I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I love watching TV. It's one of the very best perks of being a stay home mom! :) Well, I do have a place where I could watch the latest tv series for free, but I'm not sure how legal that is, so I'll just say no comment for now.
Anyway, my poison is American series, and whenever I'm on a new show, every little spare time I have would be spent in front of the TV. Which would explain the long periods of "black-outs" in my blog. :P
Anyway, just want to share my new obsession, Dr. Michael Holt.
It's a pretty good show, it's a good blend of:
- Grey's Anatomy (without too much of the sex)
- House (except that the male lead is handsome with a chiseled physique)
- Ghost Whisperer (minus Jennifer Love Hewitt)
The problem now is that it's so new that I have to wait for the bloody new episodes to be uploaded! Argh...

Wedding Lunch
Was invited to a wedding lunch of Cobby's ex-colleagues. The banquet was held at the Crowne plaza at the Changi Airport. We've never been there before, and our first impression of the hotel was, BLACK. Literally, the lobby walls, floors and furnitures were all black or dark brown, so it's just very, dark. Urgh.
Anyway, like I said, it was one of Cobby's ex-colleague, so naturally most of the people on the guy side were military men. Our table consist of only 2 ladies, both of us spouse. She looked bored almost throughout the whole meal while I try to listen and engage in the light conversations going on. Interestingly, I was seated in between Cobby and his boss, so I managed to have a little chit chat with him. Honestly, he didn't seemed that bad, but then again, I don't work for him, so it would be unfair to judge. :) Though I find it most interesting to observe this man who drives my Cobby nuts.
It was a simple little banquet, with good food and interesting little stories of the army. I loved the bride's dresses, very unconventional, with some colours rather than the usual all white. Her photo album even have short dresses in them, which didn't look too terrible. But the groom... erm... I always feel that for men, less is more. If you try to be as extravagent as the bride, it would turn out a little "biang". :P
Oh, another thing that really got people talking were their wedding favours. On was quite straightforward, a luggage tag. The other was this.
It really got everybody discussing what on earth it's for. Some say it's like a tracing thing for kid's art and craft, some ask if it's a passport holder?! I opened it, saw the temperature limit warning on the inside, and immediately knew that it's an oven glove. Obviously these men don't cook. -_- But anyway, I thought it was really cute, different and of course, more practical than a stupid key chain. So I took 2.
Unfortunately, Jolie thinks differently. She says that it's a princess book and conveniently claimed that it's hers.

Jolie skipping
Since she was about a year old, Jolie has been wanting to skip. No thanks to her favourite cartoon series, Pocoyo. Here's the culprit. -_-
But how do you explain to a small child that she's too little to skip? So the best we could do was to place the skipping rope on the floor while she jumps over it. :) Lately, seeing that her hand eye coordination was getting better, I tried to skip together with her, but still, no success. Too early?
One evening, when I got out the shower, Cobby and Jolie were all excited as they exclaimed that Jolie could skip! Somehow, Cobby succeeded in skipping together with Jolie, he even claimed that they managed to skip about 3 or 4 times consecutively! I was jealous! So they showed me.
Honestly I was so happy for Jolie. How her face glowed with pride and happiness as she accomplished something she's been wanting to do for so long. Yes, she's far from skipping by herself, but it's an accomplishment no less. Everyday she's growing more and more! My baby!
