Sweet looking dresses

I was given a $25 Gymbucks that takes that amount off minimum of $50 spending and saw a few dresses that looked sooo adorable!

Took me too long to decide and most of them were snatched up by the time I decided to get her those. So, we were left with only 2 dresses, a skirt and a pair of sandals that was her size (she fits clothings for 18-24mths and the dresses are still too big for her. She's so super petite I should have bought her dresses in 12-18mths instead).

This yellow dress looked cuter in the website than in real but I like how the colours go with each other. hee


And I love AN in this!! This green dress is sooooooooooo sweet!

There's a pink butterfly on her left shoulder. hee.

AN's shoes (and the white sandals that's came with her latest loot). She's outgrown her boots in a matter of 4 months during the cooler weather and soon outgrowing the brown pair of Mary Janes! Fast right?

Independance Rox!

Neigi was right.

It is good that I learn to drive and if possible GET to drive so I do not rely so much on the presence of Mr Liow.

I used to agree with a friend who noted that in some cases when a wife drives, husband and wife may not be together as much as before, and some husbands take it as an excuse not to keep wife company.

"You can get ard on ur own and are going shopping anyway. I go for what?"

For some time I feared that, but independance really feels good. So good that even though Mr Liow had been away for almost 2 weeks, it did not affect me much. In fact I was glad I only had to prepare simple meals for myself and baby instead of spending half a day to prepare food and then cook.

It definitely feels better than pining for his return everyday and getting upset over the thousand and one "no choice" things that happens which are more important than family.

I can grocery shop on my own now, bring AN to classes and for checkups, BM to grooming, wherever I dare to venture.

I probably overrated 'togetherness' in the past.

Would be even better if I am financially independant.

Powderful baby

AN's favourite blusher colour (that's also good for allover application)

She appeared to be smiling at 1:43 & 2:41 coz she was imitating me when I put on blusher. hehe. Apply blusher on apples of cheek.



Snapshots of the vain little thing

Progressive.com

I can't say enough of how impressed I am with Progressive Auto Insurance!

I call at 8.04am to ask if I might be able to get help for the keys I left in the car and was politely assured that a lockout falls under Roadside Assistance which is covered in the policy.

My call was transferred to another department where I got help from another very helpful lady who was sympathetic and prompt in verifying my details.

She said she'd arrange with the lockout department to get someone to me and I would receive an automated call soon.

Less than 5 mins after we ended the call, I got the automated call with information about who's coming and what time.

I then received a call from another lady from a certain company (contractor I guess), who was on her way to give me help, to confirm that she was on her way and would reach in 45 mins.

Just a while ago, I received another automated call to confirm that help is on its way and will be reaching me in the next 15 mins. It also said I will be receiving another call at the end to confirm I got the help I need.

WOW!

Let me update about the full service once the whole episode is over. hehe!

Updated 5.11pm:
Unlocking service is on average. Grumpy looking service staff who's not from progressive anyway. Grumpy looking service staff quite a norm here I noticed, so it no longer bothers me unless they are rude.

It was such a breeze to dig into a car! Now I know how to do it. Probably I should stock up on car breaking-in tools. hehe.

And the alarm did come off after the door was opened without the remote. I was surprised he didn't seem to know how to turn the alarm off without the use of the key and left the alarm to sound till I squirmed into the back seat where the keys were.

So yup, we're mobile again!

AN can continue to look forward to enjoying herself at Gymboree!

LOCKOUT Assistance

Our Auto insurance covers a lockout and someone's coming to help me get my keys out!!!!

YAHOO!!!!!!

Emotions

No wonder my temper flew that easily last week. That was due to impending visit from an uninvited guest.

This week is so different. I have an impossible amount of patience with AN. I had been overtaken by this super mummy instinct that I've never experienced before this.

Watching AN continuously repeating scenes from classes made me feel so sad that if she understands disappointment, she's going to hate my absent-mindedness.

The wonders and horrors hormones do to and in a woman and everyone around her.

Stranded!!!!

Guess what I did???

I locked my car keys in the car....

There is story telling tomorrow, Art on Thursday, Music on Friday and Playgym on Saturday.

Was just telling AN what to expect on our way hm from a friend's plc just nw. I was excited too about having somewhere to go till Mr Liow comes hm on Saturday nite. Now we'll both be stuck at home *tears at hair thinking about the boredom of being stuck at home for the next 4 days!*

Ah girl if u r reading tis, pls dun tell the folks what I did. Gu zhang had been nagging about me remembering my keys and I kept assuring him I won't forget...

Dunno why I'd been feeling distracted whole of today.

I had to keep talking aloud to myself and AN to make sure I don't daydream while driving just now and it took me a while to process my thoughts where to turn (and dangerously drove on the wrong side of the road which thankfully was right outside a residential estate and had no cars coming in.)

Think I need suppplements to boost my short term memory and concentration...

On a side note, AN was very well behaved today at friend's place. Very quiet tho. She's quite sweet in that she would hug my friend and her mum goodbye when we were leaving.

It's been increasingly enjoyable driving her around. She's either good chatting company, or will quietly munch on her biscuits till we reach. Else she just goes to sleep. To think I was contemplating bringing her shopping one of these days....

WAILS....

Does anyone know how to break into a car?
