Fri at work, I bought some bengawan solo "kway kway". Not for myself, I never like that. The "kways" reminded me of mum so I bought some for her. I remembered last year we sent off my God parents at airport, she bought a few "kways" home. It's a pity that she didnt have a chance to finish it all. She took half of the kway lapis and she told me that she was having tummy discomfort. Thereafter, she rested on the bed, till the next day she admitted to hospital and she layed... and never wake up.
Yesterday, I brought the "kways" to visit her at Pek Shan Teng. I went alone and stayed there for a while. Looking at her picture, many many memories flashed through. I just cant stop asking why... there are still a lot of questions mark in my head. No one can ever answer those questions.

The past few days

2009-06-26T23:46:00.014+08:00

I was at the AYG game village from Monday till Thursday. The first day was quite occupied because we handled one of the team with cases of H1N1. It was not as scary as SARS but we still take precautions and donned our full PPE when we need to get near them.

I enjoyed my 4 days of afternoon shift there. Met a lot of people and made a lot of friends. Hope to participate again in the next year Olympic!

The food that we had in the hotel for the past few days.

Hahaha we had fun!

*************************

Thursday night after duty, me and Silly hubby went K box to celebrate his birthday. Yeah, just the two of us and we sang from 1130pm till 2am in the morning. The last time that I went karaoke was before my pregnancy! That was like almost a year!!!!!!!! We enjoyed the k session!

******************************

Silly hubby's birthday~ Vivo city.

"Mummy where are we going????"

"BORED...... how long do I have to wait? Mummy still taking pictures..."

"Such a long journey... catch some sleep...ZZZZZZZzzzzz"

"After daddy's haircut, we went to this restaurant called the 'bosses' in mandarin it is called 'hei she hui'! Ohhh what a name!"

"Where is my food??? Hungry......."

"Nice dim sum!!!!!!!!!! I ate one whole piece of xiao long bao!"

Joshua enjoyed the xiao long bao and he really ate the whole piece all by himself (of cos without the skin)... he is a glutton!!!!!!!!!! He wanted the dessert that we had as well! This is the first that we put him on a high chair and eat together with us in a restaurant. Glad that he enjoyed the food and behaved himself!

Took another picture with daddy before going home.

We were still very full at dinner time hence we bought only black pepper crab and a packet of garlic stirred fried vegetables.

Happy birthday to you Silly hubby!

A year has passed...

2009-06-20T23:30:00.003+08:00

Today is mum's first anniversary. A year has passed... time flies.
I met my aunties and uncles and we went to both "Fuo guang shan" and "Pek shan teng" to pray respect to mum.

Little Joshua went with us too. I am sure mum is happy to see him.

"Fuo guang shan" is a very peaceful place... and they even hold small wedding banquet in their restaurant.

Hmmm.... I dont know what to say. A year has passed but there are lots of "IFs" in my mind throughout the year. "If this didnt happen...", "if we know it earlier and treat it...", "if time can goes back...", "if.......".

If only I can have a wish. I would like to have the chance to spend more years with my mum. I really wish...

2009-06-17T22:59:00.005+08:00

Short trip to Genting

2009-05-29T23:39:00.010+08:00

Driving up to Genting...

Enjoying the breeze outside Genting hotel

Our room in first world hotel and the basement theme park of first world hotel

The mushroom farm near Genting...

It was very cooling as we drove down...

Last minute we planned to go on a short trip to Genting on Wednesday. Silly hubby wanted to try driving up so we booked the hotel room online and UP WE WENT!
It has been ... I guess about 5-6 years since the last time I drove up to Genting. It took us about 4 hours this time round. Silly hubby was happy that he was able to drive up and downhill without any problems.

The weather was good. As usual it is always cooling up there but the air indoor was not as great as outdoor because there are a lot of smokers polluting the air! I feel they should at least banned people from smoking in the restaurants and other dining areas. It's so URGGHHHH POLLUTED!

Frankly speaking, there isnt any nice food there. Only one to two restaurants are so called better, the rest are expensive and ... hmm not very nice lah.

Anyway it is not new, we always feel that way but we still go every once a year or sometimes more. Probably just enjoy being in a cooling place with casino hahahahaha!

Colmar Tropicale

Before we came back to SG, we drove to the Colmar Tropicale. We walked around for about an hour then took some pictures. It was about the same as the last time me and papa went, we thought it will be much more develop...

Back to SG... dinner was at Uncle Leong's crab at AMK to celebrate my birthday!

It's short but we enjoyed... dont know when will be our next holiday trip. Whenever I think of my leave ending soon I feel so LOUSY!
DISGUSTING! PUI!

Audit

2009-05-23T22:34:00.002+08:00

This week has been doing audit. Today was the worst result of all because I guess everyone do not expect auditor to go to their ward on Saturday.
Some staff were rude, some were defensive and some dont even bother to take a second look at me.
Well, fine, I do my audit still but more strict on these people.

Scene 1:
Me: Where is your goggle?
Senior staff nurse: Wait, I want to go toilet.
After few minutes I saw the same staff again.
Me: I was asking you where is your goggle?
SSN: Here lor (point to the drawer). Any other question?
Me: All right, since you ask tell me the 5 moments of hand hygiene.
(It's 1) before patient contact 2) after patient contact 3) before aseptic task 4) after contact patient's surrounding 5) after body fluid exposure risk)
SSN: Errr before procedure, after procedure, before and after touching body fluid, after touching...
Me: Wait... before what procedure? and before or after touching body fluid?
SSN: Before and after procedure lah.
Me: No, what procedure? Before a what procedure? Is after a procedure part of the 5 moments? then contact with body fluid do you wash your hands before or after?
SSN: Before and after lah, correct mah! Before and after procedure, before and after body fluid...before and after you touch the patient lah.
Me: Like that is how many moments????? Do you have the chart in the ward? Can you point to me and read all out.
She brought me to the chart and said
SSN: Correct lah before and after procedure...
Me: Can you see properly? It's before and after patient contact, before aseptic procedure and after touching body fluid and surrounding.
SSN: Correct lah I said that mah!
Me: NO, you said before and after body fluid, before and after procedure that is not right.
SSN: Ai ya whatever lah I dont want to argue with you.
Me: I am not trying to argue, you did not get it right at all. You should know everything by now because audit is everyday.
SSN: Never mind lah ok ok I dont want to argue. Any other question.
Me: Ok since you ask, show me how u enter patient temperature.
SSN: (click and go in)...
Me: Ok, at what time do you enter into the system if a patient having fever?
SSN: Uh... what what time? Two times a day lor.
Me: Yes, then at what time?
SSN: About 8am and 2pm lah
Me: Wrong.
SSN: Correct what, we always enter about 8plus or 2plus.
Me: Anyone know the answer?
EN: It's at 4am and 4pm.
Me: Correct. Then which temperature do you enter?
EN: The highest temperature.
Me: Correct. Then when patient no longer having fever then do you still need to enter.
EN: Yes, for another 48hours.
Me: Yes. SSN, this is the answers that I want. I only ask things that YOU SHOULD KNOW and not question that I invented. You have to know what you suppose to know.
She called herself a senior staff nurse!??!?! EN can do better than her!

Scene two:
Me: Can name me the 5 moments of hand hygiene?
SN: (Do not know then turn and look at the chart)...
Me: By now you should know already, shouldnt be looking at the chart.
SN: You didnt say cannot look what. Before and after patient contact.....blah blah....
Me: Ok now that you have read and saw, I want you to look away and repeat.
SN: I still dont know. (Look at the chart to repeat)....
What is this????!

Scene three:
Everyone was very caution when they see auditor but this particular SN dont bother. She touched the patient's hand, lifted the patient up, then served the patient's diet followed by touching the curtain. She then walked out the patient's room. I approached her and asked her whether she saw me observing her she said yes. I asked her then how come she didnt use handrub after contacting patient's surrounding. She replied "Oh I forgot"... then continued to serve other patient's diet.
A just dont bother attitute lor....

Very bad experience today!

Enjoying the walk!

Work

2009-05-13T21:06:00.003+08:00

Long time didnt blog about work. Well, of course I am busy almost everyday... Sometimes I quite enjoy but sometimes I feel very lousy.
Audits has been ongoing since outbreak of influenza. After a lot of nagging to the staff, I am glad that the result has improved. Does that means we have to nag more?!?!!?!?!
Today everyone was not very into the daily audit but the new bed management system. Gosh... phone calls non stop and everyone "sister how uh?", "sister, is it like that"... actually I am also new to it lor, I also dont know how to answer them but have to keep calling the command centre, the bed management department etc etc... a lot of "quarrels" and "arguments" going on. Hope things can get better tomorrow!

Mum, happy mother's day!

2009-05-09T20:51:00.005+08:00

First year spending mother's day without mum. Every year this time, I will think of where to have dinner and mum will always say "Dont go restaurants on this day, it is so much more expensive. Eat anywhere will do".

Days when she was well, she will even cook. Haaa mother's day mum cooks dinner for the family... mum just cannot stop "working". Last year, she was sick. We were having dinner at Meritus Mandarin and she didnt eat much as she has bad tummy ache. I can see she was feeling very lousy at that point of time but she didnt want to spoil the dinner so she tried to endure the pain.

How wonderful if mum is still around. We can celebrate mother's day together because I have also become a mother! ...

Wherever you are, mum, I wish you a very happy mother's day and you are the best!

Ip Man

2009-05-07T22:18:00.003+08:00

Donnie Yen as "Ip Man" ~ is the movie based on the life story of "Wing Chun grandmaster" Ip Man. The movie focuses on events in Ip Man's life that took place in Foshan during the 1930s and 1940s during the Japanese occupation of China. Ip Man was Bruce Lee's Wing Chun teacher and was the first to teach Wing Chun openly.
I always enjoy Donnie Yen's movie and this movie "Ip man" really impressed me. Regreted that I didnt watch it last Dec but it's still not too late now! Watch it if you are a kungfu or wing chun lover, you will not regret.
I rate it 10/10!

Joshua is home!

2009-05-06T22:27:00.003+08:00

Yesterday little boy came home and sat on his new toy ~ the RACER! VROOOMMM

Then I put him in his bumbo! SOOoo cute... this morning I left him there as well but I think he wasnt too happy.

Joshua loves sitting in his RACER and he finds it "delicious"! Haaaaaa

Siti's baby gal~ Alya's first month!

2009-05-01T20:41:00.011+08:00

This morning...

"Gong gong (grandpa) reading recipe book I also want to read! Hmmmm what to have for dinner????? Ask mummy to cook my favourite dish!"

"All these recipe books belongs to por por (grandma). Daddy said por por is a very good cook. Too bad I do not have the chance to try......"

"This is my hair brush. Hmmm how to write with the cap on!?!? Must remove the cap!"

"Mummy said must hold the brush properly... let me think... use my right hand to hold it properly. Is this the right way??!!?"

"YEAH! Mummy and daddy is bringing me out!... bored in the car... are we reaching??!?!"

"Baby Alya's first month party! The above is Auntie Walla!"

"Auntie Siti and her children!"

"Auntie Walla with tiara..."

"Back home... hmm gums itchy *bite bite*... What's on the paper today?!? SWINE??"

Joshua

2009-04-30T21:27:00.005+08:00

Joshua's hair brush! Very nicely done...

Look at the way he holds it heee as though he knows how to write with a brush!

Swine influenza

2009-04-28T22:21:00.002+08:00

Yeah, because of "swine" I have to stay back to finish my work. I have lots of meetings to attend, lots of emails to read, lots of messages to pass... Today was the latest of all. I went home at 7plus in the evening. Sigh, went to work when the skies were still dark and came home when the sky turned dark.
So tired... but what to do, that's the nature of my job!
It was kind of fun today because most of the meetings I attended together with Jasmine. I have at least someone to crack jokes with and hahahaha we just cant stop laughing on our silly actions. I think only both of us find it funny coz it happened to us. Anyway, we just cant help but kept laughing about it. Somehow it reminded me of our days working together in A station and the ICU. Miss those days but then still happy then we are still able to work together after so many years. When I feel down at times, it is these friends that keep me going!
Hope that we can pull through the hard times again!

Our pictures...

2009-04-21T21:11:00.006+08:00

I like the second picture, Joshua's stare was so cool heee

*HAPPY* to discover mummy actually sitting behind him! (he is looking for someone to carry him!)

Joshua was happy to be able to hug his "chou chou" before he went out...

"YO! I love playing with daddy!"

Little baby Joshua!

2009-04-17T21:32:00.004+08:00

"Mummy taking picture, must SMILE!"

Playtime with daddy!

"Dinner time... hmmm what to eat?!?!!?!"

"Dont know what is on the next page... hmmm better ask daddy to choose for me!"

My right hand...

2009-04-12T20:53:00.002+08:00

This morning work was ... not very busy but not too free also. Quite a number of staff took MC then have to deploy staff from one station to another. Before we could finish everything, something happened in one of the station! OMG. Not so nice to blog here though... Anyway, didnt expect such things to happen.
After work I went to see my sinsei. Today after she pulled my thumb (DAMN PAINFUL!!!) she said "you carry baby again?" I bluff her said no. "NO meh?" she said. I still deny. After a while she said she wanna repeat the acupuncture again! (DAMN BLOODY PAINFUL this time!!!) She repeated "Never carry baby meh? Sure have."
Experts are experts. Haha but I still deny. Today I feel my hand numb after the pull and the acupuncture. She said "Should be ok after 2 days." I hope so lor... I can bend my thumb now leh heeeeee

If I dont recover, I guess I have to look for Dr Genevieve hahaha cute little girl!

Today

2009-04-09T23:46:00.003+08:00

This morning SHE was in good mood and she was even concern about MY HAND. We all reckon its because of the long weekend. Thanks to the PH and weekend!
CRAZY.
Yeah, work too long with her will go crazy.
Today didnt bring Joshua home though I am off tomorrow coz I thought I will not be able to nurse him at night. MISS him... anyway, tomorrow I will go for my second acupuncture. Kind of fearful of the needles but I have no choice. My right thumb seems more flexible than yesterday, hope it will get even better tomorrow.
Tomorrow beside acupuncture, I will bring Joshua out to my friend's bb first month party and to auntie Yvette's house. Joshua will definately enjoy! ;)

Acupuncture

2009-04-08T23:17:00.002+08:00

Today finally went to seek treatment for my De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. The pain has worsen recently and it's now both wrist. Sigh... I feel OT does not really help because I have to be very consistent in doing the exercise that they taught me and also follow up with them once a week. I dont always have the time to go for the appointment. Each appointment takes about an hour so it's hard for me to go either in the morning or afternoon.
No choice but I defaulted treatment and went to one of the sinsei that my friend recommended. I am always very afraid of needles but this time I really have no choice. I feel the pain is getting worst. I trusted my friend since she tried it and it seems this sinsei is quite famous.
When I reached there, the female sinsei knows straight what is my diagnosis. Same as what the OT said, it is common among mothers which is called the "mothers' hand syndrome". She started with giving the thumb a pull then followed by the rest of the fingers. Wow, it indeed loosen the tension a little but the pain was a shock to me! She then took out a blade and some needles. She started to slit around the wrist (that was what I felt coz I just dont dare to look) then I felt some poking pain then there was a strong suction at the wrist. Some blood were being sucked out from there then when everything was over there was a bump. Lastly the wrist was being bandage up.
The left hand she only did the pulling because she was afraid that I cannot do much at work. She will do the left hand on Fri after I removed the right hand bandage. I hope I can recover from it.....

The person that I least expected....

2009-04-07T21:31:00.003+08:00

This morning dragged myself to work because I knew there is definately some scoldings today. (It's TUESDAY MAH!) What I predicted was true but I didnt expect it to start so early!
At 815am she called the ward and told whoever who picked up the phone to ask me to call her! !??!?!?!? Well, I called her and it was like "@#!@$!#%!#$%%@%#@%%@%#%%%$#%^$%^%#.......!@$@%$%#$^%$^%$..........." for about 2 minutes then I put down the phone to investigate.
The problem was things ordered but was not done by the staff. Of course it became my problem also. I felt like defending myself when she said "YOU DIDNT CHECK YESTERDAY! NEVER FOLLOW ROUNDS?!!??!?!"
"HEY I WAS OFF!!! I WAS OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!" how I wish I could say that but I cannot!
Anyway, after gathered some information of the incident, I went to pass to her about it and the ward. She seems all right by then until I mentioned about the incident. She started "$@%@%@$#@$%#^^" again but then at the end of the sentence she said "I am too tired and no energy to scold".... Yeah, I wouldnt say it wasnt the staff or my fault. What I can say is we should be more vigilent.
I have to send her email about who were the staff involved and another email about one waiver of charge for a patient. Additionally I have to follow up on a complicated complain case then followed by a meeting at 12noon till 5pm.
I felt breathless. Work cannot finish on time and I have to rush for the meeting. I came back at about nearly 5pm to complete the last email. I checked dont know how many case sheets and then called a few patients at home. I managed to finish everything by 6pm.
Oh... I got deviated by the _____ (elaine will know what word to fill in hahaha). I was supposed to mention the person whom I least expected has rendered help. She gave me advise and listen to me. Really appreciate her help!

No matter how unhappy I am... he always brighten up my day! Hahahaha his expression so funny!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow will be a better day..............

2009-04-05T20:39:00.004+08:00

OPS! Being caught!

"I am learning how to stand and sit!"

"Carry me leh...."

How come?

2009-04-02T21:58:00.003+08:00

How come I got endless errands to run???!!?
Maybe everyone has the same problem but then mine seems one after another. Initially was the stupid line of credit (dont know what the hell was that) charged me an annual fee of $60 then never pay they sent me a late charge of $60 so added up to $120. I didnt even use the service of course I wouldnt want to pay. I called them up but the person said I cannot cancel like that, must write in! Stupid leh then cannot fax must post. The address was so damn bloody long! Anyway... I took a couple of days to settle that coz got to get envelope, buy stamps...
Thereafter, I received an insurance annual fee stated that they will deduct $$$ from my GIRO this month. That policy I bought for my mum so I called to cancel it. Who knows they told me I have to go to the bank to do cancellation! Sigh.... it took me another week to settle this. (I dont have time, really...)
Another letter stated that one of my bank account for deduction of my insurance was empty (yah yah I am broke!) so SICK! Hence today I went to three banks. One to settle the cancel of GIRO, two to throw in cheques to transfer $$$ to the respective bank. What the heck! I open so many bank accounts for what!!?!???!!?!?!?!
Still got a few things pending for me to settle. AI YO very busy leh!

She commented...

2009-03-31T21:54:00.002+08:00

"You have been there for a while, there is no feedback on you so that means you have not been working".
I feel like asking "Have you overlook or maybe my name just cannot get into your head?"
I swear that I have seen 3 positive feedback of my name for the past month since I came back to work and this was the kind of comment I received.
Frankly I never felt so demoralize like today. Yes, I agreed that 3 feedback may not be a lot but it is also not nothing. Somehow I knew she will pass this comment one of these days so ever since I get back to work I tell myself at least one positive feedback every month and what I received has already exceeded for the month. I thought it was quite good but she thinks otherwise. Sometimes she commented on some staff "So many positive feedback but cannot work. Only know how to talk". Now she commented no feedback means not working. How confused!
I told sister yip about it and sister yip was kind enough to give me this advise "It's all right, she was also looking at me hinting that I dont have but I know that I do my work and it's good enough that my gals got a lot of positive feedback. These positive feedback that the gals received reflected on me, reflected that I have guide them properly. As long as there is no complains means that you have actually done a good job. I dont mind whether I get anything or not, as long as my staff got it."
I felt better after listening to her. What sister yip said is true, our conscience is clear. Say what she wants!

My little boy...

About work...

2009-03-25T23:39:00.002+08:00

Have not been blogging about work for a very long time. Well, I started work in another station after my maternity leave. I feel every station is about the same, patients are either very fussy or very good or either very sick or quite well. Of course we wish for the good for everything but that is not possible. There is always a mixture of everything that makes life challenging.
I have a patient who is very attention seeking. His days are numbered that's why he seeks attention from everyone. Wants people to massage him, wants people to please him, wants people to attend to his needs, wants this and that...... everyone gets tired and sick of him. Sometimes I find him very pitiful but then at times I really find him irritating when he makes things difficult for everyone of us. He likes to say "Why are people treating me like that? Why dont attend to me??? This is not the way to treat me!!!" But did he ever reflect how he treated us???
About the staff in the station... it is a very sensitive topic. I should say every staff got their strengths and weaknesses. Hope that some of them could build up more strengths in them.
Generally it is quite a nice ward to work in because I got a very good partner. Sister Lee is humble and approachable. I am lucky to be able to work with her.

YES! AK IS COMING TO SG!

Aaron Kwok’s De Show Reel Concert was recognized by the Guinness World Record Committee in February 2008 for the largest revolving indoor stage. This is the first time a Chinese singer has been awarded the Guinness World Record for a concert! He kicked off 16 shows of the much talked-about De Show Reel World Tour at Hong Kong Coliseum!

It is no wonder that his stage performances have won him acclaim and resulted in his being dubbed by the entertainment industry as the “King of Stage”.

Aaron Kwok, Asia’s “King of Dance” as well as one of Cantopop’s Four Heavenly Kings will thrill the Singapore audience by performing his chart-busting songs on a 10 by 9 meter, 450 degree revolving stage. During the show, the stage will take Aaron back and forth as it rotates vertically and horizontally! The concerts were a triumph and were billed as “The Most Outstanding and Spectacular Concerts of the Year” by the regional media due largely for its outstanding stage design & props , complete with a 4-sided “water catwalk”, extravagant costumes and energetic choreography!

The Singapore audience can now be a part of this electrifying concert experience! Aaron will be bringing with him the crew that built the world record stage.

YEAH! I already got the tickets!!! Looking forward to 30th May!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I am going to shave my hair because I am 4 months old today! I am going with daddy, mummy and yi por Yvette!"

Went to KKH to one of the shop "Hua xia tai mao bi centre" to shave Joshua's hair and at the same time use his hair to make hair brush.

Joshua was asleep initially but after a while he woke up. Fortunately he was very cooperative in fact I felt he enjoyed the process hahahaha

Sat up to shave the back of the head.

"YEAH! It's done!!!"

"In the car seat way to AMK hub to get some groceries..."

"HEee I like my new look! Feels cool..."

My little boy

2009-03-04T23:14:00.007+08:00

Joshua was very active yesterday. He turned and wanted to stay prone most of the time.

After a while he was tired and wanted to sleep so he cried! I pat him to sleep but then he insisted to sleep on his lateral side! I turned him back he cried again! He turned back to his side, used his right hand to pull his left hand so that he can stay in his comfort position! So stubborn!!! So I left him and he slept for almost half an hour on his side.

Today I have to send him back to my parents in law house because both me and Silly hubby working morning tomorrow.

"Daddy and mummy sending me to grandparents' house..."

"Mummy....... can dont go?????? I miss you and daddy!"

My little boy was holding my finger throughout and even after he fell asleep.

Joshua was sleepy...

Sigh... miss my little boy already...

I have been doing almost all morning shift except for last Thur then followed by Fri rest day but have to wake up early to go livecourse. I was on morning duty on both Sat and Sun... what to do, I dont set my own roster so cannot comment.
Anyway... fortunately at least after I knock off I can get to see my little boy. He makes me forget all the craps that I face at work!

Holding the milk bottle for a while thennnnnnnnn SLEEPY!

First time left him on the car seat heeeee he was very obedient throughout the journey from AMK to my workplace then to Jurong! He was admiring the scenary and was also babbling heeeee

At Auntie Yvette's house~ Joshua was playing happily with his Silly daddy!

It's 7PM! Little Joshua was cranky again! After he finished his milk he slept and on the way home he was sleeping soundly on his car seat!

These few days...

2009-02-23T20:44:00.007+08:00

Started work last Fri at a station that I have never work before. Still trying to adapt to working life and the new environment. The first day we had a resus in the ICU. Nathan, Jasmine, Lee lian and myself were in the room helping with the intubation. I was telling them that it's a "refresher lesson" for me heee that evening was not very eventful though.
Today I had one eventful one at my station. One of the patient collapsed during the compress time. When I ran to her she has already turned purple though it was only less than a minute after we noticed the collapsed. I tried to wake her up but she was unresponsive. I CPR her while waiting for the E cart. After connect to the leads, we saw her ECG was in VF so we shocked her once. We managed to bring her rhythm back to sinus so she was intubated and sent to the ICU.
After the event I thought~ I was glad that I still remember how to work!
However these few days while I was working, I constantly think of my little darling. Little Joshua will stay at my mother in law'a place if I consistently work morning shift thoughout so I really miss him and his smell heeeee tired after work but no choice, I have to travel to my mother in law's place to visit him. My little darling sleeps everyday at 7pm so not too bad, after 7pm I will go back home to rest.

These were photo taken yesterday heee he was having fun!
After visited him yesterday I went dinner with pa near Sembawang shopping centre.

House of turtle soup!

Turtle soup and braised crocodile meat.

White meat (the sauce was GOOD!) and bbq wings that bought from a stall outside.

*****************************************

Today went mother in law's place with Silly hubby. Silly hubby tried to put Joshua on the car seat.

"UH... how to sit still???"

"Sit still.... uhhhh uncomfortable leh!!!"

"I want to bathe!!! Heeee daddy wrapped me with towel heeee"

Joshua

2009-02-17T23:09:00.010+08:00

"Hmmm mosquito bite me eventhough I sitting here quietly... look at my face and palm... :( "

"When daddy is not around I will stick to mummy..."

"I made noise so mummy left me on the rocker..."

"BUT no worries coz daddy came home! So I stick to daddy!!! I sayang daddy so that he will carry me heee!"

"Daddy and mummy brought me to AMK hub NTUC today. Daddy carried me and brought me around the supermarket. The place was crowded and cold so shortly...

... I fell asleep! Back home I slept on the playmat! ZZZzzzz"

Jenna and Ronnie were invited to our house for steamboat dinner (a post cny gathering as they went for long holiday)... a nice gathering ;)

Our Valentines day celebration

2009-02-14T22:09:00.013+08:00

*Surprise*~ A bouquet of flowers sent to my house and it was from Silly hubby of course!

Dinner was at Grand Copthorne Cafe Brio's.

The tables were nicely laid but this was not where we were sitted. We were given a table near the corner.

The next picture was one part of the dessert counter.

Part of the seafood bar and cheese bar.

Free flow of champagne and gifts was a stalk of rose, chocolate, teddy bear, cardholder with keychain and ... dont know what exactly was the last thing hahahaha

Hahaha look at that napkin on Silly hubby. Silly right?!?!?! No lah, it's just for photo taking purpose heee he didnt put that on lah.

The food was GREAT!

Oyster shooter! Well... I dont know how to describe the taste. It's either you can accept or cannot accept...

The next picture on the plate was lobster, lobster claw (yummy), scallop (YUMMY), oysters (YUUMMMMMY). Everything was fresh.

First picture on the plate~ BBQ squid, curry squid, bbq king prawn, goose liver, zucchine an cod fish (YUMMY AH!).

Second picture on the plate~ roasted beef, snails with mushrooms and mussels soup.

I still prefer the seafood and sashimi. Had many plates of that. Lastly I only had a bowl of chocolate ice cream and strawberry chocolate fondue.

Great dinner with Silly hubby!

HAppy Valentines Day to everyone!

I am diagnosed with...

2009-02-13T21:57:00.002+08:00

I experienced both hands pain a month after I delivered Joshua. I thought the pain will go off but then it is persistent. I finally make appointment to see the orthopedic. I am diagnosed with "De Quervain's tenosynovitis" which is a condition where the thumb side of the wrist becames painful and tender and it is caused by excessive use of the thumb results in inflammation of the tendons.
Sigh... hope I will recover from this if not I will have to go for surgery and it makes me very difficult to carry Joshua.

I have to wear this splint most of the time now .... :(

My brave boy!

2009-02-11T22:00:00.004+08:00

Today was Joshua's appointment and injection day. We kept reminding him to get him ready for the "5 in 1" jab.

"Injection? Not worry about it! Take a nap before I see the doctor! ZZZzzzzzzz"

"Mummy said go see doctor must wear nice nice..."

"OEI, I have been waiting since 315pm and now is 430pm and it's still not my turn yet! I sit until my legs tired!!! What is this?!?!!??!

After the appointment we brought Joshua to another room for injection. Silly hubby was told to hold his arms and me to press down his thigh to prevent him from kicking. The nurse injected him and we expected a loud cry BUT he didnt even move! He just stared at his daddy and just stay very still coz we were pressing him down. My little boy is so brave not like me hahahaha people have to chase me around to jab me or I will have to hold towel, hold pillow when people give me injection!

I showered him when we reached home THEN he turned! Heee so cute... anyway... hope he dont develop fever after the jab...

Louder than the TV!!!

2009-02-10T21:10:00.002+08:00

Kung fu fighting!

2009-02-09T21:30:00.005+08:00

"Hello I am baby Joshua but I know KUNG FU! Hee HEe HAA HEE!!!"

*********************************************

Today is the 15th day of CNY which is "Yuan Xiao". I brought Joshua together with dad to "Fuo Guang Shan" to pray mum. I have been thinking of her these few days... dont know why... Maybe because this is the very first CNY without mum.

On the eve of CNY, mum will always prepare food and clear up the mess in the house. She will always sleep very early in the morning like 2plus to 3plus. The next day which is the first day of CNY, I will be woken up by the smell of the food. Things like braised mushrooms with dried oysters, luo han chye, lotus soup etc etc. I continued to cook these dishes this CNY but of course not as tasty as the ones she prepared.

Whenever I recall the days when she was in hospital, it seems like a dream. Well, I really hope it was just a bad dream and when I wake up everything will be the same as before. Mum is still around and healthy helping me looking after Joshua.

.... I can only say... I know it is not going to happen but I will miss her and keep the wonderful memories of her deep in my heart, never forget.

Joshua is 3 months old!

2009-02-07T22:33:00.004+08:00

"HELLO everyone! I am a 3 months old baby! I have grown taller and heavier heee YEAH!"

Wanna share my "drumstick"?

2009-02-01T12:00:00.007+08:00

A long day for Joshua

2009-01-24T23:07:00.006+08:00

This morning brought Joshua to the market to do my last minute marketing. Luckily Jenna was there to help me to carry the stuff. I carried Joshua in the sling sarong and went around the market. People pushing one another (picking the best out of the best ingredients!) as though everything is free in the market. People also jump queue ~ GOSH! SO IRRITATING! Joshua behaved himself, he was biting his hand in the beginning then fell asleep after 5minutes of walk around the market.

Jenna and I bought our breakfast back to my house to eat. We also unload the stuff that I bought to the fridge. Phew, an eventful marketing!

Afternoon time, Silly hubby came back from work and drove us to his friend's baby first month celebration. There are TWO babies celebrating first month at two different places!

Joshua was wearing his daddy's favourite jump suit to the first party.

Joshua was enjoying himself outdoor and he got a new friend! I forgotten the name of this little boy but he is so cute. He thought Joshua's pram is his car and he pushed it around saying "vroom vroom" heeee

Guess Joshua was too tired with his "pram ride" haha so he fell asleep in the car. I changed him into another jump suit because HE STAINED HIS DADDY'S FAVOURITE JUMP SUIT WITH HIS POO!

The next destination was Changi Chalet. Joshua drooled while watching us eat! (as usual)

Later in the evening, we brought him to amk hub to get some groceries. Luckily he still behaved himself throughout! PHEW!

Came home at 930pm and HE POO AGAIN! I bathe him and he felt very fresh and alert and he started talking again!

Joshua says "HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!"

A day to relax

2009-01-22T22:56:00.002+08:00

After many days of packing and unpacking... finally we can have a day to relax. We let mother in law take care of Joshua for a day so that we can do our last minute new year shopping. There is nothing much at our new place so we have to top up a lot of stuff.
We went vivo for hair cut then went Giant to get some groceries. We bought a lot of stuff, things like food, detergent, diapers etc etc...
then we had a wonderful lunch at Modestos!

Minestrone soup and pizza

Penne with spinach and a sinful dessert
Life is great when you dont need to work (but must have $ lah)! HAAAaaaa

FINALLY~ the before and after!

2009-01-22T22:21:00.006+08:00

Lunch was great! I enjoyed the fresh sushi and hot soup udon.

After lunch he sent me back to the ward to do my stuff and he went off to work. Met some of my colleagues and... I dont look forward to go back to work leh!!!!

Yesterday

2009-01-07T17:29:00.005+08:00

Went back to AMK yesterday, the lights and fans are already up. The place has also cleared up... soon it will be ready!

We went Ikea after AMK and we had a heavy dinner! Silly hubby was very very hungry so he ordered two main course (dory with rice and salmon with potatoes) followed by fried chicken wings and meatballs! Eeeeee too much lor somemore he can tell me "I promise mama to take care of you mah, you cannot dont eat!" Dont know is real or he was extremely hungry hahaha anyway I ate small portion of the food then that Silly hubby finished everything.

These were the trolley of stuff that we got. Coffee table, dining table, 10 stools, 4 chairs, carpet and some others kitchen stuff.

We went to the delivery counter and saw "Goods below $300 delivery charge at $50 and above $300 is $55". Uhhhh how come the more you buy the more you got to pay?!?! That was not all, we thought we could choose any date for delivery however that is not the case. Delivery must be within the next 3 days if not goods will be charge $5 per day for storing there. Uhhhh! Our house not ready leh!

To save that $80 over bucks... I finally came out with an idea. I called Jenna for help! Luckily I have her this great old time friend staying opposite my block heee she agreed to keep those stuff for me in her study room till the day I move back! EHHH thanks leh friend!

We moved everything to the car then realised the stuff were SO HEAVY! How are we going to bring up to Jenna's house!???!?!?!?

Well..... wanna save $ mah, no matter how heavy we still got to carry up! (what more its already in the CAR!) Silly hubby kept repeating the sentence "EHhh buy so much willing to pay for the goods but not willing to pay for the delivery! We CRAZY hor!??!?!?!"

We carried those stuff up one by one and bags by bags. The most heavy one was the dining table! Silly hubby carried it at his back and was like "WAHHHHHHHHHH I am like COOLIE! This bloody table SO HEAVY!" HHAHAHAHahahaha I laughed and laughed! That was funny but we enjoyed doing these together hahahhahahaha that's how we helped and support each other to make things happen!

Finally got everything up to Jenna's place at 11pm. Really thank her for doing us a big favour! After settling the stuff, 3 of us went over to the house again to take a look. Hmmm really look forward to move back!

JOSHUA IS TWO MONTHS OLD TODAY!

The last day of 2008...

2008-12-31T15:43:00.005+08:00

It is the last day of the year... well, 2008... many "great impacts" on my life this year.

First was the happy occasion. The starting of another stage of my life with Silly hubby. Of course so far I was very happy and contented because Silly hubby has been very supportive and caring and I am glad that I found him. Hope we will continue to be loving always!

The next thing happened was the worst thing that ever happen in my life. The lost of mother was a great pain to me and I can say till today I still cannot accept it. I wish very much that she was still here to share our happiness and joy but.... anyway, I wish she is happy now at wherever she is.

Lastly was the birth of little Joshua. Being parents are not easy but so far we enjoyed it. Our little one has given us lots of laughter. Hope he continues to grow healthy and cheerful!

Life is full of ups and downs. I wish for a "less downs" year in 2009!

Hereby wish everyone a very HAPPY 2009! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Everyone carries me wish that I will bring them good luck and true enough, one of them strike 4D!!!!!!!!! It's a sum of 5 digits!!!!! YEAH! I AM THE LUCKY BOY!!!!!!!!!"

"I am daddy and mummy's precious!"

After Auntie Yvette's place, we went back parents in law's place to have xmas eve dinner. Mother in law prepared a lot of food. Laksa, salad, cheese and chocolate cakes, cupcakes, pasta etc etc... all made by her and there were also ham and turkey bought from NTUC. I like the turkey, it is not as dry and tough as I used to had in previous years.

It's 12MN.....

I would like to wish everyone a MERRY XMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The past few days...

2008-12-19T10:41:00.006+08:00

Well, the past few days has been busy. Besides went around searching for the suitable lights, furnitures and electrical appliances, we also pampered ourselves with good food.

Brought papa along to enjoy our favourite "paper wrapped chicken"... guess what. The last round 3 of us had 42 packets and not enough so this round we ordered 64!!!!!!!! Wow... we were impressed with ourselves hahaha

One of the day, we went Ikea and we had dinner there. The chicken wings and meatballs were my favourite!

Yesterday was more relax but also a tiring day. We were in Orchard since afternoon but fortunately managed to get all xmas presents in Taka. After the tiring day, we had thai food at the fine dining thai restaurant "Sabai" in Taka. Always enjoy eating there because they served quality food and provide good service.

Look at the presents that we got for everyone... however we also not forgetting to buy something for ourselves but it's some cheap stuff coz BROKE already hahaha. Finally Silly hubby also bought a "FAKE TULIP" for me! Haaaaa... I dont mind though it's fake because can keep it forever mah ;)

My stylo boy! Haaaa

"Daddy I dont want to take photo, I want you to put me down and play with me!!!"

"Last day" in the old house

2008-12-18T00:26:00.005+08:00

Have been busy with packing and throwing things in the AMK flat. Finally the renovation started yesterday. The place was really in a mess full of wanted and unwanted stuff. Everyone was shocked by the 30 years of rubbish kept in the house.
Not everything was exactly rubbish but because we do not want to keep so many things after the house is renovated so we got to throw most of it. Mum's stuff occupied most of the store room. She kept so many things and most of it are still usable. She also kept a lot of my childhood stuff in boxes. Things like childhood clothings, toys and books. Those are all memories... I cant keep all of them but a little here and there from each box.

Pictures taken on the second last morning at home after I bathe my little baby. I told him I need to pack the house and he slept quietly except a few times to drink his milk. Lucky me!

Late evening, he woke up and we changed him into his pyjamus. He frowned again heeee

The last day was really very tedious. The boxes are all that we wanted to keep and these are not all. The end result was almost up to the ceiling!!! The rest shown on the other picture was only part of the rubbish. There were MORE outside the house.

Sigh... a lot of things I just throw without looking at it. I like to keep things for memory sake. It was really a pain to throw the stuff that I have been keeping for years.

Well, I am sure I will be glad to see the newly renovated house in four weeks time and we are all looking forward to it!

Genevieve's birthday party!

2008-12-18T00:11:00.004+08:00

It was Genevieve's 3 years old birthday party celebration on the 12th last Sat (the actual date was on the 18th, same as Auntie Nathan). I asked her earlier what birthday present does she wants. Her reply was "Princess"... I didnt know what she meant so I didnt buy her any present instead I gave her some money to fulfill her so called "Princess" wish.

On the celebration day, I finally know what she meant. She actually wanted to dress up like a PRINCESS! In fact she has got two "Princess dresses" as birthday present.

WOW, look at the princess heeeeeee

Cute little children enjoying themselves...

...and my little one enjoyed too! ;)

The past days...

2008-12-12T21:34:00.007+08:00

"WOOOooo come back grandpapa's house... hmmm the cot here is so comfortable!... Mummy busy chatting with her friends in msn so I helped her to hold the milk bottle heeee"

"Today mummy brought me to AMK hub to meet auntie Walla and auntie Elaine. Auntie Walla played with me and pat me to sleep! ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz"

"Auntie Elaine told me to pull Auntie Walla's sunglass! Heee..... A picture of us!"

Outing day!

2008-12-06T21:59:00.005+08:00

"Everytime squeeze me so tightly to take photo... hmmmmm"

Today no one look after Joshua so we brought him out with us to the salon at Vivo and then brought him along to deliver the first month cakes. We were very very glad that he was really "guai". He only made noise twice because he wet his diapers, otherwise he was all the way asleep throughout the journey. Poor Joshua travelled with us since 11am till 830pm however like I said we were glad that he really behaved. Our first "outing" and WE MADE IT!

P/S: Oh he peeped when people gave him ang bao!!! Heeee

The first month cake from "Melrose"...

After hair cut we did not go Carls Jr... but we went BURGER KING! Haaaa dont care lah, just eat lah. People said dont eat "cooling food" during confinement, I am sure fast food is not cooling, it's super heaty.

Tomorrow is Joshua's first month and is my end of "hell experience" confinement day!

Baby Joshua

My Home...

2008-12-02T13:21:00.002+08:00

No place is better than my own home... there is still a sense of belonging though it's an old house. The moment I stepped into my own house today, I feel so RELAX... Just dont know how to explain, I really feel great with no restrictions and ... and it's really peaceful. I have been wearing a mask for the past weeks and I feel really miserable and terrible. I always hear this when I go for training "DO NOT SAY YOU UNDERSTAND the patient's feeling"... yeah, I agreed. Dont say you can understand how I feel... no one can ever understand how a person feel because you are not going through exactly the same situation... you can never understand.
All I can do is to sit and wait for the time to past. When you are miserable, you become impatient and time crawls.
It's just a half day off for me. After my appointment this afternoon, I will have to wear back my mask again. I really look forward to coming home with Silly hubby and Joshua. Again, all I can do is WAIT.
