Me being MIA?

Reason: BUSY!!

1) Change new job (to a different biz unit)
2) Change new maid (this is my 3rd maid within 5 months, gonna get blacklisted soon!)
3) The 2 little monsters are keeping me busy and tired :)

Time passes so fast! It is mid November now, meaning, X'mas is coming soon!! Hehe!!
I can go on X'mas spreeeeee....

Let's talk about Bryant first...
He is progressing well in pre-school. :) Just had a fall recently :( Fell from sofa and hit his right eyebrow area. The "balugu" is very big! Finally subsided but still blue-black. He is still active as usual and has already forgotten about this accident. -_-" BOYS!!

Sarah is getting more and more cheeky. She likes to disturb Bryant, especially when he is sleeping. Haha!! REVENGE is sweet!! Her 3rd liitle pearlie is out. :) Oh yes, she is finally eating SOLIDS!! Gosh, she been drivin me nuts when she refused solids till recently. She only started to eat porridge 1 week before she turns 1 year old and now she is eating very very well.

Both of them are always fighting for toys, arghh! Therefore the house is very noisy. BUT, I like their noise and presence. :) They are the best gifts that are given to me.

Conversation with a 2-yr-old toddler

Me: Bryant, please do not finish the whole packet of cheezels
Bryant: I want to eat
Me: Can share with me?
Bryant: (think for about 3 sec) Ok but one only
Me: Can share with Sarah?
Bryant: (offers to Sarah) You want? But you have no teeth so cannot eat! (Put the cheezels in his mouth)

Cold Storage Kids Run - 24th May 2009 Sunday

I registered Bryant for fun and never expected him to COMPLETE the run. He threw his tantrums when the run was about to start so we went home. Perhaps the weather was hot? Maybe too crowded? Anyway, will still have chance again.

Zoo

I managed to get zoo pass and we invited Sean and his family to go with us on 23/05/09, Saturday.
It was raining in the early afternoon. Thank goodness the rain stopped when we reached there.

Bryant enjoyed himself most @ the Rainforest, children's playarea. I was busy chatting with Grace and forgotten to take photos. -_-"

Elaine & Anton...

Hen's Nite

Elaine's wedding was on the 16th May 2009, Saturday. Her Hen's nite was on Thursday nite @ Clarke Quay.

It was my first time attending Hen's nite. It was really HAPPENING. Haha! May and I were saying perhaps we should RENEW our wedding vows and the guys can help us arrange a Hen's nite. Haha!!

Ang Mos are more sporting when comes to play! Singaporeans really "shy".. Elaine completed her 10 tasks by 11pm and she was allowed to leave then. Haha! Anton sent his bestman down to ensure the gals did not go overboard that nite.

I did not really took much photos. But Emily, her bridemaid, took alot.





This is taken by Emily.

I Love You, You Love Me..

... We are Happy Family...With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.. *MUACKS*.. Won't you say u love me too...

What The Kids Have Been Doing in Apr...

Bryant likes to play with stickers. See what he has done with them. :)


Sarah hates her pacifier now, she prefers her "drumstick". She looks abit tomboy from the 1st photot.. hmm..


When Bryant is bored....

What I have been doing in Apr..

Well, I was SUPER BUSY with work, preparing QBR (Quarterly Biz Review). This is the first QBR for my Customer and also my first time doing it. I was totally CLUELESS and CARELESS.

Thank goodness Shelvin, Calyn and Gary helped me. They dropped me hints, helped me with my cosmetic presentation.I struggled for 2 weeks, most of the nights I worked OT, as I am VERY SLOW. -_-" They also taught me how to identify trends, that is the most interesting part.

Lesson Learnt:
1) Prepare data early
2) Make sure the data is CORRECT
3) Analyse my data, be prepared of questions being asked by PM (Program Manager)
4) Think myself as a customer, do I understand what I have prepared?

Bad Weather or Poor Health?

Bryant was the first to fall sick in early May. Got fever, cough and flu. The fever went up and down for a few days. He was restless, grouchy and no appetite. We saw his usual PD for a few times but the fever never went off totally. Mummy suggested to bring Bryant to see a Chinese doc and off we went.

The Chinese doc is located at Chomp Chomp area. He is a friendly man and his whole family are all physicians. After one day, Bryant fully recovered from his fever. He was back to his cheerful self. I was so relieved. :) He stayed at home for 2 weeks till he fully has appetite. The Chinese doc asked me to bring him back for review and he'll prescribe some tonics to build back his health.

Sarah fell sick on the 2nd week. She also got fever, cough and flu. I quickly brought her to see the Chinese doc. As I am still breastfeeding her, he asked me to take some "ling yang" so that Sarah will get some to bring down the fever. I only took one dosage and I also fell sick. Fever, vomit and giddiness. Sarah cried badly non-stop. I was very worried but I got no strength to pacify her at all. In the end, we brought her to KK A&E and I went to the Women's clinic to see doctor while waiting for her turn. She finally recovered after the 2nd visit to KK.

Now everyone is back to their healthy self. Hope can maintain this. I was really exhausted for the last few weeks looking after the 2 of them.

Candid Shots

These are some photos that I took using iPhone.

Botak...

Sarah turns 4 month old on March 5th 2009. We brought her to neighbourhood salon to shave botak. Why? Because we want to bring her to Temple to pray and she needs to be shaved botak to be "clean" then can step into the Temple.

She looks like Bryant now. :)

HUAT AHHH!!!

Bryant had 3 Lou Heis this year. One at Gim Tim with both families on 人日, another is at our home on 07/02/09 and on the last day at my parent's place.
Bryant likes to Lou Hei and I am impressed with his chopsticks skills! :)

Tiring, Frustrating Week

I feel so tired and depressed...

1) Bryant is sick again! Bronchitis and diarrhea. He has been eating medicine since before CNY till now. But his cough did not recover and in fact has worsened. Was on neubilizer last Friday evening. His diarrhea also did not improved because he refused to drink soy milk and he also refused food intake. Only kept crying and crying. He has lost weight and his face is very pale now. :(

2) Sarah got the virus from Bryant and starts to have diarrhea too. Last night started to get feverish.

3) Re-structure AGAIN!! Damned! Gotta look for new job again. Deli gave me a deadline and expects me to leave by August. :( Hate that ass**** who inititated this re-structure!!

4) Think I am too tired and thus low immune system, and I got the flu and fever from Bryant yesterday. Haiz....

Happy Birthday, BRYANT!!!

Bryant turns 2 today!! :)

We had an early celebration for him on last Saturday. Only immediate family. :)
He had a great time that evening!

I bought a small cake for him on the actual day.

Bryant's Updates

Bryant has stopped crying this week when the schoolbus arrived. I am so proud of him! :) He took 1 week to adjust.

Teacher also informed me that he is eating well in school and adjusting well in school. But I think the quantity is not alot coz he ate alot during dinner time. We have decided to confirm him in MMI and will buy him school uniform soon. :)

He is still misbehaving. :( I think he needs a longer time to adjust having Sarah around. My heart aches when he is being caned for misbehaving. He cried very badly. He seemed troubled. I really in a loss. :(

1st Day @ Thomson MMI

Bryant started his full-day childcare @ Thomson MMI last Friday, 02/01/2009. He would travel by schoolbus to-and-fo. I accompanied him on his first day and he enjoyed himself.

On the 2nd day, I did not accompany him anymore and he started to cry. Especially when boarding the schoolbus in the morning. My heart aches when he cries. He is still so young! But I hardened my heart and strongly believes he should learn to be more independent.
