4th Anniversary & 1st Mother's Day

We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary in a special way-- first time we had K to join us! Spent the day with K (ok, half the day for me. bleah.). She was so thrilled to see me get back from work early that she squealed in delight =) Awwwww...

K likes to be bounced on my leg/tummy. She made our anniversary all the more special when she tried for the first time to bounce herself! It was rather funny cos she looked like she was having spasms. Heh.

Dad & Mom took us to the Singapore Flyer during sunset. The view was pretty, but I guess we would have relished it slightly more if we didn't associate Raffles Place with work. Saw The Fullerton Hotel, where we got married 4 years ago from the Flyer. We had yummy italian dinner at Zambuca after the ride.

Here are some of the photos of the day:

Roomie & I brought the seccys out for lunch at Oscar's at Conrad Centennial Singapore. We were all given lucky draw coupons to fill in. I hardly ever strike lottery (partially cos I feel immense pain parting with my money knowing that with my arse luck, it'll probably be money down the drain, and partially cos I have arse luck with such things) but lo and behold, I received a call one day from someone at Conrad asking me to clarify and confirm my address. I brushed it off as "probably want to send me some promotional brochure or something". Alas, when the letter came, I was almost about to toss it into the rubbish bin. Thank goodness I decided to open it first! Amazingly, I won the first prize for the lucky draw--a weekend stay at the Conrad Centennial Singapore's Classic Room with buffet breakfast. How did that ever happen, I wonder.

Since it was Mother's Day the weekend after our anniversary (and cos Lil K hasn't started her My Gym classes yet), we decided to utilise the voucher. We checked in around noon (our original plan of checking it at 10am never materialised... as expected). The service at Conrad is impeccable, to say the least. They even set up Lil' K's cot in our room, together with toiletries and baby Conrad bear for Lil' K. We went shopping at Suntec City (have I ever mentioned that Suntec has changed so much since the last time I was there?).

We retired back to the hotel after walking for a couple of hours. We tried to bring Lil' K swimming in her new swimming costume (finally-- something that fits!) at the pool, but the water was too cold for all of us. Lil' K squawked when her feet touched the cold water. We decided to bring her back to the room and create her own swimming pool in the bathtub--with nice warm water of course. We brought K's float along so she was happily swimming in the tub towards Conrad's Mr Duckie floating at the other end of the tub. We had dinner at Billy Bomber's in Marina Square (the last time I ate at Billy Bomber's must have ben eons ago!) and did some shopping after dinner before heading back to the hotel.

Sunday was Mother's Day-- my first Mother's Day! We had breakfast at Oscar's and soon after, dim sum lunch at Golden Peony with the folks. It was pig-out day. Oh, did I mention that the service at Conrad is impeccable? Its either that, or just about all the managers knew I won the prize and came up to congratulate me and say hello. Geez. Not used to the attention. I guess I can't be a movie star, can I?

Can't stop gushing. Baby K is sooo made for the camera. She just doesn't stop smiling does she? :) Back in the Carolinas and Yao is around so it's been fun. The weather right now is sooo perfect.

I always say she's a camera slut :P when she hears us turn on the camera/hp camera, she always turns her head, poses and smiles. Its completely impossible when we try to take side profile photos of her (to decipher who her side profile looks like!). Head turns and smiles for the camera. Argh.
Vain pot in the making?

Once and for all... the answer is...
