Woke up early than usual to continue spring-cleaning the house, as we will be reunion dinner at PIL place later the day..DS woke up worse than yesterday, his flu was pretty bad that his nose was like running tap and he started to develop cough too..As usual, once he have cough, he will vomited out all his milk so its cleaning and more cleaning.
Managed to finish all my chores around 5pm but DS was still sleeping and we decided to let him sleep a while more as the medicine might have caused him to be drowsy. Decided to wake DS up at 6pm as BIL called to inform us that everybody is ready for the dinner. So we rushed down and soon it’s was dinner time. MIL cooked a table full of yummy food but DS was so cranky that he just refused to sit in his high chair and wanted DH to carry him. So I quickly have my dinner first and after that its my turn to look over DS..But once everybody finished their dinner, DS began to ‘warm’ up and started playing with his cousin. We started our ang pow exchange shortly and stayed at PIL place till 11pm plus…

Spring Cleaning
Decided to spend the day cleaning up the house since CNY is just a few days away. OMG…after a hard day of cleaning, my hands ached like anything that I really don’t feel like celebrating CNY anymore. Also, DS seemed to caught a cold..kept sneezing the whole day so we quickly fed DS some med hoping that he will be well before CNY.
Chinatown Trip
Finally, we managed to squeeze some time out and brought DS to Chinatown for a last minute shopping trip. We went over last Friday (23/01/09) at around 10pm plus with BIL & family. Somehow, the atmosphere is not as ‘happening’ as previous years and its so much ‘quieter’. Maybe it’s because we went there late or maybe its because of the economy downturn but I just couldn’t ‘soaked’ into the festive joy. Anyway, roamed around for a while before we went for supper and headed home at around 1am plus (my camera batt actually went flat when I reached there so couldn’t take much photos).. What a tired night for all of us.

CNY countdown..
DS still haven’t adapted to school life yet. Still very clingy to DH and now he even refused to wear his school uniform. As DH can’t accompany DS into the class, so no more updates from him regarding DS behavior but next week, I will go and talk to the teacher to find out how DS is coping in class.
In just a few days time, it will be CNY. Always love this festival as can get to eat good food, play cards, meet up with relatives etc.. How times flies, this will be the 3rd time DS celebrating this festival and of course he is too young to understand the custom (significant of receiving red packets, eating reunion dinner etc) but he’s sure going to have a fun time. I have already got DS a few sets of new clothes and I have also brought all the New Year goodies too. DH also helped to put up some deco around the hse and this weekend, I will spring cleaning the house. However, this year due to time constrained, we did not bring DS to Chinatown to soak in the atmosphere and see those lighting but I was thinking of bring him either to River Ang Pow or Sentosa Flowers 2009 during the third day of CNY since I am not working… Counting down to CNY!! Anyway, in case I don’t have time to blog again, here’s wishing everybody “Happy ‘Niu’ Year & Gong Xi Fa Cai” Have a good and prosperous year ahead (^o^)

1st week in school
That’s fast, DS have been going to school for about a week liao. Parents were finally asked to leave the classroom (After 3 days in class) to let the children settle in by themselves. DH told me that at first DS was still ok but when it was time to pick DS up, he was crying so badly that he was trembling (poor boy). Anyway, as some kids have been sick since the 1st day, DS caught the flu bug yesterday and was down with flu too. Gave him some med yesterday but will monitor him again and most probably will not let him go school today to prevent spreading of the bug.
Ever since, DS went to school (though its only about a week), I noticed that he seems to be more talkative and he really enjoy singing though some words pronunciation are not accurate and the lyrics it’s a bit here and there.. Also, we noticed that DS seems not very interested in craftwork and also the writing and colouring part. What he really enjoys is those singing session. I do hope that as time progress, he will show more interest in those areas such as writing and coloring and he will sees learning as a fun process to acquire knowledge.

1st lesson
I was on leave again on Monday (05/01/09) to accompany DS to school. He woke up around 9am plus so gave him his milk at 10plus. We actually wanted to shower him before his class but he refused so we just sponge bath him and changed him into his school uniform. As we were walking to school, we saw a few of his schoolmate who have just returned from their classes (1st session: 9am – 11am) and it was so cute to see them all dress in red. We were earlier than Friday so DS wanted DH to bring him to playground to play first.
Class started promptly at 11.15am and so off we went to classroom but before we could enter the class, DS need to wash his hand first which one auntie would help the children washed their hands. After everyone was in the class, the teacher started the lesson with a welcome song followed by the lesson theme that was things in red. DS was quite responsive in class but when the teacher gave them lego to play, he was still very ‘sticky’ to me and he just refused to sit and play with other kids but I managed to coax him to play and sit down till it was his time to do his colouring. He managed to do quite a fair bit of colouring (his first attempt at colouring) and of course, it was very messy but at least he managed to follow the teacher instruction. The rest of the lesson was spent singing songs and story telling time. Classes ended at 1pm and teacher gave all students an apple and a vcd to bring home.

1st Day @ school
Finally, its DS fist day to school on 02/01/09 (Friday). I tool a day leave to accompany him to the orientation. At first, I was worried that he would not wake up on time as he had slept quite late the previous night. Atlas, I was wrong, DS woke up at 8.30am (even earlier than his usual timing), so I told DH jokingly that DS couldn’t sleep well as he was too excited to go school (I remembered I used to be very excited on my first day of school). Got him prepared by packing his bag with pencil box, colour pencil etc and we left the house at 10.55am as school starts at 11.15am and we sure wouldn’t want to be late on his first day. However, the moment we stepped out of our house, it started to drizzle so DH got to go back home to bring the umbrella.
When we reached the school, we were about 2mins earlier so we have to loiter around the area but the teacher soon welcome us in to the classroom. The classroom was very small but since the class size was small, it was still ok (max 15 students). At first, DS was very scared to mix around and he refused to let go of me but luckily, there was some lego lying around so me and DH coaxed him down to play and soon he began to warm up. The teacher. Teacher Ada, brief us on some information that we should know and then we went on to purchase the school uniform. I brought 2 sets for DS and after we purchased, the teacher said we could go home already, as class will only start on Monday. We will see how DS will react on Monday again as I will also be on leave to accompany him to school. Pics will be posted up soon..
