Ain’t over till the Fat Boy sings!

Look who is coming to town on 10th June?

:

Okay, Okay. I know the pictures appeared blurry (thanks to no more digital camera and having to use my old-skool mobile phone and I cannot keep my hands still!), but there it said these:

Fat Boy Slim. Live in Bangkok. Royal Paragon Hall. 10/06/11. 19:00. A Standing. 2500.

Can’t wait!

Last of the last

Earlier this month, I made the decision to stop pumping and start introducing the much dreaded follow-on formula milk. Since then, I gradually decrease my pumping frequency and about 2 weeks later, my milk supply has completely dried up.

Today, marked the day where the last of the last stash of frozen breast milk was used and mixed in together with the formula milk for Spud. It felt a bit nostalgic, seeing the last frozen bag, I tell you. So nostalgic that Silver Bullet actually took a picture of it as something to remember us by…with date, time and all. Unfortunately, the picture had disappeared in the orbits of my point-and-shoot camera which died on me this morning.

So. There is now officially no more frozen breast milk stashed away in our freezer. All that is left are just a few unused boxes of breast milk storage bags…

And with that, Spud will start on 100% follow-on milk (I still don’t like the thought of it) until she is able to take cow’s milk when she turns one in a few more months.

Now that this is over, I am truly glad to be able to provide Spud with exclusive breast milk for a good 9 months, despite all the challenges I faced in the initial stages.

Point-and-Shoot: Dead

My 3 year-old shock and waterproof, point-and-shoot digital camera officially died today.

It suddenly developed a mind of its own by turning itself on and changing its settings altogether which makes no absolute sense, before giving out a funny “bomb-alert” type of sound that just would not stop beeping.

That means, I am going to take crappy pictures for my blog using my super out-dated Sony Ericsson’s mobile phone, until I get it replaced. Bleahhh.

And double bleahhh as now I have to think about what type of digital camera I will have to get as there are so many out there, and at present, I don’t really know what I want. That means, I have to research (which takes time and waste time) and then, the actual hassle begins when I have to shop for one. Bleahhh.

And, spending unnecessary money. Bleahhh. Bleahhh.Bleahhh.

Given that it was a waterproof camera, I thought it was ironic that it probably went hay-wire right after I took it into the pool with me (for like the umpteenth time already) for Spud’s swimming lesson yesterday. I guess it could not handle the stress no more after being trashed around (shock proof, too, remember!).

While all the pictures “taken” this morning did not register into the SD card, at least all that were taken at the pool yesterday still turned out okay. And, I guess, it is only right that I post up some of the last pictures as a final tribute to my Olympus Mju 770 SW.
