Appraisal Period

Has been busy at work, so wasn't able to update my blog until now. Anyone miss us? Ok, appraisal period...lots of crap. My boss has been very nice to me, wrote tons of good words about my performance but will I get promoted next year? Again, she said she can only write story for me and it is totally up to Faculty level and HR to have the final say! Same like gambling, really have to depend on luck! She told me one of my colleauges doesn't deserve to be promoted two years back but she was just lucky. Frankly speaking, I am so much better then her! Ok...I should stop bragging and let Faculty/HR decide my fate, moreover, this is only my 2nd year with the Department...

Last Saturday, we brought Constance to my Aunt's new flat. The same Aunt whom I knit sweater for and the one we used to stay with at Orchard. She and my Uncle decide to own a flat after staying in "private" for 20 over years! In deed, they are one of the first few who hike the price of Kim Tian's HDB to over half a mil.

With my grandma aka Ah Ma.

We borrow the hairband from cousin Alycia so that I can look more girly

Last Sunday, we brought Constance to West Coast Mcdonald's for MY breakfast. She is too young to enjoy the food and Adrian is not a fan of Mc's. We do enjoyed ourselves though and hopefully can go again this weekend haha. As usual the staff love to distribute balloons to kids during breakfast hours, when the lady saw Constance and was preparing to hand one to her, Daddy said "Its okay, you can give the balloon to other kids since she is too young to appreciate it". But she was so attracted by the balloons...eyeing to lay hands on it. So when the lady left, she longingly look at others with balloons. Ok, that's it, we decide to get a balloon for her as we can't bear to see her feeling "disappointed". When the lady make her 2nd trip, we asked for one - a smaller one though. And seeing her smiling simply melts our heart and that's priceless!

My Daddy and Mummy love to make fun of me. I hate this cap!

And we finally took the playpan back from storhub and assembled it. The playpan was past down from my nephew and is still usable. With the confine space, I doubt she will enjoy staying inside for long.

Mummy, it is time you buy new tops for me. Mine has turned into mid-drift now!

Lastly, here is my latest knits. I have completed the blanket and the scarf. And I did a last minute scarf for another colleague who is leaving the Department. Arghhh...I accidentally felted the blanket. I washed the pure wool in washing machine using HOT water. Will post pictures tomorrow if possible.

Here is my new project - eyelet wrap cardi from Rebecca Mag.
