Back from vacation!

Hey gals!

I'm back from 1 month of vacation! Just opened the shop yesterday night and am overwhelmed with the number of orders today! Coz I was expecting a drastic fall in orders for at least a week before things get back on track. Gosh, I must really thank all of you for being so supportive and patient! And thanks for all the welcome back messages. Appreciate loads!

As you can see, the tagboard is taken off again. Always happens coz when I get busier I have no time to check the tagboard daily, and I realised its not good to put it there making people think that they can tag a question and get a prompt answer, when I might be answering only days later. The best way to make enquiries will still be email. I check at least once every 2 days :) Sms is fine too but no guaranteed reply, coz when i'm busy i'll have to ignore it and might forget about it later.

My vacation was absolutely fantastic. Did nothing but eat, rest and play! I gained 3kg in one month. Screamed when I stood on the weighing scale. But it's worth it for the good food. Yums. Love the roadside barbecues there. AWESOME.

I didn't go to the Expo for the entire month of course. I only went for 2 days and already buay tahan. Its crazy!!! SO freaking tiring. I expected having to queue for hours. It's fine if you get to sit down or even just stand there and wait. But i didn't expect the queue slowly but constantly moving, so you basically have to be walking baby steps for 2 hours or more and never get to rest. Can't sit down for even 1 second coz the queue is always moving (very very slowly) and if you sit down, people behind are going to squeeze past you. Now, who says Singaporeans are kiasu? They haven't seen the Chinese!

I got to see my little cousin during vacation. She's soooooooooooooo freaking adorable. She's the cutest baby I've ever seen! Only 16 month but she can understand everything you say and I'm dead serious. You tell her "sit on my lap and i'll wear your shoe for you", and she'll really come over and sit on your lap! Or, "don't touch this or it'll explode!" and she'll really stop touching. Or, "go and hug *whoever*" and she'll go over and raise her hands for a hug. How cute is that! She's always smiling and seldom cries. She can't talk yet, the only words she can speak are "mama", "bu yao (don't want)" and "mei you (don't have)". She calls everyone mama (including me and her grandparents). Damn cute lah. I was so sad when I had to leave her. Cried on the car and even when I was back in Singapore coz I really miss her. Luckily when I'm going US for vacation at the end of the year, she's going too. Cant wait!
