hope for the best...

been praying for my mum... results will be out next Saturday. Cos she had her check up at a polyclinic and it take a week for full results.... a week... i hope nothing serious happens to her in a week! what if??? (fingers crossed) she needed immediate medical treatment??? A Week seems so long... i was so near and yet so far from my mum this morning... she was at AMK PClinic and i was at AMK mrt station as i was gog for my lesson at Mayflower sec school. i cannot check my mobile during class and when i saw 6 missed calls 4 from my mum... my heart almost jumped out! i kept calling her back but she missed all my 10calls... i freaked out and called sis. she too didnt pick up. i kept calling and finally mum picked up. after i hung with mum, sis called... she told me mum had waited for me to finish my class in amk... my sis remembered wrongly and told her i finished at 11am... i need to report at 10am and class starts at 11am! mum waitied for pretty long time for me to call her back... sis told me she wanted to see me since i was in the area...

i apologised to my mil and got her 2 boxes of takopachi. she told me she didnt mean it too... i felt bad and i was glad she is forgiving... mum called me in the afternoon... asking if i wanted to go over... gx will be late as he has client dinner... i didnt want to trouble sis and bil... bro too... it would have been a far distance to just come get me before gog over to mums... please dun let me regret my decision to stay at home... i didnt call my mum in the nite as i was busy with baby and going thru some of my recipe books, getting ready for next week's class and i wanted to start something on my own and i wanted to conceptualise my thoughts.... feel like calling my mum now... she should be sleeping... crying as i am typing... am calling my mum now.

am glad i called mum... silly me cried like my baby... she told me not to worry... nothing wrong ... and she said if anything... she will go hospital... i can;t help it... i am born a worrier... of cos i dun want anything to happen but i can't worrying...

i am thankful to my fren ser. she happened to read my blog entry and she gave me a call but i was in class... saw her mgs and i returned her call after i settled down at home with baby... i am thankful to her, the 2 ladies who left me messages, emily and wendy... thanks ladies for your concern! i appreciate...

i was very touched when i told gx result will be out next week and he told me he knew... he called my mum at 2pm to check how she was doing.... i am very lucky to have gx. he has been busy at work, hardly call home and usually i have to check if he had lunch but yet he made it a point to call to check hows my mum. thank you dear for being so thoughtful... love you.

a sad day

its a terrible day with tons of unhappiness in me. to top it... mum is gog for a full body checkup tomolo..... both her feet is so swollen... suspected water-retention... doc wants her liver and kidney check.... cried... so worried... couldnt help it after i hung the phone with mum. baby r sat up from her rolling position to check whats happening... she gave me a tummy hug... i was lying down and she put her little head and hand on my tummy... i was trying to stop my tears and cry....then she sat up, she raised her hand and hit my left eye! she hit me several times and she hugged me again.... my little one was prob trying to wipe my tears away... i hope everything will be good with my mum...

TMC

went to YRS to get the brown rice si shen powder for baby r. this is what gx's cousin baby ate and mil was keen to give it a try. well till now as i am chasing this blog (March 7th) we have yet to open this tin as baby r fell ill, had suffered stomach flu and we were back to basic porridge and with aunt o's suggestion that babies better avoid too much chinese herb till prop they turn 1...

i didnt have fever but i bought the fever relief that says help to cure cold, fever, cough, sore thoart relief as i suffer from the rest! not sure if this helped as my mil brewed lots of liang teh for me and the rest of the family!

yummy yummy!!!

Mil has been adventurous and been trying out boxed paste and she made it so good that it taste so pro! she of cos adds the freshest ingredients and it was a nice change during cny to eat mainly chinese food! the other good thing i had was the paradise pear i got! these little tiny pears are sweet! what a treat!

i wish i have more determination to cook and just deal with the washing up!

my sweet sweet dear!

on the first day of CNY = Feb 14th = Valentines' Day... my dearest one was a very sweet guy.

a beautiful card with beautiful message, $100 shopping voucher & an angbao for me!

M...I iii ....L...l......k

yesterday evening, we visited gx's ex-collegue at her place. gx decided not to bring her baby bag up as he tot we were just going to sit for awhile... her milktime was 30mins away... so we didnt bring in the end... we chatted and suddenly little baby r kept saying something...

I looked at her and she was looking at me, mouthing a word... you can tell as she is repeating and she uses a force, her mouth would slowly move and the word would sound out.... aaa...MiiiiLlllllll ...k (silent K). i look at her and waited for her to do it again and i said to her "r u saying milkmilk???" she smiled and clapped her hands... and repeated the word again...

gx' fren was excited too! she say she tot she heard the same thing as me! daddy was just stunned. baby r repeated a few more times and got irritated as she was not given milk as she had asked for and was about to cry! i gave her a pacifier to buy time and we extended our chat 20mins and we left. she was sitting in her car seat waiting impatiently but still she didnt cry and when she was done with the milk... she slept all the way till we got to mums.

shared excitedly with mum and sis. as they know... it will be baby r's call to ever say anything or do anything. but they got to see for themselves how baby r give hi-5 more readily when we are leaving and she even waved byebye to them without prompting.... did i teach her??? the answer is not really....  she watched us and learnt. she would imitate and i corrected her. I told her to put the hand up is to ask a question or say HI. then when she wave her hand up and down - thats to say byebye... Hi-5 was when she started clapping her hands, she likes the sound when she slap her tiny hand on the bigger hand. all i did was to hold her hand a few times teaching her how to aim and hit to make the sound she wants to hear! really excited to see her achieving milestones after milestones!

2nd Lo Hei on the 3rd day!

CNY 3rd day - dinner at Uncle J's house. its my 1st time visiting his new place even thou they shifted in for quite a while. i almost wore lime green top! if i did then it would have been such a colour-coordinated pic! baby r still loves holding onto the oranges! the house area is HUGE! i love the layout! the living room is great! love the spacious feel!

 

while the dvd is on.... the adults watching the homemade photoslide show again.... while i chill out with baby r in the room as she needed to catch her nap. my younger cousins all wanted to play with their little niece... so she was awake and managed to take some photos with them. baby r was alittle cranky as she lacked naptime. so while sis helped to carry her, i snapped more pics for the little ones. i like the pic where they pose as their horoscope!

my dad was eager to carry baby r. he misses her grandaughter and little one was in a cranky mood and didnt want to leave me... told her to stop being little missy and if she didnt let gonggong carry for 10mins. i would extend the time for another 10mins! she calm down and didnt make a noise. she knew i mean it. i forbid sis walking near baby r!

thats how much carrot we need for 2 huge platters for our family yusheng! i hope this tradition continues ... my grandpa loves yusheng. he is the one who kept this tradition gog in the family over the years. mum learnt how to make as it more practical as we sure need alot of packets if we buy them ready from restuarants!

Gx took the huge family pic, standing on the chair. so he's not in the photo and i am thankful he did it for me! i wanted to do it and he took the camera over from me. we didnt have hands to bring our camera stand with us!

my first time carrying my little one for Lo Hei!

SI04 CNY 2010 gathering

CNY 3rd day. went over to yvonne's house for cny celebration. it great that our schedule permits meeting up with our SI classmates! we always miss out lots of gatherings because of timing clashes. not a huge turnout but am glad that we made it. little one met another june baby girl who's a few weeks younger.

baby r set her eyes on the other baby's toy as she wants to examine the buttons! and when the other baby had enough, she took her seat! its the first time baby r sat in a movable toy. after awhile, we got her out of the toy and she hugged me so tight and i hugged her back! then she wanted to stand and she did for awhile and i held her hands up and make her boogie! we were having some fun on our own while waiting for Huiyi to set up yummy yusheng!

baby r as usual loves accessories. she kept her eyes on Sharolyn's red braclet and Serena's tiffany necklace! daddy took her over to relieve my tired ching body. as usual daddy loves getting her high up and she enjoys it. baby r was in a pretty good mood even thou she didnt sleep much.

more ladies than guys turned up for the event but i was happy to be able to be part of it this year! the yusheng Huiyi made was nice! instead of salmon or fish, we had abalone! thanks to HY we has some tossing to lift up the mood! haven seen everyone for a long time and i was glad to meet up with Serena but we idnt say much thou... no time to chat as baby r stuck herself to me and kept moving non-stop! Adela was already asleep, leaving the 2 youngest to play with each other.

the 2 little ones stood up and held onto each other and baby r loves interaction with other babies or kiddos. but she got tugged and pushed and she didnt like it and i had to put the camera down to take her away. she seemed upset... she hugged me tight. but babies, toddlers will not know how to control their strength and its part and parcel of little ones getting together.

by the end of the session, baby r was the only little one who is awake and we could not join them for dinner as we were gog over to Uncle Jm's house for dinner. the rest were gog to have dinner together. the funny thing was... gx drove over to Uncle Jm's house and it was about 2 streets away. he alighted us and went on to find the carpark... i wanted for quite some time and when i calle gx... he appeared in an opposite direction that i wasnt expecting him to come from... he told me that after making his round... the nearest carpark is the one at Yvonne's place!

baby r's 1st lion dance!

CNY 3rd day. while everyone was out to go visit Gx's 1st uncle, baby r and i stayed at home. while she napped, i started to load the many pics taken over the 4 days since the nite we had reunion dinner with popo! then we head over to aunt k's house.

Popo was there and was waiting for us the whole afternoon! i decided to wait for daddy to come home to go over and didnt expect him to come back later than expectation and anyway baby r was still napping! little one was thrilled when daddy took the puppet lion to tease her! this little one is not afraid of anything and she kept stretching her hands out, trying to catch the lion! we didnt stay long as we needed to go over to a friend's place for visiting. i had my 1st bite of nian gao at aunt k's place! it was sooo good! glad i popped by! somehow this year, my favorite food is the love letters, the ones irene's granny made and i have been wanting to eat nian gao!

baby r's 1st mandrin orange
