Tree Planting & Nov birthday Bash – 02/11/08

Since DS have recovered from his seasick motion, decided to bring him along to our Company tree planting event at Sengkang Riverside Park. However, when it was time to leave the hse, DS was still sleeping very soundly so I told DH that I would just attend the event myself. After finishing planting my tree, DH called and said that he have arrived with DS. So quickly walked to the main road to join them and also roamed around the mini carnival there. Shortly after, we went back to my company tent for photo taking session and also to collect our lunch. As it was scorching hot that day, we decided to go back home and enjoyed our lunch instead.

After lunch, we all decided to have our afternoon nap since we will be attending the Nov birthday bash at one of the forum mummies place later in the evening . At first, I was quite worried as it was raining very heavily but luckily the rain stopped just as we were about to leave the hse. DH drove me to buy the famous Jalan Kayu otah and after buying, we quickly rushed over to the party venue but we lost our way and luckily, Zhen DH managed to direct us to the correct street and we finally found the correct way *Ended up, actually DH close friend also stayed at the condo*

When we reached there, most of the families were already there and I so happy to see the mummies and kiddos ago again. There were two new families whom I just known and met at the gathering but didn’t get to chat with them as I was busy feeding DS his dinner. For DS, he was busy playing with the toys and also watching TV. Soon, it was cake cutting session and we let DS wore the party hat. He simply loved the hat and also the cake singing session. Last but not least, we did the gift exchange and DS got himself books and also jigsaw puzzle. We left around 9pm and our family really ourselves at the birthday bash. *Thanks Zhen & DH for organizing and the hard work*

Batam Trip – 27/10/08

Brought DS to his first overseas trip and we went over to Batam with DH & family. So a total of 20plus people went to the day trip. I woke up at 5plus in the morning to start preparing DS barang barang (boiled hot water, bring cold water etc) and after I have finish, woke DH and DS. We tried to give DS his first milk feed but maybe because it was too early so ended up DS vomited everything and we have to rush to bath DS and also do the cleaning up. Reached PIL place at 7am and everybody was waiting for us.. so without further delay, we set off to HabourFront to board the ferry at 8am.

Aboard the ferry, DS was quite happy at first but maybe he woke up too early, he started to doze off half way through the 45mins journey. Finally reached Batam and DS was so cute..he saw those custom officer in uniform and he even salute to them. So after we got through the custom clearance, we boarded a bus to start our sight seeing tour.

First, we went over to a bridge that was supposing to be a landmark in Batam. Our tour guide allowed us to go down to take pics but the moment we got down the bus, we were swarmed by sellers trying to sell their wares. Ended up, we just brought a rattle toy for DS as he was fascinated by it. Just as we were happily taking pics, DS started to vomit and he dirtied his clothes. Brought him up the bus to rest but sad to sad, throughout the trip, he was still vomiting very badly (so didn’t have mood to take pics). Moreover, DH was having seasick too so couldn’t help much to take care of DS. So throughout the trip, me & DS were confined in the bus as others was happily eating, shopping etc.

Things got better in the evening, when we went to our last stop at a shopping mall. DS looked slightly better and was playing again. As I didn’t want to go home empty ended, decided to buy DS a pair of jeans and also a polo tee for myself. Remaining money was spent on Doughnuts, food and tips for the tour guide and bus driver. Soon, it was time for us to board the ferry back to home. The journey back was much worse and the sea was rough thus the ride was very bumpy. *Poor DS vomited again*

Overall, we didn’t enjoyed ourself at all (as the whole family ended up sick) and doctor said that DS have suffered from seasick thus kept vomiting. Think our next family trip will have to travel by air..*Hopefully soon*

Collection of passport.

Hmmm..have got this entry on my computer for such a long time but yet I forgotten to post it up..In the end, still decided to post it up just for memory purposes (for future use)..So more back-dated entries to come..hahaha.

Finally we got DS his passport and we collected it on Sat (18/10/08) at the ICA Building. Made an appointment at 11.30am but still we have to wait for about half an hour before we can collect it. After that, we went for lunch at the market before we walked over to Kandahar Street to buy 2 rolls of delicious Kaya cake. As it was closed to DS nap time, we decided to shop around Bugis Junction so that it will be cooler for DS to sleep in his pram. However, DS was so distracted by the surrounding that he just didn’t want to sleep at first but while DH was buying clothes for himself, DS finally slumbered into his dreamland. So we continue our shopping at BHG as they will have 20% storewide sales. Brought a longer bolster , bolster case x 3 and 2 tumbler for DS.
After a while, DS woke up from his nap and since it was drizzling outside, we decided to have a quick bite at The Soup Spoon but DS doesn’t like the Mushroom Soup that I have ordered, instead he preferred my wrap instead. Waited for the rain to stop and we walked all the way from Bugis to Plaza Singapura. Wanted to buy something from JL as they will have 20% sales for card members too but me and DH forgotten to bring out our cards so no choice, we just roam ard PS. As the weather was cold, decided to eat Korean Ramen at the foodcourt nearby PS. After my hearty dinner, its home sweet home again.

First Birthday Present

Went out to Punggol last night to collect DS advance birthday present from a friend..DS was so excited about his new toy (Megablock toy car set) that upon reaching home he kept asking me to open up the toy for him to play, but I intend to open only on his actual birthday so now he can see, look and touch nia.... Hahaha.

P.S.: Thank you my dear friend for the lovely present. Hope to meet up with you & your xiao baobei soon. Pics will be posted soon

23th Month Milestone

Wow..my baby is really no longer a baby liao (but, when you asked DS his name, he will reply ‘baby’) , 1 more mth to go and he will turn 2. At 23th mth, he is of course more mischievous, he knows how to do a lot of funny facial expression and he is able to understand instructions better. He knows that when I take the cane out, he must behave else he will get a beating (of course, now he still haven’t kena wacked but if he’s really naughty, I wouldn’t hesitate to cane him coz I know spare the rod, spoilt the child).

I wouldn’t be holding a party for him this year but will be having mini celebration for him instead. First, will be held on 02/11/08 (Sun), which is organized by Nov forum mummies. I haven’t been in touch with some of them and I really look forward for the gathering. Then on 09/11/08 (Sun) afternoon, my sis and I will celebrate our kiddos birthday together since both kiddos birthday are only 3 days apart. After that, I will need to buy another cake to bring to PIL place to celebrate again at night. DS will need to blow the candles 3 times….Then on DS actual birthday, DH & I will bring him out for some fun.. Hope DS will have fun and like all the arrangement I have for him.

Whole Family is Sick

Oh no..This week is a lousy week for us..The reason? Me, DH and DS have been sick since Monday. I have got bad flu, cough and lots of phlegm. DS have got fever (which luckily have subsided), running nose, cough with phlegm. DH also have got phlegm and chest pain. ~OMG~ The virus is in attacking all of us and making us sick.
Brought DS to see PD twice this week and also visit our family GP, total medical bill for DS this week: $212. However, just hopes that this amount paid will let my DS recover faster and get stronger. His weight drops again. Last Sat his weight was 11.2kg, then yesterday when we brought him to PD, it was 10kg. So he lost a total of 1.2kg within 5 days!! So heartache to see him sick and slim down again. Pray hard for DS, DH and myself for speedy recovery.

To the beach

Since the weather was good, we decided to bring DS to the beach for some fun..So after DS breakfast, we quickly bath him and off we went to East Coast park. We also invited SIL & family to join us too since more people = more fun. We reached there first so off we went to play the sand and water. At first, when I took off his shoes to let his little feet touch the sand, he just refused and kept asking me to put on his shoes. But we quickly let him played with the water and he enjoyed it so much that he forgotten about his shoes..

SIL and BIL came shortly and they played with DS and even tried to built a sandcastle. However, the afternoon sun is just too hot for us to continue playing and so off to Mac for lunch (along the way, I brought a float from one of the stall there and so I think I will be bringing DS for his swim soon). After lunch, DH wanted to ride bicycle but I was against it as it was way too hot. Ended up, we went to Parkway for a shopping trip but DS was so grouchy as he was already very tired.. He slept all the way from East Coast to my MIL place at AMK...
