The Jen Family

Hospitalised from 8-13 Oct

2009-10-13T23:45:00.002+08:00

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

2009-09-27T23:09:00.002+08:00

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!

Renfred's birthday

2009-06-20T23:08:00.004+08:00

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.

Signature Smile

2009-05-31T23:16:00.002+08:00

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..

2009-05-17T23:05:00.003+08:00

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

2009-05-16T22:50:00.005+08:00

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.

2009-05-10T23:15:00.000+08:00

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

2009-05-09T23:22:00.007+08:00

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.

2009-05-06T23:17:00.002+08:00

Jerald say "Hi"

2009-05-05T16:32:00.001+08:00

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...

2009-05-03T23:47:00.002+08:00

Buay si tiam boy

Laughing non stop...

Jerald's pet dog LOL!

2009-05-02T22:38:00.001+08:00

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

2009-04-26T23:31:00.008+08:00

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

2009-04-20T23:38:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-04-19T23:26:00.003+08:00

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

2009-04-12T22:50:00.002+08:00

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

Simply love his toes..

2009-04-10T23:11:00.000+08:00

Jerald say sorry.. after playing with the powder.

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

19 Months old

2009-04-09T10:51:00.009+08:00

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...

2009-04-07T23:18:00.006+08:00

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

2009-04-05T22:48:00.004+08:00

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

2009-04-04T22:39:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-04-04T10:40:00.000+08:00

Samuel & Jerald

Garfield Vs Jerald

2009-03-29T17:28:00.002+08:00

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

2009-03-28T17:27:00.001+08:00

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

2009-03-22T22:40:00.000+08:00

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

2009-03-16T08:26:00.001+08:00

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...

2009-03-11T23:55:00.001+08:00

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

2009-03-10T23:55:00.000+08:00

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!

2009-03-09T23:43:00.008+08:00

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

2009-03-09T23:38:00.001+08:00

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

2009-03-01T22:32:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-02-27T22:12:00.003+08:00

Both me & Daddy Jen on leave today as my parents went Genting for a short trip. We went out early morning to see Dr Tung at his clinic b4 going Great World for lunch.

Sakae

2009-02-22T22:48:00.008+08:00

Daddy Jen brought us out for lunch at Sakae at Tiong Bahru Plaza.

Jerald will show me this pose whenever i say "act cute"

Told Jerald to smile & he gave me this cheeky look.

What a day!

2009-02-20T15:45:00.006+08:00

17.02.09
Today is my birthday & i'm supposed to be on half day to enjoy a buffet lunch with Daddy Jen but i'm spending time in hospital instead. What a boring day... just as i was lying down reading Strait times. One of the nurse walk into my ward & showed me a bouquet of roses. Oh gosh... the sender was Daddy Jen. OMG!!! It was dunno since when i receive flowers from him. I really got a shock & it brighten up my day in the early morning. SMS Daddy Jen to thank him for the flowers & he mentioned he changed the addy last minute as it was supposed to be delivered to my office instead.

I got a surprise from some of my friends as well. They sent me a vase of roses with a vase of message teddy.

Drama series

2009-02-20T15:29:00.005+08:00

Today's Valentine's Day & Daddy Jen wanted to bring us out for dinner but somehow i was not well so we decided to stay at home while i lie on my bed all day long. Called my mum early morning & ask her for help to take care of Jerald as i may be dropping by to see Dr Tung. I packed my bag as Daddy Jen say i may need to be admit to hospital if things get worse. Imagine my back pain return & i've been hugging our toilet bowl since last night. Daddy Jen help to call Dr Tung's clinic to make an appointment but i simply can't get up from my bed. Dr Tung is very sure that he has solved my problem & said maybe i got infection after the removal of J. Stent yday. So Daddy Jen decided to go on his own to collect some antibotics on my behalf while i rest.

15.02.09
Things didn't get better... my stomach is feeling worse & i really vomit non stop just like a "Merlion". This's the 1st time i feel the night is long & quiet... as i didn't sleep but stuck inside bathroom hugging my toilet bowl. Daddy Jen serve me my medicine & ask me to endure as much as i can. But somehow i can't help screaming as the pain is getting worse. There's moments when i feel like dying rather than suffering & be a burden to my family. Whenever think of my boy, I can't do it but only suffer in silence. There are also moments when i nearly call an ambulance but i told myself maybe the pain will just go off soon.

16.02.09
Finally i told Daddy Jen i really cannot take it anymore... I decide to see a GP near our place even if i need to crawl there. It may sounds exaggering but i really walk like an old lady with a hunch back. Daddy Jen send me to wait at the clinic while he send Jerald over to my parents house. GP wrote a letter & suggested that i go back to my doc since he say it might be some inflammation inside my body.
Daddy Jen called Dr Tung's clinic & told him we'll rush down straight past away. Dr Tung decided to admit me as he feel something is wrong. I was so shacked as i didn't sleep for the few night with a pale face & dark eye bags. This time round admission is so much faster than b4, i got into the ward in less than 30mins. Daddy Jen decided to take urgent leave to accompany me. I was arranged to go for CT scan on an urgent basic. Bad omens started to come to my mind... Though i know the scan will takes about 20min but I feel something is not right. They tried to call my doc but heard he was in the operating theatre. So i just lie there in despair, lonely & worried & cold. A doc suddenly came to me & told me there's some fluid in my abodmen & asked if he can scan other parts of my body since i'm here already. I asked him to go ahead as i don't wish to go thru it anymore. After everything done, i was wheeled out & i saw my doc with Daddy Jen. Dr Tung looked at me with a worried face & said my wound is not healed internally so when he removed the J. stent yday the urine actually flowed out. Both me & Daddy Jen were very pissed off as he can't assume it in the first place that my wound is fully healed though he said normally by 2mths. He said he need to scheduled another GA immediately to insert the J. stent again. Not again... i dun want to go thru this...
I can't help feeling why i'm so "suay". Things happened one after another...
I was wheeled into the OT at 5.30pm and was out by 6.30pm. I was in a drowsy mode until 8plus then i started to regain conscious. Will be on drip till tmr & if it gets better then i can be discharged liao.

17.02.09
Today wake up with a bit sore at my wound so doc say to monitor 1 more day haiz... 1st time spending my birthday in hospital. No words to describe how i feel but life still moves on...

18.02.09
Can't sleep whole of last night as my neighbours are too noisy. Some of their maids stay behind the whole night to look after them & really makes lots of noise. Anyway no matter wat i wan to be discharged by today. Dr Tung came in a bit late this morning & ask me how i'm feeling today. I told him i'm fine & i wan to go home. He gave green light & ask to rest till next Monday b4 returning to work. Yipee... finally can go home to smell my bed. Also to fetch Jerald home since we didn't bring him home for the past few nights. We really missed him lots..

Precious Moment

2009-02-13T15:45:00.000+08:00

All along i love Precious Moments figurine but i just find it too ex to own one. Finally Daddy Jen bought me a very sweet figurine for a so called early Valentine Day cum Birthday pressie. As my birthday is only 3 days away from V. day so normally we will celebrate together.

Isn't this figure sweet hee... "Your Love Makes My Heart Blossom"
It says...
Love fills hearts with feelings of eternal spring. Ready to present his love with a beautiful bloom to express his devotion, this little cutie first asks for one small favor - a kiss! Though she blushes, she is so thankful to have found someone with whom to share her heart and love. This figurine is a testament to both new love and lasting commitments.

2009-02-13T15:21:00.003+08:00

Today i'll be on mc as i'll be visiting Dr Tung at the Endoscopy Suite at Gleneagles hospital to remove the J. Stent at 11am. Thought Jerald will sleep longer since i'm bringing him to my parents house later. He climb down our bed at 8am & walk straight to the living room asking me to switch on Wheel on the bus for him to see.

See how Jerald stare at the tv without blinking his eyes. Imagine he can watch it on his own for 30mins.

Cooking

2009-02-08T15:15:00.002+08:00

I'm sad to say i'm not a home cook person. I'm a lousy & lazy mum as i prefer to spend more time with Jerald during weekends since i work late every weekdays. We decided to stay home today as we need to work tmr. So i decided to cook some porridge for Jerald while he's napping. Then managed to do some groceries shopping at ntuc & bought some ham, bread, eggs & cucumber for our lunch & dinner.

Mini gathering

2009-02-07T22:43:00.006+08:00

The last time we meet up is at Jerald's 1st birthday party. This time round we meet up for a pot luck lunch at Joanne's house. Though supposed to reach there at 1pm but only managed to reach there abt 3plus as we don't want to disturb Jerald from his nap.

Jerald posing with his elmo toy after his morning bath.

Jerald stick elmo on our wardrobe which surprise me & Daddy Jen.

Some pics to share of the kiddos at Joanne's house.

Shopping

2009-02-06T23:53:00.006+08:00

Went shopping during lunch time at Suntec 3rd floor. Saw a shop near to Toy r us sellin all sorts of kids stuff. Managed to buy 2 sets of flashcard each costs $6.90 only & Elmo toy with music for $6.90 too. Also got a Elmo bag for Jerald as well. I went to another shop selling kids clothings.. saw the Pooh pillow cum storybook which i've been aiming quite sometime. It was a very good deal costs only $19.90 & its usual price is $30plus.

Bought this music carpet few weeks ago from BP. Jerald loves pressing & sitting on it.

CNY Day 7 - Happy Birthday to everyone!

2009-02-01T22:35:00.002+08:00

Today is so called "REN RI" paisei hope i spell it correctly as Daddy Jen didn't upload chinese dictionary so can only based on my lousy hanyu pinyin.
Jerald is still not well but we still bring him to my parents house to eat dinner & loh hei.

Yummy Salmon yusheng with red eggs at the side. All the ingredients freshly made by my mum except the "golden crackers" brought from ntuc. My mum say it's everyone's birthday today so must red egg. Jerald loves throwing the eggs one by one on the floor.

CNY Day 5 & 6

2009-01-31T23:53:00.006+08:00

Jerald suddenly run a high fever of 39.7 degree on friday morning... I can't take leave as i need to rush Court docs for my bosses. As usual, we send him over to my parents house before leaving for work. My heart was so heavy & painful when i passed him over to my mum. Can't even take leave when my son is sick ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Told my mum to fetch him Bufen as & when required. I called my mum a few times & was told his fever went up & down... Lucky Daddy Jen help to fetch Jerald home as i worked late till 11pm then knock off. Imagine I still need to return to work the next day which is a Saturday haiz...

Whole night didn't sleep well as i kept waking up to check on Jerald's temp. His fever is really like a roller coaster up & down... Wake up early morning & we brought him to see PD at TMC. Dr Keoy was surprised to see us again after the last visit on 20/1/09. He decided to send Jerald for a blood test just to make sure he didn't catch dengue fever & also to find out the cause of his high fever. Brought him to the lab where the nurse poke his finger & draw some blood. My brave boy didn't cry at all & even smile & wave bye after the test.

A pic of cheeky Jerald at TMC cafe while waiting for his blood test result.

He dun look sick at all when his fever subsided but once fever comes back his face will be like this below... Daddy Jen did sent me sms on & off saying Jerald is feeling very hot & uncomfy..

His blood test was out after an hr & went back to see PD again. Dr Keoy say Jerald catch a "Bacteria infection" which is due to airborne. He was given another type of antibotics which need to take for 5days. Lucky nothing serious... Quickly give Jerald a hug & passed him to Daddy Jen while i rushed of to work on a Saturday. Imagine my colleague even sms me to say need to finish everything by today if not need to return office on a Sunday.

Reached office at 12.30pm & start doing all the photocopying, binding etc... This is what me & my colleague have done.

Everything pack nicely & store inside boxes to be send to the High Court next Monday.
Managed to get it done by 6.30pm then zoom home to take over from Daddy jen.

Chinese New Year - Day 1

2009-01-26T23:53:00.019+08:00

It's a busy day today... Wake up at 7am to prepare things while Daddy Jen & Jerald are still in their la la land.. Manage to set off to my parents house at 9.15am b4 heading to my Aunt's place, Godfather's house, Big Auntie's house etc...

I always look forward to 1st day of CNY as i get to eat my favourite mee sua. My dad will order these special mee sua from a shop every year & it's cook dry instead of those soupy kind. It's a tradtional meal which all my family members need to eat b4 we set off for relatives house. My dad's dialect is Hokkien "Heng Hwa" Xin Hwa so this dish is called "Heng Hwa" mee sua.

The pic may not look nice to u cos i was on vegetarian today so not much variety i can put on the mee sua. The ingredients includes beancurd, black fungus, green vegetables, fried egg, meat, mushroom, peanuts on top many more...

The weather is pretty hot today so just wear the tang zhuang top to show my parents b4 changing him to a polo tee.

2009-01-25T23:53:00.000+08:00

My throat got worse this morning so decided to see a GP b4 it get worse. I hate sore throat as i can go to the extent to no voice if it's really infected. GP prescribed some antibiotics & coughing syrup hopefully will get better by tomorrow.

We went for early reunion dinner at my parents house at 6pm. We were a bit late cos Daddy Jen & Jerald were having their sweet nap.

Some nice pics to share... all home cooked food done by my mum. It's really yummy..

2009-01-25T16:30:00.012+08:00

Jerald get well liao so we brought him to Ikea at Alexandra for breakfast with Kiok Teck & family. So happy tat they brought Jerald a set of Tang Zhuang for CNY. I've been persuading Daddy Jen ever since Jerald was born but he keep saying it looks so traditional & "ugly", weather so cold lah blar blar... He still prefer i dress his boy with t-shirt & jeans or shorts. But today he agree & say let him wear on the 1s day of CNY. Though it's a bit too big for jerald but i'll only let him wear to my parents house after tat may change him to a set of new clohings we got it.

Pose for mummy while waiting for my food to arrive hee...

My 1st set of Tang Zhuang bought by Uncle Kiok Teck Auntie Jenny

My turn to be down... though woke up with stuffy nose & very dry throat i thought it's ok so drink plenty of water but didn't help much & even developed a fever of 38.3 degree all of a sudden. Told Daddy Jen tat i feel so weak & cold. Quickly pop 2 panadol & went for a short nap b4 rushing off to MIL's house for reunion dinner. We were late for dinner as part maid was here & both me & Jerald nap till 8plus then wake up.
Reached home about 10plus & feed jerald his medicine b4 we change & put him to his bed. Heard a few sound of dry cough from him when i was bathing. As expected, best friend cough visit him since flu pal is still in his body. Lucky Daddy Jen ask his pd to prescribe some cough syrup to standby during last visit.

Hope all bugs... Virus go away... shooooooooooooo

19.01.09 Eye infection & High fever

2009-01-22T23:18:00.006+08:00

My mum suddenly called my hp telling me Jerald's right eye is swollen & red. I really got a shock as he's still ok in the morning when we send him over to my parents b4 we left for work. So i ask my mum to monitor & ask her to call me if it get worse. Unexpected he can't get to sleep though only has a power nap merely 15min. My mum say his eye got worse & he can't even open his eye at all. As most clinics are closed since it's about 3pm, my dad managed bring him to a GP at Holland Rd. I tried to call the doc & she said jerald has eye infection due to excess rubbing of his eye either after touching something dirty. Doc prescribed eye drop & say will take few days to clear. Phew... glad to hear it's nothing serious.

His right eye was so swollen till he can't open it when he wake up.

Tuesday morning i decided to take half day leave to bring him to see pd as his eye still very swollen. Jerald weighs 11.7kg & 79cm. PD mention he has sore eyes so prescribed him some antibiotic & continue to give eye drop. He said will clear in 2-3days. At night things fot worse, when i was changing diaper for jerald after his last feed. I noticed his body is very warm & his head is burning hot. I wonder wat's wrong as he's still ok earlier & even play with us when we fetch him home.

Daddy Jen measured his temp & notice he's running a fever of 39.5 degree. OMG, wat happen to my boy??? Why suddenly fever??? I'm in a lost lucky Daddy Jen ask me o cool down & we try to feed him some Bufen hopefully he'll be ok tomorrow morning. I even tell myself i had rather tat i'm the one sick than my boy. It's really heartpain to see him like tat. Whole night didn't sleep at all cos kept waking up to check jerald's temp. Early morning his fever gone down a bit 38.7 degree, we decided to bring him back to see pd again as CNY is drawing near... This time pd is also shock to see us but he mentioned jerald's eye is so much better. He said jerald has caught a flu bug but told him everone well at home. He mentioned there are many virus around nowadays so be careful. He told us to moniter him for the next 2-3days as his fever will go up & down like roller coaster. We pray hard hope Jerald get well soon... Mummy & Daddy loves you.

Do I look Cool???

Chinatown

2009-01-17T00:38:00.005+08:00

Brought Jerald to Chinatown to shop for CNY goodies & meet up with Lillian, Danny & her boy Travis. Both our boys enjoyed the trip but poor Daddy Jen & Mummy Lillian as both of them carry them all the way when we browse around. We went there early morning to aviod the crowd but the sun was very bright & it was really warm. Only manage to take some pics when we went to Chinatown McDonald for a drink plus make milk for our boys.

Happy Jerald

New look of the Year

2009-01-11T23:55:00.006+08:00

Happy Wedding Anniversary

2009-01-08T23:55:00.013+08:00

Time flies... We've been married for 3years. Hoping Daddy Jen will give me a surprise by buying me my favourite flowers but nothing... He's not a romantic man with little words to say as he's quite a quiet man not like me can talk non stop haha... Thought but lucky Daddy Jen called his mum to say we are not going for dinner tonight as every tuesday & thursday we will bring jerald over to eat dinner and also let her see her grandson.

Daddy Jen brought me to eat seafood at No Signboard at Esplanade. We had a 6 course dinner at $199+++ for 2 person. This's the most expensive meal i've taken so far... imagine i can buy many many things for jerald with this sum of money. This will be our first & last time stepping into the restaurant as it's not worth the price also.

My Precious Boy

2009-01-02T16:21:00.009+08:00

All along we called Jerald "Bao bei" & whenever we asked him...

Mummy: Who am I?
Jerald: Mummy
Daddy: Who am I?
Jerald: Daddy
Mummy: Who are u? He'll look at my lips & say "bao bei"

I was feeling pretty lousy since last night as i'm starting work today after a month of rest doing nothing. This morning Jerald brighten up my day & I'm so happy & tears nearly rolled down... He greeted us while we are inside the lift & say he's our bao bei. Both me & Daddy Jen were shocked. My boy has really grown up and learned many many things day by day.

Till now he's coming to 16months soon.

The things tat he knows...
- He knows how to shake & nod his head
- his hand wave "Hi" when told to do so.
- Say & point Shhh.. when he want people to keep quiet.
- Can say gor gor, jie jie, po po, gong gong, nai nai, mama, papa, daddy, mummy, ah gu (my bro), ah kim (my SIL) but hor he only knows how to say gu & kim , bao bei, bird, wet, car, cat, dog, take, eat, bear, Pooh & Friends : eyore the clearest of all, other than tat tigger=ger, piglet=let, pooh=pooh bear.
- Clap his hands, point eyes, nose, mouth & pull our ears.
- blow "kiss goodbye"
- Go to the shoe rack to take his shoe when we say gai gai..
- sayang all plush toys we gave him etc...

Goodbye Year 2008 & Welcome Year 2009

2009-01-01T01:30:00.004+08:00

We managed to reach home early since my parents house are nearby.. We tried to play with Jerald & managed to say "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to him at 12am sharp while we stand at our kitchen window watching the nice "Fireworks" from Marina Bay. Too bad the block opposite blocked us if not we can see a clearer view of the fireworks at Vivo City too. After tat, quickly bring Jerald to his bed while i continue to update blog on my bed hee..

A lot of up & down this year especially after my major op recently. I treasure my life more as i tell my hb tat i won't die so soon as i still wan to attend Jerald's wedding in future "hopefully" I realise i'm really blessed to have such a caring & nice hubby, an adorable son which makes our family a complete one since your arrival.

Daddy Jen,
Thank you for being there for me thru the difficult times. Also enduring with me for being so blunt whenever i talk. I promise i'll be a better wife & a mother to you & Jerald. I'll try to learn how to cook more often so tat we won't need to go out & spend $ on unnecessary food & petrol.

My bao bei Jerald,
You really lights up our family since your arrival. There's always never ending laughter with you around no matter how notti you are but your smile melts our hearts & you are spared from scolding. Mummy & daddy are so proud of you...

Wishing all my loved ones be blessed with good health, wealth & career. May all our wishes comes true. Happy New Year to all... a better, brighter & healtier 2009!

Ps: My Wedding Anniversary coming soonnnn... i wonder is there any flowers or surprise hor??? *blink*

Tooth visting cum Nightmare again

2008-12-19T23:57:00.005+08:00

Jerald has been drooling like nobody business again... can see his 2 upper canine coming out & this time round is worse as he tends to put almost everything into his mouth even aiming at my mum's shoulders or Daddy Jen's thighs. Right now he has 14 teeth, can tell it's damn uncomfy for him & he starts to wake up practically at 1am, 3am, 6am or 2am & 4am alternate days. Hope everything return to normal soon. Poor boy...

Can't sit still for a min...

2008-12-16T23:50:00.007+08:00

Do i look good with my po po's bag??

This looks interesting...

Trying to peel off...

Where's everyone???

Help...

Bonding time

2008-12-13T22:49:00.004+08:00

All these while, i've been accompanying Jerald at the back seat whenever Daddy Jen drives us out. He'll cry & yell whenever he can't see me or i left the car without him. So he has been handling Jerald alone while i rest & guide him along. So far Jerald is enjoying himself with his daddy's company during the weekends except he still wants me whenever he sleep at night. Today Daddy Jen managed to bring Jerald out alone to meet up with his friends for coffee at Vivo city.

I can only drool when he show me a picture of Fondue they had at Haagen Dasz.

2008-12-12T23:51:00.006+08:00

Just went to remove the stitches today... It was super painful as my doc mentioned he did a whole line stitches rather than many stiches in a go. Imagine when he removed & pull the string i can feel something is tearing my skin & it was so sore when he wipe it with alcohol. My doc assured me tat the wound is shorter than my c-sect but i nearly faint when i saw it with my own eyes. The pain was worse than c-sect as it was just above my waist & the cut was few cm away from the belly button & it link till to the side so the length is like a small ruler long. Till now I've been using a binder to support me when i walk if not i can't even walk properly at all.

My doc extended my hospitalisation leave from 15 till 31 Dec'08 & ask me to bed rest & take painkillers as & when i feel pain. Daddy Jen say he's a maria ever since i'm discharged cos doc told me not to carry heavy stuff for at least 3 months. Which means i can't carry Jerald liao, i feel so sad whenever Jerald wants me to carry him. I think by the time i recover i doubt he want me to carry him anymore =(

Finally everything is over!

2008-12-12T22:49:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone, i'm back after a 4days 3 nights stay in Gleneagles hospital from 2 - 6 Dec'08. It was really a torture cos i feel so blur after the few hrs via GA. Imagine Daddy Jen panicked when i was still not out by 7pm as it was supposed to end by 6pm. My mum kept calling him & ask whether i'm out but i'm not... Everyone got so tensed & stress as they thought something worse happen to me cos b4 tat my doc did mentioned if my right kidney is not in good condition will need to have it removed.

The fact is Daddy Jen went to the Gents & missed me when i was wheeled out of the operating theatre. Poor him... He told me it was damn cold out the OT & no one informed him until he asked one of the nurses there then know tat i was back in my ward. So glad to hear Daddy Jen calling me in my ward & i suddenly feel so secured & glad tat i was out & doc told Daddy Jen tat the surgery was very successful. Also with a row of many incoming calls from my parents, bro, friends & colleagues. I was so surprised as i didn't tell many of them cos i dun think it's necessary to inform at all & no point making people worry also.

Till now i can still remember the days in hospital as i can't move with a few tubes on my body & the wound hurts plus i had bed sore for lying few days without moving at all. Really glad it's over... I must say a BIG thank you to Daddy Jen for getting different types of magazines to help me kill time. Also to fetch my parents & Jerald to see me everyday. Thanks for all the unconditional love, care & concern despise your busy schedule at work.

Also to thank all my friends, colleagues, relatives for all the sms, phone calls plus hampers & flowers too.

Last day in office

2008-12-01T23:35:00.001+08:00

Today is the day where i find that my table is clear of files and work. I cleared most of my work except some bills which need my bosses to approve b4 sending out. I just leave it as is it & hopefully i can contribute more when i return to work soon... unless my bosses decide to ask me to leave then bobian lor.. anyway daddy jen say he can let me be a temp "SAHM" if i really lose my job. Managed to clear 95% of my work & left office abt 10.30pm phew...

So nice of Daddy Jen to fetch me & zoommmm off to fetch my precious boy. I can't wait to hug my boy right now as i know i can't carry him for a period after my op. Pray hard & hope tat my op turns out well & pls let me be a normal person.

Dinner at honjin japanese restaurant

2008-11-30T23:19:00.016+08:00

Daddy brought me & jerald to eat buffet dinner at honjin at Robinson Rd. All along i wanted to eat buffet though both of us dun eat much but i just wan to have a nice dinner with my family b4 my op scheduled next tues, 2 dec'08 at 3pm. We've been to this restaurant few years back when we are still pak tori-ing hee.. Everything still remains the same, staffs, food, ambience except the price. Though it's 1 for 1 ala carte buffet but it costs $60 plus for UOB card offer. I nearly faint but Daddy Jen say let this be the last yummy dinner for me as i won't be able to taste all the nice seafood at least for a month after my op. So far all of us enjoy the food including jerald who keep asking for more... Actually there are more food like sashimi etc but a pity both me & daddy jen dun take raw stuff so everything i pose here are cooked hee...

Good boy Jerald wanted to order food for daddy & mummy. But nobody hiew him lor!

Today return back to work. As usual reached office abt 7.45am starts to clear my emails and tried to do as much work as i can. Trying to fight back my tears if my colleagues were to ask how i feel today. Most of them in my dept knows about my condition. I just hope tat they dun find me a weirdo & also a burden if i'm not around. Lucky all things turns out well, told my dept boss Mrs Thio and also my bosses tat i will be away for 2-4 weeks and will be back to contribute more & continue to work hard. Everyone in my dept wish me well while i buried myself with tons of work as i tried to clear as much as i can b4 i can rest my mind.

Back pain

2008-11-26T23:43:00.002+08:00

I've been having severe back pain since i was diagnosis with a "horseshoe" kidney in year 2001. I was born with it so i can only blame why like tat but life still carries on... Nothing serious just "weirdo" as i'll have on & off pain if i drink too much water or urine got stuck at the so called "passage tube or valve" So far so good & my doc Prof Tung can't do anything to me except to take pain killer if i've pain. I've took numerous types of painkiller so long as u can name it.. I'm really sick of life & at times i just dun care & endure with it. Things turn worse when i suddenly cannot wake up from my bed today as pain strike me since the night b4...

Imagine i've been having on & off pain for the past 2weeks which i think is normal. Called Dr Tung and told him i wan to do Xray & scan to see wat's wrong. We pray hard when we are at Gleneagles hoping tat it's just stones or something not as serious as kidney infection. I can see my doc's face is pretty worried... which makes me worried too. After Xray, ultrasound & CT scan... my doc said tat my kidney is swollen due to the blockage & suggested tat i go for a surgery asap. He said give me 2 days to think about it then call him to arrange for the op. Suddenly my mind was blank... Lucky Daddy Jen was there to support me & as usual i broke down in tears as my most fear has arrived...

I'm really worried...
1. worried tat i may lose my job as times are bad & need to trouble my colleague to take over my work.
2. worried tat i may lose my life "touch wood"
3. most worried about Jerald... and also how will Daddy Jen do if my op is unsuccessful.

Worried, worried & worried flowed my mind.

In the end, Daddy Jen is the one who encouraged me and make arrangement for me to go ahead for the op & promised me tat he'll take good care of Jerald during my 5-7 days stay in hospital.

Daddy JEN is away again... 20-23 Nov'08

2008-11-23T17:32:00.002+08:00

This time round i feel more insecure though I always tell Daddy Jen tat it's ok if he need to be on business trip as now i've my boy, Jerald with me so no worries hee... But i just can't help feeling down when he's not around especially now BKK is in chaos. My parents dun allow me to bring jerald home too as i need to work late. No point bringing him home late then still need to ferry him over early morning. Feeling down & stress at work at the same time... Feeling lousy as well keep asking myself why i dun have any license to drive though my car is sitting in the carpark. I can't help worrying & keep waiting for him to sms me. Finally i dun care just gve him a ring... Guess wat... he's actually playing cards with his colleagues in the hotel room while waiting to check out to depart for the airport. Phew... a peace of my mind. I can finally rest my mind for a while.

DADDY JEN, if u happen to read this post pls... bear in mind just a sms won't costs much ok... dun let us worry for nothing. Ah bish!!!

MUMMY

2008-11-17T22:28:00.000+08:00

Finally jerald called me "MUMMY" when i called my mum during lunch time to ask how my boy is doing. I'm not trying to boast around but i just feel "HAPPY" as he finally called me as he has been calling me "MAMA" for many months but i still prefer MUMMY. I know i'm vain but i just prefer tat way lor hee... Actually he knows a lot of things but hor he's just damn lazy & stubborn at times. The more u want him to do it but the more he won't. So i just let it be...

2008-11-15T22:23:00.003+08:00

As usual brought jerald to T3 for dinner and let him walk around the BIG space there. Tried to take a decent pic of him but he just can't sit still at all. Pardon this lousy pic as i tried to get him to pose with Disney character while daddy snap non stop.. Can tell his new hair cut after a week? This's the shortest tat we've cut so far..

Countless...

2008-11-09T17:20:00.001+08:00

Brought Jerald for his "dunno" how many times of haircut again!!! Didn't managed to take any photo this time round as hb says nothing special since he needs to cut almost every 1.5mths. But this time round we r very happy as this auntie really did a very clean & short cut for him. Hopefully this will last till at least X'mas b4 another round...

Finally well...

2008-11-08T23:57:00.001+08:00

I've been MIA for a long time... No time to update blog as i was really busy with work & work for the past months as i've been working OT almost everyday since the arrival of my new boss aka "LET". Just a short & quick update as wat happen during this pass weeks... Jerald has been having dry cough during his sleep at night since couple of weeks. I've been bringing him to see PD almost every week for 4 times in a month. Imagine how much $ has been wasted but so long as he gets well, we'll be happy. My hb was away on & off to BKK when i need him most but wat to do WORK is more impt!!! Suddenly things turn worse when his dry cough become phlegmy with stuffy nose. This time round, we just brought him to see a normal GP. He was prescribed with a week of antibodtics but it doesn't really clear off... So i've decided to give TCM a try. Brought him to Eu Ren Sang at Tiong Bahru Plaza and waited for almost an hr to see doc. Soon my cheerful boy was well after a week dose of bitter medicine eeeeeeeeeeeeee..... Finally he's well again YIPEE!!!

We went to Kelly's birthday party today but left the camera in the car so didn't manage to take any photo. After the party, we brought jerald for a hair cut again (imagine we need to bring u for haircut every 1.5mths) This time round i told daddy tat i want jerald to sit on his own rather than daddy carry him & let him sit on his lap. Both of us got a shock as he dun cry like b4 & take it very well. A big round of applause & well done baby! Daddy & Mummy are very proud of u.

Love note from Daddy & Mummy

2008-09-09T23:06:00.006+08:00

From Daddy,
Dear Jerald, Ever since u were conceived in mommy's womb, mommy & I were watching you grow from a small feotus to a small baby. It fills our heart with joy each time we see u grow. Imagine daddy have to drive Ur mommy around to find food to ease her cravings & I also put on weight as well.
On the eve, Mommy & I went to Sushi Teh with Uncle Steven, Auntie Valen & family for dinner to celebrate ur arrival. We even had Haagen Daz Ice Cream for dessert.
On the 9th Sep 07, when ur mommy is in the theatre and I was in the waiting area. I prayed tat U & ur mommy will be safe & healthy throughout the C-sect. When U arrived, u were crying veri loud & clear which doc Woody says u have a pair of good lungs. Ur mommy cried when holding u for the first time & daddy's heart was filled with joy. Remember when the nurse brought u out to weigh on the scale & u opened ur eyes & looked at daddy?
How time flies... Now u hve turn 1 year old. In our eyes, u hve grown into a adorable & cute boy. We hope tat u will grow up healthy, Study well & contribute to the society in the future.
Love u always, Daddy.

From Mommy :
Dear bb Jerald, last year this time when u were just born, u r the 1st bb boy to be born in TMC early morning. All the nurses & Woody say u r a cute & chubby bb weighing 3.945kg at 39wks & 1 day. Imagine when i was preggy with u, I ate like nobody business & i'm glad tat i dun have much MS but "only cravings" tats why i put on nearly 20kg which i find it really hard to go back to my pre pregnancy weight. Hope u dun grow up & ask me "Mummy, why r u so FAT??"
It's really not easy when i was preggy you as the placenta is low & no matter how much we prayed, it just couldn't move up. I was ordered to be on total bed rest by Doc Woody. He even gave me a letter to be admit to KKH just in case u decided to come out to see the world earlier than the due date on 15 Sept'07. Luckily everything went on smoothly & I've come to accept the fact that I can't give birth naturally and so accepted to go thru c-sect with LA on 9 Sept'07. Although it takes longer for the wound to heal but everything is worthwhile after seeing the smile on your face. We pray for ur health & wish u grow up to be a promising boy.
Love u always, mummy.

Official 1 Year Old today!

Jerald is well after so many days of "roller coaster fever" though rashes still there as PD mentioned will take about 2 weeks to go off. Today's a day b4 his actual birthday. His fresh look after his first feed in the morning...

2008-09-01T23:55:00.001+08:00

Jerald's fever return after we attended Travis's bday party. Oh my... his whole body has lots of red rashes & he starts to have diarrhoea too. Episode starts again... See him reject his food & milk make me so heartache. Brought him to see PD again as the rashes starts to spread to his face. PD cfm it's viral infection & his rashes is so called after fever rash not fake measles. He has diarrhoea due to the intake of wrong medicine. So PD ask to bring him for a blood test just to play safe. Lucky everything turns out ok & PD ask to bring him back for review again on 5 Sept'08.

The fever came back again after yday's photo shoot. I blamed myself should'nt proceed with it as he may have caught a cold when we change him during the shoot. Today jerald wake up with a sweet smile & it melts my heart seeing tat. Daddy checked his temp & it has return back to normal. Jerald starting to feel active & ask for biscuits. So we brought him to a friend's baby 1st birthday day & jerald enjoy himself a lot. Then i saw something which makes my eyes super BIG. I saw jerald's legs starts to show some red spots... We suspect it's fake measles so just monitor...
He must be very tired... see how he doze off in my arms.
