Mummy Me left my diamond ring on the table and the next moment, I saw the ring on Little Arielle's finger!

PAP or Cherie Hearts?
XP was fickle-minded. Suddenly asked me if Cherie Hearts is good? He must have thought about it because there were some phamplets slotted into my letterbox telling us about the openhouse. Best of all, they are opening an outlet near to my place.
One concern is the expensive charges i.e. majiam servicing a car instalment and the other one more prone to sickness.
Hmm, we will only have up to Mon to decide cos PAP is already asking us to make a payment (non-refundable) to secure Little Arielle's place in the school.

OCBC Mighty Savers Account
As promised, Mummy Me went to open an account for Little Arielle at OCBC this morning. Had an unpleasant experience there :(
Anyway, they do not require any minimum deposit but if you do put in $20, there will be a starter kit given which consists of the following ->
Hmm, will find a day and deposit all her ang pow $$ which we have accumulated over the years :)

Running Nose is Back!
I really don't know what is wrong with Little Arielle? Her 3 months long of sickness is really driving me NUTS! The long standing is apparently her cough. When that has not recovered, her running nose came back to visit her!! Ahhhh....I really don't know when can she fully recover?
I guessed the recent unpredictable weather must be one of the reasons that caused her running nose to be back.
Sigh.....Please don't ask fever to come too!

Efficient Service
Mummy Me just decided to send an email to Abbott to voice my unhappiness about the 'hidden' FM scoop. What happened was Mummy Me bought a few tins of FM at one go at Guardian Pharmacy last month.
Happened to open one of the tins and was frantically searching for the scoop. It was so bad until I tried to dig it out with a spoon but still could not locate its whereabouts. I was quite upset cos I did not keep any spare scoop with me. In the end, I had to use a tea spoon and my own 'agaration' to prepare Little Arielle's milk. This made me quite angry as I feel that it should be part of the quality checks to ensure that the scoop was included.
Anyway, it was only until a few weeks' later that I found the scoop! Oh mine, it was way buried in about half to 3/4 part of the tin. Faintz....who would have expected it would be so deep inside!
I had wanted to give a feedback and it only took me today to pen down my thoughts. I was immediately shocked when I received a return call from the customer service officer in less than 2 hours' time!
She was apologetic and mentioned that this would be a result of shifting the powder from the warehouse to the store. In any case, she mentioned that she would be sending something over for me to use. Well, I din really catch what she was saying. Will update again when I receive the stuff from them :)

Hot, Sticky Bone Breaking Day :(
Sunday is supposed to be a day to relax and luan. But it's not the case for XP and Mummy Me :(
We came back home after our breakfast. Little Arielle proceeded to enjoy her cartoon while XP and I continued with our slog.
It was really tiring! Clearing out tons of junk hee....What made it worst was half way through, Little Arielle became cranky. She finished her cartoon and saw me packing a bear bear key-chain into the box. She immediately shouted for it. I just refused to give it to her and she start wailing. XP got irritated and asked her to stop her nonsense. She refused and continued with it. He got so mad that he placed her in the toilet, she din want to stay inside and came out. XP got angerier and start beating her. Faintz....she just continued with her cries!
Took her a while to stop all these nonsense. I'm already dead beat from the packing. Just quickly showered her, fed her her milk and medication and insisted that she goes for her afternoon nap. Finally had some peace for a few hours.
We continued with the tedious pack. And if you are wondering why it took so many hours? So simple....we got a lot of things lor. Though it was tiring, what was happy was that Mummy Me found my long lost Tiffany engagement ring!!! And XP found the camera that he has been looking for for the longest time! As for Little Arielle, her interesting stuff were found yesterday :)
Peace was soon over when Little Arielle woke up. It was a bad one cos she brought back her nasty flu!! She was busy wiping off her muscus and trying to breathe as properly as possible. Not only she was sneezing again, she suddenly coughed so badly as though she has never recovered a fair bit at all. Ahhh....this made both of us more irritated! We were already very tired from all the packing and this has certainly added on to our burden.
Well trying to complete the pack asap, we at the same time need to take care of all. Finally, all was done at about 10pm+ and Little Arielle was sent to bed earlier at 9pm+.
Mummy Me's feet were aching badly. Finally understood the pains of those sales promoter, who had to be on their feet for 8 hours. I certainly had a taste of it. The hot and sticky feeling was most unbearable! Had a real good shower after that! What was glad was that we cleared out a lot of stuff and found a lot of stuff too hahaha!!

Hope Rekindled!
Mummy Me just 不干心 and is determined to find an agency for Little Arielle :) So, I must say that I am lucky to google upon this company called Impact. Seems like they have got a lot of child model under their company.
Have sent in an email to enquire about the costs of the modelling class and hopefully it's not too expensive.
Hmm, even though Little Arielle might not be able to get selected, it would be a good exposure for her and since she likes to do modelling :)
Anxiously waiting for the person to get back to me with details!

Decision Made!
Yes, Mummy Me has decided! Little Arielle will continue with her PAP class next year. She would probably still be with her current group of friends and it would make things easier for mama i.e. to send and fetch her from school.
Other things, to be worried at a later stage!
The 'savings' from the fees can be used for other purposes hee!

So Disappointed :(
Mummy Me sent in an enquiry last week to Phantom asking them the criteria for my girl to be a child model. They requested me to submit her photos for them to consider.
After meddling with the scanner for a while, I finally managed to get Little Arielle's pic in softcopy. I was filled with high hopes after I sent the pic over.
The person's reply was very fast. I wasn't prepared to receive a negative answer. Hahaha, shows how much confidence I have in my girl!
Anyway, the reply was "Thank you very much for your photos, however we find that it is not suitable for Phantom."

Tough Decision
Little Arielle's school passed her the application form for K1 registration. Yes, I think the school is KS to give that early and best of all, we are supposed to reply by Thur whether to continue her lessons with PAP or go elsewhere.
Sometimes, that's the problem with a lot of choices. You just cannot decide what is what? Mama preferred Little Arielle to attend the kindergarten near my house. My cousins were from there (church kindergarten) and she felt that their strong foundation of English developed from this school.
While it's good to go to a school which can help to develop Little Arielle's language capability, there were other factors to consider i.e. mama had to take the trouble to fetch Little Arielle and probably cost of the school.
Hmm so should I continue with her existing school which is cheap and good -> $125 per month for 4 hours or spend time scouting around for another school? Hmm....

Excellent Art Pieces :)
done by XP!!
Little Arielle was given some craft work to do over 1 week's school holiday. Apparently, Mummy Me kept wanting to do until hee....din do in the end. As such, Little Arielle went empty-handed to school yesterday. And Mummy Me was 'suan-ed' by her teacher. Cos her teacher asked mama, '她Mummy很忙ah? Wat biangz, 废话! Gotta work and by the time we reached home, we are already half-dead. She thinks that I am some rich tai-tai shaking leg at home or enjoying hi-tea somewhere....
Anyway, Mummy Me's craft work also sucks. So XP came to the rescue :) Poor XP, did the craftwork until quite late. So tired until he got bloodshot eyes!
Little Arielle was supposed to help with the craft work but in the end, she was striking pose for pic somewhere!

Good Mood :)
Things are really different when one is in a good mood. This is extremely apparent in Little Arielle's case.
She obediently put on her shoes this morning which is not the case when she is grouchy. When that happens, she would throw tantrum and refused to walk. Poor mama would have to carry her up.
When her mood is good, she will automatically kiss XP and me goodbye and wave with her little hand. Sigh....can you have good mood everyday? Your little smile will make everyone happy :)

1st Roadtrip of the Year!
Yes, the Tan Family is on the move again! We are going to KL in another few hours' time! While it is exciting, it can be very tiring too! The fact that you see Mummy Me blogging at this time instead of sleeping means there are still things to be done. Hmm....if that is the case, why am I not doing and blogging instead? Aiyah, take a break can or not?
Anyway, I still got things to pack in and I got a bad feeling that I will miss things out. Well, if really so, also bo pian liaoz! Just hope that I did not miss out those real important stuff.
In any case, shall stop here while I continue with my packing. Gotta wake up at 4am+. If I don't speed things up, no need to sleep liaoz! Luckily, driver and the little princess have already gone to bed!

Awful Puke!
OMG....this is the first ever time that Mummy Me also puke upon the smell of Little Arielle's puke! So you can imagine how pungent the smell was!
Well, what happened was we went out for dinner and before that, XP asked Little Arielle if she wants her milk. She said no and we respected her decision. Who knows, when the car was on the move, she insisted to have her milk and both of us were frustrated. We refused to give in to her and told her that we would buy fresh milk i.e. HL milk for her later when we finished our dinner.
We had dinner at our favourite stall. Most of you might have guessed it!
Little Arielle had some rice too. Thereafter, we bought her her strawberry milk and she was happily drinking it.
Everything was fine until we reached home, washed her up, gave her her medication and 100ml of her formula milk and off she went to bed.
Few hours later, her cough cycle started again....It was so bad that I could hear it clearly from the kitchen, even though her room door was closed. Decided to check it out and saw that she was trying to spit out her phelgm. I quickly carried her off her bed and she vomitted a 'palm-full' of phelgm onto the floor. She continued with her cough and showed signs of more puke coming my way. Before she could vomit at the toilet bowl, part of it was already on the floor :( I quickly grabbed her and she vomitted the rest into the toilet bowl.
As XP was already fast asleep (cos he had a bad headache), I was left alone to clean up the mess. Gave Little Arielle a wash on her legs and changed her top since it was lucky that she did not dirty other parts of her body or pants. Put her back to bed before I could start on the mess clearance.
It was an awful sight. I cleared up the 'palm-full' of phelgm first since it was the easiest to start off with. Thereafter came the disgusting one. I kind of regretted not taking a pic of it. But then again, that could mean another few days of 'no appetitie' if I were to look at the pic.
Let me discuss it to you. It was a bright pink big patch of puke and I reckon that it's pink becos there's strawberry milk in it. And as you know, milk puke smelt the worst :( Accompanying it was undigested mushroom which she ate in the afternoon and someother meat pieces look-alike. Yucks! It was really gross! And plus the fact that when you tried to wipe it up with the cloth, the smell lingered in the air and the feel on the cloth was slimy and sticky. It was not a small patch which you could just complete the mess within 1-2 wipes. I think I was on this mess for the past 15 - 25 minutes. Imagine, I gotta hold my breadth whenever I cleaned it up and was trying to rinse it off. It was terrible. I hate to clean puke!
Ahhhh....when is this coming to an end? Her cough has not recovered yet!

Ironman 2010
Yes, there's live telecast of Ironman 2010. Though we are unable to show our support in NZ but boy was I glad that we are still able to catch a glimpse of WX via the internet.
And yes, Mummy Me managed to take a video of it. Steady hor!
*Uploaded on 09 Mar 2010*
Wangxing, You are an IRONMAN!!! We are so proud of you! Little Arielle was very excited when we told her that WX is on the internet!
If I am not wrong, anyone who managed to complete the race within 17hours would be awarded with a medal. Here's the timing of WX's activity ->
3.8km of swim
180km of cycle
42km of run

Frustrated Mama
Mama called me on the line and told me that Little Arielle coughed till she vomitted. Sigh....recently, I am very sensitive when it comes to talking about her cough. Especially when it was so bad until she vomitted. I started rattling at her and assumed that she must have given her something to eat and caused her to react in this way. Poor mama kena from me until she couldn't take it and asked me to take CMC to take care of Little Arielle! She said that if I don't trust her, then I should take care of Little Arielle myself.
Ahhh....how I wish I can. Work is so hectic until I couldn't even breathe during weekends. How to take leave and take care of her :(

Dreadful Cough :(
Yeah....Little Arielle's cough is not over yet. It's been more than 2 months! Still coughed in the middle of the night and I gotta wake up last night to feed her medication :(
Got a call from her PD this morning to check on her condition. Not bad, still got follow-up service. Anyway, told the nurse that she is still coughing at night. She suggested us to bring her for review again if she did not show signs of improvement upon completion of her antibotics.
I do hope that she can recover soon....
