Baby Visiting
Close up of Baby Ruth.
Hubby with Baby Ruth.
Me with Baby Ruth.
Haha she's not ours.
Awe... Baby Ruth is so cute. And surprisingly, Hubby is very good at carrying babies. I, on the other hand, sucked at it. Tiffany had been very "generous", letting us "practice" carrying Baby Ruth. We had originally wanted to do a short visiting, in the end, we stayed at Tiffany's for about 3 hours.
Can't wait for her to grow up!

Right, We Speak Singlish
"Singaporeans can't speak English, they sound funny and strange" or "Singapore is not the right place to learn English because they are bad at it" or "They don't speak standard English" etc etc etc.
These were the inputs from some of my foreign colleagues. It is disheartening to hear these comments. But they are still picking up English from me. While I don't disagree with what they were saying, it has taken me years before I can learn to appreciate the "beauty" of speaking Singlish.
It is warm. And it is especially so when speaking it to a fellow Singaporean. It sort of closes up the gap with people. I seemed more approachable, not high and mighty and more familiar. And it is so easy to identify someone as a Singaporean when all he/she has to do is to speak the language, Singlish.
But it is still important to learn to speak the standard form. As for Singlish, no need to learn lah. It comes naturally.

My Christmas Tree and LCD TV
That's Xuan Xuan on the screen.
Looking forward to Boxing Day, cos' that's the only day I get to celebrate X'mas. I will be working on X'mas Eve and X'mas. But then again, if the company decided to shutdown, I'll get to celebrate X'mas. That will be a sad one. 'Cos retrenchment will follow soon.

Looking Forward...
... to my 40-inch LCD TV tomorrow.
Bought it at SITEX last friday, it's a steal at 1499SGD. Free gifts include a 7.5KG washing machine, a home theater system and a digital camera. Heh heh heh.
The fridge and bean bags will also be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait. I'm TV-less, fridge-less and chairless for 4 days now. My living room emits an echo when I talk. Cool.
"The start of my cosy home."
