June - wtfxxing month

2008-06-28T15:35:00.004+08:00

WORK

phew....finally i'm alive in this blog again..guess many of my frenz wld hv thought i hv long given up updating liao ya...hello hello...im not always so "maggie mee" timing wan hor...

super long long month for me....it's year end closing lah, many many many things to do. seriously unbelievable, my office calendar is always full of invites for meetings....meetings after meetings, many a times are back to back, i even have lesser time having lunch with my buddies ann and rachel...

ZoZo + Family + Problem

work aside, my zozo is of cos my 1st priority lah...last 2 weekend i actually signed up for a Great Parenting Forum organised by Abbot. Each parent $10, cannot bring kids that are below 12yrs. Ok loh, then gota leave him at home with mum then. I've never never interested in such forum wan leh...somore from 12-5pm...wakaoz super long sia. But there were 7 speakers lah, from doctors, counsellors, director from shicida method school and even special guest celebrity. Huang Biren and Wong LiLin....they are the last 2 speakers, which i find it's the most time wasted session, can't be bothered to listen to how they share they experiences lah....lucky put them the last one.

Light lunch was provided, not bad eh...somore they gave pediasure goodie bag. Just try the milk loh, to me i find no harm is mixing the milk as and when. Cos just having 1 brand may not be a good thing too as he may be too dependent on it le.

The first speaker was the BEST....he was Mr Arthur Ling, he's the Director, Head of Family Services for Touch Community Services whereby he shared alot of very pragmatic and simple words to understand about Family and especially the topic that he's sharing is Balancing Work & Family - How to Involve Your Husband. This is a very very very good talk to walk those "sleeping" fathers who's not so much involve in their son's/daughter's daily, hourly, every minute, every seconds of their growing up. Solid example is my husband....haiz...lately i juz find that i can't communicate with him...

I'm already so busy at work, but when I'm home, I will try to make sure i spend time with my ZoZo, cos by the time we get home. we only have at most 3-4hrs with him!! And he will be asleep, then next day, at most another 0.5-1hr then we are off to work already! Hey, wat is so important on the fxxxing Euro? Or rather Live matches? The odds? I used to enjoy this game too, but ever since he became a total freak in following almost every single matches, spent his whole fxxxing time on the laptop monitoring, reading the odds TO GAMBLE!!! I start to hate and gets turn off by this game....am no longer a Liverpool fan, no longer interested in the updates of the players, no longer interested in Portugal, Spain, Chealsea watever F lah.....im totally pissed. I don't understand y man r like that, they rather stick theie arse on the sofa, staring at the laptop, dozing off with the hands in an odd position, but still not willing to go to bed. Still can say, aiya am watching lah...just resting my eyes....CRAP!!! Anyway I gave up, cant be bothered....i rather go smell my son's head, hands, feet, every part of his body while he's asleep and sleep close to him...

This whole week he's away to Lijiang for product workshop....i found more peace...i found more freedom....i found that, i don't have to have to frustrated and irritated feeling seeing him sitting at the same position every single nite until next morning....Frankly, I LOVE this feeling...hahaha! Well, i may have gone haywire liao....but lets see, he's coming back tonight, letz see how it goes ba....

Jurong Bird Park

2008-05-24T23:41:00.002+08:00

Had a long long walked........my our first visit to Jurong Bird Park!!! Imagine, jiak ka arni dua this is then my first time there....kekeke...not surprising lah huh i guess.

Since Mum and Jie went on a cruise so had to bring Mini along (in a way she can help me carry my barang and look after ZoZo also ya). Lynn jio us to go since her fren has the 4 free adult card pass. Just go look see look see lah....

By the time we got there, both DarDar and myself was famished. Head straight to Bongo Burgers for lunch. Damn expensive leh....we had 3 sets lunch, 2 BBQ chicken, 1 fish & chips, 3 drinks, cost me $37+!!!! WTF!!! Haiz....nvm lah.....just eat loh....

By the time the Goh Family arrived we were almost done and our walking journey can begin..... If I know at the entrance the staff didn't really check ah....I wouldn't have bought another ticket for $18 for Mini!!! Basket....anyways....

Weather was hot, so first stop we went was the Penguin house (more cooling lah). Cute penguins!!! They look so unreal, ZoZo simply loves this place as he loves looking and chasing after the birds!!!

Well, we were in time for the 3pm show, just sat down and see loh. Ok lah, not as fantastic but commendable. Afterwhich we just walked and walked and walked and took pictures...mostly my ZoZo lah, and try to take some "exotic" birds loh since we are there.

Found a small airconditioned coffee place, sat down enjoyed the aircon and had some sprite to cool down man.....My little one lagi enjoyed...as he was happily sipping the sprite his papa feed. Behind this place was an open loft, the so small colour birds are fly openly in this area for visitors to take pics and gota pay $2 for a small container of bird's food to feed them. And they will automatically come nearer to you. Aiya.....what for...so expensive, the birds are all there for you to take the shot...we just snap and snap and snap loh.

When we were ready to proceed with our walk, we walking infront excecpt ZoZo and his papa. Suddenly, we heard some commotion.....aiyo...I group of ah poo neh neh...came and grab my ZoZo busy taking video shots of him. 1 aunty neh neh grab him from another uncle and starting smooching him!!! Wakaoz...almost fainted.....aiya boh pian...suddenly he became their "star"...when they left, I quickly use wet wipes and clean him....hee......no choice lah...hygiene mah..

By the time we are walking out, it's almost 6pm liao. Can't imagine we have actually walked from 2pm siah....we headed to IMM for dinner at....Mac Donald's...fwahahaha...with my ZoZo around it's usually our meal hideout. Since my 4 redeemed burgers are expiring tomorrow, may as well eat it today loh with the Goh Family around, can share with them mah....

After dinner we went Daiso and walk walk....again....too many things..see until i blur. Anyway my darling boy had a good time today. He was tired, so are we.....pics will upload later...tired liao....

2 days Leave + Journey Begins Today

2008-05-13T22:18:00.003+08:00

Has to take to days leave to look after ZoZo. Mum was also down so no choice. Sunday nite didn't sleep, was sponging him the whole nite. Diana and Mini came in and help at 2am+ till almost 4am. He's feve went up to as high as 39.6 in the middle of the nite...haiz...dunno y lidat...

Anyway, Monday morning Diana took send us to Dr Ong's clinice at United Square to see him. Well, as usual loh, to doctors it's very normal wan...but at least he gave us the assurance that this is a very common fit that will not affect any of his development. And he has also confirmed that he doesn't have any sorethroat or any uclers (signs of HFMDs)....this is now the worse airborne virus happening this period.

By the time we got home, it's was almost lunch hour, Mum stayed home and rest in the morning as she's still coughing badly. By mid noon, I bth liao...eyes closing liao...went to take a long nap until 6+ den wake up....*yawns*...

Before dinner, ZoZo was still doing very well, at least his temperature was that high, but suddenly after dinner, his temperature went up to 38.7 again...aiyo....better take another day leave and look after through out the nite again....

At about 11pm, his temperature was very good, just that he started running nose again. At least without the fever he can sleep better. Was monitoring him until 1am, his temperature was normal for the past 2 hours. Well....so I better not sponge him, incase he gets too cold. Went to sleep as well....suddenly at 4am+ Dar said ZoZo's forehead is hot....aiyo when take the temperature he was 38.9 again....*faint*!!! Quickly started to sponge him again. His head, his body...until about 630am...finally his temperature went down to 37.6.

Since Mini, was awake already, I got her in to takeover while I sleep....very sleepy liao...bth...at least when his temperature is down, more fang xin (relieve) to sleep lah....will den start to get tired...if not naturally the energy will just last as long as it can.....

Woke up at 10am+.....since my appointment has already scheduled for today....may as well go loh....what appointment ah?? Fixing my braces loh......ai swee mah....itz lidat de...so my real journey begins today......This is actually my 3rd visit le, but the 1st and 2nd was to insert the separator to 3 teeth first, 2nd one was to take out the separator and put in the metal ring. Today is then fixing of the braces.....Suppose to be last week, but after the extraction of my 3 teeth (Dr Alfred Cheng said must extract de) my gums will still very pain...datz y i adjourned it till today.

Mum, ZoZo and Mini tagged along, since take taxi to and fro, so they kpo kpo loh, in a way also to bring ZoZo go "gaigai" awhile lah...cos the whole of last weekend did not go anywhere at all...Only took me about half and hour to fix on the metal braces....not bad lah....lucky no abrasion to my lips for now....just felt abit uneasy when chewing my food...

Went home, since I'm on leave and both Mum and ZoZo was better le, so I decided to take a quick shower and go Nail Bliss do my pedi and manicure. Aiya...now no eneryg to do it myself lah, get ppl do it faster and neater mah...kekeke....then also took the opportunity to go for my haircut. If not wait til weekends, I lagi no time.

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-11T21:20:00.004+08:00

This is my 2nd year celebrating this day....but today and this year is not a good one....

Mum hasn't been feeling well again for the past few days. Yesterday she was so weak till she need Dr Tan to come in for house visit, but he wasn't free to come by. Diana brought her to see him instead. We didn't plan to go anywhere since Mum's not feeling too good.

ZoZo was as sticky to Mum. No choice lah, if he hears her voice (coughing) and not seeing her or let her carry, he will cry. So mum cuddled him for awhile in the evening and at night when she was better, she fed him milk and patted him to bed together with me.

At 6+am this morning, when I touched ZoZo's forehead, it was hot. Took his temperature was 38.1 degrees. After feeding him with milk I quickly gave him his paracetamol. When he woke up at 9+am, his temperature went down alittle. After he passed motioned we quickly go bathe him to bring down his temperature. He was very grouchy. After feeding him I patted him and let him take a short nap.

When he woke up, he was still ok. So we prepared to go collect Dar's car (send to repray the door) Before we left, his temperature was at 38.9. While I was preparing to give him Bifen, mum suddenly shouted for us.....ZoZo had his 2nd febrile fits attack at about 215pm. Still as panick and frightened, but we quickly place him on his side. His saliva was oozing out from his mouth, his eyes rolled up again, face turned pale, lips turned blackish.....we kept calling out his name to keep him awake. Used ice water to sponge his head. He started shivering and shaking. We covered him with blanket. He was back to his senses after 1-2mins. My hands were trembling again....but fortunately we know how to handle better this time.

Really damn lucky we have yet to step out to go collect the car. If not, left with Mum, Jie and Mini, they sure panick until duno what to do. We continued to let him lay on side, when he starting whining, at least the stone in our heart dropped. Quickly I fed him with Bifen. He was shivering as he was cold but his temperature was high. He clenched his fits very tightly and still not relaxing.....quickly we massage him to loosen his muscles. Slowly he starts to get alittle tired and drowsy, so he slept. While he was sleeping we took our chance to sponge him non-stop to bring his temperature down....

When he woke up, he was kinda weak, didn't have the strength to walk on his own....haiz...when he's about to walk steadily, now he kena fever....haiz....In the evening, suddenly his temperature shot up again, his lips was kinda darken abit as well, his skin was alittle flower like patch....we quickly sponge and monitor him just in case he has another fit attack.....

Anyway to be continued in my next post, gota go look after him as he just woke up from his nap....God Bless my ZoZo....

Singapore Flyer - 26th April 08

2008-04-27T23:06:00.006+08:00

We had our JLL Family Day yesterday. Spouses and children are also entitled to free tickets to ride on the Singapore Flyer. FOC leh, of cos all go lah....

The program starts from 10am - 3pm. Since parking lots there are limited we decided to go early. Anyway by the time we reach there it was almost 1030am liao. Weather was super hot siah, my ZoZo face was burning red and he was perspiring so much until his whole head was wet.

Our first stop was to to the Greek Theatre where, goodie bags were given out and Chriss Fossick will be giving his informal speech to all who will be present. Nothing much lah, Magic show for the kids, and balloons. A professional photographer took a family shot for us. Don't when will get it leh...

weather hot leh....but no thanks..the shades are too huge!!

Lunch coupons at the Popeyes were given as well for each adult. By 1130am I was getting hungry liao, so we better go grab some Popeye chicken before the Q starts. Who knows when we went in, the Q was already super long. Fortunately we could still grab a table. By the time Shida and the rest came in, tables were all occupied liao. And I was still q-ing. ZoZo was happily eating his bread while waiting his papa and him waiting for me to get the food.

waiting patient for my food.....

Q-ed half way, saw Dar's army fren, Sunny. He walked passed our table, but they both didn't noticed. I called Dar and asked if he saw Sunny. He did not, so when he called and ask when he was there as well, then we realised his wife is actually a JLL staff too for years. Alamak, we knew each other but all this while didn't even know she was my HQ colleague. Anyway, hardly go HQ, somore so many hundreds staff, don't "c normal" wan....

Well, we took our own sweet time to eat. By the time we are done, my ZoZo fell asleep le. He was too tired as he did not have his am nap. I carried him in my arms for him to sleep. Kenneth and Shirley joined our table after they had their ride. Since ZoZo was sleeping, we just let him sleep until he's awake then we go for the ride. Sunny called and said our photos are exhibited at Greek Theatre...wow...that's fast!! It's was printed out in credit card size with JLL and Singapore Flyers logo. Quite cool.

Fortunately he had almost 1.5 hrs nap, at least he won't be so grouchy and moody. By the time he woke up, it was almost 2pm. Proceed straight for the ride. Nobody de, no Q de, just walk in straight to the capsule. Before we went in, we stood infront of some huge lightning like cameras and smiled dumbl,y, standing in a opened space room, with partitioned for different families. We'll have to hold on to the black credit card size disc for collection of our photos. Damn hi-tech hor, maybe not to some ppl lah, but i suaku mah.... Aiya....just take first lah, see nice or not loh (of cos if want muz pay wan loh)...

contented look, caused ZoZo had enuff sleep le....

see no Q de....still can snap pictures at our own sweet time

quick quick quick....snap 1 pic before we board the capsule

The whole capsule on has 6 adults and my ZoZo the only child. Lucky we have so much space for him to walk around. He was so busy walking round and round the bench until we both we as busy snapping photos for him and watching him (incase he fall, walk still not steady) until we didn't really get to enjoy much of the view. The ride was so slow until it was so motionless. Too bad the IR and F1 track still under construction, so nothing much to see lah. Just the skyscrapers, port, Sentosa, buildings, ECP, blah blah blah....all seen before liao loh.... Just to experience this Flyer ride since it's FOC.

wah...shiok siah...not so crowded in this capsule...

nice view hor....

papa..u notti!!! pull your ear!!

mummy...u looked more scared then me leh...

nice view, pretty gal, handsome boy

Took us not more then 35mins. Came down, went to view the photo we took in that "room", actually very fake wan loh, machiam the pic was taken from outside the capsule in the air. The outline can tell very unreal lah....but I still bought it....haha...well, once in a lifetime mah, since taken le, stupidly paid $15 for it loh.....

i just like to walk round and round....round and round....

i walked until tired liao...no mood to smile...

the ride is over liao?? where r we heading??

Went down to look for a place and feed ZoZo milk. While searching, a caricuture artist was providing free service. Since no just 2 person in the Q, we joined and had our pic drawn by him. I had 1 by myself, cause where DarDar brought ZoZo to (my hp was not with me). By the time they came back, he already started drawing mine. So ZoZo had 1 with his PaPa loh...

Didn't expect we will stay at the Singapore Flyers for so long. By the time ZoZo finished his milk, it was almost 4pm le. Aiyo...so hot and tiring day, somore not enough milk powder to continue to go shopping, so we just went home. Stupid carpark charges cost us $14.40!!! Wakaoz, lucky the ride and lunch was FOC, if not this trip is super expensive......

Last Weekend - Takashimaya Shopping

2008-04-27T23:05:00.002+08:00

Since I have so many Taka vouchers (gift from rachelx2, ann, kenneth, cynthia, jacelyn for ZoZo's 1st birthday). So went to shop and make use to buy ZoZo's barang loh...

Left home around 4pm, aiya must always wait till my king have enough of his pm nap den can go out de...what to do, he's the "biggest" liao mah now....

Didn't really shop much lah, zoom in to get the things I want only. Bought my Clarins foundation (1st time use liquid foundation, this is GOOD), went up to get ZoZo's daily neccessities. Detergent, diapers, etc etc.....Dar decided to put the shopping bags in the car while I feed my lil one milk.

When he came back, I went over to Triumph and look see B&P....father & son went to walk around, while waiting for me to try on, my son finished the whole container of rounded egg biscuits....haiz....finally bot wat i wanted....we went for our dinner liao....

Haha....so smart...most of you would have guessed....Mac Donald's again loh....wat else...my son's favourite mah, so confirm eat fast food de.

After dinner we went down to Cold Storage and get more diapers from Pampers. Lucky the voucher can be used at CS. Of course buy more loh....lolx...

Before we left for home, we went over to Aussino to buy bedsheets (again!) aiya I have $25 voucher mah, may as well used it before it expires in a few days time. After looking high and low to just utilise the $25, finally found a very good buy, 1 set at 70% off! Steadis right....just quickly grab and go lah...my son was tired le....

As we drove home, he fell asleep....ZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZ......

14th - 16th April - Sentosa Siloso Beach Resort

2008-04-16T22:46:00.007+08:00

3 days offsite training to Sentosa. Shucks lah....local staff no room to stay cos no budget...hmpf!!! Anyway it was a good Stepping Up - 2008 for all the AFMs. The most talk about thing from this training is we finally get to meet with all the countries AFMs/FCs. At least getting to know them we are able to work more collaboratively and sharing any information that we may not have or realised there's such info in Singapore.

Worse is daily in/out must take the stupid cab, bloody hell must pay out of my pocket first then claim back. Even though it's reimbursable but I hate that cause usually can't see the money back as it will be credited into our bank acct. But when we pay we will see the $$$ out physically from our wallet. Aiya....it's a psychology thingy lah....Then hor, first 2 nites went home oso vomit out all my food, cause firstly the journey was damn far, secondly the journey in/out to Siloso Beach Resort has so many left/right turns, lastly i kept getting the lousy cab drivers who's driving skills was terrible!!!!

Day 1 - MJI external trainers and Amazing Race

It was a fun day 1 activity done by external trainers from MJI. We have alot of activities from communication, strategic thinking, network knowledge and identifying/resolving issues. It's very much work related, but the trainers plan and train it in a way that the sessions were not dry and boring. For example the "Ding-Dong" communication role play, "Hi Harry. Yes Harry. Tell Harry", "The team thinking of how to flip the mat when everyone's feet has to be in the mat"....etc etc....all very fun lah....

Then we proceed to have lunch and prepare for our race. Waited for Shida, Jacq, Farrah and Eng Mui to come from Novena Square as today is day 1 of our Phase 5 Move. Hence, they have to be onsite to handle any defects or issuance of keys etc lah...My group was Jacq, Werdi, JM and Eric. We have to give our group a name. Since we were group #3. I suggest Treetop, and we also have to come up with a posture related to our group name. See attach pic loh...we stood and posed like a Tree loh. And gota have a motto as well. "Treetop, Always on the TOP!!" not bad right, thought of this in just 10 secs ok.... Every group has at least 2 Singaporeans, die lah, mine only me leh.... stress siah if I don't know the places.....

Treetop...always at the TOP!!!

Well, our group was the first to manage to get the task done (everyone members from the team must hold on to a string and form it into a star), but was the last solve the riddle to get the clue to our 1st pitstop. Everyone was already planning their route, but we were still struggling with the answer to the stupid riddle. "A sailor sails on Friday. Lives on an island. Leaves on Monday. But total number of days he stayed was 7. Why is it so?" Finally got the answer.....then we got our clue, ie, to Lau Pa Sat, this clue i can easily figure out lah....We have only $20 to spend, transport we can only take bus, mrt or walk. NO taxis! The more $$$ we save the more points we get.

on the bus to harbour front mrt

Last group standing.....

We were the only group who walked up to catch the bus to the terminal to catch the bus to Harbour Front. Along the way, we see no one, die lah, confirm last one to get our of Sentosa Island liao loh, confirm lose liao loh. Another thing is we cannot run. Then I realised my adidas sneakers started to crack. Walao eh...of all time....no choice lah, buy and buy but hardly wear datz y lah.....so as i walked, the rubber piece by piece kept dropping everywhere i walked...haha heng i wore long pants, if not lagi paiseh....

When we were waiting at the terminal for the Harbour Front bus, our hopes dashed, as we really did not meet a single person from other groups....well, just continue our "Amazing Race" loh and see how amazing we can be loh....When we were travelling out, the journey was so much farther if we were to walked from the other opposite direction where we first departed, no wonder we are the "last" lah.....

Just when our hopes were dashed, while we were approaching one of the bus stop, we saw some familiar faces waiting for the same bus!!! Total we had was 5 groups, and the other 3 groups were all waiting for the bus we were in!!! Hahahaha......the race has began again....the only groups we did not see was Edwins's group. Aiya don't care lah, at least all the 4 groups are on the same bus to Harbour Front.

When we reach HF, we were the first group to alight, so we just walked as fast as we can to reach our station to catch the earliest train to Outram and from there we switch to Raffles Place. Jacq was actually the better traveller. She knows the MRT route better then me....fwahahah of cos lah, I hardly take train de mah....

We quickly board the train to Outram, no one was behind us. Maybe they decided to take the bus as all our pitstop were different. When we were at LPS, we had to find the pitstop person who will give us our next task and clue. My adidas sneakers finally is going to fall apart into 2 liao, I definitely need to get a pair of slippers before I continue the race barefooted. Our 1st task, was to use the extra $5 given by the person at LPS, to buy the cheapest complete meal + drink. We bought chap chai rice and a can of coke, just nice $5. Every member of the group must each the pack of rice and drink the coke. Aiya easy lah, after the travelling and under the hot sun, we just wallop the food and drink in a matter of secs. Next task before we get the clue to the next pitstop was to do a human traffic by walking and criss-crossing each other in the hula hoop placed on the ground. Easy task again lah.....before we proceed to the next pitstop I quickly went into Cheers and get a pair of slippers....

munching our 1st task (shoestring meal)

my torn adidas sneakers....

Next pitstop another easy clue, was to Arab Street. But must find Yusoff Dam Briyani first. So we took the train from Raffles Place to Bugis and walked from there. While on the train, I called Rozi for helped and asked exactly where the briyani place was. As we walked along the street we were trying to find. Finally saw, and we saw Farrah and Peiqi's group we there eating the briyani. It's their 1st pitstop niah leh!!! Haha....it's our 2nd liao loh....still got hope to be first hor...lolx....Before we get to enjoy the briyani, we have to follow one of the guys to the Malay Museum first to find some objects and things and we have to perform some Silat moves first then we will have our next clue to the 3rd pitstop. After the performing the Silat moves we have choreograph, we finally had our next meal (again) but it's just sharing a plate of briyani. BEST siah, the briyani, the rice the curry the chicken all very nice lah. Next time must bring my family there and eat liao.

preparing for our silat performance..."hak!"..woda!!!

3rd pitstop, Chinatown. We have to find the Coolie House, Chinese Heritage, what is Xie Song Peng and Silat Po. We took a direct bus to South Bridge Road. Again I called for help...haha...called my DarDar and Darreng....they were trying to find the web for the place and what Xie Song Peng was. No one knows...die liao....fortunately we found the Chinese Heritage, and per pax has to pay $7 to go in to find the answers. Of course I go loh, to save $$$ of course only 1 go in lah. Lucky the aunty helped me find wat is Xie Song Peng, it's actually one of the hundred surnames and popular person during the olden days. Silat Po easily was the ex-Singapore name lah. I have to take the snapshot of both to proof that I have found the 2 answers. While I was up there enjoying the aircon, Jacq and JM walked back to Pagoda Street to find where the Coolie house used to be. Once found we have to take a group picture to get more points. Die they cant find.....lucky the pitstop guy directed us there and we quickly took a shot.

finally found the coolie house...but left with this signage only!

Time was running out. Hence we don't have to continue with the last task, ie to blindfold us name what "food" we are eating. The final pitstop person Danny has already started calling every pitstop guys to inform us to proceed to our final destination liao. So we have to proceed to our last pitstop, ie The Merlion. Took the train again to Raffles Place and walked to our final pitstop. Everyone of us was damn tired, hot and thirsty. But we walked as fast as we can hoping to be the first. While we were travelling up the escalator toward The Merlion, Kenneth called and said they reach liao....chey....lose liao loh.....so we were the 2nd team who got to the final pitstop. Well, as the organisers need to tabulate the scores, hence, the winners will only be announced during dinner time. Still got hope hor.....

our last pitstop at Merlion (cant see lah, we are more impt)..hee...

Peiqi and I kept our belongings in Flora and Jennifer's room. We went back to Siloso and took a shower in their room. We had our team dinner with our Singapore FM team, the Regional Directors, all the Trainees and the MJI team. Announcement for the Amazing Race winners was done by Peter Smyth. The winner was..............Treetop team!!!! Hooray...!!! It's our team!!! We are the winners as we had accumulated the most points. What the prize was $100 for the whole team to for a foot-spa. Chey!!! Anyway it was the fun we had during the race lah, not the prize though...expected JLL wont have much budget wan lah......

Had a great a meal. Everyone was super tired, I've never sweat and walked for so many hours for so many years liao....so after our dinner, we all quickly booked a cab each and went home. Farrah and me took the same cab, I dropped her off at Bedok North. Both of us felt so nauseating while in the cab. Once I got home, took my ZoZo's potty and puke all my dinner out. Yucks!!!

Day 2 - Theory Training

So much for my first day training. Interesting, fun, hot and tired. Today is just theory training. Damn dry and tiring. On what Archibus lah, Pricing and Utilisation lah, Risk Management lah, etc etc....sianz man.....the first half was so boring. Fortunately 2nd half of the day was by Shana and Eng Mui. We crowded around them in U-shape seats setting without tables. At least their sessions were more of experience sharing rather then theory. Seriouly nothing much today.

finally breaktime....super sianz...

Supatta our FC from Thailand

By 530pm, we ended the day. We all took separate cab home. Walao super jam siah. Today's cab driver was worst. Uncle just jerk and jerk and jerk. Until I told him I was vomitting soon as I have motion sickness. All he said was, "ok then don't talk so much, if not air go in".....walao, wat I was expecting was for him to drive smoothly and not tell me that!!! Went home, didnt even have dinner, but I puke all my lunch out.....Yucks Yucks Yucks!!!!

Suppose to meet Dar at Tampines Central as Dodo told us to get a gift for Terri as she has put in alot of effort in organising this training. But I was feeling to sick and definitely has to get home and puke first before I can get to anywhere. Quickly called Dar in the cab to meet me at home first. DoDo even reminded us not to get anything for him. Aiyo, of cos we will get for him as well wan loh.....actually he put in as much effort for us too. He was our photographer, he was our PaPa he was our mentor for this training.

Was getting late, as I spent my time puking at home. Quickly rush down at 8+pm. Finally decided to get books for them. No time to think liao. Was not easy to get oso hor.....was flipping through and walking here and there to see which is the best for them. Finally was almost 9+, then I manage to get them the books. All other shops were closing, wanted to get wrapper for the books, klkk all don't have a proper one. Shops starts to close liao. So Dar suggested to go Giant since there close at 12am. When we were almost reaching, I realised something was amiss, don't know why the "Giant" lights were switch off. Almost 10pm liao, was telling myself, better not be stock taking day. Parked the car, went down, saw people still going up, heng ah, it's open leh, who knows we saw the notice, "10pm close for stock taking". @#$%^&*()(*&^%$ tio beh pio oso not so jun, tmd, when we went up the security told us, close liao close liao, doing stock taking. We were trying to negotiate with him and see if we can just grab some wrappers, but too bad, that section was already closed and staff has started counting the stock. Duhz......

Forget it lah, lucky I have some wrappers at home, just that don't know if it's appropriate for the occasion or not. Boh pian liao lah, lucky I have some different designs to wrap the books up for them.....what a night.....

Day 3 - JLL Idol

All countries will have a rep to present our AFM onboarding Tool we have all prepared for this JLL Idol. Whoever got the most votes from all the countries folks who will be watching it on Live meeting will get to send their votes to DoDo and Terri. Farrah was our appointed person who will be our Singapore JLL Idol to present our plan. I'm too good to present lah, so confirm will win wan...so give others a chance lah...fwahahaha...hey hey...monthly I conduct trainings wan leh, of cos my presentation skills will be better lah. Gota be fair mah, cos most of other sites AFMs/FCs has never presented before, so if I would really be there one, confirm I stand a better chance mah hor hor hor.....kekeke....

signing for dodo and terri's gift

lollipop for my colleagues...

So as others were presenting, I was giving Farrah tips and tricks on what to say and what to do. Shana was so excited that she kept thinking our plan was the BEST and Singapore stands the highest chance to win. Stress man..... anyway.... the last person to present was Brandon from Guangzhou, he was really the most cool person. Throughout the whole day, he did not even have any notes with him to memorise his script and also he did not take down any notes from other country reps who was presenting. Naturally he presented himself most at ease and he got the most votes. So he was our JLL Idol!!!

happy ending!!!

The session ended with Peter Smyth giving us his expectations from us. Well, everyone training sure ends with expectations from our Directors and Bosses lah. Think so easy meh....just train for fun niah ah...train liao must improve ourselves wan hor....

Once the session ended, I presented the 2 gifts Terri and Dodo showing our appreciation to them for making this happened.

After these 3 days, our love for everyone in the "family" has grown trememdously. Especially PaPa DoDo, we were so touch by the video clip he has put up for us. He has truly inspired us with "The Station".......I will always be reminded by what I have learnt....

"It's not the destination that counts, its the journey we have all gone through thick and thin together..."

Rozi, Peiqi and Peggy

Back to work the next day, before Brandon and Werdi left, we all had lunch

lucky bosses came..haha we don't have to pay....

Week of 7th - 13th Apr - Phase 5 Move

2008-04-16T22:45:00.001+08:00

Since when im not busy wan....duno lag for how long den i update my post again. Aiya, guess it's excuse only lah, getting lazy liao...fwahahaha....

Well, it's true lately our team have been damn busy with work. We just completed our Phase 5 move. Short of manpower super siong. Without our super move assistance Farhana and Faraqin, work has doubled up on everyone. Lucky Rozi is our super move queen, if not sure die standing.

Fortunately, this move is not as big as the previous ones, still manageable. After 14f folks move up, the whole floor will only be left with our team and DHL team. So lonely.....and spooky....

Talking about spooky......things were happening during the move....woooooooo.....Our movers heard, our team saw, heard and encounter them....even Shahin (from Crown contractors) told some stories....well...it's over, shan't mentioned about it anymore....

They are harmless anyway. I guess they have been there for years.....so don't bother lah...Well this move was another great success story to add to our IPMP (aiya 1 of those 2xs yearly self assessment thingy, compulsory wan, no do no bonus). Not that bonus is damn good, this is part of our job scope, die die must write wan.....sickening....

First MRT ride

2008-04-05T22:18:00.001+08:00

Last nite got home late. Went out for dinner. Came back took over from Diana and play majong with Jie, DarDar and Kenny till 4am. Of cos, I'm the big winner...hiak..hiak..hiak...

ZoZo again didn't sleep until almost 12am again loh.....after we finished the game at 4am, he woke up again and was cranky loh....he just want mum to carry him. Only when she carries him then he will stop crying. I really have got no clue what to do with him. I was too tired, so I just slept. Let DarDar and Mum to gao dim him. Mum must be so tired and definitely more more more tired den we do, but her uncondition love towards ZoZo simply surpass us.

By the time we woke up, ZoZo was awake already. Mum was again looking after him since morning. If I'm not wrong, he must have slept with Mum when he was cranky at 4am. Mum already arranged for her usual weekend majong session, but today is at Aunty Elsie's new house in AMK. She didn't want to go initially as she was worried about ZoZo. Of cos, I cant let mum take care of him 24hrs lah, gota let her have some of her leisure time and relax her mind by giving her the time to go for her only favourite game. So I told her to just go ahead and we will take care of him.

I fetch mum go AMK, together with ZoZo and Mini. So that to let him go gaigai look see look see lah, since he has been so cranky lately. During the journey, at least he took almost an hour nap. When we got home, I quickly prepared to feed him porridge and bathe him as we planned to go Taka shopping.

Parked the car at Novena Square and took a the train down to Orchard Road. It's ZoZo FIRST time taking the MRT. He's always very excited and amazed when we travel up or down the escalator. In the MRT, when the door opens, he would want to get out of the train. Maybe he thought we are in the lift. When door opens must get out wan mah....so when we didn't he will start to "googoo gaga" nags and gesture us to get out.

My plan was to shop at Taka since I have so many vouchers from my buddies (gift to ZoZo for his 1st birthday). Shop awhile only, we were both hungry liao, so went to our usual foodchain...Mac Donald's again loh....(ZoZo's favourite mah) to have our lunch cum dinner. Happily he was eating his favourite loti and biscuit at Mac. Feed him milk before we wanted to continue with our shopping, but he fell asleep le. So we decided to go home. Boring hor, firstly we we are kinda tired le, secondly, Liverpools's game is at 745pm tonite, so gota rush home for DarDar's game loh.

Happy Birthday Darling ZoZo

2008-04-03T23:41:00.003+08:00

My darling ZoZo is officially 1 year old le! Both DarDar and myself took leave and plan to take him out shopping. But in the end we only went Si Ma Lu Guan Yin Temple and pray pray for him only. And went home slept the whole afternoon.

Don't why lah....ever since he came back from hospital or duno isit the chalet, he has been kinda cranky and cry more. He didn't use to such a cry baby de....now especially at nite, he doesn't even want to sleep in his yaoyao...put him in he cry and cry and struggle and struggle. His day time nap also all upside down. He doesn't sleep as much anymore, and at nite worse, doesn't even want to sleep until almost 12am.

He just want mum to carry him klkk den he sleep. Past few nites, confirm 4am+ sure wake up and cry. This cannot, that cannot, mumumumumum....but when gives him the milk he pushes it away, just cry and figet. Haiz....really duno wat to do....datz y today early morning woke up mum say bring him go pray pray. Duno isit saw "something" or not lah....so by he time we left house was about 11+am le. Went Guan Yin temple pray pray, took charm for him and the uncle advise to stamp on the back of his tee-shirt (some prayers thingy lah) so as to protect him.

After the prayers, we went to the opp hawker center and had our lunch. Mum and I had the char kway teow and DarDar had the curry noodle. Guess we were kinda hungry, hence, all food taste good. Not much mood to go anywhere lah since ZoZo hasn't been sleeping well lately.

So we before we get home, we dropped mum to go perm her hair. 3 of us went home, slept from 230pm til almost 530pm. DarDar, myself and ZoZo was exhausted le...from all the late nites. He's already such a slim baby, coupled with him not eating and sleeping well lately, he lost even more weight....haiz....

When we woke up, we quickly feed him with some porridge. Recently he has more and more pattern liao, eat halfway on his highchair, he will start to struggle to get down and play with his toys and eat at the same time. What to do, most of the time he gets what he wants. If not he will start wailing and screaming, so popo confirm chop chop sure give in the. Haiya...I have been too busy with work lately, until i oso close one eye, boh chup liao lah...But if I start to snap again, confirm he sure get it from me de loh.

Apart from going to the temple, we were advise to go pray pray the chalet area, if not at the crossroad junction also can. So mum and I actually drove to the chalet and check it out and see if we can burn some incense papers and do some small prayers there....of cos cannot loh, expected wan lah....That uncle was quite ok, but I guess the office staff were still around, so he said better not.

Well, so we went home and did the prayers at the crossroad junction loh, hopefully, if ZoZo really kena anything form "something", hope that the prayers will help to chase way whatever that has followed him home and caused him to be so cranky...

Mum was saying perhaps he "shou bu qi" the big celebration, that causes all these. Things will be ok after awhile.....haiz....anwayz...Happy Birthday To You Darling ZoZo....

ZoZo First Birthday Bash

2008-03-31T22:32:00.020+08:00

Super tired, but finally the day has arrived after 3months of prep. My darling ZoZo's 1st birthday bash! We decided to celebrate on the 29 Mar 2008, Sat at Aloha Loyang Terrace 8, Hop Tree. Booked this bungalow chalet 3 months ago, when it's open for bookings. Must jun jun 12am jiu book de, cos after 5min all fully book liao....wakaoz...so popular rite.

Fortunately we decided to check in on 28 Mar, Fri so that we have 1 day before for preparation. So to book for 28 and 29 Mar, on the 27 Dec jun jun 12am, I have to clicked on the website to make the bookings. Damn kan cheong. Heng ah..was able to secure my bookings.

28 Mar 2008, Friday

Of cos I have to take leave today as I need to check in from 3pm onwards. DarDar has a whole day budget forecast review, so cannot take leave to check in with me.

Target to leave house by 230pm with Mini so that we can go disinfect the place before the arrival of my lil precious prince. Who know's so much things to pack....machiam the whole house baby barang all packed go chalet lidat. ZoZo things alone already occupied 1 big luggage (kiasu hor...) aiya...baby barangs seriously is more then adults wan loh....we literally move his mobile cradle to the chalet, milk bottle steriliser, slow cooker for his porridge, 1 whole tin of his milk powder, 1 big pack of diapers, some of his favourite toys, CD player and few of his favourite children's songs CD, and duno how many sets of clothes lah...(cos lemon lee says to take his xie zhen pix mah, wants me to change him so that he can take more)...

In the end didn't manage to leave house to check in early. So I went Tampines central to do my last minute bank payments first, went Kiddy Palace to buy his whale float and beach ball. Finally when Diana is back from her class (new course for her biz with Tham) then we left to check in at 5pm+. Auntie Rebecca was already there waiting for us. Diana and Mini went home again to take 2nd round of our luggages and barang the food for the nite's BBQ.

Auntie Rebecca and I stayed to light the fire and prepare the goodie packs for the kids. Since we were so free, we decided to pump the float and beach ball....wakaoz.....almost fainted by the time we finish pumping the air in. The beach ball took us about 10mins and the float more then 30min, my hands was so "sour" (suan) until no words can describe.

By 7+ Patrick, Annie, Aloysious and LeLe arrived. We have reserved a room for them to stay for the 2 nites as well. Followed by Charles and his parents arrived too, as we invited them for the small BBQ session we planned. Food also havent arrived almost everyone arrived le. Finally Diana and Jie came back with the food. So we quickly started to BBQ-ing. DarDar went home to fetch Mum, ZoZo and Mini. As my prince had his nap until 7pm, wait for him to have his milk then go over to the chalet.

Was a nite of preparation for the next day big bash....Charles parents leave after the BBQ. We realised there are still some barangs didnt bring from home, and also not enuff mattress for the nite. DarDar, myself, Annie and Mini went back home to take the missing items, and I took the chance to take shower from home then go back chalet. Diana, Jie and Aunty Rebecca went to her house to take the extra mattress for the nite.

It's almost 11pm liao, we finally started to pump the ballons and start decorating the chalet. Nothing much lah, just some balloons for the whole chalet already shacked us all out....cos pumping them was not easy. Requires alot of enery wan hor, anyway I wasn't the one pumping, was Annie and Mini..hiak hiak hiak...I did the tying of ballons and climb up and down the chairs and stairs to tie and decorate the place ok...

ZoZo almost 12am still mai koon..guess he was as excited for his 1st birthday bash as well.....finally everyone was tired le....so all went to ZZZzzzzZZZZZ.....

29 Mar 2008, Sat

Woke up as early as 8am. Cos ZoZo woke up and mumumumumum....loh...he was hungry le, so we all may as well wake up to see if there's any last minute preparation to do. After breakfast, we changed him into his swimminig gear...aiyo so cute....his first time swimming lesson at Aloha Loyang!! He was enjoying so much until he didn't want to get out from the pool. He just loves the water!!! See below pics...

the next diver of the year

here comes the big whale....kakakakaka....splash!! splash!!

haha...papa i know how to float in the water leh....(gota use the float though)

haha..papa...u wana take pic or teach me swimming...

huh?!!! going back liao??? aiya...dun wan...

After the swim, DarDar and me quickly take ZoZo go shower and change into something simplet to let him have his porridge first. Not long after my super photographer arrived. He was kinda hungry so Annie prepare a butter sandwich for him (he just wanted butter and bread) to ease his hunger first. Raymond started snapping shots of ZoZo having lunch, etc etc for the whole event until late afternoon then he left for another gathering at Aljunied. Not bad liao leh, he didnt charge me a single cent for his service. THANKS RAYMOND!!!

After his porridege, we quickly go change him into his birthday suit le!! Of cos not the naked wan lah....it's the Osh Kosh Tee and ZoZo's First Levi's Jeans!!! Cute hor...haha...thick-skin!!! Of cos lah, my son leh.....Before more guests arrived, I quickly feed him with some milk first to dong longer hours....

DarDar left at 11+ to go pick my MIL, Sanjie, Jason, Jansen and Xavier. They detour over to AMK Pine Garden to collect ZoZo birthday cake as well. He came back kinda late. By the time he was back, his frenz BC and son, Edwin and family already came and left.

My first guest from the list was Linda Tan and her 2 kids, Grace and Gabriel and her domestic helper. Guest arrived le, again food also hvnt arrived! Anyway heng was Linda niah...heehee...her 2 kids were happily playing with Aloysius and LeLe. Finally my food arrived le. Briyani by the time they set up was almost 1pm, Kim's Kitchen was almost 1.15pm. The food looks yummy......

Gradually the guests started coming around 1pm onwards....started busy entertaining the guests here and there, receiving the gifts, busy tucking in the ang pao into my pocket, was afraid I may left it somewhere or even drop it. So as and when I will go put into my red lucky zipper bag. As time goes by, when more guests arrived, I luanz le, duno who to entertain. Here tok tok abit, there tok tok abit, machiam mama san lidat, didnt even have time to have our lunch.

We were both so busy entertaining frenz. I only had abit of the chinese food. The briyani I didnt even have the chance to taste it. But everyone had good feedback on both the caterers' food was GOOD!!! Yeah...!!! 3pm came, we started to prepare to the cake cutting ceremony. Tried to gather everyone together. The cake was so beautiful and fits the invitation theme. DarDar is fanatic Liverpool fan, most of his bros and nieces, 1 of them is Weiling, are all supporters of Liverpool, Shixian idea of the invitation even had the Liverpool THANKS SHIXIAN!!!, and my son's name, has is also link to the team, of cos my cake has a Liverpool logo on it lah!!!

ZoZo was super cranky. Since morning until the whole afternoon, he didn't even take a nap. He was so excited seeing so many people until he has no mood to take his pm nap. So when we wanted to cut the cake, he started figeting and getting alittle frustrated, then I realised we have yet to feed him!!! His feeding time has long over...!!! No wonder lah, tired and hungry makes a angry baby loh....so no choice gota have half time also. Heng ah, Weiling and Shixian came in time for the cake cutting. Weiling even designed a very very very nice big picture frame of ZoZo from birth till now. THANKS LING!!! After taking several pics, quickly take a 10-15mins break for him to drink his milk first....fwahahaha.....lidat oso can hor...boh pian lah...he's the biggest liao for the day, of cos everyone has to give in to him loh....

After his milk finally he was kinda subtle already. But again when we wanted to blow the candles after the birthday song, he wanted to use his hand and grab the fire instead of blowing it siah...wakaoz perform stunts leh my boy...so young wana perform liao....haiz....LOLx....we just did a quick one lah, blew the candle and quickly pass him over to mum to hoax him to sleep.

The chaos starts again, busy cutting and apportioning the cake, making sure at least everyone has a chance to have a piece. My duty was just to cut the cake, dun ask me go around serving them, I will faint. Annie, Diana and DarDar was helping me to serve the guest. Another good feedback on the cake now. GOOD!!! The cake taste GOOD!!! Lucky in the end selected this place, price is economic and quality is good. Design is good as well. So mai hiam liao loh....lucky never spend a bomb on the The Patissier. Well, yi fen qian, yi fen huo, but to me Pine Gardens quality is really good enuff le.

Guests come and go all the way until almost 8pm. Left with only DarDar's family members. My food all clear leh....no bad hor...at least no leftovers to tapao and eat until next day.....i didnt even have the appetite to eat dinner....was too tired and the weather was too hot le. Sunny day better then rainy day lah....Well since the buffet food was all cleared, but was not enough for ourselves and DarDar's family. So we took out the nite before BBQ food and Mum, Jie and Diana went Tampines to get more food back to BBQ.

It was a super tiring day, had a long long day...I didn't even have much chance to take pic with my darling ZoZo. Raymond set up a backdrop using the room curtains to take lotsa pics for him. ZoZo starts to get cranky le. He doesnt want to sleep the yaolan and also doesn't want to sleep. Until 12+am mum ask me to takeover her majong while she make baby sleep. Haiz...only when he smell the popo bawu den he sleep....bth him.....

THANK YOU to all my guests, frenz, buddies, best frenz, close frenz, relatives, etc etc....for your presence and presents. It's your presence that made the party/bash happened. Hope you all enjoyed the party, food and the time together. Sorry for not being able to entertain or if we have missed out noticing your presence, we would like to apologise.

Catching Up my Lost Time

2008-03-27T10:29:00.002+08:00

It has been a damn long week. Meetings after meetings. Meet until I don't even have time to update ZoZo's condition. Was flooded with email but just gota clear and clear...so much shit to clean up as well... #$%^&*(.....was so tight up with work until no time to order his cake, food, etc etc for the upcoming bash...

21 Mar 2008 - Good Friday, Happy Easter!!!
Fortunately it's a PH, has sometime to catch up for my beatuy sleep and errands for the party. Or bak kak liao leh....still dun sleep....really more and more like panda liao....ZoZo's rashes all breakout on his body and his little tiny face. All red red patchy patchy de....see le oso sim tia. Duno whether he will feel the itch or not. It's his FIRST time applying talcum powder. Applied the Johnson baby powder for him, hoping he won't feel so itchy and irritable loh.

He's tends to be abit more "teh" and will just whine abit if he doesn't gets what he wants. And even more attach to mum. Never mind, see you still not feeling well, spare you for this couple of weeks first, wait till you fully recover....hiak..hiak...your crazy mum may start to snap at you again le....

Anyway, the doctor has already told us that we will see more rashes the next few days, hence, don't get to alarm. Actually Nicole and Lynn has already warmed and advise me before when ZoZo was having fever. Experience mums are the BEST. They know more and get advise from them is as good as getting from the doctors. THANKS BUDDY!!!

Well, since everyone is at home helping to look after ZoZo, DarDar and me quickly take the opportunity to go run errands. Finally we, or rather me has made the decision to order the cake from Pine Garden. Aiya...not much time to go ponder for wat Patissier liao lah...since PG's cakes quality are GOOD. Just love the design!!! It's blends in well with the so call theme lah...shan't disclose too much here...until the day I update the next post and see ba...

After ordering the cake, since Botak Jones has a stall round the corner, we went over to try the Fish&Chips. GOOD....the food is good, the sauce, the coleslaw, the fries, just that the fish is alittle too small and thin....if not it's perfect! Since heard so much of the Botak Jones...so much try try lah....anyway this stall don't have to wait for 45mins like the one at Clementi.

We proceed to Motherhood BabyFair at Expo. Nothing much lah, walk 1 round, guess it's better for moms 2B. Not for me though. Last year's one was more interesting to me as I was a mom 2B mah...lol..anyway nothing much will also spend $$$...haiya....subcribe the motherhood magazine (actually becos of the freebies...ha...typical sgporean) and bought another pair of shoes for ZoZo...haha....it's from Combi not bad lah the quality that why buy again loh. Called Mini to give us ZoZo's feet measurement, she told us 11.5cm. So we bot the 12.5 size shoes. Who know's when reach home let him try, must squeeze in then fit....den i measure his feet again....walao it's almost 12.5cm leh....duno how dat kakak measure wan..so we drove back to expo and change it to 13.5 wan loh....

Before we get home again, I was thinking of going to Tampines St21 there and get some goodies for the kids goodie bag (since will drive pass) so just swing over and go get a quick browse. Bot a set of flashcards for him and 2 books with chinese characters (1 different country flag, 1 fruits and vegetables) so that he can start picking up his chinese (haha...kiasu)...in the end still didn't manage to get any goodies for the kids.

When we were on our way to the car, we stopped by and listen to one of those setup stalls thingy whereby an old man was providing advise on fengshui and how to improve your luck for this year...blah blah blah.....haiz...guess we are really damn stupid and duno is it kena possess or wat lah....so we listened to him....The way he put across initially was really like not trying to make $$$ from the listening audience, but to share his knowledge and so call secrets to us so that everyone's luck will be better and even he himself we be good if he were to share.

Well, since our luck especially my DarDar's one has been damn suay so we just stayed on and listen to see how we can help improve loh. Initially he only asked to exchange a 2 dollar note for a lucky charm (another $2 has already inserted in the lucky charm). The logic is to use our own $$ to exchange for the luck for oursevles. Ok...so still not trying to earn $$$ from us rite...so we did the exchange. Then later....he said in the pouch will have 2 powerful things to improve our luck, 1 is the lucky charm, the other is actually a carved gold plated pendant of a GOD. But it's $30 each. He said until the pendant was so powerful, so most of the listening audience (including us) bought 1 each..........den after that he will chant for us for protection. Haiz.....anyway...we did everything lah....he even taught us where to place the pouch for 7 days etc, then after dat take out the charm and place in our wallets...blah blah blah....of cos we followed....(it's still hanging out there cos the 7 days still not up for us to the the charm out)...

Then he directed us to one of his Shifu diciples to enlighten us more on our luck....after the "enlightenment" he asked if we want even better luck but have to pay $198. SIAO!!!! Finally we are awake and did not adhere to what he asked for. Anyway he said was an option only ma....no obligation wan wat.....So we just continue to listen and quickly went home as it was getting late!! Well, for $60, suan le lah, just take it as a lesson learnt and seriously still hope it can help improve my DarDar's luck as well as for the family too.

When we went home, after our late dinner at almost 11pm, I took a quick shower and sat down to clear my emails. Suddenly volcano erupted between myself , DarDar an mum. Aiya over trivial matters only lah....about accompany ZoZo to bed...well...had a BIG quarrell ...this is how good the lucky charm helps the first nite....

17 Mar 2008
09:45 - 10:20pm
ZoZo kena fits. Whole family panicked. Immediately drove him to KKH A&E.

10:21 - 12:14 am

Queue, Register, Wait. Went into the Red Door area for immediate treatment. MO checked and advise about Febrile Fit. Immediately he administer him with paracetamol. While waiting for the admission procedure, we have to let him wait at observation ward as he had just suffered from a fit. He was already alert and started to get hungry but we did not bring any of his bottles. So the nurses prepared 1 for him using the hospital bottle. But he refused to drink, cause not his bottle. Ha... Den he pooed in his diaper while Alan and I was registering for his admission. Mum said was damn big packet and smelly...haha..finally some signs of relive for the us and the family.

18 Mar 2008

12:15 - 1:oo am

Settled in Ward 46, bed 10. A young nurse Janice, gave us a detailed orientation of the room and was asking questions about ZoZo's history. He was very getting more cranky and sticky to mum and whines more. While Diana send Charles and his Mum and Annie home, she also went home to pack some barang for Alan and myself and of course ZoZo's clothes and milk bottles. She also fetched Jie and Mini down to see how's he's getting on.

While waiting for his milk, 1st MO came, Dr Kenneth Wong. Wanted to check ZoZo but he was very fretful and started wailing. I was carrying him and we were trying to comfort him so that the doc can check properly.

1:01 - 2:00 am

Finally he had his milked, and mum was patting him to sleep. When he was sleeping soundly, 2nd MO came, Dr Chee. He told us he has to draw his blood to do a test. And next day will have to also take his urine and test to see if it's UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). I refused to let him draw his blood at this hour as he was already fast asleep and so tired after the incident. And already sleeping so peacefully....no way man...I told him to do it next morning. After seeing so many docs and going through so much the whole night, he's already getting fretful seeing strangers. Especially those who has a stethescope hanging on their neck. Both of us quickly go take a shower before mum they all went home.

2:01 - 3:30 am

Told Alan to take a nap first before he takeover. We were all swarmed by the whole incident. While I was patting ZoZo in his sleep, I noticed again he kept jumping abit abit every few minutes. My tears rolled down....when I looked at his tired little burning face. Recalling how he looked when he had the fit attack...my heart just ache so much....For us adults to hit such high temprature we already feel so irritable, uncomfortable and heavy head...imagine such a frail little head and body like ZoZo had to experience that as well....again it pains my heart....

3:31 till next morning

Alan woke up and noticed me crying, he told me to go rest and sleep while he takeover. Reluctantly, I had to...as I'm really feeling weak. We can't afford to fall sick now as we have to take care of ZoZo.

Every hour the nurses will come in and take his temperature. He was doing very well, his fever sbusisded the whole night. He was around 36-37 degrees.

7:00 - 9:30 am

Then I heard 40.1 degrees. I jumped up from my sleep. Told the nurse to check the other ear, was the same....shucks!!! Y so high suddenly??!! OHMIGAWD.....was so frightened he suffer from another fit attack. Fortunately it did not happened. Gave him his milk and paracetamol and wait for the docs morning round to see him. Consultant CT Chong (an slender old lady) came with the 2 MOs (follower). Told us same thing, he will have to take urine and blood test, etc lah....

My MIL and Shi-Jie came. ZoZo was happily playing with Shi-jie, at least he is actively playing already. Mum and Diana came with more barang for us and ZoZo. A nurse came in to put a bag to ZoZo penis inorder to collect his urine for the test. Same one like what he did at Aglow when he had UTI last year.

When I was feeding ZoZo, my MIL and Shi-jie was making a move home already. When he heard "bye-bye" he pushed away his milk bottle and wanted to follow. So Alan brought him down together and send them off to the shuttle bus waiting area. While waiting for the docs to take his blood, my new boss replied my sms. She was very understanding and told me to take as much time as I need and not to think about work and going back to office as ZoZo needs me more now. After reading her sms, just felt so comforted. Even though she's still single but she knows how a parent felt and how much time we as a parent need to be away from work for our child. NOT every bosses are as understanding.

Finally the nurse came and say have to bring ZoZo go into the treatment room to draw blood. I told Alan to go with him, as I cant bear to see him kena poke and cry so painfully. When they walked out, my tears rolled down. The thought of it just pains my heart again. Kenneth, Rozi, Ann and Rachel came to visit ZoZo. After awhile, Alan carried him back with the plaster on his little hands already. Heng... not as bad as what I've expected. Of course cried lah, but he was ok after walking out from the treatment room.

Jason's mother came as well. Shortly Jie came oso after settling her work in office. Late in the afternoon finally his urine and blood test report is out. Another lady doc came and provide advise to us. She has confirmed that his urine is clear. Lucky siah...no UTI. Just that his white blood cells count are low, so his kind of fever is Viral Fever. Only need to administer paracetamol for such fever will do. Usually will last 5-7 days and the temperature will goes up and down like a roller coaster. Most likely next day will be able to be discharged and go home, while they continue to monitor his situation till next day. Wow...was a happy news...at least he doesn't have any cough or running nose or even vomitting symptoms. At least prepare to go home next day if his temperature is still as low as today ie 36-37.8 degrees.

Tajie, Sanjie, Ailing and Jason came around 5pm. Sanjie told us Jason went to see Ailing's dermatologist at Toa Payoh Lor 4 and had around 9-10 jabs on his face as he has cysts or some dirty blood clot dat caused his pimples to have 1 big lump and bruised even though he didnt even press it with his fingers. Anyway the whole day ZoZo's was doing well. His temperature was quite good. Aunty Cloud came in the evening and went dinner with mum and sis before she went home.

Another long nite for us, but the thought of going home the next day just felt so relieved. ZoZo was happily playing at the nurses' station with one of the nurse until 11+. Then I told Alan to take a nap first until 2am then he take over from me. While the 2 boys (1 old 1 young) were sleeping, I was switching the channels to make myself awake. Until 1:45am, tak boleh tahan liao, I woke Alan up to switch role. Then I slept all the way....was way too tired...

19 Mar 2008

When I woke up, Alan told me ZoZo's fever went up again at aboutn 3am. Peak was 39.9. Haiz.... my fear comes again....when Dr Chee came for the morning review....piang!!! Bad news...ZoZo cannot be discharged le....cause his fever shot up high again, so they have to observe for another 24 hrs...."sob...sob".....gota pray hard that his temperature doesn't shot up again tonight. My MIL, Erjie and Emily came. Though his temperature is back to normal, but he is more cranky today and more attached to mum. Whoever touches him he will start to push them again and will whine. Mum came on her own as Diana has to settle some of her errands. Diana came with Mini in the afternoon, she bought alot of food from Pek Kio. Machiam camping in hospital lidat....

Aunty Mala and Aunty Mani came during lunch hour. When ZoZo saw Mala, he started to cry as well. Aiyo...duno y lah....guess all babies are the same when they are sick. Will definitely be more "sai-nai" loh...Rozi came with Fisa and Sakina after her checkup as her wound got infected again. Oh dear...after lunch my sleepy spell hit me again....went to take a nap until 4+. Received an sms from Lynn asking if can come visit ZoZo. Of cos can lah....happy to have visitors. When she came, then I realised she was also hospitalised last week due to food poisoning. Vomitted and many rounds of diarrhoea. Her pain was so excruciate until she can't tahan quickly ask Richard to take her to TTSH. Aiyo.....oso duno y suddenly lidat....her lil K oso kena 40 degree fever before...poor thing...

Ken came, bought ZoZo a "Get Well Soon" bear bear for ZoZo. Man are man, when they buy things, never look carefully, he actually took a pink coloured Tee bear for ZoZo...haha...it's ok lah, it's the thought that counts not the colour ya. Charles came as well after his appointment. Jason's mum came again, and all went Newton for dinner. Jason and Toni came for awhile after their dinner. Mum and sis left after 10pm. Alan duno has eaten what food, he gaut relaspe again. He was so tired as well so he slept after Ken left until around 11+pm. ZoZo is doing very well today, his temperature was very good. So good until he didnt want to sleep, carry him, patted him, stroll around, until 12+am still mai sleep....aiyo...he mai sleep i wana sleep man....his papa woke up and look after him. Duno what time played until wat time lah...i was already sleeping like a log.

20 Mar 2008

Was woken up by ZoZo's "mum..mum..mum..mum.." he was crying for his milk. His last paracetamol was 9pm last nite, whole nite no need to eat medicine. But when the nurse took his temperature at around 7am, it was 38 degress! Huh....went up again??!! The nurse quickly gave him a dose of paracetamol... Aiyo....please lah, dun just because of this gota stay 1 more nite???!! Fortunately when the Consultant Dr Chong came and annouced that he's ok to go home....WOW....fireworks started to light up in my heart!!!

Hip hip Hooray!!!! Finally can go home le!!!! Bathe him and change into clean clothes and wait for the pharmacist and the discharge advise. I told the nurse, now is 10am, from now to 1pm it's 4 hours, so the pharmacy will definitely has ample time to prepare his medication to bring home, DON'T make us wait until 2-3pm still not done with the discharge. Everything was cleared by 12:25pm...ha...we are FREE to go!!! Who know's my ZoZo is still sleeping soundly.....by the time he woke up had his milk, we left at 1:40pm..."bleah".... Paiseh, told the nurse I don't want to go after 1pm but, heee....because of ZoZo, we left late ourselves....haa....don't care lah...

Well, this incident has really send a warning to me that babies having fever is really no joke, can be damn SERIOUS. Never take fever treatment lightly when the temperature is high. Anywayz, regardless whether it's fever or not, should not take it lightly when our child has fallen sick. Don't ever try to act smart and be a doctor ourselves....never know what will happen next de...

Most Terrifiying Experience in my life

2008-03-20T15:50:00.002+08:00

Indeed the most terrifying experience to me, my husband and the entire family in our life. ZoZo had a fit in the night and was sent to KKH A&E immdiately.....

On 17th March, it was suppose to be a happy occasion as stated in my previous post, it's DarDar's birthday. Anyway, we already dun really have the mood to celebrate as ZoZo was having fever since Sunday. Well, in the afternoon, we brought him to see Dr Tan as his fever rose to 39 and above. He was prescribed with Biufen, and it did help to lower his temperature.

So we decided to quickly go run our errands for his birthday bash. Went middle road ICB building to get some party stuffs then went over to pick tajie from her office and went The Pattisier together to decide for his cake. Wakaoz....damn swee the cake designs but damn expensive too...."ho kua but may not be ho jiak"...cos the design of the cake is mainly sugar, pragmatically it's not the usual kinda cake for people to eat....Anyway, will decide again...cos really not in the mood to make decision. So we just bought 2 small slices to try. Hey, 2 small slices niah cost jie $12+ liao leh....actually I wanted to get a whole cake for DarDar as mum told me to buy one for him, but was all sold out.... :(

Mum wanted us to go Tampines Mall to get 1 from Four Leaves or Angies. But was getting late, so we decided to go nearby and just grab a cake. Jie was suggesting Tanjong Pagar has a very good cake shop too. Something like...Berraciano...cant recall the shop name lah...when we got there, no whole cakes oso....haiz...cos they are currently concentrating on the puffs and muffins as it was featured on the TV or newspaper lah...in the end went to next cake shop away to get a normal wan loh...DarDar doesn't mind, but Mum was questioning us why get such a normal cake for him woh...

Got home, ZoZo's fever still hasnt subsided. So we had a quick dinner, while ZoZo was sleeping we just did a quick cake cutting after LeLe and Aloysius sang to DarDar. No mood lah...when he's still feeling so listless and sick. Mum then told us to quickly go buy some specially packed incense paper and joss sticks to pray for him. Thot maybe he kena scat by something, because even when he's asleep, every few minutes he will get startled and jump up abit. So we quickly went to hunt for it and finally found it from one almost 1 shop at St 21.

Got home, Mum chanted some prayers for him, then went down with Mini to burn the incense paper,candle and joss sticks. I was carrying ZoZo, cuddling him, as he was very manja and irritable. Strolling up and down the aircon area....suddenly he gave a loud cry, so his Alan said he will takeover to carry him, who know's when I wanted to pass him over to his PaPa, he bent himself backwards until I almost dropped him. I thought it was he's usual self, whereby at times, when's he frustrated he will do that, but it's not. His wholebody went soft and when his Alan carried him, I noticed his eyes rolled up!!! He looked so scary.......he was almost unconsious, I quickly took the cold tower to sponge his head and neck again, and kept calling out his name. I kept saying "ZoZo....please don't do this to us, c'mon ZoZo, wake up !! wake up!!..." I told Alan, something is very wrong, we have to go the hospital immediately.

Took his BC and health book and wanted to run out already, but while Alan was carrying him in the living room waiting to go, ZoZo started to get Fits!! Alan quickly put his finger in to let him bite to prevent him from biting his tongue. When his bite was getting hard and tight, Alan started to feel the pain in his finger, I tried to open his mouth and put mine in, but Alan stopped me and told me to get a spoon. Panickly, I ran into the kitchen get a teaspoon and jack open his mouth to put it in. He's eyes was still rolled up....he was pale and green. He started clenching his fist tight, then his wholebody started trembling.....Mum came up with Mini, I shouted "Ma....have to go hosptial immediately!!"...Mum was more panicked, she almost fainted. Mum, Jie, Alan, myself were all FREAKING....

Mum was trembling, but had to call Diana to keep her informed. She said will meet us at KKH A&E direct with Charles and his mum. I drove, as Alan was carrying ZoZo. We called Annie as well, she came along. In the car, we kept calling his name, Alan kept singing to him, I switch to his favourite CD and let him listen and make sures he is awake and alert. My mind was going haywire....but I have to keep myself calm, as I have to reach KKH ASAP but SAFELY. While on our way, in the car, fortunately ZoZo started to whine and cried abit. Phew...! At least he's more alert and able to make some noise already.

Almost every babies in A&E was having fever. All has the fever patch on their forehead. Charles Mum was trying to help us shorten the queue as she was a staff nurse before in KKH. But still has to follow rules. Anyway she did help to provide advise and directed us to where we should go. Diana volunteered to park the car for me and let me go do the registration. But she was so panicked until she has forgotten how to control the car. No time and not in the right frame of mind to laugh at her, but deep down I was seriously laughing. And from this incident, can really show how much we love ZoZo until everyone was lost. I'm proud that I'm still quite composed, even though my knees and limb was as soft as tofu.

The MO checked and asked us to relate the whole incident...blahblahblah..... anyway he advised that it was a Febrile Fit. It's a very very common thingy to babies from 6months to 6 years old who's fever that hit higher then 39.5. As long as the fit doesnt prolong more then 20minutes, it will NOT affect their brain and development. He told us once ZoZo had this fit, there will be a 30% reccurence if he has high fever again. He also warned us, NOT to put any objects into his mouth. Even our fingers, as it will cause unnecessary injury to him and to ourselves. Gota place him on his side and make sure it's on a flat surface to prevent choking of any foreign material or secretions. Anway, it was our first time, panick and freaking out wat....of course we will try to do anything to prevent him from biting his tongue or even hurting his own lips.

As ZoZo is still below 1.5 years, the MO said he has to be admitted in order to observe him further to see the cause of the fever and prevent any reccurence of fit incase the temperature shot up again. Was a long scary and tiring experience.....

Fever

2008-03-16T20:56:00.005+08:00

My darling ZoZo so called kena fever first time out of the blue. The last time he had fever was after his hep B vaccine somewhere 6 months ago... haiz...didnt take him to the doc as I still have the paracetamol Aglow prescribed as it's still not expired. Just gave him 3 doses the whole Sunday and monitor him. His temperature was just like roller coaster up and down, highest was at 38.3.

Poor thing....he was so listless during the evening....when put him into his cradle, he fell asleep very quickly but every few minutes he will start to jump up abit, machiam having nitemare, so after a few times, he started crying and wanted me to carry and cradle him....of cos i did. While feeding him with milk he actually dozed off in my arms....aiyo..when i looked at his little burning red face, just made me felt so guilty on wat i did to him....

Yesterday he was cranky. Dinner time, started his nonsense after the 1st round of porridge feeding, started to figet and wanted to get down from his high chair and play. Then I realised, mum has been letting him sit on the floor and play with his toys when he starts to figet... aiyo...like dat how can??? I don't advocate such habits loh. Cos to me once you set a precedence, allowing him to have his way, then die liao....difficult to U-turn le...

So when ZoZo started to wail and scream..(oh ya..bdw, nowadays his tactic is to scream to get what he wants...faint!) as usual while he's PoPo was playing her majong, she kept asking me to carry him...i simply ignored. My temperature started to rise....i shouted at him and almost wanted to give a 1 tight slapped (violent hor...but i wont slapped lah, just said niah but will wack other part of his body). So his papa came to his rescue, initially i was very firm in telling him NOT TO CARRY HIM, but the PoPo was raising her voice said "if my grandson kena fits, then U KNOW!!! u better "pay" me back my grandson!!!"

Naturally his papa carried him away loh, I was &^%$# damn pissed until i raised my voice at my mum too, saying that..."that's not the way to teach him!!! you are simply spoiling him!!" after that, i just look at ZoZo and shouted at him "give u 1 tight slapped then you KNOW!!" Anyway his papa carry him walked around then he tried to feed him while he was playing his toy on the floor, he oso doesn't want wat....see lah...seeing dat again pissed me off again loh...then I shouted for them to come into the kitchen and eat!

While his papa carry him and sat on his lap, eventually he started eating....until left abit niah lah...not bad le, cos the portion was quite alot...so finally my temperature went down... heehee...aiya duno lah, whenever he doesn't finish his milk or porridge i will start to get "mang zhang" (frustrated)... i abit "gou zhuo" (gao jey) wan lah....abit abit cannot de, I must have it my WAY....haha...i have to conquer and let them follow my rules instead...LOLx...(mad hor)

Anywayz, things was ok until later in the night, ZoZo was already half asleep when i patted him in his cradle, who knows, suddenly he started kicking and figeting again, and didnt want to sleep...haiya...dis time round my temperature was really high....i started wacking him left and right his buttocks and thighs....his papa walked in and rescue him again loh....den i snapped at his papa oso..blabbering nonsense, he also yakked back lah...."basket!", i was so damn pissed again until i shut my laptop, and went to bed without bothering ZoZo. Just left him in his papa hands, since he's always the rescuer and angel, let him be loh....let him go have a good taste of how his son's behaviour....i simply boh chup! JUST SLEEP....ZZZZzzzZZZZ.....

When I woke up this morning, I realised my son was not sleeping in our room!!! Haiz....his papa escaped again loh...dun have to pat him to sleep, dun hv to kena his nonsense...it was actually Mini who put him on popo's bed and patted him until he sleep...his papa only knows how to sit at that corner and stare at his laptop to monitor his soccer pattern....!!! Well, can't be bothered lah, I gave up on him, can't be bothered to waste my energy on him anymore.....

While I wanted to go brush my teeth, mum was saying dat ZoZo seems abit feverish, so took his temperature... indeed, mentioned as above he was having fever loh.....duno was it because yday went polyclinic for his review on the ear then kena virus from there de....haiz...first time i brought him to polyclinic niah come back sick liao...hopefully it's not loh...

cos last month mum and diana brought him there (polyclinic at pasir ris) to go for his development assessment. actually i was the one suggested, cos cheap mah...do DA no need to go all the way to Aglow ba...so expensive...then when they were doing the earing test, he failed his right ear....diana was saying he was busy playing with the toy, hence he didn't bother to turn and listen to the buzzing sound. Was referrred to see the doc immediately loh, when screened it was actually he has alot of wax in his ears, jus like his papa..."hee sai juey juey, pi sai mah juey juey"....so doc precribe olive oil drop to drip into his ears daily....heng ah...nothing wrong with his hearing...

that's y yday we went back for the review, PASS lah of cos!!! and the wax thingy has also improved. ZoZo's weight hor....increased since last month!!! Yeah!! but hor....haha...was only 100g...from 8.6kg to 8.7kg....but he is really growing damn tall loh....last month's measurement was 76cm...yday he grew another 3cm...now 79cm le...he's really the next "gou lo chuen"....hiak..hiak...hiak....since the 15mths MMR is free if administer in polyclinic so i just fixed an appointment to go for it first lah..by then see how loh...whether to go back to Aglow or Polyclinic.

It's time of the year for all Chinese again....duno y only this period of time then we will start to throw away loads of rubbish, rather collect and keep 1 whole year, then 'gam guan' throw....well, this is part of our rituals or rather tradition, new year new things so watever is old muz throw away loh, but of cos not throw away our old folks at home lah...fwahahaha...they are our treasure at home ok...without them without us, so we at any point in our life, we must not abandon them.

It's my PaPa's practice to hang and paste alot of CNY decors at home, then it at least we will feel the atmosphere. But ever since he has joined the Paradise Club as a permanent member, Jie has taken over his role of buying all the CNY decors. But it's put up by Mini lah....

nice?? it's year of the rat

gong xi gong xi....

As we grow up as an adult, this festive season no longer excites us already, when we were young we love to go visiting, especially collecting ang baos, eating all the goodies everywhere, and it's only time have such sumptous meal on the table. And finally all family members will get together and celebrate. Now sianz lah....mus bao ang bao...kekeke....well.....heng heng for kids ya...

new year goodies, mostly homebaked by Jie

BUT at least, this year I get to collect also!!!! Hee..hee....cos of my ZoZo's presence lah....at least wont lugi...fwahahahah....Early morning we brought him to airport, Mum and Diana went too... why leh...to send our bon-voyage wishes to his Mah-Mah, Er-guma, Weiling JieJie and Shuqin JieJie. As they are flying off to Taiwan for holiday!!! Wah...enjoy hor.... Most importantly it's 初一 so we must go 拜年 to my MIL. ZoZo loves to go airport, he enjoy's seeing the lights and the seeing so many people. As usual Weiling JieJie took alot of pics for him...muz wait til she's back then can get some from her to repost for viewing again.

so we are here to send mah-mah, er-guma and jiejies off to taiwan....

After sending them off, we went BK for breakfast. Wow...ZoZo's favourite meal....loti time!!! He ate almost 1/3 of my croissant leh....cos it's soft and yummy...once i put some in his mouth he will flap and flap his hands happily....Diana let him tried abit of my Milo too...aiyo...too sweet for him lah duh....I have been very strict with his diet, that's y he's so skinny...kekeke....nvm lah, most importantly he's healthy ya. Anyway, whether I'm strict with his diet or not, he's oso not wan of the "tam jiak" baby leh....Diana's colleague's baby simi "sai" mah jiak....so easy, mine ah....haiz...see milk only he sianz liao, he wont feel as excited as some babies de. I rather he's not fussy with his food lah...but wat to do....that's his character. But he loves, the rice rusk, and gerbers banana or apple and strawberry stars. That's the only snacks I allow him to take.

We went straight to PaPa's niche from airport, we have to 拜年with my dearest PaPa too. Well, it has been almost 7 years without him in our life. We still miss you alot Pa....

ZoZo was so tired, until he feel asleep in the car as he did not take his morning nap. By the time we got home it's almost 1pm le. He just took 5mins power nap, and he was recharged le. Cos when we got home, YongJie, Jun's family, Aunty Cloud and Uncle Albert were all at home already. He happily welcome their presence in our house. While ZoZo was taking his afternoon nap, Jie, Na, Dar and Me played majong...yeah tis time I have 1 seat le...cos mummy look after my "cute boy"...hiak hiak hiak...aiya but I lost $12 to my husband...hmpf!! He 1 kar sup 3 kars. Before the majong session started, we lao YuSheng together with Yun-Jie. Jason's family came later in the afternoon.

lai ah!!! lao ah!!! lao de 风生水起， everybody 发发发！！！

The session ended after 1.5 "dong" cos we have to go to Er-ge's house and 拜年. Am glad he allows anyone to carry him...at least easier for me...haha...so I can take a rest mah....A very very late nite for my ZoZo. Er-ge setup the yaolan for him, but he didn't want to sleep leh...so we tong until 11+pm then go home. So he slept in the car loh...lucky when reach home, he slept all the way....

Yee Family Reunion Dinner

2008-02-06T22:25:00.000+08:00

Our family's reunion dinner is usally at home...steamboat...this steamboat boiler has been with us for the past 10 years...more then I think...During the first few years, the steamboat always fail us.....whenever we want to use on "sa-chap-meh" confirm the lights not working de, so the soup cant be boiled....then we will all panicked..haha...must touch touch the connection and sayang sayang abit then can wan loh...haha...in the end we can still enjoy our dinner lah..heng ah...this kinda electrical applicances, 1 year use once, some more used more then 10 years le, consider very good liao leh....just that everytime gives us "heart-attack" loh...

This CNY finally has our little bundle of joy joins us le...of cos he will be sitted on his babychair but eating his porridge lah, but mum said has to give him abit of our rice to eat. What does it signifies, I don't really know...something like as part of the family he has to eat what we are eating for our reunion dinner...since this is first year...and subsequent years we will all still eat together lidat ba...we did feed him some rice too when we were having the Lai Family reunion dinner, same same logic...if u know what I meant.

After dinner, Jie suggested to play majong, so as usual loh, DarDar sure chop as 1 of the kaki de, me wait long long loh....mum, jie, na and alan play loh, so I have to babysit my "cute boy" (8 floor aunty said, even though they are notti, oso cant say them "notti boy"...muz say "cute boy" woh, if not he will be lagi notti loh, boh pian so "gei-tio" whenever he's notti muz say....y u so "CUTE"...) I was abit pissed for not being able to play lah...but anyway...CNY must relak..relak...

Lai Family Reunion Dinner

2008-02-05T17:33:00.000+08:00

We had the Lai family reunion dinner at Yishun 848, initially plan was to had it at Bottle Tree but the the whole restaurant was booked for a corporate function. ZoZo's meal as usual his cookies and cereal loh wat else can he eat? Will get some pics from Weiling then I will repost here for viewing.

The food frankly was really not that yummy, sharks fin was too salty, broccoli was too bland, steam fish not as fresh, yam ring was ok, cereal prawn so-so loh, fried spring chicken slice was hmm...ok loh, white horfun with prawns, cuttlefish an vege was ok, the bobor cha-cha was....

actually when comes to food, i'm really the gourmet, but i'm not the fussy type. whether the food is good or not, i can tell le...fwahahah...so arrogant hor...aiya partly because my Dad is a superb chef, and now my Mum and eldest Sis their cooking skills were trained by him, hence, the food we eat since young, is ICHIBAN!!!!

Anyway, better not let Shi-ge know about my comments about the food..fwahaha....if i'm not wrong he's the one who suggested the venue, Wu-ge already reminded us that nite not to comment anything about the food...ssshhhsss...hee....anyway the quality of the food is not that important. Most importantly we managed to gather everyone and enjoy the reunion dinner together...the family bond is the objective ya.

Fortunately ZoZo let's anyone who wants to carry him, just that if wana tease him to smile of laugh ya...damn difficult de. He damn act cool wan loh....he will only laugh when he see's his PoPo, PaPa, Da-yi aka Ah Nong, Er-yi, Annie Yi-Yi or KaKak Mini. Only if you make damn farnie faces or play rough with him then he will react to you de. Got "class" wan loh my darling, not anyhow entertain you wan hor...

After the dinner, we went to Da-guma's house to celebrate her birthday. Wow...we so so damn noisy, well but that's the fun of it! Who's care about whether we are disturbing the neighbours or not, it's not past 12am yet ok...

Had shower for ZoZo at Da-guma's house, he favourite moment...he will jump and jump and laugh and laugh...very cute de...kekeke....den hor, me this absent-minded, careless, gong-gong mummy forgot to bring his small milk bottle and the yellow spoonback....left it at the coffee-shop...haiz...wanted DarDar to go check, but Shi-ge was saying usually they will not notice de, they will just clear the whole table and dump it wan loh....Dunch care lah, if nex day DarDar is going back to Yishun, will get him to double check with them lah, never know mah hor, they may keep wat..

Foreign Language

2008-01-31T13:59:00.000+08:00

Bought 2 kinds of children's songs for my darling...english and chinese. He was enjoying the english version very much. Whenever he hears them he will start to dance, clap and shake it all about...but...when my mum switch to the chinese version ones....aiyo....ZoZo's facial expression changed....he stared into the air blankly...haha...he will just give u the blur sotong look....better to start him off early for this language before he finds it difficult to pick up.

Yesterday morning, while we were preparing to go to work, Diana was carrying him into our room, then all of us heard...."wo yao qu gai gai" (i want to go shop shop)....haha...machiam machiam rite?.....sounds like only lah, not dat he knows how to speak proper phrases....when all his "gugugaga" language mix and match together, it may happened to sound like he's speaking fluently....

wait loh hor....not so soon yet ya....

Past week, has already started buying new year clothes...but not for me loh hor...it's for our darling boy...Annie bought 2 suits for him as well...You know what, my boy's feet is so long until I have to get 20-24 months old socks from Baby Fox then fit him leh....duh...his "dragon boat" feet is exactly like his papa loh....next time will have difficulty to get the right size shoes for him man....

The week of 14th Jan 08

Aiyo...ZoZo starts his "diet" plan again, he just has the least interested in his milk, even porridge...he hasn't been eating as much as before. Usually he can finish up to about 7 scoops (the size of the porcelain chinese soup spoon)..but recently because of his "diet" plan he has reduced it to around 2-3 scoops only. So we try to feed him more frequently but lesser amount. Evenings will have his mash potato or cereal loh...

Giving him milk is really requires lotsa patience and technique, but what to do just hope he will consume as much as he can. Well, his gums starts to swell again, so I guess this has again affected his appetite...

19th Jan 08 - Sunday

Went to aunty sally's house (da-guma) as my MIL said she has taken few days MC because of some back strain, so brought ZoZo to visit her. Well, my this little rascal, was enjoying himself...y leh...caused da-guma gave him eat cake loh...wah...happily eat and eat and eat....cause his mummy ie. me did not give him restrictions dat day. Aiya, wat can I say, just try to give him more water loh, cause by right babies below 1 year old cannot have any sugar in their diet. It's not good for their health...well...once a while, aiya..close 1 eye loh...

Afterwhich we went san-guma's house again, and went to AMK Ave 5 there HongKong Street place for dinner. ZoZo sat in san-tiong's car without us with him...hee..hee... still quite ok lah, but he was beginning to yak yak yak abit when we were about to reach the dinner venue. Still not too bad lah hor....fortunately he doesn't mind strangers or relatives whom he hardly see carry him, but not too long lah....he will just stare at the person loh....kekeke...

21st Jan 08 - Monday

Had our family dinner at Metropole Herbal Restaurant @ Clarke quay. So call an early celebration for mum's birthday, in the meantime enjoy the 50% promotion off the popular dishes, especially the "Fo Tiao Qiang".....yummy.....

Brought LeLe along with us, everyone had a great meal, Charles was there too, my ZoZo enjoyed the most, as he was munching his rice rusk all the way until our dinner ended. Aiya, no choice lah to stop him from "tititatapapapapamamama...mum..mumm..muummm" at the restaurant, the best alternative is the put food into his mouth...anyway it's his favourite mah...just that he doesn't drink lots of water, this worries me most...

halo...y am i waiting?? where's my food?

aiyo...y take until my face so rounded? i'm very slim wan hor...

halo...halo...not this angle again lah...

wassup??!! i'm mafia alonzo...u've got a problem?

then zozo starts to drink less and less milk le, nowadays feed him milk muz have someone to sing to him, muz act "xiao chou" to him, he loves the toolbench jacelyn phua bot for him, so whenever he pushes the milk bottle away, we will take the music toolbench and let him listen to the music den he will continue to drink loh...aiya wat to do, most importantly he drinks milk mah cos his weight is not increasing alot lately loh, but just growing longer and longer....

Especially your popo, ie. your pillar of strength (kao-san) loves you with all her almighty heart. dun care hw many kao-san you have, your impatient mummy will still yell, scold and smack your butt butt when you misbehave. But my love to you will still remain unfazed. Not to mention your daddy of cos the more patient him has yet to scold you when you were naughty but dat doesn't mean you can be a spoilt brat ya.

Happy 2008!!! Wish everyone find peace, love, health and wealth with this new year ahead!!! GooD LuCK!!!
