Everyone!

Guess what??

We have both decided and made the move.

Yesterday 12March2010 morning, we told our maid that we do not need her service anymore and that she can leave around in the late evening. She was all so calm and expected that because behind our backs, she had been finding a new employer.

We left it in a cordial mode, saying that we have 'financial difficulty' so that she have nothing to bargain about.  And we are very happy that everything went fine.

Wow, this boils down to us planning the household and having the house fully back to our control again... :)


The main reason why we do not want to hire a maid because
1. we had no more control of our house.  --- we feel that the kitchen's stuff are not handled by us anymore. And for the food, we don't even know what is in the cabinet, fridge... just leave it entirely to her.
2. Household chores are meant to be delegated and that will make it our house OUR HOUSE.  This will actually make us have more ownership as well as more organised.

Well, update you guys more about how's our house improvements!!

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
