Hospitalised from 8-13 Oct

The day has arrived... though i took half day off but i only left office at 3pm =(
Lucky dad did the admission on his own & he was resting when i went to his ward. Suddenly the doc who did the lapiscope for my dad came & said he has something to tell us. My heart sunk when he told me that the results of the test showed that my dad was diagnosed with Cancer. Instead of removing part of the intestine, now they need to remove the whole thing by doing key hole plus a bikini line to take out the intestine. He said i need to make the decision right away & need my dad to sign a consent form as they worried the cells may spread. No one was with me & i'm really in a lost.. Called daddy jen & he really wake me up by knocking my head hard. Lucky my bro just knocked off & i asked him to come asap. Doc say this will be a major op & it'll takes about 4-5hrs.

Can tell dad was very upset though he said doc always exaggerate but it's nothing but the truth so we just got to accept it. We can only explained & assured him that all will be well.

9/10/09
Brought mum for breakfast b4 settling off to hospital. Can tell she didn't sleep well as her eyes was swollen & she just drank a cup of coffee saying no appetite...
Accompany dad to the operating theatre & told him we'll be waiting for him outside.
I breakdown immediately once dad was wheeled into the OT. Both me & mum cried together.. I've been enduring till i can't take it anymore, i feel much better after that. My dad has always in a pink of health & he seldom fall sick though he has high blood pressure & irregular heart beat. Why must such thing happen to him???
Waiting time is a torture... as time pass, we keep looing out of the ward & expected my dad to be wheeled back anytime soon.. but things dun turn well. He was sent to ICU straight as his heart beat slowed down during the operation. So they need to monitor him for the night. Lousy me, cried again when i saw him with so many tubes..
Didn't managed to see the doctors but the nurses ensure me that they will monitor & give me a call once my dad can transferred back to normal ward.

10/10/09
Called the nurse early morning & was told dad will returned to normal ward shortly. Feel relieved... Dad was not allowed to go down the bed & he need to inject morphine whenever he feel pain. He was simply too stubborn & dun wish to trouble the nurses. Even the nurses there told him off but he still can go down the bed & went toilet on his own.

Picnic at Labrador Park

It was a super hot & sunny sunday. We bought coupons from Comchest for their family day charity & organised the picnic together with my colleague & family. All of us have great fun & the kids enjoy running around the park. In the end, all 3 of us turn into red hot lobster at night as we kena sunburn!

My action packed boy!

OMG.. My precious baobei turns 2 today. Brought him to the Zoo, Sentosa Underwater world & got him a mini cake as he keep asking me to buy as he want to eat & loves to blow candles.


Daddy & mummy would like to wish baobei a very Happy Birthday. It has been a wonderful journey & we really glad to have you as our child.

By doing that, we feel that you are a very sensible boy though at times you really drive us to the wall.. May you be blessed with good health & happy always. We loves you & you will always be our precious baobei.

Jerald's 2nd Birthday Party

Time flies.. Jerald has grow up from a chubby new born baby to a super active toddler. We had a mini bday celebration for Jerald at home. Just invited some frds & family members.

Super busy day on 22.08.09

Early morning brought Jerald to Peek-a-boo at Kallang to meet up with some Sept'07 mummies & families to celebrate our children 2nd Bday in advance & also catch up with one another.


Ayden's bday party. His bday cake is so beautiful...

How i Wish...

All along i've always wish to have a bb gal as my 1st child & everyone guess it's a gal but... gynae cfm it's a boy when he was only 3mths old inside my tummy =) Anyway boy or gal is the same so long as they are healthy & happy can liao..

His eye lashes are so long compared to mine lei..

Do we look alike??

Lunch with Ex colleagues

We had a wonderful lunch with my ex colleagues at Cafe Cartel in Sengkang. Miss the days where we talk everything & anything in office. Wasted one by one left the company as the boss don't appreciate everybody's hard work. Though we still keep in touch but it's never the same anymore.. Miss all the gals...

Father & son

Isn't it cute to capture a pic of both Daddy Jen & Jerald posing the same smile...

Renfred's birthday

Today we went to cousin's place & barbecue at his place downstairs. Lucky the rain stopped not long after we reached. It's supposed to be a gathering with some relatives & also to celebrate Father's Day in advance but it turns out to be another surprise. We were invited to their house after the packing & all of a sudden, cousin's wife May brought out a cake & we got a shocked when we saw the name "Renfred" on it. So it's their son birthday.. See how jerald pose infront of the camera again haha...


The boy in yellow is Renfred but hor Jerald seems more happy than anyone.

Pizza Hut

Happy Jerald pose for the camera while waiting for the food to arrive.



He really laugh out loud, lucky no one chase us out hee...

Jerald imitate his daddy to try to open the 'capsule" in the end knock his mouth ouch!! His action is funny..

Signature Smile

My baobei "new" style. Few months back he used to tilt his head all of a sudden, knock his head no matter right or wrong & now he will give u this "kind" of look when u say smile..

See how he turn the wheel. My future car racer??? LOL!

Wake up early in the morning feeling hungry & slight giddy as i can't sleep last night & also starts to fast since 10pm. I'm gg for my xray & IVU scan today, hated the procedure. Dropped jerald at my parents house & reached Gleneagles hospital b4 9am. Though appointment time was 9am but i was told to wait till 9.40am then it's my turn. Worst is they told me the xray will takes abt 30-40mins but it was nearly 12noon when i came out. Feel bad for making Daddy Jen wait, if i know i shld ask him to go for his coffee & breakfast. Even my doc also called them to check why i take so long. As my doc's clinic closed at 1pm, we told them to rush the report asap so tat i can visit my doc straight away.

Managed to reach doc's clinic b4 1pm & he is proud to announce tat my wound is healing well internally. I'm so happy tat he gave me green light to carry jerald after so many mths. I'm also allowed to do some light exercises as well yipee!!! Next step, will arrange for a day to do endoscopy to remove the J. Stent inside my body. After tat will need to go thru xray & tests again, once everything clear i'll live like a normal person liao. Praying hard & crossing fingers, hopefully no more complications.

Today brought jerald to CCK family clinic for his booster & also last jab in 6-in-1. Posing & waiting for his turn to be poke by doc hee..


Drop by cousin's place at Senjar rd & jerald have fun playing in their "little farm" & also wan to "kok" his head with 1 of their pet rabbit.

20mths old

Today's Vesak day & so coincidence jerald turns 20 months old today as well, so brought jerald to colleague's temple to pray & get blessing from their shifu. Followed by a gathering with neighbourhood mummies & kiddos for a swim date at Esther's place. This's the 2nd time i brought jerald for a swim haha.. must be a shock to many ppl. Daddy Jen scared those public pool not so clean so have been hesitating whether to bring or not. But after seeing how jerald enjoy himself. We promise to bring him swimming more often, provided Daddy Jen accompany jerald *wink*



Jerald caught us with surprise & am glad tat he knows how to do it on his own without us teaching him.

Jerald say "Hi"

It has been more than 2 weeks liao & finally we managed to wean jerald off his pacifier & he managed to sleep on his own without it. Though he tends to ask us on & off but once we told him we had throw it away, he'll just play with his toys & forget about it. But another habit has started... my dad tends to carry & pat him to sleep which i dun allowed. Jerald also tends to wake up & cry for no reason, maybe he really feels insecure & wan to see if we'll give in to his pacifier if he cry. Told my dad off but elderly won't listen so we've no choice since we need to work & can't supervise him ourselves. So we do our ways when we got home & tried not to give in no matter how he cried till he vomit. Just got to endure endure..

Slowly I've become his new found "koala bear" he'll cling on to me & ask me to "bao bao" him whenever he wan to sleep. Once he's sounds asleep then i'll transfer him to his bed. It's damn tiring but it's better than waking up to search for his pacifier every middle of the night whenever he cried. Glad tat everything is over...

Buay si tiam boy


Laughing non stop...


Jerald's pet dog LOL!

I wonder how my friends teach their kids to brush their teeth everyday. Jerald only play with the toothbrush for a while & pass it back to me. He dun seems keen but super excited when he see us brushing our teeth.

Lots of patterns

Jerald simply loves to play & he never fail to surprise us with his cheeky look & smiley face.

Playing with mummy's shower cap.

Happy jerald smile till the eyes become one line.. LOL!

Notti jerald telling us to keep quiet "shhhhh"

Wo Shi Baobei

Sayonara to Pacifier

All along i dun encourage pacifier though it really calm & soothe jerald whenever he wants to sleep. It becomes worse when he seems so attached to it even though it is not bedtime at all. He'll help himself to it & pass us the cover whenever he reach home. My parents also find it weird as he seems addicted to it. Well... it' really time to wean him off. Told my mum tat i'll try to do it during 1 of the weekends & she must coordinate with me & we must not give in no matter wat. All of a sudden, my mum called me today & say dun give jerld pacifier anymore & start from today. Alamak of so many days why must it be a Monday??? Jialat i guess i'll be more "or ba ka" liao. Heard some say if good luck will only takes 2-3days if not will be weeks or even months. Wish me luck!!! Hopefully my parents or Daddy Jen won't give in to his demand.

See how jerald rest & relax in a comfy sofa at Toy R Us at Vivo.

It's always sweet & happy to see his sunshine smile early morning.

Simply love his toes..

Jerald say sorry.. after playing with the powder.

Drinking his favourite "ah kult" instead of yakult hee...

19 Months old

Time really flies... how i wish Jerald's still a little baby to me. Let us carry, hold & cuddle him tight without any struggling & protesting. Nowadays he tends to puke or spit out his porridge, guess he's sick of it liao so my mum give him rice with soup most of the time but seems like he's more interested in taking fruits. Past few days his appetite drop a lot partly bcos he's not well and i think he's teething at the same time haiz... All of a sudden, he pulled my fingers & start to bite it hard ouch!!! Very pain lei... He can even smile & chuckle out loud thought i'm playing with him.

Last night while we were rolling on the bed, i happened to see lots of mucus flowing out after Daddy Jen gave him some nose drop. Tried to use tissue but in vain so quickly use my mouth to suck it out (I know it's gross but it really works & also traditional way to do it) & indeed it's better than those nose pump. After that use tissue to clean it up but my poor boy struggle & cried big time. As if i'm torturing him & Daddy Jen thought wat happen as he was watching tv in the living hall. After the hard time, jerald finally doze off to his la la land..

Took this pic when we are on the way to work.

Really down...

Last night was pretty bad as Jerald cough on & off thru out the night while sleeping in between us. We can see that he's feeling very restless as his nose is partially blocked & the phlegm seems getting worse & stuck in between. Poor boy... I didn't managed to sleep the whole night at all. Feel like a zombie when I reached office at 8am though I only start work at 9am. Decided to bring Jerald to try out the PD at Tiong Bahru Plaza instead of going to Thomson Medical Centre. Called the clinic to make appointment but they say only first come first serve and no afternoon clinic. No choice I applied for half day childcare leave even though I only left office at 10.30am but need to return by 2pm arghhhhh... PD say Jerald has viral infection no antibiotics needed only flu, cough syrup and nose drop for him. He weighs 11.9kg & height is 83cm. Hope my baobei get well soon...

Bad weather

Jerald started to have some dry cough & rubbed his nose pretty hard since last night. Decided to bring him to see TCM at Tiong Bahru Plaza early morning b4 he catch any virus around. Doctor say he has a mild flu but will be ok after a week dosage of medicine. Feeding him medicine is a chore nowadays as Jerald tends to walk or run away by saying "wo bu yao" He knows it's medicine time whenever he see a syringe or a spoon with a cup. I see other ppl has no problems with their kids but somehow Jerald simply hates it. No choice I will pin him down while Daddy Jen slowly feed him but end of the session either one of us will be wet with all the struggling & you will see lots of tissues on the floor.

New York New York

Today is a sunny day so decided to bring Jerald to Jurong Point 2 for shopping & managed to ask Priscilia & family to join us for lunch at New York New York. We are the first to arrive and 1st customer also since it's only 11.30am hee..
Daddy Jen ordered their "must order" fish & Chips but we find it so so only..

I order their sauteed mushroon spagetti with roasted chicken so I can share it with Jerald but find their sauce a bit saltish.

Overall though the food so so only but we still enjoy the chatting & catching up with our kids around.

Samuel & Jerald

Garfield Vs Jerald

Everyone say Jerald has big eyes but i doubt so when we compared him with Garfield haha... Nowadays we will spoil Jerald by letting him ride a tram whenever we saw it at any shopping centre. Good thing is he don't pester or ask to ride on it whenever he saw one. Only when we ask him then he will nod his head.

Kiss

Jerald always drive us crazy whenever he mess all our stuff no matter how many No... we say to him. So now I started to use the soft way instead of saying No! I tried to be as gentle as a sheep when I ask him to do things or forbid him from messing things. Sometimes it works & sometimes it don't but it's better than me shouting like a mad woman every weekends. So I tried to calm myself whenever I open my mouth b4 I start shooting like a machine gun.
Sometimes I do get a reward whenever he's happy and he will show me his kissing mouth and give me a muack on my cheek hee..

Elmo

Early morning got a craving to eat tim sum so Daddy Jen brought us to Parkway Parade. There is a yummy tim sum stall at the hawker centre near Mcdonald. But it started to rain when we are about to reach so Daddy Jen say let's eat at the food court instead. After our breakfast, we shop around and saw a stall with lot of balloons with few kids crowding around. So I kpo when to take a look then a guy came to us & ask if Jerald would like to have a balloon & passed him a Elmo. Jerald's eyes brighten up & immediately nod his head. Sotong me quickly ask Jerald to say "thank you" but the guy say this costs $8 faintz... So bo bian I can't say I don't want so ask Daddy Jen to pay for it generously :p This's the MOST expensive balloon which I've ever bought.
A pic of Jerald with his Elmo balloon

See how angry he look when Daddy Jen took away his balloon

Monday bluezzz

Every Sunday night sure feel moody as next day need to work and sure Monday bluezz after spending 2 days of weekends with the family. But today i'm feeling very happy though tired hee.. bcos Daddy Jen is coming home tonight. He'll arrive S'pore at 2140hrs & should be back home by 11plus. Looking forward to knock off early today "crossing all fingers & toes" if i can then i will cheong to fetch jerald home to wait for his daddy yipee!!!

Mosquitoes shoo shoo...

Slept nearly 2am last night as i find it weird being alone at home. Wake up at 6am today & cheong over to my parents house just to see jerald b4 i leave for work. I got a shocked when i saw him as his face is red & swollen due to those hungry mosquitoes. Jerald was bitten all over his face, neck, chest & fingers. This shows that the mosquitoes patch i order is no use at all. I feel so heart pain... Told my mum no matter wat i must bring him home tonight as i dun want him to kena it again tonight. My noti boy cried badly when i leave for work. Normally he'll smile & give me a flying kiss but today he's totally different. Tears nearly flood my eyes but i just got to be brave & tell him to be good & i'll see him tonight. Both my mum & dad start to nag non stop... keep calling me when i was busy clearing my work. Last min my boss told me i need to work late when it was nearly 6pm.. wats new.. anyway i'm prepared so tell mum tat i may be late but somehow it's nearly 9pm but i'm still in office. Decided to call mum & ask abt jerald but she say all of them going to bed soon as she's very tired. I'm really grateful for my parents help as both of them take care of 3 terrors including my boy so i'm sure it's damn tiring. So decided not to disturb her & told her i'll be there tmr early morning.
Managed to use my lousy phone to take a pic of jerald. Though not very clear but those in circle is the swollen bite. My poor boy...

PS: I called MOE to complain about the mosquitoes & they say will check & get back to me in 1-3 days time. Hope they can help to solve the problem soon.

Emotional period

Last night is a bit unusual for Jerald as he always KO by 10pm but he just dun wan to sleep though i can see he's very tired. I think he can sense that Daddy Jen is going away again cos i keep telling him to be guai guai & listen to po po & gong gong when we are not around next few days. He just nop his head & look at us with a kind of sad look. Whole night didn't sleep much as jerald keep waking up to cry for no reason. My heart really sink when we sent him over this morning, my eyes are filled with tears when he waved bye to me haiz.. I tried to act brave infront of Daddy Jen as i don't want him to worry also. Called my mum when i reached office & Jerald keep calling mummy & daddy non stop. This time i really feel like crying... I know i'm too emotional but i can't help it. I used to tell Daddy Jen it's ok if he travel as i've Jerald with me now. But now i couldn't bring him home at all so i tends to miss him more.

Daddy Jen will be away for business trip to Sydney starting today till next Monday night. Somehow i just feel so lost even few days b4 i already feel sad though i'm already used to it. This time round i'm really feeling lonely as i'll be home alone. My parents & Daddy Jen forbid me to bring Jerald home since i can't carry him yet so better let him stay over till Daddy Jen comes back. Actually Daddy Jen ask me to stay over at parents hse for these few nights since i'll definitely miss Jerald lots but i doubt i can sleep as there are really lots of mosquitoes there. If kena biten will be hell for me as it'll be super swollen. Jerald is just like me as he kena few times on his face & legs but i got no choice. I managed to buy some mosquitoe patches recommended by friends. Pray hard hope Jerald will be safe from it.

Thought of visiting Jerald after work everyday but i scared he'll think i'm fetching him home as he'll always want to wear his shoes whenever he see us at the door. No choice I can only visit Jerald early morning b4 i leave for work for the next few days. Hopefully time flies fast so that i can see Daddy Jen & fetch Jerald home.

My baobei is 18mths old!

Time flies... my baobei is 18mths old today. He's simply so active & buay si tiam. It really shag me & Daddy Jen out during weekends. But we love it when he call us non stop till our hearts will melt. Till now he can say BIG when we spell BIG & also say alphabet A-E. Actually kids are very smart nowadays, they tends to surprise you with their action. Brought jerald for hair cut again, a pic of him with his real short hair hee..

Pacifier

Jerald always give me this kind of innocent look whenever he help himself to his "du du". I've been trying hard to wean him off but he simply love it to bits haiz.. Hope he will wean it off himself when he grow older.

Skypark

All along i wanted to expose Jerald more to outdoor activities but Daddy Jen is pretty protective & always say he's still young cannot this cannot that... Imagine we only brought him to swim once when he's only a few months old. Even though he loves to play with water but he tends to cry whenever we wash his hair. Sounds funny cos he's fine when my mum bath him at her place. Tell Daddy Jen to let Jerald try out the water play at Skypark in Vivo city. My boy really enjoy himself alot and we promised to bring him back again.
