Manage to capture Jermaine holding the milk bottle for that few secs.

Giving that stone stone look.

Jermaine likes to be on her tummy but she still doesn't know how to flip yet.

Mummy, I got teeth or not? Can count for me?

Jenelle's First Day In School

Jenelle is the only student in the class today because this is a new school and they just started operating today. So she gets ALL the attention from the teachers. And surprisingly, she did not cry when my hubby brought her there. She seems to be enjoying herself. But her teacher told us, she cried a little after waking up from her afternoon nap. We were soooo relieved. Hopefully, she will continue to enjoy her school.

Jenny's Birthday Gathering

Went Illuma with Jenelle to celebrate Jenny's birthday. Had lunch at a Japanese Restaurant, Benten. Food wise, not really fantastic, so so only. But the service is quite good. I must say we are a troublesome and noisy lot, but the waitress still attend to us patiently and with a smile. Maybe because we are so auntie, tats why they find us very comical. :p

Chicken Teriyaki Combo

Jean and Lynn also brought along their prince and princess. We had a great time chit chatting and catching up with each other.

Jermaine can turn

2009-06-17T17:42:00.003+08:00

Jermaine's hard stools

Since yesterday, Jermaine has a hard time poo-ing. Her stools are hard and got stuck in her anus. She kept crying and can sense that she is in pain. Heartache!! Have been diluting her milk and let drink lots of water. Hope will improve her condition, if not, might have to change her formula milk.

Jermaine can turn!

Jermaine manage to turn herself to one side last week!! The nanny asked if I turn her, I said no. The nanny was so surprised!! She said so far throughout her 11 yrs as a nanny, she only saw 3 or 4 babies who can turn when they are only 1 week old.

Features of Bb Jermaine

姐姐 & 妹妹

Baby Jermaine

Both my hubby and I thought we can cope without a confinement nanny. I was thinking my maid can cook confinement food and my mum can help a bit when she is at home. But I was wrong!! For the 1st week, my back ache so much that I was hoping to have a good rest. However, I can't. I have to feed every 3 hours and during the night, Jermaine does not want to sleep!! After almost every feed, she will be very cranky and refuse to sleep. This will last for ard 2 to 3 hours. Both my hubby and I were so shacked. Worse for my hubby cos he needs to work the next day. We gave up after a week and decided to look for a confinement nanny to help for 3 weeks. Lucky, the previous confinement nanny is available and she came into Singapore 2 days later. Finally, we can have good night sleep, at least for 3 weeks.

Arrival of Bb Jermaine

2009-06-02T23:10:00.000+08:00

Arrival of Baby Jermaine!

My hubby and I arrived TMC at ard 12:05am waiting to be admitted. After the registration has been done, we proceeded to the ward. I was surprised that my hubby upgraded to a deluxe room for me!! The room is soooo nice, with 2 LCD TV and a touch screen PC. So surprised he did that because he has been asking me to stay in a 2 bedder.

Slowly, I started to feel minor contractions till around 9am where I was asked to proceed to the delivery room. Soon after, the intense contraction pain kicks in till I cannot tahan and finally asked for epidural. After my epidural, I can still feel the pain at my pelvic bone even though the rest of my body from waist down is numb!! I can feel the bb's head coming out but because my cervix has not dilated, I cannot push. Everytime, there is a contraction, I feel terrible!! Finally, ard 3pm, the nurse asked me to start pushing. I only push for a few times and was asked to stop. The nurse then told me to wait for Dr Eunice to come down. At this time, the pain is even more intense. I was praying for Dr Eunice to arrive asap!! Finally, when she came down, I only push for 4 times and Jermaine is out!!

Jenelle 姐姐 came to visit Jermaine 妹妹.

Little Jermaine On the Way!!

Has been a long long long time since I blog. Later in the afternoon, I will be visiting my gynae for my last check up. If heart beat ok, cervix open, gynae will help me induce. Afterwhich, I will admit during midnight and wait for the arrival of my little girl!! Her birthday shld be on 2nd June 2009 which is her EDD (Jenelle also arrived on her EDD), unless she wants to come out today which is very unlikely.

Many asked if I am feeling excited. Hee, nt at the moment, maybe tonight when I am admitted, then I will start to get nervous. At the moment, I only pray that bb is healthy.

Hurt again

2009-03-30T21:59:00.002+08:00

Hurt again!

Yesterday night, Jenelle woke up crying at ard 3am. Soon after, she started to Merlion. In the end, the whole family has to wake up to clear up the mess. After she vomitted, my hubby carried her and pat her to sleep. Finally, after more than half an hour, she went back to sleep again. During the night, she started to cough, so I brought her to see the doc today. Before the visit to the doc, she started to complain that her little finger is painful. The doc examined her and referred us to the Polyclinic for a x-ray, jus in case its fractured. In fact, Jenelle fell down a few days back, but she only cried for a while, so we din really bother. But I din expect that her little finger to turn blue black. At the polyclinic, Jenelle cried and refused to take the x-ray and I could not carry her cos of my pregnancy. My maid could not handle her, so I called Daddy for help. Finally, when Daddy arrived, she is willing to take the x-ray. Luckily, her little finger is nt fractured. Doc advised us to monitor her for a week. Today was a super tiring day for me, having to traveling from one place to another.

Chicken Essence with Love

My hubby came back from work one day and said he wanted to cook some sort of 补品 for me. Then I told him I might not drink it if it does not taste nice. He assured me that I will love it. After preparing and cooking for 3 hrs, I finally got the end product. Its essence of chicken in its purest form!! I was so surprised it tasted sooo nice!!! He learn this from his colleague and will prepare for me every week.

Bye bye Punggol

Happy 2nd Birthday

2009-03-27T22:47:00.000+08:00

Happy 2nd Birthday Darling!!

Jenelle celebrated her 2nd birthday at Swensen cos she likes ice-cream. So we ordered a strawberry ice-cream cake for her. Thanks to yr the presents and ang baos she received for the past few days from uncles, aunties, jiu jiu, yi po, po po, gong gong, tai po and kaka. And surprisingly, she can remember who gave her which present and which ang bao belongs to who! And not forgetting to mention, this lovely dress is air-flown from Australia, thanks to Auntie Wendy!!

Baby Jermaine

It has been some time since I blog.... Feeling lazy as well as tired.... How time flies, Jenelle's baby sister is going to be due in 2 mths time. Many ask me if we have name her. My hubby and I have decided to name her Jermaine. In fact, all along we like this pronounciation but found out that Jermaine is a boy's name so we decided on Jenette or Jeanette earlier. But when we out one day, we saw a girl's name with the spelling Jermaine, so we decided on the name Jermaine again.

With the doctor

2009-02-24T00:10:00.006+08:00

Who can help to change my dressing??

Jenelle's plaster came off and it got very wet in between her fingers. Hence, we decided to bring her to the PD instead. When we got there, the pharmacist told us that they don't have the clear plaster which Jenelle is using. After she consulted the PD, she told us that to visit the Polyclinic tomorrow instead!! The PD didn't even bother to come out and take a look!!! So, we proceed to another family clinic and the same thing happen!!! The doctor does not want to help Jenelle with her dressing.... Finally, we went to another family clinic where the doctor is specialise in minor surgery and dressing of wounds. And indeed, he is very pro!!! Both of us were impressed by the way he treats Jenelle. Dr Koh was very patient and gentle as he washed the blisters and bandaged Jenelle's hand. He also praised Jenelle for sitting down quietly while he wash her hand.

Jenelle has to visit him everyday to change her dressing until the condition improves. And here is the final masterpiece by Dr Koh!!!

Scalded by hot water!!!!!

2009-02-23T00:13:00.004+08:00

Scalded by hot water!!!

Went to visit a showflat today. While the agent was talking to us, my maid carried my girl and walk around. When she was back, my girl was whining while pointing to her hands and she kept saying "pain pain".... Then I realised her left hand was very red!!! When we asked the maid what happen, she said my girl accidentally put her hand into a cup of warm water. I was very angry because I knew its not warm water lor!!! If not, it won't be so red!!! So we quickly rushed home and applied aloe vera gel. Later, she told us that while she was pressing for the hot water with the water dispenser, my girl stretched her hand and touch the hot water. I was also very angry at the same time because she intend to hide from us, even though I told her many times, she must inform us no matter what happens.

Later, we realised the blister became bigger and bigger!!! When we were home, my girl started to cry as it was getting more painful. She cried for more than half an hour non-stop!!! Kept saying "I dun wan, I dun wan!!!!" This is the first time she cried for so long and sounded so painful. My tears started to flow....

Very soon, the blister got bigger. So we quickly had our dinner and rush to KK A&E. The doctor said they had to burst the blister so that it can recover faster. Both me and my hubby was so worried that she will cry when they clean her wound but she didn't. We were so proud of her... Even the doctor and nurses praised her.

This is how it looks like after the nurses wrapped her wound with the plaster.

Lucky.....

SRC Nite

I won a $100 food voucher during the lucky draw at my company dinner last night!! The MC even gave me 2 extra presents, one for Jenelle, one for the bb. So nice of him. Hee... Was so surprise to hear my name cos I have never won anything before during my company dinner. And I thought I heard Table 15 instead of Table 13. But, I have to go back to the restaurant which is at Safra Mt Faber. So far!! And I can only use 1 voucher which is $50, at a time!!

Bz Packing....

2009-02-20T13:31:00.005+08:00

Bz Packing!!

We will be moving to my mum's place on 13 Mar. Last weekend, was busy clearing up my mum place cos I still have a lot of rubbish in the room which has been sitting there for more than 6 years! Finally, all the rubbish cleared. This weekend I will be packing my cabinets and cupboards. My BIGGEST headache is my dog which has nowhere to go yet, still looking for some kind soul to adopt him.

Clap clap....!!!!

2009-02-20T13:22:00.003+08:00

Clap clap....!!!!

Jenelle is toilet train now, except during the night when she is sleeping. During the day or when she is having her afternoon nap, she will say "ju ju". When she did that for the 1st few days, we will clap our hands and praise her. So sometimes, she will purposely say "ju ju" then sit on her potty then expect us to clap our hands even though there is no urine. Sometimes, we are too tired to entertain her and she will take off her shorts on her own and go to the potty. Good Job, En En!

Sick

2009-01-10T13:09:00.002+08:00

Sick and sick.....

Jenelle was sick since last weekend. Intially start with fever, then follow by flu and cough. And this week, I was down with a very bad cough. Within 2 weeks, we visited the doc 4 times! I visited my co. doc and the medicine he gave me does not help at all, so I went to my family doc. I feel better after taking the medicine. Becos of my pregnancy, I cannot control my bladder when I cough. I visited the toilet more than 20 times yesterday and the day before. Really hate it!!! Today, I'm much better. Now, my pelvic bone does hurt a little, not sure if it will affect my placenta. My next appt is 17th, seems so far away. Hope everything is fine.

Boring day

2008-12-28T15:11:00.005+08:00

Gai Gai...

Recently, Jenelle is very sensitive to the word, "Gai Gai." She will sure come to you, nod her head and say Gai Gai Gai Gai..... Want Want.... Yesterday, my hubby feels so bored at home, so he ask Jenelle if she wants to go Gai Gai. What surprise us was, she said "keep" while pointing to the toys on the floor, then she starts keeping her toys. After that, she bring our handphones, house keys, car key and wallet to us!! Afterwhich, we decided to go Downtown East because Jenelle loves to watch the lightings on the Cadbury Ferris Wheel.

50% Surprise!!

Why only 50%? Cos I was asked if I am well enough to go to work and where will I be at HQ for my training. I sort of guess I shld be expecting something from my dear hubby. But I act blur. Indeed, a call came ard 4pm+. And here is what I receive....

Surprise!!!!!!

Anyway, today is going to be very memorable for me. My birthday sets off with a real surprise birthday message from my hubby at 12.01am. Followed by a shower of lemon tea blessing from Secret Recipe, then the big bouquet of roses and lastly a sumptuous dinner at Sakae Sushi Tepanyaki.

What a painful and unlucky day!!!! Anymore?

2008-12-16T18:30:00.003+08:00

What a Painful and Unlucky Day!!! Anymore??

Anna and Derek treat me to lunch at Secret Recipe. After placing our order, we were happily chatting away and suddenly the waiter accidentally pour a whole glass of ice lemon tea on me!!!! I have to hide inside the toilet cubicle for 20 mins while Anna helped me wash and dry my pants... What a memorable 20 mins spent in the toilet without my pants on!! Not only that, we were expecting some discounts from our bill, at least the waive off the 10% service charge. But the best part is, the bill came with an extra charge of a bowl of mushroom soup which is suppose to come with the set lunch!! Speechless......

What a Birthday!!

2008-12-16T08:16:00.003+08:00

Happy Painful Day!

I wake up early in the morning and the bone below my ankle is very painful!! The pain is like a super big bruise, but there is no bruise mark whatsoever. Just recover from my gastric pain and now this. Happy Painful Day for me.

Happy Birthday

2008-12-16T00:01:00.002+08:00

Wow, time really flies! Oops, it's the end of your twenties.

Alot of good things have happened in our life together, not the least was the birth of our beautiful, “full of energy” daughter, Jenelle. Really appreciate of all the things you have done for me and this family.

Thank you for being my wife. Happy birthday dear!

Love you always, Jensen

Gastric Pain!

2008-12-14T20:45:00.003+08:00

Since middle of last night, I start to experience abdominal pain. I thought was due to normal stomachache, so I try to force myself to sleep. Early in the morning, after I clear my bowel, I thought the pain will go away. However, it got worse. The feeling is like contraction pain, I was so worried that something will happen to the bb. I quickly woke my hubby up and ask him to drive me to the hospital. By then, I could hardly walk, have to bend my back. It was really a torture. I knew my gynae is not in Singapore, so another gynae came and check on me. So glad to know that the baby is alright. Gynae said is due to my gastric that's why I am experiencing this pain. Hence, he prescribed some medicine for my pain and given me 2 days MC. Reached home ard 1pm. Everything is alright now, except I still experience some pain ard my lower abdominal especially when I walk.

Not totally back

2008-12-13T12:14:00.004+08:00

HOPE to be back in action.

Many has been asking me to update my blog. But I became super lazy and lethargic after I am pregnant. Yes! I am in my 15 weeks now. EDD on 2nd June 09. Still feeling nauseous during the morning and in the evening. During my 1st pregnancy, this loathsome feeling went off when I am in my 16th weeks. Not sure how long this feeling will last this time. I keep telling my hubby, I want to stop production after this one. I feel tired very easily and my back ache when I stand or sit for too long. How to have 3rd one? Think I'm old liao....

I went back to my gynae, Dr Eunice Chua from TMC then realise she no longer offer package. So, this time round the pre-natal check-up will cost much more. *sigh* During my last visit 2 weeks ago, Dr Chua said this baby 70% might be a girl because no bird bird in between the legs when she did the ultrasound. A bit disappointed initially, but at least Jenelle got a Meimei to accompany her.

Jenelle's Latest Soft Toy Gallery

Jenelle is in good mood today. Allowing me to take photos of her. She normally will walk away when she knows I am going to take her picture.

good news

2008-09-27T23:40:00.000+08:00

Gathering at Kallang
First time using the KPE, wow, we reach Kallang within 15 mins!! Heard another good news that day. 1 more baby coming next year!! Wow!! So perhaps the 4 mths ML does help.

Taka

2008-09-26T21:41:00.000+08:00

Taka Trip
Need to collect something from a shop at Taka so reluctantly went there with maid and Jenelle. Jenelle was cranky on the way to Taka, doesn't want to be in the pram. When I put her down to walk, she cried. So, no choice, I have to carry her. But luckily only for a while, as I managed to distract her and put her slowly in the pram.

Cooking class again!!

2008-09-23T23:35:00.000+08:00

2nd Cooking class!!
This time only Pauline and I went for the class.

The pork chop was very tender even after deep frying. The sweet sour sauce is also very nice.

The lamb stew also not bad, I like the carrots and white radish more than the lamb. Maybe because its not cooked long enough, hence, the meat is not as tender as I expected. But the taste is quite nice. However, I dun really like the cinnamon taste, so if I were to cook this dish, I will not add cinnamon.

The chicken rice is nice but the procedures were super complicated. Too much hassle. But the garlic sauce is very very nice.

Cooking class!!

2008-09-21T21:32:00.004+08:00

Went CC with Pauline, June and Sim Hoon to attend the cooking class with Chef Yong.
Suppose to attend last week also but was tooo busy. Heard the Tiramisu cake last week was fantastic. This week the dishes we prepared are, Shrimp Pork Ball, Laksa and Gado Gado.

Shrimp Pork Ball - the dipping sauce was superb!!!! The meat ball is also very very nice... Its quite simple to do actually.

Cooking Class
Gado Gado - the gravy smells so heavenly!! When the gravy is still cooking, my stomach already growling.

Laksa - my hubby who was particular with food also find the laksa very nice... Planning to cook it myself this coming weekend.

The food are so nice, so we decided to attend the Tues night class as well. As we will be cooking Hainanese Chicken Rice and Lamb stew.... I'm sure will taste v nice also....

Boring Sat

2008-08-30T18:15:00.003+08:00

Boring Sat
Today is a boring day. But also lazy to go out. As usual, a few families came for viewing. Mostly Indians. Din hear much comments from them. But a number of them seems to like our spacious walk-in wardrobe. We have a few buyers who are interested but the price are not to our expectations.

1 more Sat to go and I be back in my office answering phonecalls!! And Wendy will be off to Australia. So funny, both of us going through major changes at the same time, especially for her. Sure going to miss her, cos we have been quite close ever since we partnered each other last year. Going to miss the happy and fun times when we were wrapping up the things to send out to customers, mailing them out and doing deliveries. From zero, we both learn how to start a small scale business and managing it. Both of us enjoy this process very much though we din really earn a lot from it. But now, our name in the forum is sort of establish makes us feel that all is worth it.

Preggy!!

2008-08-30T00:12:00.003+08:00

Good news
A good friend called and asked me for my gynae telephone number. I was so happy for them when I heard abt the news. Hee.... Jenelle goin to have another playmate soon....

After giving birth to Jenelle, I feel that having a child of yr own is like receiving a priceless gift from god. You really need to experience it to understand this special feeling.

Measure Ht

2008-08-29T23:44:00.009+08:00

How tall am I?
Measured Jenelle's height today. Her height is 79cm now. Then Daddy say, wa, Jenelle is more than half of mummy's height already!!! Then I was thinking, yah hor....!!

Learning to speak
When I draw an apple, she will point to it and say "apple!" She also knows how to say "car car", "star star" and "flower" when I draw the pictures for her. She knows how to listen to instructions now. I was packing some parcels to send out, so I ask Jenelle to pass the parcel one by one to my maid. I was surprised she understood my instructions! So now every time she finished her milk, I will ask her to pass the milk bottle to my maid and she did!! She will walk to the door and shout "kaka kaka." When she is hungry, she will also go to the door and shout "kaka nang nang!" Every morning, when she want to watch Barney, she will point to the TV and say "bar bey." Cos she still don't know how to pronounce "ney." : P

Interview

2008-08-26T23:24:00.003+08:00

Interview
Went back CPF for interview today. The interview is at 2.45pm but I reach there around 12.24pm to have lunch with my ex cum colleagues-to-be. While waiting for my turn, I saw quite a number of candidates waiting to be interviewed. 1 of them said he has waited for an hour!!! I knew I have to wait for quite some time, so I went to look for Cheryl. Wa, her office (at 37th floor) has a superb view of the sea!! But she said, she's going to move soon, so no more sea view. After that, I continue to wait for my turn for the interview. 1 of the candidate intro himself and all of us started to chit chat. When they all learn that I used to work here, they all started to interview me... ha ha ha... so funny, but its good to share with them. At least they can be mentally prepared. Finally, after an hour of wait, its my turn. Mr Ng and another HR Manager interviewed me. It doesn't seems like an interview session, more like a chit chat session. We even chat about one of the CSO, Mabel, who participated in the Super Mummy competition on Ch8. Lastly, Mr Ng asked when can I start work, so I told him 8th Sep because I need to settle down my girl first. And the whole interview only lasted 10 mins.

Farewell dinner

Farewell dinner at Seoul Garden
We organised a farewell dinner for Wendy as she be going Australia. Her hubby is posted to Sydney so she and her 2 kids will be going there as well. We had dinner at Seoul Garden Tampines mall. Its nice to catch up and chit chat once in a while, had so many things to chat and update each other. We laughed so loudly, think the table beside us must be quite irritated. :p

genting trip

2008-08-21T00:16:00.006+08:00

First overseas trip
Went Genting over the weekend with Jenelle, hubby, my parents, my brother and maid. The trip was fun but the journey was not. Though we took the Five Star Executive Coach, the 7 hours journey in the bus was quite tiring. Luckily, on our way to Genting, Jenelle slept most of the time. Maybe because she was forced to wake up very early. On the way back, she also slept but not as much. Overall, not as bad as I have imagine. But for me, I had motion sickness on the way back. Felt so terrible, but luckily din throw up. (remind me of my morning sickness when I'm pregnant with Jenelle) We all had an enjoyable time going to casino, arcades, bowling centre and the movie theatre. We watched Wall.E. The show was quite nice and cute. And each movie ticket only cost abt S$7 with a free drink, popcorn and a packet of biscuit!!! We also spent S$45 in the arcade until all of us were shacked and sweaty!! With the tickets, we exchange 2 soft toys for Jenelle.

valuation

2008-08-19T01:06:00.001+08:00

How much?
Our house valuation report is out!! My housing agent called and told me that our valuation is at $390k!! Wow, its considered quite high because we are in the mid floor. Initially, I am still worried if our asking price of $415k is too high, but now, its considered reasonable. Hopefully, we are able to get a buyer soon.

Delivery - Bb slings

2008-08-14T00:16:00.003+08:00

Littlepods Baby Slings
Time flies... My FIL has passed away for 49 days liao... Went to the temple to pray early in the morning. Afterwhich, rush back to tidy up the baby slings and print out the invoices and the new contract with TMC and Spring. Though tired and busy but very happy that the baby sling is selling well at TMC. So hopefully, the sales will improve with this new batch of slings.

Accident

2008-08-05T22:10:00.000+08:00

Horrifying Accident!
Received a shocking news from my friend via sms. Alvin and Edna had met with an accident on Friday!! Both of them are quite seriously injured. So Pauline, Xuehong and I went to visit them at NUH. Edna need to have a few operations as she suffered multiple fractures. Alvin's injuries not as serious but his finger need to be operated. Edna has to lie on bed cos she fractured her hip bone. Alvin is able to move around but with difficulty. Alvin told us the cab hit his car on the side and drag his car until it hit the lamp post!! Soooo scary!! Luckily both of them alright now. Can imagine the trauma they went through. Makes me think of the accident we had in April. Though we only suffered minor injury but the impact when the van hit our car (causing the rear window to shatter and the back of the car dented) still remains vividly in my mind. Thank god, everyone is alright now.

dog

Your baby can read VCD
I bought the starter VCD during the Motherhood Fair at Expo some time back. So have been letting Jenelle watch the VCD since then. It really helps in her vocabulary. She now knows to point to her nose, mouth, etc. She normally watches her Barney VCD and "Your baby can read" VCD. She is soooooo familiar with the VCDs that she knew when the show is GOING to end soon. She will shout and point at the TV so that you will restart it for her. She now knows how to read the word "dog". Way to go, darling!!

Furby bite!

2008-08-03T20:17:00.002+08:00

Furby
This afternoon, my dog bite my auntie while she is trying to stroke him on his head. He bite for quite a while before he let go. Everyone was stunned. My hubby was carrying him then. My auntie brought her friends to take a look at Furby because they are interested to adopt him. We have been pondering whether to give him to someone we know, so that we can still go and visit him or to bring him to SPCA. We are planning to sell our house and then shift to my mum's place. My mum is strongly against the idea of keeping dogs. Hence, we have to give him away, in the event the house is sold. My dog was very obedient before Jenelle was born. All our attention shifted to Jenelle, which is the main reason why he became like this. Come to think of it, its our fault also. After much thought, we have decided to send him to SPCA if we shift to my mum place. I feel sooooo bad that my auntie got hurt. Hope that her wounds are not serious.

1st time in the pool

2008-07-24T23:47:00.001+08:00

Pool Day
Today is Jenelle's first swimming trip!! Auntie drove us to her club near Vivo for the swim. The scenery is so nice! Thanks to Wendy and Auntie, if not for them, I don't know when I will have the chance to bring Jenelle for a swim. Initially, she has a bit of phobia. After playing water with her for a while, I slowly coaxed her into using the float. When she got into the float, she started to walk around the pool on her own!! Not long after, she started to hum some alien tune while she continued "driving" around the pool in her float. Because its in the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot and I am half roasted now.

cold cold

2008-07-21T22:47:00.002+08:00

Cold cold
My brother brought us (Jenelle, me and my maid) out for dinner just now with my parents. My mother was carrying a plastic with 2 bottles of cold drinks inside. While in the car, Jenelle touched the plastic bag and then she blurted out,"cold cold"!!!!! We were sooooo surprised!!! Then all of us started laughing....

Theres free popcorn, candy floss, ice cream, biscuits, sweets, curry puff, burgers, carrot cake, etc. But of course, the Q is quite long, since they are all free!! There are also many performances by the chidren from the neighbouring schools and part of the road is closed just for this event. This carnival has been going on for the past few years but I did not attend, this is the first time I went down and join in the fun! Theres a few guppy pond where we are allowed to catch the guppies with the net they provide us. But we have to pay $2. I managed to catch about 10 and of course, they will join my gold fishes in the tank.

Went to Charlene's son 1 year old birthday party just now. Its at Aranda Country Club. The unit is quite big, with a living room and 2 bedrooms. Kayden has grown so big and he already knows how to walk. He's so tired, fell asleep after cutting his cake. Luckily, he managed to tahan till then.

pasir ris park

2008-07-18T22:59:00.000+08:00

Pasir Ris Park
Saw in one of the mummy's blog that she brought her children to a kids kampung at Pasir Ris Park. Today, Daddy's not working, so I suggests we go to Pasir Ris Park and have a look. In the end, we realised the kids kampung is no longer there! So we just walk around the park. Its quite boring though.

wendy's place

2008-07-17T23:47:00.001+08:00

Tiring week
Been quite tired this week from mon to thu. My parents stall need my help, so I go over at abt 5pm to help out till abt 8pm. I think its good for Jenelle to mingle around with other children so I left Jenelle and maid with Wendy. Furthermore, Wendy's mother place is very near to Kovan. Thanks to Wendy's mum for preparing sumptous meal for Jenelle everyday. Glad to hear that Jenelle enjoys playing with Kayla and Kieren, though she is still very demanding. Must teach her how to share toys with other children.

cruise - aquarius

2008-07-17T14:39:00.004+08:00

SuperStar Aquarius
The NG Family went onboard the ship last weekend with parents and siblings. This is the first time we boarded Aquarius. This ship is smaller than Virgo, which we have boarded many times.

I still remember the last time I boarded Virgo was when I was 4mths pregnant with Jenelle. We had dinner at Noble House and was having sharks fin. After dinner, I had "evening" sickness and threw up all the sharks fin I ate! The feeling is sooo terrible! I think Jenelle don't like sharks fin.

My ang's boss booked a Junior Suite and she let us have the suite for this trip. The room is so big and nice!! In fact, we had another 2 normal cabins but all of us (6 pple) decided to squeeze in this suite. We layed 2 comforters on the floor and my ang, Jenelle and me slept on the floor. The bed is too high, afraid that Jenelle will fell down, so my brother and mother slept on the bed instead. My maid slept on the sofa and my dad went to sleep in the normal cabin.

We brought Jenelle's favourite Barney VCD onboard, as usual, totally engross on the show. She was soooo happy during the trip.

We saw Patricia Mok onboard and realised that she has a show on the 2nd night. My sis-in-law got 3 tickets. So my ang, my brother and I went for the show. She is so funny! Make funny faces, do catwalks, dance, etc. Really went all out to make the audience laughed.

Though we enjoyed ourselves very much but don't think I will want to board Aquarius again. Heard that Virgo will be coming back end of the year, so shall wait till then.

Batam Trip

2008-07-09T14:51:00.009+08:00

Batam Trip

Went Batam on 22 June with my parents and brother to attend my cousin's wedding. My dad is from Batam so most of his family are there. We only went there to stay for a night. Though its a short trip, but its quite fruitful. We manage to shop at 2 shopping malls and the Tees are so cheap!!

At my uncle's house when the bride and groom arrives

Provision shop owned by my uncle - just next to his house, saw many titbits and small toys I used to eat and play when I was young!!

We stop over along the road to buy durian and rambutans.

The hotel we stayed was also not bad though a bit ulu. My dad know the hotel boss, so he gave us a 60% discount!! Hopefully, can go there to shop again!!

We also went to my Ah Ma's house and my uncle's house. It may look good from the front door (2 storey house) but when I go the back door, I can't imagine. The back door faces the sea, it may sounds good but its quite dirty. My uncle told us, they will just throw whatever rubbish outside!! OMG!!

The wedding dinner is a bit different from here. Its more like a 七月歌台 to me. (Though sounds a bit inauspicious) Luckily, I did not bring Jenelle there. Throughout the dinner, there will be someone singing on the stage with a live band. And its soooo loud!! To me, its quite a torture actually. And also, we waited for abt 2 hours before the dinner starts!! The bride and groom don't go to each table for photo taking. Instead, we have to wait till the end of the dinner and take together with the whole family on the stage. And mind you, there are a lot of people lor. Now then I know I have so many relatives in Batam.

Suntec Shop

2008-07-09T14:42:00.004+08:00

Closing of Suntec Shop
We have decided to end the business at Suntec because of the low human traffic. While, we were packing, Jenelle was busy walking around with 2 small bags, (as usual, the auntie style)as though she is shopping on her own.

I'm Back!!

Finally back to blogging!!
And thanks for all the well wishes and also those who have contributed to my FIL's white gold.
Life's back to normal now.

Don't know why has been very lethargic for the past 1 week.
Hopefully my lazy bug has left me for good!!

Ever since, my FIL passed away, we have been thinking whether to sell our house and shift to my mum's place or continue staying here. The price is good if we sell now, but really can't bear to leave this house. Headache!!

Demise

2008-06-26T03:44:00.004+08:00

For the past few days, my maid has been telling me that my FIL is not eating very well. Yesterday, I saw that he cannot even walk and sit properly. He was feeling very weak. Then at night, I saw him sleeping with his legs hanging at the side of his bed, body on the bed. I have never seeen him sleep like this before, but because my maid was already asleep, so I did not do anything. At this time, I still see that he is breathing. After a while, I saw my maid awake and trying to put his legs up onto the bed. She saw me and asked why ah gong's hand so cold. I quickly call my hubby to take a look and check his heartbeat. My hubby told me to call the ambulance immediately and he contacted his siblings. The medic came and pronounced my father in law dead......

Milestone

2008-06-19T15:03:00.003+08:00

Jenelle knows how to say "nang nang" aka milk when she is hungry now. She also know how to call "Pa Pa" and sometimes "Ma Ma." Before this, when my hubby was trying to teach her "Pa Pa", he would point to himself and say "Pa Pa." In the end, the result is, Jenelle will point to herself and call "Pa Pa." We are so amused by her action! Its only recently, then she know how to point to my hubby and call him "Pa Pa."

Airport

2008-06-19T14:54:00.002+08:00

T3
Went to airport with 公公，婆婆，舅舅，Mummy and Daddy on Monday. We went there for dinner at 公公 and 婆婆 favourite restaurant, 店小二。

Realised something different about Jenelle? Yeah, she had her hair cut last week. This is her 2nd hair cut, and its a terrible experience. She doesn't want to sit down and kept crying non-stop, so no choice, me and my hubby I had to take turns to carry her. At the end of the cut, all of us were full of hair.

2008-06-09T12:54:00.002+08:00

"Barney, Let's imagine" LIVE performance at Suntec!
Brought Jenelle to the Barney show together with Wendy and Ching Ching Family yesterday. I only bought 1 ticket, just in case, Jenelle make noise during the show and wanted to go out. So my hubby and my brother, who went with us, waited outside. She did not take any afternoon nap, so I guess most probably she will be very cranky. Surprisingly, Jenelle managed to tahan throughout the show and she really enjoyed herself very much!!
