What an uneventful last day...

The team committee suggested our whole team to go do some volunteering work on my last day. Initially was a get together KTV, but then was already booked. Whole of singapore all booked meh? And to think the person who suggested it was my closest colleague.

I just have to decline and say I will not join them. She said she suggested, coz she will be going. I feel she should not presume everybody will go just coz she is going? IF they are interested to go, they would have alredy signed up mah, make sense? Now the mgt is enforcing it to be compulsory. Sorry lor, I have decided to throw mc on that day.

Period.

==============================
Ho ho, hubby just called! the 2nd company called him up and they wanna meet him. Infact, the agency called him yesterday morning and afternoon to ask him consider, and he decline and he didnt dare tell me! and today the finance director called him, wanting to meet him up! He's at a lost now! ahahahah...

this 2nd company is very near to our place just few busstops only, has a direct bus and is paying higher, as compared to the 1st one. Anyway, i told him, go see the 1st one tonight, then 2nd and 3rd one tomorrow and see how it goes....I pray he gets a good job.

Tired

I'm getting tired mentally and physically. This whole month isnt a good month for us at home. There has been so much arguements, quarrels that I'm so sick and tired of it. Suicide thoughts...but what about Riesia? I dont want her to be brought up by a wicked stepmum who abuse her, or what if she becomes a bad child?

She is the most important to me now, nothing else matters. No matter how angry am I, once I see her and she smiles, all the unhappiness just disappears. I never knew how magical and strong a child's smile would be, until I become a mum myself.

Last night after the huge arguement, I just broke hell. I screamed and vent my anger in the room. My parents came by with Rie and I had to take care of her myself while doing the packing, washing the milk bottles and then entertaining her till her sleep time. She was a good girl, I think she was tired too, so she slept at 1030pm. But then, she kept waking up crying 3-4 times and only managed to sleep well at 1145pm. And I thought I can have an early night. Dude.

I wish next month would be a better month for us. Or perhaps this house of ours, we would always argue?
=========================================
Visited my gf at TMC. Her bb girl is so darn cute! Her lashes are so long and she have thick hair and bushy eyebrows. Looks like the dad more. Lips resembles mum. Had a little chat and we left as she had to bf her. I'm happy to see her joining motherhood, we would have more to chat next time!

4d....

Forgot to add that 2 weeks ago, dad strike 4d again...This time round also starter, but then only $1250. Mum said he normally buy $10 one, but dont know why that day he just buy $5. He said he's got too many numbers on hand liao lor...wasted, arbo strike $2.5 leh.

And the winning lucky number is 6057 which is picked by his granddaughter, my bb girl Rie. She hand picked the numbers in office one day and mum even told me about it! I just merely laughed it off saying she has already let you all strike before(her IC number). And just within 2 months, the number opened...and coincidentally is my dad's and mum's age too.

Dad's very happy and he's gonna buy more toys for Rie....She sure is our lucky charm.

No luck for me though, I bought 1928 coz it's my date of birth and age, and darn, my IC open 7928. I got buy this number leh, but then that day it just didnt occur to me to buy and that number open. See lah..no luck no luck!!!! Must sprinkle some lucky water man...

Last Monday of the month of Oct

Today is exactly another 14 more working days before I become SAHM officially.

Gf just delivered via induce on 28th, bb Kae at TMC. Hubby is suggesting that I deliver my 2nd child at TMC, but then I already am so used to Glens and I like the environment there...Although TMC is very near to us lah, is more convenient...But then....sigh..it also depends on my gynae on which hospital he would deliver as well right? Anyway, still a long way to go lah.

Wah, seeing my gf's bb pix reminds me of Rie. Looking back, a child really grows up very quickly. She is already coming to 8 months and have learnt so much. She's starting to feel very attached to me recently. Whenever hb carries her, and I go out of her sight, she starts to yell and wail, until I appear again or hubby carries her to find me in the kitchen, study room.

Brought her to office last Friday, wah, think she not in a good mood leh, yell and yell, then she burst into tears when my colleague "kipnapped" her away...ahahahah, aiyo..Yesterday at MIL place, she didnt want SIL either. But as long as they hid her in the bedroom, and she cant see me, then she wont yell. But I dont like the idea of having to keep cooping her up in that miserable room, with NO ventilation and lousy mattress that sinks in the center.

And they always like to put rie on the bed and let her crawl around etc. Rie gets tired also mah, so I dont understand why cant they just carry her. How often do they get to carry her? only once a week and we stay at their place for about 3- 4 hours only. BUt I cant say anything. Then MIL kept saying "gao gao" as in child, but then like puppy leh. Wah liao eh. I brought this issue up to hubby, he say it is their hokkein way of calling a child affectionately. Sigh....

Then we talked abt rie starting to keep relying on her left hand and I said I'm trying to correct her. I shouldnt have brought that up, coz SIL is a leftie and then of course she sure challenge and say why must correct Rie and that lefties are fine with using mouse, rulers etc and are normally very creatives. Sigh...I should have just kept my mouth shut. Rie is MY daughter. Period.

Hubby seem to be getting luck on his job interview. He has so far attended 2, 1 called him up for a 2nd round tomorrow and another is scheduled this Wed. I was happy for him for the one that called him up for 2nd round. It is near our home, and is a all ladies department. SO if he is selected, he will be the only male in the whole dept. And what shocked me was that he said he didnt want to go! I was so upset, disappointed and didnt know what to say. Then he spoke to his sis and then after much talking, he said he will still go. I told him straight in the face and infront of SIL that of all people, he will never choose to listen to me. He will listen to his sis, his bro, his best friends, everyone except me and it hurts.

Anyway, good thing is, he will be going for the interview and I told him to just take things easy and see how it goes...Shall update if there is good news.

Some random photos...

First pix showing Rie wearing the babylegs that I've bought for her..so darn cute... This is another funny pix of Rie, who just woke up from her sleep and feeling lazy...

Riesia loves to sit horse...

I simply love to have play time with Riesia before we sleep. everynight, I would pei her on our mattress and interact with her.

She now has great imagination! We place her to sit on our bolster and she imagines it is a horse and holds up the front pulling to and fro and smile and smile. I should take a video the next time. Then I would add in some sound effect lor of the horse galloping...hee hee..Maybe someday bring her to sit those kiddy rides..but not cheap leh, some as ex as $2...tsk tsk...

Sick....

I've fallen sick. Nothing serious, but I have a very sore throat, and blocked nose. Guess it must be the stress of taking care of Rie during the weekend that I got sick...Sigh...Throw MC to rest at home.

Hb and I went to market to have our breakfast and I wanna highlight an incident that I saw.
This man walked up to the stall selling the pancake peanuts. There was another lady standing next to him. The man handed the $ to the stallholder and then a $2 note dropped onto the floor. I couldnt be sure if that $ belongs to the man or the other lady or the stallholder. Anyway, the man walked off after he handed the stallholder the $. Coins I presume.

Then the other lady spotted the $2 note on the floor, bend down, picked it up and stuff into her jeans pocket. However, while withdrawing her hands from the pocket, the $2 note fell out again onto the floor. This time another lady behind her spotted the $2 note, stepped on it and picked it up and used the note to pay for her pancakes. I told hubby what I saw and he said, if the money is yours, it will be yours. If it is not yours, then it is destined not to be yours. Oh well....

Updates on Rie. Rie seems to be allergic to the medication. We arent sure, but I'm suspecting she is allergic to the xiao man tou that I bought and fed her on Monday. The brand is Pigeon brand, the spinach version. She likes it alot and just after I fed her, the very next day Tuesday, red spots started to appear all over her body. Will have to monitor her...

Mum say she can sit up by herself liao. But she has to go to a corner, before she can prop herself up. At home, she uses one hand to support herself sideway...hahahah, very funny one. She's learning fast, she knows what is bird, cat, dog, fish, the letter "O", and she knows how to drink from a straw! And best of all, she recognizes me from photo, I'm so happy. Whenever I asked her "where's mama?" she would turn her head towards the photo and smile. When I show her our wedding photo frame and ask her the same qn, she would extend her hand and touch my image on the photo, instead of hubby. hahahahahah..he is so jealous.

Rie loves to watch Barney & friends too. I have no choice lah, I need to keep her quiet during her feeding time, so whenever I turn it on, she knows it is feeding time....
==========================================
On the way home on Tuesday, we saw this couple with a young boy on the mrt. They board the NEL at dhobby ghaut. The boy looks like he is about 4- 5 years old. The mother looks young with this man. When the boy kept fussing the mother talked to him and try to meet his needs, while the man just stood there and looked in the opposite direction at the telly.

I whispered to hubby, that's her boyfriend. He said no, that's the husband. And so, I told him to observe and watch. The man doesnt even look at the child when he calls out to mummy. Only mummy attends to him and the man gave the same reaction each time the child calls mummy. He just looked away and didnt bother. Then when the child self entertain himself, mummy got closed to her boyfriend. They chat and smiled and seem happy. That's when I told hubby, "See. That's her boyfriend."

We caught the attention of the little boy and hubby smiled to him. He's so cute. I feel sad for him, but I do not know what is the whole story about. I sure hope he will be in a happy family and that his mummy would still love him.
==================================
Mum told me last night that the 4th floor neighbour bought 2 pigeons and killed them and drain their blood out. That explains why we would have seen the dead pigeon in the box at the dustbin on Tuesday!

So cruel leh. Mum said they do that, bring the blood to hospital and smear it on the auntie's face. Coz the auntie gena stroke, then her mouth crocked and so if they apply the blood, she will recover. Why they believe in that? Coz their father had stroke and they did that and the father's mouth recovered.

But so cruel leh....so poor thing....the 2 pigeon's life ended like that.

What a busy weekend...

Rie's fever went up and down during the weekend and we had to sponge her to cool her down on Sunday night.

MIL came over on Sat, wah, the minute we woke up from our nap, she started to nag, ask me dont bring rie to swimming anymore. I told her sick how to bring, then she say not sick also cannot bring. The water is dirty water. I rebuke back, no such things one lah. Thinking back, I must have been very pissed with her comments that I rebuke back. Arbo normally I keep quiet. HUbby gave me this very smirk look. WHy? coz I'm getting lectured by her just like he got lectured by my dad.

Then she starts her nonsense again lor, calling rie "Gao Gia" as in good child, but it sounds like puppy in the word gao. Dad once told hubby to tell her and she stopped, but now she is starting again. It's been weeks already, every week she will say that to Rie at her home. I dont know how to bring up to hubby, coz I dont want to get arguements with him. And whenver he tells his mum, she will argue back, I hear liao also xian half.

Sunday FIL and SIL came. As expected, SIL came & slept in our house. It is always like that and I did voice out to hubby before. But what can I do? They must zhi dong also mah. I rather they sleep at home and when they are fresh then come our house. Hate it hate it. Period

Last night, Rie was in great pain at her butt butt....She had red angry rashes around her a** and it was hurting her when she pee and when I wash her butt. Poor girl. Had to call mum for the cream at 10pm. I hope she is feeling better now...I missed her when I bid goodbye to her this morning and she seemed sad, kept wanting to follow me to work...boo hoo...

Riesia is sick...

This time is for real. Riesia's first battle with fever....

I'm not sure how she caught the fever either. She was fine on Thursday night when I took her home and she slept at 1030pm.

Then morning when I brought her over to mum's place, she was still sleeping. It was around noon when I received dad's sms that she doesnt seem to be at her usual self. Didnt smile, didnt play much, kept fussing, didnt want to eat her porridge or drink her milk and kept wanting them to carry. Didnt sleep much in the afternoon as well.

I told mum to help monitor her. Then 2 hours later, mum called to say Rie has fever, at 38. Called up hubby and he panic liao lor. That's the thing about him, he gets very panicky each time something happens to Rie and he would start thinking all the negative things.

After work, both of us rushed home and mum said her temp went up to 38.3. So we took her to the TPY children's clinic to see Dr Heng. I found this PD from the forum and since it is nearby, why not give it a try. HUbby insisted on going to A&E at KK, paying $75. He claim that this includes medication, but I"m not sure. Coz the last time, the nurse gave us panadol for Rie at no charge, so he presumes that $75 includes medication liao. Got so good meh?

Anyhow, heng the clinic not crowded. Dr Heng checked on Rie's ears, chest and then her throat. Rie started wailing real loud. She dont normally cry that loud one leh, I felt so heartpain. Dr Heng said Rie has very red throat, having throat infection and that leads to the high fever at 38.6. So she had to bring the fever down fast and inserted this pill into rie's a**. When I knew what's gonna be done, I was expecting much struggling from her and crying. but no leh, she remained as per norm and heng lor. Phew....

We then brought her home and she was very hungry that she drunk down the 140ml milk in the car. So worried for her. We had to feed her with the high fever medicine and pink one every 3 hourly. That means 12mid, 3am, 6am, 9 am. When rie finally fell asleep at 130, I was already dying...and thought I have another 1-2 hour sleep before 3am comes, but I overslept and woke up at 6am only. Haiz...So quickly gave her the medication and it took me abother 1 hr to coax her to bed.

I put the kodomo fever pad on her forehead and chest to help cool her body down. Her hands and feets were cold, but body was really very warm, especially her forehead, eyearea and back of her neck. Sigh. It didnt help that hubby was sound asleep like a log and Rie kept fussing. At least she is willing to lie against my chest to sleep. I'm more than happy that she will rest.

We took her to Dr Heng again in the morning for follow up. Rie's temp dropped 37.6, finally. I thought the battle was over, until the evening, she started to fuss, felt very very tired and listless and eyes were red. I took her temp and it shot up again to 38.5. Back to square one all over again. We placed her in the tub of tap water as adviced by Dr Heng to cool her temp down. She seems happy to play with the water. Fed her medication and she fell asleep at 11pm...

I'm gonna go to bed liao, have to wake up later to feed her medication again.....

Bored

.....Time pass by so slowly that I wish it is the end of Oct liao.

And that means when Nov is here, xmas is just around the corner!!! It's my favourite season of the year - Christmas...I love sight seeing the decorations along Orchard Road, listening to Xmas Carols, songs, exchanging gifts, decorating xmas tree...

talking abt xmas tree, hubby said he wanna get 1 this year for Rie, so we are going to hunt for a xmas tree. My gf blur's hb bought one from concourse last year at a very cheap price! Maybe we shall go hunt there too...But where to put in our tiny house??? ah dui...

Growing up....

I had a taste of being a one day SAHM yesterday. Wah, really not easy now, as compared to when Rie is just 3 months old, where I can just feed her and she would doze off for the next 3 hours.

We woke up at 1030am (shiok leh), then I placed her in the walker, right infront of the toilet door, while I showered.

Was glad I had rabbits in the kitchen, so that they can entertain her while I took my 10mins shower. (I used to shower in 15 mins, but then, with Rie now, I managed to cut short to 10 mins. At times, 3-5 mins I'm done when she starts to yell...)

And so while showering, I had to talk to her constantly, playing peek-a-boo. She enjoys watching people doing work, being busy, so it was a breeze for me. Once I'm done, it was her turn. I've just learnt how to shower her alone, starting with washing her hair, which is a major task for me.

I would now lay her on my thighs and kept talking, singing twinkle little stars and red little indian to her so that she can be distracted while I shampooed and cleanse her hair. Once that's done, its to the bathtub. It's a very big deal to bath her in the bathtub which she is going to outgrow soon. She knows how to pull herself to stand up and it is so hard to get her to sit still. Oh man. At times, when you scold her, she would look at you in the eyes with her wet eyes and then grin. It just melts your heart, how to scold her like that?

Then, I bf her and she took a 45mins nap till 1245pm. That gave me time to prepare her lunch ~ Fish & Xiao Bai Cai porridge, clean up the rabbit cage and took another quick shower.
Just nice when she is up, the porridge is done and it is barney's time. We watched barney while I fed her. She finished up all the porridge. One must really have great patience feeding a baby. She would jump and jump in her walker, then get choke and cough all the porridge in her mouth out onto the floor and my face! Arbo, she would spit out or attempt to yell, scream with her mouth full. And then mummy have to be a clown and act childish and be surprised and distract her to open up her tiny mouth just to get that spoon of porridge in.

I was happy that she finished up all her porridge. At least my cooking wasnt that bad afterall har. By then it was 145pm, carried her, play with her awhile before bf her for her afternoon nap. She fell asleep at 230pm and it was time for housework..

I took the time to iron all the shirts and clothings, while she slept in the playpen. Normally she would sleep till 5plus, but she had a nightmare and woke up crying at 430pm. Gotta drop all things and craddle her to sleep on and off till 530pm. Played for awhile while waiting for hubby to come home.

And so that was my day. It was a smooth sailing day I must say, but I hardly had time for myself. HOpefully it would get better....
==========================================
Sent rie to mum's office this noon. I took half day AM, was just too tired. Put rie to sleep at 1215am, she woke up at 1am, 430am. I didnt sleep a wink. I've not been able to sleep soundly lately, dont know why. Haiz..

Mum said a small bird flew to our house yesterday and hid in bro's room. It was a very tiny bird, I think it is a singing bird. It shit in our toilet and then flew to bro's room. he got a shock of his life, coz the moment he switched on his room light, the bird flew and he thought it was a HUGE moth and ran out of the room screaming. In the event, he knocked his leg on the chair and hurt himself. Muahahahah... (bad sister)

Anyway, mum managed to catch it and it is now in the house. I'm intending to get a cage and some food for it tonight. It must be very hungry, coz mum only managed to feed bread. Will load some photos when I snap it.

Half day....

Today our company declare half day as tomorrow is Hari Raya Puasa and we have a half day once a year. Monday is a replacement holiday for us so is a long break for me to rest. Hee hee..No need to wake up so early on Monday. Woo-Hoo.

Last night mum told me dad's memory is failing him. He lost his bunch of keys(which includes my hse key) last week and he traced back the road to find his keys with my bro.

Not able to find, he was angry and upset. Then mum went to the police post to make a report and coincidentally, the police said a lady has returned a bunch of keys and it's dad's. Well...IF he had lost the keys, then hurray, I wont need to ask for my housekeys back. But then, it would definitely create alot of problem as he has many keys - his car, his office, his duno what.

Then recently, he lost his golf set also. See lor..haiz...I dont really like the idea of him taking up golf. It is an expensive hobby and he keeps spending his money unnecessarily. Sigh....

Rie is feeling much better already, more or less back to her old self, rather than being so upset. I'm waiting for her bump to subside before I snap a pix of her to make her passport. She is a very smart girl, learning many things day by day. I really wonder when I become a SAHM, where to get so many ideas on how to entertain her?

Mum brought up the subject abt maid yday again. I told her I'm extending my last day in order to claim the eben. Then she said, if I like to work, why dont get a maid? She thinks I wont be able to cope with Rie and housework alone next time and tire myself out. She said why not get a maid?

I told her, maid is also a human, also get tired right? Why dump rie to maid for what? I rather be the maid, if I can be with rie 24 hrs.

Anyway, told her that's my final decision. Full stop. Will probably give tuition or find some other alternative to get income...

Teary Thursday...

This morning, after we arrived at my mum's place, I couldnt find my diamond ring on the spot where I left it yesterday. I panic and kept searching. It was placed next to my watch last night before I went back home and now it's gone!!!!

I got so panicky and rushed back home to check if it is at home...I remember very clearly I didnt wear it back and was very sure.

Nonetheless, I rushed back and true, it wasnt on the table and I started to burst into tears!!! I was SOOOO terribly upset!!! I called hb and kept crying and crying over the phone. I then called up my mum to ask if she found it, she said there wasnt any. She comfort me and said she go and find again.

Just 2 mins later ,she said she found it. It's at the chair at the corner. Must have slipped off. I called hubby to tell him she has found. Then it occur to me if she lied to me so that I could stop crying and head to work. Silly tot, but who knows? So I called again to ask her and she said she really found it. I will get to find out this evening when I return home. After this lesson, I will NEVER misplace my rings EVER again....
================================
I was looking forward to my short day spa escape at Bintan on the 15th, but then now have to cancel it. Why? Coz of stupid me. Yes, STUPID me lah. My passport is less than 6 months validity, expiring 31 Jan 08 and I still think, as long as passport not expired, still can use mah. Who knows, cannot buy ferry ticket, u say xian or not lor.

Hubby's pp has expired, so both of us are applying for a new one. I'm waiting for a good day to help Rie snap her pp photo. Is not easy taking photos for baby leh..I wonder how...cham.

HR has replied, saying I can only submit my claims after the 13th Nov, that MEANS, I have to postpone my last day again...probably to the 16th of Nov. I can use my leaves to offset, but I dont want to. I wanna encash my leave leh....get $$$$....my boss's gonna kill me for submitting and taking back my resignation letter countless times!

Mid of the week...

Last night when Rie came home, she doesnt seem to want to step in the house. When mum bid her farewell and went to the lift, she made some noise as if she didnt want her to go....Sigh....

Rie wasnt in a very cheerful mood, coz of the pain in her head I think. Mum said she kept sobbing while sleeping. I had to pat her several times before she is in deep sleep. She woke up at 4am for milk and went back to sleep again.

The ba lu gu on her head is REALLY huge leh. And she has yellow patches around her inner eyes area and cheeks. The impact of the fall is really very great and I regret so much. I have a heavier responsibility once I become a SAHM without any help...sigh.....

I'm in between hb and my dad. LIke what hb said, it seems problems always occur between MIL and the DIL, but our case is FIL and S(son)IL. Dad kept in his room today watching telly, so hb didnt get a chance to greet him. Mum didnt have enough time to prepare breakfast for us, so ended up I did it myself. The house seem quiet, no joy. Bet they must have quarrel last night.

Troubled troubled. I wish Nov would come by fast. Is another 1 more month to go for me before I bid farewell to my colleagues. I'm hoping my parents can hang in there for 1 month more and I shall take over from there...
===================================
yeah yeah, my colleague has gotten for me a coach wristlet from US...I'm waiting eagerly to see my item!
===================================
Hubby strike toto yday, small small win $30....but all spent on 4D again...

I wish I can turn back the clock

The most dreadful thing that can ever happen to a parent has happened to me and I never thought it wuold happen to me!

Riesia fell down from our simmon king size bed, hit the baby cot next to it and fell BUMP onto the floor in between. She cried like mad NON_STOP for at least 10-15mins and I was in great shocked and cried together with her, while cuddling her and comforting her and so-so her bump.
I had just showered her and she was on the bed playing and I just turned my back say less than 1 min to get a cream to apply on her thigh and bump. I screamed for hubby and it was the worst worst feeling of my life ever since I became a mum myself.

I didnt know what to do, hubby didnt know what to do and I just kept pacing up and down and I needed someone to comfort me. Hubby didnt help much, he kept asking me to call my parents and I didnt want them to find out. After rie felt more settled, we tried to touch touch her back of the head to see where the pain was. SLIGHT and I meant very slight touch only sent her to tears all over again. She was sobbing badly after she stopped yelling and tears were all over her fragile face. Wah liao, my whole heart sunk okay. Sunk all the way down to the bottom of the ocean. I hated myself at that moment. WHY did I have to turn my back? WHY did I have to take it for gtee?

While I placed her on the bed to change, she let out a small cry. I think she must have hurt her back of the head as well. Cham. how how how..

I am very worried that she might have hurt her arm or sprain her neck or whatever and we both rushed down to KK immediately. We reached there at 930 and waited till close to 11 before it was our turn. There was quite a crowd despite being so late. There was this little boy who scalded his hand and was crying very loudly. Rie, hearing cries, pout her lips and was close to tears AGAIN and I had to carry her away to coax her. The nurse examined her head and slight press and she cried again...I told hubby, perhaps we should get her x-ray to see if everything is alright.

Our bed is of quite a height, higher than normal bed and to imagine, her falling and hitting against the wooden baby cot before falling onto the fall, she hit twice okay. The day before, it was hubby's fault. He left her on the mattress and she turned and bump onto the back of her head and cried as well. But this time it was more serious.

While waiting for our turn, Rie seemed fine and back to her normal self. Just that when I try to massage the bump infront of her head, she pushed my arms away and didnt want me to touch. Hubby messaged bro to inform him we are not going over tomorrow morning as I wanted to take a day leave to monitor her. Just as we stepped into the room for the PD to check on her, dad called. I am very suprised why he would call, because normally they wont call to ask how come we arent going over. Deep in my heart, I was thinking, die lah, sure have to tell them. We tried to hang up the phone 3 times, and dad called hb's phone. Bo bian, hubby answered and told him what happened. Sure gena scolding one. Haiz...

The nice PD, checked on Rie, everything seems fine. Weigh her and she is at 8.1kg as of 7th Oct.
She said it wasnt necessary to do a scan for her, coz she didnt throw up and she seems to be back to her normal self. I was still worried and thought a scan would be better, but then PD said no need, then okay lor.

So we left KK and hubby had to call home and mum questioned lor..haiz...Rie recognizes my mum's voice. She was smiling widely as I placed the handphone next to her ears for mum to speak to her. The funny thing about her is she dont utter a sound when she listens to the handphone. She just keeps smiling. We went to collect some panadols for her and left for home.

Upon reaching home, just as I was about to shower her, the door bell rang. "See, see". I told hubby. It was my parents and bro. They had rushed down to come and see Rie. Rie was in great joy when I opened the door and she saw my parents.

Okay lor, so much for all the cuddling lah, sayang lah, play with her lah, make her laugh etc. Then I prepared her milk, showered her and put her to bed at 1am. She was too tired out by then and slept through till 7am when I bf her and she slept till 11am the next day.

A big big bruise has appeared on her head this morning. Mum said her right feet is swollen and theres a bruise on her left cheek also. I cant tell, but she claims so. So What to do ?

This is definitely one big lesson that I've learnt and will never make it happen again. Trouble starts once your kid crawls. More to come when she starts walking...Sigh.....
Rie weights 8.1kg...
========================================
We went to vivocity to get Rie her swimsuit and on Sunday morning, she seems to know we are bringing her for a swim and she woke up at7am. So we headed out to TPY swimming complex at 830am. Wah, what a crowd in the morning leh, but luckily the toddler pool was rather empty. I thought rie would be afraid, but wah, she warmed up quite quickly and swum about while I carried her. Ahahah, she loved to splash the water too and was very happy to see kids around her playing too....We swum for an hour and she got hungry and started to cry while I had to rush to make milk for her...tsk tsk.

She slept from 1230 to 4pm that afternoon after her lunch. She must be tired out....but it was a great day for us. Hubby made it a point to bring her for a swim every sunday.

========================================
I am having a bad day today...I wish there arent so much problem afterall. Perhaps I should really have left in July and all these problems wouldnt occur. And now, everything seems to be pushed back to me yet again. I hate this type of feelings....

I'm figuring out how to get back my house keys from dad. I had passed it to him during my confinement period and am afraid he may just pop by anytime when I stop work. Just last week, after he bought a mattress for me, he came by and left the mattress in our room and he complained to mum that our hse is in a mess. I dont feel comfortable to have my parents just coming to my house without informing me beforehand. And there are times when I'm also worried that what if I'm sleeping with Rie then he just pop by like that? That's why now, I latch the main door when I'm home alone.

How how how..How to get my keys back? Hubby adviced me strongly not to get it back, otherwise, they sure have things to say yet again. Damn. Regrets.

First week of Oct

On the way to work, I was reading the Sunday's New paper and came across this article on fraud phone calls made from Hongkong cheating singaporeans here by claiming they have won a prize..

This reminded me of 2 phone calls made to my hp last week. The first time I received the oversea number from China, it was a missed call. Then few days later, a private call was made and it was a China lady. She claim she is from some China company doing a handphone survey(As what was stated in the new paper).

She asked me some questions such as what brand of handphone do I think is the most popular in Singapore; What do I look for in a handphone; Do I go to the retail shops or authorised dealers to purchase my handphone; What is the price range that I think is reasonable for a handphone.

She then went on asking for my name and I gave her my English name and she asked for my Chinese name instead. Fine, I gave. Then she asked for my age range and we ended thereafter. She was very polite and nice, I thought it was harmless just answering that few qns.

Then few days passed and I received an oversea call from China +8613592754950. Thinking it was the same missed call, I answered it. (Thought my China friend call me mah).

And it was another China lady, and she specifically asked for me in my Chinese name! Hardly people knows my Chinese name, unless I told them and the only person I've told was that lady who did the survey lor. I asked her what was it regarding and she said 你中将。 I told her flatly I was not interested and she said : "我很好奇潘小姐，为何不给我机会而拒绝？"

Very smart right to say. Then I purposedly spoke in English. "You are calling from China is it? I am not interested."

Then she dont know mumble what, and I just repeated and hang up.

The newspaper article stated that many were cheated of their money in a similar way, informing them that they have won a prize and they are suppose to deposit $ X amount of money with them to secure their prize while waiting for them to fly over to China/Hong Kong. And to think some people really believe it okay. Tsk tsk..

I am curious to hear what that lady wanna tell me, but then oversea call leh, waste my $ and time also mah, so I just hung up.
