<br />
I just called the Church that me and Lawrence want to get married at..<br />
And I asked the secretary some questions (let me rephrase that.. A LOT OF QUESTIONS.. hahaha)<br />
And OMG SO EXCITED!!!!!<br />
<br />
I booked an appointment for Wednesday, 16th July..<br />
So we'll be seeing the Priest then !!!!<br />
<br />
I'm Catholic and this is the Church that I went to as a primary and highschool kid..<br />
So it's gonna be great getting married there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
And I asked her if it's possible to get your child baptised at the wedding..<br />
And she said it is.. all I have to do is check with the Father..<br />
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG<br />
<br />
So, she told me, there's gonna be the normal one or two months waiting time (for all the legal paperwork)..<br />
But we can get married in the next few months !!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!<br />
We basically want to get married as soon as possible...<br />
We've been engaged for almost 2 years... but have never had the money to get it done...<br />
BUT OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG........... LOL<br />
<br />
We don't really care what date the wedding is.. <br />
Our 2 year anniversary is this month already.. so basically there are no more special days to choose from.. LOL<br />
Unless anyone here can think of any special reason to do it in September, October, November or December ? Any special dates or holidays you can think of ?<br />
PLEASE HELP ME. LOL<br />
I'm gonna turn into Bridezilla. HAHAHAHA<br />
<br />
Oh, and I've already made my Wedding Vows..<br />
I did them like 4 months ago. LOL<br />
It's gonna be a traditional Catholic wedding, but according to the secretary, we can add our own vows in too.. so YAYY !!!<br />
<br />
We also have to do a 1 day preparation course.. so that'll be interesting. lol<br />
<br />
Oh, and I'm definitely changing my surname to Lawrence's...<br />
I don't think it's mandatory (it's everyone's choice :)) but I always thought I would...<br />
It's kinda like.. his family is now my family :)<br />
But yeah, with Alisha, we already feel like family.. Alisha already has Lawrence's surname :)<br />
<br />
ANYWHO IM SO EXCITED. YOU PROBABLY NOTICED. lol<br />
<br />
Ok, my laptop isn't plugged in.. and it's on low battery..<br />
So better go before it dies on me. LOL<br />
<br />
If anyone wants to suggest things for my wedding.. PLEASE DO !!!!!<br />
<br />
Here's the list of stuff that I'm going over atm:<br />
* Wedding Invitations<br />
* Food/Decorations/Names/Seating<br />
* Wedding Cake<br />
* Wedding Music + Wedding Song<br />
* Post-wedding Pictures (Where???)<br />
* Photographer/Video Camera <br />
* Wedding Dress + Veil <br />
* Bridesmaids Dresses<br />
* Hiring of Suits<br />
* Clothes for Flower Girls<br />
* Shoes<br />
* Hair <br />
* Make-Up  <br />
* Contacts (for my eyes. LOL)<br />
<br />
Gotta go. Laptop about to die. LOL<br />
<br />
Love ya's all !!!!<br />
<br />
All my love,<br />
Thuy xox</p>]]></content:encoded>

THE THING WHO'S ALWAYS GOT CUTE LIL BOOGERS HANGING OUTTA HER NOSE CAN WALK !!!!<br />
hahahahahahaha</p>
<p>But yeah, for a few weeks now, Alisha has been able to take several steps..<br />
Even about 20.. then she's been just falling down.. lol<br />
But as of the 20th of June (yes, fancy. lol), my daughter could walk !!!!<br />
She follows me around now ! I have a groupie ! haha<br />
<br />
Lawrence and I are so excited&hellip;<br />
<br />
And ok, Alisha is dancing to my music atm.. haha</p>
<p>I know I haven&rsquo;t blogged in ages.. hope ya didn&rsquo;t miss me. lol<br />
But so much has been happening, so I&rsquo;ve been gathering up my pictures and videos, so I could show you all :)</p>
<p>So here r the pics&hellip;<br />
And yes, you will be able to see Alisha walk :) Thank you, YouTube :) (haha, shameless plug. Lol)<br />
(Sorry, that the videos are blurry though... the quality on my camera phone isn't great.. :( lol)<br />
<br />
<strong>This was our first attempt at getting Alisha to feed herself&hellip;<br />
As you can see, it wasn&rsquo;t too successful..<br />
What with all the custard on her face&hellip;<br />
&ldquo;Oh, you missed a spot, Lishi&hellip;&rdquo; LOL<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51353/11-06-08_1219.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
A couple weeks back, 3 of Lawrence&rsquo;s friends decided to pop around for a visit..<br />
And two of them have never seen Alisha before&hellip; so it was great to see them too, as it&rsquo;s been a while :)<br />
<br />
This is Alisha being TOO affectionate with Lawrence&rsquo;s friend. hahahaha<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51355/15-06-08_1147.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
In these two pics, Alisha is opening up another Birthday pressie... from Lawrence&rsquo;s friend :)</strong></p>
<p><strong> <img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51357/15-06-08_1158.jpg/"/><br />

</strong></p>
<p><strong>And here is a pic of Lawrence, his friends, and of course, Alisha :)<br />
Or cinnamon donut, as I like to call her :) hahahahaha<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51359/15-06-08_1202.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
For about a week now, I&rsquo;ve been giving Alisha Nutri Grain for breakfast..<br />
And she loves it !!!! <br />
Hence, the excitement on her face here. hahahaha<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51360/20-06-08_1139.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
And here is video footage from the day Alisha started walking all by herself !!!!!!!<br />
LOL Listen to her noises.. so cute. Haha<br />

<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ok, so since Alisha started walking..<br />
There&rsquo;s been no stopping her&hellip;<br />
<br />
We went to K-Mart..<br />
And next thing you know, destruction was occurring in the toy section.. hahaha<br />
<br />
Here&rsquo;s a pic of Alisha walking around with a sword..<br />
Don&rsquo;t worry, we didn&rsquo;t buy it for her, she&rsquo;s too young for it.. lol<br />
That didn&rsquo;t stop her from running around with it though.. haha<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51361/21-06-08_1519.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
Here&rsquo;s a VIDEO of her walking around with the sword !!!!!<br />
See how independent she is already&hellip;<br />
She walks around everywhere.. Seriously, EVERYWHERE. lol<br />
<br />

<br />
We then went to Target..<br />
And Alisha, being the poser she is, decided to flaunt off her cute lil baby body.. LOL<br />
And the fact that she can now walk.. haha<br />
Here&rsquo;s a pic of her doing that :)<br />
<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51362/21-06-08_1701.jpg/"/></strong></p>
<p><strong>And you see the shoes that she&rsquo;s holding ?<br />
We had to buy them, cuz she wouldn&rsquo;t let go of them. LOL<br />
She&rsquo;s taking them apart here :) haha</strong></p>
<p><strong><img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51363/21-06-08_1702.jpg/"/></strong></p>
<p><strong>Here&rsquo;s a video of her walking around Target, with the shoes..<br />
And you can see, she&rsquo;s a fast walker already..<br />
She went from the baby shoe section&hellip; to women&rsquo;s clothing. hahahaha<br />
She even had time to check herself out in the mirror..<br />
Oh, and get her shoes caught in it too. LOL<br />
<br />

<br />
This is just a pic of Alisha and her Daddy :)<br />
I thought it looked sweet :)<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51364/21-06-08_1928.jpg/"/></strong></p>
<p><strong> Before I took this pic, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to compare how much Alisha has changed in the past year&hellip;<br />
See for yourself :)<br />
<br />
This is Alisha, when she was only 15 days old&hellip;.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51365/20-06-07_1140.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
And here is the new pic I took of her.. at 1 year and 17 days old&hellip;<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51366/22-06-08_1511.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
And for these two pics here, this was Alisha&rsquo;s first time INSIDE a trolley..<br />
Not in the baby seat !!!! Yayy !!!<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51368/23-06-08_1017.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
Haha she looks so amused by the food inside the plastic bags. lol<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51370/23-06-08_1018.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
I know I shouldn&rsquo;t have taken a pic of Alisha crying..<br />
But I wanted a pic of both of us..<br />
And I actually turned out looking ok. LOL<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51371/23-06-08_1505.jpg/"/><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ok, and yesterday, we went out to the city..<br />
We ate at a restaurant (one that me and Lawrence used to go to a lot, before we had Alisha :))&hellip;<br />
And we also sang karaoke (we used to do that a lot too&hellip; if you don&rsquo;t already know, I LOVE SINGING .. hehe.. and I do a bit of songwriting too&hellip; I&rsquo;ve been singing since I was 5.. hehe :))<br />
<br />
Anywho, here is a pic of Lawrence and Alisha, at the restaurant&hellip;<br />
Check out her cute pose. LOL<br />
&ldquo;Look at me !&rdquo; hahaha<br />
Or &ldquo;Look at moi !&rdquo; as the TV show &lsquo;Kath and Kim&rsquo; would say. lol<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51372/24-06-08_1550.jpg/"/><br />

<p><strong>Here&rsquo;s a picture of the restaurant..<br />
I love this shot..<br />
As you can see, I love taking photos a fair bit. hahaha<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51373/24-06-08_1553.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
And these were pics taken last night, right before Alisha&rsquo;s bath&hellip;<br />
<br />
Alisha was trying to give Daddy a hug :)<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51374/24-06-08_1929.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
Awww look at how happy Alisha looks, when hugging her Daddy :)<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51375/24-06-08_1931.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
</strong><strong>Ooh and here&rsquo;s another comparison of how much she&rsquo;s grown..<br />
<br />
This is Alisha when she was 2 months and 24 days..<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51376/29-08-07_0039.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
And this is now Alisha at 1 year and 19 days&hellip;<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51377/24-06-08_2008.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
And here&rsquo;s the final pic..<br />
A happy picture of Lawrence and Alisha..<br />
Right before she went to bed :)<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-933/51378/24-06-08_2013.jpg/"/><br />
<br />
</strong>Hope you enjoyed the pics !<br />
They took a lot of effort, trust me. hahaha<br />
<br />
Anywho, I also haven&rsquo;t been on lately, cuz I&rsquo;ve been a bit sick as well..<br />
Dodgy weather and all..<br />
I keep getting a bad headache, bit of a runny nose.. and constant nausea..<br />
But hey, I could be pregnant, for all I know ! lol<br />
<br />
I better be going now&hellip; too much info in this blog. haha<br />
<br />
Hope you&rsquo;re having a great week..<br />
Don&rsquo;t do anything crazy..<br />
Wait, who am I kidding..<br />
MAKE SURE YOU DO SOMETHING CRAZY. lol<br />
<br />
Love ya&rsquo;s all !!!!!!<br />
<br />
All my love,<br />

Thank you to everyone for calming me down about the party.. hahahaha<br />
The party went off without a hitch, so I'm sure that Lawrence's 21st and my 20th birthday, should too !!<br />

<br />
Today, Alisha tried these Baby Rice Cakes for the first time..<br />
And she loved them !!!!!<br />
And it was so exciting for us, because of all the finger foods we've tried to give her, she's only ever stared at them ! LOL<br />
(As oppose to the toys that she usually tries to eat. haha)<br />
<br />
But anywho, she had 3 mini rice cakes within 15 minutes and I was so amazed.. and so was Lawrence :)<br />
She kept chewing away and wanting more ! hehe</p>
<p>And so, as I was looking at the packet, I noticed a 'Feedback Hotline' where you could call and let them know what you thought of the product..<br />
And thing is, I've never done this before..<br />
I have never liked anything THAT much to want to call (LOL)...<br />
Or hated anything THAT much either.. hahahaha<br />
<br />
But I thought to myself: &quot;why not?&quot; :)<br />
<br />
I called the hotline and a nice woman answered..<br />
And I said: <br />
&quot;This is gonna sound a bit lame *laugh*, but my daughter is almost 1 years old, and she tried those mini rice cakes that you guys sell.. And she loved them!!!!!!&quot;<br />
<br />
And you should've heard the excitement in the woman's voice.. she was so happy that I called !<br />
She said: &quot;That's great to hear !!!!!!&quot;<br />
<br />
And I continued to say: &quot;She ate 3 of them in 15 minutes... and I couldn't believe it.. Because we've been trying so hard to find a finger food that she would eat, so we were so glad when she ate them!&quot;<br />
<br />
And the woman replied with: &quot;Thank you soooooo much for calling ! I'll pass that on to our marketing team !!!!!&quot;<br />
<br />
And it made me feel so good inside.<br />
I know it sounds kinda lame, but that's the feeling I get when I help people...<br />
Because my hubby works at a call centre, he knows what it's like to be given s*^^ CONSTANTLY...<br />
So he thinks that the woman must have been VERY EXCITED that someone called to actually give NICE feedback !!! :)<br />
<br />
This reminded me of a time when I was in high school..<br />
I was in the library studying, and this girl asked her friend if she had a pen, but she said no...<br />
And I turned to her (without even knowing who they were) and offered mine... <br />
And they were really grateful..<br />
And it made me feel so good.. lol..<br />
It may have been a little gesture..<br />
But sometimes, a little gesture does go a long way :)<br />
<br />
But anywho, if you're wondering, the baby rice cakes that Alisha tried were:<br />
Heinz Little Kids Mini Rice Cakes (ORIGINAL) :)<br />
<strong><br />
And here are pics of Alisha eating them.. LOL<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>From &quot;I'm a lady!!!!&quot; ....</strong><br />

<p><img width="644" height="480" src="http://www.minti.com/image/r-700-523/49459/P5100051.JPG/" alt=""/></p>
<p><br />
Our husbands have known eachother for YEARS...<br />
And Lawrence has met Kell once..<br />
But I only knew her off Minti :)<br />
<br />
She's really cool... <br />
STOP CALLING ME 'TREE' !!!! lol<br />
Now, if anybody is wondering, my name is pronounced 'TWEE' LOL<br />
Kell keeps calling me 'Tree' on purpose, so I call her 'Smell'. hahahaha</p>
<p>Alisha got to meet Kell's kids - Ella and Mia - and OMG they're so cute ! lol<br />
Mia is just as small as Alisha.. hehe<br />
And Ella - OMG SO CUTE. haha. She kept playing with the ice then going &quot;cold cold&quot; hahahahaha<br />
<br />
Oh, and as for Mother's Day on Sunday, we went to my parents' and Lawrence's parents' house :)<br />
<br />
Lawrence's Dad was sick so we didn't get to see him :(<br />
LOL we found out that Lawrence's 14 year old brother broke up with his girlfriend..<br />
and has now got a new 17 YEAR OLD GIRLFRIEND !!!! She's 18 this year !!! OMG ! lol<br />
<br />
But yeah, at my parents, my whole family was there -  my brothers, sister, sister-in-law, nephews and my parents (obviously. lol)... <br />
It was good... my Mum made some Mussles.. and OMG SO YUMMY.... <br />
I was the last one to finish eating.. haha<br />
Not that I finished.. everybody started leaving before I finished.. so I didn't get to eat as much as I wanted :( hahahaha</p>
<p>Anywho, the longer this entry is, the less time I spend on Minti..<br />
So I must be off. HAHAHAHA</p>
<p>Well, hope you guys are having a great start to the week...<br />
<br />
I know this is totally off topic, but congrats to 'Home and Away' for its Logies..<br />
And to Lincoln Lewis for winning his first Logie !!!!!!!<br />
SOOOO PROUD ! lol<br />
(Can you see how obsessed I am with 'Home and Away' ? LOL)</p>
<p>Ok, now I really must be off. haha</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I've been feeling horrible for the last 2 days...<br />
I've got a really really bad cold...<br />
And it seems to get better then worse...<br />
Then better.. then worse...<br />
You get my drift. LOL</p>
<p>I'm only on because I love Minti sooo much.. lol<br />
But yeah, I'm getting off now to get a good night's sleep...<br />
<br />
It's been pretty horrible feeling sick all day and having to look after Alisha by myself...<br />
And having to do the dishes.. take out the rubbish.. cook...<br />
I know, it's the typical stay-at-home-mum thing and I love it.. trust me :)<br />
But when you're sick and hubby's at work, it's pretty tiring because you can't lie in bed and be sick.. you gotta just keep going :)<br />
<br />
But anywho, I'm not complaining, just thought I'd share my feelings and see if anybody cared... LOL</p>
<p>So yeah, if I'm hardly on for the next few days and nights (or just comment once in while), you'll know where I am...<br />
In bed or looking after Alisha !</p>
<p>On a lighter note though, this morning began really well :)<br />
Lawrence had work at 8.20am so he woke at 7am and I made him a surprise breakfast !<br />
I was feeling alright at the time so I thought I'd do that.. and it made him really happy :)<br />
<br />
Oh, last Saturday, we went shopping and got Alisha some winter clothes...<br />
OMG HER NEW CLOTHES ARE SOOO CUUUUUUTE !<br />
I'd upload some pictures but the Bluetooth USB is broken :( lol<br />
Lawrence is hoping to scab one off his parents.. they're on holiday atm. LOL</p>
<p>Can you believe it... Another two months and Alisha turns 1 !!<br />
We're hoping to throw her a big party !!!! hehe</p>
<p>But anywho, another thing about Saturday, my brother and his girlfriend came over for several hours...<br />
And it was so much fun !<br />
I have two brothers.. I've talked about my eldest brother, but this is the 2nd oldest brother...<br />
He's two years older than me :)<br />
<br />
But anywho, before my bro started uni, he and his girlfriend used to come over every night and play X-BOX with us...<br />
and bitch, as you do.. LOL<br />
But with uni and all, he hasn't had time to come over...<br />
So it was the first time in MONTHS that we'd seen them...<br />
But it was really good :)<br />
<br />
I really love my bro and his girlfriend.. along with my hubby, they're my closest friends...<br />
I used to have some rough times with my bro, years back, but things have changed so much...<br />
He's really believed in me and for that, I'm so grateful....<br />
Ever since we were kids, he was always there for me...<br />
He taught me how to ride a bike, to believe in myself, and was the best role model... always guiding me in the right direction :)<br />
<br />
Anywho, better be off to bed...<br />
Being sick sucks :( lol</p>
<p>Well, hope you guys are enjoying the start of your week...<br />
And continue to enjoy the rest of it :)</p>
<p>All my love,<br />
Thuy xox</p>]]></content:encoded>
