29 Aug: Of breasts and babies

Breasts and babies.. These would be the 2 keywords to summarize my day today.  K and I attended a breastfeeding seminar organized by Philips Avent this morning at the Philips corporate building in Toa Payoh.  For 2 hours, we listened to healthcare professinals explain the advantages of breastfeeding.  We had signed up for the seminar mainly for the goodie bag, which was supposedly valued at $118.  For $10 registration fee, i thought this was a good bargain.  But the goodie bag didn't impress me.  All it had were Pampers diapers, a small 125ml milk bottle, a milk storage bottle and some vouchers.  The buffet lunch was not too bad though.  I had 2 helpings even though we were supposed to attend a birthday party in the next hour.

After the seminar and lunch, we headed to the service center in the next building to check if my hair straightener had been repaired.  I have been on the verge of going crazy from not being able to straighten my messy hair for the past 2 weeks since i came back from NZ.  Unfortunately, the guy at the counter told me it's not ready yet, despite me sending it for repairs 4 days ago.  Argghhh... looks like i still have to continue tying up my hair or risk meeting my customers with messy let down hair..

We went over to K's cousin's place in Punggol for her son's 1st birthday.  More buffet food and relatives asking about my baby etc.. The birthday boy wasn't too happy though, kept crying throughout. Which was a real pity, cause he's such a handsome boy. K's cousin actually entered him in a photo competition, which he didn't win, but got into the top 12.. here are some photos of the birthday boy taken for his photo competition.  Simply adorable isn't he?!  And so full of expressions.. = )


If we weren't relatives, i might match make him with my baby Bria!
