Singapore Idol

Just want to take some time to congratulate Hady Mirza, our new Singapore Idol! I voted for him. He really has a good voice and I hope he goes far in his career. As for Jonathan, I don't think he'll do too badly either. I'm sure he'll succeed as well. Anyway, there won't be a Singapore Idol 3 so it's just Taufiq and Hady. I'm glad it's them though. I am a fan. Hee hee.

Pretty in Pink

Here's Ayra parading her newly bought pink boots and dress. Don't you think she looks cute?

Every cloud has a silver lining....

Ayra is unwell. She started off with the flu which progressed to fever. Yesterday, she had diarohea and there was blood in her stools. The doctor put us on standby and told us to go to the hospital if it got worse. Both she and I haven't had that much to sleep the past few nights. She's rather weak now but recovering slowly.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining. As she was suffering so much, we finally coaxed her into doing the impossible. Eat her medicine! We've been trying for 2 years now to get her to eat medicine. We've had to resort to the trusty suppository whenever she had fever and when it wasn't fever, just gave her lots of liquids and prayed hard. We even tried to force medicine down her throat and she will just throw it all up. Last night though, she relented and we managed to spoon down 3 types of medicine. Hooray!

She's resting now. I do hope she will be her cheerful, active self soon. As for Fuddin, he's having his day nap too. Thank God he's healthy now. He's running around more than usual and eating more too. He definitely is a growing boy. Here are some pics of ill Ayra and healthy Fuddin.

Dinner & Dance

Me and An went to his company's dinner and dance last Saturday. The theme was retro. It was all right. The food at Four Seasons was all right and the MC was hilarious but sadly, An didn't win any of the lucky draw prizes. He was, however, picked on by the MC to lead his group in a game. All those present had a good laugh at his expense. He seemed embarrased by it all but i really couldn't pass the chance of showcasing my dear husband's talent. Haha.

Happy Teacher's Day

First of all, Happy teacher's Day to all the teachers out there, including me. It's weird actually how some students are so nice to you on this day and not so nice every other day. Still, one day is better than none. My school had it's fair share of celebrations. On Wednesday night, we had dinner at Clarke Quay. The food was good but Ayra, who came along, didn't appreciate it. She ended up eating crackers and plain rice. Still, she was happy to walk around after dinner with Auntie Nat holding her hand. On Thursday, we had our school celebrations. My dear class outdid themselves. I had actually asked for a party (no shame whatsoever) but i was in another class during the time they had planned the party. Finally, they couldn't wait any longer and the whole class brought the cake and food to me. It was really a pleasant surprise! During recess, we continued with our little party and took many photos which will serve as good memories. All in all, it was a good teacher's day for me, thanks to 4N3. I appreciate it guys! I'll remember you guys always and wish you all the best for the coming N levels.

The Beach

We woke up early today to go to East Coast beach. We promised Ayra before that we would go there to build sandcastles (like baby Cheryl). When we got there though, the weather was not good. The sky was dark so we hurriedly got down to business. Sad to say, none of us had the patience to build a proper sandcastle and soon we had abandoned the idea. We walked by the beach instead and got our feet wet. We tried looking for seashells but only found one which Ayra promptly picked up and brought home. Maybe next time we'll build a proper sandcastle. For now, we still can build sandcastles in the air. Hee hee.

Underwater World at Sentosa

Today, we visited the sea creatures at Underwater World. It was a short trip but an enjoyable one! Ayra was pretty amazed by the size of some of the fishes. The last time me and my family went there was about 8 years ago! Dad says the fishes are the same ones. Maybe they are. As for Fuddin, he was distant as usual but did express occasional interest. Anyway, here are the pics to remember our outing by.
