A lot of people in my office has gone on leave during the last 2 weeks of the year but I’m not one of them as I don’t have any plans. So I’ve decided to carry forward my entitlement to next year which means I’ll have a total of 23.5 days then, YAY!

Actually I don’t mind to come to work during these 2 weeks, simply because:
1. The traffic to & fro office is so smooth.
2. The eateries are not so packed during lunch hour.
3. Office is so peaceful & quite since half of the people are gone.
4. Last but not least, bosses are not around, hehehe.

It was my company’s 10th year anniversary dinner on last Friday, 14th Dec 07. The theme of this year is “Glamorous” and everyone is supposed to dressed to kill for the night. In view of that, boss actually allows us to leave the office as early as 3.30pm on Friday so that we’ll have ample time to dress up.

I went to Jantzen for hairdo and then Bobbi Brown for make over, and reached the venue, Saffron @ One Bangsar around 7.30pm with my other colleagues.

Me in purple long dress, posing at the red carpet entrance.

Me with my other gorgeous colleagues.I got a Robomop from the lucky draw, which I think could be more useful to my maid and not me, since I’m not the one doing house work, haha LOL.

This is a backdated post.

Hubby & I brought Kaith to the Pavilion shopping mall on the 9th Dec, wanted her to see the christmas decor and take some nice shots of her in her “christmas outfit”.

I noticed that Kaith just can’t get her fingers off her mouth…too yummy??

It was Dillon’s 2nd birthday on the 6th Dec and I have compiled pictures of him from the first moment he was born to date in a slide show. I’d like to dedicate this to my dearest son.

It’s Dillon’s 2nd birthday today.

In compensation of not having a birthday bash for him, mummy took a day off (too bad daddy has to work) to accompany the birthday boy.

We woke up around 8am and after we drop off daddy at his office at 9.30am, I decided to bring Dillon to One Utama since heard that the christmas decor there is very nice. And true enough, the decor in both new wing and old wing are beautiful and the theme are very attractive to kids.


Dillon was happily running around and I was so tired running after him and I end up have to borrow a stroller from the customer service counter so that I could do some shopping peacefully. I bought some new year clothing for Dillon & Kaith. I have also bought a birthday cake for Dillon. After late lunch, we left the mall at about 3pm.

At night when daddy came home from work, we sang the birthday song and cut the cake together. Before we could finish singing the song, we already have to light up the candles a few times because Dillon was so excited and he just couldn’t wait to blow off the candles again & again. LOL


Wondering why Kaith isn’t in the pictures? Because she has fell asleep during cake cutting.

Although it’s weekday but due to school holiday, it is still quite crowded. I have heard that the Christmas decor there is very nice this year and true enough, it is attractive, esp. to kids, Dillon was so happy seeing the big toy soldier & the disney castle.
