2 wks old

After 3 months..

2008-12-28T00:12:00.004+08:00

Baby Zachariah is 3 months old after passing the fourth trimester of adjusting to the world ..phew!! been waiting for this day to come which means sleep for me is coming back again haha..

First 2 months having a real hard time to adjust..not mentioning super deprived of sleep but the challenges Luke gave me after his baby bro is borned. Zach is a happy baby, he smiles alot even when he wakes up n dun see anyone ard he just quietly stare n look at things ard him (hah, very unlike Luke which is the extreme opposite when he cant see me he goes crying or screaming frantically for MUMMY!!).

Zach weighs bout 7kg now very fat! The bigger size clothes 3-6 months is tight fitting on him. Ppl always ask wad brand of formula I feed him n when I reply I breastfeed, n i will get replies like " u so skinny n u can breastfeed ur baby till so fat" haha i guess the mother's size doesnt matter its the nutrition bb gets...breastfeeding is cool!! Regretted din do properly for Luke back then...Zach has also started to drool (Luke didnt when he's a baby then) due to teething. Nowadays he sucks his fingers so hard till they like kinda bruise but he still doesnt have the strength to hold a proper teething toy yet unless i help him to hold n he could chew on to it freely..

Taking care after Zach really reminds me lotsa memories when Luke's a baby, babies are really cute with their expressions, coos n smiles..but well they grow really fast. Look at Luke he's going to K1 next Friday already :( sometimes I wished I have 2 babies now...haha one is already enuff to make me busy..but they r really really cute plus can shop for cute clothings n toys all the tiny stuffs..

6 days to go..countdown to my zero freedom =X

2008-09-14T23:36:00.002+08:00

Brought Luke to the playground yesterday's evening to 'play' lantern with candles. But he seems more interested in playing catching with daddy. I remember when I was younger, I like to 'play' lantern alot i think not the holding lantern part but the candles n fire especially those paper lantern when can burn everything up at the end of the 'play'..haha. Well, Luke got to know a new fren who is staying same blk as us, he is 5 yrs old..small size but very talkative n they play well together...catching n hide n seek.

As for today, brought him to ikea for lunch n waited for daddy to be off from work. We bought another "trofast" series cupboard in addition to Luke's current one n also another frame shelf with containers for him to keep his toys. My nesting instinct is super strong this week, I really have the urge to get everything ready n done 1-2 days before the arrival of Zach. But Im really tired now had a long day n tmr morning going the hospital for my CT scan which means I'll get to see baby Zach again. Wondering how heavy is he now...hmmm the last wk he was 2.9 kg already.

Now the last thing is waiting for the kitchen to be completely up with the cabinets n stove working n getting Zachie's stroller...Zachie is named by Luke. Cos he call himself 'ah Luke' or 'Lukie' n I dunno since when he got that idea to call didi 'Baby Zachie'.

Im counting down..a week to go..

2008-09-13T22:11:00.002+08:00

Woot! A week..I got lotsa chores to catch up with all the renovation n dust going on, unpacking n settling. Besides that, I havent wash baby's clothings n havent got his stroller yet. Come to think bout it, the previous time when I had Luke everything was done 2 months in advance before his birth. Haha..didi's everything is like last minute. He better 'guai guai' wait till 20th then come out else no clean clothes to wear also cos I havent washed them :p

Aug updates

2008-08-31T17:05:00.002+08:00

This month is really busy with all the dust, packing n decision makings n worries of course. Nevertheless, excitements n anticipations too. Its quite amazing after 2 days collection of house key n we shifted on the 3rd day including getting the lights up n heater installed. Luke has been complaining n nagging since he had to follow us all about to get the neccessary stuffs with all the travelling n bla bla...I hope to settle fast with the kitchen up n cupboards so I can start nesting...

Now as for zach, had my last checkup on Wed, he is weighing about 2.7kg in my tummy now. Drawing near to Sept then the 20th, the birth of him. I could no longer walk long distances now nor carry heavy stuffs there will be a pressure on my tummy. I feel my whole tummy is so tight till sometimes when I just have a meal I feel super bloated. That feeling is often worsen when he is awake n kicks me. He moves alot just like Luke n is responsive when Luke talks to him. Saw his face during the last 2 scans he has chubby cheeks n the last scan he was sucking his fingers. That's something new becos I havent seen Luke doing that in my tummy before!

The work continues...have to take all of baby's clothings n wash, fold n prepare for his arrival...alot of unpacking to do n rearranging of stuffs at home. Thank you GOD for everything, U made things possible for all of us within such a short period of time!

2008-08-04T16:49:00.002+08:00

Luke is having his noon nap n I just happened to browse tru past photos. Looking at them I realise Luke has grown so much taller his face n hair style changes as he grows. Cant help but to start missing those 'little' days of him. Looking after him made us smile, laugh, worried n also vommit blood. He hasnt been in good health since 1 yr plus cos of asthma, but recently last checkup visit to his doc, he was discharged from those regular medi. So I guess the fussiness, cleanliness n hardwork was paid off..kinda reward for me.

These days at home time seems to be crawling, the things I could do becomes limited due to stomach. Was msn`ing with Clare yesterday as she was saying, when baby in ur tummy u wish him to be out soon, but the moment they come out liao u really hope they're back in ur tummy again. Haha but dat's quite true especially at times when u get so busy n u gonna pull ur hair.

August..guess its gonna be a busy busy month for us all. It also happen to be our anniversary knowing each other hmmm.. 13 or 14 this yr? I always count wrongly. Sometimes I wish time could turn back n I could slowly plan everything haha but isnt that everyone wished for too. I havent regret marrying young nor having Luke despite all the downs n ups...

updates..updates...

2008-07-22T16:55:00.002+08:00

Quite happening this month, first it started with the sudden last min genting trip. Then lots of tea sessions with mummy n Ktvs including a gathering with pri sch frens. Perhaps some part of me knowing my freedom is coming to a short end hence keep looking out for activities now while i still have da energy. And yes, Im into da 3rd trimester, 7 months now..haha wad Im looking forward to but also kinda weary...

Luke enjoys rotting on the bed recently he could have his meals there n play his psp the whole noon like nobody's business but i keep reminding him these kind of days is shortlived becos he's going to start his education next yr n from then on is sch sch sch...he got bored of board games too after he mastered n got his japanese chess set that interest sort of died down abit n its a relief to me else he'll keep askin me to play when's there isnt anyone else available n i'll just get thrashed by that 'i dunno how to read pieces' chess game. One thing he'll nv fail to impress me since birth, that small brain of his is full of good memory cells.

Next is little Zach, the one in my tummy. We decided to name him Zachariah, Ryu Yao since Luke is Ryu Hao n Luke is Luke so we call him Zach for short. He's 7 months now n growing, but everyone who seen me all say Im skinny n tummy is small, I rem when i have Luke is quite similar also im still small in size only tummy abit bigger but Luke borned out quite heavy for my petite size..he's bout 3.3 kg. I hope Zach will follow kor kor else be heavier abit..else i'll feel guilty haha. Becos I koe i have been neglecting my vits n rest until recently. He's gonna be borned end sept..that's less than 2 months already. How time passes huh!

endless story

2008-06-02T00:53:00.003+08:00

It's nearly 1am, as usual Luke n Colin's asleep. Feel so lonely dunno wanna do wad also, xiumei happened to msn me n we chatted abit n that stupid kaya sent me a song its quite nice but its making me kinda depressed cos of the tune n my tears started to roll when I read an email about LOVE something like the couple together quite long since young but saying ILOVEU is like a very shy thing to do even when they had kids n old then till one day they got bout 80 n one of them said to the other, the other felt really touched.
Sometimes I wonder y the ppl u love or closer to u, u dun treat them as much respect as u do to others. Isit becos u r too familiar with them or wad..I guess this happens to us in either role.

Been having weird n weirder dreams these nights, read bout it as part of pregnancy. Dun like it esp. sad n unhappy ones, they just trigger some unhappy memories. I wanna forget them all, if I can have a special eraser I wanna rub them all away. I dun wanna get reminded again n again or being emotional when I see some love stories or music...sometimes I really wish Im not born that sensitive n strong enough to be cold, cold to ppl whom treated me badly whom hurt me deeply but I just cant..can u understand wad im trying to say? I myself dunno how to cope also..

my ah luke ahhhhhh......

2008-05-28T23:40:00.003+08:00

Was in the bus on the way home from ikea, Luke suddenly pointed at the temple n said "China China" it made me couldnt stop laughing. Then Colin tell him its call a temple not China. So cute dunno how did he associate that although usually temple comes from China. This reminds me of another incident..when he was bout 3 yrs old, whenever we pass a church or see a cross, he would go "GOD so love the world" he call church that..then we told him its call a church and a cross. Saw some baby pics of Luke at Colin's facebook album, Luke has really grown alot n I miss all his baby moves n language.

Every day including us, we are constantly growing n getting old in years. Sometimes I wonder how much memories will be left in my head when im really really old. .

Just once..

2008-05-26T02:11:00.002+08:00

I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay Or head on out the door
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to itI know we could break through it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going
And seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why the goodtimes never last for very long
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we got going

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
Just once I want to understandWhy it always come back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
That we're no good with out the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we can break through it
If we could just get to it
Just once
If we could get to it

Toys n more toys ..

2008-05-26T01:36:00.002+08:00

Went Vivo again this evening to get the phone hope every effort is made worthwhile. Giving things to others is a joy not necessarily receiving only, I dun mind getting more things to give ppl if Im loaded.

Updates on Luke, he's been in a habit of getting a 'toy' home whenever he's out for shopping with us. Recently he bought a whole lot of board games n today we went toys r us n look around at the board games section n realise he almost have them all already as tho they're some kind of his hobby collection. He bought a game name 'zingo' it's quite educational, it plays like 'bingo' but using pictures n words instead. He told me his fav. game is chess altho he still dunno how to use tactics to counter his opponents but im really glad he's able to place the different pieces on the chess board correctly n understand the objective of the game already.

Two days ago, went mustafa with mummy. As usual Luke is there to hunt for toys n mummy is there to stock vitamins. The interesting thing is the adult vitamin are placed at adult's height level and the lower shelves are the children vitamins. Luke got so bored waiting for mummy to pay up n he too shopped for his vitamins haha he choose two bottles n asked mummy between the two which is better for him. Mom gave her suggestion n he reluctantly put the other more 'attractive' bottle back. He made me laughed, he's like a small adult shopping for his own vits imitating the adults. I think an adult's behaviour to a child is very impt, they will learn n imitate all the good n bad.

As for myself, tummy growing bigger n bigger each day going into the 6th month already. Imagining within 3 months more baby will be in my arms.

Well Colin n Luke are sound asleep right now, am gonna join them soon..sometimes I think back, its not a bad thing that some bad things or unexpected things happened to u. It is just to prepare u for ur future, u'll start to cherish or change for the better which u'll never tot u'll be. Wadever as long Love is between, everything will bloom automatically.

Another spending day..

2008-05-19T00:24:00.005+08:00

This morning was kinda screwed up...didnt have a good meal for the whole day. Went to John Little sales with pearl in the late noon n spent bout $300 for luke, baby n me stuffs. This month I have been looking n shopping for baby's clothings especially newborn sizes. Gave away Luke's last time so its also a good excuse to get new ones for baby.

Luke is horrible..this month he spent alot on buying toys but i still cant figure out y daddy bought him the Ryukendo figurines today they cost bout $100 altogether but i didnt wanna ask further either. Seeing that happy face of Luke makes me happy too :)

Been having blues lately again, nobody trigger it but could be worsen if some idiot would say or do something to piss me. I dislike that bluey feeling..I keep telling myself to 'wake up' because I would start to think bout past happenings n keep concentrating on the negatives which made me feel worse n deeper in. That's horrible how nice if they got sell any gadget or wad to chase away the blues...

Gonna choose a date between mid till end sept for baby's delivery. I wanted it on Oct 1st doc say cannot will be too late incase it becomes emergency again. Dunno to give birth earlier or later..consider the fact of sleepless nights, coping with two children n perhaps stress? Dunno..I guess if hubby's supportive enough everything will be fine..

I believe for husbands n wives to be in love n together till they die, at least trust n commitment is important plus the supportive attitude. However few achieve that, I hope to n still hope to...sometimes its very hard to guess wad ur partner thinks or do or perhaps afterall is u urself thinking too much n later causes bla bla n bla to happen. You koe some things is like once bitten twice shy but wad I learnt is place ur faith in God n do not worry!!

b.......o....r....e.....d

2008-04-24T23:23:00.002+08:00

These days have been quite boring for me although ya there are so many chores n Luke's to attend to im referring to the entertainment part. Cruise trip was fun but Luke was horrible he kept staying in the cabin to watch his vcd n definitely one of us have to accompany him it was really boring for me cos I didnt expect this n din bring any book along. Lesson Learnt....

Went to casino n played 'Jackpot', didnt really koe the correct way to play so I just blindly put credit n press n press till my credit is zero until the next day Martin explained to me the 'way' haha n yes I went to try again. Was really lucky the moment I sat down n it went into the random bonus mini horse racing game, was shouting so loud together with Pearl cheering the horse on n it came in first n haha won myself $470. I was really shocked but shiok =p

Perhaps because Im pregnant now, my emotions quite dramatic..a short while Im happy a short while I feel sian over the slightest thing. Wadever isit or happens now it will become da past n it is to prepare for da future...

I miss you...

Comfirm boy lah...

2008-04-12T13:45:00.002+08:00

It's a baby boy! Was a little confused at first when I saw the 'penis' between the legs on the ultra scan screen. At the same time was mentally prepared a wk ago when I had my first trimester test done when another doc mentioned could be a boy. Seriously was bit disappointed cos I wanted a baby girl, a pair ma to go along with Luke. But think of it, if its a girl their gender n age would be a gap at least a boy they still could play together. Plus the hand down clothes from Luke n I dunno how to clean a girl when she poos tho can learn but overall I guess im more comfortable n confident looking after a boy. Haha dunno is all the advantages keeping me well in my tots or Im just self comforting.

Im very excited bout the baby's arrival, the EDD was brought forward n it's ard late sep I still hope to plan it on OCT 1st or 2nd. Meanwhile gonna dig up those 3 yrs ago buried inside the store luke's clothings n etc n also make a list of wad else to get for baby.

Morning sickness have got better for me now..at least im gaining weight quite steadily n able to eat. The past few months was horrible even the faint shampoo smell would make me wanna puke on the spot. I remember once was standing outside the restaurant n I just vomited continuously n Colin just keep asking me wad I wanna eat cos he's filling in the order form n I joked to him that the food they sell is horrible that's y Im vomiting at the entrance of the restaurant.

Looking forward the cruise trip with pearl..guess after this short holiday the next time to travel will be yrs later again cos bringing baby with all the extra stuffs is really troublesome! Oh ya..Pearl birthday this Monday havent got something for her yet hmm,,,20th bday no more a teen PEARL! =p

Over 3...6 to come...

2008-03-24T00:13:00.002+08:00

First trimester is over!! I had a terrible time adjusting my body the last 2 wks. My gastric got so bad till I went NUH for a drip. But to reward myself today, (finally after so long) Luke was babysit by mummy =) . His initial reaction was he wanted me to follow him despite me telling they'll bring him to buy toys n after I'll meet them. But guess wad..when he met mum, after saying bye to me he din even look back. I see their backs as they went up the escalator dunno to be happy or sad just felt a tiny pinch in my heart but I really hope he'll be safe n happy today. And I met pearl at MS to watch the leap yrs.

Truout the movie, I checked my phone again n again if mum called. But she didnt, instead I called her right after the movie. And to my surprise, Luke's enjoying himself n he didnt ask for me...sob all because of da toys they bought to bribe him....so realistic huh chao Ah Luke!! I was so eager to see him after da movie but in the end, I ended up having dinner at suntec n then home to wait Luke to be send back.

The moment when I see Luke, I could tell he misses home but he enjoyed his day as well. He kept telling me "abit guo fen hor mummy" I told him not 'abit' is "guo fen lor". Becos...he bought 3 big bags of toys. Kinda ridiculous how they spoil him, basically from wad I heard he was brought to Taka toy store n wadever he pointed they bought him n dats Heat 1 only n Heat 2 was held at IMM. I dunno wad to say..but he's really happy smiling all da way n couldnt wait to tell me wad toy was wad n bought from where. Suddenly I feel as tho I miss him so much n he's grown up he could be really independent not the mummy this mummy that little boy.

It's bout 1230am right now n he's still watching Transformer movie havent really calm down yet from all the excitement he had in the day. Im starting to feel hungry n just tot of that look on Pearl's face halfway the movie, she took out her inhaler to puff. The movie's really nice, I feel touched n I tot Pearl's emotion got over her till her asthma took over but chey it's becos she drank too much cold water haha...

It's always nice once in a long while to take a break from something or da usual routine, u'll feel fresh again......Love still beautiful, isn't it? :p

wah wah weeeeee

2008-03-10T23:25:00.002+08:00

Still in quite abit of da wah wah weeeeee mood, went for my second appt today. After the normal scanning n measuring of baby, doc actually suggest to try see the gender which got me so excited. He did emphasize the result would be 60% accurate n we didnt see any 'banana' sticking out between da legs that's how they tell if its a boy or girl in the later months when the baby gets bigger. Baby now is only 4.7 cm, so tiny..even have banana there might be a possibility to miss out but today quite clear hehe so far supposingly its a girl!!! Luke is trying very hard to voice out to doc telling him he wants a bro!! How come no banana...haha..

My blood pressure taken today is lower than normal n also I lost a kg..I think its common in the first trimester with the darn morning sickness, the weird avoiding certain food behaviour n the crazy cravings for junk. Quite worried at first if I keep on eating in this improperly manner but Im determine when I get my appetite back, I'll eat well to pay back wadever lost in the first 3 months. Fortunately baby wont get affected much even I dun feel well...its growing at a steady n healthy rate. It was 0.4cm at the first appt. n now 4.7..10 times more all within a month...

Went to watch Waterhorse with pearl n martin in da evening, Luke cried twice for the whole show. Sometimes I dunno wad his little brain thinking, whenever he sees a temporary 'separating or parting' scene he'll just start to go teary n I have to keep explaining why it happened n pretend to be positive n tell him not to worry they'll meet again bla bla bla...nearly towards the end of the show I got teary also just cant bear to see the male lead already so old telling ppl the story. Bit like that old woman in titanic makes my heart ache...its like u lived until so old liao then u have memories n many life experiences to tell but sometimes they are happy ones sometimes they are sad ones but usually they are a mixture of both which makes the heart gets fonder n aches. Wad's more they will emphasize wad they said is base on true story...

Gonna turn in soon...start to have bit of gastric again...hope the pain subside soon n Luke to have a peaceful sleep tonight^^

Sunshine after the rain..

2008-03-08T22:52:00.003+08:00

Puked today..first time for 9 wks pregnancy n twice somemore..still not as bad as expecting Luke. I dun hope for more to come, its feels horrible especially in the public or in the middle of a bumpy ride. Went out almost the whole day, really felt very tired but it seems like my body got stronger also after being slave to gastric for almost a wk.

Got breast feeding stuffs from Taka's baby fair today. Nowadays even baby stuffs they like to sell in packages but its really cheaper n more attractive this way..plus sometimes got freebies to go along with. Didnt get to slowly see wad I want cos as usual Luke will nag n nag along the way but today he actually ask to buy a baby toy which I reluctantly got him in the end. Supposingly he said is for baby in the end he did a 'test' on the toy for baby first. I hope I can breastfeed successfully this time, there are many benefits for mother n baby but need to put in effort..daily affair somemore...

Gonna catch some 'bull fighting' before I go to bed...got so addicted with the show...he's so cute =p

To wah or to weeeeeee....

2008-02-26T19:20:00.003+08:00

Real long time since I last logged in to blog n I got the login ID wrong n wrong. The lastest event that is happening to me right now is Im 2 months expecting. Not being the first time but Im still as excited, my emotions like rollar coaster up n down probably bits of curves..haha. Well only till April I will koe the gender of baby, honestly I would like to have a baby girl since I already have Luke da monster but if it's a baby boy..he'll be a good company for Luke.

Im also looking forward to my next visit to doc in march, by then will be able to see more developments of baby. Its only 2 months now, Im counting everyday n getting impatient n have to remind myself its nature that baby takes time to form. Its really an incredible process n everything going tru inside my tummy. Quite envy to hear those frens who said they dun suffer so much of morning sickness while I still do but comparing having luke is much lesser. I hope when the product is out will be same too easier to look after than Ah Luke!

Luke is a big boy now he's 4 and talks alot. Everyday faithfully he would speak to baby at my tummy. Im suprised with wad he said once, "baby..how much u love me?" n he would pretend to have an ans from baby n would say "so much". Feels sweet...I hope their relationship remain that way or minimise sibling rivalry else my head sure big.

hug hugs huggies~

2007-04-16T01:01:00.000+08:00

A Hug!! Whether it's for a brief moment or long..both surely feels good or great! You could receive a message without words at least. Morning and bed time Hugs have surely become part of a routine for Luke to us, recently included the Good-Bye hug too. Being hugged by a toddler, not considering his small body is definitely comfort n affection from him. Hugging a baby to sleep makes the baby secure n comfort in mummy's arms..ooO not to mention about lover's hug! There are many types of hugs n occasions when u will hug. For me I think to snuggle in a longish hug in ur lover's arm is a luxury for both...those xing fu de gan jue~

Ya start hugging someone u love to show affection ba. It could really tell alot from this simple action.

Ok enough of hugging...having a real bad flu now..been out the whole day again. This trend started yesterday celebrating Pearl's bday n we havent recover from the lack of sleep n rest yet. That pig surely koes how to sleep, mummy rang her bout 7pm n she's still having her beauty sleep. Hope she's happy ya...yesterday spending her bday with us.

Hungry now..feel like having wakame udon which is like impossible..so late now n the fridge empty..second choice is the river valley fish porridge quite sometime nv have it at night time le. Miss those fish porridge days n VCD watching tho keep lacking of sleep but definitely =D!

Distorted thoughts

2007-04-13T01:25:00.000+08:00

What is Love exactly? Is there any correct way to show or do it? Perhaps giving u everything he has is one..or being jealous over the slightest thing is another? How to gauge? Feelings? Sometimes would just be carried away by it n made the later on regret decision..probably it happened to me so im writing it in a negative way..n well im still confused with wad i want exactly or rather how to be truely happy n be me again.

I agree with the saying that 'once something had happened or changed, it'll nv be the same again' but i also agree that unless effort is put in, things will remain unchange. So to change or not to change..does it worth a try? Well u'll nv koe if u dun try..but wad if after trying or during the process u find that u no longer could bear the process..to give up or not? Many uncertainties from wad I wrote..yup Im feeling this right now. There is definitely a way to take away or appease these uncertainties..but it will still not be carried out. The Qns is when? Am i waiting? Still waiting or already had given up this 'hope'.

Does it mean that being with someone who u're completely comfortable with u or suits u alot means love or being with someone who u cant stand even slightest bit of habit but still hold on is love? Perhaps both LOVE can be existed. .or not. Can it be split? Or is there any similar feelings close to the same "LOVE". HABIT or LOVE?

Definitely u have to LOVE the HABIT to have that Habit then the habit makes u love? or stay? Weird just like addiction to certain stuffs. Habit can be real hard to quit. But when u koe it's a bad habit will u make the effort to step out n quit it? N wad if there's other stuffs holding u on which makes it even harder to quit? Isit to leave it to ur determination or time or factors that insist u to quit it? OR dun bother n just live with it n later on get affected as a result of this habit?

I clearly koe wad i want but am holding back. . really alot to the extend im living with it. On the long run, am not happy just temporary only yet I still chose it. Does it means I really ok with it? Or I've aquired a new 'skill' to neutralise? No..I can be hurt but i have no right to hurt U.

Holidays~

2006-12-21T00:01:00.000+08:00

Christmas is coming! I koe it's been a while since I last blogged..heh not gonna wait till next yr! DECEMEMBER!! All the holidays, on going Live shows for the Kids..presents...celebrations...happening!!

This yr's Christmas is gonna be one of the memorable ones for luke. I still can remember last yr..Christmas to him is seeing nice green trees with beautiful lightings..that could keep him facinated already. This yr's Christmas, his knowledge has definitely grown..now is all about Presents and he has already got an electric bowling set n da big airpot LEGO set in advance!

Brought him to vivo city to watch LICKS 5D yesterday, it's a live musical show and digital animation. The performance was nice but the tickets are pretty ex I think to be seated in the golden village cinema. It's worth it la huh...he enjoys it n got wad he had requested! Tho I tot I spoil him at times but it seems there's another person whom Luke recruited as his 'property' spoil him even more! So Luke is a Happy little man with his shows n toys on going..

Luke's best baby fren, MingHao came this afternoon to visit us. Eversince we've shifted away to central we dun meet that often like in da past. The nice thing is that I'll miss him n his mommy just like his mommy would call n tell me that she misses us too. We exchanged Christmas presents in behalf of the little ones..Luke got a pair of roller blades! Cool huh...gonna teach him during his bday celebration would be even fun if hao blades too!

It'll be really really nice if we could keep this frenship close until they've all grown up..seeing them from baby to a toddler, a kid, a teenager, an adult...then have their own family n children =)

Gonna turn in early soon...have been going out these few days!

haha ahhhhhhh! day

2006-10-26T00:26:00.000+08:00

Yup I know it's been a long time since I last blogged...Today's really special..it marked my graduation..ya I graduated, Luke gave da grades :p

Well we started the day out bout lunch time went to a nv been before place to collect the thermal flask, a 'gift' from the mag's subscription. Right after we headed to parkway parade, have been there a few times with mummy but didnt really walk n it seems big n nice to shop n also we're so sick of Vivo City have been going there the last 2 wks.

As usual we had lunch, walked ard...then that funny guy eat M&Ms till he fell asleep in his stroller. The 'challenge' came after he woke up at coffee bean. He wanted to 'poo' but he didnt like to do it in public toilets so he had to control n kept farting until he made noise. So i suggested to get pampers for him from guardian. We tot everything was in control ya...guess wad..on da way to guardian, he din hold his packets of M&Ms properly everything dropped out, jumping about the floor he was at there screaming...he wants to pick everything up yet he koes they cant be edible anymore. Demanding right? U'll just feel like banging onto a wall n dunno wad to do next cos coaxing does not seems to work anymore. So no choice let him go ahead n cry until we arrive guardian..he just go on crying..until when we got his pampers, he didnt want to leave the place n kept pointing at the counter shelves...ahhh...he wants that box of sweets on it. His behaviour tells me not to buy for him but I still bought them n he kept quiet finally.

Peace huh? Not yet...everyone was suddenly excited cos of a last min decision to watch movie n Hx purchased the tickets online already. We were about to leave n head to PS...Luke started 'mummy milk...mummy milk....' he's really hungry n we didnt bring his milk out. Really go AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Bo pian lor..go supermarket buy a tin of milk. I kept telling him that I did not bring his milk bottles out..can he drink from the water bottle instead. Woah..he really has his own opinions n very firm with it lor..he insisted NO! n he must drink from a milk bottle. OK wad to do....we bought da tin of milk n da milk bottle...ran all the way to da nursery room get hot water, washed da bottle made milk...yeay everything done...peace! Gave him da milk n he was happy, telling me he wanna go watch movie...n not even a while..he passed me back the milk bottle...he just took a sip lor n said 'dun want already'. WAH! Gonna go nuts huh...ya if this happens in the past I'll get nuts n angry it's like all da effort for u..then u like this behave..suck my blood all bah..! But I didnt get mad instead I was laughing away at him n to Colin n I could even joke bout it. Really ar this little guy.....

No that's not the end. We rushed from parkway to PS, was in time to catch da movie n later on everyone was settled down. Luke kept farting still...towards the ending of da show finally he couldnt take it anymore..we brought him out of da theatre..we didnt finish the show. No..he still didnt 'poo' but 'pee-ed' instead n was kicking up a fuss over his wet trousers n wanted to change. At that moment really, it's either I choose to be MAD N GET MADDER or calm n settle him first. Of course I chose da second option.....heee I graduated ya =D thanks to da trainings which this little baobei have given n still giving us!!

so near yet so far

2006-09-10T23:22:00.000+08:00

Ever since the last asthma attack which Luke had, I've been trying to maintain his routine properly. Almost everyday is filled with chores, n cleaning falls in first follow by the usual chores. Sometimes Im just so tired of all these, but at least I koe Im doing all these for a purpose n that is Luke. At times really can go crazy with his cries n his naggyness, but hey most of the times at least I can remember to keep that positive mindset in my brain which keeps me from exploding at him.

Had a 2 hr shopping break at expo yesterday altho Luke's with me. Bought quite a few Christian toddler books for luke...nothing much from John Little Sales, everything was like so messy n I just dun like to dig in mess so i just give a miss.

Brought Luke to visit Raymond n his one month old baby bro today. Almost lost their contact since I've changed my hp luckily got his mummy's no. from stone again n was quite suprised that she had given birth again. I would love to have another baby but definitely not now when I've made plans for da future. I believe in making plans altho at times might be disrupted at least it works most of the times esp. when concerning kids.
Anyway felt very sweet for Raymond n his family, hope to visit them again.

Looking someone from afar under the same sky..so near yet so far....
Will tots be ever reached...

Early Day >_<

2006-08-29T14:58:00.000+08:00

Started the day early, woke up ard 7 plus couldnt sleep back. My alarm was supposed to ring at 8 as I planned the trip to the market. Been a long time since I went in the morning, the last time was with Fannie. Perhaps not much chances to go with her in future since they have shifted.

Luke started the day early too, 8 am -_- tried so hard to coax him to sleep back but he just refuses. Later on as his grouchiness took over, he just refuses to get changed n go for his golf class. Luckily we din battle on that much n eventually we were on time for class.

Today, his performance not as good as last. Partly because I joined him for class n also partly he was sleepy. Teacher told him to do a nice putt but he told the teacher that he is tired n came back towards me showing me his tired face HAHA n started to 'nua' about the carpet. His facial expressions were really cute today I cant stop laughing n smiling at him. Towards the end when they have their 'drawing' session, he was told to get a cushion from the shelf n I would nv have expect to see wad he did. He took the cushion n pat pat pat it n said, "dusty! dusty!"
I was like HAHAHA! Like wad i always do at home before I give him any soft toys or pillows to rid of the dust or mites on it.

He actually imitates me, it's really sweet n delightful =D

Once a child always a child in parents' eyes..

2006-08-23T00:32:00.000+08:00

Today Luke is 31 months old n it's also the second official golf lesson which he attended. Well the teacher commented that he did very well today, probably one of the reasons is becos we went out of the room instead of accompanying him like usual to watch him. We planned to test Luke's reactions without us joining so we 'chu' stun. Colin had to tell him that he needs to go to da toilet so Luke would stay in with the teacher.

We could see him from the outside of the closed door tru a small window. There's really a diff in his behaviour, he'll be more attentive n cooperative not like abit abit mummy or daddy. Teacher also commented that consider the fact that he nv attended any playgroups before n his 'shy' behaviour, he's all ready =)

Well the past wk is all bout one after another falling sick, Luke's still coughing now but not as bad compared to past few days. I guess whenever's the air is bad, we'll all get affected cos of sensitive nose n lead to many later ons. Brought him to A & E NUH again, dread that place...but luckily this time not that serious as the last asthma attack. Experience plays a part in helping this time..but who would want to gain experience in this aspect -_- no choice la...

Met pearl for a quick lunch since we going to HDB for enquiry on the house thing. Quite alot of doubts cleared not as complicated as I tot. Well the goal for now is to shift out of here asap considering lots of factors esp. da air = no good no good..got to minus the trips made to docs.

Meanwhile Im looking for another class for luke..perhaps those mix mix activities playgroup but lots of factors to be considered. As usual to conclude I HOPE Luke's cough will go away asap n Im happy to koe he's gaining weight after some adjustment to his meals which i made. Love ya baby!!

Bonding ^^

2006-08-13T00:46:00.000+08:00

Luke just slept..he vomited phlegm out which is good. Started coughing yesterday..mild kind. Somehow as usual after sneezing it'll be runny nose or blocked then sore throat follow by throat infection n cough perhaps fever some time. Alot of ppl get this often...well he got it..n now's my turn. Been sneezing my day tru started in the morning at ikea n now upgraded to sore throat stage.

I tot most likely would be camping at home since mummy's not available for dinner n luke's fluey but after dinner unexpectedly, we headed to suntec to do some quick shopping. Crowds in sight everywhere..even the cab couldnt turn into suntec cos of the firework display. No choice but to alight at Tanjong Pagar MRT to catch the train there instead..

Luke recently talks like an old man..he just loves repeating qns over n over again tho they were answered. I guess this is just another phase ba..rather challenging cos it could be irritating at times esp. when we're busy n he'll goes, "mummy go where?"

I guess when he's all grown up next time, we'll start to miss all these little 'behaviour' of his. Quite excited bout his coming Tues class, the feeling is so nice to bring ur child to class n attend with him seeing him progressing n having fun at the same time..I guess this is also bonding ba..

just another 3 days in a row

2006-08-10T23:59:00.000+08:00

8/8 Tues
Brought luke to great world that evening to attend the kindergolf trial class as Luke has been looking forward to it sometime. Seeing the teacher getting him to help out with some simple setting up, suddenly I have this strong feeling...'Luke is ready to be independent'
Seeing him involving n listening to the teacher's instructions really made me happy. By following instructions, he did a good putting at the first try n also chipping later on. I also learned quite abit by watching but Im not so interested in golf haha I'll see when I gets older ba.

Had a feedback session with his teacher after the class and she was suprised it was Luke's first time attending a class as she tot he was in some play group or so. Initially I did worry that Luke might be 'shy' as usual to get involved but hehe he proved me wrong n that's great, ya!

He was quite reluctant to leave after the class was over. And we signed up immediately for the class monthly package..kinda costly considering the duration of each lesson is only 45 mins. But as long Luke's interested and happy..why not...

He's got so excited that evening till he cant calm down n get to sleep early that night took some time on da bed to settle down. Next class would be on Tues, hopefully I could snap a few pics of him in action haha =p

8/9 Wed
National Day! Didnt go out the whole day..managed to have steamboat at home for dinner with the help of han xun. This guy sure can help to do marketing..gave him a list n he's got everything from the wet market for me. To have steamboat at home is nice but definitely involves preparation n cleaning up which is tiring but worth it la! Wanna eat n still wanaa complain rite??

8/10 Thurs
Brought Luke to tbp this evening to get a new bed for him as well as toys as promised earlier on. He chose to get an 'upgraded' version of bowling set and was so excited to go home n try them out. Got his mattress from the sea horse shop..'cash n carry'. Unexpectedly 'yeye' came n fetch us home..

Spread da sheets on his new mattress n he just kept repeating 'luke new bed, happy'....feel the sweetness when he said those words..simple but they conveyed that he's really happy n aware that everything's for him. He's got so excited tonight that he took almost an hour to calm down n sleep. Hope he sleeps well n have a sweet dream =)

Wah actually I wrote a rather detailed version of 8/10 but ARGH! halfway blogging the monitor went blacked out!!!!! Quite sleepy le n running out of composing mood hence the simpler version now.

O_o

2006-08-05T23:22:00.000+08:00

Met Debbie on wed with her bf for dinner...she still looks da same except got more 'nu ren wei' now...miss those days recieving small little notes n stickers from her hehe.. wonder if we meet up together with da rest of GuRz would the noise level still be da same? Haha..how times flies again, ya...

Been feeling cranky the last two days n got ppl ard me affected. Didnt koe I got such influence :p well it seems like pms to me..but I cant seemed to control my emotions just kept feeling moodless n down for no immediate reasons at all. The funny thing was I am awared of that pulling down feeling n yet I allowed it..the rubbishiest thing was in my tots those positive words they did past tru...but they really just did 'past' tru n I didnt recieve them properly...

long sunday

2006-07-31T00:47:00.000+08:00

Spent da whole day out today again...went BK at Imm for a filling breakfast then to Church. After Church, went to da range to see the longest drive compy..YeYe took part n got a cap for memo but he wasnt da winner of the longest drive but nvm la for fun ma...

Im sick of having meals at yoshinoya esp. ever since i koe how to cook that kind of beef n they definitely less salty n more tasty heehee...but I still had them for lunch at Parkway's yoshi with all of them...then to Changi we went....wad else again KTV!! This is da second time...sang from 3 till 8 plus then have dinner....basically that place that particular hall 'liked' room is quite comfortable...luke got so used to it till he could even roll about on da floor n with da music n so on...he'll have a big space to dance including all of us...without the tables in sight..

Crazy family...today no full attendance without da presence of my dear sister whoes supposingly preparing for her exam..else everyone would just sing n dance along..happening room man...those ppl who walked past also will wonder wad's happening treat da place like some kind of disco...

eternal flame

2006-07-29T00:29:00.000+08:00

Past few wks have been going out with mummy till rather late..n Im trying to change luke's sleeping time to sleeping early n waking early..it'll be better for him..less grouchy...

Camp at home these two days, partly sick of eating out n going out..everywhere seems boring to me n im trying to avoid crowded places so not to trigger luke's asthma plus everywhere's burning...

Right after dinner, spent some time with luke playing games..doing the ABCs thingy n later I on music for him to listen..n he sang 'eternal flame' so sweetly...dancing so gently following da music...realise other than that 'ye ye' song which he always sings...he could follow n imitate more songs now...including beautiful love...heheheee......love's beautiful~~

I like it esp. the first part of the song which luke would sing..
Close ur eyes..give me ur hand darling....
do u feel my heart beating...
do u understand...
do u feel the same...
am i only dreaming...
or is this burning
an eternal flame~~

Love

2006-07-14T02:26:00.000+08:00

2006-07-10T01:54:00.000+08:00

Been a long time since I last blogged...life is still happening for me with a kid around..ups...downs....

Luke caught flu 2 wks ago..n asthma came again...sleepless nights..worries...for da sake of his recovery it's worthwhile...

Luke's at the hospital with the neubulizer...doc gave him 3 rounds of treatment n finally his chestiness calmed down..they wanted to admit him..but luckily he overcome the sickness n got better at home after a wk's rest....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 july

Brought luke to da range with mummy that evening..he was so excited n happy. I was quite suprise that golf could actually hold his attention for so long...he hitted bout 50 balls that evening alone...wad's cute was he actually imitated n rem wad mummy said bout the empty swing..n showed us like a 'pro' whahaha.....

Turtle is also Di di....

2006-06-16T14:52:00.000+08:00

Brought luke to sentosa on Wed with xun..went to da under water world for the first time...yeah it's all our first time there...the fishes are really big, some even longer than me, huge...wad interest luke da most was the giant turtles in the pond..ever since we brought him to watch 'over the hedge' movie, he likes turtles...n even tells us that he belongs to the turtle family...his grandpa even bought the turtle (verne) plush for him. So now wherever he goes, or does..even sleeping..that small turtle will accompany him...n this turtle gets more kisses n hugs than us..haha...

We went up to the merlion too...nothing much just bit of sg's history ..n the view from the top quite nice but not very very those kind..cos only 10 storeys high ma...taught luke to shout 'ahh! ahhhhhhhh!' at the top....

Right after.. we continued to walk to the beach n managed to bring luke cross the bridge to the 'other' island..he enjoys the swaying movement of the bridge so much that he wants to walk to n fro -_-..but of course i din allow him to..quite a distance lor..then we continue to walk down to the dolphin lagoon...but it was still early so xun suggested we take tram to kill some time..The moment we got up da tram..i realised luke's turtle was left behind at the bench area..xun suddenly jumped out of the tram just to retrive that turtle..I was shocked..n the tram uncle driver stopped immediately, came over n told us it's dangerous..he say ppl might die or injured lor..n there's a bell to press to stop the tram...whahhaha...anyway both da turtle n xun are safe...
After da pink dolphin show, we took cable car back to habor front..donkey yrs since i last sat that..luke was so excited till even when we met colin for dinner..he kept telling colin non stop bout wad he did in the day n the dolphins..he just kept saying the dolphins jump up high....

It's really nice to be with nature...kids love it too...will bring luke to sentosa more often to da beach n get myself tanned!!

SWEET =D

2006-06-13T00:45:00.000+08:00

I Will Be Here

2006-05-24T02:16:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear
I, I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I, I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying, we'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake upand the future is unclear
I, I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I, I will be here

I will be here, you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

I will be here
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So I, I will be here, we'll be together
I will be here

3 days in a row..

21may06
Slept quite late that night, but still I made effort to wake up to go to church n met mummy for breakfast at mac..tho quite rush but I made it in time still..^^
After church, usual routine..with mummy ard..wad else but shopping...she always gives me the feeling as tho she would purchase the whole of Daiso..n she nv get sick of going that place haha just like me..some stuffs suprisingly useful n at reasonable price.
After shopping, the time is bout 430 pm already, suddenly uncle ron suggested to have a BBQ for dinner at ECP. Im all for it tho I koe all of us are very tired lacking sleep but yet go ahead. We got all the food n neccesary stuffs for BBQ within 2 hrs..colin even book the BBQ pit over the AXS machine n right away we got a pit..cool man..I remember last time u needa book the pit a wk in advance n have to go all da way to ECP n make payment in advance so mafan!!

Anyway took a few shots on the mess over the pit......

This is so crazy! Everything so last min...but really enjoy doing everything together with them..'yi qi mafan!'

22may06
My baby Luke is 28 months old! Way back couldnt wait for his to turn 1, who koes right after 1 time seems to pass even faster...I miss that baby

23may06
nothing special today...went to PS, wanted to watch movie at The cathay but realise luke cant watch cos it's NC 16..right after dinner walked ard..get things from carrefour then went home..

=D

2006-05-20T02:05:00.000+08:00

Had a very normal afternoon, was so tired that I took a short nap with luke n it turned out to be 2 hrs...Evening went for a change, Mummy called asking luke to go to da range..I was lazy somehow..n awhile later they're on their way already..rubber time as usual..-_- Had dinner at zion road..luke somehow ate lots of char siew today..a new break thru as he's always so lazy to chew chunky food.

Right after dinner, Luke followed them to da range...I was supposingly going to the super market to get his stuffs n probably meet them later...but haha ended up meeting pearl n martin at Wisma but what till I reached there...SALES everywhere...this is so crazy! Already spent quite abit on couples of Luke's flash cards earlier at taka..but buying more stuffs is inevitable with da presence of Pearl shopping with me...my sis is a great shopping khaki..we get excited seeing things we like together..trying them...buying them...whahaha..so fun! As tho can release some of my stress! Got that esprit sweater which I like it so mucH!

Later on, uncle ron came to pick us all..they bought a glove for luke tho bit oversized..mummy told us luke did swing a few times with his kid sized club just now. He was so excited as he would whenever they mention to bring him to da driving range..but kinda odd cos both me n colin have no interest in Golf. But Luke's very into it...even watch sport's channels' golf programs..

Luke was asleep when we see him..he din get to see us boarding the car tho..n right after pearl alighted, Luke woke up n we all noticed that he din realise we're behind sitting..n mummy asked him, "tonight go mama's house sleep?" n came the reply from luke was, "mummy where?"
"mummy didnt call, so tonight u come to mama's house n sleep, ok?"
Luke relactantly replied, "ok go mama's house sleep."
Wah at that moment my heart so ache..I could feel his sadness he wants to go home but he koes he doesnt have a choice cos supposingly mummy shld call n pick him home n didnt. But we all kept quiet n upon arriving the car park, Luke was still unaware we're behind..he told them "go mama's house..no go home"
mummy gave him some hint n asked him how come there's sound behind huh? But luke just got up very blurly still unaware..until I said, "LUKE!"
Immediately he turned his head n smiled so sweetly to me!! n asked me "where's daddy?"
n told mummy...he wants to go home!

Once again..he nv fail to make me smile n feel so warm in my heart seeing him growing each day..gaining knowledge n using them appropriately..Before bed time, he talk nonstop n trying to tell me what he did earlier on at the range n definitely looking forward to da next 1..
I still believe in using da gentle approach to kids..u'll see the reward later on.. ^^

2006-04-11T01:35:00.000+08:00

today's morning plan was to bring luke to suntec for his hair cut. But da uncle who cut his hair the last time, he was off today. N there was this auntie whom we nv see before took over..din really have a good impression of her. Cos luke requested to sit on da green chair to have his hair cut but that auntie said to me, "how i gonna cut his hair? by squatting down?"

Was totally turned off...cos this place was supposed to be "super frenly place" for kids to have their hair cut in an enjoyable manner..but she ruined it..the uncle is more patient no wonder luke allowed him to cut the last time..in the end no hair cut..went to supermarket to get milk but no stock..luke fell asleep on the way..so head to coffee bean n have a drink..sit down...relax~~

Came home bout 4+, rushed to cook dinner..unexpectedly mom came during dinner..after dinner the best thing for da day was ICE CREAM! Managed to drag all of them to have ice cream! Tho they're reluctant..but can tell they did enjoyed the ice cream..I had 1½ share...nv enough..just love the taste macha + azuki beans....some ppl dun like the combination but i just love it!

Hungry now again...got to control my 'rubbish' intake! Unhealthy..!! Plus tummy always bloated after eating at improper timing..!!

Stupid pong insisted on paying..I told him i'll treat since so long nv see him n plus it's always he paying for my meals n etc. As usual then brought luke to arcade for his game session n uncle pong sent us home, accompanied us till colin's back.

4/4
Colin's off today! Supposed to bring luke to his medical appt. but i called to cancel since luke's fine n his medications still have n so i changed to a later date. Everyone got up early including colin, suprisingly. Went PS to eat..i was very hungry n wanna have a good meal but most of the upstairs' restaurant not opened yet. Argh, went downstairs again n had MOS instead. Gone upstairs again to get movie tickets..time was just right..movie gonna start approx. in another 30 mins. Spent this 30 mins at the starhub shop, was considering within myself whether to get that phone or not. Eventually after hearing all the weigh outs from colin, I decided to get it. YES n i got it..after that heartache ar.............................................................paid another $368 for it but without contract la...Luke fell asleep watching da movie halfway..I prefer part I to part II..tho part II it's funnier..btw it's ice age =)

Started to rain so heavily...walked ard basement n got something for pearl for her bday!! PEARL------> DUN TELL U WAD"S THAT!
Also bought quite alot of things from carrefour..was like OH SHIT! nv bring stroller n the taxi queue so long..but heng got small umbrella...wad to do.~~ called cab n went home straight. Ate KFC for dinner too tired to go out again..

4/5
Normal day for me..house chores..luke..luke n luke....cooked dinner...ate them..n simply felt shiok! Sick of dining out...but i dun mind going to Wheel lock, the "SUN" jappy restaurant..like their steam rice..gives me a very traditonal feeling..but the price also very traditional..whaha..hungry now...............................

-----> "cos you bring out the best in me, like no one else can do
that's why i'm by your side, and that's why i love you " <----- Strangely..no matter how long ago this song is..whenever I listened to it.. it still gives me da same feelings.

haha!

2006-03-24T17:36:00.000+08:00

Yesterday evening was like a normal routine for me..had some time alone with luke..feeding n playing with him as usual..while waiting for colin to be back to take over...

Suddenly there's this baby bug flew in from da window..I saw it..tot it was some kind of bee..but it wasnt...initially I go "ahhh aHHH...ka ka..!!" so I caught Luke's attention..he came into the kitchen with that so brave face...haha n ask me 'where?' I pointed to it n he wanted to catch it, u koe...so innocent...then I pulled his hands away n told him it's a bug..'it might bite u' altho it wont i koe..just din wan him to touch it.

He said something to da bug...it made me so surprised n wanna laugh..
"ka ka, go home!" he's so cute..he actually telling the bug to go back to its home. Of course the bug dunno how to listen to english la, moreover baby english..haha..it just flew to another corner n camped at there until colin came back n guided it out to the window.

Later on..luke requested Colin to on cs for him to play..then it happened that colin joined this starhub server which only had a guy inside to play luke..kinda cool leh this guy cos he koes he's entertaining a 2 yr old boy..n he just let luke shoot..until colin asked how old was he n we got to koe he's only 18! So they just continued with luke playing..luke has learnt to throw HE..cool man!!

Wad's the best part was..colin suddenly went toilet n I took over da chat..n guiding luke getting bullets for him. N I decided to put luke to bed cos quite late already turning 12 am..so I gave da boy my msn to keep contact so next time he could play together with luke since he's so nice to entertain luke...but guess wad..the moment my email was typed out..he typed, "Rebecca?"
Wahhhh..i was shocked lor..who issit...must be someone I koe...he gave me a hint but i din guess correctly..eventually I got to koe..it's jeeyon!! Ah pearl's fren..!! But we knew him as well..cos we met before.. chatted online..even cs together before...wad a coincidence..!

Still feeling sweet..just put luke to bed...he actually said "Good nite, mummy" exactly these words..and gave me a kiss on my cheeks...really melted me..suddenly felt that all the 'tiredness', 'mafaness' all gone.

Quite sometime when I last blog..past wks have been rather happening. Sentosa trip with pri sch frens and the recent genting trip. Sentosa...having Luke ard going to sentosa makes me -_- cos alot of mafan ma..but eh..it turned out to be really fun for me and him!! Seeing him enjoying playing the sand and water, kicking football with da uncles...really makes me very happy!! It's like those "wah..luke grown up le...can be independent without mummy pei`ing" Definitely looking forward to bring him to sentosa again..including under water world!!

Genting...begining of day 1 is screwed up...uncle ron car broke down. Just only another hr..we'll reach genting le..but the car cannot tahan climbing up..it's overheated..probably it's thirsty or needed some rest like us..i dunno..but while waiting for the man to repair..something for the first time happened on me.....darn..my pants were stained..cos we all were sitting in the car for bout few hrs tru the journey..n i got this stupid habit of shifting my butt left n right..or put my legs up n down until im comfortable with a certain position..and i neglected the pad..it went off side n as expected..da blood flow backwards n stained my pants lar...will be quite 'shy' if I were 2-3 yrs younger then..but I just argh!! n told them kena liao..needa go toilet change..

Finally reached genting..uncle ron hired cab to go up to genting..bo pian his 'wife' refuses to be treated n cant climb up the mountain..so too bad lor...by then was bout dinner time already so after checking in to da hotel rooms..we immeditately headed for dinner...hmmm..to mushroom farm..kinda excited actually cos nv been to genting's mush farm before...the excitement slowly cease when i reached there...woo hoo it's so very cold..im wearing a jacket but it's not enough..even took pearl's to wear...but they say not cold leh...then slowly realised that my resistance had fell...fever took place at night lor..with the stupid nose throat infection..cos i cant stand the air there..very yandy n polluted. The food was nice..but I din eat much..no appetite after a shity day...

2nd day at genting..woke up late morning..bout 11..cos luke din slept well cos of the noise outside the corridor..got some kids..running about in da middle of night bout 2 am..talking n shouting loudly..made so xin tong cos luke cried so loudly like he's been shocked by dunno wad..then i went to open the door n asked them to lower down cos baby's sleeping. Brought luke to few of da rides..he's aiming for the indoor train ride..but it's too jerky for him..shake too much so he can see but cannot sit..haha..shopped abit with ah pearl after that..then luke goes cranky again cos it's near nap time...so I brought him back to hotel n zz with him until dinner time...terrible hor go holiday n sleep n sleep..not feeling well ma wad to do...da mood wasnt there with me at that time..

3rd day..looking forward back to sg...miss sg...crap right me..only 3 days cant take it liao..haha definitely there's more to missing sg!! ;)

Conclusion..genting is definitely better than da last time i went..basically they almost have all da entertainment stuffs n shopping to do there..but anywhere u go..as long with ur love ones..it'll definitely be a fun and enjoyable trip, ya!!

ah luke ah...

2006-03-04T14:59:00.000+08:00

Luke's fever had gone away..but the asthma part took over. He is coughing badly still, not eating well...feeling fatigue all the time, lying on his sofa, refuses to take medi nor puffs at times. He didnt sleep at all last night and he cant breathe well cos of blocked nose. Gave him antihistamines to clear the nose, but it seems that it's not working well enough this time. He's making me very very worried.

But logics tells me he'll be fine n Yes he will..it's a matter of time when the body builds up it's resistance again. Naturally I guess as a mummy, will start to worry and so on when seeing her own baby suffering n cant do much but to wait the medi n so on take effects.

"luke ah...please be a good boy and take the medi that doc has given u...it'll take away ur cough..dun so stubborn can or not..n ask u drink water always tell me no! no! everything also dun wan then how to cure the cough...wad can mummy do to speed up to make u feel better again!"

Being deprived of sleep is nothing compared to the importance of our children's health and well being. Im sure most parents have survived going tru quite alot the hard way too and share the same sentiments as me ba =)

aiyoo..

Aiyo..luke is sick again =( wanted to hold on the record for months until he gets sick again....but mission failed ......besides fever, his asthma is triggered too...so all come together like a dunno wad combo for me...I hope there's nothing else more for me...altho compared when luke's a baby when he's sick this is no 'kick'...

Babies and toddlers get sick very xing ku...caretakers also...they'll constantly make lots of noise especially in da night....different babies chu different patterns..luke is the keep wanna bao bao kind..

01-03-06
"I hope there's nothing else more for me...altho compared when luke's a baby when he's sick this is no 'kick'... "

i underestimated it....luke fever gone up to 39.7 on tuesday noon..im lost for a moment..colin was working still n only can leave until 6..it's about 4 pm then...I called up the specialist clinic..that girl advised to bring luke to da children A&E immediately as Luke took panadol already but din bring the fever down still...

Like crazy woman lor..he crying away..but no choice put him down..faster pack his stuffs..took a cab n off to NUH....dread that place alot..going there means nothing good..

Reached there wait n wait...was directed to the fever tent for a brief checkup cos he was running a temp u see n they are very particular with patients who has it. . I dunno probably it's becos of past SARS and bird flu...anyway i guess it's good to be cautious then sorry later on...

So after that brief checkup, they concluded he can go back to the normal A&E children area to wait for his turn to be fully examine by the doc..his crankyness continued...keep telling me he wanna go home! Argh and bao bao bao bao....later on hanxun came over awhile from sch (nearby ma..hor hanxun? *winks*)..he pei me until colin came n everything's done.

Doc's conclusion...Luke's caught a viral infection..suspected from colin..n these kind of viral fever takes about 3-5 days to recover n the temp ranges from 38.3 - 40 degrees. Paracetamol can only bring down the fever when taken..but will not take away the fever..only until his own body meet on terms with it...

Well, today's da 3rd day...glad that his fever is gone from late morning until now...Luke requested bowling early in da morning..as granted lor...cant tahan his nagging..brought him out awhile to great world treat it as take a walk ba..else at home very sick sick like this..to our surprise, da fever went down down down n didnt come back...

I think this logic is quite interesting..it happened to me before, i guess partly it's due to one's mentality ba. Dun really koe how to explain..but it seems like when u're doing something u like or enjoy or looking forward to something, u'll feel less pain...in luke's case fever gone down..
just like who koes it might have made him even more tired going out...but of course i'll observe lar..he shows wadever reaction, it'll be put into immeadiate consideration ma...

heehee..today me = sleep well......*hopefully ba!*

simple.

2006-02-25T01:09:00.000+08:00

Everyone's asleep but me..very tired but just dun feel like going to bed yet. Sometimes I just enjoy the tranquillity in the night.

Well just spoke to kaya on the net...guess he havent change a single bit still the same...but the kind of feelings he gave was totally different from wad I knew him the last time. At least things are cleared for all once again, he'll always remain as my 'shifu' and I hope one day he'll find his true love ^^.

Was occupied almost the whole day stocking up food. Went market in the morning get fresh meats to freeze, Great World for lunch and cold storage get some Jap stuffs then finally to Imm for dinner n Giant for round 3 of stocking up. Heard a song in the cab which caught my attention while im on my way to great world..was wondering wad the title could be...until when we reached and headed straight for lunch, I heard it again...can u believe it? Two different radio station playing the same song within the same hour and i caught them...OooO so I tried to guess the title..I ask hua cheng and he told me the title and my guess was right...heehee feeling lucky.

Brought luke to his fav baby hangout...da imm playground. Ever since he learnt to walk, he'll climb n play the slide deserting the wheels which he used to play when he's still a baby. But today was different, somehow he walked over and held the baby wheels...I ask him "Luke, can u remember last time when u are a baby u played with these wheels before?" He gave me a sweet smile in response. From the same height of the baby wheels, I could tell luke has grown much taller since the last time he played with it. Well couldnt help but to slow down n think how time flies huh...

Luke's already 2 which means im a mummy for 2 yrs already..definitely happiness rules over sadness in these 2 yrs..besides seeing his physical development increasing not to mention emotional too, it's really great to be growing with him. There'll be a day he'll have to start his own family and so on...By then I shld be retired..hopefully can do more of the things I wished to when i was young..and spending the rest of my life with my companion peacefully..

feelings

2006-02-21T22:44:00.000+08:00

A break away from my routine these few days...alot of feelings involved...happy...sad...angry...pek chek all comes in...definitely I'll choose the first one and delete the rest.

Sometimes things just dun seem to happen the way u wan them to.. u wont feel happy but then again if everything goes in ur way smoothly then there wont be suprises and experiences to make u feel the presence of certain things and treasure it or rather u'll feel crippled later on..always clinging on to some support..

Different perspective sometimes lead to quarrels...unhappiness.....how nice if could just sit down and listen to each other's heart - felt words.........almost impossible.........

Feeling extremely -_-,
my feelings are restricted...buried...totally suppressed.......................................

Someone had taught me to see things in positive ways.....but i'll still use the word.."hopefully" I wont write anything similar to this anymore.....................

sweet

2006-02-16T03:31:00.000+08:00

though this is not right, i'm still gonna tell u
i'm sure of my feelings for u
its definitle not a relapse or anything along that line,
I really do like you,,,

sweet sweet sweeeeettttttt!

rubbish bin

2006-02-15T15:36:00.000+08:00

Usually this month of the wk it's exceptionally tiring and long hours for me cos colin be working night shift the whole wk. Im kinda used to it but it's the entertaining luke part which really wear me out. But hey not too bad this wk after all...managed to meet up pri sch frens yesterday for a drink somemore it's V day..time always pass so fast when u're occupied with something u enjoy. Quite like to have similiar mini gatherings with them..altho always so last min and must bring xiao ma fan along but like wei wei says "to chill out abit"....gonna meet them on fri for dinner, this time more ppl coming..

Baby Blyss vomited..all of us were shocked and especially fannie but luckily pearl n HC was there to help to look after the kids while I help her to clean up abit..The vomit is alot and all over the floor...later on fannie called me and asked how's luke cos stephy vomited too before bed time...hope they recover soon be it stomach flu or food poisoning. Im a regular victim of stomach flu so i koe each person's condition varies and recovery time varies too...most imptly, fannie u need to get enough rest too!!

Now is bout 1133pm..im hungry now, chewing on noodles..sick of it but bo pian hungry...so boring no one's online today...where are u my rubbish bin~~

2006-02-12T13:39:00.000+08:00

Time seems to pass so fast when u're enjoying something...well didnt koe it was gonna be 10pm yesterday till the man shouted that they're closing at the toy departmental store...and luke was crying frantically for dat thomas train screw driver toy...he wants it..despite we telling him they're closing n stuffs like that...then bo pian lor..see he cry so xin tong..bought for him!

So he was happy and we headed to yoshinoya at cine to continue our bits of suanning n conversation with hanxun and andrew..but that andrew not steady walked with us halfway n told us bye haha wad else but becos he's with his girl..but we can understand la!!

within an hour or so..we reached home..luke's still being excited with his new toy..took some time to calm him down...after he's asleep im hooked on da net with a crappy person until 4+ am..tho this person's concersation with me is always crappy but I actually enjoyed talking, at least it's different at night not too bad...

Woke up at 8 plus definitely shack ar...wanna catch more sleep but hard luke goes "mummy mummy" and showed me that pampered face...ARGH! wad else i can do but to "sayang" him and get up start cleaning him and stuffs like that..hopefully later can catch a nap!! Need a big net catcher..!!

Oh ya chatting with those cool ppl now again..topic seems nvending plus the yahoo group thingy..fun and happening man!! And I declare i've just acquire a new rubbishbin!! HOHO it's in for more..................mom just called me going concert tonight tho i dunno wad concert isit haha..!!

booboobooooooo

2006-02-09T16:30:00.000+08:00

Seems like these few days have been adjusting back to da same normal routine daily...which means Im once again tied down with house chores...they're endless...just like cycles...for eg. clothes..u wear them..wash them..hang them...fold them...wear them..n hence repeat the rest again...

Im always complaining bored...y? since I have so many things to occupy me..it's not physically it's mentally bored...guess I need a break..but it's difficult lar..I've ever tried putting luke over in law's place or with my mom...in the end I'll keep thinking of him n no mood when outside..sometimes worst is when I picked him up n found that he's doing or playing with something he shouldnt have done so which they allowed..but u cant comment much...cos in da first place they helped u look after ur son.

Recently neglected those books which I've borrowed..cos in the afternoon when luke;s napping i'll either do house work or hooked on da net...n i;ll be too tired to read in the night when he's asleep..

I wrote the above in the afternoon now continue part 2...went to Great world city for dinner just now..luke so cute..while I ordering food for him..he asked the waitress for his edamame cos his habit to have them in his bowl..tried feeding him with other food but he didnt wan anything except da beans..then bo pian i have to order chawanmushi else he'll only have beans for dinner..

Well after dinner to where else but the arcade..for his bowling, basketball session...after all those he saw the "catcher" for sweets and gummies 1...one of the sides the gummy is gonna drop down into the hole already..so I asked colin to try..but to no avail...until the 5th time which we spent $5 already..luke went to press the button to let the handle down to grab up sweets n guess wad...he got the gummy..he was so delighted n me of course seeing him and im happy heehee...

After arcade brought him to kim seng bowl..saw this fat guy..very pro..his ball curves deeply and he strike all da way...cool man..!! waited for da stupid cabby so long in the end call cab...reached home bout 10 plus le...and here I am after luke's asleep.....

hope he sleeps well...sweet dream baby luke!! tmr gonna be a long day for me again.....wad to do..this is life!

[Sometimes I feel too dissappointed to be bothered with ur stuffs anymore..but dun be too much till it affects luke...It really dissapoints me to hear u said those words...wad can I do to make u understand wad I've said issit must wait till a day something happen or wad then u'll understand? I hope not...dear. Do u understand....I bet u dun till now yet. I hope one day u will....when it'll be will I be able to wait..well time will tell wad's true and wad's not ba...there's always a hole in da heart...difficult to explain also...]

2006-02-08T00:37:00.000+08:00

Brought Luke to the doc for check up again...he has recovered from cough n still on long term doses medication..head to westmall n watched movie till evening..then home..

Feeling messy and confused...i believed some ppl would have asked the same question as me.."can things be rewind and replay" haha but the ans is definitely "NO" impossible...Irony in our lives..probably if u go tru it well u'll get to see less of it..well..i've seen a few...like wad i wrote in my phone...

...........Sometimes feelings can be so sucky sometimes can be so wonderful..sometimes we'll feel sad or happy..Y isit sometimes but not always..Life is full of ups and suprises. It can be interesting when it attracts..can be boring when we're sick of same routine can be so ironic this feelings thingy..since every thing is wad u've chosen..But 1 thing im certain..love endures everything ..with love comes possibilities and happiness..........

I think I havent found mine...have u?? Im crappy....

Happening January

2006-02-03T15:17:00.000+08:00

Happening January for me! First was New yr...my bday...luke's bday...cny...meeting up mummies...meeting pri frens again =)

It was raining on off on Luke's bday..Luke's mood was like da weather after his nap..kept crying n didnt wan to see anyone. He's really irritated..and on that day we all didnt koe wad's wrong..until during the night I found out he caught stomach flu from me..darn virus again! I vomited...but it's a diff condition for luke..he had diarrhoea n i took him see doc for medi. Took a few days for him to fully recover. Except for Luke's tummy the 'party' was great seeing frens coming with well wishes..and sort of a mini gathering for everyone. Luke got presents and ang bao. The best present was uncle martin super big radio mini cooper for him. He eyed that since the last time we brought him shopping...

Lunar new yr not too bad for me this yr..managed to visit 2 of my aunts so long no see those kind..of course including cousins everyone's all grown up. This is the first time we're staying alone during this festive season..didnt koe chinese got alot of tradition for the old ppl...colin's mom told us some..and bought alot of tibits and bla bla for us...(kinda waste money cos we dun eat alot tibits but it's kind of her so probably trying to retain some tradition).

Colin took a wk off + leave during the festive but this one wk seems so fast...brought Luke to bowling a couple of times he enjoyed pushing da ball to roll although he cant carry it..but it seems that he's got colin's genes in liking this bowling thingy..met up with jac and fannie one of the days after bowling...brought da kids to arcade.. so fun!! seeing them so amused with the games..cos great world arcade have machines cater for kids..like adults' liked bowling basketball and the rolling ball upwards 1 dunno call wad haha...

Just yesterday met pri sch frens again...this time with the effort of hanxun being so naggy smsing yahooing bla bla everyone..we've got bout 10 this time..!! Seen ppl like weiguang ziang and cerong after a long time..dinner was kinda sucky for me and colin..cos luke lor..he didnt wan to have his dinner and probably cos of environment the lightings wasnt bright enough n unfamiliar..he didnt like the place n keep wanna go outside play the floor lights. Managed to get in and out of their conversations..with laughters carry on...haha..we took many pics and went mac cos colin pig is hungry still ate mac...tot he was piggy enough there's another pig wenxiang!! The rest just settled down continued talking and andrew had to help me keep luke entertained with the balloon playing.

Suddenly heard thunder liked sounds..i didnt realised wad was it till they said "FIREWORKS!" Wow...so nice to match those feelings meeting up with this group of nice frens..everyone ran out to see..and left colin behind looking after da things hehehe..I carried luke out to join in..meiyi was like asking me to faster and ask wei wei take a pic..we were standing and posing so long till i asked wei to hurry...then she replied..."taking video" we were like "......." hahahha...but it's really nice right at da moment seeing the fire works and so on with these long time frens..and I told hanxun "wad a good organiser u r to include fireworks.." hahaha tho we koe it was not his work..

Happy and nice feelings~~ hope everywk can have this feeling once...then time will be easier to pass and happier....wah wah weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

2006-01-12T14:39:00.000+08:00

Yesterday......................didnt expected to be so screwed up. It all started with Luke making noise and coughing so badly and became feverish and eventually fever on and off. Didnt koe how to make him feel better becos I couldnt bring him to the hospital either as he has his medications at home and his fever was still in controllable temp. But he still refuses to take medi until night time junxiang dropped by to help me get panadol and poccarri sweat.

The moment uncle pong knocked the door he jumped up from his mattress still feeling drowsy and followed me to open the door and sort of welcome uncle pong. He was so delighted and jumping non stop..n finally i took this opportunity to make him take his puffs and drink water cos i told him if he dun uncle pong will go home. Haha! Usually if colin's ard n he refuses his medi i would ask colin to help me grab him and make him take else he wouldnt feel better soon.

During the night he woke up bout 3 plus and cant get back to sleep and start asking me where's daddy? I told him he's working still and he told me he wanna go outside living room watch TV! I was like -_- I told him no tv all of them sleeping already including ur toys! So he was disappointed and lay down slowly close his eyes tried to sleep back and the cough was so irritating and he just keep turning ard the mattress and i wasnt allowed to sleep at my own bed but only with him else he'll go "mummy mummy lie down" and he would point his bed. So I din sleep well too but compared to the time when he's a baby and sick he'll be much noiser and cranky compared to now. Guess he's grown up too he can control his breathing better when he's got flu.

It's still raining now...colin askin me dinner where...i no idea seriously not in the mood to choose or decide cos my mind is tired. Birthdays to me is not really impt but kids 1 are more impt cos they get to have fun and party which we adults dun already haha...tho we still party but it's different kind.

Hope my baby Luke faster recover and stay away from all these stinky allergens.

Went to ikea for a late breakfast this morning. We didnt put into consideration that today's a public holiday and went ahead...and when we just arrived the bus stop and saw the car's queue to the car park. Weet so long so long...even the bus couldnt turn into the bus lane. So as expected the crowd was also at the restaurant. -_- So bo pian queue lor wad to do...luckily the way they manage the queue was systematic and it wasnt long till our turn then.

Din get to walk ard ikea the crowd was terrible..so went anchorpoint to cold storage. When we're going in tru sliding door to the shopping center luke was asking us where's the balloon decor they had there...we were surprise. Y? cos it was sometime ago when we brought him there to see a doc and that was ard christmas season n there were decorations of balloons ard. So he remembered. Cool memory. Just like I always bluff him "U finish ur food mummy bring u go buy car later" -_- after dinner he'll go "buy car buy car" he would remember wad i promised. Got once even worst. The night before colin told him "u good boy tmr daddy bring u go watch movie" The next day he din even wan to take his nap and kept asking "movie" kids they'll remember wad u've promised one lor...so I try not to make empty promises to him and I do take him or reward him as promised. He's happy and so am I. =)

So after supermarket we came home it was still drizzling then...luke and colin took a nap. Two piggies woke up ard evening time. . and we went IMM for dinner. Bought some party pack stuffs for the kids on luke's birthday...cant wait to see the kids ard and have fun again plus mummies gatherings..hehe =p

Well Luke's asleep now and we've just finished supper...the tot of colin's not home tmr and during the night is fresh in my mind...not really used to it when only me n luke alone at night time. Hopefully time pass faster tmr for us both. Luke's gonna miss colin alot..he always wanna wait for daddy to be back when colin worked in the night shift even tho he's so sleepy.

Lastly, Hope my birthday wishes could come tru ya?

Rainy days

2006-01-09T15:49:00.000+08:00

It was raining heavily the whole yesterday and i think it's gonna be same for today. The feeling of coolness is great but troublesome to go out with a kid la...so yesterday we brought luke to jp bout evening time. The initial plan was to get colin's hp to repair but halfway tru at buona vista colin said "forgot to bring the warranty card out" well that's it. -_- But we still went jp anyway cos of the beef stew...rainning eat beef stew = shiok ah!!

It wasnt dinner time yet when we arrived there but we're hungry n I suggested eat long john abit then later awhile more dinner time!! But who koes later on when luke and colin are both hungry and Im not still...but we go ahead to have beef stew cos luke was like "MILK MILK MILK!!!" then bo pian...faster feed him rice.

As usual brought him to TOYSRUS his fav shop and kiddy palace then mummy called she's coming to meet us. Luke was so excited when he heard bout that and we waited...n finally met her. Eden and Gigi came along. They are both sibilings and luke's fren. Eden is 9 and GiGi is 6 these two kids are very good care taker of luke. Becos they koe how to show love and care like holding his hands and assure that he dun fall or run too fast or come into danger. So im quite suprise with their manner and behaviour cos seldom get to see that esp. Eden he's a boy but he always gives luke a big hug whenever he sees him. Very warm and loving kids...Luke enjoyed their company too and they played screamed...n I told luke to control and not to..cos screaming can be a trigger to asthma cough cos he suddenly got so excited. Like wad Im worrying about after meeting and all the fun they had...Luke on the way home started coughing again.

Argh! felt so bad to see him coughing again cos his cough had recovered and stopped few days again since after the doc changed his medication and like the doc's advised to avoid triggers else his cough's back again. So wad I can do now is to increase his doses for the ventolin puff and hope the cough go away soon. =(

2006-01-07T22:52:00.000+08:00

Luke's asleep now after a long day out. Brought him to paige's house then to taka toy departmental store as promised cos it's rainning heavily cant cross over to paragon. Paige's so pretty and cute today. .she always has this innocent face and whenever I look at her she reminds me of luke. Clare showed us some of paige's baby photos those newborn ones.. really look like luke at certain angle even huifen said so too.

Well..it was fun chatting with the other mummies and seeing the kids enjoying the barney show and the toys. But here goes luke anti-social again after he woke up from his nap. He started " bao bao" , " I wan bao bao" which made me n colin -_- but bo pian la of course to bao bao him. So after cutting cake when we about to leave it rained heavily again n jianwei came and gave us a lift to orchard.

Well as usual bidding byes and blas blas...bout 5- 10 min. Luke and Paige kissed! Like wad clare was saying "First Kiss" haha so sweet that moment wasted din managed to capture cos it was lips to lips those kind. Hope to see the kids at Luke's birthday soon!! It's really fun to have them ard...esp. ming hao seeing him enjoying himself like nobody's business and kept asking food from colin n me. He's so cute and handsome.

Suntec again

2006-01-07T16:31:00.000+08:00

Colin was off early today from camp..too lazy to cook dinner today..bad cough me. So we went Suntec for dinner n took Luke to Toys'R"us as promised if he finished his dinner. He was so delighted and after long anticipation finnally there! There was this fisher price scooter which he likes it very much cant stop ridding ard with it. Felt like getting the Buzz lightyear's scooter for him on his birthday. It's actually a tricycle for toddler.

Well met up with Pearl and Martin at suntec as usual haha..went arcade got this machine not those doll catcher but those u need to scoope up the stuffs and pour it down n hopefully it'll push the others and drop into the hole and it's urs...those kinda machines. Inside was this like "bu dao wong" disney mini figurines..it's very attractive becos all of them was at the edges and seemed gonna drop down by the next try. Haha well Colin got one for the first try but not the subsequent and we've found out there's this transparent plastic folding up at the edges to sort of bounce the rest of it down side ways instead into the hole as the figurines' bottoms are rounded this makes the whole lot difficult. So the first try n got it was actually a lucky 1. Wu liao right wasting $$..it's the thrill ba..haha..

Well..the two piggies asleep...im so bored..hair still wet. Tmr gonna meet jac and fannie to go clare's place it's paige birthday party.

2006-01-05T15:20:00.000+08:00

Brought luke to checkup yesterday, doc said his cough not much better n she changed his medi to stronger dose. Hopefully he'll recover this time tho his cough is not contagious. Was also given a small diary to keep record of his cough, wheeze, puffs taken. Serious work n effort have to put in here to cure him. Every morning have to steam clean the beddings n sofa cos to kill off the dust mites and also his toys so many to clean. Dunno where these dust come from everyday also got new 1. And we're all allergic to it so wad to do.....but to clean.

Colin have to stay in camp next wk for a day n it's right the day before my birthday which means i wont see him on twelve midnight. But it isnt his choice too..well this is my first time spendin the night without him ard ever since we've shifted out. My birthday's coming....well I practically dun really needa buy anything but I have 3 wishes (greedy) first, Luke's recovery and be healthy again, second, Colin pls stop smoking dun wan u to die earlier than me and third, peace. Y peace ? Peace to me means no quarrels ard including others we koe and no new upcoming things to shock me or unhappiness... so peace =)

We'll be celebrating luke's bday at chevrons again...but before luke's it'll be paige bday first...going this sat to her house. She's so cute so fast seeing the kids one after another turning one yr and so on...sometimes i feel like having to experience the birth of a newborn again it's very nice the kind of bonding n feeling. Once they're grown up...it's different again evry stages....

Sleepy..

2006-01-03T15:54:00.000+08:00

Oh man Im just like luke now...mucus dripping out from my nose constantly..ewwww. Terrible feeling no wonder luke has been making so much noise ever since he caught flu. Felt fatigue all the while and felt like sleeping but luke dun allow me to. He's so full of energy always..even the fact he's still sick. Flu + that asthmaic cough...those are not enough still to make him nap longer in the noon. But i rather he sleeps little than he sick sick....A wk past liao he still sick.

Bringing him to follow up check-up tmr morning..hopes no new news appear...the asthma thingy is still fresh to us. And I hope the medi could cure him faster or wad..before his birthday celebration else he cant swim can see only poor thing =(

Been wks after wks...

2005-12-31T01:44:00.000+08:00

Luke has been coughing for bout 2½ months been taking medicine reguarly to suppress the cough. But the other day brought him out to Imm with Stone and he caught flu from minghao! Guess it's that bowl of tao suan which they had shared...(u one mouth I one mouth like bros) heh but looked wad happened.....

His flu was very bad...till worst then he cant breathe at night and I had to bring him see doc again cos the medi had to change to a stronger dose. But the following day, wanted to bring him see usual doc and I called the doc's clinic and heard that the queue was longer than usual. So I made a decision to bring him to another clinic this time and not the usual one since the queue is so long and it's not very good to bring him to queue at a crowded place he's feeling very fatigue. Hence brought him to this Raffles clinic at Anchorpoint.

The doc over there was very suprised with luke's current medication which consisted of this antibiotics which required him to take bout 20 days...she said it's impossible to be consuming it for so long...but we told her that we're just following the previous doc's instrutions and she listened to luke's lungs..check up bla bla and she commented "You have to bring him to hospital, he's having asthmatic cough and he needs treatment at the hospital not home only!"

So from the seriousness she had given us we koe this time we really had to bring him to the hospital again it's not just another common flu. From the hospital after doc check plus x ray and letting luke doing the "asthma" treatment breathing from a mask that kind which made him cried alot he doesnt like it, doc had explained that he has this allergy cough and cant confirm it's 100% asthmatic cos it cant be just diagnosed from a single test but he definitely has the symptoms and another factor possible inheritence. So actually he's been having allergy cough all this while and it's not asthma yet but becos of the flu he caught again (new virus) which worsen his cough and it became asthmatic.

So after concluding, he was given the ventolin puff and another light brown 1 for him to bring it back home for his regular puffing and treatment. It was really tough to convince him to do the puffs for me..cos of the previous treatment at the hospital which had frightened him alot. Eventually I keep explaining to him and even showed him wad I gonna do on him and he listened and followed my instructions. Else really dunno how if he refuses cos he need it to make him better.

Well now I really prayed that he'll be fine his cough will be gone soon and he'll not be feeling fatigue all the time after the puff and so on. He's still very active although he's sick and sleeps very little in the afternoon which is not a good thing. Guess have to put aside the tot of working and finding a childcare for him cos need to look after him myself to build his health up!

/Mummy shouts to Luke baby! "Stop coughing! Get well! Love u alot alot dun make daddy mummy so worried!"

Crazy evening

2005-10-06T15:44:00.000+08:00

Woooo...it's been nearly 3 wks since I last updated...basically busy with luke, household stuffs..tired and worn out feeling super lazy to write...but tonight different cos my mind is still hyper!

Well past few days seems boring to me although I have tons of work to do. Not exactly the word to use "bored" but becos Colin's not ard and the house seems more quiet without him and luke squeeking as usual..but luke alone is really enough to make me worn out. Every morning nowadays since colin started working...we have adjusted luke's sleeping time to earlier at least but wad to expect is he definitely gets up early too! Which is like colin wakes up at 7 then luke wakes up bout 8 which means I got up 3 times equally..cos luke usually wakes up at 6 am for milk..then 7 colin then 8 luke again. Argh...! My sleeping time is screwed while morning is approaching everyday! But guess bo pian de la have to get used to it..compared to last time while MR luke is still a baby now better at the very least he sleeps now!

Today had a crazy evening! It all started out with Fannie..she couldnt make it on time to pick Stephy back home from the sch bus..she called me while Im preparing dinner n I helped..then met her n came up my place for dinner...then my phone rang again..mom they coming over for dinner also..but not enough food la if plus mom they all..so got Colin to da bao extra dishes..so lucky food is enough heehee...

After they left, gotto clean and tidy up the place...luckily Colin's there to help then plus I had to bathe luke and pei him put him to bed..and finally he's asleep! ahhh tired day~! But it's nice to have so many ppl to come and eat together! =))

bth....

2005-09-13T13:39:00.000+08:00

Yesterday went to suntec againnnn...this time is to see wcg and at the same time meet pearl again. We went to the arcade...guess wad..there was this guy he caught a baby mickey which is the same one as martin caught for luke..his face was like so confident and weird. We find him even more weird and hl after seeing him catching another toy doll. So we kpo just hang ard and see more see what stun he gonna "chu".

HAHAHA...cant help laughing when I recall about it. He was trying to get baby daisy this time...me and pearl was beside him and together with the crowd looking and was like hoping he wont catch another cos his face was really proud and stuck up like he's the king of catcher those kind. But he caught it...the gripper caught hold of baby daisy and its returning back to the position where it'll drop the doll...we were like 'oh! he caught it!' and he did a pattern with his hands like a "yes!" sign and talking to himself away...while awaiting for his baby daisy THE MACHINE JAM!

His whole facial expression had changed to "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" and cant stop hitting the machine to let the gripper let go of baby daisy...at this time I was laughing away loudly..he saw it I really cant control it's really funny..pearl followed on...we two laughed until wanna squat on the floor...it's really funny to see his expressions..perhaps it's some sort of punishment for him to be so HL..and made a fool in front of everyone....HAHAHA!

HAHA!

2005-09-11T17:16:00.000+08:00

Went to suntec again today! Keep going there nowadays since I've shifted....main purpose today was to try the car giveaway by the straits times but hehe got nothing!

Instead as usual we went to the arcade and tried to get that baby mickey! Woo Hoo~ Martin got it for us! The arrow pointed at fate! Me and pearl was like screaming away cos we saw the grip holding onto mickey but was so afraid that it might not make it to the hole there. But he got it...weeeeeeee was so happy at that moment cos past few days I've been telling them I wanna get that baby mickey so cute and it's a mini bag luke could carry it. Heehhee and we've got it. Thanks Martin!

Luke actually like the baby mickey so much. He hugged it, stroked it and kissed it affectionately. He even carried it to bed, lay it down beside him and took his fav blankey and pillow and shared with baby mickey...finally drank his final bottle of milk while holding mickey's hand..he fell asleep at last....

It's really sweet and amazing to see kids giving affections to someone or even a toy doll...they learn to love..just like how we showed them how much we love them...

ups and downs

2005-09-09T15:19:00.000+08:00

Had lunch at home today..tried many times to make luke take his noon nap but failed. Went to collect tickets bout 6...after that went to suntec meet pearl...felt rather sad >_< y sad? cos of some same old problems..probably communications problem between me n my mil.

Mood changed better after meeting pearl and martin. Oh pearl caught a minimouse doll so lucky! Luke insisted on bringing that minimouse back home when we getting down from cab. Haha..guess pearl will miss her minimouse...

Well...Im those kind today unhappy tmr wake up forget that feeling! hopefully i'll succeed this time again!

Nostalgic

2005-09-09T14:22:00.000+08:00

Met my primary school pals...meiyi, weiwei, lijun, wenxiang, zhengchang and andrew. Hanxun was supposed to come but he had something on so in the end nv turn up. Hopefully can meet more the next round hehe..

Sat at Bugis MOS for quite some time while waiting for the others to come..most of us din change that much except for wenxiang, cant really recognise him. The feeling is really nice sharing and talking bout the past and present...guess it's really a break for me away from my usual 'luke' routine. But luke came during dinner..he was like as usual seeing so many ppl ard, he became shy and anti-social again..but slowly he got used to it and kept himself occupied playing with his food. Imagine edamame inside a bowl of plain water transfer to a cup and scooped onto a spoon and to his mouth...eeeewl but that's how they keep themselves occupy and quiet...while we adults can talk and eat peacefully....

Took some photos but quite blur cos i guess it;s becos of the camera's settings...argh..some really wasted. But nvm..the next time I'll try to get them take more.

Really miss those primary sch days..so carefree and we have a certain group of good frens..not like now everyone is occupied with their work, studies bla bla...so many commitments..also quite difficult to arrange to meet up often. But also quite happy to keep in contact with them.. and to koe that everyone's doing quite well....

Tired...

2005-09-04T07:25:00.000+08:00

Had a busy Thurs and Fri...Thurs early afternoon we're out to Bukit Batok for luke's injection. Waited quite long for his checkup to be finished and the injection to be done. It's supposed to be his 18 month's checkup as we've missed it cos we're late the last appointment and their stupid regulation was once u late u must re-schedule appointment. Damn! so pissed off the other time cos the nurse was rather rude. .

So the checkup was a so called 'detailed' 1, took his height, weight and head circumference. He gained abit of weight, much taller and head bigger than average as usual. Luckily not normal birth giving, else I sure very pain 1...Luke cried the moment Colin grabbed his arms dun let him move, he doesnt like to be grabbed or restricted in his movements since birth. The nurse gave a quick shot of jab and the moment Luke regained his movement, he stopped crying and kept complainning. Not becos he's afraid of the jab but irritated to be restricted..After evrything done was bout 4 plus already. Then went up to visit parents....sat awhile then went to suntec IT fair. It was so crowded cant walk ard much....head for dinner instead and back home caught the last part of Super star.

By the time Luke was asleep it's already 1 am plus...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday was simple went to collect passport then to suntec IT fair again to get something. Hanged ard there and met pearl and martin. After dinner together ended up at this arcade upstairs till bout 1030pm....argh the catching soft toy machine is so addictive! Martin and Pearl was trying to catch this soft doll while luke and me was screaming madly when they almost caught hold of it. Felt kinda funny cos luke actually understands the kind of excitment and why we're screaming and cheering for. Guess he's growing day by day...knowing more things ard him.

We reached home quite late....very tired everyone but had fun screaming away...haha....

Normal day...cool evening

2005-09-01T15:14:00.000+08:00

Managed to get up early today...digged them up and went to the renovated redhill market. It's very clean and everything is new of course. Not much fishy smell wet unlike the usual market. After breakfast walked ard and for the first time I bought meat from the market...damn auntie. So suprised, cos I got a piece of chicken breast for only $2 while last time I got it from cold storage was like $4.10? Wow great difference...cool experience...I think getting fresh and cheap food is a kind of art u need skill...havent reach that level need to train more and slowly level up.

Had a normal afternoon packed with house hold chores while luke is pigging away...

After dinner, luke was rather noisy..I could tell he's bit sleepy so instead of putting him to bed I dragged him to change and we headed to Tiong Bahru Plaza. We brought him to the park, that was the first time we went there n climb on the train play ground..rather dangerous cos I think it's meant for older kids..

Then we decided to go luke's great grand ma house cos it's just across the street but luke cried refuses to leave the play ground. He started screaming and cry dance with his feets (I dunno where he learnt that from, but it seems colin claimed that it's in him from me.) But hehe we're smarter than him when he 'chu' this pattern I told Colin to go..we'll go and he'll follow..and it works! He just 'guai guai' follow behind still screaming away complaining.

Felt rather nice always after leaving Colin's grand ma house, always got lots of goodies and his ah ma very motherly. She got 2 pieces of cod fish from the fridge and told me to bring it home to cook and eat...plus she took lots of chocolates and this container of fried japanese "ikan" (which she fried today) for us to da bao back.

Tmr bringing luke for his jab...hope he sleeps well tonight...babies are also cute while they're asleep...look so peaceful..n sometimes u earn a smile while peeping at them sleeping... =D

Wonderful~

2005-08-31T15:38:00.000+08:00

Just put luke to bed, usually he drinks 3 bottles of 180ml before going to bed but today, he drank 1 bottle only n knock out completely, well guess he's really tired. Brought him to bukit batok see parents, as usual he bought a new toy car happily holding it to sleep just now so cute! Bought high 5 cds too..he watched 1 piece before going to bed.

I'm quite surprise that he actually really enjoy the music n could dance along n imitate them now not like before just sitting n watch. Seeing him enjoying it's a kind of wonderful feeling. Hope he have a sweet dream later on...

It's amazing how a little baby can actually change our life, everything...it's how we lead it..for the better or worst...they can be monsters, really demanding at times and really sweet with lots of generous kisses. Yet with all the mafan bringing him out this n that....it's actually worthwhile.......... =D

Lizards...

2005-08-28T15:08:00.000+08:00

Yuacks..cant stand the sight of lizards..I'll faint if u bring one close near to me..there was this incident when I was young my cousin's mom actually caught hold of one killed it..then my cousin she cut it into half with a scissor right in front of me...that's y until now I just dun like seeing lizards...but cockroaches ok.

This evening while we were watching tv, I jus happened to see one escaping across the wall n it crossed my fav photo frame..I was screaming madly to Colin, " CATCH IT! CATCH IT! Take the container, faster catch it!" But he failed..." The lizard flew away.." he said. Damn..it ran so fast away....unlike the other time he managed to catch one n released it..it was a baby lizard. This time is also a baby lizard bigger abit than the last 1...could it be the same one? Yuacks cant imagine if it can recognise my house...the mosquitoes here must be nicer...still feeling very gao wei with the thought that it's still ard, somewhere in my kitchen -_-
