I'm supposed to go down to Precious Thots this evening to pay for her bear bear that I have reserved. Alamak, who knows last minute gotta OT cos got urgent request to be checked out. In the end, by the time I left office, it is already 7.30pm.
Totally forgotten about this matter until I was at home at 9pm+ after eating dinner at Swee Choon.
Aiyah hope that they would hold on to my item leh. Think I can only make a trip down on Monday to do the collection!
XP needs to attend a function this evening and he is unable to send me back to mama's house. He mentioned that he would pick me up at my mama's house after his function which might be quite late.
I din wanna wait at mama's house and so decided to pick Little Arielle up on my own after my course.
Luckily the course ended at 5pm so I actually reached my mama's house before 6pm. Little Arielle was already ready to go. Before going off, was checking with mama if she has made her wear her training pants and she said yes. However, most of the time, Little Arielle refused to say when she wants to pee. I guessed she needs more time but was glad that I bought the training pants for her to try on.
Got her things and made her put on her shoes cos I din wanna be seen carrying her all the time.
During the bus journey, she was pretty excited. It was a double decked bus and we sat on the second floor. She was still quite okie for the first few minutes. Subsequently, she starts fidgeting around. Managed to get her to sit down properly and that is when she started bombarding me with the same question,"What's that, What's that?" Aiyo, after answering her, she still asked me the same question. Buay tahan!
Luckily, that died down after a while. Thank god that the journey wasn't too long and she was preoccupied with the scenery outside. So all in all, I still managed to have some peace for a few moments.
Got home at about 7pm. After a while, she started to get cranky. Kept looking for XP which I told her that he is not home yet. Played with her flashcards and threw everything on the floor. Got so pissed off with the mess and asked her to pack up. She refused to do so and started crying. I was really irritated. Probably also because I am feeling the heat in the room and the fan din seems to help.
Luckily, XP was home at about 7.45pm. Bought durian back and that became my dinner. Little Arielle was cranky again. Wanna hold it by herself and yet dun noe how to eat properly. Kept biting on the seed and we were afraid that she would swallow it. XP was really patient with her nonsense even though he wasn't feeling quite well. I already surrender my white flag!
After that, he went to bed again and I am stuck with this naughty one alone! Got so pissed with her behaviour that she kena a few light strokes of the cane from me. This thick skinned gal doesn't seems to feel anything. XP woke up and quickly got her to come over to my side so that I can get her changed. She did and after which, played around, walked around, kpo around until I off the lights at 11pm then she was willing to sleep! Vomit bloodz....
After close monitoring, the report given by mama is that Little Arielle is fine and well. Checked on her stools this evening and there was nothing found. Dun noe if I should be happy or sad about it.
Anyway she is still as active and naughty as ever! Will just monitor her closely for the next few days and crossing my fingers that everything would be fine....
I was surfing the net and XP was already fast asleep. Little Arielle was playing by herself on the bed. Suddenly, I heard her coughing badly and she showed signs that she wanna puke. Quickly carried her off the bed and she vomitted some of her milk out.
She seems to have choked on something but we din know what she has put into her mouth.
After clearing up the mess, I kept asking her if she has swallowed something. She either tells me that she has eaten a sweet or she kept repeating,"Pink colour, pink colour"
I did a search on the bed and din notice anything possible that can be swallowed. Moreover, her toys are not that small to be swallowen.
Quite worried if she has really eaten something down. Will get mama to check on her condition and stools tomorrow. Hopefully everything is fine....
It has been a long time since I last blogged frequently. Well, I'm back and I will clear up the "backlog" asap!
We had a full day session today and wanna know what we have done? Well, we had Bah Kut Teh in Malaysia.
It was one of the planned item in our roadtrip over the past weekend. However, we somehow just missed it probably because it was too early and the roads were still dark. As such, we din manage to have a taste of this recommended Bah Kut Teh. All of them were regretting over it especially XP. As such, he was the first to suggest today's session! 4 other car owners supported his suggestion.
So here we go....
Although it was fun to have such events, what is dreadful is that you gotta wake up damn early lor. Got up at 4.30am partly because I kept hearing Little Arielle's cough. She has not been feeling well since Thursday. Gave her medication but her cough has yet to fully recover. XP initially wanted to postpone this event and even thought of just cancelling it. Else the next possible arrangement is to leave Little Arielle with mama. Well, I wasn't for any of his idea lor. So in the end, we decided to just proceed since everything has already been fixed with the others!
The meet up point was at one of the CRV club members' house located at Bukit Timah. Wow, though the place is quite small but it just gave one a cosy feeling. Hmm, hopefully my new apartment would be able to provide such feel too cos it's also small lor!
Including us, there were a total of 5 cars ready for yet another fantastic food expedition! All of us were punctual and we left his house at about 6am. The jam at the 2nd link wasn't that bad and what was so 巧 was that I actually saw Wendy Koh and family while queuing at the checkpoint! This is probably what we call 缘份! They were on their way to Malacca for a 3D2N stay! Enjoy!
We continued our journey to Mawai. That's the place where the nice Bah Kut Teh is located. They marked it down on their GPS and we made sure that we won't miss it this time round. After about an hour's drive, we reached our destination. I had a chance to take a short nap in the car as Little Arielle was fast asleep too. She woke up the moment we reached. The timing was perfect!
We were all excited and definitely hungry. Quickly placed our orders and luckily they were fast enough to serve our food. Yummy yum yum! 是好吃的 lor! Food was served in traditional claypot and you can see the soup boiling when they served it! Splendid! The effort was worth the while to come and eat it. Best of all, it's cheap lor! So many dishes and per person only need to pay $6+ Sin. Good thing that they have baby chair so Little Arielle was busi enjoying her white rice. Not that we ill-treat her but she just has love for white rice only.
After filling our stomach, we took more pics with the cars and thereafter we decided to visit one of the waterfalls since we are already in Malaysia. Along the way, we stopped by the roadside and took pic of the palm oil plantation and rubber plantation. The rubber plantation was a killer cos there were so many mosquitoes that we were attacked once we were at the entrance. Luckily they only attack the adults and Little Arielle was spared. A small one was happily sucking XP's blood on his face and hahaha, I took the chance and gave him a tight slap. So bad of me hor hee! Anyway, we quickly left that place and proceed to Kota Tinggi Waterfall.
Hmm, these waterfall sure earn $$ for Malaysia. 1 entry costs us RM23. RM5 for car, RM9 per adult. Little Arielle does not need to pay. But at least, this one is much cleaner compared to the one that we went last week. As usual, she was all excited to have a chance to play with water. The cooling water from the waterfall is really shiok. Best of all, it was cloudy and windy!
Our last destination for the day would be lunch at Todak, a kelong-styled seafood restaurant that oversees Sembangwan Shipyard. The last round we went was for dinner and the nightview was mesmerising. Anyway, it's a different feel today. The tide was low and the sun was bright and sunny. We had a fantastic lunch! The seafood was really fresh and the way it was cooked was really tasty. $15 Sin per pax for about 7-8 dishes + drinks. Where can you find leh....We would be back for more!!
I was on leave today and XP was going for his golf tournament. As such, I would be in charge of Little Arielle. As it's mama's birthday today, I din wanna bring Little Arielle over cos the tendancy would be she would be the one taking care of her.
I got up earlier than her and had some time to do my own things. Shortly after she woke up, I was busi like a bee. Sent all the dirty laundry for a good wash cos I have not been washing for a while cos the past few weekends has been packed with activities. Thereafter, gotta feed her milk, bath her and entertain her too. It was home alone for us cos my PIL went out for their usual morning exercise. So there was no one else to assist. Luckily, XP bought breakfast for me before he went out for his golf game. So sweet of him cos he must have gone to buy it at around 5am - 6am. If not for his breakfast, I think I would have died of hunger cos no time to go and buy food!
Finally, managed to rock Little Arielle to sleep in her 摇篮. Thought that I would have at least 2-3 hours of peace. I estimated XP would be back by then so he would have gotten me my lunch and I can enjoy it while Little Arielle is still in dreamland. Who knows, an hour later, I hear Little Arielle's cries! Quickly rushed over to take a look at what has happened and I was shocked to see traces of "fermented milk" on the floor. I was stunned to see Little Arielle's mouth, neck and ears all covered with "fermenented milk" What biangz! She VOMITTED leh!
I can tell you at that moment, I really dun know what to do lor. Her beloved bear bear and her bolster all kena liaoz! She was scared stiff and she just went on crying out for me! XP came back in the nick of time! Else I would really be at a loss. Got her bolster and bear bear out of the 摇篮 first followed by Little Arielle. Immediately brought her to the bathroom and XP would bath for her. Luckily my PIL was there to assist in the cleaning up of her puke on the floor. Sent all items into the washing machine. I was already tired, hunger and frustrated! Little Arielle kept crying throughout her bath and after she was out, she continued to do so. Worst still, after dressing her up, she kept clinging on to me like super glue. Gave me no chance to eat my lunch. Took me a while to pass her over to XP. That was already 3pm+.
Finally settled her down and in a while's time, we gotta get ready to pick my parents up for mama's birthday celebration! Alamak, leaves me no time to take a breather leh....What a day....
Aiyah, so upset leh! That silly person in charge din reply my email leh! Wondering if I should shoot another one or wait for another few days for her to revert?
Just anxious to find out if there are still stock for Little Arielle's bear bear....
As promised, the first task when we reached mama's house is to check out the gift shop at Century Square for Little Arielle's teddy bear. XP remembered that he saw that gift shop selling the same exact teddy bear. However, upon reaching the store, we were disappointed that they have sold all of that bear. Worst still, they are not bringing that in. That sickening store assistant seems to be driving us away. Got so annoyed with her!!
Anyway, since that store do not have what we want, we decided to pop over to the gift shops in Tampines Mall to try our luck. Including the store in Century Square, we searched through 4 - 5 stores but still failed to get the same bear bear. Hmm, Little Arielle must have been disappointed!
Managed to obtain the email address of the person in charge of the brand TY. This is the brand of the bear bear that I am looking for. Have just emailed to the person and hopefully, she still has stock for this particular design.

For those who knows where I can get this bear, please inform me immediately!
Was preparing the long bath for Little Arielle to dip in. The foam was already in formation.
*The bubble bath* - Uploaded on 27 Oct 2008
I was out of the bathroom doing something when I suddenly realised that Little Arielle is not in sight. I quickly rushed to the bathroom and realised that she was bathing her bear bear. Win liaoz lor. It was all drenched and soaked to the skin with bath foam.
*The drenched bear bear* - Uploaded on 27 Oct 2008
So I quickly snatched the bear bear from her and tried to wring it dry. But there was too much water in it. So I just left it sitting on the sink to let the water drip off. Meanwhile, XP would be bathing her and at the same time playing with her in the bathtub. One of the few chances that she can play in bathtub and especially with foam. As such, she is exceptionally happy!

After her bath, we got ready to meet the others for dinner. So XP found a lamp and placed her bear bear on top of it cos we were hoping that the heat from the lamp will dry her bear bear faster. We left for dinner after that has been taken care of. We wanted to charter for a van to bring us to the nearby pasar malam for dinner and probably some shopping. In the end, the hotel staff din manage to get any van for us. To make things worst, it suddenly rained very heavily. As such, all of us were stuck at the hotel. The contingency plan is to have dinner at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. They were serving ala carte buffet and we were happily eating and chatting away.
About 1 - 2 hours later, we were done with our food and returned back to our hotel room. While I was closing the door, I heard XP saying,"Oh Shit!" I quickly went over and realised that her bear bear's bum was burnt! Blur XP din realise that her bear bear's tail kena the tip of the light bulb. The heat was too hot that it burnt her bear! The beads in her bear melted into gel form and it was really hot. After it was left to cool, the gel solidified and became a lump. It just looks like a human who had a real big and painful pile! The burnt smell was also there. Luckily we were back from dinner. Else, we might have burnt the whole room down or even short-circuit the whole hotel. Little Arielle kept saying,"臭臭, 臭臭"
Win liaoz lor! Gotta starts scouting around for her new bear bear!

It was indeed sweet of Ma Lay to remember Little Arielle even though she was overseas. Hmm, why do I say that leh? Cos she bought a real sweet hairband for her! It's Little Arielle's favourite colour with nice little flowers on it. Beautiful!
Little Arielle's eyes were sharp. She saw it in my bag even though I got a lot of other things in it. She quickly pulled it out from my bag and happily put it on!

Here's something that Little Arielle wanna say to you! - Uploaded on 02 Nov 2008
XP has finally found a car seat that he likes and feels that it is suitable for Little Arielle. Oh, that means that her infant seat would be replaced. This infant seat was given by my good colleague - Stephanie. We did some repair to it (replacing the sponge in the seat) as it has already worn out. I remembered we paid about $5 for it. Other than that, the seat was still in good working condition.
How time flies, the seat has been with Little Arielle for 2 years! Well, she was supposed to "upgrade" to the child seat long ago but because she was most of the time sitting on my lap instead of being in her infant seat, we delayed getting a new one for her. It was because of the upcoming Malaysia drive that kinda of "forced" XP to get one for her.
So long, infant seat! Would miss you and can't bear to have you replaced! Until I have a second one (hopefully), else you would probably have to stay in the storeroom for a while! Hope we can see you soon....

I have registered myself, papa and mama for today's health screening. Missed doing so for them last year cos I din know that they allow immediate family members of staff to be included in the screening. Anyway, nevermind, at least I managed to do it for them this year.
I registered late. As such, I din managed to get the 1st slot for the screen which is at 8.30am. In the end, what I got was at 10am. As both my parents would be going for the screen, it would be best if I could have the earliest slot cos Little Arielle would be following us around.
In the end, what I have decided to do is to pick them up from Tampines at the usual time that I send Little Arielle over. Proceed to office first and we will try our luck to see if they are able to accomodate us if we go at 8.30am. In this way, my parents dun have to travel down to my office on their own. But, if they are unable to accomodate us, then they would have to roam around until the appointed time. I have already thought of using Little Arielle as the shield to include us in if they really dun allow.
We reached office at about 7.15am. Too bad we were not allowed to eat cos we gotta fast for the health screening. Else, it would be easier to pass time. So all of us just stayed put in XP's office first until it's almost time for us to go down.
So while waiting, I just took the chance to take some pic! Hahaha, like that also can hor!
It's almost 8.15am. I decided to go down earlier so that got better chance of including us in. Wat biangz, got a shock when I reached the basement cos there were already tons of people sitting in the queue. In the end, I found out that the earliest time slot is actually 8am and not 8.30am. Alamak, blur me leh! If I knew, then we wouldn't have wasted so much time waiting in XP's office liaoz!
Forget it, what's done cannot be undone! So I just gave everything to the person in charge for registration. Hengz ah, they do take us in even though we are scheduled for a later time slot and that also means that we can take our breakfast earlier hee!
The checks consist of a few stations. First, we would be tested on our eyesight. Thereafter, we would register to indicate whether we want to just take the complimentary health screen or we would like to pay to get a more thorough check-up. Daddy took the middle package and mama took the executive one. As for me, I just took the complimentary package. Thereafter, we were required to take our blood pressure, weight and height. Daddy and mama proceed to collect their urine for the test while I continued with the blood extraction for the blood test.
While doing all these, we still gotta keep our eyes on Little Arielle. I just let her roam about since everyone around is 自己人 and so it is relatively safe. Some colleagues even assist to play with her and took care of her while we were engaged. I realised that she is the only kid around my parents were the only outsider. Some of them din even know that they can include their parents in. Hee, the mistake that I made last year - din check properly. Thanks to all who have helped in entertaining Little Arielle that made the whole health screening a smooth one for us!
After the screen, there was light refreshments provided. Little Arielle was also seen busi eating and carrying the food around. She was well-liked by everyone and they all love to give her things. Buay tahan!
Check out the pic and we would be back next year for the screen! - Uploaded on 26 Oct 2008
How shiok to be staying in a hotel! Dun have to care about the place being messy cos there would be someone to clear up for you. Best of all, you can dip in the bathtub for as long as you like!
But sad to say, this treatment ain't gonna last for long cos we would be checking out today.
Nevermind, let's make full use of today and we will be back for more!
We had MacDonald breakfast and it's Little Arielle's first time eating Mac kids' breakfast meal. Hmm, but seems like she doesn't really like the taste of hotcakes. Hee hee, perhaps it's because I din put any of the honey syrup or butter for her. So too bad, she can just play with her toy and balloon.
Since it's our last day at Ritz, we wanna fully ultilise the room and thus, we went back to the hotel after breakfast. Before going up to the room, we went to the front desk to enquire on the check-out time. We wanted to extend cos we wanna finish watching F1 before going home. However, we received news that they are running full house and as such, the latest time for us to check out would be 1pm.
The day that we have been looking forward to has arrived!! It's the Ritz Carlton Stay that has been on my mind for the longest time! Thanks to the Marriott talk that we attended which made the stay today possible! Best of all, it's complimentary!!
Thinking back, it has been a good 5 years + since we last stayed in Ritz Carlton. The reason why we stayed in Ritz Carlton 5 years ago is because we had our ROM ceremony there and they gave us a complimentary stay in their bridal suite. Wow, that was the time I fell deeply in love with their bathtub! You will know what I mean when you check out the pics later!
Anyway, going back to our stay. We were straight to Ritz after we had our breakfast at about 11am+. Only packed our stuff this very morning at about 9am+. Was too lazy to get it done last night. Think the usual check in time is about 3pm but luckily they have rooms for us and so, we managed to check in at about 12pm. We were given a room at the 24th floor. That sounds shiok as the highest floor is 31st. So ours is considered as high.
Little Arielle was more excited than anyone else! Was really affected by her excitement and felt very excited too! Once we were out of the lift, she saw the floating platform and was very happy. We directed her to the room and she was running around happily once she got in.
She went around checking out the bed, the sofa, the view from the window and of course the bathroom too. Took quite a number of pics and thereafter decided to take a nap before we wake up for our "late lunch". As we were given a king sized bed, it was so spacious for the 3 of us compared to our own queen bed where I was always kicked by Little Arielle! The feeling is just wonderful! But the unfortunate thing was that the bed was so high that Little Arielle fell as she was coming down from the bed. Luckily it was not a major one as she just lost her balance when coming down. In any case, this made us want to get a baby cot for her.
We woke up and were out of the room at about 3pm+. Went to the front desk first to get them to arrange for her baby cot while we were out. XP told the staff about her falling off the bed. The staff was nice to ask if we require any further assistance.
The first shopping mall that we went in was Marina Square. Din like the place eversince it changed image. Anyway, saw Kenny Rogers - one of the restaurant that I have not patronised for a long time. So XP decided to go there for our lunch. Wow, they have changed to table order instead of the previous self-serve arrangement. Their side dishes were served in separate bowls instead of having everything in 1 plate. But, what is bad is that they do not serve water. Well, it was still a satisfying lunch. After lunch, we walked around while waiting for XP's friend to arrive. He's supposed to check in to Ritz as well!
We went from Marina Square to Suntec and met up his friend at the Burger King in Suntec. That was about 7pm+. Forced ourselves to eat a bit cos we will not be coming out for dinner later. XP bought the kids meal so that Little Arielle will get to have a toy. She was happy playing with the King hat!
Decided to get some drinks from 7-11 before we head back to our hotel room. While I was busy choosing my items, I din notice what Little Arielle was doing. When I was looking around for her, I saw her taking sweets from one of the containers and she immediately popped it into her mouth when she saw me coming. Those sweets are the ones that you pay based on their weight. She was lucky that we were not asked to pay for it. Guessed what, moments later, she spat everything out! She stuffed a total of 4 pieces of sweets in her mouth. No wonder her mouth couldn't take it! Made me busy by having to clean up her mess!! Arrgghhhh!!!
Was back at the room at about 8pm+. Saw a table with 4 men sitting right outside our room. Din feel at ease with these men there and din know why they were there in the first place. Best of all, the room door wasn't soundproof and we can hear them talking and laughing away.
The baby cot was already prepared for Little Arielle when we came back. It was nice of them to include a pack of Pigeon's travel pack which consists of powder, shampoo, soap, bath lotion and baby lotion. This pack easily cost more than $15 cos we bought the same pack early in this year when we went for our Japan tour! Little Arielle was excited again cos she thought that there would be a baby sleeping in the cot and kept asking me baby where?? Haha, she is the baby lor! Placed her inside and she was having fun in it. Hopefully she would still like it cos I would fix up her baby cot in our new house! Was peeping over at the cot when something sharp caught my eyes! It's a staple bullet! Got the shock of my life as I was surprised to find that in the cot. Quickly removed it from her cot and went through a thorough check to ensure that there is only 1. Was lucky that Little Arielle wasn't pricked by it. Wanted to make a complain but XP said forget it.
Was lazing around but got annoyed by those guys outside our room. Seems like they would be there indefinitely! Got irritated and decided to call the front desk to ask them the reason for their existence! Was surprised that the staff said they din know why were there men outside my room and said that they would get someone to check it out. Moments later, our doorbell rang. XP opened the door and these 2 hotel staff requested to speak to him in private and wanted to come into the room. Wat seh, sounds serious leh!! Finally, gotta know that there is a foreign minister staying right opposite our room and these men outside were his bodyguards. No wonder, they have been there for the whole day. Okie lor, we got extra security!
Went for a good hot bath and was enjoying the beautiful night view from the bathroom window. So shiok until I forgot to take pic of the night scene. Hmm, does it mean it is reserved for my next stay here hahahaha!
Thought that Little Arielle would be sleeping after my bath but I was wrong. She stood up immediately when she saw me walking out of the bathroom. It was only when I was lying next to her that she would fall asleep. After a while, XP carried her to her cot. We watched the silly Amazing Race Asia and went to sleep after that cannot make it show! What a waste of my time!
We have already picked Little Arielle up and were on the way back home. Who knows, half way through the journey, XP was being "summoned" back to office. He had wanted to send us back first but thought that since we have yet to reach home, might as well follow him to office so that he don't have to ferry us here and there. Moreover, he mentioned that he would not be staying long in office.
As such, both of us followed him. Little Arielle was very excited and kept running here and there. Only XP's boss and one of his colleague were around cos it was already 6pm+ when we reached.

As per what XP said, he din have to stay long. Therefore, we left his office for dinner at about 7pm+.
It's Little Arielle on the line asking me for presents. After talking for a while, she suddenly broke into tears and kept asking for me! She said,"I want mummy". Aiyo, she sounded so pitiful over the phone leh. Next she said she wanna follow mummy and dun wan her po po! Arrghhh, at that moment, I feel like being a SAHM!!
The gift has finally arrived! It has travelled miles from Australia to Singapore! It has contained the sincerity from Mama Tong! She told me some time ago that she would be sending Little Arielle's birthday gift from Australia. Already told her that it's okie cos she would be busy settling down in a foreign country and postal charges would be expensive too.
However, she still insist to have it sent out. Have waited for the item for the past few days as I was afraid that it might be lost in the mail. Finally, the item came today!

Thanks for the kind gesture! Really touched by it....
Hello Baby Lucas! Welcome to this world on 01 Oct - Children's Day! This is supposed to be my EDD 2 years ago but Little Arielle din like this date and prefers to come out on 5th Oct instead. Probably she knows that her daddy loves this number so much! Which is why eversince then, she has been her daddy's 掌上明珠! Okie, back to Baby Lucas....
After returning home from Little Arielle's jab, I quickly got mama to feed her porridge while I prepared her stuff as we would be meeting Joanne at 1.30pm. The meet is to visit Astin and Baby Lucas! After her porridge, she had a dose of the fever medication so that she would not develop fever after her jab. Got her changed and managed to reach MRT station on time.
Finally reached Astin's place at 2pm+. Little Arielle was still quite well-behaved in the train. Havent seen newborns for a while. So cute leh! And they look so small! Check out the pics!

Little Arielle was very excited about the baby and kept wanting to come close to him. Aiyo, so afraid that she would hurt him leh! But am glad that she likes little kids. So I guessed she won't have trouble mixing around when she goes to school!

Since this is Little Arielle's first visit to Astin's house, she must poo there lor. So I cleaned her up, fed her milk and thereafter we left. Stopped over at MacDonald as I was too hungry. After a quick bite, we were on our way home. Little Arielle was so tired that it din take long before she fell asleep in my arms without me knowing. Was curious why she suddenly stopped moving around and then found out that she was fast asleep!

Finally it's time for Little Arielle to take this important jab. Hmm, since it is important, how come I have waited this long leh? Bo pian leh! This sickening jab is damn expensive! Total damage today is $157. Little Arielle only requires 1 jab if she takes it after 24 months. So I purposely let her take the jab today hee! Any earlier would means the child would have to take more than 1 jab. So you can imagine how costly it can get. Pity those children in the poor families. How would they be able to afford such an expensive jab? Government should do something to bring down the cost leh! Since they always say that it is such an important jab! Anyway talk so much liaoz still havent say what jab is it hor. Some of you would have guessed it. It's pneumococcal. One reason for delaying the jab is also because Little Arielle have yet to attend school and so the risk of getting it would be lower than other kids. Anyway, since she has taken it now, it's another load off my mind. Next jab to target would be chickenpox.
Okie, now to talk about the encounter at the clinic:
XP drove us to my mama's house as per the usual time. Took a short nap before waking up for breakfast and thereafter we headed straight to the clinic. Reached there at about 9.05am and there were already 3 persons in front of us. Oh no. Nevermind then! Dr Ho was still not in at 9.45am and those 3 in front of us were all waiting for her. Best of all, along came in a few newborns! Best liaoz! It's gonna be a long wait. Took her weight which is 11kg, height at 84cm and width of head is 48.5cm. At last, she is showing signs of growth. Finally, she arrived at 10am and she immediately called the 1st number. While waiting, we saw Gearoid and Marcus. What a coincidence! Not bad, Gearoid can still remember my name and my looks hahaha! Anyway, we got in at 11am and here's what happen in the clinic:

Dr Ho said that I was very bad to let Little Arielle took the injection straight after her birthday. First thing that Little Arielle asked from Dr Ho is sweets! She was given a pneumococcal bear probably for taking this jab hee! Hmm, I wonder anymore bears if she's gonna take her chickenpox jab? Hahaha!
XP and I went over to mama's place at about 6pm+. Little Arielle was already at their house cos she din wanna come along with us after the brunch session.
We went to collect her birthday cake at Century Square and bought some drinks back. WJ was already impatient cos he needs to rush off for another appointment.
Little Arielle was excited when I opened up and showed her her birthday cake. Was quite disappointed as I thought that the cake would be hand-drawn instead of it being like a sticker form. Anyway, if XP agrees, we would hold a birthday cum housewarming session when Little Arielle is 3. Hopefully he would agree cos I would be able to get a bigger and nicer cake for Little Arielle. Well, back to the cake. Other than it being not really that nice in appearance, find that the taste is not fantastic too. The person still asked me to add $6 to have it as a truffle. It meant one layer of cake and one layer of chocolate. Imagine if I din pay more, the taste could be worst! Anyway, lesson learnt!

After cleaning up the messy gal, we headed off to Jasmine's house in Punggol where I used to stay there. Kinda of miss those days that I was staying there. Well, unknowingly, we have been staying in my PIL's place for 1 year. Soon, we would be moving out to our new house. Wonder what would the feeling be like?
Well, back to Ocean's birthday bash! Saw some ex and existing colleagues there. Ate our food, chit chat with one another while waiting for the cake cutting ceremony. Jasmine bought a real cute cake for Ocean. It's a pic of a jumper suit! Everyone gathered, sang the birthday song and cut the cake. We went off after eating a piece of it. Happy birthday once again! May you grow up healthy and strong!
It was a pleasant surprise early in the morning when Doris handled Little Arielle's birthday present to me. She did mention it sometime ago that she got a gift for her but it simply slipped off my mind. Hahaha, the first gift actually came from an outsider!
Was really happy to receive something for her even though the gift is not for me! Will keep the item until her birthday before we open all her presents!
