My mind was freaking out on the thought of travelling alone with Claire a few days before we were due to go home!
Somehow, I managed to survive travelling alone with Claire! Our flight was the night flight and thus we left HK Aunt's place at 5.30pm. Doris & Mum sent us off at the airport.
We went to check in our lugguage first and i requested for assistance at the counter. The assistance provided to the boarding gate was NIL (my cousin in law told me that if i had insisted/demanded, it will be GIVEN!) The ground staff seeing that I was travelling alone with Claire allowed me to check in everything.
So, i checked in 2 suitcase + 1 box (Claire's tricycle!) that amounts to 40kg! Nevermind, i piggybacked Claire into the restricted area. Mum was worried and I told her to go back with Doris coz i will somehow survive the flight.
At the immigration, the airport staff seeing that I was travelling alone, piggybacking Claire. He directed me to the shortest queue for immigration. Afterwards, we went to the scanning station, everything was done fast!
I went to the Disney store, EYS & the bookstore to do some last minute shopping before going to the boarding gate. Somehow, i m amazed at myself, 4 bags in total with a toddler in tow.
Once, we reached the aircraft. The flight stewardess helped me to carry my bags and stowed them into the overhead compartment. The only unpleasant thing is that this male passenger who is supposed to sit in the same row as me, expressing his dislike loudly of not wanting to sit with a baby. I can understand his reason but there is no need for him to say this loudly in front of me," I DUN WANT TO SIT WITH A BABY!" Its utterly rude and i embarassed him further by commenting to Claire that noone wants to sit with us coz of her.
To me, its the best thing coz i got 2 extra empty seats. That guy is pretty dumb as there are many babies/toddlers on board and sound TRAVELS! During the flight, the air crew was very nice to me. They assured me and attended to my every needs. My dear rascal was enjoying herself by crawling up and down the aisle with me tailing behind her.
Some kind passengers played with her and told me that its not wise to let her crawl as the aisle is dirty. I told them that if i dun let her do that, she will be screaming and wailing! My dear gal only made a scene when the plane landed in Changi Airport and I thanked god for that!
When fellow passengers saw my luggage at the luggage belt, they were amazed by it! One auntie even asked, "U mean they let u check it all?"
My conclusion, travelling alone with a toddler does have its perks but its really tiring and I m glad that i survived! *Salutes* my Mum coz she also did that when i was a toddler too!

HK Trip: 18th-26th Oct 08
I will say this trip is really an experience!
First of all, Ms Piggy merlioned on me during the flight from SG to HK.
Secondly, she was down with high fever for a couple of days. The fever scared the shit out of me, my Mum & HK Aunt. Also, it gave me a real eye opener on how idiotic that GREENHORN GP at the 24 hour clinic in HK!
Thirdly, Claire learnt quite a couple of things in HK, this reaffirmed the fact that she is no pushover and might be a bully in the making.
Finally, photographs of her in HK can be seen in Facebook. For my fans (i know i m thick skinned), i will upload her photographs in a website and share the link!
Oh, here is a video (the url) taken of her before we re due home! Listen to her speaking, "Bu yao" (No in Mandarin)! It was loud and clear!

Roseola
Claire got it in HK!
We went to HK with Mum on 18 Oct and subsequently, Claire developed a high fever in the middle of the night, she was cranky and can't get to sleep.
Mum woke me up and HK Aunt accompanied me to see the 24 hour doctor at Nathan Road, Kowloon. I din know about the standard operating procedure in HK. Apparently, the clinic nurses will take the temperature of the patient if the patient is suspected to have fever.
The clinic nurse din take Claire's temperature and the moment we get to see the doctor. The doctor is a young chap and seems to me a GREENHORN! He was in the typical Catholic Priest pose (no offence to any Catholic Priest!)
The doctor asked 1001 questions about Claire's condition. HK Aunt got pissed off and questioned him why he is not taking Claire's temperature. He gave this dumbo explanation that it the SOP to ask questions before taking her temperature. Me got so fed up with his questions (they seem illogical to me) that i gave him this statement in PLAIN OLD ENGLISH, "WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?"
This greenhorn immediately took her temperature, gosh Claire is running a high fever of 39 degrees and this idiot is still giving me crap. So this greenhorn idiotic doctor prescribed some fever & additional medication (supposed to bring her fever down)...
But Claire's temperature never really went down and I have no choice but to bring her to see the PD in Central, HK. The PD immediately diagnosed her to have roseola and his diagnosis immediately reassured me. But, my heart sank when he told me that he has to teach for UTI and if Claire really kena UTI, she has to be HOSPITALISED!
The urine test was really a torture! The nurse attached an urine bag to Claire's privates. The first time, the urine bag came off. The second time, Claire did not pee and finally we got it done for the 3rd time. My dear gal wailed and screamed whenever we tried to take her temperature or put the urine bag on her!
Me was so worried and frustrated by the antics of HK Aunt. I knew she meant it for Claire's good but it was really irritating to me. I did not want her to accompany me to see the PD coz i been there before. She kept on asking people about the directions to the PD's office and doubted my words. Furthermore, she insisted that the nurse gave Claire medication to lower her temperature. And the nurse was pissed off by her insistence and gave her attitude problem!
I told Pirate King that I really went bonkers over this! Mum understood my thoughts on the whole issue. My conclusion is Hong Kongers are really 10 times more KIASU, KIASEE than Singaporeans!
So, I have no choice but to bring Claire with me back to Singapore first... Will share my flight experience again in another post!

Merlion on the Plane!!
My dear Ms Claire merlioned on me yesterday...
And she did this stunt in the air~!! We were travelling from SG to HK on the afternoon flight.
The flight stewardess passed the post weaning meal to us, my Mum told me to take it away and I told Mum that since they had given it to us. Might as well just feed her with a bit!
Awww, this little fussy piggy of mine, disliked the taste of the food... And she VOMITTED ON ME in the AIR!!! My blouse was splattered with all her puke and i had no choice but to wear the jacket all the way from the plane till I reached my Auntie's pl in HK!
That is a really MEMORABLE SQ866 flight on 18 Oct 08 for me!

Tui Na + Taxi Encounter Last Night!
I went to Tui Na yesterday after work and thank god, i only pulled my back muscles not sprained or strained it!
The Tui na lady suggested i do gui sha coz i was heaty... Wow, i almost fainted from the heat & pain when she does it! Pirate King commented that my back has 2 MRT tracks on it and told me not to wear clothes that is too low back. He joked that if ppl saw those MRT tracks, they will think that he abuses me!
After my tui na session at 8.30pm, i decided to take a cab back. I told the cab driver, "Redhill road", guess what, he drove me to Bukit Merah Central. I was not happy with him sending me to the wrong place and he still mumbled & grumbled to me saying, "Redhill not bukit merah meh!"
I told him in my matter of fact voice, "Uncle, just drive me to Redhill road that is opp Redhill MRT station." He sensed my buey song tone and kept quiet. Once i reached my place, he told me to pay $9 instead of $9.70 as per the taxi meter. I just gave him a $10 note and told him to keep the change.
For me, i just dislike his grumbling & mumbling and i pay him $10 coz he also has to spend $$ on fuel and its not easy making a living as a cab driver. I guess he s quite stunned that I gave him $10.

Value added?
My Junta boss told me that she has 3 things to discuss with me today before i go on leave tomorrow. Out of these 3 things, 1 is extremely high priority cum urgent, 1 is extremely redundant while 1 is not so urgent!
Had this conversation with one of the sales manager yesterday, the conversation is as followed:
Me: JT asked us to do the CL1 loss shipment analysis. Very bo liao one....
SM: Aiya, i already told her many times liao. No need to do one. The areas got access to the data and its not like the old times.
Me: Yalor, always ask me to chase the areas for explanation. They always ignored me!
SM: NO POINT doing but she always think such things will add value to her work!
For me, she s the boss. She called the shots and i just gotta do whatever shit she wants. Despite i think its very very non value added and pointless to do. Coz this CL1 shipment will always change as its a live system. Today, it will show a loss but tomorrow it will be a gain... And can u imagine how much "SLAPPING" i got from the areas whenever i ask them about it?
Sigh, just hope that my chance comes~

Hurts like shit
Me dunno sprained or strained my back muscles!
It hurts like shit now. It happened last night when i tried to grab Piglet as she was crawling away from me to put on her clothes...
Then suddenly, a thrusting pain... The first thing that came to my mind is, "SHIT!"
And the worst thing is Pirate King has a netball practice and cant fetch Piglet home with me. So, poor Mum (who hurt her back too) has to help me carry my bags while i carried Piglet to wait for a cab!
Thank god, the wait for cab wasn't long! Morale of story, I NEED TO EXERCISE!
PS: Down with a lousy sore throat too!

Broke
UTterly broke, over the weekend... Pirate King, me & Piglet went shopping and we bought abount $1k of household stuff.
Our shopping loot:
1. A set of WMF pots - $472, original price is $995 (Pots given by my MIL is simply too big and not useful at all! )
2. An expensive Leifheit mop set + accessories - approx $300 (our part time cleaner was complaining about our 3M mop, decided to get this coz will be easier for us to use if we decided to ask the part time cleaner to leave)
3. A Leifheit clothes dryer - $117.30 (our current one is insufficient to dry Piglet + our clothes)
4. Other miscellanous stuff!

"Papa" Chant
Pirate King is very happy! Claire called him first and now, she loves to chant, "Papa, papa, papa" non stop!
Tried to get her to call me "Mama". She will call "Mama" and then followed by "Papa" I almost fainted!
Last Saturday, she called her Gong gong aka my dad, "Pa". Her pronunciation was very good, exactly the same way i called my dad! Conclusion, she is learning how to talk like we adults! Must really mind my words in front of her!
PS: She drove me crazy last night with her "Papa" chant. She refused to sleep even though she is very tired. She did her "1000" stunt, followed by "Papa" chant and rolled about for 1.5 hours before she slept!

2 Major Companies kena shit from me!
Just to share, 2 major companies just got it from me recently.
The first one is a national carrier and famous for the "S Girl" ads. My Sis is generous & kind enough to let me redeem her KF points for air tickets to HK. I had redeemed 2 tickets (one for Mum, one for me) and due to super user unfriendly KF online system. I had to call their hotline to request for certain changes and they repeatedly told me to cancel my bookings and amend it online DESPITES me telling them SEVERAL times about my request and problem.
In the end, I managed to get an email address and wrote in to them. Thank god, my problem was resolved and i highlighted to them about their "HOTLINE". I dunno shd i choose to fly with them again in the future....
The second one is the One with the Golden Arches, my colleagues and I were working OT last thursday. We decided to order from them and get them delivered the food to us. My colleague called and they told us that they can't process our orders as their hub is closed for the time being due to the overwhelming telephone orders.
So, i called them and asked them about alternatives. They gave me a whole lot of bullshit again. And me in a lousy mood and being bitchy again, told them off again. Now i remember, i got to write in to their company and complain about it!

Ah Sow Passed Away... Sigh
Ah Sow passed away on 1st October 2007, 7pm++
She is Mum's landlady, Mum stayed at her 3 room flat in Old Airport Road when she first came to SG from Pahang, Malaysia.
Ah Sow is like Mum's sister. Whenever Mum needs help, she will call her. Ah Sow will dish out advice on what to cook for us kids & etc whenever we re down with an illness or stuff. Ah Sow even plucked "chicken shit" grass for Piglet to bath in when she heard that Piglet was down with skin problem.
Every Chinese New Year, we will go to her place and her place will be bustling with activities. The adults will gamble while we kids will play.
Ah Sow was diagnosed with cancer 1.5 years ago. Due to miscommunication or what, she did not go for chemotherapy straight after her first operation. Her condition was erratic, sometimes good and sometimes bad... About 1-2 mths before her death, I even bought Piglet to visit her at Old Airport Road. She was happily chatting with us even though, she was not feeling very well..
2 weeks later, Mum told me that Ah Sow's condition was very bad. She was bedridden and refused to talk to anyone of them. It was only when Sis told her about her impending trip to London and Piglet, then she responded. Later, Ah Sou was hospitalised for 2 weeks before transferring to the hospice.
She finally passed away and I m glad as she no longer has to suffer. Somehow, I told Mum that its better to pass away in an instant rather than in such a painful way. I wondered what will i do if such things will to happen to my parents?
Life is as such and i must learn to appreciate my parents more. And teach Piglet to love them in the way, i love them too.

Ms Claire's Birthday Celebration!
Just finished opening up her birthday presents with Pirate King. Pirate King has warned me not to get any more toys or clothes for her!
Everything went on fine except that the food was insufficient due to unexpected increase in the no of guests!
Claire seems to know that its her big day. She was cooperative, she allowed us to put on the pink clip for her and she was smiley to all except when she s sleepy! Oh, she even requested that she wants to eat her birthday cake! I just dabbed a bit of chocolate cream on her lips and she kept on mouthing, "Mum, mum" to eat the cake. We gave her a bit of it!
Will load up pictures of her celebration when i got the pix from my cousin in law. Big THANK YOU to Denise & my younger Sister in law and her 3 children for helping out with the deco!
And Me, being the clumsy Mummy, burst 4 foil balloons! Hahha! Anyway, just happy that her celebration is a blast!
