Haven't updated for a while.. My cardreader went bonkers [note : this is my 2nd cardreader which is only abt 5 mths old at most. My previous cardreader died after 3 mths of usage] so I couldn't download my photos and w/out pictures, I became so uninspired to blog. To make it worse, I somehow managed to burn the cordwire of my camera's battery charger yesterday. It actually caught fire!!! Don't ask how it happened. I'm too embarrassed to write about it.
Woke up this morning totally set on getting a new digital camera [& cardreader]. I've been procrastinating for a while. Thought I could find some good deals at the PC Show last week but nah..pian nang one!! The cameras sold there were even more expensive than those listed in this online shop. I was eyeing the Canon Ixus 500 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 initially but hubby said that the reviews for the former wasn't that great and I'm kinda reluctant to start using a memory stick especially since I have tons of CF cards around. So finally bought my original choice - a Canon Powershot A80. What deterred me initially was it's bulkiness. It's about the same size and heavier than my Nikon. But hubby was totally sold on it coz of all the positive reviews he read on the net and it was much cheaper than my previous 2 choices so what the heck :P..I got it for slightly less than $600 (including GST) at Alan Photoshop with some freebies thrown in. Thought it was quite a good price since it was $699 (w/out GST) at the PC show and $670 (w/out GST) at the online shop. Okay, now I gotta start reading the manual and learn how to use my new camera :)
Loads of activities last week. We spent Vesak Day at the zoo. Not very bright of us since almost half of Singapore (esp families) was there too. Well, at least Aidan had fun..especially at the wet playground. Next time, we'll just bring him straight there and let him play to his heart's content and head home. We'll just forego the animals because he always ended up falling asleep when it's time to view them.




a gnu, a lion, a zebra and my li' sleeping piggy :P..
Here's a video of the li' bugger at the wet playground
He was the smallest one at the playground when we were there and that active li' bugger
was moving about like he owned the place. He ended up sitting and playing with 3 li' girls..
Hmmm...he definitely takes after his daddy :P

=====================
Oh..and I seem to have lost a li' weight :)
Actually, compared to a month ago, my weighing scale told me that I've lost close to abt 3+kg. I was about 57+/58 kg (depending which part of the day I'm weigh myself) in early May and now, I'm about 53-54kg. The weight loss isn't that apparent 'visually' but I can feel that my clothes are getting looser and my waist and tummy seems to be a tad smaller too.
So, I'm determined to try to reach my target of 50kg hopefully in about 2 month's time. And if I'm disciplined enough, to get back to my pre-preggy weight of 47/48kg :P..I want to be SLIM!
The only problem then would be..what do I do with all those nice XL/L size clothes I bought from Hong Kong?!!! (better not think too far ahead hehe)

And Aidan looks really cute with his sunnies!
Trying to exercise more too.
Hey..u exercise alot leh. So yours probably are more muscles than flab right?
You look very healthy now.
and isnt 48 too skinnny ???
I was 48kg before my pregnancy> I don't think I was that skinny then actually..Actually, I thought I looked healthier and my tummy was really taut. So easy to wear clothes. In my mid 20s, I was abt 45kg so I was probably on the skinny side.
Heh..I don't mind having a waist like yours man.
we try to meet up this week can? Or do u prefer i mail it to u?
just the other day richard and i were wondering what happened to you since you weren't posting. now we know!
Anyway...better not 'cry' first. Haven't lost the weight yet hehe..
Hehe..miss me ah? Aiyah..i tell u..I've destroyed 2 cardreaders in just 7 months. Solid or not?
Think I'm really chor lor man!
To hell with the clothes if you can lose weight.. more reason to buy more!!!!
Hmm...the weight loss isn't really that visible I think. My mil and
ps: congrats on the weight loss! Woo!
Heh..when both Mong & you are online, we chat about shopping places in HK okay? When are u leaving ah? If possible, can u try to meet up with Mong? I got some photos to pass her.
Jia you on losing weight. Just to spur you on, I was 49kg last Friday. You can do it too!
Fwah 49kg now! Okay..now got u and Sandra as inspiration!
Ha! that's hilarious how Aidan just went ahead and scooted himself with the 3 girls and started playing with them! he was the smallest but definitely covered the most space in the fastest time.
Yes you do seem to have lost weight. You look fabulous!! and I know you will achieve your goal!!
Thanks..i really hope i do manage to achieve it (and not gain it back!)
Hmm..i dun wanna 'recommend' my method. Im taking appetite suppressant (i restarted last Wed) altho my appetite doesnt seem to be that small. I have to force myself to not eat as much as what i usually do but at least i dont feel myself feeling that hungry. I don't take the pills on weekends so that i can indulge a little. Am tryin to do more exercise too.
Sell off your bigger clothes to get enough money for another trip to HK !!
eh, u look really good leh, like that can liao la.
eh..no lah. Pix can be quite deceiving! ANd u never see my fat arms ah!!
