New Househould Investments

I recently invested in a really good, and really expensive juice mixer (bought just last weekend) :p The idea to get the juice mixer is really to get my girl back to her fruits routine as she currently doesnt take any fruits at all. This is really worrying..... The first night I got the juice mixer home, I started making some apple juice for her. She took a sip, commented "so sweet ah!" and ran away, refused to take in anymore sips. Yeah, it was sweet as I was using the africa apples but everyone in the family likes it except her *sigh* problematic ah!



But I must really share with you about this juice mixer (picture above), costs me about SGD$200+. Its fantastic! I love the convenience of throwing in the whole apples (but not the bigger fuji apples), without having to slice and dice much except for the bigger fruits like watermelon, rock melon etc. It is also very easy to handle, not too much hassle, washing the detachable parts is not too difficult! And it really 'squeezes' the fruits real dry till not a single drop of water can be seen! Very good investment yay!

The other item I bought was an iron. Errr...I havent started using it yet so cant really comment much on its benefits but is another expensive home appliance I got, costs me SGD$149...It's the most expensive iron I have used thus far...hope it wont disappoint me :p

Pre-Holiday blues

Yeah, I am having pre-holiday blues already even before the holidays are here....We will be going back to Labis next weekend to celebrate FIL's birthday. Since it coincides with May day, hubby and myself took a day leave to have a longer wknd...But till now, we havnt decided where to spend the long weekend *sigh*

I have searched thru the web for holiday resorts at Genting or A'famosa but they are already fully booked *surprised*....business so good ah...sigh...going to spend 4days 'nua' (aka laze) at Labis if still cannot find anywhere to go soon...

This will probably be SIL's & family last gathering at FIL's birrthday as they will be returning to Perth soon, coming June. So hubby and myself were thinking of having a family holiday somewhere instead of staying at Labis house, 'nua' (aka laze) around.....at least the kids will get to swim or something....Also, take this as a birthday gift to FIL....looks like not much hope already....

Will have to spend some time surfing again....before I wave 'white flag'....

Trenyce's 1st Pet



Have you seen tortise climbing up a tree?

PIL got Trenyce a pair of tortises earlier last mth (10 Mar 07). We named them Tammy (for the female) and Tommy (for the male). This is the first time Trenyce has a pet and also the first time, the house has a pet.....

If you look closely, you will realise one of the tortises is on the tree. Well, we didnt put her on the tree. She climbed the tree on her own! We were really amused by Tammy's silly act and thus prompted me to put this on the blog kekeke.... To think a tortise climbing a tree?!?!

Trenyce in action!

Trenyce is currently at this stage where she enjoys pretence games. One moment she will pretend to be a doctor, then teacher, then singer, then Elephant! etc....

1. Trenyce, the singer!



See how she sings! Really use her full lungs to portray the sound eh! kekeke

2. Trenyce, the future head mistress!



ahhh....she can be very fierce...see how she 'forces' the little puppy toy to respond after her...future head mistress quality? *shakes head* haha...

3. Trenyce, the artist




We bought some painting sets recently. Actually, its my idea...saw the kids from Playhouse Disney programs enjoying their painting session..and Trenyce looks like she very envys..so got the set for her, also take this opportunity to teach her colours hehe :)

She enjoyed painting so much that she is even willing to forgo the almost daily night routine -- strolling every other evening with the grandparents at the void deck, simply to wait for hubby or myself to set up the painting stuff for her.
