More baby gifts for Baby Yam!

We've received some advanced gifts for Baby Yam, to welcome her into the world (although she hasn't arrive yet...hee). We like them all, and I am sure Baby Yam will like them too!



We also got more things for her, from Kidzloft, using the 50% recession buster voucher. A very worthy discount!

Farm Measurement - Cow

Farm Combi High Chair & Table



It can set up & combined to be as a high chair by itself, or separated to be a table-and-chair. Cute & innovative right! Can use for many years till Baby grows older...

My Secret Wish

I have a secret wish, especially ever since I got pregnant...

I always like this song "The Greatest Love of All" - it was the advertisement song from Great Eastern, about children. So I always link this song to the love for children, the naive & pure smiles of the children.

My secret wish is to have a video/photo clip made, about scenes when I am due for labour, when our baby is born, and the mother-child love displayed after the baby is born and in our arms..., with the background song "The Greatest Love of All".

It is my secret wish, and I always visualise in my mind. Even if this wish doesn't realise, I can always imagine how wonderful & touching the scenes will be...

It's just my secret wish

Birthday Celebration with the Sistas




Date/Day: 27 June 09 (Sat)
Venue: Mandarin Oriental @ The Melt Cafe

Started the day freshly-bathe and a good mood, which got damaged by a stupid cab driver!

Me decided to take a cab to the hotel because there's no straight bus from my area, and also I want to minimize walking and perspiring. Little do I know that there's a roadblock in Marina area due to NDP rehearsal, and that stoopid cab driver missed a turn towards Temasek Ave, and drove straight to S'pore Flyer where the road block starts!!! In the end he has to drop me there and I have to walk almost 200m from the S'pore Flyer to the hotel!!!!!!!!! He is a stupid cab driver!! I shouldn't have trusted him thinking that he will know the road directions better than me!

Anyway, heard good reviews about this buffet so decided to try. A little disappointed cuz there are no fresh seafood spread, but anyway I can't eat them (for fear of bacteria contamination) while at pregnancy stage, so i din lugi after all..haha..I must definitely go and have a proper buffet, with fresh seafood, sashimi after I give birth!!

Ate more of the cooked food (Asian delights), skipped the Indian food delights, and gobbled up the nice desserts~ (thou can't stomach the delicious looking cakes in the end so din manage to try..)

At the sushi counter - As the tomago sushi touches the raw fish sushi, I politely requested for the sushi chef to make a fresh tomago sushi for me. He is so inflexible and rejected my request, saying he has to go by the book la, cannot lor. So stupid!

Despite there's no cake, no birthday song singing, no wishes making, its a nice lunch gathering with the sistas. Had a very filling buffet lunch and feelin' so stuffed after that.

Thanks sistas for the birthday angpow! Much to go into my baby furniture purchases...

Birthday Gathering with XMS Badminton Girls




Combined both Huijing (May birthday girl) and my (July birthday girl) in this birthday gathering.

Got to know that Huijing is now more than 6 months old pregnant with Junior Lam and its a boy! Was guessing if she's pregnant when at Wanling's wedding in May but decided to wait for her to announce the good news. Now its so obvious that no need to announce liao..hee.. She's due in Sep. So happy that we've 3 little moo-moos in our team ( Teris had her baby in April, mine in July, and hers in Sep) .. It's so wonderful to receive such good news and Baby Yam is going to have so many new friends!

Although we didn't have any birthday cake or blow any candles this year, I still hope both of our heartfelt wishes will come true!

The work of the nursury room starts here...


Papa Yam and Grandpa Yam worked hand-in-hand, on Baby Yam's nursery room today while Mama Yam has to stay away...
  • Arrival of the cot - unassembled state

  • Starting work on the IKEA furniture....

The Hensvik Shelf Unit


The Sniglar Changing Table


The APA N Toy Storage Box


This is my favourite piece of the furniture! The Hensvik Storage Unit. Can't wait to decorate it with books, toys etc...


The Aneboda Chest-of-3-drawers to keep Baby Yam's clothes


The Winnie the Pooh Wallpaper border - Part of the nursury room's deco...
Although the majority of the furniture has been duly assembled (thanks to the hard work efforts by Papa and Grandpa Yam), they have not been properly placed at their position yet. The Winnie wallpaper can only be pasted and the cot can only be assembled after I give birth. Well, at least I got a bit of the "feel" of Baby Yam's nursery room with all these at the moment... Shall look forward to the complete look of the nursery room after Baby Yam arrives in this world... *Excited*

More toys for Baby Yam!

There's a Fisher-Price Toys Sale going on @ Raffles City now, and Papa Yam can't resist buying more toys for his little darling....

A Kick-and-Whirl Carnival

This is Uncle Mus & Aunty Janet's gift for Baby Yam (thou' chosen by ourselves.) Thanks guys! We will let Baby Yam know once she started playing with this toy 

Winnie the Pooh - Muscial Glow Pooh

Oh, we can't resist buying this toy, so its only ME who can't resist, cuz this toy is so cuddly and it lets out a soothing lullaby song when pressed its tummy. The blue little kittie toy that Winnie the Pooh is holding, will also light up. We can put in his cot or put in the car as Baby Yam's companion toy. We got this toy at a further discount when we receive a $5 Robinsons voucher after buying the Kick-and-Whirl Carnival. Hee.. Thanks to Papa Yam's clever thinking and calculation by separating the 2 purchases.

I find that Fisher-Price toys are designed according to different age stages for the children and they are really nice, fun, but very expensive! Hope Baby Yam will love these toys in the meantime!!!

34 weeks: Another few more weeks to countdown!

Can't believe that its another few weeks down the road that Baby Yam will finally get to see the world! Once I reach 36 weeks, I should be on stand-by mode anytime! Haha... Papa Yam gets nervous everytime he is being reminded of the limited time he has to do his preparation chores! haha

Got issued the admission slip by the gynae, so that I can admit into hospital anytime I am due for delivery! So ganjiong! One of my colleagues' waterbag broke in the office today and went for delivery right after lunch! Hope it doesn't happen to me in the office. I will be so flustered. Just in case, I better get my hospital bag packed ready.. hee...

Went to see Baby Yam's updates today...As usual, waited for more than 1 and 1/2 hours before getting to see the gynae & Baby Yam. We were halfway through the scanning & only got a glimpse of the baby when the gynae got an emergency call for delivery. As it was the 2nd child, she said it will be a fast delivery so we waited at her office for another 15-20mins before she returned to resume the scanning.

Baby Yam is progressing very good! She is now 2.1kg and is a good size now. Mummy Yam has stopped gaining excessive weight while Baby is growing well! It's a good sign. I no longer have the "legitimate" reason to eat more for the sake of Baby liao..hee.. I have to resume to my normal diet now. Anyway I no longer have that hearty appetite, probably because Baby is taking so much space in my tummy and quite high up to the top of my tummy.

Her head is still facing downwards but not engaged yet, so there is a very high possibility that I can have a normal delivery, thou won't be due for delivery anytime soon...

Our next visit shall be on my birthday - 3rd July 09!!! Seeing her growing well & healthily shall be one of my birthday gifts bah

NTUC Income SRC D&D: Blackjack Shanghai Night




This is my first year attending Dear's company's D&D...with a big tummy! Past few years have attended together with him, but this time round, together with Baby Yam inside my tummy! Can't really dress up cuz restricted by the choice of clothes, shoes I can wear. Also affected by my bloated double-chined face, and body... No mood to really dress up lah. Juz picked a dress from the wardrobe and add some simple makeup and accessories, and off I go to the party!

As usual, the emcee for the night by Stagewerkz is real funny and RA (that makes him funny!) He also looks like an Ah Beng Botak!

What irks us most is an aunty ang-moh looking entertainer who looks like ah-gua(?) and is horny and desperate!!! She asked 2 single, and unattached men to go up to the stage, and started fondling their hair, chest, and even pulled/unbuttoned their top, revealing their bare chest and 那两点!!!! Aiyo!!!! So 恶心!!! 老牛吃嫩草哦....

Oh we also took a couple picture at their photography booth there, by professional photographer. Both of us look so chubby in the picture!!! Well, I am pregnant, so I have valid reason to look chubbier..but not the same goes for my hubby.. wahaha... We have to strive to slim down together after I give birth, and resume our looks many years back : P

Finale of Baby Spree

7 June 09: Went to the 2 major baby hypermarts @ Kaki Bukit, with another parents-to-be couple friend. It's their first time there, so they are more into see-see-look-look at the ranges of baby items while it's our 2nd time there, and our purpose is to get some finale items for the baby spree. Got items like:
  • Classic Winnie the Pooh Bedding Set
  • Classic Winnie the Pooh pillow & bolster case (extras)
  • Farm Animals Bedsheet, pillow & bolster case (to put at in-law's place)
  • Bathing tub (to put at in-law's place)
After our lunch, we proceed to the Motherhood Exhibition @ Expo for 2nd round of purchase which we didn't manage to get at the baby hypermarts. Got items like:
  • Beanie Pillow & pillow case
  • Forehead thermometer
  • Signed up for Jamu massage and slimming for myself (b'day gift requested by me)
As usual, got a few freebies here and there, and also managed to get quite a few items, including toys for Baby Yam! This is the only thing that we havn't bought any for the past few months as we were busy getting the essentials. So its time for us to get some toys to pamper our baby who's arriving in another month's time!!! Woohoo! Can't wait for the time to come..haha..

13 June 09: We finally got to buy the baby's furniture @ IKEA today...


Look at all the big and heavy boxes of furniture that Dear carried all by himself cuz the pregnant me can only help with that small rattan chair and the 2 white boxes..hee.. Of cuz he din do it all at one go la.. Its impossible.. He made a few trips up and down to carry them from his car to the house. Yes, we managed to pack all these in our 小红's backseat and boot! Another amazing feat by 小红! Now he can't find his hands liao (lost feeling in his hands liao..) Wahaha...

Can't wait to start Phase 1 of the cleaning and assembling of baby's furniture, and the arrival of the baby's cot next weekend!

Happy 92nd Birthday to Grandma!

Grandma is 92 years old!


Blowing out the birthday candles with great-grandma

A Welcome Gift for Klaske Le Jia Van

My dear good old friend Teris gave birth to a lovely princess, Klaske Le Jia Van Den Bos, on 18 April 2009

When she was first born.. So chubby right?

Few weeks old.. Such a lovely princess!

Aunty Tianxin made a simple card with my minimum scrapbooking skills, for Princess Klaske and also included a gift of baby's cap & pair of mittens which bear the words " Welcome to the World!"

"Welkom In De Wereld" - This is dutch translation of "Welcome to the World!"
(Used google translator one..hee.. Hope its correct!)

Hope Klaske will like it!
