clothes.

Ordered some clothes from US Baby Gap and Old NAvy from some overseas sprees. And, i finally got the goods todae! Paid onli S$8 for shipping costs. Not too bad. I was expecting to pay more.

It was the first time i ordered clothes online for her and i was quite pleased that the clothes were particularly of very good quality, even the old navy dress. I was tinking that online shopping can be quite deceiving and wat u see is not wat u get.Well, with all the photo editing, quality of clothes look perfect, don't they? However, after tis first buy, I'm quite convinced of the quality of clothes from Baby Gap/Old Navy. It's so so much cheaper to buy direct from US, then to buy from Mothercare/kiddy palace etc....KIDS clothes in S'pore are certainly overpriced!!! Conclusion: When she starts walking, i will stock up on more dresses from tis website. http://www.gap.com/

Alright, i'm done with Kielli's shopping:
1) CLothes
2) Toys
3) Books

ALl stock is in. And no more shopping for the next 6 mths. Stock expected to last for next 6 mths by my forecast.

I feel a sense of accomplishment as i finish my shopping tasks. NOW, i can FINALLY tidy my room since all STOCK is in!!
Got a new shelf from IKEA and i'm all set to pack the stuff. I wonder if i can fix the shelf on my own without TErence. i've never used any hammer/nails stuff and i tot it will be fun to play with it. haha...

The other time, Ter was not free and i fixed Kielli's high baby chair and some funny boxes from Ikea all by myself. It's amazing wat a woman can do when the man is not around. I'm not good with fixing stuff. But, it's so fun lo to play around with the diff parts and see the finished products. OK. First, let me ask TEr to teach me how to use the hammer and nails.

Expo Day!

Went Expo - John Little Sale with Fang.
Expo is a good place to stock up on toys!!

Here's missy Kielli with her new toys! There's too many toys to choose from and i was reminded constantly to get diff variety of toys for good exposure, rather than similar stuff!

Here's wat i ended up ultimately:
1) A Galloping Horse with 4 diff rattle legs and makes silly noises when u press the saddle.

2) Bowling Set n balls.

3) Shape Sorting Simon Snail which little Kielli can tug along as her little pet.

4) ABC Interactive Learning Set.

My MIL and Ter's aunt picked me up at the Expo and they ended up shopping too! Haha. SHopping is contagious. Oh NO!!! But then, doesn't SIngapore economy need people like USS??

There were billions n dozens of beauty brands there. But wat caught my eye was the AHAVA - dead sea laboratories products from ISrael. http://www.ahava.com.sg

My sis-in-law introed me to AHAVA earlier on < she's a AHAVA fan!> n i am currently using its makeup remover. OOOoo i like the smell. I was soo sooo tempted to get the AHAVA Body Mineral Botanic Line-the body wash and body exfoliator. Well, i remembered that i still had lotsa Body shop polish n stopped myself from getting anything unnecessary!! And i'm so proud of myself!! Oh well, i SHALL surely get the following once i need my next body stuff stock up!!

VELVET CREAM WASH (http://www.ahava.com.sg/product.php?productid=16250&cat=264)
Hibicus & Fig

500 ml e 17 fl.oz
Your skin is for life - protect it well. Ahava Mineral Botanic is a body wash free of SLS (harsh detergent), prepared with healthy Dead Sea minerals, Macadamia oil and organic plant extracts. That is why its foam is different and more velvety than regular soaps. Work with a sponge for richer lather and let the delicious blend of Hibiscus & Fig protect your skin with their antibacterial, nourishing and softening properties. Love your skin.

Ultimately. i couln't resist and finally bought sometin reallie nice for miss Tania for her birthdae! Watch out for ur small birthdae gift, gal!!
And guess wat, my MIL ended up with 4 AHAVA hand creams and Ter's aunt ended up with the AHAVA face collection. ANd we r now members of AHAVA,. My SIL in canada now! Oh well, if SHE is with us, i wonder how much more we'll burn our pockets!! Ok! SO the LEONGS r now officially the AHAVA fans!! haha..:)

Hey, here's Kielli with her new toys and Yellow Bumbo we got from the ISetan Sale last wk. http://www.babyearth.com/bumbo-baby-seat.html

We've been spending so much $$$ on Kielli. OH NO!! HELp!!

Enough of book spree for now. Think i will stock up again when little miss chatterbox Kielli reaches one yr!!

I've passed lotsa clothes n baby stuff to all the soon-to-be mothers in church. So there's much more space now in my room!! Think i should have space for books!!

After shifting from a 5-room to a 1-room, our motto ( Ter and I) for the yr is
1) If we don't need it, we don't buy it. ( Frees up space!)
2) If we don't use it in 3 mths, it's time to THROW it. ( Frees up More space!)

That reallie saves us lotsa $$ when we don't buy unnecessary stuff!! TEr and i luv to THROW THINGS away. So, if u gotta lotsa stuff in ur place and need someone to motivate u to throw them, GET US!!! haha.

so sweet.

Ter: darling, do u wanna go botanical gardens?

Me: huh?? wat's there?? < first time in our 9 yrs he initiated an outing. 90% of time, i'm the one who initiated, planned, executed. His favourite phrase: it's not the place, it's the people>

Ter: there's some symphony orchestra playing there in sept.

Me: i tot u prefer to laze around at home on sun n do nothing. < while my favourite sun is to shop all day till the last shops close>

Ter: been working late. Haven't been spending time with u recently. So tot we can go out!!

Me: < smile > OF COURSE! deal! let's go!! < in my mind: ok, i married the right man!!!haha>

SO SWEET RIGHT!! :)

He's reallie a sweet guy! :)


And, hey, found tis link on my fren's blog. SUPER CUTE! check it out!!

stuff this week!

I have been packing n stock-taking Kielli's stuff tis week. To clear away the old n get stock list for new stuff. Ligin's little gal arriving soon..so hey, i managed to pack Kielli's mittens for her. Look professional ??:) To make space for new clothes, i gotta clear up all the old ones she can't fit in. Oh boy, Kielli is growing so fast tat she outgrows her clothes sooo fast. Haha...but tis certainly does not stop me from buying her some new stuff! the thingy about a baby gal is that u have fun dressing her up!! :)And i'm enjoying it!

Ok. so i got my shopping list and off we went to JB. AT JB, we never fail to stopover at City Square coz we got our car polishing package there. So Ter is happie. He got a polished car that looks almost brand new now! And at City Square, there's popular and MPH and i get to stock up on books for Kielli. However, i was preetie disappointed with the book spread in JB Popular. Onli gotta 4 books in the end. SIngapore Popular certainly offers much much more kiddo books.

Yap. so we shopped a little at city square b4 my father-in-law arrived back from his golf game at 2pm. Then proceeded on to 2 other malls since my fil surely knows the way much much better than my hubby. Well, most of the shopping loot belongs to missy Kielli who knows nothing about shoppping . haha..But apparently, i was very pleased buying the stuff for her. There weren't many nice dreesses, so i ended up buying some denim stuff for her. And there's the Baby Gap/ Old Navy apple n pooddle doggie tights i could not resist buying for her. So cute! And the preetie little sphagetti n polo dress for her. SO i got her some toys too!!
Hope she likes her new toys.


70% of the stuff we bought are all for Kielli. i bought the remaining 25% and Ter the last 5% . Got a Mango wallet and new bag from Fabiano Ricco. Seriously, i like this stuff from tis shop Fabiano Ricco. i've never heard of tis brand in my entire life. i tink it's some local malaysian! if u r there, must surely visit tis store!! i can easily get a few pairs of shoes and bags from tis store. their stuff looks classy and sells losta variety of shoes! if i am there again, tis wil surely b the first store i'll visit.

Robinsons Singapore has their regular 20% off sale. So we popped by to get the baby toiletries. trust me. baby toiletries are not cheap! Her 200ml mustela shampoo costs me 15bucks and Sebamed massage oil 17 bucks. Ok. that's like more ex than my Body shop toiletries. Oh well, she's juz a baby. And how long can one be a baby??:)
