Back in Sg soon!

My notti gal is going to be back home on this Saturday!

Yippee!!! My baby is separated from me for 2 weeks!!! The last time of separation was she has to be hospitalised for jaundice when she was 6 days old. The separation period was only 2 days!

I really miss her terribly, looking forward to her cheeky smiles and laughter!

Sianz, mangoes!

I m so sianzzzzzzzzzzz aka bored at work!

Been assigned a new project but simply not interested in it. There has been talks of the company being bought over by our Competitor aka the government! Thus, i simply dun understand why we still have to be so onz about this project!

The most happy thing is one of our agents sent us Mangoes!! They are Alphonso Mangoes, the world's best mango! Yup, it definitely tastes better than Australia Mangoes!

Just looking forward to 6pm so that i can go home!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Hehe, managed to dig up my 1001 old passport photograph. Claire seems to be a splitting image of me! Both photographs are taken when both of us are around 3 months. One difference, Claire does not have as much hair as me! :P

Siblings Love

I m so thankful to Sis! *Hugs* *Muaks*

Even though, Sis & I are not on the best terms during our childhood days but the love and concern she has for me really shamed me for not being a good elder sister to her.

Sis is going to HK during her one month break to bring Piglet back home! Mum can't really cope travelling alone with Piglet due to age. So, my dearest Sis is helping me out with that!

I even told Sis to help me take more pictures of Piglet in HK! Sis was so funny, she told Mum to hang in there for another 2 more days and she will be there!

Inconsiderate Fools!

Most of us, poor struggling working adults will take MRT as the main form of transportation to work.

The amount of annoying, inconsiderate commuters has been increasing too. These inconsiderate fools like to read the newspapers when the train is crowded or packed. If not, those fortunate ones that has a seat will tend to stretch their best foot forward. Or, somehow dunno for whatever reasons, the commuters simply refused to move into the train cabin. Perhaps their legs are stuck to the floor?

There is no issue with the above behaviour but it is an issue when you re in a packed train cabin! It creates annoyance to people. I was so irritated by such behaviour that at times, i really voiced it out.

Sigh, feels like Singapore is becoming another Hong Kong in this aspect.

Shoes!

Hehe! This is the pair of Adidas shoes that I bought for Claire in HK! I will only let her wear it when she starts learning how to walk!

I got her the blue colour one coz i m so sick of having Pink for all her stuff. Who says gals must wear the SWEET PINK all the time!

Anyway, i think this pair of shoes will be rare to find in Singapore. Being unique really satisfies the vain mama in me! Haha!

List of stuff to do

Well, I have another 1 week of break before Claire is back home. I had drafted out a list of things to do.

1. Clear the rubbish in my house
2. Bring home Claire's stuff in my parents' place
3. Sleep well
4. Go for a massage
5. Iron my clothes
6. Re-organise my stuff

I dunno how much of it can be achieve but I will try! Hehe!

Heart Breaking!

Sobs!!! It is so heart breaking!

My baby gal refused to listen to my voice over the phone! Awww!!!

I called Mum in HK everyday and Mum will put Claire to the phone to have a conversation with me.

Yesterday, Mum told me that Claire 's expression upon hearing my voice is one of a pissed off look! Guess Claire is angry that her Mama "dumped" her in HK for 2 weeks!

Keeping fingers crossed that Claire remembers me when she is back in Singapore! I miss my cheeky gal!

PS: Mum told me that she attempted to eat the houseplant in HK Aunt's house. My greedy gal!

Wide Awake

This is my little rascal when she refuse to sleep at night. Also, the first time i saw her putting her hands together in this position. Most people who saw this picture commented that she looked like she is in an important meeting!

That's my cheeky gal! Very proud to have a cheeky gal too! Hehe!

Solid Food

Claire is still in HK with my Mum at my HK Auntie's home.

My Mum has been feeding Claire, rice cereal, porridge with carrot and apples. So far, the feedback from my Mum is that those solid foods that are tasteless will be totally rejected by that little rascal.

She would make those yucks faces and spat it out, followed by crying. In the end, my Mum has to give her milk to satisy her hunger.

I guess we made the mistake of letting her try out apples as her first solid food! I have a feeling that Claire is going to be particular about food like Pirate King & I. Guess being particular is a trait of her parents!

HK Trip

Back from the HK trip yesterday.

It was an experience travelling with Piglet. It wasn't a good start to begin with, our flight got delayed, the airconditioning was not working during the flight, Piglet's eczema acted up and not to mention STEWPIG behaviour from Pirate King.

I really wouldn't want to travel with Pirate King with or without Piglet. He will be the death of me! I believe i can cope by myself even if travelling alone with Piglet.

Anyway, i din do much on this trip except to show Piglet off to all the relatives and friends in HK and managed to get some shopping done for myself.

Will follow up with more posts on the reason for not wanting to travel with Pirate King.

Eczema Part 8 - Visit to the PD in HK

Claire had diahorrea on her 3rd day in HK and not to mention that her eczema flared up too!

So, we brought her to see the PD recommended by my cousin, Michael. This PD happens to be involved in the field of dermatology too and he has a plaque in his office that says, "Eczema Expert".

Dr Chow is a patient and caring PD. He knows how to distract Claire as Claire was in her "tear the house down" mode when he was taking her weight & height! Basically, what he said is the same as what Dr Chan said but he gave us a detailed explanation.

Its a godsend! The medication that he prescribed for Claire is working and she seems to have better skin now! I hope she will outgrow it fast!

Eczema Part 7

It seems that Physiogel Cream works better than a lot of other creams that we applied on her.

May Claire 's skin recover faster! :)

Idiotic Car!

SFX 3349 - A Silver coloured Lexus! Dun ever let me see you again!

Bloody stupid driver has the cheek to give me that kind of hand signal!

Hallo, that is the zebra crossing, you have to give way to me! Just because you re driving a bloody Lexus and I have to give the F***ing way to you! Fat HOPE!

Eczema Part 6 - KKH Visit

On Monday, 7th April 2008, Pirate King & my Mum brought Claire to KKH for her scheduled appointment to see a specialist on her eczema.

As usual, no matter how early you reached the hospital before your scheduled appointment time, you still have to wait like crazy in order to see the SO CALLED specialist at all government hospitals!

1st blooper of the day, the nurse requested Claire to be put on the weighing machine to record her weight. Guess what, the weighing machine and the measuring machine is very close to each other. And the measuring machine still has a newborn there, the moment Mum put Claire on to the weighing machine, Claire started to do her fave stunt - Kicking!

Guess Claire almost kicked the head of the newborn and the parents of the newborn was shooting eyes daggers at Mum! Anyway, its not Mum's fault. Another nurse immediately moved the measuring machine further away from the weighing machine!

2nd blooper of the day, the PD aka the SPECIALIST referred Claire to another SPECIALIST (paediatric dermatologist) in KKH for her eczema and the appointment date is scheduled on 4th July 2008. I was like WTF! By then, Claire might have outgrown her eczema already!

3rd blooper of the day, Pirate King forgotten to tell that SPECIALIST that Claire's eczema flared up even more when Claire is being fed soy formula (on the topic of changing milk powder).

When it comes to children, Men are usually careless on them. Sigh, the next appointment i can't even make it! Hopefully, i manage to find a new job and i m able to bring Claire there!

Smelly Pillow!

Claire has her own smelly pillow!

I discovered this unexpectedly. Last night, I saw her putting that beansprout pillow to her nose and smelled it several times!

This morning, Sis came in to play with her and i told Sis about her smelly pillow. Sis put the pillow near to Claire's nose and my silly gal smelled it!

Somehow i wonder, why the beansprout pillow that has Claire's poo strain, urine strain etc etc is her fave now?

Babies are funny creatures!

Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its Super Claire!

This cheeky gal of mine became Super Claire at 4.49am this morning!

Claire sleeps on my brother's bed whereas I sleep on the floor. This morning, I was sleeping soundly and instinctly I turned to sleep on my side.

The moment, I turned to my side. A loud thud was heard and I saw Claire in the crawling position on my mattress. She was looking around and giving me this mega watt smile! Thank god, the fall distance between her bed and my mattress was not that high! The amazing part is that she did not cry at all. Most babies would have cry for falling!

Anyway, i put her on her back and attempted to sleep. Unfortunately, she was so wide awake that she kept on kicking and singing song to herself. In the end, I went to the kitchen and prepared her feed.

As usual, she did not finish her milk and she refused to sleep till 6am. Guess what, she woke up at 7.30am again in time to see me leave for work!

I seriously dunno what to make of Claire but I do know that her mega watt smile is enough to melt every frustrations in raising her!
