoulder or crossbody for the casual look or carry on the arm for the elegant look.  Currently my everyday bag!

Staycation at Fairmount Singapore

Recently we had a staycation at Fairmount Singapore. And once again Ethan somehow manage to charm the lovely lady at the counter to upgrade us to one of their bigger rooms.

The Bedroom

Walk in wardrobe.

Big bathroom with a nice tub

I like the look of the sink area.

 My boys are especially happy whenever we have a staycation. They seem to enjoy it very much especially Ethan. It always means that he will get to go swimming. This time round Ean can't go as he is still recovering from his cough so only Ethan gets to go with Daddy.

One of the most crowded hotel pool.

As I was sick with almost no voice, I can only lie in bed while the kids enjoy themselves. Hope to try out more hotels next time.

Just the 2 of us.

Last Mar, Daddy ET and I went for a holiday in Bangkok. Just the 2 of us, no friends, family or kids. A short getaway spending time together and enjoying things we like, spa, eating and shopping...
Although we felt a little guilty but we think it is good for us to spend some 'us' time.

And so we went, to the land of thousand smiles. This time we stayed in Banyan Tree hotel as I bought a coupon deal last year. Hotel was great,service was good and we really enjoyed ourself.

We also went up to the hotel's famous rooftop bar, Moon Bar to have a drink. It connected to the Vertigo restaurant and the view from the top was amazing!

We went to our usual favourite place for food and shopping. And we also went to this new shopping mall, Terminal 21. It a new shopping mall just beside the Asoke BTS. It's an airport theme shopping mall and every level has a different theme based on the various city of the word. I personally like the Japan level, where beauty and fashion are more for ladies.  Daddy ET likes London level as there are alot of man shops there.

Below are some of our 'must eat' when we are there. I miss Bangkok already.
