Sorry for not updating in ages! Been slightly busy - so today, I will try to update you all with all the happenings!

Well, let’s start off with today… This afternoon, I went on a course and learnt how to make yummy cupcakes and how to decorate them with rolled fondant… Was really fun, but I’m telling you - I’ve so lost that artistic feel cos whilst trying to put the delicate decorations on the cupcakes, I was lost for inspiration and my hands were shaking! It’s been ages since I’ve dealt with very small stuff!!! I mean, whilst looking after Chloe - it’s all about a proper grip!!! And yip, if you’re wondering - I made it all… every single detail!!

Anyways, It’s my Chloe’s birthday soon - and the original reason why this course came up was because I wanted to make her first birthday cake! A bit adventurous really! However, still unsure about the style and type of cake!!! And whether I really have the energy or effort or time to make it! But we will see!?

What else has been happening?
-Mainly, looking after Chloe, taking her out swimming, Gymboree, shopping, socialising…
-My birthday (a quiet one this year as Huppy and I were both not feeling well!)
-Helpping out at the RC
-Lunch/dinner events with friends
-Cinema (you guys gotta see ‘Law abiding citizen’… Great film - if you’re into that sort of film!)

Firstly, Merry Christmas to you and your family…

Secondly, I must apologise for not updating my blog recently, since my return to the land of the heat - Singapore! Seem to have been really busy - with what exactly? Who knows!?!?? Time just flies and before you know it, the day has ended!

Anyways, today is Christmas Day and we had some relatives over… DnA cooked… Hupps - the roast chicken main dish, moi - the dessert and Christmas/Birthday cake for Allan’s second Uncle… Not really a traditional Christmas dinner though - cos Allan’s relatives aren’t that keen on western food like that!! The elder generation think that if they don’t have rice, they won’t be full!!! Ummm… Thank goodness, we only served “sort-of-Christmas lunch”! So that if they aren’t full - it can be rectified at their dinner meal!!! hehe

The menu for today:
-Roast Chicken with herbs
-Steamed veg (carrots, sweetcorn, peas)
-Mushroom gravy
-Sausages
-French fries
-Chocolate mousse-type dessert
-Chocolate sponge cake with icing and strawberries

This Christmas is a relatively quiet Christmas - maybe cos Chloe sleeps at 7pm, hence, we try not to go out too late - as it may disturb her routine? Anyways, looking forward to tomorrow - Boxing Day - cos it’s opening pressies time!!

We played badminton on Tues with Philip and Lulita, played again yesterday with Jaslyn and Weisheng (aka James, but only to be called by girls.. lol) We enjoyed both sessions very much. It has been about 2 years since DnA played badminton together, considering that we do almost everything together, 2 years is a long time.

Can’t blame us for not putting in effort, but badminton is not a sport that a pregnant mother should go for, so actually Daisy has to be off the court, not able to play for 9 months. Then because of the fact that she is breastfeeding Chloe, and due to that, her body is “slowing down” the relaxin draining, so she cannot do vigorous exercises. Hence she is very cautious about it and did not dare to do any impact stuff until after 6 months of childbirth.

Next monday is another session, looking forward to that.

Went to Caerphilly garden centre where there were decorations and Santa’s Grotto… Didn’t go into Santa’s Grotto but took some pics of the outside bit!! Bit stingy - cos not paying £7 when the kids don’t know what’s happening and will probably cry when Santa Claus tries to hold them and sit them on their lap to take a pic!!

Then went home to set up our Christmas deco… Loving the deco!

Met some of my besties for dinner this evening… And although we’re growing up now, have our own lives - I love the fact that some things never change….

I thank God for my family, my frens of old and new - I am truely blessed

Today, Chloe bum shuffled from one edge of the bed to the other… Nothing super super fast - but enough to make me notice!!

Chloe can’t crawl yet - but has been on her tummy, with her legs straight and using her arms to push herself backwards!!!

Oh man! People say that ‘Bum Shufflers’ totally miss out the crawling stage and take ages to actually walk - cos when they truely start to bum shuffle - they are like super duper quick and there’s no stopping them!!! Ummm… And I have SOOOOOOOOOo many dresses! Looks like I’ll have to buy more trousers?!?!? (We don’t want her scraping her legs/bottom now, do we?!?!)

In addition, apparently, (according to my sis - who has seen this numerous times - but chloe wont show me) - Chloe has been able to sit up from lying down on her back!

Daisy plus Allan equals Chloe!

Been flicking thru some old pics recently and realised that Chloe’s head (Upper section of her face) is a replica of Hupps’ when he was a baby ie. the lack of hair and even the eyebrows are in the same position/shape!!

Chloe is 7 plus months now and still her hair is SOOOOO fine and very limited! Apparently, when Hupps was a baby, he was also in the same situation - for ages!!

But I need not worry cos if she has Hupp’s hair genes - she’ll be in no short supply when she is older! - His hair is wild man!!!

If you put an imaginary wig on Chloe - I think her lower half of her face looks like me! And her upper half of her face looks like Hupps!

So who does Chloe look like?
