38 is just a number

Quiet 38th birthday dinner with family... well, it was never really quiet with the 3 boys and 1 girl.

My precious princess!
I would share my birthday candles blowing moment with her every year as long as her wants it 

I was a little disappointed with Bay for misbehaving and singing nonsense during cake cutting. I know, he is a young boy but still I would be lying if I say I was not upset.

She Can Almost Do It By Herself too

Getting Meimei to wear her clothes on her own... She can almost do it by herself... with LOTS of protest and whining too when mummy is around.

2015 Brand New Start...

They are starting a new routine together!
Bay and Meimei are going to school together.

Keryn's 1st Day in N1 - She definitely lived up to the expectations... she puked 3 secs after I leave her side.

(what's new for our little Merlion)

Still, she managed to take her nap and enjoy some stories on her 1st day. 

Updates:

05 Jan 2015 - 4th day of skool
Finally got them out of the door... then she stepped on some poo on the grass!
Geez... what a start to day

20 Jan 2015 - 3rd week of skool
It's so heart warming to see them walking into Skool hand-in-hand.
Hopefully, they will continue to support each other for the rest of their lives

1st Stayover!

We had been toying on the idea of a stay over and when J2 had requested for it again on the last day of April... and I replied: "Why not?"

Our Experience with Chicken Pox

Despite having a vaccination, Bay has chicken pox!
Though it is not uncommon for the virus to break though, it is definitely unusual to see a full-blown case like this.

How to classify as full blown case?
My PD asked me to count the spots and if there are more than 100, it's a full blown case.

I stopped counting at 100 and they are just the spots on half of his torso! It is only the 2nd day, not even over the peak of "poxing". Oh man! We decided to give him the antiviral medication to shorten the symptoms duration. It has to be taken within 3 days from the start of first symptoms.

Our greatest worry is Meimei, who has not taken any of her vaccinations for Chicken Pox. As advised by our PD, we immediately brought her for the jab. If the jab is taken within 5 days of exposure, then there is a high chance that the jab will take effect faster than the virus. It's a race against time!

Update: As of 25 May 2014, 1 month after our chicken pox episode, Meimei is still pox free.

Implementing The Right Reward System For My Kid

Bay is highly motivated by the carrot. Recently, I implemented a reward system for him such that he will get a stamp if he had done something well (like learnt a new song on the piano, did his homework well, etc). He need to collect an agreed number of stamps before he can get his reward.

I guess all mummies and aunties of the only baby girl in the family will try to do that... no matter the amount of hair the little girl has.

Post 清明节 lunch 2014

I was told not to go to any columbarium, graves or burial grounds during pregnancy. Young children should avoid going to such places too.

Thus, I had not done my part for 清明节 (going to pray respects to my ancestors) since 2009 when I was pregnant with Kiiron.

This does not stop us from meeting the entourage of relatives for lunch after they are done with the praying.

Bay has been riding a balancing bike since 2 year old and has finally grown tall enough to reach the floor with his 2-wheeler. Meanwhile, Meimei has started to walk with a bit more confident than a drunkard.

Mummy's separation anxiety

As usual, I sent Bay to his skool this morning. While he was preoccupied with the routine morning checks, I went to fill up a form. I finished in time to see him happily dragging his bag towards his class. He didnt turn around to look for me... No goodbye nor big hug from him.

I had waited for this day to come, for my boy to be independent.  We had came a long way from a clingy baby to a sticky toddler who cried every day for months in skool. ... but why do I feel like crying while I'm writing this?

Seeing Doubles

A lot of people told me that Meimei looks like her Bay 哥哥. I dont want to believe until I did this comparison.  Oh! Why can't my kids look more like me?

Nov / Dec 2011 - Infinity Hong Kong

29 Nov 2011 - 04 Dec 2011
Bay is 2 years and 4.5 months old

We went to Hong Kong this year for our annual extended family tour. The 3 boys had been counting down to this trip for a long long time!


Day 1 (Travelling Day + Streets Shopping)

Enroute
An early start for this trip. Meeting at the airport at 6:00 am for our 7:55 am Tigerairways flight. Basically I dressed Bay in his nice long-sleeved t-shirt the day before, "plucked" him off the bed at 5.45 am and "chiong" straight to the airport.

Taking his first milk feed of the day @ the airport

Boarding...

Prohibited shots! (not phototaking on the tarmac! hehe!)
The most exciting part about flying from Budget Terminal... we get to go so close to the planes and the boys were so excited!

We must be one of the rare few who had our meals during the 3-hr budget flight

Tham brothers and their own in-flight entertainment

Lim boy and his in-flight entertainment

Fooling around...



Touch down!

The first thing that we did upon arrival was to go for lunch. Ok, I know we ate on the plane but it was lunch time already when we arrived.  

Our 1st meal in Hong Kong...
Baked Pork chop Rice @ 美心 Express, Airport Arrival Hall

Happy "Angry Bird" after lunch...

The whole 20-seater big bus just for the 9 of us
HKD900 per trip!

On the way to Kowloon city...

Angry "Angry bird" checking-in to Hotel Panorama, Tsimshatsui...
our hotel for the next 3 nights



Day 2 (Ocean Park ay + Streets Shopping)
