Yipee..DD is now 15th mths plus. Time and Tide really waits for no man as she is growing up everyday, it just seems like yesterday she was born. My baby have now become a toddler and before I forgot all her milestone till date, let me blog it down..
DD 15mth milestone..
- Able to walk steadily and independently and at times seems to able to run..hahaha (she started her first baby steps on 23/12/2010)
- She loves to climb up and down the stairs (need to hold both her hands for that task)
- Know how to squat and when you ask her to jump, she will do the jump action (but still cannot lift both her legs off the ground).
- Have successfully got rid of her pacifier for about 2mths (she actually refused to have her pacifier when she have had her serious flu in Dec 10)
- As at now, she have got 6 teeth.. (4 ontop, 2 bottom) but can see 2 more spouting out soon on her lower gum (and she have been drooling quite a lot recently)
- Can say the word ‘bear’ and recently ‘baby’. Also understand simple words and action like “hug”, “kiss”, “kai kai”, “come”, “mum-mum”, “sleep”, “yes” , “no” etc.
- When you tell her going “kai kai”, she will go to the door there to find her shoes and ask you to put on for her.
- When ask her to throw away things, she will bring to the dustbin and throw away.
- Know where her hair, nose and ear.
- Can scream real loud when her brother tried to snatch her things or if things don’t go her way.
- She loves to hold conversation with people with her baby language
I love to see my gal growing up and learning new things everyday. When she kiss me that moment, it is simply priceless.

CNY 2011
In a few days time, we will be ushering the year of the Rabbit. This year, DD will be able to get involved in the reunion dinner as she is now older already. She have also master how to do the 'Gong Xi Gong Xi' gesture. I have also brought her a hairband which I think she will look cute in it. DS clothings are also all settled.
Now at 14mth plus, she is able to walk more steps on her own and seeing how she wibble wobble to balance herself is so kawaii. I think by next mth, she should be able to 'chase' her brother. However, I must admit that her temper is much worse than DS and when she wants, she really wants..Hmmmm..sounds horrible and I don't know if I can cope with the 2 kids alone.
Tomorrow, will be a busy day as I have to wake up early to run errands and ensure that we finished our task before 3pm plus. Let me hereby wishes everybody "恭喜发财。身体健康。万事如意 :)"

Bye Bye 2010
I'm glad Year 2010 had gone and it's a brand new year and I hope this year would be an awesome year for me & my family.
The kids have been taking turns to fall since Christmas Eve. First, it was DS who caught the stomach flu and so he had to stay at home with us while his dad went ahead with his Kukup trip. Then DD fell sick on Christmas day just when I thought I can celebrate the day happily with my family. Brought her to the doc on Boxing Day as her temp was 39.4. After med and constant sponging, she was ok by evening.
Juz when we thought she had recovered, she started having running nose and cough and fever. We rushed to KK when she started to vomit on New Year Eve and I told DH that few years ago (year 2007), we also rushed DS to KK on New Year Eve..so now history repeated itself..
The wait at KKH was still ok and they even took blood test for DD. She now weighs 8.4kg and like DS, her birth weight was good but don't know why both my kids actually 'shrink'after that.Luckily, the blood test was normal and doc told me that DD got very bad running nose and that caused the cough and fever. DD also got a very big ulcer so that caused her to have difficulty in swallowing liquids but we must still keep her hydrated. We left the hospital after spending nearly 2 hours there and we managed to reach home in time before New Year Day.
Looking back, let me recall DD at 13mths, 2 weeks and 4 days old milestone..
- Knows who is her Gor Gor, Papa, Mama and Auntie.
- When we asked her to give things, she will give.
- Ask her to dance and she will shake her head.
- When asked her if she wants things, she will nods her head and when we tell her no no, she will shake her head.
- She knows how to walk a few step independently.
- Can climb up the take or sofa herself.
- When she sees her papa sleeping, she will put her index finger to her mouth and do the 'sshhh'gesture.
- When she takes the house key, she would point to the door and want to open the gate with the keys.
- She will hug and kiss a soft toy when asked her to.
- Loves to wave to people and do the bye bye and flying kiss action.
I just can't wait to see more of her milestone and looking foward to blog all her 'little'achievement. As for DS, he is now more outspoken and can express himself better. Now that he is in K1, I hope I can see more improvement from him.
Therefore, I hope that in Year 2011, I wish everybody Pink of Health esp for the kids and that the kids will be happy always.

Christmas is coming
Christmas will be here in about a weeks time..Let me first blog about my kids birthday party on 14/11 (Sun)
The day started around 8am for us. DH and I decorated the place with banner and ballons..Next after DD had her shower, we let her choose the 7 things (book, money, scissors, pen, drumstick, calculator and ruler) that will represent her future..and she choose drumstick (but I forgotten what it means already)..Her bro used to chose book and he really is into reading so I think my DD will be a glutton next time..haha
After lunch, we headed of to collect DS ice cream cake from Swensen's first. As it was raining heavily, DH decided to drop me back home first and he will collect DD cake from Pine Garden himself.
Luckily, the rain stopped shortly and DH came back with DD cake soon after. It wasn't long before the food and the guests came. It was just a simple family gathering and I was glad that the guest enjoyed the food and cake. Most importantly, I think my two kids have a great time that night as so many people sang birthday song to them..It was definately a wonderful nite.

Milestones
Time really flies..In about a month's time, DD will be turing 1 and DS will be 4. As usual, I think I will celebrate the kids birthday at my humble house and will be inviting family members since my house is kinda small to invite my friends too. I will be ordering ice cream cake for DS and for DD, I am still thinking though time is running out. Now that DD is already 11mths, let me recall her milestone till date.
- Able to stand on her without support for a few seconds.
- Walk a few baby steps with support although she still prefers to crawl as her speed is super fast.
- Able to nod and shake her head.
- When we said "bye bye", she will open and close her fingers and when asked to do a flying kiss, she will put her hand over her mouth.
- Knows how to say papa, mum-mum, ah pek..
- Loves music and likes to dance.
- She knows how to push herself around the house in her kiddy car.
- When she wants to go down from the bed, she will turn her body to ensure her legs touches the ground first.
- Able to throw and roll a ball.
- Recognised everybody family members and will pass things to them when asked to.
- Do funny face expression such as smile till her eyes are all closed up, etc.
- Climb up the window grills *faints*
Can't wait for my DD to start walking but that means more tiring to look after her as she is more active compare to her brother but every minute spent with her is worth it for she is such a little sweetie pie.
For DS, I can also see a lot of improvement in him. Both my sis commented that he can express himself better when he is on the phone. Then DS can also go to the toilet on his own and he is so much independent now.
I just love both the kids to the max..

The kids are sick
Again..the kids are sick!! DS caught the fever virus first and his sister caught from him too (never ending cycle). Brought DD to see doc today and her fever was around 39.4. Was so worried as she was still young thus can easily develop fits. After medication, her fever came down but she still feel feverish. She super grouchy today and cries at the slightest thing. Just hope that she can recover fast and that both kids will be stronger and healthier too :)

Memories Lane
Ooops..its been months since I did my last update..I didn’t know where to start as so many things have happened during the last 1 mth plus.. Ok..time to recall the events..
26 to 27 June 2010 (Sat & Sun)
DH went to Malaysia with his brother during the weekend but because DS still have his phonics class, I decided to give it a miss but I need to bring DS to class all alone. We took taxi instead of driving as I have no confident in my skills at all! The taxi fare was so ex but luckily, I managed to con DH some $$ before he left for his trip. At night, I invited my sis over for dinner and we had yummy chicken rice.
DH was back from his trip and he brought home kwuay, crackers, shoes for DS and waist pouch for himself..but sad to say, nothing for me and DD coz he said nothing much for the gals.. *sigh..think next time will juz go for shopping trip on my own*..
3 July (Sat)
We got tickets for the NDP rehearsal and so I decided to forgo 1 week of the phonics lesson. As it was drizzling throughout the whole evening plus it’s the 1st time mass rehearsal, there was not much atmosphere in it. Overall, didn’t enjoy the parade as much as I hope I will be.
4 July (Sun)
We brought the kids to Sentosa beach for a day of play in the sand. DS of course enjoyed himself very much..Had a fun time digging the sand and playing in the water. We brought DD to play water too but she was to young to have fun. Nevertheless, it’s the family bonding time that I treasure with them :)
11 July 2010 – 16 July 2010.
Got a complimentary baking lesson at Genius R Us @ City Square Mall through a lucky draw. Glad that DS enjoyed his bakery class as thought it will be more enjoyable for gals. Roamed around the shopping center before we proceed back to MIL place. At night, we ealized that DS started to have spots on his hands and foot. He also complain mouth painful..
Brought him to see doc again in the morning as heat monster was back. Doctor diagnosed it was HFM…OMG!! I prayed hard that he will recover in time becoz !7 July, we are going to USS. He only had a few spots but his ulcers in his mouth was causing more discomfort. Luckily, he recovered within 4 days and we brought him back to the doctor to certified that he is ok. USS here we come..
17 July 2010 (Sat)
Universal Studio…It’s the day that I have been looking forward but the day started with a heavy rain DH also complain of gastric pain. However, after medication, he was much better and was able to join us. We had sumptuous breakfast with my colleague before we went to explore the Theme Park on our own. We didn’t take many rides as I was busy queuing to taking photos with those characters. Managed to watch the 4D Shrek Show though but DS didn’t enjoy it as he was frighten by the movement of the chair.
Anyway, we stayed at the Theme Park till 10 plus to watch the fireworks. Think the rides and show were too thrilling for DS for he kept having nightmare on the night itself plus he even wet the bed (think too tired to wake up to go toilet). The theme park was worth going and I will definitely return but only when the kids are older so that they will be able to truly have fun and enjoy themselves.
28 July 2010 (Wed)
DS was not feeling well as he was coughing badly. Decided to take leave and brought him to the PD. Brought DD along as she needed to take her jab too. PD diagnosed DS with mild bronchitis so he needed to take the neb. Luckily, he didn’t struggle and after the puff, he was feeling better. DD was 8mth plus and she weighs 7.8kg and her height is already 70cm. Left the clinic with $300 plus poorer but health is all that matters.
29 August 2010 (Sunday)
Brought the 2 kids & maid out to the Zoo. It have been so long since we last went (think about 2 years ago). Anyway, the trip is more enjoyable to DS as we brought him to the water playground to play and also he likes to see those animals. However, due to the rain, our journey was slower thus we miss quite a few animals’ shows. Luckily, we will be going again in October so next time, I will definitely go watch the shows then explore the zoo.
10 Sept 2010 (Friday)
It’s a PH so we decided to go to Sentosa beach and also RWS with PIL, SIL & family. However, the day also started with drizzling and so it caused lots of inconvenienced to us. Nevertheless, DS again enjoyed himself at the beach because he loves playing with the sand. As for DD, she was busy looking everywhere and being carried around by so many people. It was indeed a fun filled family gathering outing. Looking forward for our next trip again.

DD Injection & Review
Just came back from the PD. Today, brought DD for her injection & review. At 7mths and 7 days old, she now weighs 7.35kg and her height is 68.4cm. PD gave her 6-in-1 and her pneumococcal injection and she had to have her buttock poke twice. PD said she can start on porridge any time as she is now eating cereal & puree food already. However, I don't think I will start her on porridge till she is about 8th mth plus ba.
Oh, my poor little gal had a fall 2 weeks back. She fell from my bed to the floor which is luckily not that high compare to last time DS fall. She crawled from the mattress to the bed and went to the other side of the bed and landed on the floor. Had a bad cried and a bump on her head. Hmmm, her crawling speed is now so much faster and well developed that sometimes, she will crawl from the living room to the kitchen to look for my maid. *faints* We really have to keep a hawk eye on her everytime. The only thing she doesn't have now is her tooth..She have been drooling and bitting since 4mth plus that I thought she should have her first tooth out soon but till date, no sign of her little tooth spouting out.
Let me recall eher milestone till date (7mth plus)
- able to recognise people. Likes to play and disturb DS
- able to pull herself to stand position
- from crawling position, able to sit up herself
- likes to make clicking of tongue sound
- when she doesn't get what she wants, will show angry face by stiffing up her body and 'scolding' you by using her baby language
- likes to make sound by saying 'ba ba ba' or 'da da da'
- likes her food served fast
I think that's about all ba but watching her grow day by day is such a joy and I really enjoy and savour every precious moment with her.

Happy Me :)
YES!! I am so happy becoz my blog is up again. I have been wanting to post for so long but somehow I have problem signing in. It even says that my blog have been deleted and I was so upset becoz DS & DD growing up stages have been recorded here and all the wonderful & precious pictures are also in it. Glad that everything have been resolved.
Let's see, DD is now coming to 7mths and I have started her on cereral when she turned 6mths old (15/05/10) and she simply loves her food. So far, I am starting slow on her food variety compare to DS time as many ppl said it is better to start later. DD can also crawl now but she is crawling using her tummy as it can help to'push' her forward. Whenever, she saw DS playing with toys, she would also want to get her little hands on it. But maybe she is much more active now, I think she does look so pui now compare to last time. Of course, healthy is more impt.
As for DS, since he started school, he began to sing songs & rhythms more often in Chinese. Also, sometimes his wacky action & answers never fails to make you laugh. He is also 100% off diapers at night now but yesterday, he actually wet the bed :( and the whole family have to wake up and clean the mess. But ever since DS started with i-creative learner, I became more busy as I have to help him with his homework, scrap book and also the flash cards. For flash cards, it is the most difficult as he always have a problem recognisation and remembering the words. It's very stressful for both of us. Luckily, DS is having 3 weeks break before my stress comes again.
Yeah..2molo is a holiday so I can spend more time with my children & relax myself. Pics will be uploaded soon. Let's all enjoy the long weekend.

Review & Injection
Just brought DD for her injection and review. Now that she is 4mths & 3weeks old, she weighs 6.6kg & her height is 66.5 cm. I thought she was heavier than DS but when I brought out DS health booklet to compare...DS weighs slightly more even when DS assessment was done much earlier than DD. Never mind, being healthy is more impt. DD now can roll over at a much faster speed and somehow, she always managed to turn herself around the bed...She is also trying to pull herself up. So fast, DD will be 5mths in about a few days time.
As for DS, he has so far attended 2 lessons with i-creative learner. So far, he is ok but when its come to flash card, I always have a problem trying to get him remember the words and as a result, both of us felt so stress up. I really felt bad because I should have been more patient with him but its really fustrating trying to get him to remember the words even after many tries. Arrghh..this is start of education pressure.
For me, I am back to office for about a mth plus now. However, when I just returned back to work, I caught a fever bug that lasted for about a week. The fever was so high that my temperature soared up to 39.4. The doc thought I had dengue fever. Luckily, it turned out to be false alarm but I had also passed the fever bug to DD and ended up, she had also had a high fever two weeks back. So after this episode, I just wish for my family good health and happinese :)

Back to work
Wow..CNY have come & go in just a wink. Even my 16 weeks of maternity leave is all used up and I will be back to work tomorrow. Kinda of feeling a bit sad coz I love lazing around the house, playing with the kids & doing nothing at times.. But no choice, have to eat plus now with so many mouth to feed.. I just have to chase away my lazy bug in me.
DS have settled quite well in school now. He now no longer whined when goes to school *cross fingers* and he have made some remarkable progress in communication skills. Though, his pronunciation is still a big problem but at least he can express himself better now and his wacky replies at times never fails to make everyone laugh. Even since he went to school, we can see he has grown to be much more independent. He can go toilet on his own now and he is diapers-free at night too. He is able to brush his teeth on his own and knows how to bath himself too (but not very clean lor..hahaha). He now feeds himself during meal times and goes to bed early too.. However, he still have to hone his motor skill as he is still not able to hold his writing materials in the correct way.
As for DD, she is now 3mths plus and one side of her head looks flatter than the other and also, her neck is still not steady yet so we are now trying to give her lots of tummy time. Hopefully, she will improve by her next visit to the PD. Now DD just loves to put things inside her mouth so now we have to watch her like a hawk. DD have also done her FIRST roll over on 2nd day of CNY (15.02.09) and I was glad to have witness this physical development. But after her first attempt, she just refused to do it again until recently she started rolling over again.
Arrgh..I will definitely miss both the kids when I get back to work.
Here's some of the kids recent pics :)

Also, this year, beside the usual relative house visiting, we will also be going to DH friend's gathering (details to be updated). Very fast, tomorrow DD will be 3 mths old already.. Let me recall her progress till date
- able to flip to her tummy if lay her sideways.
- loves to talk to people and have her gor gor around her

Busy with activities
I know I haven't been blogging very frequently (as usual) because since DS went to school, I have been busier. Busier because DS is sick more frequently and worse, he brought the virus home too and to prevent DD from being sick, I have to ensure that DS dun get to close to DD. But still DD was oso sick with flu and cough in Jan and seeing how she struggled with her med makes me so heartpain. Also, since DS is in school during the day time, DH and I makes use of this time to go out. We've been to Resort World, Chinatown, Bishan etc and shopping during weekday is such an enjoyment as we can avoid the crowds.
Very fast, DS is in school for 1mth plus but he still refused to go to school every morning. We have to use many ways to coax him to school. As for his performance in school, the feedback tha I've gotten from the teachers are that DS is a very soft spoken boy and he doesn't interact much with his friends. He also don't like to write or colour and he still can't hold his writing materials well (teacher have to hold his hand to guide him). Hmmm, getting very worried for DS as I also think DS pronounciation is not very accurate too. Maybe, I haven't been teaching him much as now we still have DD to look after. I just hope he will improve and overcome the above problems as times goes by.

DS starts school
Yes..this is my 1st entry for Year 2010. DS have started going to cc but as usual, he still can't adapt to school. Though its already week 2 but he is still crying whenever he sees us leave the school. But no choice, he have to learn how to adapt and hopefully he will outgrown his separation anxiety soon. So now with DS in school, me and DH have more time for ourself. We would sometimes go shopping, watch movie and even swimming (back to par tok days)
As for DD, she is coming to 2 mths already. She loves people to talk to her and she will responses back.. Some of the photos I took for the kids recently..

Check up
Went for blood test and gynae check up last Sat (10/10/09). Also, happened that my 2nd sis was there for blood test and we had lunch together at Ajisen (Thks BIL for the delicious lunch treat). Since I had nothing on, we roamed around Compass Point for a while before I went for my gynae check up. Baby is ok and now weighs 2.5kg. As for me, I am now 64.3kg and Dr Adrain said that baby head has turned.
After the checkup, DH picked me up and we went shopping at Suntec. I met my secondary school mates there and its been so long since I have seen them (1 of them is even a mother of 3). Anyway, our main objective is to go to JL to buy playpen mattress since we have some vouchers. We managed to find 1 that is suitable and off we went to have our dinner at Hotpot culture. The dinner was enjoyable as DS is happily playing with his new cars that DH had brought for him. After dinner, we went to Starbuck café for my sudden craving of ice coffee. By the time, we went home I was so....tired.

Review
Brought DS for his assessment review for 2-3 years old yesterday. Decided to bring him to our family doctor instead of Dr. Koh as I find that our family doctor is more detailed in explaining. As usual, DS is on the 50 percentile (Measurement taken at 34 mths - weight: 13kg, height: 92cm) and since he has been progressing on such scale since young, the doctor assured us that he is growing normally. DS managed to complete all the task stated in the health booklet and this time, though there are still some resistance from him but luckily, the doctor is very patient with him and DS also warmed up after a while (with the sweets and stickers effect).
The only thing the doctor commented is that his speech is still not very clear. I asked the doctor should I bring him to see a speech therapist but doctor said that since DS can express himself, there is no such need except that we need to speak to him slower and pronounce our words clearly so that he can pick up the correct pronunciations (I do admit that I speak too fast at times and my English is not prefect, so DS might have pick up some incorrect pronunciations from me). Now DS already know the Capital letter alphabets but for small letter alphabets, sometimes he will still make some mistakes.
After the review, we went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to collect some vouchers but the shopping mall was too small and there was not much eatery place. We managed to grab our lunch cum dinner at Liao Bejing and after that we boarded the bus back to PS. We roamed around PS for a while before heading home around 9pm plus.

Long weekend
Always loved long weekend as I rest and spent more time with DS. We are filled with activities over last long weekend
Saturday (19/09/09)
It’s DH niece big day..Yeah, she and her BF have finally settled down after 9 years of courtship (even longer than me and DH relationship). As I can’t go to her house to see her 出嫁, we only reached SIL house at around 11am plus for the tea ceremony. The bride didn’t come back till 2pm so I spent my time playing Majong again.
We rushed back after the tea ceremony as I wanted to let DS have his nap before the wedding dinner @ 6.30pm. DS managed to nap for an hour plus before I woke up again to get him prepared. We will a bit late but luckily, we still managed to witness the couple solemnization. It was so sweet and touching when they exchange the vows. As usual, though the wedding invitation card states that dinner will be served at 7.30pm but the dinner didn’t starts till 8.30pm..Luckily, I had some food before the dinner but for DS, can see he was quite hungry already. Dinner ends at around 11pm plus and we sent PIL back. By the time we reached home, it was already midnight and I was so tired after a long day.
Sunday (20/09/09)
Decided to bring DS to East Coast Beach for some fun. The beach was crowded as it was a public holiday. We decided to have lunch at Mac first and after that, we brought DS to the beach for some fun. DH even brought DS to swim in the sea also and can see both of them having a wonderful bonding time swimming and building sandcastles. Really love and treasured those quality time that we spent as a family (^o^)
Monday (21/09/09)
Met up with the confinement lady sister at Compass Point to pass her the deposit. Hope that the confinement lady will be good as I have not used her before and contacts were obtained from the net. After that, we decided tabao lunch to SIL place and while we were having our lunch, PIL dropped by too. BIL asked if we want to go swimming at SAFRA Yishun since we have no programme on, we decided to join in too. So off we went back home to collect all our swimming stuff and we met them there. DS truly enjoyed himself and we had a hard time trying to get him out off the pool as he was having fun on the slide and the Jacuzzi pool. After the swim, we all went over to BIL place for dinner and left the place around 9pm plus.

Pasir Ris Park
Since the weather was good (no sun nor rain) yesterday, we decided to bring DS to Pasir Ris Park playground for some fun and exercise. We brought along DS football and off we left the house at 1pm plus. The park was surprising not crowded so it’s kind of quiet and the best part was that DS don’t need to queue for the swing. However, part of the playground was spoilt and was condoned off but still DS enjoyed his slides and had a fun time climbing here and there..
After more that an hour of play, we started to feel the raindrops so we decided to leave the park and DH drove to Downtown East for our lunch. Think all the running makes DS very hungry coz he managed to finish a big bowl of Macaroni and since there was a jumbo sales nearby, we decided to pop by. Brought a pair of comfortable flip flops for myself, a bolster and some kitchen cleaning cloth before heading to PIL place for dinner.
