Gathering At GM’s Place

Our generous GM Yasuno kindly invited all staff to his house for a casual gathering. As there is too many staff in our office, they have decided to plan it by departments.


Today, it is our party! The party is joint by ENE, HR, MAC & IFLD Departments. There was a small organising committee set up just for this party and after discussion, we decided to have peranakan food for our party and we even prepared some childhood games to entertain the staff in case they gets bored.

When everyone arrived at GM’s place, we began the party with a short speech by GM and after a toast, dinner began… everyone seemed to enjoy the spread that we ordered and we even had good comments about the food.

It was somewhat a casual gathering where everyone is free to move around the house and it was really great to see people enjoying the food and conservations with one another. Bosses were also more relaxed and joined in to chat.

After dinner, some of us started the ball rolling by playing some of the games that we brought to the house, like chaptek, marbles and we even started to play twister. Everyone had their choices to play whatever games suits them and some started to form groups to play twister while others preferred to drink their night away.

I would say this is one great & fun gathering but we have to thank our GM for being spotting to play games with us and having us at his place.

Visit Ms Shana Wong

We are happy to receive the news that we have another new addition to the Wong Family yesterday. My cousin Ka Yun, Florence and little Zoe welcomes baby Shana at Mount Alvernia Hospital.


We were excited about the news and went to visit them this afternoon and little Shana was really cute. Zoe, now a big sister to little Shana showed us her little sister who was sleeping soundly and told us not to be loud! Faith was curious and told me that baby Shana is very cute but did not allow me to carry her.

Congratulations cousin Ka Yun & Florence for the arrival of the beautiful Shana. We are sure God will continue to bless & shower her with lots of love.

Belated Dinner Gathering

We try to meet for dinner during birthdays or perhaps during Christmas yearly. It’s always great to meet with friends whom you are close with but yet rarely meet.


Today, we are happy that we were able to meet for Linda’s birthday and we chose to dine at Oscars’. It’s been a while since we dined at Oscars together as I used to organize site inspection for the ladies in the past…

Though Linda’s birthday was couple of weeks ago, I brought along the cupcakes I made for Faith for her too, at least she got to have a cake made by her God-ma…

Dinner was great as usual where we always had interesting and funny stuff to talk about. She told us about her travel mate and it was hilarious! There were too much to talk about but too little time. We promised that we will meet again soon…
Happy belated birthday Linda Inez…

Faith Turns THREE

Our little Miracle will turn THREE today and since it’s a school day, we had to send her to school so that she can celebrate with her friends too.


After sending her to school, it was the beginning of a busy day for me as I have planned to bake muffins for her classmates & cupcakes for Faith. I only had the morning to finish up everything and I am thankful that I was had baked her birthday cake last evening.

I was happy that I managed to get all the stuff done after luncheon. Though my kitchen was in a mess but I guess all are worth it as I was doing it for my little one. After resting for a short while, I began to prepare all her party stuff and cakes before we head to her school.

When we arrived to her school during their tea time, teacher told us that all the kiddos just woken up. Guess we came at the right time. With the help of the teacher, we got everything ready within minutes and got the party started. Her classmates were excited to see the cake and the goody bags.

When we opened up the cake on the table for Faith, her classmates got even more excited and came over to check the cake out. We heard a few of them saying… ‘Wow, it’s a colourful cake!’

The teacher gathered the kiddos and started to sing Faith a birthday song. She was happy no reaction as I believed she just woke up a while ago and was not that ready yet… after the cake cutting ceremony, we distribute the colourful cakes to her friends. I had request from her classmates for a second helping on the cake… yippy… it worked, the kids liked it.

After the party at school, we took Faith for a quick shower and left for dinner… We brought her to SingKids at Changi Airport T3 as her birthday treat but she seemed to be bored with those balloons as I believed she preferred Hokey Pokey.

When we got home, the first thing Faith wanted was to open her presents. After cleaning her up, she was all ready to open those gifts lying in our study room. She helped me to bring them out to the living room and ordred me to have her picture taken with the presents...

Happy Birthday Sweetheart Faith! May the good Lord shower you with his love & blessings always and always remember that we all LOVE you very much. Thank you friends & family for your lovely gifts.

Happy Sunday

Was woken up by Faith early this morning and her first words to me were ‘good morning mama, you wake up already?’ Though it was such a pain to get up on a Sunday morning but having those greetings were simply great!

I guess she was excited about heading to Hokey Pokey which we told her about last night. After breakfast, we headed off to Hokey Pokey as promised and we were the first few customers when they opened. She was overjoyed and started to play with the slides, the kitchens etc…

She was really enjoying herself playing with those slides & being a chef or perhaps shopping in the supermarket. There was a short session when they released bubbles and all the kiddos including Faith were happy to join catching those bubbles…

After spending a good 2 hours there, we were the ones who felt tired compared to the energized Faith! After lunch, we brought the birthday girl to Toys R Us to shop for her birthday gift and she went crazy upon seeing those toys. As she walked, she pointed to the toys and said, mama, I want this and that… then we told her that she should check out the rest before deciding and told her that she is only allowed to get 1 gift each from both of us.

After walking one full round, she decided to get herself a doctor set (courtesy from dad) and a toaster set from me. She was happy and she told us that she want to be home early so that she can start playing with them. However, we told her that she has to wait till tomorrow to open her pressies. Though feeling disappointed but she knew she has to wait…

A Relaxing Saturday

After a busy birthday celebration yesterday for our little miracle, we planned to have a relaxing day by waking up late than usual…


We lazed in our room after a light breakfast and got ready for the afternoon tea as our lunch at the lobby lounge. It wasn’t crowded on a Saturday afternoon and somehow pretty empty in my opinion. The buffet spread was simple and not as much as those you see at Marriott or Mechant Court.

After the afternoon tea, we went back to our room to get ready for the pool where Faith was excited about. The pool wasn’t crowded in the afternoon as I guess most of the guest would prefer an evening swim instead. The pool water was icy cold and I preferred to be on the beach chair for to sunbathe while they have their bonding session… :)

Faith’s 3rd Birthday Celebration

Time really flies… our little miracle will be turning three in a few days’ time. For the past two years, we invited our friends & family to join us in the celebration but this year, we wanted to keep it as a family affair.
We booked a small area at Oscar’s, Conrad Centennial Singapore to host lunch for our family. The restaurant staff was really warm and friendly as our guest were very treated. It was a buffet lunch and everyone came hungry… hahhaahhaha…. We did not really decorate the area but bought a few balloons for the kiddos.

The elderly seemed to enjoy the buffet spread pretty much as we saw them heading out for a few rounds. As for us, we were busy looking after Faith and trying to get the rest of the kiddos not to run around. Finally, we managed to give them some tasks… drawing and coloring really came in handy.

The restaurant staff also helped to organized as we gathered everyone at the center table for cake cutting ceremony. The staff got the ball rolling and everyone started to sing birthday song to our little Faith. She was somehow shock but happy as she knew it was her birthday.

After cutting the cake, Faith couldn’t wait to get her hands on the Barney figurine and the Elmo decors. The staff assisted us to slice the cakes and served them to our guest which was really highly appreciated. They came back with the rest of the cake on a plate with decors which made it looked like another cake…

Everyone enjoyed the food and went back happy. Since it was a long weekend, we booked a room in the hotel so that we could spend more time with our little one.
Thank you family and friends for your wonderful birthday gift to our little Faith. God bless you.
