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.

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....

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.

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.

Superstar!!

Bought for him at the pasar malam... :)

Bryant Blabbers..

SHE is finally HERE....

She is so SMALL.. and Daddy, Mummy and Ah Ma do not allow me to go near her. I do not understand why! I just want to play with her!!

I offered her my biscuits, sweets but Mummy said mei mei can only drink milk milk. Weirdo.. Got sweets yet does not want to eat..

I like to watch mei mei sleep. She is very cute. I like to kiss her too :) But sometimes I got too excited and started to get rough with her like pull her hair, pull her mittens or booties. I thought she is same like me and like to play peekaboo so I threw blanket at her to cover her. But mummy scolded me and beat me!! :(

Mummy and Daddy beat me very often now. They said I am a notti boy. They are using the cane on me. It is very painful. :(

I feel very insecure. Mummy used to carry me, now she only carries mei mei. So I always cry when she carry mei mei and want Mummy to carry me too. Then Ah Ma will carry me away. I do not understand why Mummy does not want to carry me!! Is it they do not love me anymore?

Nobody understand how I feels now. I am so sad. :(

Future Drummer??

My dad bought Bryant a drum set and surprisingly he plays quite well.
Thank god the noise pollution is minimal. Haha!
I asked Deli if we should get one set for him here and he quickly rejected my suggestion. -_-"
Perhaps one day he will set up a band like May Day and play for me! Hehe! *dreaming*

Who says durian is SMELLY?? ;P

Some Updates...

Let's talk about Bryant first.. :)

He is now 91cm tall and weighs about 14.2kg. PD said he is overweight for his age but OK for his height. When I told Calyn and gang, she kept saying "Told you lioa!! Your son is FAT!!" -_-"

He is adapting well in childcare now. Seldom cries now when I sent him there especially when Teacher Alice is around. In fact, recently, he starts to wave bye bye to me and give me a flying kiss. Contradicting feelings again: Happy that he is adjusting well, sad that he no need me lioa. Haiz.. WOMEN!!

Now let's talk about me and Carys.

Went for anenatal checkup last Saturday. Everything is OK and Carys weighs about 1.2kg and I am now 30 weeks + preggy. On Monday night, I fell on the bed on my tummy while trying to save Bryant from falling off the bed. Carys did not move for 30mins and I was very scared. Quickly called gynae and he asked me to get myself admitted to Mt Alvernia. When I reached labour ward, I started to have contractions. Gynae came and checked and found out my contractions have started and was very close but my cervix was not opened tho Carys is very low. He said 30 weeks is too early to give birth so want to suppress my contractions. Gave me med and stay overnight for observations. The med worked and my contractions became longer and by Tue morning, it stopped. Did an ultrascan on Carys and she is OK and weighs about 1.6kg. Gynae decided to let me go home after I promised him that I will take very good care of myself.

Now I am at home resting. Hope everything will be fine and Carys can wait for at least 5 more weeks. :)

中秋节快乐

We got the...

APPROVAL LETTER!!! ;)

Hip hip hooray!!

Bryant finally went back to school this morning but school was pretty quiet. Well, it is good in a way coz Bryant will hv UNDIVIDED ATTENTION from all the teachers. Hehe!!

He cried quite badly when Teacher Alice attempted to carry him. Think due to long absence from school thus caused this reaction. Anyway, he settled down soon after he washed his hands. Hope he has a great day today. :)

HFMD!

Bryant was down with HFMD on last Wednesday.

Symptoms: small red bubble spots, up-down fever and ulcer in his mouth.

I quickly brought him to see PD that night. Thank goodness is a mild case. He is given anti-viral med for 5 days. When I brought him back for review on Friday night, he has almost recovered. Going to bring him back for 2nd review tonight and also hope to get his "medical cleared" letter.

Every morning when he saw Deli and I getting ready for work, he would quickly take his schoolbag and followed us. I would look at him and said "You can only go to school when you are fully recovered." and he started to howl loudly. I know he misses school, his friends and teachers alot.

Hope tonight we can get the "approval" letter and he can attend school tomorrow. :)

A ROCKSTAR is BORN!!

"We are Singapore... Singaporeans..."

We celebrated National Day @ Marcus house. Bryant has a "new" girl friend. Hehe! Dorinda set a rule and that is everyone gotta wear red and white since is National Day. It was a beautiful sight, too bad we did not have a group photot.

SIck AGAIN!

Bryant got bronchitis attack again. He stayed at home this whole week. His cough is extremely bad at night, and last night he even vomited. :(

He couldn't sleep well, so did I. I did not sleep a wink at all last night. Feel so tired today. Hope he will recover soon. Thank god his appetite is not affected and is still so active. In fact, he is so active till I nearly go crazy.

His mischiefs:
1) Jumping on sofa
2) Turn circle on sofa
3) Hide in wardrobe
4) Throw all the toys all the floor
5) Take toys and throw at others
6) etc

He definitely needs some DISCIPLINE now.
