Halloween Wigs

Was reading Patricia Mok's blog about having fun with wigs. On Sunday, we went to Suntec Toys 'R' Us after Gine's enrichment class. Guess what we did...

First, tried my favourite blue wig on hubby...

Then the green and pink ones on Gine...

How do they look? Definitely fun and entertaining putting wigs on others. Fortunately, Mummy Barney was holding on tighly to the camera!!!

Weekends at home

Since father-in-law was hospitalised in early October, most weekends are now spent at home as hubby needs to be at the hospital most of the time.

Well, even at home, Mummy Barney will try her best to entertain Gine and keep her amused, or rather the other way round....

Check these out...

Genius at work, genius in the making...

Warrior in disguise

Perhaps Mummy Barney got a bit over- imaginative, afterall...

A Child's Hope 孩有明天

Bored at work. Decided to visit artistes' blogs. Came across the MV for the TV drama serial "A Child's Hope" on Dasmond Koh's blog. Wow, time really flies. Almost 5 years since then...

Was involved in reading through the scripts and briefing the script writers on the various child patients' stories. Hmm..sorta missing out the fun I had in my previous job but on the other hand, glad that I came out of it before mum passed away. At least I did manage to spend some time with her before she left, unlike in the past....Memories...

Regine's Friday

Decided to bring Gine to my office today in the afternoon so that I can bring her to the newly opened Jacob Ballas's Children's Garden (JBCG). Luckily brought along some of her favourite books and had some toys that were given by Barlalee to entertain her for the afternoon. Anyway, guess she prefers to walk around my office, smiling to my colleagues. Bet she was knocked out completely at 5pm when I was getting all ready to go the new Children's Garden!!

Guess you will definitely envy me as my office is just up on the slope of the JBCG. In fact, can see the garden clearly from my office. So excited when I knew that its official opening was on 1 October and quickly smsed Greg's Mummy to join me. Unfortunately, she pulled out at the last minute as hubby had to travel to Jakarta over the weekend.

Luckily, Gine woke up at 5:45pm and at 6pm, we were already at the entrance. Well, impressive but a bit disappointed...

The Photosynthesis area and pumps were not working! Imagine, it was just 4 days after the official opening! So we went on to the Suspension Bridge. Too crowded and everyone tries to walk at the same time. Hubby decided not to walk over (cos of his weight), in case the suspension bridge gives way! One maid even tried pushing a pram across the bridge. My gosh!

Then we explored the Tree House. Well, had wanted to slide down with Gine but Hubby tried and commented that the slide was too steep and fast for Gine. Unfortunately, not conducive for Mummy to slide down together with Gine as I couldn't even manage to balance myself while trying to get ready for the slide. In the end, asked Hubby to come up the Tree House again to get Gine so that Mummy Barney can slide down and enjoy herself! Too fast for young kids!

Walked to Potting Garden. Nothing much. Continued to walk till A-Mazing Play (Can see the maze clearly from my office room). Too simple for Mummy and too big a challenge for Gine...

As for the playground, nothing much but sand around. Lots of kids, especially Caucasians. Finally, decided to let Gine go to the Waterplay area. Thought it was the safest place and perhaps, cleaner than the playground. Limited water cans where hubby have to eye for quite some time before managing to get one for Gine.

As I was taking photographs of Gine enjoying the water play, hmm...something is not right!! As I turn around, spotted a piece of POO on the floor, right at the entrance of the waterplay area, dissolved in the water!!! Yucks...and quickly carried Gine to the other side.

Conclusion - Don't go during weekend evenings (cos going to be overcrowded). Look out for rubbish near the waterplay area (found a piece of apple thrown on the floor as well). More suitable for children and toddlers aged 3 and above.

Grading - 3 1/2 out of 5

Cover Girl - Again!!

Mother-in-law decided to take a break and travel to Chiang Mai for a holiday from Wednesday till Sunday. Last minute notice and so I had to urgently apply for leave to take care of Gine. Since nothing major going on in office, decided to bring her for her 18th month jab (since she just turned 18 mths last Sept).

Sensible girl, guess it runs in my family, as Greg's Mummy blogs about it previously...Didn't wail as the needle was poked into her thigh. Or perhaps Mummy Barney hugged her very closely and so she felt protected.

Unfortunately, this time round, Gine was slightly feverish after her jab. Luckily, had already gotten a day of child sick leave. So, was away from office again on Thursday.

When I finally went back to office on Friday afternoon, haa...haaa... got to be Cover Girl again, this time, its for IMH latest issue of newsletter. Check this out...

Guess this is the kind of treatment we get when we go away from office for too long. Still remember how we pasted post-it notes on Barlyson's desk when she was away. Hmm...shouldn't my colleagues be busy, covering for me while I was away??????!!!
