The Power of Youtube
The advancement in technologies really made things easy for everyone! One does not need to spend much on DVDs/VCDs and they can just watch it for free in Youtube! Although not everything is available but some of the common video clips like Sesame Street, Doraemon, Smurfs, Tome & Jerry....are available.
I played Sesame Street for Little Arielle to watch and she was enjoying it! However, good times never stay long. Her patience lasted less than 15 minutes and she can't wait to get off her high-chair!

I Hate Mozzies!
I think this insect is the most irritating and detestable one in this whole wide world! It just sucked Little Arielle's blood and left her 5 bites!
3 on her right arm, 1 on her neck and 1 on her right cheek! All courtesy from 1 mosquito! And mama din manage to smack this culprit to death! Argghhh!
Came back and quickly applied the Papaw cream for her. Hopefully it would be better tomorrow!

Haha, true enough, mama strike the first prize and she got $2k. She fulfilled her promise and bought her the bolster today!

No More Bangkok Trip?
Heard the news last night that the riot situation in Bangkok was getting worst. We were not that concerned until we read the news today that their airport was forced to close down as it was bombed by those people there!
Really xianz lor! They really have nothing better to do leh! Such action will actually affect their tourism business but I guessed they just can't be bothered. One of my colleauge who is supposed to fly over next week for holiday has already cancelled her trip. Hopefully the situation will be better when it's my turn to go over.
XP has already decided that if it is really not very promising, we will proceed without Little Arielle.
Good luck man!

I Give Up!
I shall hand the post of discplinary master to XP. I really cannot keep Little Arielle under control. Perhaps I am really a failure in this regard. She only likes XP and listens to him. *sob**sob*

Learning to Keep
After a while of repeating myself, Little Arielle finally decided not to let my words fall on deaf ears. She immediately kept her toys when I asked her to do so. She did it within a span of few minutes and did not dilly dally at all.
Well, hopefully she would be so prompt in the future tasks that are gonna be assigned to her! This would not cause distress to my voice!

Reading Alone
It's a good habit for kids to pick up reading and I sure hope Little Arielle is one of those kids who love to read.
This evening, she was seen flipping story books quietly on her own.

Secured the Dress!
Got good news early in the morning! That BP organiser managed to convince the other customer to get the bigger size dress and gave up the other one for me!
Hee hee, can't wait to receive it! Opps, another collection to Little Arielle's clothes. She now got more clothes than me lor!

So Angry!!
There was this BP today and I was interested in one of the dress and wanted to get that for Little Arielle. As I was uncertain about the length of the dress, I asked the organiser and at the same time, I got her to reserve 2 sizes for me as there are only 1 piece per size. Before she replied, I already logged off as I need to travel back to HQ from TMO.
When I reached office, I quickly logged on to check her reply and was very mad when I saw that she has confirmed orders for 2 other customers who were behind me. These 2 customers ordered the same design and size as me! So, in other words, I am left with nothing even though I am the first person to get her to reseve.
What was more maddening was that she subsequently keyed in a post indicating that no reservations is allowed! Well, this was not even indicated in the T&C lor. If she suddenly decided to add this in, she should have the courtesy to let me know first. It's not as if I did not reply then of course, it would be up to her to decide who she should be allocating the dress to.
I was so mad that I immediately emailed to "confront" her. Here's what I wrote:
"Hi,I was very upset when I realised that my order is nottaken in.I was the first one to ask about the dresses and justbecause during that time I din manage to reply (as Iwas travelling from my 1st office to my 2nd office),you decided to confirm someone else's order.The fact that I got you to reserve the item for memeans that I am really very interested. If I were touse the word confirm instead of reserve and later ondrop the order, it is also not fair to the organiser.As such, I think it is not right for you to take onsomeone else's order before you check further with me. The reason why I got you to reserve is also because Iknow that there is only limited pieces per size. If Ireserve and subsequently did not confirm or makepayment, it is then right for the item to be releasedto the next party.I just felt very mad about this being handled. So ifthe person who confirmed and ended up din makepayment, so it's also no use saying that they haveconfirmed right!"
This is her reply:
"Hi Cynthia, I'm really sorry about this. You're right about the confirmation part. Maybe I should have said something about the reservation part at the beginning. But because I'm not sure when you can confirm which size are u taking and I'm not sure when can you get back to me, so when the other party say she will take the dress, I just confirm her order. So sorry about that and making you so upset. Can I call my supplier again to check with her whether does she have this dress size again then I get back to you? So sorry about the whole thing.. My first time doing a BP.. My so-called 1st BP oso didn succeed. Haiz.. So this clearance sale.. Will get back to you again can?"
So I said:
"Hi,Appreciate you doing so. Probably in future what youcan do is to state a deadline. Most BP organiserswould indicate that they would hold the reserve itemfor either 1 or 2 days and thereafter, if there is nopayment made, they would then release to the nextcustomer. I guess this would be fair to all parties.Anyway, what is the next available size for thisdesign? And meanwhile please help me to check withyour supplier if they have the sizes. Thanks"
And her reply:
"Hi Cynthia, Yah..gonna learn from my this mistake ar! I have checked with my supplier and she does not have size 7 anymore. *Sigh* But I have checked with the other mummy if she's willing to change 1 size bigger for her purchase (she took size 7 and 9). Hopefully if the measurements for the bigger sizes are ok for her..I still can keep size 7 for you. Reli sorry for this matter.. And making you so upset.. I will keep you informed once the other mummy replied me? "
Anyway, my last reply to her was to apologize for being so harsh and also to thank her for the effort in searching for the dress. I do hope that she can bring me some good news!

Know the Difference!
Little Arielle was asking for her bear bear and I gave her the new bear bear. She can turn round and say that this is not the one and she wants the other one.
Not bad leh, she can tell the difference. Probably because her old one is black and the new one is too white hee!

Cranky Gal
Little Arielle was still sleeping when we reached mama's house. I din know that she was still sleeping and so was calling her out from the gate. Moments later, I heard her cries. Mama popped out from the kitchen and told us that she was taking her nap.
When I entered into the house, she continued with her cries. She refused to be carried by me. Neither does she wants to be carried by XP. Aiyo, dun noe what she wants leh. Kept clinging on to her po po but yet din want to take a porridge.
It was only when her gong gong came back that made things better. Gong gong, you are still the man!

A Moment of Peace
XP and Jerome went to watch Barclays Singapore at Sentosa. I gave up the chance to go cos I know nothing about golf. The initial arrangement is for both of us to attend together and Little Arielle would be at mama's house. Last minute, I decided not to go. However, the plan for Little Arielle to go to mama's house remain as I just feel like having a few hours of peace.
In the end, these few hours was still spent on her blog!

Little Arielle was very cute this evening. Got her milk prepared and kept asking her to go up the bed to drink. She kept saying "臭臭" and refused to go up. When I asked her if she has urrgg, she said yes! No wonder she dun wanna go up. Not bad hor, she is a clean one!

Darkened Skin
Although Little Arielle's itch and blister are all gone, can see that her "wound" is in the recovery stage. However, what is upsetting is that the area where she was bitten now becomes dark. See pic for understanding:
*The ugly darkened skin* - Uploaded on 16 Nov 2008
Well, I do hope that as time goes by, her darkened skin will be back to normal. Probably gotta be "hardworking" enough to apply moisturiser for her daily.

The Irritating Whine!
Dun noe where did Little Arielle learn how to whine or it is something that does not require learning. Whatever the case may be, it just simply irritating. This is especially so when we were all tired after work and she likes to kick up a fuss in the car cos she doesn't like to be confined in her car seat.
Back at home she continued with her whine for no apparent reason! Aiyah, I'm going crazy liaoz!

Arrival of Lucas Papaw Ointment
The ointment that I have ordered few days ago has arrived today. Have yet to test out it's effectiveness. According to the seller, it's supposed to curb itch and reduce swell.
Hopefully it really works cos I realised that it is actually not very big. The picture on the website looks really big but it's actually quite a small tube, weighing only 25g and cost me $9 per tube. Well, still cheaper than Dr Ho's cream which is $10 for only 5g!

Speedy Recovery
Wow, the medication given by Dr Ho is really powerful! No wonder she says we can only apply on her thigh 2 times a day. After a day's use, her swell went down significantly. There is no sight of any blister as it has already dried up. Think I will just let her apply one more day before switching it to the milder cream as advised by Dr Ho. Else, if she keep on applying the strong cream, it would be bad on her skin!
Just when her skin is recovering, this careless gal accidentally hit her right side of her face against the table. Luckily the edge is round, else she would suffer another injury! Aiyo, accident prone siaz!

Another Long Wait
Although Little Arielle's leg is slightly better after we have applied medication (got from Dr Ho from the previous bite) for her, XP still wanna pay Dr Ho a visit to make sure that her leg is really okie.
We got there at about 9.15am and there was no one in the queue. XP dropped me off at the clinic first before picking my mama up. Little Arielle and I sat on the step outside the clinic.
Along came a Malay woman and just walked into the clinic. I got mad and I followed behind her. She was given queue number 1. I was really pissed! She din even bother to ask if I am in the queue and just walked in like that! Sickening nurses inside the clinic also din bother to ask if I wanna take a number first!!
Luckily I was also given queue number 1 cos the doctor that I am seeing is different from hers. Best of all, I was happy to see that she was still in the queue when I had finished seeing the doc! Hee hee, her doctor actually came in earlier than Dr Ho.

Running around the clinic - Uploaded on 16 Nov 2008
Anyway, back to the story. Dr Ho was very late today. So much so that XP and I were already hungry! So took the chance to tell XP, so you know how miserable it is when my mama and I were waiting in the queue. Little Arielle took her weight which is 11.2kg and she is 86 cm. Finally, Dr Ho appeared at about 10.30am.
The only conclusion that Dr Ho gave is that she must have been bitten by some insects. It could be ants, mosquitoes or some bugs. She gave a stronger cream for her right thight as the bite was really bad. She also gave a mild cream for other parts of her leg. Her nurse was also shocked to see the swell. Total damage today is $57. Dr Ho also included a pack of mosquito patch that cost $8. Alamak, told XP that I already got mosquito patch liaoz and it's so much cheaper lor. Nevermind then!
After we got the medication, we went to the Tampines round market for our brunch. Dun noe why but the hunger seems to be gone. XP ordered a lot of dishes - laksa, pork porridge, carrot cake, chicken rice and yun tun noodle. Luckily the portion is not big and it's shared among the 3 of us.
Saw a side store selling children's clothes. Got a Barney set - top and 3/4 pants for Little Arielle at $5. Have been waiting for a BP on Barney clothes but no luck till date. So since, this is cheap and good, just got 1 for her! She was so happy!

Like An Adult
I was not feeling well after the durian feast and just feel like lying on the bed. Little Arielle was beside me so I decided to ask her the following. Check out our Mandarin conversation:
Me: 我不舒服, 你有没有照顾我?
LA: 你生病啊?
Me: 我肚子痛.
LA: 你有没有吃药?
Wat biangz, she is literally speaking like an adult lor! Absolutely understand the situation and knows what I am talking about. Cannot take it man!

Return of the Durian Feast
We were on our way back home after our late lunch and XP suddenly asked Little Arielle if she wants to eat durian. Aiyah, her answer is definitely yes lor. So XP bought some home as our dessert.
I thought that the durian season was just over and in a short span of about 1-2 months, it's back again! In fact, we ate durians about 1-2 weeks back and it was great savouring the King of Fruits again!
May the yearly harvest be good so that we get to eat fleshy durians always!

Good Imitator
Was pretty irritated the whole morning cos breakfast was missed and I had to clean up the room.
However, after I saw what Little Arielle did, I can't help but break into laughter.

Anyone understood what she was doing? Well, she was actually imitating XP. He was snoring earlier on and she copied what he did. So cute leh!

Worsening of Insect Bite
I initially thought that Little Arielle got a normal mosquito bite from the outing yesterday morning. I myself was a victim too and I actually got about 6-7 bites on my feet. But it turned out to be otherwise.
The bite became very swollen and Little Arielle must have felt pain and itch that she went to scratch until it bled! That's the last thing I wanna see on her leg! This made me bought the Lucas Pawpaw Ointment from the website and I will try it on my own feet to see if it would really help to cure bites and itch!
Anyway, we applied medication on her affected area and hope that she will recover soon!

Puke After Burp
Little Arielle must have been too full until she puke after she burped! I did not give her more this morning. It was her usual quantity. Not sure why that happened but it was indeed very xian when it happened.
XP was the one who handled her and she puke on his shorts and our bed. What a chore early in the morning. Because of her, I gotta do massive clean up. So much so that breakfast was sacrificed. What made the whole situation worst was that Little Arielle kept on messing around and creating trouble until XP and I actually took turns to scream at her!
Wish that I had a magic wand that can make her disappear for a while!

The Crocs Family!
Finally, I was able to get each of us 1 pair of Crocs!
The story goes....
XP told me last evening that there would be Crocs sale today at one of the building in Singapore. Well, apparently, I have forgotten the name of the building. Anyway, I am also aware of the sale cos I received those forwarded email that mention about it. What I was surprised was that XP was interested too cos he has never like Crocs shoes.
So the plan was to have breakfast first, followed by me running some errands and then we would proceed to the sale and there after attend Baby Lucas's Baby Shower.
The sale starts at 10am and we reached the place at about 11am. The parking lots were all taken up and the security guard din allow anymore cars to proceed in. As such, XP just let us alight first while he proceed to look for a parking lot elsewhere.
There were a lot of people waiting at the lift lobby to go up to Crocs which is located at level 5. Heard someone saying that the queue is up till 2nd floor on the stairs. Din quite catch what they say so I followed the others to take the lift. When I reached 5th floor, I finally understood what I heard earlier on. The queue stretched all the way to the 3rd floor. Which means to say, I gotta go down 2 levels and start joining the queue from there. Queuing on the stairs is no joke man! It's quite stuffy and everyone was seen fanning themselves with something.
Was glad that XP din mind to stay in the queue. You know lah, guys usually got no patience! Well, the queue did move and unknowingly, we were in the queue for 1 hour. The first thing we saw was the cashier and behind her was a long queue of customers. They really buy as if it's free lor! They were not just holding 1-2 pairs of shoes. They were holding on to cartons of it! Yes, I am not joking lor! We thought to ourselves, at the rate that they are buying, don't think there is much left for us lor!
Oh mine, finally managed to get in cos there would be someone who would monitor the crowd in the "store". Only when there are people who have already came out, we would be let in. We were all sweating like mad! I was disappointed when I saw how the shoes were being displayed. It's thrown all over the side of the floor. You gotta practically bend down to search for the design and size that you want. All in all, it was very disorganised! I know that it would be in a mess but I kind of expected the shoes to be placed probably on some shelves instead of just being dumped around. Either you find them on the floor or in boxes. If it is in boxes, you gotta dig for the pair that you want. If you are lucky, you get a pair, else you would find yourself holding to one and searching for the other piece to make it a pair cos some people just anyhow throw once they have tried it on.
Got XP to quickly search for what he wants so that he can bring Little Arielle to the car while I make payment. I was busy searching for Little Arielle's shoes but at the same time keeping a tight watch to make sure that she is next to me. Luckily she was wearing her squeaky shoes and that made her easily detectable. Thought that I would be able to find Disney designs but there isn't. As such, got a pair of Mary Jane Purple for her. XP was quick to find something that he likes. He brought Little Arielle out while I was trying to find something for myself. Walked up and down a few times and was pretty disappointed. The designs were very limited. It was worst when you get either the very small sizes or the gigantic ones! After searching for a while, I gave up! So decided to just get 1 for Little Arielle and 1 for XP.

Was in the queue for payment but was still hoping that I can get a pair for myself. It would be good if the design is the same as Little Arielle's one. Got one of the auntie to "look after" my "queue" while I take a second tour to try my luck. Well, I came back disappointed again....
Just before I was about to make payment, I saw a pair of reasonably right size Mary Jane shoes left next to the cashier counter. Realised that it was one of the customers who decided not to get it. Quickly got the auntie in front of me to pass it to me. She only passed me one of the shoe and not the full pair. You know why? Cos her daughter wanted to get it for her friend. I got a bit annoyed cos I was the one who saw it first. Not fair for her to just do that leh! In the end, after her daughter has made a phonecall to her friend, she said that she would be taking it and only left a word,"Sorry".
I was super pissed but forget it lor, perhaps just not fated to own a pair of Crocs. When they were going to make payment, the cashier announced that adult's Mary Jane would be $35 instead of $27. Again, she made another phonecall to her friend and she decided not to proceed with the purchase. I quickly got her to pass that to me!
Hee hee, so afterall, I am fated to own a pair of Crocs! Paid a total of $97 ~ $35 each for mine and XP's Crocs and $27 for Little Arielle's pair. Total time spent on getting 3 pairs of Crocs = 2 hours!

The story goes....
XP told me last evening that there would be Crocs sale today at one of the building in Singapore. Well, apparently, I have forgotten the name of the building. Anyway, I am also aware of the sale cos I received those forwarded email that mention about it. What I was surprised was that XP was interested too cos he has never like Crocs shoes.
So the plan was to have breakfast first, followed by me running some errands and then we would proceed to the sale and there after attend Baby Lucas's Baby Shower.
The sale starts at 10am and we reached the place at about 11am. The parking lots were all taken up and the security guard din allow anymore cars to proceed in. As such, XP just let us alight first while he proceed to look for a parking lot elsewhere.
There were a lot of people waiting at the lift lobby to go up to Crocs which is located at level 5. Heard someone saying that the queue is up till 2nd floor on the stairs. Din quite catch what they say so I followed the others to take the lift. When I reached 5th floor, I finally understood what I heard earlier on. The queue stretched all the way to the 3rd floor. Which means to say, I gotta go down 2 levels and start joining the queue from there. Queuing on the stairs is no joke man! It's quite stuffy and everyone was seen fanning themselves with something.
