Each year, when choosing of birthday cake is concern, Shermayne will always love to choose those kind of cake printed with her favourite characters like Barbie, Disney princess, etc. So this year I decided to do a painting for her 5th Birthday and to be printed on her birthday cake. When I showed her the artwork and tell her about my idea of printing it on her cake, she was so excited.

But when I collected the cake, it was a total disappointment. The print out on the cake was so faded compare to my original artwork. What’s done cannot be undone, we just have to accept it. However, it does make me consider whether to do it again for Xavier’s birthday..??

My original artwork:

The cake version:

I also did one without the text with enhanced cloud on the background….

Officially (MR) – MINDEF Reserve.

Out pro from my last ICT today. With this, I have finally completed my NS training cycle (12 years since my ORD) and will be phased to MINDEF Reserve (MR) with the effect from 30 April 2010. I have been waiting for this day for years, and when I finally received my MR cert and watch, the feeling was so surreal. It also makes me feel how fast time really flies.

The only thing that I’d miss about the ICT are a group of buddies who have been together since our active days. They are a group of fun and wonderful people. So let’s hope we have more Army gathering from now on.:)

Shermayne learned some CNY songs from her childcare. Not the usual CNY songs though (except for the last song), they are actually some simple nursery rhythm where they changed the lyrics. I find it quite cute and decided to record it down.

The first song is entitled: Red Packets

Lyrics:
Mummy give me 1 red packet
Daddy give me 1 red packet
Teacher give me 1 red packet
I have 3 packets
爷爷给我一个红包
奶奶给我一个红包
老师给我一个红包
我有三个红包。
Vocal: Shermayne
Backing vocal: Xavier

Second songs entitled: Little oranges

Lyrics:
little oranges round and sweet
one for you and one for me.
(repeat)
Vocal: Shermayne
Backing vocal: Xavier

…and last song: 恭喜 恭喜

Lyrics:
咚咚咚锵 咚咚咚锵
咚咚咚锵咚锵咚锵
Everybody happy
Father Mother Children
Grandpa and Grandmother
恭喜 恭喜 恭喜你呀
恭喜 恭喜 恭喜你
咚咚咚锵 咚咚咚锵
咚咚咚锵咚锵咚锵
每条大街小巷
每个人的咀里
见面第一句话
就是恭喜 恭喜
Vocal: Shermayne
Backing vocal: Xavier, Grandpa and Mummy

First post and first buy in twenty ten.

This is indeed a great start in 2010. I have been eyeing on the iPhone ever since Singtel launched it back in 2008. Finally when M1 launched their iPhone, I’m eager to get one. My wife and I went down to M1 shop yesterday to check on the plans and re-contract for iPhone. However, the staff told us that my wife’s contract ended already, but my current contract will only due in December 2010 and there will be a penalty of $100 if I were to re-contract now. I was so disappointed upon hearing this… then he continued…. “but this penalty of $100 will be waived if you purchase the iPhone…”. Yeah!!! That is what we wanted to buy:)

The queue was long and we waited for about an hour before we were being served by the friendly staff of M1. Then, we spent about another 1 and a half hour understanding the iPhone plan and doing all the necessary documents. While doing the documents, we took out our hand phones and asked:” do you think we can trade-in our current phones?”…. He took a look at our phones and to our surprise, my very ragged and dirty phone still worth $90 while my wife’s well taken care and (IMO) better phone was rejected. I remember getting my phone at $0 when I signed my previous contract and now they are buying back at $90??!!! What a Great Deal!! Haha…:)

Now we finally have our iPhone. White for my wife and black for myself.:)

Sexy back of the iPhone.

…and oh… this will be our pre-valentine’s day gift exchange.:) Cool!

Shermayne starts learning simple poem in class. This is the first poem she learns and recite. Titled “Exercise”. Maybe I should recite and do the action with her more often, this way I might be able to slim down.. hehe:)
