Looking for food in Auss

Know what? We are going to Brisbane end of the year to visit my God-ma and as usual, daddy is doing the research on what to do for our week long holiday there. Well, the first thing that he does is to see the dining over there.

There are numerous sites that he chance upon but nothing beats the Restaurant Guide for Australia. To say that it is comprehensive is an understatement!

I mean, they not only break down to the different states, this guide goes right down to the different cities! For example, we are going to Brisbane, and they have information on the restaurants, the food they served and even remarks on the views that you would be getting! Oh, of course the all important prices are also reflected!

While, I do not think that this is done by the aussie government, I think this is the most comprehensive when it comes to dining in Australia! Check the link out if you are going to Australia!

Come to think of it, I hope I do not have those peanut allergy that seems to plague young children nowadays, daddy was reading something like that in this nut free foods site and was really praying that eugenia has nothing like that so that she can enjoy any food!:)

Daddy tells us about home information packs

Housing is so expensive nowadays! This is what I heard my daddy and so many people complaining these days. My daddy says that because it is no really regulated, so people are selling so much higher than the original price.

People are quoting their flats (some less than 800 sq ft) for close to S$500K, primarily because of expectations. Daddy was saying that Singapore should learn what the in UK, where they have the home information packs or HIP.

This is primarily a set of documents that provide the necessary information about property in UK (England and Wales) that are put up in the open market. With this home information packs, sometimes known as seller's you would get the energy performance certificate, sales statements, local authority searches, title documents and some other important documents.

With these set of documents, one would get a clear over view on what they are buying over. Everything is stated in black and white and do not need to contest after the sales. Like in some cases in Singapore, where the buyer complaining that there are leakages in the flats that they took over.

So, hopefully, Singapore would have their own version of home information packs to smoothen the process of home buying.

Oh...it is Singapore cutest baby's mummy birthday!

3rd Feb 2008 (Sunday)

Happy Birthday, Mummy! We went to church and I attended the 1st communion service at Bethel. I like to rub my eyes before I fall asleep. Daddy and Mummy left me in the care of Granny as they went out for a mini birthday celebration at Marina Square. They went to Suntec City and bought lots of toys there for me! Some of the toys have to wait till I am much older before I can play with them… for example, the hello kitty balloon ball.

Daddy also have fun shopping and looking at some coffee pods and possibly as materials to write for his hobby site. Anyway, I think mummy and daddy have great fun!

Long time ago (but some sharing on mummy heng birthday)

2nd Feb 2008 (Saturday)

Uncle Kelvin and Auntie Diana gave Mummy a birthday surprise as they showed up at our doorsteps! Ohhhh… Daddy invited them over to have makan together…They had KFC with porridge. Ummm… yummy! Gu Gu Eunice bought a cake for Mummy! The cake was simply delicious! They sang a birthday song to Mummy… It was a joyous occasion BUT I slept through the whole celebration.

It was late and there wasn't much to eat and drink, in fact, there was some serious consideration that we might have to buy drinks from the downstairs vending machines, the good thing is everyone have a good time and mummy heng is happy!:)

Now the time reads July and we are talking about things in February -goshhy, daddy and mummy really "type" so slow hor...Hehe, daddy call this reminiscing!:)

Eugenia first shopping trip...

29th Jan 2008 (Tuesday)

Mummy and I went shopping with Auntie Christina, Auntie June and Jie Jie Hannah at Vivo City! Auntie Christina brought her pram along for me! Mummy bought a beautiful red floral dress and a pair of matching shoes for me to wear on Chinese New Year from Gap.

Mummy saw some real nice glass tables, but in the end she decided to learn "how to choose one" first before deciding. Check out the link to learn how...

Taking care of baby tip: Make sure any clothing you purchase allows easy access to the diaper, so there is minimum undressing involved. One piece stretchies with snaps down the front and legs are the easiest to put on. Babies hate having their faces covered.

PS: daddy decided to "chap" in and feedback on a cool technology that he read recently! They says it can saves fuel by 50%, wow that is a lot of money saves, this is the HHO technology -check it out yourself!

My daddy sharing some fishing tips

Hey, this is my daddy blogging coz mummy has been pretty occupied with her school and stuff. And my daddy was blogging because of this incredible deal that he chance upon recently. He is no seasoned fisherman, but he likes to fish and has been fishing since 9 years old -that is more that 2 decades folks! He has most of the fishing rods and fishing reels, the only thing is the fishing tackles. Guess what, he found some of the cheapest discount fishing tackle around, click on the link and see if you can anything cheaper that that! My daddy was remarking that in high inflation days that we are facing now, a penny saved is a penny earned!

Baby Eugenia dedication service

25th Jan 2008 (Friday)

The baby dedication service was held in the evening during the Region 1 gathering by Ps Jean at Bethel church. Granny, Uncle Luke, Uncle Wilson, Gu Gu Eunice, Jie Jie Helga were there to witness the dedication as well. As Daddy, Mummy and me stood at the altar, Ps Jean requested the RR leaders to come and pray alongside with us. Uncle Chong, Auntie Theresa, Uncle Daniel, Uncle Chong Poh, Uncle Kwang Liang prayed for us as Ps Jean led us in prayer. Daddy and Mummy signed a covenant as followed-

{ We, Ebenezer and Elaine in presenting Eugenia for dedication not only signify our faith in Christ and the Christian way of life, but also indicate our desire that she should grow to know the Lord and live a Christian life.
We realize that presenting a child in dedication to God is a serious matter involving responsibilities. We recognize that the first responsibility is ours and so we pledge that:
We will live an exemplary life before Eugenia that she may by example know what it is to be a Christian;
We shall make our home a place where Eugenia shall receive Christian instructions;
We shall ensure that Eugenia is further nurtured in Christian values and teaching through the Church Education Programme i.e. Toddlers for Christ, Children Ministry, Youth Ministry of Bethel Assembly of God;
We shall pray for Eugenia salvation when she reaches the age of accountability, and that we shall endeavor to lead her to Christ.}
