Updates of Little Arielle's Health Status

Well, thank god that:

1. Little Arielle's fingers are fine now. Awaiting for the skin to grow back to her skin colour. No more raw wounds and the dried skin has already peeled off!

2. Hmm din hear her coughing anymore. Hopefully it stays this way else more medication is required!

3. Her rashes are gone!! No more itch and no more scratches = no more frustrations!

Crossing my fingers that everyone would be healthy as we count down to our Japan trip! Another 6 more days to go....

Kena Scolded

XP would seldom scream his head off unless Little Arielle is very very naughty. He wanted to clean up for her and change her diaper so that she can have a comfortable sleep. Who knows this little one refused to let him do it and was wrinkling like a worm. XP was so mad that he shouted at her. She refused to listen and continued with what she is doing. XP couldn't take it, raised his voice and grabbed her down. As children do not like to be forced to do things, Little Arielle's only reaction is to cry. Her cries were louder when XP raised his voice. Cries turned into bitter sobbing that I cannot take it and decided to take over from here.

Hugged this naughty one so that she can stop crying and settle down on her sobs. Next, I quickly changed her diapers and clean up for her. Once she's done, she stopped her crying. Got her to apologize to Daddy and they are "good friends" once again!

Biting Spree!

Well, is this how one reacts if they dun like someone? Little Arielle only likes to bite me. She would sieze any opportunities to bite me on my fingers or on my arm when I am not paying attention. Her bites apparently left markings on my arms for a few hours! Thought that their gums are not itchy after all the teeth are out??

Dun Wan Me Again!

Well, I kinda of "see open" liaoz when Little Arielle refused to let me carry her. She still prefers either her gong gong or her daddy. Is it really true that opposite sex attracts?? I thought that mother is the most important person?? Well, seems like it's not the case with Little Arielle. Hmm, or am I such a failure that made her like others more than me??

Veg Lover??

Little Arielle was at the dinner table with me. Wanted to let her eat some food. First, I took some minced meat egg and she said "Bu Yao". Next, I took some sliced pork and again she said "Bu Yao". Alamak, this dun wan, that dun wan! In the end, I asked her what does she want? She pointed to the green leafy vegetable and I thought that she is kidding me! I took a bit of the veg and gave it to her. Oh! She really wants to eat that! What a pleasant surprise!

Partial Success

Hmm, managed to place Little Arielle on her mattress and she continued with her sleep. Thought that she would wake up once I changed her position. She continued her sleep until this morning about 5am when XP shifted her up to the bed as he is going off to help with Douglas's wedding.

Hmm, this is indeed a good start! Way to go man!

She Bit and She Fell

Huh? What does it mean? Well, it means she bit me and she fell off the bed!

What happened was this naughty one suddenly just grabbed hold of my hand and bit me real hard! I can see all her teeth marks on my arm and it turned red in a few minutes! Not sure if her gums are itchy or she just enjoys biting me! Hmm probably because I did it to her when she was young. Aiyah of cos it's the geh geh type lah, din really bite mah! Perhaps she remembered deep down in her!

After she is satisfied with her bite, she was rolling to and fro on the bed. Have already warned her to be careful as I saw her nearing the edge. Either she din understand me or she simply ignored me and the next moment, she was off the bed. Luckily XP was very near her and he managed to catch hold of her head. Thus, only her body was hurt. Else it would be disasterous again if she hurts her head! Aiyo, why is she so accident prone??

A Nuisance Morning!

Since XP is not around in the morning (5.30am), I'm left alone with Little Arielle. She has been a little devil since 8.30am, the time that she woke up. She is either busy with her hands, trying to grab things that she is not supposed to, else she is cranky and whining away for no apparent reason (probably missing her daddy!) XP has gone to help out with one of his CRV friend, Douglas as a driver for his wedding car!

I had to multi-task ~ looking after her and doing up her slideshow. Aiyo, alone is indeed siongz leh! Even din have the chance to eat breakfast. Alamak was feeling so hungry until XP called and asked me to get ready as he would be fetching us to Douglas's house for buffet lunch.

Finally had a chance to eat something and that was already about 2pm. Was happily enjoying my food when Little Arielle had to spill the dessert on the carpet. Alamak, not sure whose dessert is that but apparently, it was just left on the table. This naughty girl's itchy hands went to meddle with it and ta da, part of the dessert was spilled onto the carpet. Luckily the carpet was not stained! Some of his friends assisted to do the clean up and I got XP to carry her away. Was so angry with her behaviour today!

Din really stay long at his place as XP was pretty tired. Went back home and after XP has bathed, 1st thing he did is to SLEEP....

Where is Daddy?

Wat biangz, the first person that Little Arielle went looking around when she wakes up is her DADDY! Next, she would keep searching around for her daddy and kick up a fuss when she din get to see him!

Alamak, mummy is transparent huh??

I'm on Front Cover!

That's me when I'm 10 months old!

That's me when I'm 15 months old!

That's me when I'm 17 months old!

Walkaton

XP decided to park at a carpark near Tao Nan School and we will walk to Parkway for some window shopping. It took us about 15-20 minutes to reach. I guessed people will long legs would probably take a shorter time.

The first thing that XP was looking for is the money changer. He wanna find out what is the rate for yen. Our trip is just 1 week away and we have yet to change our money. Steady hor! Well, that's because yen has been rising recently and XP feels that the rate will go down, so we have been waiting patiently for it to go down. Hopefully, our wish will come true leh!

The next thing that XP was looking out for is his QB house. Orr he wanna have a haircut! So I guessed that is the real intention of him going to Parkway. I walked around with Little Arielle while XP waits for his turn for the haircut. Hee hee spent money again at Isetan! Remember I bought the bolster for Little Arielle the other day. Hmm, today I bought bolster cover for her! Wanted to buy matching pillow for her too but was stopped by XP. Same reason lah, dun anyhow spend money unnecessarily lor!

Happened to pass by the nursery room in Isetan. Din know that there is one in the first place. Only remembered that there is one in Isetan Scotts. Took the chance to go in to change Little Arielle's diaper and at the same time took some water for her. One thing professional about Isetan's nursery room is that they provide hot water and cold water. To add on, their changing area is also clean and comfortable. This is what a nursey room should have!

After the nursery room visit, we went round the other floors and thereafter left Parkway. Walked to one coffeeshop near Chapel Road to have our dinner and afterwhich proceeded to walk back to the carpark. Wat seh, I think we have walked about 1 hour altogether. Good exercise man!

My Doing

I was very mad with Little Arielle today. Her actions were quick and she just grabbed the small packet of milo right in front of my eyes. What made me angry was that she went to squeeze the packet and milo was spilt all over my shorts. I spanked her hard with my bare hands. To make things worst, she went to grab other dangerous items on the table. I could not control and I immediately took the cane and beat her on her right arm. Din know that it would leave a mark there. Dun remember hitting her that hard.

Felt so guilty after that. XP kept mumbling that dun noe would be a permanent mark or not. Made me feel so bad and I quickly use lotion to rub on her skin. Hengz ah, the mark went off a few hours later....

Swimming Time

Ah gong's house has a swimming pool and Little Arielle is all ready to go into the pool. We din prepare her swimming gear and it's already late at night. Thus, I was not for the idea to let her swim. Sikali she catch a cold and fall sick then I would have a problem when we go Japan. So to play safe, we din allow her to go down.

Hmm, we just let her dip her legs in the water for a while hee hee!

Ah Gong's Birthday

It's not Little Arielle's gong gong but mine. Hmm, this means it's Little Arielle's lao gong gong. Hee hee.

We celebrated his birthday today but the interesting thing is, I dun noe how old he is. Well, nevermind, as long as everyone is happy! Big auntie is as usual the chef in charge. She has prepapred a lot of food for us and everyone is enjoying it!

Greedy Pig!

I supposed all kids are like that! They like to eat whatever we adults are eating, especially sinful food! We ordered McDonald for mama as she had not had her dinner.

When the food arrived, Little Arielle was equally excited. She kept pestering XP for food. XP had no choice but to give her some fries. I had to come in and restrict him for giving so much to her as Little Arielle has yet to fully recover from her cough.

Aiyo, hope that the fries is not gonna make her cough worst tonight!

No More Rashes!

Oh finally the rashes are gone! Dun even know how it came about in the first place. If it's not due to food (as mama claimed that she did not give any foreign food to Little Arielle) then it must be due to some germs or virus in the environment or objects. Whatever the case may be, the good news is that Little Arielle has recovered from it. But the bad news is that she has a few scratch lines around her neck. This is a result of the itch. It must have been that itchy until she can't help scratching it. Gotta take care of the wound and hope that it would go off soon....A worrying mummy....

Road to Recovery

Was glad that Little Arielle's cough, burnt fingers and rashes are better. Let's hope that everything is gone before the Japan trip so that she can enjoy herself in Japan! Another 12 more days to Japan....

Little Arielle was exceptionally happy when her jiu jiu is back early today to play with her!! Hmm this jiu jiu is more lovable hee hee!

Ice-Cream Time

25th Mar 2008

Just reached mama's house and saw a young chap pushing his trolley with a box of ice-cream. Hmm realised that he doing door-to-door sales for his cornetto and magnum ice-cream. XP has craving for ice-cream and Little Arielle was also looking very interested in it.

To help the young chap and curb our craving, we bought the package which consists of 5 magnum and 4 cornetto. It only cost us $17. This young chap I think is only between 15 - 20 years old and he has to do such task. His earnings is quite little. If he sells $100 worth of ice-cream, he would only get $30. So I should say that our kids nowadays are so fortunate and pampered. So much so that they dun noe that there are unfortunate people around us. All of us should count our blessings!

Anyway, back to our ice-cream! XP couldn't resist the temptation and decided to have 1 stick before dinner. Little Arielle was sticking to him closely so that she can get to eat too hee hee!

What! Bump into Forehead Again!!

Little Arielle was very close to me when she bang herself near the edge of the table. Luckily the edge is not sharp, else her forehead is sure gonna bleed. The bump is now on her left side of her forehead. Now balance liazo lor, each side got 1 bump.

A lot of attention is really required especially when kids can walk and run. It is indeed tiring to run after them after a day's work. I really salute to SAHM who can be with their kids the whole day, 24/7.

Sometimes, it's really hard to strike a balance. It's either you work or you dun work. Each situation has got its pros and cons and whichever option that you choose, you would have to be responsible for it. Hmm who knows 1 fine day, I might decide to be a SAHM too hee hee!

Her Rashes Status

Due to some work committments, I am unable to bring Little Arielle to the doc this morning. Thus, I can only call back every now and then to check on her status. Last update by mama at 5.30pm was that her rash was still quite bad. Told XP that we have to bring her to the doc tonight. I was quite reluctant cos I remembered that the doctor on duty tonight is the one that I dun like. But if her situation is bad, I just have to bring her there even though I din like her.

Went back immediately to fetch Little Arielle to the doctor. Ah, realised that her rashes have went off quite a bit. So decided not to bring her to the doctor and will monitor her situation again tomorrow.

Praying hard that it would go off totally tomorrow!

My Poor Baby!

It was 2am in the morning when Little Arielle was rolling to and fro on the bed. She sounded frustrated and she was whining away. Thought that she was hungry again and made some milk for her. She did finish the milk but she continued with the roll and whine after that.

Next, I saw her scratching herself vigourously and I immediately understand her frustration. Tried to put on a lot of calamine lotion for her so that it can help ease the itch. She was still feeling terrible and I really dun noe how else I can help her. I felt so upset and helpless at that time!

Finally, she managed to fall asleep after a long struggle. Hope that she gets better today!

More Red Patches!

Was back home and wanna wash up for Little Arielle so that I can apply the calamine lotion on her. I got a shock when I saw more red patches on her body! It really pains me when I saw that. I was really very upset about it. Sometimes I would blame myself for not being the one to take care of her full time.

Was glad for a moment that she did not scratch after the lotion is applied on her. Hoping that the patches will go away soon!

Rashes?? Not Again??

Was home after work as usual. Saw mama applying medicated oil on Little Arielle's neck area, hands and legs. Realised that she started have red patches on these area. Next, I saw her rubbing her eyes and her eyes were all red.

I immediately asked mama if she has anyhow given her some food to eat again and she said NO. She suspected that the rashes developed due to her rubbing her body with her left hand (where her wound is not healed). I was really worried and hope that this is really the case. I would be applying caremel lotion for her when we get home. Hopefully, that would stop the rash and itch!

Takao's Wedding

He is one of my Japanese cousin who is the same age as me. We were pretty close when young and we often play together. Finally it's his turn to get married! I'm happy for him!

We attended his wedding dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Keppel Club. It was a small dinner function for our close relatives. The food was good and Little Arielle was enjoying herself.

She got impatient after a while and I had to bring her out. She had superb memory as she knows the way back to the restaurant. How did I know? Cos I let her walk on her own and she is able to walk back the same route to our table!

Wow, hopefully this good memory would follow her as she grows up!

Jenelle's 1 Year Old Party

It's always fast for someone else's kid to be 1 years old. But it always seems ages for my own. We were invited to Jenelle's birthday party today.

Wow her birthday cake is very nice. Hmm regretted not getting such a nice one for Little Arielle when she was one. Well, nevermind, mummy shall compensate you on your next birthday! :)

Price of Milk Powder

22 Mar 2008

Happened to pop into one of the NTUC outlet and just went over to take a look at the price of milk powder. Wow realised that the price has dropped to $47. Wat seh, should be stocking up the milk powder over the next few days!

The Cough Seems to Get Worst!

Can hear Little Arielle coughing a few times even though she is already sound asleep. Oh no, seems like her cough has developed for the worst!

Need to be consistent in her medication and to give her more water! Hopefully she would wanna drink more water!

Insurance Claim

Finally met up with my insurance agent to file my claim for Little Arielle's accident insurance. This insurance is definitely a MUST for young kids as they are most prone to accidents. Other than this, medical insurance is another important one that one must get for their kids.

I have no fear as Little Arielle has been adequately insured in all aspects. But then again, I of course do not wish to file any claims for this. Sad to say, it is required this time round. Do not wish to go through it again....

My New Bolster

Mama has been complaining that Little Arielle's bolster is too short for her and has been pestering me to get new ones for her.

Finally, saw something that I liked. Here goes:

2 of her new bolsters (1 pink duckie and the other green flower). Although I din like green but there is basically not much options available and this apparently is still not too bad.

Since I din really fancy green, I shall leave the green one at mama's house and use the pink one in my own house hee hee!!

Sleeping on her tummy

Not sure if there are other mummies out there who notice the same thing as me. Found out that Little Arielle seems to enjoy sleeping on her tummy instead of her back. Was quite worried when she does this as I am afraid that she would be suffocated. Worst of all, she likes to sleep in this way in the night which it's quite impossible for me to monitor her every other minute.

Hopefully she is "old" enough to know when to turn when need be!

Cough

Oh no! Seems like Little Arielle has developed slight cough. Aiyo, this is something that I fear especially when we are going for a long trip soon. Jiat lard liaoz! Heng I got some medication from Dr Ho the other day when she went for her treatment for her scalded fingers.

Praying hard that she would be well before the trip! She would have to astain from heaty food for these 2 weeks!

Fun in the Wild!

Had a meet up with some members from the CRV club. We met up at one of the famous prata near Yio Chu Kang for tea time. XP and I only had drinks as our stomach is still full of tim sum! Had to bring Little Arielle around as she starts to fidget in my arms after her feed. So lucky of her to chance upon a kiddy ride (a cheong Hello Kitty one leh!) This is a real cheap ride. Only cost me 20 cents compared to the one near Dr Ho's clinic which costs me 50 cents. Was glad that we were there for only a short while before we start our adventure at Yishun dam and Seletar Airbase.

1st stop is at Yishun dam. This place is a happening place especially in the night. How I know? Cos this is not the first time I am here. We have passed by a few times during those days when we were still staying in Punggol. But we din really get out of the car. Today we did. Little Arielle was very excited and she was happily roaming around. Had to follow her closely else she would fall off the slope - dangerous leh! Weather was superb as the rain has just stopped. It was windy and cooling. Wow best man! Took the chance to snap some shots of Little Arielle and XP with the beautifuly background (includes sea and green)! Of course not forgetting the few CRVs that came together!

2nd stop is at Seletar Airbase. Well, this is the 2nd time I have been here. Similarly the last round we din get off the car. This time round, we did as all of us wanted to grab the fresh air around and took some nice photos before they closed off the airbase. This is to make way for the new commercial airport. Aiyah so sad! Such a scenic place is gonna be gone soon....Good things never last, so treasure them while you can!

We went further in as we wanna look for the famous Sunset Grill restaurant. Being hidden so deep in, I couldn't believe that it could attract so many customers. The owner was saying that you have to make reservations in advance if you are coming in a big group. Wat seh good business leh! We dun have the intention to eat there today. Basically to check out the place and to snap some pics!

Little Arielle was very happy as she had the whole area for her to run about. The air is good and the place is breathtaking. Wow, what a good way to spend Good Friday!

Enjoy the pics....

Not Eating Porridge Again??

*Little Arielle's battery is flat, hee hee!* - Uploaded on 29 Mar 08

Had to find some place to curb our hunger pangs. XP and I wasn't really hungry but we can still eat a bit. They have decided to have dinner at this Korean Restaurant called Han Sang Korean Family Restuarant located at Novena Square 2. It is situated at the 3rd level and this level is specially dedicated for Korean stuff!

Just nice to feed Little Arielle with her porridge while we waited for our food. Who knows this naughty one simply refuses to eat. She was only willing to eat half of it and starting spilting out the porridge when I continued feeding her. Was so frustrated and decided not to give her anymore. Wonder if it is because she is also as full as us??

*XP feeding porridge!* - Uploaded on 29 Mar 08

Since she is not eating, gotta find something for her to do so that she can sit still in her high chair. Asked for a bowl and spoon and put some food into her bowl. Hee hee Little Arielle starts to feed herself and she managed to scoup the food using her spoon and placed it in her mouth! Another development discovered!

Had our buffet tim sum at Orient Ocean Restaurant which is located in Hotel Miramar. Made Little Arielle sit between her gong gong and po po. Hee hee so that I can eat in peace for a moment. She was more obedient today. Ate watever her gong gong feed her. Hmm probably her appetite is better with her gong gong around!
