a Wonderful Weekend & a Marvelous Monday!

the first week of November was great fun! Rachel and i got to stay over at mum's for 2 days on the weekdays. Sis drove us and gave yummy treats on both days! Baby R loves car rides and new places! Love to see her exploring the places with her eyes looking everywhere! she loves to look at the food we eat! glad she had some time with Popo! Best weekend ever as i got to bake on both days! Macarons on Saturday and making my very own cartoon for the cake that i covered with buttercream! check out the school's website for some photos of the class and our creations taken by the team at Sugar Inc. http://www.sugar-inc-cake.com/
When it was time to say goodbye to Popo, little R had a very sad face. Uncle J who only sees baby R on Saturday, could tell she looked sad! sweet rachel leaned forward as i carried her near Popo... she put her head on Popo's chest... so cutez! glad the 2 weekdays and the weekend gave our little gal some bonding time with grandma!
November 9th Monday. Planned to be out the whole afternoon. so i hurried with uploading the pictures taken from the 2 classes! then i tried to chase the entries! but when i was showering, the rain came and the sky was so grey that i no choice but to cancel all my outing plans. I was back to the desk for another few hours! baby was in good hands thru the day with my PILS. i uploaded as much as i can onto the individual blog entries as i intend to write up from mum's place. will be there on Tuesday thru Thursday! went out for mil's bdae dinner but we ended up at a coffeeshop for zicha as the intended stall had so many tables waiting for their food and there were no spare tables! when we got home, the courier man delivered my baking parcel! got new tools for my kitchen aid. the beater blade will reach the bottom of the KA bowl better than the k beater. love the cookie craft book! so many pretty cookies! can't wait to experiment but really would i have time??? these are my 3rd batch of cookie cutters! i haven got time to upload an entry on all my new bakingware!!! thru the 5mths since i gave birth to baby R, i have been collecting so many new toys for baking and i have yet use many of them!!!
daddy tried to interogate me on the cost but i managed to get away! to me, these baking gadgets are important too! baby r remembered that we were gog to cut cake and she refused to sleep when i tried to prep her for bed! usually we will have bdae dinners on Monday as its my PIL's off day but the cake will be cut on the actual day. We told baby R that we were gog to cut Ah ma's cake when we get home but everyone forgot except baby r! i asked her why is she not sleeping and she frowned! then somehow, i suddenly remember that T.Sam is waiting in the fridge!
**52**



Yup thats the T.Sam my Mil got for my Sil years back! the young grandma, hugged our little gal and told us she is the best present she got this year! Little R kept looking at daddy, Sil and me when we sang the bdae song! then she got to do something special. i gave her the plastic knife to cut the cake and she had this confised look! then she was so sweet after cutting the cake with daddy's help! she gave Ah ma a hug by having her head rest on Ah ma's shoulders! dear took a pic with all 3 Tuxedo Sam! Sil was the smartest! she didnt want to cut T.Sam up so she took the hat part of the chocolate! Mil took the happy yellow feet while i had a pinch of T.Sam's fins...

Baby R slept in my arms right after the cake was cut... she slept as usual after the "party" is over! but once i got her on the bed, she opened her eyes again! then she started to talk to me... she talked non-stop and so loudly that daddy came in to check on us. she chatted with daddy too and she didnt and wouldn't and can't stop talking! i quickly took a video of her rattling off non-stop. when she saw my camera, she can't turn away from it and kept on talking and looking into the camera! which she didnt do that as i prefer to catch her candid... she was so cutez that we end up taking pics with her, to mark her 5 months old! As usual practice on Mondays.... Ah Gong will get to carry her till she falls asleep in his arms. Her new record for lastest sleeping time was set at 11.30pm that nite!
