Hi guys! Omg, can't believe I'm actually blogging again. Feels kinda surreal to be up this late and typing away instead of being asleep! Best part, I just got home. Which is no biggy for any other girl my age but I usually get home at around five in the evening and sleep at 10pm cause i'll be exhausted from work & running around chasing Kylie.
Sooooo....today, I went out with Joel, Gerard, Hanny & Hansen. Met them for lunch at Peach Garden Restaurant and brought Kylie with me but I left her with my mother-in-law after lunch cause we were gonna head to Orchard & Kylie needed her rest after the mini accident last night. Feel quite bad staying out till this hour and leaving Kylie in my in-laws' care though =/ Wonder if my father-in-law's mad or anything cause I came home to a half-awake mother-in-law walking out of my room & him asking her "she sleep already?" in his deep stern voice. Apparently Kylie got up in the middle of sleep and Shane's mom had to wake up to pacify her. Like it's not bad enough that i felt bad when I left the house with Kylie screaming and crying my name out loud. SIGH. But it's not always i get to stay out and spend the whole day with my friends. It's only because I'm on leave until boxing day, but apart from today, the rest of my leave will be spent prepping for Christmas and celebrating Christmas with family & relatives, & then it's back to work so I won't be able to spend another whole day like this until idk when. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, not at all & i love Kylie very much, just that I hate having to feel so guilty every time I'm out with my friends & Kylie's in the care of my in-laws.
That aside, I had a great time today even though it was simple! Hanny & Hansen are one of the nicest people I've ever met! Felt so paiseh cause they paid for lunch, dinner and movie! Reaaaalllyyyy appreciate it! &&& they all accompanied me to do my Christmas shopping. Had to bother them going up and down and up just to find suitable gifts but they were all so nice and patient :) It's actually the first time I'm going out with Hanny & Hansen but it felt like i've known them for a while already! Really, really enjoyed my day with them! Quite bummed that i forgot to bring my new camera out to test it! Bought the Canon SX40 the other day & i haven't really got round to using it. Maybe during Christmas...
Shane's in KL now, he left early this morning & i didn't see him cause I was at my parents' place last night. Not used to coming home & not having him tell me "hi" with his dorky smile or a "hey honey". I miss you already :( I haven't been away from Shane for more than 2 days before. Even when we were dating, we literally stuck to each other like superglue. If we had only an hour to see each other, we'd still meet up any way. Gotta get used to him being away, when the time comes and he has to serve the country, it's gonna be hard not having my husband around. It's 21/12/2012 today, supposedly, the end of the world. Shane was so cute the other day, he told me "if ah, if. Just saying luh, if the world really ends on Friday, you know I love you right? Cause I'll be in Malaysia you know..." hahaha. Shane's not exactly the best lover in the world but thinking back, he's quite sweet sometimes. Silly too.
Alright, i think this post is getting a little lengthy. I know I promised pictures from the USS trip in the previous Vlog but i forgot to get the cable from my mom again so i'm sorry but it'll have to wait! Long day ahead, better get to sleep now, I'll need all the energy I can get to watch the bouncy, hyper little rascal tomorrow! Goodnight starshines!

Going for an interview with UOB bank later. Praying really hard that I get the job! Really need/want it. I've decided to give up doing design & hope that it's for the better. Wish me luck people! I'll need it! Until next time, xoxo.
Okay, this post is wayyyy over due but anyway, here it is! Spent my first Mother's Day with Kylie & Shane at Underwater World Sentosa. Was a real joy seeing Kylie all happy, scared, intrigued and amused all at the same time! Her reactions and expressions were priceless! I know it's weird to say this since it's only my first Mother's day but it feels like the best Mother's Day ever!
Lucky us got seats right in front of the stage for the dolphin show!
Bought a Dolphin hat at the souvenir shop for Kylie!
Had quite a few strangers asking to carry/take picture with/of Kylie while we were there! Idk why she's always attracting attention everywhere she goes! haha!
Got a new hair do on labour day/Shane's birthday. The night before, John, Pat & I successfully manage to give Shane a mini surprise. He almost jumped out of his pants when he got home, was hilarious. I must say though, it was all John and Pat's idea. I was on the way home from work and they called to ask if i needed them to help give Shane a surprise. Was impromptu but it was a success! Mark and his girlfriend joined us after for a lil' catch up over some drinks and snacks. T'was simple but just the way Shane liked it, with only the people who truly matters <3 John & Pat are really rockstars, they've been there for us in a lot of ways. & needless to say, they love kylie LOADS. When ky was first born, they came to visit her every week! We're so blessed to have friends like them :)
Good morning!
On the train to work now. A lil' late but i don't think it's a big issue considering that i worked till 12:30am & only reach home at 1am last night. The only reason why i don't mind working that late's cause i love doing what i do, i love designing. But it sucks that i don't get to spend much time with Kylie. Look at this QT pie, totally made my day with her smiles in the morning :)

Just downloaded the blogger app so i can post an entry on the go! I'm in the office now, heading out for lunch in a bit! So watch this space, i'll be posting much more frequent now!
I've been really lazy to do anything to this space. I know i said i'd post pictures since christmas and all but i've been really lazy to go through all the pictures, gather them from this person and that so i guess i'm not going to anymore. Anyway, just a little update, FYP's over & it feels kinda surreal, like just a week ago, we were all rushing to meet the deadline & now we're all so carefree and having fun. I still have my attachment to complete before i can be considered a real graduate. I'll probably start next week, the company's gonna get back to PJ within these few days. I'm pretty psyched on starting work asap cause at least i'd have a bit of money in my bank account even though the pay or rather, allowance is really mediocre. So...I wanted to pursue a degree in design but I can't cause I won't get my results & all in time for the start of any University term. Which might be a good thing actually, cause I'd go out to work first, earn some cash before really deciding if design is really what i want to do.
I'm meeting Samantha, from church in a bit. She wants to see Kylie. & I've planned a meeting with Mabel & probably a few others from my secondary school to, yes, because they want to see Kylie. It's amazing isn't it? How one little girl can bring people together, be it friends or family. I've tweeted this before & i feel strongly about it, Kylie is more than a blessing.
Shane & I are trying to get a 2-room rental flat from HDB so we can move out, have a little privacy of our own & be the parents we want to be without having the adults tell us what we should do and all. I mean, it's all good, staying here, but i think help us mature and think better? Like we'd really experience adult life & not depend on our parents and stuff with the chores and always having someone around. I feel we can and we need to be independent, we may be young but age doesn't define maturity right? So yeah, but we called up HDB & we can't rent a flat cause we're under 21 so we seeked help from the MP & HDB's looking into our case. I do hope they'd get back to us soon.
I'll try to update this blog regularly, with ample pictures and all. So...yupp, y'all can check back once in a while.

I've been wanting to post an entry about 2011, i know it's a little late but it's better late than never right? So...2011 has been an EXTREMELY eventful year for me.
The beginning of 2011, Shane & I were off to a brand new start because he broke my heart real bad in 2010 but i let go, let live and we patched it up and things began to look good.
& just in case you're wondering, no, i didn't find out about my pregnancy in 2011, i found out about it at the end of 2010. But 2011 saw us sweating our brains out to tell our parents about it.
2011 also brought more time together as a family, going nice places, spending weekends together, shopping as a family, going back to church as a family, etc. I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am that my family's closer than ever before.
April 2011, I got married to Shane Simon Joseph at a tender age of nineteen and up till this moment, I have absolutely no regrets (:
I also got back my previously rented out room in 2011, revamped it, and in less than a month, Shane moved in with me. But I didn't get to enjoy my room for long, after I gave birth, I had to move out and live with my in-laws.
On the 5th of August 2011, at 08:27pm, the wait for the arrival of my babygirl Kylie Danielle Joseph was finally over & we embraced her with open arms.
2011 has been the best year of my life. It's been a drastic change in many ways, a turning point, a time of growing up and adapting. I received so much love, care and concern like never before from friends, family and even acquaintances and my lecturers. In 2011, I also realised who are the friends I could really count on and who I should let go. I've seen the unconditional love my parents have for me, my relationship with my mom has drastically improved and I now see her in a different light. 2011, Kylie taught me a whole new form of love I never knew existed. 2011 has made me see how blessed I truly am, it's been an emotional roller coaster ride of sorts. Ultimately, I am eternally glad for what the past year has brought and taught me & I thank God for everything He's done for me.
As 2012 brings new lessons and experiences, for as long as I live, I'll never forget the life changing year, 2011.

I know I'm 4 days slow but HAPPY NEW YEAR people!!! K, y'all are in luck cause my mouse died on me and I can't work on my FYP without a mouse so i'm updating this space. Else idk when I'll ever post about my Christmas. I'll post day by day, starting from Christmas eve cause there's tons of pictures. There's actually more to upload on this entry but the pics are with my father-in-law. So I'll post 'em when I get 'em. Really bummed about my mouse! I think this is the 8th time in 2 and a half years i've replaced my mouse! Gotta burn my pocket and invest in a god mouse once and for all. pffttt.

Festive season's decoration! Even Kylie's mobile's decorated with christmas ornaments.

Silver bells~
In preparation for the family Christmas eve dinner.
