Updates!! Updates!!

I know…I know.. It’s been awhile. I’m so sorry. I know some of you have been checking in often hoping I’ve posted something coz I’ve been getting calls to check if I’m ok. Thank you anyway,I didn’t realize that I had fans!! Hehehehe!!! *shiok sendiri* It’s just that we at the Tan household have been really busy and going places!! We (Greg, Caitlyn and moi) just came back from our holiday in Macao. Yes, you read it right, Just the three of us, we left Aiden at my mom’s because we didn’t want him to miss school. Actually I feel a bit guilty because we didn’t tell him that we were going away. So he doesn’t know, he thinks that he is just spending time at his grandparents’. Honestly I think he prefers it there anyway…his paradise where nobody says ‘NO’ to him. Mommy,if you are reading this, you know it’s true!

So anyway, we had a good long break,6 days to be exact. It was really a last minute thing. Greg got his roster and saw that he had a stretch of off days (because they can’t legally put him on flight anymore, his hours are too high) So we only decided to go the day before we took off on Thursday and came back on Tuesday. At least this time round it really felt like a holiday well…for me at least. We didn’t have to rush off to Disneyland…we didn’t plan what we were going to do but we just wanted to laze around and play it by ear. But of course Ah Yee (Greg’s aunt) the ever graceious host had our visas to Zuhai,China all prepared for everyday should we want to go on the spur of the moment. So, no taking chances there!! Hahaha! Weather is cold there, much colder then the last time we were there. The first night was sooo cold we all slept with the hot water bottle cradled in between our feet.It’s the most wonderful feeling!! Caitlyn was curled up like a ball, usually she sleeps like a starfish. Second night was a little better but the hot water bottled stayed… heheee!!

And this time round we finally had a meal at the famed Fernendos!! The last time we went 3 times but only made it to the doors. This place is so famous, people actually travel from Hong Kong and China to eat here. There is a que all day long from the time the restaurant is open at 11am till 10pm and… they don’t take reservations. You’ll have to go there put your name on the list and wait your turn. I’ll tell you all about Fernandos in another post. I’ll post it under my food blog.

When we came back I don’t think Aiden missed a beat at all…. if at all he really misses his sister. He called when we were in Macao and asked for his sister. Infact he wasn’t too happy when my brother sent him home on Wednesday. I had to coax him to bed. He actually thought that he had move to his grandparents’ coz that’s what he told his teacher. Sigh!! He is only 4 and he wants to leave home already. What am I going to do when he grows into his teens? So yesterday we (Greg and I) took him with us for John’s birthday dinner and left Caitlyn with my parents. Swap!! Hahaha! So that we can spend some time with him. I really missed him…all the funny things he says and all the conversations we have that doesn’t make any sense at all.. Like why does a doughnut have a hole in the middle. But it’s sooo cute.

On why I didn’t write while we were in Macao… Haha! To be honest I was just lazy and I was actually busy setting up my other blog in blogspot. Why do I have another blog? Well… I kinda gave up trying to load up my digital scrapbook layouts in this blog. I can’t seem to figure it out. There must be a way but I just can’t bother anymore. It’s so much easier in blogspot I swear to you! So, I figure out that it’s better this way anyway… I’ll post my writings…or ramblings and paper scrapbooking here and all my digital stuff there in blogspot.So please check it out at www.scrap-a-chick.blogspot.com or in future you can just click on the link on my blogroll that says “My other blog” There you’ll probable find all the layouts with the recent photos.

Why am I doing digital stuff?? Hehehe! To be honest..it’s just so much faster, not to mention cheaper!! Don’t worry, I’m not giving up paper scrapbooking…it’s just different. Digital is so much faster and convienient. I can do it anywhere I don’t have to carry all my stuff around. But that said…nothing beats the real thing right? And that’s not just for scrapbooking rite? hehehehe!
