Weekend of Happiness...

This weekend is more precious to me than any other weekends I get off, because it was time for us to celebrate Remy's birthday, and also because I'm returning to night shift after this :( :( So I gotta make sure I put it to good use! Spend quality time with the family... tee hee hee.

We slept in on Saturday. Woke up at about 10'ish... and by the time we ate breakfast, and got ready at a relaxing speed, we made our way to Chadstone for lunch so Jon could collect his suit pants from SABA. 

Mei sporting her favourite Mimco scarf, and the interesting, refreshingTEA. We went for yumcha at the Tea House, at the gourmet food section in Chadstone. 

They have like a hundred different types of teas in this place! I like it! You get to choose from a vast selection of hot, or cold teas, to match the weather, or your mood.... whatever you feel like really! 

Jon demonstrating how to drink this tea from their special glass. The crysanthemum and wolfberries are infused in a separate compartment in the tea. When you want to drink it, all you need to do is lift the compartment up, and it automatically "strains" or filters the things out so all that remains in the glass, is nothing but fully flavoured, aromatised tea. 

If the taste is not strong enough, you can dunk it back in, and leave it in for longer - and keep them in there till the taste suits you. 

I lurve lurve lurve yumcha on a weekend :) Somehow, going for yumcha on a weekday *on my days off, of course* just doesn't seem quite right! Hahaha... Don't ask me why!

After lunch, we dropped by the Apple store so I could get my iPhone. As I walked into the store, I was shocked by how many people's actually in there!!! OMG! *faints* 

The Apple store never used to be soooo packed! There was hardly anyone there when I bought my Macbook years ago! Now, it seems like everyone has an iPod and an iPhone.... I don't think the majority of people are using Macs at home yet, but they are surely catching up! I don't feel so special anymore!! :( boohoo... eheheheh.

Crowded!!! 

And they now have people dressed in different colour codes - to provide you with different levels of help / assistance that you need. The black t-shirt guys are just general sales assistants, the orange t-shirt guys have some technical knowledge, and are mostly Mac users themselves, but are not formally technically trained. Lastly, the blue t-shirt guys are the ones you should approach if you have some technical questions.... You are just wasting your time if you asked someone else... 

We found it out the hard way. 

Jon wanting to enquire about the Leopard package. 

More surprise in the Apple store!!!

They now run workshops to teach people how to use Macs and iPhones!!! There was a class running when we were there! I was veryyyyy impressed!! With video camera and all that gadjet! 

-------------------------------------------------

We celebrated Remy's birthday in the evening by rewarding him with not one, but two of his favourite cupcakes!! It's not quite his ultimate favourite (which is chocolate) but we couldn't risk giving him 2 chocolate cupcakes!! He might just drop dead! 

Daddy and Remypoo, the boy who just turned 2~!!!

Mommy's favourite boy, Remy poo. He was too busy staring at the cupcakes, to look at the camera! 

The boy, all happy after having his cupcakes :) Note the smile on his face? hehehehe...

Remy's not quite a puppy anymore! With a blink of an eye, he's already 2 years old! He's still my little boy though, no matter how old he gets! 

Oh, a little digression, I watched Marley and Me, again - and cried buckets both times!! I couldn't bare the thought of our beloved doggy leaving us! I couldn't stand the fact that he's going to grow old, and eventually die!

Happified Remy - trying to climb over to Mommy's side of the couch. Heehee... Please ignore my pink socks. It was cold ok??? I obviously don't wear them out! They're my home socks... and oh, my ultimate must-have in the plane too :) 

We were playing with him after that... Chasing him around, playing ball, playing with his toys. He absolutely hates it when other people touches his toys. When you pick up toy A, he'd want to run to you and play with Toy A. When you pick up toys B,C or D - he'll do the same! And when you leave them alone, he ignores them! 

My boy's just so spoilt and possessive over his toys! That's how we get him to run around, by playing with his toys, so he'll wanna come and snatch them away from us! Hahahhaa...

This... is... Remy... by... the... end... of... the... night. 

KNACKERED~!!

I surely hope he had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Mommy loves you, Remy poo... although sometimes, you poo at the wrong spots!! Arghhhh!

p/s: OMG... autumn is officially over, and tomorrow, it's officially winter! Time surely flies...
