.:: Singapore Idol ::.
Its been donkey weeks since I last watched the Singapore Idol or the Result Show.....Only to check out the website on every Thurs after 9pm just to find out who's been voted out.....
And only earlier tonight that I've managed to plonked myself in front of the telly....
I was amazed with Hady Mirza's rendition of "Lagenda" originally sung by the M'sian Jazz Queen, Sheila Majid....so amazed that it brought me to tears when Ken commented that it was the BEST performance of the season!
Guess what? I even decided to cast in my vote for Hady! Singapore, its time to dig your ears and send in your votes wisely, like I did....
Yes Hady, u r my no. 1 choice to be the next S'pore Idol!

.:: Fireworks Again ::.
Last night went to watch the display of fireworks again....this time round, we were on time & managed to find a closer spot....(except for some trees blocking part of the view & an absence of a tripod! bleaggh!)
Brought Mak, Ciko & Sofiy along to catch the fireworks display from France and as expected there was a big crowd turn up....
Just to watch a 15 minutes of Fireworks galore, there was a sea of people crowding around Marina Bay and don't forget, the massive traffic jam! And mind you, this firework display ain't cheap....
Click here to view some of my shaky shots....

.:: Fireworks & Marine Parade ::.
Last night, we didn't get to watch the full view of the colourful display of fireworks at Marina but only managed to watch the last few minutes of it somewhere near Millenia Walk....
The streets were crowded with people trying to get the best location to watch the burst of colours lighting up the night at Marina for at least 15 minutes.....
Wished I was along Fullerton Rd with a camera tripon and all....but only managed to capture some shaky shots and only seeing the 'belen-belen bunga api'.....Well, at least something than nothing at all, right?....
We then went to Marine Parade to meet up with the rest of the gang for a chat session which ended around 1.15am.....

Sunday, 6 August 2006
.:: Yesterday ::.
In the morning went to send Ilyas for his yearly checkup & get that long overdue Hepatitis A jab from his Paediatrician....
Upon seeing the needle, Ilyas screamed his heart out with tears flowing and he put up a good struggle which made his Abah & Dr Siva having to wrestle with him! Hahaha....too bad it happened too fast & got no time for me to snap those candid moments of the 3 of them.....
It was a HOT afternoon, I tell ya & we were sweating all over at Mt Faber...Luckily, Ilyas wasn't that cranky & didn't need much coaxing when we told him that we weren't taking any cable car rides ....
Pls click here for more photos at Mt Faber...
At night, we went to Yus' place for housewarming....been a while we've not met the rest of the brady bunch...We were busy chatting & catching up on each other's latest development...till there's simply no time for me to snap photos of our gathering.....
Saturday pass in a breeze and now I'm left with not much of Sunday to spend......Why does weekend need to be so short? But its okay....when the nation celebrates its 41st Birthday on Wed, its gonna be rest time for me again!
Woohooo!

.:: Result ::.
My son's first spelling result!
So proud of him....
When I taught him spelling, we practised in blank pieces of paper where I draw lines for him to write on as a guide....
And it seems it has become a habit for him...drawing lines on his book even when lines are already provided!
hehehe....
