Non-stop partying the whole of Week 16th!

Monday 22nd dec - after the wedding, build-the-bear xmas/bdae party, surprise party for uncle j, ann & i organise a luncheon for kidos. we went to disney naturally. my 2nd time here and i still find the place small. stick to the pizzas cos i dun find the rest of the food interesting... excited little ones shop alittle at the bookshop while the mums buy grocery. then feel very xianz... very tired of the things i have to face... worried for mum.

Sunday 28th dec - lazy sunday. came up with a list of things we need to get for the baby. then we looked thru the newspaper for sales items. wanted to go town to check things out but we ended up being so lazy, didnt want to be in the crowd... we stayed at home and again i napped for a couple of hrs. think i have used up my energy over dec! then woke up to watch dvd with gx. Mummy 3. then we head home for dinner. mum brew me a whole pot of chicken essence. i am a veyr lucky gal cos mum feeds me the most delicious soup and tonics. also my mil is preparing home cook food every monday with nourishing soup. then we head home to park the car then we walked over to get some grocery for our baby! on the list - milk powder, fruits and a packet of chips! yes potato chips are no good... but sometimes we need to indulge and trust me i dun finish the whole pack! i like to keep some for the next few days to savour. gx got hooked on nectarines. we ate some at mum's on friday and then he was off to find some and he was so ready to set his teeth into one once we got home. slept and have been having weird dreams... hope i dream of something nicer...
