Seasame Street

Yesterday hb went back to office to work. was glad that he came home early and we hurriedly rush out to Marina Square for the Seasame Street Live show.We just arrived in time...

Rie totally enjoyed herself. The stage setup is really nice! I like the pretty colours of the stage. Elmo, Ernie, Bernie and cookie monster all looked so cute!!! Rie loved them, but she was a little afraid to stand on her own to watch and I had to carry her throughout, perspiring like hell and my arms aching...sigh..

I was nagging at hb to bring the pram along, but he didnt want and then regretted. What to do? We went back home to get the pram out after the show. Fed up right? Make 2 stupid trips. We went down to Raffles City after that to wait for my gfs for dinner. Went round and round so that rie would take her nap. At least I can rest for awhile and shop. It is really not easy to bring 2 young kids out.

I had no choice, coz dad has clients in town and need to entertain them.Otherwise I would be able to bring reyes along only and he would be much easier to look after. So yesterday was our very first trip out as a family. Im amazed that we can survive man!

Dinner was at sushi tei. The ambience was really nice! I sure hope I can go there for dinner again, at least with hb only, but that will no longer be the case, UNLESS my mum is willing to help me babysit...

I am really happy to meet up with my gfs- Linda, Shirley and KC. It's been a long time since we last had dinner together. I must apologize that I didnt have much attention to chat, not easy with rie around lor. Maybe next time when we meet up yeah? KC, send me the group pix okay so that I can upload it here....

Thanks Shirley and Kani for the ride home. We reached home really dead tired and once home, the battle begins again. On the heater, shower for rie, shower for reyes, took my shower, then pat reyes to bed and then entertain rie. Rie refuse to go to bed till 2am in the morning. (must be the caffeine. damn) I was already half dead and I just slept. Reyes was very tired too! He slept on his own. When I woke up, rie was sleeping at my feet..hee hee...3 of us woke up at 1230pm..yawn.half the day gone.

Barney Live...

For those who are interested, Octo is showing the Barney show at 1pm. Thereafter is the Mr Mens Show.

Barney LIVE show at Plaza Singapura from 9th to 14th Dec, show time is 1, 4, 7pm on weekends...I cant seem to find more information on the website...

Reyes...

Reyes grows real fast! Just after a month and he can lift up his head to look around liao!!! And he now flashes his beautiful smile to me every morning....And despite waking up at 4am to change his diapers and feed him, once he smiles to me, everything is worth it.

I've got perms...

Mama did perms on my hair today....

Oh Gosh! Is this how I look???Actually is buay pai lah, but look abit like xiao char bo.And my Face look so fat!I swear I'm not going to perm my hair anymore...

Disappointing trip...

Took a pix of rie while waiting for dad to come fetch us...I was looking forward to shopping at RObinsons today, because of the 20%....But then, WTH lor, the member sale only starts at 630pm! KNS leh. I had wanted to buy the babysafe pillow for rie liao. Retail at $41.80, less 20% is alot leh. So left disappointed lor.

Bought rie a doctor playset instead. She remembers going to Dr Tan for her chickenpox jab man! We will say Doctor check har, then she will lift up her blouse and then attempt to take in big breath. (ie doctor listening to her lungs).Then she will say " pain pain" and point to her arm!!! Hahaha...

While at Centerpoint, they were having this Mr Men show...This is rie with dad.... The Mr Men show...

Reached home and both took their late nap. I guess tonight I would only be able to head to bed at 12midnight again...

Took pix of rie and rey one afternoon

Rie bf????

One night while bf reyes in the room, riesia suddenly takes her pooh bear, lifts up her blouse and then attempt to place pooh bear on her chest to bf!!!! I couldnt stop laughing...

War at home...

Alas, my 2nd day at home with the kids was chaotic! Perhaps the first day was just a honeymoon period for me, but isnt it just too short???

With 2 kids, I have to be very discipline. Gotta go according to my schedule, otherwise it would just be chaotic. Reyes cried. Rie cried. Both yell for attention. Whom am I gonna attend to? I nearly go crazy.

Then riesia woke up crying from her 1.5 hr nap and refuse to stop despite me trying hard not to lose my temper. Then her diapers leaked and so I undo it. Bad mistake. She continue to pee on the bed! KNS. So mad with her, I started to lose my temper and shouted at her to stop crying.

IT does actually work! She understands when I say to her to " Stop It." Phew. But then I feel so guilty lor. At times she just cry for nothing. But then she pretend to cry one, so will just stop crying when she is tired.

I sure hope to ren till at least hb can come home early. Reyes cried for bath time at 6pm. Auntie normally bath for him ard this time, or before 7pm. He didnt sleep well in the afternoon, was woken up by riesia's shouting and crying. So I quickly showered him and pat him to bed. He slept soundly from 630 to 10pm!!! And that was a good timing for me to quickly cook dinner and feed riesia while catching the Taiwan show at 7pm on Channel U. Do you watch? Is really very nice.

Sidetrack a little. I've never care for a baby boy before and so it was really a big question mark to me how to clean his genital area. For rie, it was easy, coz she's a girl and I'm a girl mah! But for boy??? Hubby was exceptionally concern whenever he sees me cleaning Reyes up. He would go, "careful leh, his balls." Or at times while carrying him, he would tell Reyes that he is worried to squash up his balls. KNS.

Even as I do up the diapers for Reyes, I also would ponder if the front is too tight for him or not. I sure hope he is comfortable. I've gena so many accidents liao, whenever change diapers for Reyes and he just aim and shoot his pee...So I always try to change fast fast and pray that he wouldnt pee...

alright, gotta go wash up for now. I didnt have a good night sleep, woke up at 2 hrly interval for feeding. Woke up at 9am, coz riesia wants to watch her seasame street show. I hope Reyes would nap with her in the afternoon so that I can nap too. Tired..I think in no time, I would lose all my weight looking after 2 kids and having my meals within 10mins only. Sigh...

OH no..

Rie now knows how to ask me to buy toys for her!!!

She saw this little pet puppies on OKTO and then came running to the room saying.."Mama, buy buy."

I said "buy what?" she said " Toys" then ran out to point to the advertisement! Pengz...

Then she came back running with her shoes indicating to me to bring her out to buy the toyz......

Poor Rie...

I feel so bad for rie and yet I cannot do anything for her.

Last night, we brought rie for her chickenpox jab. I kept delaying it, no choice, coz I want to schedule all her jabs on the same date, u see..then last month I was doing confinement, so I cannot bring her for her jab.

It was her first time doing the jab on her arm and this time round, Dr Tan explained that it was different. It had to be under the skin, instead of just poking in. Oh gosh and that it would take few seconds longer...Hb and myself dont even dare to look man! I just grabbed hold of rie tightly and sung "ABC".She yelled lor, cried like hell and didnt even want me to carry her later. She looked for hb to bao bao. But after awhile, she looked for me and I comfort her. She was alright after that, but kept telling me " pain pain" on her arm.

I fed her some paracetamol in case she develops fever. It wasnt an easy night for her. Reyes woke up crying for milk at 415am, rie woke up as well. I couldnt do much, but can only pat pat her to sleep as she kept calling for me. She woke up again at 9am, but fell asleep again till 1030am. Sigh, I wish I have time for her.

I thought of skipping the Hep A jab, but then Dr Tan remembered she had already ordered the vaccine for us! Cham lor, and somemore is a 2 dose leh, within 6 months interval....I spoke to hb, say maybe keep that vaccine for Reyes instead. As rie is getting older and smarter, she knows what is going to see the doctor means and she has already developed a phobia of going to KK...

Last night, so comical. I said to her
"Riesia wait for your turn to see doctor okay? Doctor will check."
And rie replied to me " Didi. Doctor."
Haha...hb and myself then explained to her that it is not didi who will be seeing the doctor.

Cooking up a storm...

We attempted to cook 鱼片汤 yesterday.

I woke up thinking I would have the soup all done nicely, but was so disappointed and angry. Why?

Hubby chose the shortcut. He just dump the ikan bilis into the pot of water with ginger instead of frying it first, which Auntie told us to do. The whole pot of soup taste 90% of ginger, none of it alike to what Auntie cooked. And plus, hb only boiled it for an hour and thinks that it is sufficient.

Either his tastebud has problem, or mine! So after nagging nagging, I decided to do it myself. Hb is very kiam with ingredients. He put so little ikan bilis in, where got taste? So I took out more, fried it till golden brown and dumped into the pot of soup and boiled for another 2 hrs.

added condense milk and voila! Although it didnt really taste as delicious as what Auntie cooked, it was edible to my taste liao lah. But hb was grumbling it was too salty to his liking. Well, that's coz he grew up drinking soup that taste like plain water. ( You know I'm indirectly refering to what...)I didnt even add much salt in at all. Probably is the ikan bilis lah. But it was nice to my liking. I finished up half the pot of soup with noodles..yummy....

Today hb cooked lian ou tang. As expected, plain water lah..so I'm boiling it again. But at least he makes an effort to wake up at 6am to boil soup for us. I sure hope we can continue cooking at home and not order ting kat.

Steamed a fish for lunch today, but I forgot all about it and finished my meal. Today's my first home alone Full day, did I mention? At least is not so bad lah, I hope everyday is like this. My schedule goes like this.

If Reyes is still asleep and rie is up, I would shower for rie first. Then prepare lunch. By then Reyes would be up. Shower for him, bf him and pray hard he would nap again so that i can feed rie her lunch. Finished lunch, spend some time with rie, wash laundry, dry laundry, mop floor, boil water etc etc before reyes is up again. Attempt to juggle myself with 2 kids awake.

Nap time. The good thing is, both of them would nap at almost the same time! So I can have a bit of free time on my own, thats why you are seeing me updating my blog now. muahaha...

Bookfest...

We went to the bookfest yesterday at Suntec City. IT was my 2nd trip down.

I had actually went there on Tuesday, it was so quiet and it was such a leisure to shop...However, yesterday was a totally different scenario.

The whole place was packed with people, I couldnt breathe and was quite pek chek shopping for books, coz every isle u see there are people sitting down. Worst is the children's section. Maids with kids on floor, books thrown everywhere, so inconsiderate lor. I want to find a nice book for riesia also have to dig, coz by then, most of the books already destroyed by kids..

Had wanted to find files for rie and rey, but didnt find any. We were there at the timing when Energy was on stage to promote their album I think. Too bad I'm not crazy over them, but the hurds of girls screaming..aiyo....Took a very blur pix of them, best that I can manage with 1 hand, while guarding Reyes's head with my other hand.

I shopped for 2 hours nia and hb was already complaining away...I was quite disappointed lah, walking away with just a few items...

Bought a barney bag for Rie. (Been looking high and low for one)

Bought the Hortons VCD, few books and 2 sticker books.

I had wanted to bring rie along. It's been a long time since hb, me and rie went out together, but mum said she doesnt really know how to care for rey, so bo bian, I bring rey lor. He was a good b0y, slept throughout during my shopping..hee hee. Now's the best time to go shopping when he can sleep for hours...

Some photos...

All photos taken by Willy...thanks har... Our First Family Photo...

Photo taken with Kaelyn, Kaelyn Mummy, Riesia and me...The dress that Rie is wearing belongs to me! And she looks exactly like me when I was young! I remember wearing that dress, gotta dig out the photo someday and post it up!Kaelyn mei mei and Riesia Jie Jie giving each other a hug and a kiss...They are just 8 months old apart...so cute right..

Look at me...

Haiz....when riesia gets sick of playing with her toys, she decides to play with my pots and pans.

My first day..

Tomorrow will be my first day home alone with 2 kids.

Actually this morning I was already home alone half a day till noon with 2 kids.
I told myself to wake up early at 9am, shower for Reyes at 930 and once done, I can wake riesia up. But then, 3 of us were so tired, we end up waking at 10am..tsk tsk...

The funny thing is, when Reyes is sleeping in his cot, he makes lots of noises. the moment I place him next to me on the same bed, he sleeps so soundly without a noise...

My ex colleague asked me if I find it much easier to cope with Reyes as compared to Riesia. I must agree yes. Perhaps coz I have the experience already, so it is definitely much easier to bath, dress and feed Reyes. I'm more confident in handling his fragile body. That time with Riesia, holy cow. I didnt even dare to use the baby bath tub to bath for her! I placed her in this round small tub and just splash water and I'm done. muahahahahaha...This time I took my time to bath Reyes, wash his hair thoroughly and clean up his oily face. Feel so satisfied when he is all clean and neat. I'm just hoping that he would not poo halfway through his bath time and then I would have difficulties changing the water. (It happened twice, but heng hb was home)

Anyhow, I sure hope I can cope tomorrow. I'm starting to be done with a cold..I sure hope I can be strong and fight against it man. I cant fall sick.

===========================================
We attended Hb's good friend's lunch wedding at the Miramar Hotel today. It was Reyes's first wedding outing. I was praying hard that he would sleep through so that I can eat. I was so hungry leh. Reyes was quite a good boy, except occasionally he would still want to be cradle to sleep. Hence I didnt get to eat much. Half eaten the Ee-fu noodles and the crispy chicken, he wanted to be nursed. So I left to the toilet. When I was back, horror lor, everything was gone..So upset. Ended up going home eating biscuits...

His friend is also expecting, about 3 months I heard. It was our first time meeting her husband. Not a local, surname is "Brown". We didnt get to talk much to find out more either. But he does looks very mature leh, quite tua jiak also..I hope they will be happy together.

What is this...

Kids are kids. They grow up real fast and when is that time where they go round asking " Why", "what is this", "where is it?", I finally understand why some parents just go blank answering them.

Riesia never fails to ask " What is this" almost everything she sees till I really dont know how to answer when I myself dont know what is the thing really known as. Such as the DVD player which has this gadget inside. Being a lazy mummy (sometimes), I just say is a wheel, danger lah, cannot touch etc etc. Haha.

My SIL has to keep answering Riesia too when she brought her to NTUC and riesia points out and ask "What is this". Muahaha...Now we are waiting for her to ask us the big "WHY" to everything we answer.

Reyes First Month

We woke up early at 830am. Hubby went to market to grab some last minute items...
Came home and bath for Reyes in flowers...He enjoyed the flowers and Riesia enjoyed watching too. Hee hee...

Words of Thanks...Thanks for the ang bao, gifts and your time....

Ryan, Cindy & Family

Shirley & Kani

Willy & Summer (Rie loves the pooh alot..thanks!!) * Thanks for helping me shoot pix..*

Will upload more photos when I get the pix from Willy....

Goodbye....

Yesterday marks my 28th day of my confinement and also the day when we bid our confinement lady farewell...so sad...

She took the last chance to carry reyes and hb told her to put reyes on the bed since he was already sleeping. I hinted to hb twice. In fact several times to let Cl carry since she wanted to carry. And true enough, Cl told hb she wanna carry reyes for the last time before she goes off cannot meh. Ahahaha...Hb "complain" to me CL told him off. Or bi lah.

Aunt is very very very nice and very soft hearted. She told us, normally CL would have left in the morning 10am even before cooking lunch. Probably after showering bb and preparing breakfast. But seeing both of us so cham, handling 2 kids, duno how to cook, she decides to stay till after lunch, so that I can enjoy her 鱼片汤 for the last time. She also brewed the ABC soup for us, so that we can have our simple dinner.

I felt she didnt want to leave too. She took her time for lunch, took her time to shower, and even chat with us till 145pm, before showering and then finally leaving at 2pm..Sigh...So sad leh. When I passed her the ang bao, I wanted to tear also.

We took photos before sending her downstairs.

Biding farewell is so difficult. The journey to the main road was a really sad one. We hugged goodbye and I held back my tears. Hb noticed aunt's eyes were red too and she didnt dare look back to say bye to us. She just looked forward, got into the cab and left. Rie cried like xiao, coz she thought aunt was gonna bring her along to shopping!!!

We walked back home. Is back to square one...

Surprisingly, Aunt called that evening to ask how is Reyes coping. Reyes kept fussing in the afternoon and finally had peaceful sleep at 5pm. Peng san leh. I sure hope we will meet again and keep in touch. Is really not easy to get a good confinement lady.

It's time for farewell..

Tomorrow is Reyes' Full month celebration. That's gonna mark my end of confinement as well.

I'm glad I delivered late year. It's been rainy and so cooling and I really didnt perspire much. Thank God for the cooling weather. But that also means I get chill quite easily at night too, especially when I bf outside in the living room.

Just now hb asked me if I would cry when I bid farewell to my CL. I was also thinking about this question few days back in bed. Is really hard to say goodbye, especially after spending 28 days together with her, seeing her 24 hours a day. She's really been a very very great help to me. I am very glad that I made the right choice to get a CL and am thankful to "YOU"(you know who you are) for helping me to get your CL recommend me my CL. (confusing?)

If any of you are looking for a CL, I can recommend mine. She's a really nice lady who loves kids alot and has great patience and has never lost her temper and is always smiley and laughing.

Auntie is VERY VERY concern about our meals once she leaves. She knows I cant cook and that we order tingkat. She is discouraging us, coz the food has lots of MSG. She shared with us how to cook certain simple dishes and I hope we know how to cook man.

I sure hope I can discontinue and hence been trying hard to pick up a few dishes from her like Tofu with minced Pork (my fav), her sliced fish soup(Damn nice!). Once I master the sliced fish soup, I wont have to ask hb to go market to buy anymore. Their soup standard seem to have dropped, very salty and then I get so thirsty one...I'm gonna ask Auntie to cook the last time for me this Sunday for lunch before she goes....

Reyes has been rather cranky recently and wants to be carried to sleep. I think he has developed this bondage with Auntie already and perhaps can sense that it is time for her to leave liao. I do admit I get jealous of not being able to spend much time with Reyes. But I cant help it, I try my best. Is really not easy when 2 kids are vying for your attention and I have to sacrifice one's attention each time.

Come Sunday night, Reyes will be sleeping in the baby cot with us in the master bedroom. I tried letting him sleep with us few days back, but end up I didnt have any peaceful sleep at all! He kept making noises while sleeping and I didnt sleep, coz I kept waking up to see what he was up to and I was also worried riesia would be woken up too. Sigh...How ah? Cham.

Some photos to share

Now that riesia knows how to blow off the candle flame, she goes round to blow them whenever she sees one..tsk tsk...

To the movie...

This morning, the plumber came by to "open ceremony". Hack the toilet bowl. I didnt get to see, coz Riesia and myself both slept in the study room the night before, so that we will not be interrupted. They came early at 9am. But due to the hacking and knocking, rie was up in 30mins later.

I'm so shacked out the night before. Reyes was up for feeding at 1am, 4am. And by the time I can go to bed, rie woke up crying. And 3 times somemore. I had to coax her to bed before I can sleep again..Sigh...Worst was at the 4am feeding, I had to cradle Reyes one arm and pat Riesia with the other. I dont know when I can tahan till...

Anyhow, I promised Riesia to bring her watch the Magdagascar 2 today. So we rushed our lunch, and rushed to TPY. She was so happy to be out. Although it was drizzling, I decided to go ahead. Coz when Cl leaves this Sunday, I will not have the opportunity to head out alone with Rie anymore.

Lucky she was a good girl and didnt give me much trouble. I was so worried she would throw tantrum again. As it was still early, I brought her to the arcade to pass time. Wah, she so happy. She danced infront of the dancing machine and this toy pick up machine which produce this music. I've yet to feel so happy for a long time already. I cant even recall when was the last time both of us went out together. I cant even recall when she was that happy and smiley.

The movie was very nice and entertaining. Very comical as well. And because Riesia watches Magdagascar 1 already, she knows the characters very well. Especially Alex the lion...hee hee..I will now wait for the release of the VCD...

Congrats...

Hey hey polymates, if you are reading my blog, guess what!

JOhn just told me that the Subaru challenge winner is our polymate, George leh...you know that tall tall quite handsome guy play soccer one..

Check this out man.
http://www.mediacorpradio.sg/Subaru2008/

Another good news to share, my neighbour has popped this morning 4am to a baby girl. And well, they arent gonna attend Reyes full month, coz they say cheong.

I'm very upset and frustrated today with hb. Not very convenient to talk abt via blog, but is regarding his career path yet again. I wonder why do we have to go through this every end of the year. Sigh..

Been so frustrated at home with 2 kids as well. CL is leaving this Sunday, I dread to think what's going to happen next for me. Riesia is still not coping well, always trying her luck to get my attention whenever I'm bf Reyes. And she can yell till the whole house wanna collapse. I'm glad Cl is still around, but when she is gone, I have to definitely sacrifice one of them to yell. I just hope I am still in my own sane mind at the end of the day.

What luck...

Our toilet bowl is stucked for weeks liao....Well, whatever happened, I really dont know.


We only discovered few days later that the ambi pur toilet bowl air freshener actually dropped into the bowl! Peng san leh. And so after weeks, we finally got a recommended plumber from the town council.


He came to inspect and tried to use this metal rod to fish out, but cant. And then, he said, we have to knock the whole toilet bowl in order to clear it. Wah kao, that is the last that I wanna hear him say. But really no choice, and the blow? $320 for a new toilet bowl and the hacking.


They cant guarantee that the floor tiles will crack. But we got no choice. Arbo we cannot use the toilet bowl in the master bedroom leh. Haiz...


Then next is our broken mirror lah. I wonder how much is that going to cost us...Sigh...

==================================================
Yesterday was mummy's birthday. Dad gave her a surprise by booking carousel royal plaza on scotts 1 week ago. And then he bought a cake and got the waiters to sing a birthday song for mum. It took her by surprise lor. Hahaha...So funny to see mum's expression.


This restaurant is always fully booked and so dad made to make the reservation 1 week prior. The food was damn good leh. I see the seafood section, Wah liao, I cannot eat lor!!!!! Got lobster okay. I tried calling my CL to ask if I can eat, but then she didnt pick it up. So alas, I give up eating lor. Well, a consolation is that dad said he will bring us to come eat again after my confinement. Muahahahah..


The dessert was very very good! They had my favourite creme brulee which has this top layer of sugar. You should go try it someday.

Coincidentally, 10th of Nov is also my Cl's chinese birthday. So on 9th Nov, Sunday, we brought her along to Yan Palace for dinner. Hubby wanted to take this opportunity to meet up with his ex boss as well. There was a wedding going on, so we were being assigned to one of their private rooms. Wah, shiok lor,whole room all to ourselves, then got TV to watch somemore..

I love their pi pa duck, it was soooooo yummy and the skin is so crispy as well. We made our booking for the buffet dinner for Reyes' full month as well. I sure hope the food will be as nice.

A good deserving break...

Yesterday, since dad came by to pick rie out, I grabbed the chance to head out for a quick facial. Surpringly, hb decides to tag along with me and so both of us headed to Eileen's place for facial. It's been a long long time since I've done my facial. And it really feels damn shiok to be pampered once again. Although it was very rush lah, coz Eileen squeezed in her tight schedule for us.

Then today, we took the chance to watch a movie, The Coffin. Well, bad choice lah. Hb was grumbling all the way and I kept my eyes shut at those scary parts..hahah...abit scary lah...

At least we have CL with us now, I can really leave the house in peace knowing that she will take good care of Reyes. Can see she dotes on Reyes alot lor. THe way she talks to him, very funny too. But we are very glad lah to have her around to help me out. I'm feeling sad that she is leaving next Sunday liao. Gonna miss her cooking....gonna miss her help.

It is really not easy to get a CL whom riesia can get along with, and can play with, and plus my CL help me to pack rie's toys whenever rie throws it all over the house. Some Cl can just pretend not to see and just hide in the room to solely look after baby. But my CL wont. She will sit in the living room with us, chat with us or help me feed, look after riesia.

The good thing is that she used to care for a family's child around riesia's age for 6 months. Knowing that, I am at ease she can help look after riesia when I am engaged with baby or at massage. She even offer to help me shower for riesia and the amazing thing is, riesia does not even cry at all! She wails so loud as if the whole house is going to fall.

I'm feeling so sad....sigh..I will have to deal home alone with 2 kids starting Sunday night....

Finally....the name is...

Okay, it is down in black and white liao.

The name for boy boy is Reyes Tan Song Ye (陈颂烨） {Pronounce as "Ray-Yes"}

The word 烨means :火光，日光，光辉灿烂　(Bright, Glorious, Splendid, Flame)

Actually hor, till the last min when I wrote the name on the form infront of the officer, I still wrote it as Ryes. Then I think think think, ponder, then we decided to have it as Reyes.

Then the officer joked with us. She said if I decides to cancel and change it to Ryes again, I would have to fill up a new form all over again. haha. I asked her how she would pronounce the name Ryes and she pronounced it as 1 syllabus, the same as those I had asked around. But in fact, i want it to be 2 syllabus as in Ry-yes. You know as in Ry-yan or Ry-Yu? Sigh...Maybe next time IF IF IF I do have another boy, I would name him Ryes.

Alrighty then, at least now the name is settled.

I'm so busy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hardly get time to even rest or breathe for a few second.

Let's see how my day goes now.


12midnight : tuck rie to bed. (yes, you read it right, she goes to bed that late)

230 am : I'm up for feeding.

500am : I'm up for feeding AGAIN. If I'm lucky, riesia sleeps through despite reyes crying loudly. If I'm unlucky, she wakes up looking for me as well and then refuse to go to bed.


730am : I'm up for feeding again.
1000-1130am : Rie and me are up from bed.


Accompany reyes for awhile, then shower for riesia and feed her lunch.

3pm : Nap time for rie. I get to nap if reyes is sleeping too.

However, most of the time when I wanna nap, reyes gets up and I cant nap. So end up I didnt have rest at all.

5pm : Rie is up.


Play time till dinner. Wait for hubby come home, shower for rie. By then is already 9 plus. Watch telly and go to bed at 1030pm.


Last feeding for reyes at 1130-1230midnight and it starts all over again.

Updates...

Yesteday we brought boy boy for his review again. I'm so glad that it is finally coming down gradually liao..the result was 201, phew!

Going back for review next Tuesday...

.....

I'm left with another 2 more weeks before I am really home alone with 2 kids....can I handle?


I brought up the subject to hb last night. I think I have to tong alone myself till at least January is here, then we will probably get a helper liao. Unless I can really cope on my own, then the helper subject is out lor. Arbo, I think I really need someone to help me at home, at least keep a lookout for 1 kid, while I attend to the other.


But then hor, hb and myself are really cleanliness freak. For example, although my CL mops the floor daily after cooking lunch and dinner, we still see dusts on the floor. Hb say maid would probably do the same, just pushing the dirt from one end to the other. Hb does a really really good job in moping the floor. Now I truly appreciates his hardwork in mopping the floor and keep it so squeeky clean.


My mum was just complaining to me few weeks back that my bro's maid didnt wash the dishes throughly. There was still some detergent lying under the dishes when she washed them at my mum's place and my mum told her about it. The maid deny that was detergent until my mum mixed with water and showed it to her. My mum brought it up to my bro, but he just shrags and said never mind, just wash again lor. Mum is concern, coz her 3 grandchild often falls sick, due to gastric flu lah, food poisoning lah etc, until the KK dr will ask my bro why they always get this illness. Sigh...This is also one of my worry if I do get a maid. What if she dont do a good job in washing upt he dishes and then my 2 kids fall sick as well?


Argh, very xian one lor...


Riesia is having diarrhoea since 2 days back. And today is my turn..I wonder whats wrong...haiz...


Sidetrack little to update about my confinement yeah.

This confinement is really a breeze...I have someone to cook me a decent meal during lunch, dinner and now having tonic soup alternate days. Then I have someone to serve me, someone to help me look after baby so that I can put my attention on riesia. Hb and myself are really thankful to my CL, coz she has been really nice and chin chai with us.


She is very very health conscious and really looks at keeping up with her looks. She is also very open with me and can chat about women's stuffs. She is a very young mother with 5 kids all grown up liao, so she can relax about now.


She hardly eats alot for her meal, and she hardly perspire! Amazing right? She see me and hb keep perspiring, she finds it so funny. Well, that also is good lah, coz she can sleeps with the fan on lor. For the 1st week, she didnt even switched on the fan! Only from 2nd week onwards, she switched it on, coz boy boy keep perspiring..

Starting from day 13th, CL brew tonic soup for me. She has been brewing the chicken essence and black chicken soup for me to drink. I remembered I have some dom in the store and so I took this opportunity to bring it out for use. My god leh. She merely added 1 tablespoon to the essence and when I drank the first mouth, my head went spinning around. I think I really cant handle alcohol well. tsk tsk...But bo bian, had to just grim and drink it down as quickly as I can.

The other soup which she brew with all the herbs, aiyo, it was so bitter, I had to standby some plums. But I know is for my good lah, so I still drink it down.

Updates....

How fast 2 weeks is gone in just a blink!
Riesia is now a big girl, 20 months old, big jie jie, but still a little girl at heart.

We've been getting along quite well with my CL. Am really glad we have her around. I'm thinking twice if I should get a helper or not. At times, I pretend that CL is not at home even though she is and see how I cope with 2 kids. It is damn horrible lor...

For example yesterday, after bf boy, he was sleepy and so I laid him in the playpen hoping he will fall asleep. Then I showered with riesia. Before I could even turn ont he tap, he was already wailing away. Cl was in the bathing in the common toilet and I had to wrap myself up and rush out to carry him...Sigh...

Riesia ran round the house naked, and I was so worried she would just pee. This is just one example...

At times when I'm bf, riesia starts her nonsense. Asking me to on the telly for her, change the disc for her etc. The funny thing is, she knows how to turn on the telly switch and change the disc from the DVD player and yet she insists that I do for her and this happens only when I'm always occupied with boy. Attention seeking.

I can understand how she feels. For the past 1 year, it is always mummy and riesia home alone. She gets the fullest attention from me and love. But now, I have to care for boy as well. sigh...not easy not easy. Hence I try to make it a point to have some private time with her before bedtime.

Alrighty then, gotta rush off for now...hardly have time for myself, hardly have time to sleep. yawn...
