Valentine's Day(s)

Dear All

With the girls a little bigger and independant now, Bert and I managed to sneak in a Valentine's Day lunch at Delifrance. They had a promo with a sweet heart-shaped cake for couples to share, and a cute teddy bear for the lady ;) I personally prefer bears to roses as roses die and that's kinda wasted and forgotten very soon, whereas bears...you can cuddle them. The cute valentine bear is in our bedroom now.

Tiffany is so busy with school the entire week and Felicia with her CCAs (Info Com, Librarian duties and church choir) plus tuitions practically 3x a week, we hardly have any time for each other just to have family time and fun. So we decided to keep Sat evenings for the family as far as possible. As it falls on V day, we treated the girls to Jumbo Seafood restaurant. We of course finished off with their signature dish, the chilli crab! Yummy. I will upload the pix from my hp after I figure it out with Tiffany's help. (OK..pixs uploaded with help from Feli as Tiffy is asleep.)

Then on Sun, 15 Feb 09, I met up with Felicia's P1-P2 classmates and mums....it was fun, as the girls had a surprise....baking session!! Actually, the host mum baked the cupcakes, and the kids had fun decorating them. At this host mum's home, her pussy-willow was awesome!! It was shooting NEW shoots at the top and the pussy-willow "flowered" with hairy pollen-like stigmas!! It was amazing! We told her, sure sign of wealth coming in for her!!

This beginning of 2009 has been challenging for us...what with the kids studies and hassles and bussles...hopefully as the year unfolds, all of us (that means you lovely LC couples) will have a peaceful and healthy and wealthy year.

BTW, I'm going for an ultra-scan next Fri to check for cryst in my pelvic area. Pray for me that all goes well. Sure sign that age is catching up on us, yah?
