Mariah Carey on X - Factor HD!
Mariah Carey you rock and you are the greatest female vocalist of all time (other than Celine Dion of course)
Many things ado
There are many things happening for me this few weeks, Elayna's having her medical checkup, 9months check up and also to check on optional jabs for her to make sure is properly vaccinated.
Starting to plan for her 1st birthday bash, hmmm...thinking of a Chalet I mean its not like she will remember it so maybe when she is 5 then we sit down and think more about it and hopefully by then she knows what she wants and we can plan more stuff..wahahaha...
Elmo has arrived in Singapore for her, she now has Elmo Live and TMX Elmo to play with. But its more like Elmo for mommy to figure out and play with her. The TMX edition feature special effects where once you find out the trigger sequences will come out with numerous reactions. I have yet to explore now waiting for her to wake up and explore it together with her.
Lately I have been bringing her out and we go very often to Vivo and just the other day we went to the pet safari at vivo and she loved the place! She was bouncing up and down on me when I showed her the dogs behind the glass windows and she absolutely jumped! I know she loves dogs and since her grandma and grand dad(on my husband's side) has dogs whenever she goes there she is so happy to see them.
And I miss her alot lately whenever I am at work...I think I need some time off soon...

toast box vs ya kun
I am not a fan of toast box. Never was and never will. Ya Kun is another thing altogether...I miss Ya Kun Kaya toast.
Had Toast Box the other day, man there was no other word or words to describe other than YUCK!
Had a yuan yang that tasted plain like water no taste of coffee or tea. Kaya had no taste, was suppose to have peanut and butter kaya toast but it was just peanut butter..goodness!
It was terrible. And the price, same as Ya Kun. But the portions at TB are so so so so small...tell me about breakfast non value. They should evaluate their prices and portions. Non - value for money and low on taste value. A not ever to go in my book.
So lay off the Toast Box and may Ya Kun live forever!
I miss Ya Kun Kaya Toast...
Notice how short this post is simply there is nothing good to write about so I stick to not writing too much bad about it...

Chicago - All that JAZZ!
I cannot imagine it! Chicago in Singapore! OMG! OMG! OMG! Its coming in April to Esplanade theatres! How I wish i could go watch! I wonder how much are the tickets! Its CHICAGO!!!!
Well I have always been a musical buff, seen Phantom of the Opera, Les Miz, Miss Saigon, Cats well Phantom twice. Well what can I say. I will have to thank my aunt for it. I was opened up to such opportunites by her. And in any case I think that Les Miz was the best musical ever! I think I was 10 when I saw it. But seriously, musicals with the song and dance and acts they are just amazing. The music, tempo, it helps to bring ones' emotion and attention all to the show. I cried at Miss Saigon alright. Well, this is CHICAGO! The ultimate entertainment show with song, dance, crime, mischief, WOW!!! If you think Catherine Zeta Jones version was exciting, I think the live musical will knock you off your feet!
And of cos, in Singapore there isn't much of a theatre culture (people dress up for the theatres), I mean we are no broadway but hey have some common sense its the Esplanade theatres mind you. I have seen people going in to theatres in jeans! Come on, jeans! Put on some decent clothes for goodness sakes! If you can pay a for the theatre tickets in a box in the front row, I think you can pay for some decent pants and a shirt! Goodness!
Anyway, culture plays a really big part. Its like, wearing a dinner jacket to the fast food restaurat or wearing a pair of bermudas to a posh restaurant. These days sometimes I find that I take appropriate dressing for granted as well on myself. I refuse to buy new clothes as I think I will eventually fit into most of my old clothes, well look who am i kidding this will take quite a while. So yes, I invested in a few basic pieces with H help when we went to Uniquo(I think I have the wrong spelling). I can only say that H is the sweetest man ever!
Anyway, before I end DAMN! H's favourite X Factor, Jamie 'Afro' Archer is out of the competition and the twins are in. Lloyd Daniels is at risk and Stacey is safe! Woohoo! Wonder will the twins be out next week. Waiting to watch with H on Youtube. X Factor 2009 - Expect the unexpected!

The thing about..
Last week had been a good week. I watched 2 movies! Julie v.s Julia as in Julia Child and This is IT the final pictorial on Michael Jackson. He was a talented man and it is sad that he was gone too soon. I was a fan and will always remain a fan.
Julia Child, a new name to me and the movie inspired me on cooking..and this movie was a special treat from H who was really really wonderful to surprised me with a movie although he knew it was busy week for me and he was headed for a busy time at work still took time out to pamper me. I love you dear!
I wonder if I should buy the book on Julia Child. I am so inspired now....But then again I would always love to get the book to read about her life and her thoughts..so interesting.
By the way, stupid X-Factor this week sees Lucie Jones eliminated..How can!!! ARGH!! Its a talent show! Not an entertainment programe! They are trying to find ppl to represent the UK not to be popular Kids entertainment acts!
But I'm sure nickelodean might pick the twins up as an horror act.hahahahaha

X-Factor UK
It has become a weekly ritual for me and H to watch X-Factor off Youtube in replacement of usual telly since it broke down a few months back.
Not that we watched television anyway cos by the time we get home every night its really late. And nothing is good on telly these days anyway. So we ended up watching DVDs or youtube for programmes.
Not that we shop for DVDs, but I have this video rental service called Hollywoodclicks.com which I would go online to order DVDs that we would watch and it will send to my address and all I have to do is to send it back after watching. So cool right. I know. That is why I have the service and I use it now for DVDs that I would like Elayna to watch and for H and I to watch when we get home.
Anyway, the link is to one of my favourite performers from X-Factor, H's favourite is this guy called Jamie Archer who I now think after Rock week is absolutely amazing. I totally agree with Simon on Jeward they stink and I can't understand how they will be able to survive on radio and music performances. Louie has such a lousy team and his 2 best teams have been voted out because of them!
The entire voting has been so skewed towards those who are least popular but they would happen to be those who can sing! ARGH!so stinks. Watch and you will know. argh!

Car Seat and other matters
Talking about car seat. This is Elayna in her car seat. After much research, H and I decided on a Maxi-Cosi, not a Britax, Graco, Safety First. We went to Baby Avenue at Balestier to purchase. And guess what we found out after purchase, baby Hyperstore is the distributor for Maxi Cosi. So there. Now you know. Anyway, fyi this car seat the Priori Sp costs $268 so its a pretty good bargain and this color is also available in the 2009 color scheme.
So its a good buy. Period.
Research done:
I went online to Babies r Us, elite car seats, amazon to read up on reviews and feedback on the car seats. I even went on this particular site which tells me what car seats fit for which car (but take note, make sure you know the US name for your car model.) http://www.carseatdata.org/.
Also another thing to note. We got a playpen for $98 at Baby avenue. Yes, $98 not some brand you never heard of. Gelite. Only Catch, its blue. Then again, good buy at $98
Will post up a picture soon of the playpen. But for Elayna its okay cos she's kinda petite so it would fit her for quite some time.
Anyway, I have a Manual Medela Harmony pump for sale which I used for barely 30mins cos I was no good with a manual pump. I still prefer my medela electrical pump. So if anyone would like to get a back up, please let me know I will sell it second hand.
So thats it for my thoughts today...usually when I don't work my thoughts turn to Elayna...=D
