I'm in the mood for spree again...

Die lor, not working then still want to spend money...

I'm in the mood to purchase things online again, since cannot go out shopping..

Just got myself this white eye liner...

Then just bought from this mummy the Brainy baby Left brain vcd at $8 for Rie.
And another Brainy Baby Shapes & Colours vcd at $5 nia...
Am planning to look around for Your baby can read vcds...

She's needs to be exposed more and I think she is sick of watching Barney over and over again that she can memorize what's gonna happen next. haha.

Taken while bathing today....I can now leave rie in the tub for 15mins and watch my telly till commercial...at least she loves to play with water...See her face, as if angry with me for asking her to stop playing to take picture.

And what she does in her tub? She is so into the little towel that I use to wash her face. She would soak it in water first and hold it up high and watch the water drip down from the towel. She finds this very entertaining and does this for the 15mins...See the water dripping down?

It is really not easy to look after her especially now that she is alittle grown up, can understand what I say and knows what to ask for what she wants.

She will point and point to the object that she wants till you finally at the n th time got it right.

Also I'm grateful that she now sleeps through the night...She normally gets to bed at 1030-11pm till next day around 830-930am. If I'm not tired we will wake up for her seseme street show at 9am. Otherwise, i will just nurse her and then pretend to go sleep. She will turn, whine awhile and then fall asleep herself...

I'm waiting for the day to come where she would just fall asleep herself on her own without me nursing or cradling her.

Updates

This afternoon after dropping by the post office with Rie, I had to walk to a few blocks away to drop a parcel.

on the way, I saw an infant carecenter and the windows were opened, so I brought rie over to take a look. I saw 7 kids age 8 months and above. 5 of them in the high chair, 2 of them at the desk. They were doing art & craft work. The teacher greeted me and so I asked about their rates and such. $750 for full day, if mother is working, I get subsidy of $300, so I pay only $350.

She explained to me the younger kids are at the other room. Rie was very happy to see the little children and kept on smiling and yakking, but I dont know what she is mumbling. I suppose IF she goes to infant care, she may be happy as she has friends and can play with them.

After awhile, I walked over to the other side of the room. I cant see clearly, but there were 2 teachers on the mat, with few babies lying down. I saw 2 babies lying down, they cant seem to learn to turn yet, probably 3-4 months. Then 1 was crying so pitifully and the teacher was patting her butt to make her sleep. Aiyo, my heart always aches when I hear kids cry and no one to coax or sayang them. I can understand 2 teachers can handle how many babies only right? Sigh....

A thought just come across my mind. To be a infant care teacher. Hows that? Since I can handle rie myself , and I know how to change pampers, wash butt, coax them, why not become one right? I wonder what's the criteria....Hubby bugged me to study childcare courses, but then, xian leh to study...he's gonna start his CPA course next month liao. Been pushing him and finally he's taking some action.

Argh, I'm finishing up the whole tub of peanut cookies on my table man. They are so nice and delicious. But har, they bluff people one leh, $4 a tub. You know where you put the cookies nicely in the container, in the center still got space, but they didnt put 1 cookie there u know. So hor, from outside, u see, wah, as if the tub is really filled up, but in face, center is all go-song one...but is nice lor, to my liking...

New photos just taken ...

Photos taken on 29th Jan....rie is coming to 11 months..

I told rie to "sleep" and she place her head onto the sofa to pretend she is sleeping.....Can you pls dont block my view???

Rie likes to put everything into her mouth, just cant stop her from doing it..

Shopping..

Yesterday afternoon, after feeding rie, I went down to the post office before heading to TPY to walk walk...

It was a good and tiring 2 hours outing for both of us. She was quite well behaved. We went to Popular to get a marker and a 1-2-3 book for Rie. She listened attentively when I read to her the words and showed her the pictures. I hope she will continue her liking for books when she grows up.

Then we went to Kiddy Palace to shop around. Spotted the babysafe head pillow and am thinking to buy it, so that mum can stop making pillows for rie lor. But then hor, rie dont sleep in that one position throughout the night leh.

She can turn from her own mattress to papa's mattress where his legs are and sleep there. Without blanket somemore. Cover her and she will kick all away..haiz...so still thinking lor. Not cheap. Robinsons selling 2 for $15, still looking for people to share with me leh, coz I need only 1.

Then we went to collect the cake from Bengawan Salo, bought lunch for mummy and then head home, coz Rie was tired. She fell asleep while walking home and slept a good 2 hours till 530pm...

===========================================

I'm thinking if I should get one of this little pods pouch or not leh..so that I can carry rie around. The sarong sling is abit too long at times, though is still the best for breastfeeding, a pocket for me to put things and is adjustable according to our comfort.

http://www.littlepods.com/collection_navy.html

There's a BP going on and selling at just $35.90. Another lady is selling 2nd hand at $25. Still waiting for her reply....

Mummy's half day off...

Mummy had half day off last Friday. Managed to persuade mum to help me look after rie for half a day so that I can get my hair treatment & cut done.

I had also managed to squeeze in to trim my eyebrows thereafter and a facial to end off the day. Wah, never felt so relaxed and enjoying tai tai hood since I stopped working.

It was shiok to shop around at Bugis and Plaza Singapura while waiting for my appointment. So leisurely....this is what I can tai tai hood man.

So anyhow, I felt more recharged and refreshed. But I've gotta return to reality....
==========================================
Sat & Sun was spring cleaning day. Sat I had to clear my cupboard full of rubbish. There was a trail of ants crawling from the kitchen to my cupboard and I didnt know what were they hiding in there for till I cleared it.

It was disgusting and horrible and even as I typed now and recall the ants nest that was in my book binder cover, yuck!!! Gross okay. I had to summon up so much courage to carry that thing out of the house into the dustbin. Yuck yuck yuck...

So once that was out, I cleared the other shelves. I had to throw many unused cosmetics that were in my cupboard for years! I didnt even know I had them. Oh boy I sure know how to keep things. Threw many boxes away as well, silver fish were found in them. Then i chanced upon photos with my ex-s...I was worried hubby would just step in and see them, so I quickly torn them and chuck them out. Didnt exactly threw all away. I kept photos of my 1st one...

Okay, once thats done and my rabbits cage is washed up, we headed to mum's place to pick rie up to chinatown. It was the 2nd last weekend before chinese new year is here, so we had better get going...Rie was very excited when we stepped out of the MRT and she saw many red lanterns hanging up as decorations. The place was packed!!! And hot too, lucky for the light breeze. We walked from one end to the other and then cut through from the other end to the other street. Managed to get 2 bottles of kueh bangkit (our fav), 1 bottle of peanut cakes and the taiwan mua-chee. Wah, that mua chee har, costs us $36 okay! We picked and choose till 2kg meh? Terrible..We got a shock when the guy told us how much it was.

I also cant believe it myself...hee hee, but never mind lah, once a year nia...

Sadly rie felt asleep half way before I can show her the mickey mouse light up leh. She was too tired....
=========================================
Sunday, hubby engaged a Indian lady to come our house to help us clean up. Wah, now my house is spick and span leh, so clean and fresh...hee hee...

Pineapple tarts..

Chinese new year is just around the corner and during this time, I 'm always craving for pineapple tarts and kueh bangkit.

Since mum's not baking any tarts this year, sigh, I bought 1 tub Chewly Butter Pineapple cake from NTUC at $7.80. It looked so nice, but then the pineapple filling were quite sour to my liking...

Is hard to get delicious pineapple tarts nowadays....

More updates

Everyday when rie is up from her nap and I'm in the study room, she will crawl out from the bedroom to look for me. Then she will go under the table and to the printer area. I dont know what she found so interesting behind, but she always like to meddle with plugs and wires...I bought this fisher price muscial chair toy at my old workplace when mattel was having great sale. It was a steal for this chair. I think it costs me $25 only. You cant get this price outside...
Finally after a year long in the storeroom, rie can make full use of it...She has master the skill to climb up the chair and at times just stand without any support and then she will grin at me as if she can stand up herself.

I can never get a clear shot of her in action. Is either my skills are lousy or my camera is lousy.

Hubby got her another fisher price toy that has 12 different type of shapes. She only knows the star and circle shape. Still teaching her on triangle and rectangle...

Updates

I bought a Hello Kitty clock on the way home from market. I have been bioing the clock for quite sometime and finally took up the courage to ask hubby about it. I was surprised that he is willing to let me buy leh. so happy lor..

The last one I had gone liao and I dont know where is it also..I bought it from China 10 years back. It plays this very cute music when the alarm rings...

I like this new angel one I've got. The guy isnt honest. I should have cut him. He quoted $25 and then hubby ask best price, he said $23. I checked and noticed there is a scratch mark. I am very particular about it and he said $22. Then I okay lah. then he took out the box, the price tag was $23.90. I asked him. He then came up with an excuse oh, this isnt the original box, there is another smaller size hello kitty and he just use this box to pack nia, blah blah. U know what i mean? The tail is out so clear and yet I didnt probe further.

I had initially told him $20 one, then he say his cost price is only $18 lah, blah blah. Hubby is chin chai, coz he say outside sure sell about $30 plus or so, so this is considered very cheap liao at $22. Liar one lah. If the actual price is $23.90 and he sold me at $22, I'm the stupid one mah, coz only discount $1.90 nia. But nvm lah, I really like it..

When the alarm lights up, the wings and the little heart would light up too u know...I would snap another pix when the alarm is on..Rie's sleeping now...

if it's yours, it's yours...

Oh well..I guess lady luck isnt shining on us yet...

Rie's IC number opened again yesterday. The last time it opened first prize was in Aug last year and hubby didnt buy.

And then, this time round, is my fault, coz I thought it wouldnt open so fast mah, who knows when I looked at the number yesterday on my stupid hp, wah liao..first starter number...haiz....

Rie's bday is just around the corner, why I didnt think of buying it. I kept buying her passport number. If only ICA didnt change our passport number to be different as our IC number, i wouldnt have so many numbers to buy. Damn.

Ice cream yummy

Look at Riesia having ice cream...

The strike is finally over...

I declare the strike is over and gone with...

Finally, it has ended. I'm so happy and glad to have rie back. welcome back, my darling baby.

Some updates that I've forgotten..

Last week, one of the weekday, as usual 6pm, I would prepare rie's dinner while she's in the playpen. Then I heard a buzzing sound. I suspect there was an insect somewhere, but just didnt know where. I used the bamboo stick to hit the clothings to lurk it out, but nothing came out. So I carried on doing what I was doing. Then the buzzing sound was louder and I saw it.

This fat big huge fly, which normally appears on rainy days. It was a terribly huge and disgusting one and it shutters me when i think about it now even. It flew around the light and I grabbed Rie and panic. I didnt know what to do! i called hb's hp but he never answers his hp in the office as he would put to silent mode. Stupid right? What if emergency how>

It did come across my mind to ask the uncle neighbour for help, but then I didnt want to trouble him. What's next? I called mum and hinted to ask dad come over...well, dad came to my rescue of course..hee hee...all the while while waiting for dad to come over, I carried rie and showed her the disgusting fly which was lingering at my tee shirt!!! Yuck! Each time it flew around, I ran for my life. Then I got tired and decided to hide in the master bedroom while waiting for dad.

Dad came, caught it and the end. Sigh...what am I to do next time man....
=====================================
Rie knows how to "yang" as in short form for sayang me leh..I'm so proud and happy....especially since I've been taking care of her for the past 2 months. When I say yang mama, she would place her head on my shoulder for few seconds....I tried to ask her to yang papa, but she would shy away. She would also grin shyly one leh..so funny. Now when strangers try to talk to her, she would feel shy liao...hee hee.

She knows what is the meaning of sleep too. When I ask her to sleep, she would also place her head on my shoulder and pretend to close her eyes. haha. at least she is responsive leh and I can play with her.

I cant wait for her to start walking...maybe that's when the little terror comes....

Day 5...has the battle been won?

Today is Day 5 reporting...things are getting better between us.

Yesterday afternoon at 5pm, rie finally latched on without any struggle for her afternoon nap. Yes, very late afternoon nap, coz she woke up at 130pm.

I was so happy to have her back and msged hb about it. I thought half the battle won. So that night, as usual, I fed her dinner and waited for her to be sleepy at 1230am. Tried latching on before that and she refuse. But when she got tired, she just latched on! SO has she declare her strike is over and gone forever? I dont know..

Day 5.
This morning, I craddled her for her morning feed. No problem. Then just now for her afternoon nap, also no problem. It seems like only when she got sleep then she would latch on. Otherwise, she wont...Hmmm..will keep track....and update

Day 4..why.

This morning at 8am, I woke up to prepare milk for Rie. I tried to tease her with my boobs, but not successful. Hence, I lifted her up to bottle feed her. Then I thought, why not just give it another try? I did and she latched on!!! I was so happy! But she was half asleep and hence I think she didnt know. But who cares!

It was just about 5 mins when she opened her eyes and started to be awake and then pulled off from me. Sad. I tried again, and she pushed me away and didnt want anymore. I tried the bottle, same reaction. So I brought her out to the living room to watch Play with me Seseame. She loves watching puppet shows and always love to see me holding up teddy or little elmo talking to her and clapping their hands.

I had to pump and until 10am, she started to fuss and was prepared to head back to sleep again. She finished up the whole bottle and was back to her dreamland. Once again, I tried to latch her and bingo, it worked again....she latched on till she was totally asleep and I lay her down to bed.

It is really a nursing strike? It must have been me, Why did I yell? I yell coz I wanted hb to see how serious it was when he rough play with me and how I would sprain my thumb and it still hurts now. He's also part to blame. Day 4...how long will this strike last? Or will it be forever....

I'm not prepared to wean rie off yet. it's just the beginning of our relationship for me to care for her and be there. I wish she can welcome me back...

Upset Jo...

I'm so upset since Sat night. Rie rejects my breasts and I dont know why. It is like all of a sudden issue...

I recall back on Sat morning, I did nurse her when she woke up and then fed her porridge before we head out to City Hall around 4pm. I wanted to nurse her to sleep( I should!), but ended up feeding her Heinz Chicken Noodles, water and then craddle her to sleep at 7pm.

She slept till 930pm and we headed home around 10pm. Showered for her at 1030pm then I latch her awhile. She was fine. Then we sat down and watched telly. Halfway through, in a rough play with hb, I sprained my thumb and yell really loud coz it was so painful. Rie just sat down with hb and looked at me...I just kept crying..

Okay, anyhow, after that, we went to bed after the show at around 1am and I tried to nurse Rie to sleep which I do every night. She refuses to latch and kept crying and yelling. I didnt know what to do. So I gave her the water and she drank alittle and then I craddle her to sleep. She slept! I thought she was full, so fine, I slept too. We slept till next day 1030am (GOSH), and I had engorged breasts leaking..and I tried to latch Rie again, she didnt want...This is so frustrating I thought and I have to pump. Havent pump since I stopped working...

Then we went to MIL house, rie wanted to sleep and yet she refuse to latch, then had to feed water and then craddle her to sleep again. I was so worried she wont sleep. She very pattern one, she will only allow u to craddle her to sleep when she is damn exhausted. Arbo, she will move here move there, refuse to sleep one...

Rie's gonna be up anytime soon, shall continue later..

=============================================

Snapped some photos last week...Rie likes to play in her baby cot. She would pretend to hide behind the wooden bars and play peek a boo with me...She has learnt another trick or two...

She knows what is tongue and would stick out her tongue when I ask her " Show me your tongue".

She has also learnt to action how birds fly by "flapping" her arms. (only one arm would be flapping. Still trying to teach her both arms..)

And when you ask her " Who is Riesia", she will pat pat her chest to show that she is riesia...I'm so happy she is a fast learner. I taught her this for 3 days...

She seems to be an animal lover. She knows what is a cat, dog, bird, pigeon, pig, cow, snake, owl, ducky, chicken, rabbit, cow.

Mummy gotta keep up in teaching her more stuffs....

Updates...

Been awhile since I last updated...

Last night, hubby managed to sneak off at 530 from work (coz boss not around) and he suggested to head for buffet. The last time we had buffet was before new year after my parents came back from their Genting trip. It was hilarious when mum shared with us about dad's happening.

anyway, we headed to Grand Copthorne for their International buffet. DBS was having a promotion 1 for 1 at $44+++ per head. It came up to about $25 per person only and it was really worth it. I targetted the salmon of course and the mee rubus seedap. The chef suggested to us to add the potato croque into the sauce and it was really nice and yummy. He was very friendly and even strike a converstaion with mum. We got to know he's only age 43 and his 2 kids are already out in the work office with DBS and OCBC banks. And his grand mother is still around, 80+ and his mum is 60+ only. How envy right?He looked like he's in his 30s only and hb and dad were so shocked to learn that he has 2 grown up kids liao.

We also spoke to this Chinese waiter from China. He's working part time to support himself. Looks not bad He spoke very fluent English and I'm impressed. He said he's studying ACCA at FTC and works as a waiter for 5 days after school. Often knock off at 1130 or even 2am in the morning. He leaves the impression to me that he is very very hardworking and willing to 吃苦. It's not easy to find such a guy in Singapore liao leh. He reminded me of my Shanghai long long friend, Xu Hua. He has gotten himself a pretty wife and is expecting a baby girl this year soon. I sure do hope we can meet up one day again. He is a very very good and honest guy. I'm happy for him. Perhaps I should send a parcel to him for his baby girl...hmmmm...

============================================
Been feeling so guilty...Rie had minor accidents and it hurts me to see her in tears each time...The day before she had her heels kiap at the walker behind and yell away. By the time I rescue her, a little bit of her delicate skin was hurt... Bleed lor, it was very painful for her, coz when I applied the yellow solution, she started crying again. So I put a plaster for her. Now those tiny plasters do come in handy.

Then yesterday, haiz, this one my fault lah. After her bath, I always have to coax her to stay still lying down so that I can wear her diapers. She held onto this small bottle and started to put into her mouth and then when she pulled out, the lid cut her upper part inside. She didnt cry immediately, about 3 seconds later, wah, tears flow like mad and I can see it was bleeding quite badly inside...Cham lor....Wah liao, I dont know what to do leh, she just wouldnt open up her mouth for me to see. So I applied some sugar to calm her down. It worked for awhile. Then when I carried her back to the bedroom, she cried again, so out of the room I went.

Is not easy leh to be a SAHM. I have to go and start reading up on what to do in the event your child.....I keep having nightmares of say the chopper in the kitchen just fall from the table top and hurt her, or she gets scalded by hot water in the kitchen etc. So Kitchen = OUT OF BOUND for her.

I had pleasant dreams too. Once I dreamt Rie had a VERY huge tooth growing out and we didnt know until one day. We got so excited and even snapped a photo of it. The other time, I dreamt I held her little right hand and she started to walk with me. It was so sweet. I wonder when will the time come.

She can be very comical and tries to be funny. She has learnt another new term - 据手(not sure if this is correct) but it means to lift up your hand and she will lift up her right hand up in the air. Very funny one. hahahah...We use this term when i need to get her to lift her hand so that I can undress her tee. At times, we purposedly say 据手, then she will lift her right hand. Trial and error one, coz sometimes she just bo chap you.

And she has learnt how to hide things up! I dont know why and how she knows. In between our bed and curtain, there is a tiny gap. But this gap isnt very obvious but somehow she knows there is a gap. Darn. So she would crawl and grab a flashcard, a book and even her pillow...crawl over me and then put her hand in the gap and let go! And she does this with a very very cheeky smile as if she has accomplished something big. Wah piangz. This can go on and on and on. And yesterday, I found the flashcard Number 2 underneath together with her pillow. You see lah. Haiz..I didnt even know it was there, until I went to look.

It reminds me of my gf's son, who used to hide things at one period of time too. He even hid it in the toilet bowl, so funny. I managed to search for the post...Look under " Mischievous Boy! "
Check it out here... (Jan, hope you dont mind...)

Riesia is getting sick of her porridge, so if there are any kind mummies who can share with me what to cook for a 10 month old, pls let me know yeah...

Riesia is up from her beauty sleep, gotta go now...

can you smell the weekend?

Oh boy, i'm glad the weekend is here. Hey, I'm a SAHM, but that doesnt mean I dont look forward to weekends yeah.

This evening had a shock. Left Rie alone in the living room while I cook up her porridge and then horror horror, I saw her producing the vomit sound "Orh" and I looked at her and saw her chewing something in her mouth! Wah liao, faster insert my fingers in and try to see what's in there and I pulled out chewed up bits of paper!!! And there were more in the other corner of her mouth! She was yelling and crying with tears, but I have no choice.

Notti. Then there lies the right hand corner half eaten envelope on the floor. No more papers at the tv cabinet anymore!

Her fingers are starting to get itchy and she has learnt how to press the buttons on the VCD. She feel so proud when she can pause her barney vcd and gets it going again. Darn.

======================================
Did I ever mention we have a TCS actor living at our block? Though he's not a famous one, but then you know actor leh...He often act as the principal, or as the goody fatherly type. He's bald, but then here, he wears a wig one. Funny right? I was telling hb, bald bald lah, why must wear wig.

Last time when I was still working, we always bump into him in the lift when we rush down to take the taxi. He would wear a cap, and hold the lift for us. So he sort of recognize us liao lor. So that tuesday, when we met him carrying his doggy with his wife, he exclaimed :
"长大liao hor." As in Rie has grown up already.

Yeah lor, coz every morning he would see me craddling Rie sleeping like a log. So this is the first time he saw her bright up awake. Hee Hee...so, at least we got to know an actor right?

I asked Rie to pick 7 numbers for me today to buy toto...let's see if I will be lucky lucky...

Sigh...

Bro's maid told mum that she is going back to Indo this coming June. She very tired to help look after the 3 kids for bro liao. And now the youngest girl is coming to 2 year old so she can be easily taken care of. I'm not sure if SIL knows about this though.

But the funny thing is, she asked mum if we needed help to look after Rie and she dont mind helping us look after leh. Hb was of course very happy lah! He kept bringing the subject up to take over the maid when her contract ends as he sees the way she look after my youngest niece very well.

So i told him, no matter what, I will look after rie for this whole year. If he wants to take over her, can, Jan 2009 lor. Let her go back for 6 mths, enjoy time with her family, then come back later. But then hor, that means I will have a stranger in my small flat leh. Already no place. Then where is she going to sleep? We are now occupying 2 bedrooms...

Wait till then say lah...I was also thinking, duno is it true of what the maid told mum, or mum just you know add sugar and spice to the story hoping we will take over the maid so that I can go back to work..sigh....

Updates....

Some photos taken by my uncle on the way to my cousin's uni in France...it's snowing over that side and it is so beautiful!!!!! I'm hoping to head there in June, but then, hb's not very keen as is difficult to bring Rie along.

But I kept telling him, so many of my gfs brought their bbs along for long hour flight and they survived right? Sigh....he very typical conservative man one...

My poly friend has sent me the soft copy of the group photo taken. Rem I attended her wedding in Nov? Here it is...

Happy new year...

Today is the 2nd day of Jan 2008. So fast right?



On 31st Dec, we spent the night countdown at mum's place and Rie got to watch her very first fireworks. She was just as excited as us and when we went Wah wah, she went hysterical and kept turning around to see what happened.



I'm happy that she enjoyed the fireworks display. It was a little disappointing as it was very low and we couldnt see those lower shots. Hb said he would bring her to see the fireworks display during Chinese New year.



Mum bought a blueberry cake for Rie to celebrate the new year and her 10th month birthday. We sang happy birthday to her. She was a little afraid to touch the cake at first, but once she got the hang of it, wah liao, cream all over. Haha. She still hasnt master how to blow the candle...Gotta let her practice so that she can blow off her 1st year birthday candle.
