Today, Chloe is 1 years old… How time has flown… I can still remember the whole event leading up to her birth and then her birth (a bit of a crazy time really!) Can’t really believe that baby two is on its way and I’ll be going through it again!!

However, our journey with Chloe so far, has been a blessing - and I wouldn’t want to change a thing! To be honest, time has flown by so quickly, that I can’t even remember the exact details unless I go through my blog and pictures again! She looks SOOOO different compared to when she was born! The only thing that’s similiar is the fact that her hair still won’t grow!! She’s started to stand up whilst being aided recently, she’s crawling much better now! But in general, she’s still a lazy little girl.. She’d rather sit on her bottom or whine to be carried!!

Made a birthday cake for her (not that we’re gonna be giving it to her, as we haven’t introduced egg yet!)… Still got more cakes to bake for her party on the weekend - so I’m gonna be pretty busy these next few days.. So until then…. Au revoir!

Chloe has never worn shoes, socks yes, but shoes no!… Well, she wore the fabric shoe/sock type a few times, but that’s not included because they are like socks!

Why hasn’t she worn shoes? Don’t really know why! Maybe because she couldn’t walk, hence, we never really thought about it!

All of a sudden, Mama suggested that we buy Chloe some shoes, as she was approaching her first birthday and this may encourage her to walk?!?! Well, Mama, Chloe and I went to a few shops and eventually came across some shoes… The first ones we picked were white in colour (as we thought, this would be easier to match her clothing), then we picked up a few others (mainly pink)..

Chloe was in the pram at this point and we proceeded to try the white pair of shoes….
*SCREAMS* Chloe went crazy as I tried to put the white shoes on her feet… she would kick, scream, tears came from her eyes and she wanted to run away (like the horror with the white bunny!)… But there was nowhere for her to go as she was strapped in!!!

Oh man! What happened there?! Could the white shoes have reminded her of the bunny experience?!?! Anyways, we had no luck in tying on the shoes, but we ended up buying 2 pinkish pairs so that she could ‘play’ with them at home and get used to them!

Well, so far, she has flicked them away when I put the shoes near her, she will run away from them, she will cry… She is petrified…

Today, Allan and I managed to get them on her feet - but she wouldn’t look at her feet and wouldn’t move them… She would just cry and want to be hugged! Don’t really know what’s going on - but if my girl doesn’t like shoes in the future, she’ll save so much money!! hehe
Let’s see how this shoe saga ends up!

I know this is the weirdest thing you could possibly see on this blog, but do you know the answer to this question?

Ans: Because they want to have quality babies.

So how to make sure they have quality babies?

Ans: Make sure they stay at the high floors, so that they will have high quality babies. Even better if they stay at the penthouse, they will have the highest quality babies.

Ok.. This is not that funny, but this morning when I was still in bed and subconsciously I was thinking about this Quality Hotel thing…. Weird I know, but just blogging it so that I will have a record of this weird incident/dream.

“What country is Singapore in?” Very often I hear this question… from people living overseas. Some people might also attempt to answer their own question by continuing.. “is it somewhere in China?” or “Now which part is it in Japan, east or west?” or the ultimatum “Are you very controlled by Chinese (PRC) government?”

Sometimes I feel offended that they do not know where Singapore is, and Singapore is actually an independent nation. But after awhile, I thought, perhaps we (Singaporeans) have not done enough to get noticed. So maybe we should be more proactive in promoting our country.

Anyways, a better understanding on What country is Singapore in, read this article.

Just to show everyone what my christmas present for this year from my wife and daughter looks like..

Daisy told me to wear this over-sized t-shirt as sleeping gear.

Yay - today is open pressie’s day!!! Chloe especially loved the ‘ripping the wrapping’ game and ‘wearing her gifts’!! hehe

Went out with the family to Orchard, then spent the evening with frens at Andy’s.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas

For those who play L4D, you probably know that it is the game that hit the entire nation like a shockwave… Anyone from age 16-30s (gamers) would probably played it once since Nov 2008. It is a game which attracts even the female counterparts unlike Counterstrike.

Me and the boys (SRT) have been playing quite a bit the previous months’ weekends. And we got a bit serious, we even bought headphones with mic, so that we can play this game with full communication capabilities (a big advantage).

Daisy knows that I enjoyed this game a lot and when the weekend comes, she knows that I would like to join the boys and being the nicest wife, she always encouraged me to go join them.

Yesterday, she surprised me by saying that maybe we could go play L4D in the evening. Of cos I was ecstatic!

So we went to the local LAN shop and got ourselves 2 coms, and loaded the older version of L4D. We played the easy mode Blood Harvest map. Gave her a crash course on zombie killing and orientated her on the keyboards and off we went…

We did quite well or rather she did very well for a beginner. Other than shooting the petrol can while I was within the vicinity of it, and startling the witch, she also got slapped by THE TANK a couple of times. She played pretty good for a 1st timer. So I say if she practised a bit more, she will be able to join us in L4D2 soon!!!

No doubt she can be on my team anytime!! Dun mess with my wife, zombies!!
