so quickly let him hv his milk, rest awhile bathe him, den went to aglow clinic le. Objective is to review his ears again, make sure the infection is totally gone! 2ndly is to see if he's fit, den decide which vaccine to administer him ba...

June - wtfxxing month

WORK

phew....finally i'm alive in this blog again..guess many of my frenz wld hv thought i hv long given up updating liao ya...hello hello...im not always so "maggie mee" timing wan hor...



super long long month for me....it's year end closing lah, many many many things to do. seriously unbelievable, my office calendar is always full of invites for meetings....meetings after meetings, many a times are back to back, i even have lesser time having lunch with my buddies ann and rachel...



ZoZo + Family + Problem

work aside, my zozo is of cos my 1st priority lah...last 2 weekend i actually signed up for a Great Parenting Forum organised by Abbot. Each parent $10, cannot bring kids that are below 12yrs. Ok loh, then gota leave him at home with mum then. I've never never interested in such forum wan leh...somore from 12-5pm...wakaoz super long sia. But there were 7 speakers lah, from doctors, counsellors, director from shicida method school and even special guest celebrity. Huang Biren and Wong LiLin....they are the last 2 speakers, which i find it's the most time wasted session, can't be bothered to listen to how they share they experiences lah....lucky put them the last one.



Light lunch was provided, not bad eh...somore they gave pediasure goodie bag. Just try the milk loh, to me i find no harm is mixing the milk as and when. Cos just having 1 brand may not be a good thing too as he may be too dependent on it le.



The first speaker was the BEST....he was Mr Arthur Ling, he's the Director, Head of Family Services for Touch Community Services whereby he shared alot of very pragmatic and simple words to understand about Family and especially the topic that he's sharing is Balancing Work & Family - How to Involve Your Husband. This is a very very very good talk to walk those "sleeping" fathers who's not so much involve in their son's/daughter's daily, hourly, every minute, every seconds of their growing up. Solid example is my husband....haiz...lately i juz find that i can't communicate with him...



I'm already so busy at work, but when I'm home, I will try to make sure i spend time with my ZoZo, cos by the time we get home. we only have at most 3-4hrs with him!! And he will be asleep, then next day, at most another 0.5-1hr then we are off to work already! Hey, wat is so important on the fxxxing Euro? Or rather Live matches? The odds? I used to enjoy this game too, but ever since he became a total freak in following almost every single matches, spent his whole fxxxing time on the laptop monitoring, reading the odds TO GAMBLE!!! I start to hate and gets turn off by this game....am no longer a Liverpool fan, no longer interested in the updates of the players, no longer interested in Portugal, Spain, Chealsea watever F lah.....im totally pissed. I don't understand y man r like that, they rather stick theie arse on the sofa, staring at the laptop, dozing off with the hands in an odd position, but still not willing to go to bed. Still can say, aiya am watching lah...just resting my eyes....CRAP!!! Anyway I gave up, cant be bothered....i rather go smell my son's head, hands, feet, every part of his body while he's asleep and sleep close to him...



This whole week he's away to Lijiang for product workshop....i found more peace...i found more freedom....i found that, i don't have to have to frustrated and irritated feeling seeing him sitting at the same position every single nite until next morning....Frankly, I LOVE this feeling...hahaha! Well, i may have gone haywire liao....but lets see, he's coming back tonight, letz see how it goes ba....

Jurong Bird Park

Had a long long walked........my our first visit to Jurong Bird Park!!! Imagine, jiak ka arni dua this is then my first time there....kekeke...not surprising lah huh i guess.

Since Mum and Jie went on a cruise so had to bring Mini along (in a way she can help me carry my barang and look after ZoZo also ya). Lynn jio us to go since her fren has the 4 free adult card pass. Just go look see look see lah....

By the time we got there, both DarDar and myself was famished. Head straight to Bongo Burgers for lunch. Damn expensive leh....we had 3 sets lunch, 2 BBQ chicken, 1 fish & chips, 3 drinks, cost me $37+!!!! WTF!!! Haiz....nvm lah.....just eat loh....

By the time the Goh Family arrived we were almost done and our walking journey can begin..... If I know at the entrance the staff didn't really check ah....I wouldn't have bought another ticket for $18 for Mini!!! Basket....anyways....

Weather was hot, so first stop we went was the Penguin house (more cooling lah). Cute penguins!!! They look so unreal, ZoZo simply loves this place as he loves looking and chasing after the birds!!!

Well, we were in time for the 3pm show, just sat down and see loh. Ok lah, not as fantastic but commendable. Afterwhich we just walked and walked and walked and took pictures...mostly my ZoZo lah, and try to take some "exotic" birds loh since we are there.

Found a small airconditioned coffee place, sat down enjoyed the aircon and had some sprite to cool down man.....My little one lagi enjoyed...as he was happily sipping the sprite his papa feed. Behind this place was an open loft, the so small colour birds are fly openly in this area for visitors to take pics and gota pay $2 for a small container of bird's food to feed them. And they will automatically come nearer to you. Aiya.....what for...so expensive, the birds are all there for you to take the shot...we just snap and snap and snap loh.

When we were ready to proceed with our walk, we walking infront excecpt ZoZo and his papa. Suddenly, we heard some commotion.....aiyo...I group of ah poo neh neh...came and grab my ZoZo busy taking video shots of him. 1 aunty neh neh grab him from another uncle and starting smooching him!!! Wakaoz...almost fainted.....aiya boh pian...suddenly he became their "star"...when they left, I quickly use wet wipes and clean him....hee......no choice lah...hygiene mah..

By the time we are walking out, it's almost 6pm liao. Can't imagine we have actually walked from 2pm siah....we headed to IMM for dinner at....Mac Donald's...fwahahaha...with my ZoZo around it's usually our meal hideout. Since my 4 redeemed burgers are expiring tomorrow, may as well eat it today loh with the Goh Family around, can share with them mah....

After dinner we went Daiso and walk walk....again....too many things..see until i blur. Anyway my darling boy had a good time today. He was tired, so are we.....pics will upload later...tired liao....

2 days Leave + Journey Begins Today

Has to take to days leave to look after ZoZo. Mum was also down so no choice. Sunday nite didn't sleep, was sponging him the whole nite. Diana and Mini came in and help at 2am+ till almost 4am. He's feve went up to as high as 39.6 in the middle of the nite...haiz...dunno y lidat...



Anyway, Monday morning Diana took send us to Dr Ong's clinice at United Square to see him. Well, as usual loh, to doctors it's very normal wan...but at least he gave us the assurance that this is a very common fit that will not affect any of his development. And he has also confirmed that he doesn't have any sorethroat or any uclers (signs of HFMDs)....this is now the worse airborne virus happening this period.



By the time we got home, it's was almost lunch hour, Mum stayed home and rest in the morning as she's still coughing badly. By mid noon, I bth liao...eyes closing liao...went to take a long nap until 6+ den wake up....*yawns*...



Before dinner, ZoZo was still doing very well, at least his temperature was that high, but suddenly after dinner, his temperature went up to 38.7 again...aiyo....better take another day leave and look after through out the nite again....



At about 11pm, his temperature was very good, just that he started running nose again. At least without the fever he can sleep better. Was monitoring him until 1am, his temperature was normal for the past 2 hours. Well....so I better not sponge him, incase he gets too cold. Went to sleep as well....suddenly at 4am+ Dar said ZoZo's forehead is hot....aiyo when take the temperature he was 38.9 again....*faint*!!! Quickly started to sponge him again. His head, his body...until about 630am...finally his temperature went down to 37.6.



Since Mini, was awake already, I got her in to takeover while I sleep....very sleepy liao...bth...at least when his temperature is down, more fang xin (relieve) to sleep lah....will den start to get tired...if not naturally the energy will just last as long as it can.....



Woke up at 10am+.....since my appointment has already scheduled for today....may as well go loh....what appointment ah?? Fixing my braces loh......ai swee mah....itz lidat de...so my real journey begins today......This is actually my 3rd visit le, but the 1st and 2nd was to insert the separator to 3 teeth first, 2nd one was to take out the separator and put in the metal ring. Today is then fixing of the braces.....Suppose to be last week, but after the extraction of my 3 teeth (Dr Alfred Cheng said must extract de) my gums will still very pain...datz y i adjourned it till today.



Mum, ZoZo and Mini tagged along, since take taxi to and fro, so they kpo kpo loh, in a way also to bring ZoZo go "gaigai" awhile lah...cos the whole of last weekend did not go anywhere at all...Only took me about half and hour to fix on the metal braces....not bad lah....lucky no abrasion to my lips for now....just felt abit uneasy when chewing my food...

Went home, since I'm on leave and both Mum and ZoZo was better le, so I decided to take a quick shower and go Nail Bliss do my pedi and manicure. Aiya...now no eneryg to do it myself lah, get ppl do it faster and neater mah...kekeke....then also took the opportunity to go for my haircut. If not wait til weekends, I lagi no time.

Happy Mother's Day

This is my 2nd year celebrating this day....but today and this year is not a good one....



Mum hasn't been feeling well again for the past few days. Yesterday she was so weak till she need Dr Tan to come in for house visit, but he wasn't free to come by. Diana brought her to see him instead. We didn't plan to go anywhere since Mum's not feeling too good.



ZoZo was as sticky to Mum. No choice lah, if he hears her voice (coughing) and not seeing her or let her carry, he will cry. So mum cuddled him for awhile in the evening and at night when she was better, she fed him milk and patted him to bed together with me.



At 6+am this morning, when I touched ZoZo's forehead, it was hot. Took his temperature was 38.1 degrees. After feeding him with milk I quickly gave him his paracetamol. When he woke up at 9+am, his temperature went down alittle. After he passed motioned we quickly go bathe him to bring down his temperature. He was very grouchy. After feeding him I patted him and let him take a short nap.



When he woke up, he was still ok. So we prepared to go collect Dar's car (send to repray the door) Before we left, his temperature was at 38.9. While I was preparing to give him Bifen, mum suddenly shouted for us.....ZoZo had his 2nd febrile fits attack at about 215pm. Still as panick and frightened, but we quickly place him on his side. His saliva was oozing out from his mouth, his eyes rolled up again, face turned pale, lips turned blackish.....we kept calling out his name to keep him awake. Used ice water to sponge his head. He started shivering and shaking. We covered him with blanket. He was back to his senses after 1-2mins. My hands were trembling again....but fortunately we know how to handle better this time.



Really damn lucky we have yet to step out to go collect the car. If not, left with Mum, Jie and Mini, they sure panick until duno what to do. We continued to let him lay on side, when he starting whining, at least the stone in our heart dropped. Quickly I fed him with Bifen. He was shivering as he was cold but his temperature was high. He clenched his fits very tightly and still not relaxing.....quickly we massage him to loosen his muscles. Slowly he starts to get alittle tired and drowsy, so he slept. While he was sleeping we took our chance to sponge him non-stop to bring his temperature down....

When he woke up, he was kinda weak, didn't have the strength to walk on his own....haiz...when he's about to walk steadily, now he kena fever....haiz....In the evening, suddenly his temperature shot up again, his lips was kinda darken abit as well, his skin was alittle flower like patch....we quickly sponge and monitor him just in case he has another fit attack.....

Anyway to be continued in my next post, gota go look after him as he just woke up from his nap....God Bless my ZoZo....

Singapore Flyer - 26th April 08

We had our JLL Family Day yesterday. Spouses and children are also entitled to free tickets to ride on the Singapore Flyer. FOC leh, of cos all go lah....

The program starts from 10am - 3pm. Since parking lots there are limited we decided to go early. Anyway by the time we reach there it was almost 1030am liao. Weather was super hot siah, my ZoZo face was burning red and he was perspiring so much until his whole head was wet.


Our first stop was to to the Greek Theatre where, goodie bags were given out and Chriss Fossick will be giving his informal speech to all who will be present. Nothing much lah, Magic show for the kids, and balloons. A professional photographer took a family shot for us. Don't when will get it leh...

weather hot leh....but no thanks..the shades are too huge!!

Lunch coupons at the Popeyes were given as well for each adult. By 1130am I was getting hungry liao, so we better go grab some Popeye chicken before the Q starts. Who knows when we went in, the Q was already super long. Fortunately we could still grab a table. By the time Shida and the rest came in, tables were all occupied liao. And I was still q-ing. ZoZo was happily eating his bread while waiting his papa and him waiting for me to get the food.




waiting patient for my food.....

Q-ed half way, saw Dar's army fren, Sunny. He walked passed our table, but they both didn't noticed. I called Dar and asked if he saw Sunny. He did not, so when he called and ask when he was there as well, then we realised his wife is actually a JLL staff too for years. Alamak, we knew each other but all this while didn't even know she was my HQ colleague. Anyway, hardly go HQ, somore so many hundreds staff, don't "c normal" wan....


Well, we took our own sweet time to eat. By the time we are done, my ZoZo fell asleep le. He was too tired as he did not have his am nap. I carried him in my arms for him to sleep. Kenneth and Shirley joined our table after they had their ride. Since ZoZo was sleeping, we just let him sleep until he's awake then we go for the ride. Sunny called and said our photos are exhibited at Greek Theatre...wow...that's fast!! It's was printed out in credit card size with JLL and Singapore Flyers logo. Quite cool.


Fortunately he had almost 1.5 hrs nap, at least he won't be so grouchy and moody. By the time he woke up, it was almost 2pm. Proceed straight for the ride. Nobody de, no Q de, just walk in straight to the capsule. Before we went in, we stood infront of some huge lightning like cameras and smiled dumbl,y, standing in a opened space room, with partitioned for different families. We'll have to hold on to the black credit card size disc for collection of our photos. Damn hi-tech hor, maybe not to some ppl lah, but i suaku mah.... Aiya....just take first lah, see nice or not loh (of cos if want muz pay wan loh)...




contented look, caused ZoZo had enuff sleep le....






see no Q de....still can snap pictures at our own sweet time






quick quick quick....snap 1 pic before we board the capsule



The whole capsule on has 6 adults and my ZoZo the only child. Lucky we have so much space for him to walk around. He was so busy walking round and round the bench until we both we as busy snapping photos for him and watching him (incase he fall, walk still not steady) until we didn't really get to enjoy much of the view. The ride was so slow until it was so motionless. Too bad the IR and F1 track still under construction, so nothing much to see lah. Just the skyscrapers, port, Sentosa, buildings, ECP, blah blah blah....all seen before liao loh.... Just to experience this Flyer ride since it's FOC.


wah...shiok siah...not so crowded in this capsule...





nice view hor....





papa..u notti!!! pull your ear!!








mummy...u looked more scared then me leh...








nice view, pretty gal, handsome boy


Took us not more then 35mins. Came down, went to view the photo we took in that "room", actually very fake wan loh, machiam the pic was taken from outside the capsule in the air. The outline can tell very unreal lah....but I still bought it....haha...well, once in a lifetime mah, since taken le, stupidly paid $15 for it loh.....


i just like to walk round and round....round and round....



i walked until tired liao...no mood to smile...



the ride is over liao?? where r we heading??


Went down to look for a place and feed ZoZo milk. While searching, a caricuture artist was providing free service. Since no just 2 person in the Q, we joined and had our pic drawn by him. I had 1 by myself, cause where DarDar brought ZoZo to (my hp was not with me). By the time they came back, he already started drawing mine. So ZoZo had 1 with his PaPa loh...




Didn't expect we will stay at the Singapore Flyers for so long. By the time ZoZo finished his milk, it was almost 4pm le. Aiyo...so hot and tiring day, somore not enough milk powder to continue to go shopping, so we just went home. Stupid carpark charges cost us $14.40!!! Wakaoz, lucky the ride and lunch was FOC, if not this trip is super expensive......
