Art Class for Little Arielle

For the past 1 week, Mummy Me was searching for Children's Art class which I wanted to enrol Little Arielle into. I saw some of the CCs offering classes for 4 years and above and some had it for 5 years and above. What was annoying was that, those near to either mama's house or my house did not offer for Little Arielle's age group. I emailed to PA to express my unhappiness and apparently, they did not mention any solution. Even though there are other private schools teaching kids how to draw, I wanted to start with a cheap one since I do not know if Little Arielle is interested in it!

In the end, I continued my search until I chanced upon one that did not state any age requirement! The timing was good (Fri: 7.30pm to 9pm) and it was near my place! I quickly made a call to the CC and was disappointed when the person on the line told me that the trainer needs the students to be at least 5 years and above. I questioned her on this requirement and she mentioned that kids below 5 might not have the patience to sit quietly and draw.

While I agree with her, I was hoping that there could be some exceptions. She was nice and suggested that I could bring Little Arielle to the class this Friday for the trainer to assess her. Hmm, it's worth a try but I will bring her down next Friday since I had something on this Friday.

Good luck to us!

My Guess is Right!

Woke up early in the morning and the first thing to do was to check the phone number of the photo centre. Arrgghhh they are only open at 9.30am.

Finally, waited until their opening hours and quickly gave them a call. Was so glad to hear that they indeed found a red 4GB memory card. I was quite certain that it's mine.

Immediately, my mood changed for the better! I was able to rest my mind :)

STM in Action :(

The unfortunate thing was discovered at Wendy's house and it really spoilt my mood thoroughly :(

I wanted to show Wendy and Donna the pic that Little Arielle took while wearing the Snow White costume. Took out my old camera and realised that the pic was not inside. When I opened it up, I realised that the memory card is GONE!! And the best part is, I have yet to upload the pic into my pc. I really feel like killing myself :( Searched through my whole bag hoping that it would drop out from somewhere but it din :(

I tried to recall and remembered that the last time I took out the card was yesterday, when I need to insert the card into the photo machine at Parkway Parade. I think I forgot to remove it after I selected the pic for developing.

However, I could not be certain because if I really left it there, the staff should have informed me about it when I went back for the collection of my photos. Arrghhh did I drop it somewhere? I really don't know :(

I came back home and tried to search the other possible areas i.e. pockets of my pants but found nothing. XP also mentioned that he did not have it with him. Had wanted to call the photo centre but they were already closed for the day. Hmm, if it is really not there, I was wondering if the pic are still in their machine since I have 'downloaded' it there?

There's no use thinking about it but to contact them tomorrow. Got no mood to do other things and I decide to go and sleep!

Rescheduled....

Aiyah....supposed to have the audition today but one of the staff called and informed me that it has to be rescheduled as the person in charge is down with fever :(

Hmm....luckily the rescheduled date is only a week later!

Looking forward to 3rd Jul....

Swee....

Yeah! That's the most appropriate word to describe!! I finally got the pic developed at Parkway and the first thing that I did when I got home was to have it placed in the photo frame.

Wow....it's really very nice leh! Can't wait to show the others in office on Monday :P

Spanking in the Morning....

It's been a while since Little Arielle kena from XP. Well, that basically means that she has been relatively okie with her behaviour until today, she went to slam the door. XP was mad with her and yup, she got it from him!

Aiyo, havent eat my breakfast and had to attend to this wailing gal! I wonder if I'm the pitiful one or she is?

Interesting Request!

We were on our way home when Little Arielle suddenly requested me to cut my hair and give it to her because she claimed that she does not have enough hair?? I was so amused by this request of hers that I told her that I will put it in her blog.

However, when I came home, I completely forgot about what I want to blog. When I asked XP, he could not remember too. I was just trying my luck and asked Little Arielle and I was amazed that she could remember!

I was so happy and I asked her to re-enact what she said in the car. Here goes ->

Really buay tahan her....

Just Merlion-ed!

Heard Little Arielle coughing badly and I went to her room to take a look at her. She was standing behind the door and there were stains of vomit on her mouth. I quickly brought her to the toilet and she vomitted her lunch and milk out!

Luckily I was fast! Else I would have to spend time cleaning puke again....

Must be her bad cough that caused the puke!

Loves Reading & Stories!

XP wanted to go somewhere for breakfast this morning (but I don't know where he wants to go). Before we could reach the destination, there was a massive jam on PIE. In the end, we detour and went to SingPost @ Paya Lebar. I thought that XP had some errands to run and later got to know that we can have breakfast and get some groceries from NTUC.

After breakfast at Mac, we went down to NTUC. Little Arielle kept pestering us to get her the Barbie and Princess magazine. Hee....these 2 magazines can really 'use' some of her time. She would quietly sit in the trolley and read the books. And of course, when I tried to get her to pose for pic, she gave me a blur look.

*Just turned head up and kena snapped!* - Uploaded on 24 Jun 10

and subsequently, that became an angry look cos she felt annoyed at me snapping her pic hee....

*Super annoyed with me hee....* - Uploaded on 24 Jun 10

After we got our stuff from NTUC, we proceeded to Popular Bookstore cos we need to buy construction paper for Little Arielle's holiday homework....Yah, school opening next week and we have yet to start on it. Better pray that we can finish on time else will get some naggings from her teacher again!

While Mummy Me was selecting the paper, XP was reading Snow White to her and she was enjoying it....Hmm can this interest last long?

My Little Snow White!

XP was telling me some weeks ago that there is some Disney Princess show ongoing at Parkway Parade. Went to their website and gathered that if you spend more than $80 at Parkway, your kid will be entitled to a FOC make over session. Finally found the time to drop by this afternoon and Little Arielle was so excited when we walked past the atrium. Little children were having their sticker tattoos and doing up the make up. Without further ado, I immediately went to the info counter and asked if the purchase of $80 needs to be from some specific stores.

Wanted to get milk powder from Giant but it's out of stock. In the end, went to get 3 pants from Giordano and cost XP $99 hee. Cos Mummy Me left my credit card in another bag! Thanks XP!

Quickly cheong to the atrium and Little Arielle was the next in line. First, she did her sticker tattoo, followed by make up and lastly, the dressed up :P

Another Submission

Being relaxed at home on my leave days, I got a little bit more time to do things for Little Arielle. That includes submitting another entry to BabyChic! Your kid must take a pic with the latest issue of BabyChic magazine. Hmm, for this submission, I think if her pic is included, it might be published in the next issue of BabyChic magazine. Hopefully, it will be included :)

I Hate to....

PACK!!!

Especially for a trip :( Yes....the Tan Family will be following Shin Min for their annual Fun Drive to Genting in a few hours' time! Mummy Me is only forcing myself to do the packing at this 11th hour.

Arrgghh there seems to be 1001 things to bring for Little Arielle....majiam bringing the whole house there.

I'm so tired from doing so :( And yah....the packing has yet to complete and I'm so afraid of missing important things out. Hopefully not and we can enjoy our trip in Genting :)

Yeah....Got Chance :)

Yeah....the lady replied saying that she can meet us this Saturday!! Hmm, looking forward to it. Wonder if Little Arielle got what is takes to be a model?

Sigh....

Since there was no reply, I decided to be proactive and resent another email to her. Hee....yeah saw her reply and she mentioned that she was not available during the proposed dates that I have given her. She suggested to meet up next week which is not possible as I would be back to work.

I gan gan suggested to meet up during the weekend. Hmm would she consider my request?

Trying My Luck....

Mummy Me had wanted to let Little Arielle participate in the Kids Modelling Contest held on 13 Jun but apparently, she could not as she did not meet the age requirement.

The lady was kind to suggest an informal meet up and I wanted to try my luck to arrange for such a session. Just sent her an email requesting for a slot next week (since I'm on leave) and she replied in 3 hours' time. Hmm....the suggested time slots given by her were all not ideal :( I counter-proposed and for the whole of today, I received no reply from her :(

One of the Recipients....

of the Pixar Exhibition Tickets! Received a reply from BabyChic via FB that we are one of the recipients of the tickets. They are only giving out 10 sets of tickets and I'm so happy to be one of them! Yeah....will wait for the collection and bring Little Arielle and perhaps gong gong too to watch!

Pixar Exhibition Tickets Giveaway!

Mummy Me is a fan of BabyChic magazine and recently, I saw that they have a contest where I just need to submit a pic of Little Arielle with the past 3 issues of BabyChic magazine to win a set of 4 tickets worth $96 to the Pixar Exhibition @ Science Centre. Hmm since I have all 3 issues, I decided to send it in :)

Sunshine After the Rain

Finally, after 2 days of fever, I am pleased to inform that Little Arielle is so much better today. Well, at least her fever did not come back since noon and I hope that it will not visit her again.

Nevertheless, I am still dilligently feeding her with medication and constantly taking her temperature. Hope this routine can end soon :)

I Wonder....

why is Little Arielle so active when she is running a temperature of 39 degrees? Ahhh....when is this coming to an end? It's unusual of her to have fever for this long a period. It is definitely not dengue leh....The only guess is what mama has said -> her throat infection has not recovered yet, that's why the fever continues.

Hopefully she can get well before weekend comes....

Little Fashionist!

Cannot stand Little Arielle! Even though she is sick, she still wants to choose my working clothes for me. Best of all, she does know how to mix and match! And of course, she always insist that I must either wear a skirt or dress! Faintz....

A Stressful Day....

It was easier for Mummy Me to focus on my work today when part of my heart and soul were with Little Arielle. I made constant phonecalls home to check on the status of her fever. I was quite shocked when mama told me during all occasions that her fever has yet to subside. It was so unusual for Little Arielle to be in such a situation. She has never had fever for that long a period. I was indeed worried....

Finally, I waited until the time that I was able to bring her to the doc. The rush was worth it as I managed to reach the clinic before they close for dinner. Measured Little Arielle's weight which was 13.9kg and her temperature read as 38.6 degree. The nurse was asking for the time that the last dosage was taken and I was shocked when mama told me it was 10am+! Aiyah....no wonder her fever did not subside :( Fever medication should be taken every 4 hourly! When we were at the doc, it was already 4.20pm, which was way past the medication time. The nurse quickly got Little Arielle to take the medicine while we waited for our turn. This is gonna be a minimum wait of 1 hour as there were 11 patients in front of us! Faintz....

During the wait, Little Arielle was super sticky to me. Is this how all sick kids behave? They want to be taken care by their mummy? Though I did not like her to be sick, but I like the feeling where I can sense the trust that she has in me. The faith that I would be able to take care of her. And of course, it definitely pains me to see her 'burning inside'.

Finally, it's our turn at about 6pm. Dr Ho examined her and mentioned that she has sore throat which was a result of her flu and which in turn caused the fever. She was given so many kinds of medication and total damage was $109 (which I thought it would be $200).

Made the necessary payment and quickly went back home so that Little Arielle can rest well. While I was preparing her medication, I took her temperature again and she gave me another shock! 40.6 degrees! I was scared stiff! Quickly inserted the bullet in her buttock and pasted the fever patch over her. And the cycle continued where I constantly measured her temperature and I was glad that it went down in about 1 - 2 hours' time.

Now gonna get ready for her medication and I hope that I can catch some sleep....

Up is No Good....

It was an innocent act of waking Little Arielle up at 2.30am for her toilet break when I found her to be exceptionally hot. I did not turn on the aircon tonight as she was sneezing away eversince she was at the expo earlier today. I initally thought that the heat was a result of sleeping in a non aircon room. Anyway, to set my mind at ease, I decided to measure her temperature.

Got a shock when the thermometer read 39.2 degree! Without further ado, I quickly went to the fridge, brought out her fever medication and immediately gave her one dose. For faster effects, I made her put on the fever patch.

The rest of the night was a suffering moment for me. Apparently, I couldn't sleep at all knowing that her fever has yet to subside. I felt like a 'mi-c' where I found myself taking her temperature every other moment. However, all the readings were not positive :( The worst was 39.6 degrees....

What was worst was that Little Arielle kept wetting her bed. Arrgghhh I kinda of regret not putting her on diapers! She wet once at 3am+ and I shifted her to another bed where I found her to be wet again at 6am+.

I got no choice but to quickly change her and send her to my mama's house. Will get mama to monitor her situation first. If the medication did not help, she needs to go to the doc!

Blooming Flowers

Mummy Me saw a lot of flowers blooming this morning! Does it mean good omen? I hope that Little Arielle will do as well as the blooming flowers later....Good luck :)

皇上不急, 太监急!

The contest is tomorrow! Mummy Me is getting so nervous and worried. Part of her voice is back. Hopefully it either stays status quo or it will get better! Wish us luck....

*Sweat*

She Did It :)

Was so happy when Little Arielle was able to wake up in the middle of the night yesterday by herself for her toilet break.

Luckily she did that! Else the mattress would be wet again :)

Nice Colouring Works!

It's Little Arielle's school holidays and in order not to let her feel bored at mama's house, I brought over some colouring books and activity books for her to do at her house.

She showed me this when we got home. I was surprised that this is coloured by her. So when mama happened to call me on the phone, I asked if she has helped to colour. She said No and told me that she just asked Little Arielle not to colour out of range. Way to go, my girl :)

Losing Her Voice :(

Came back to mama's house after work and got a shock when we realised that Little Arielle is losing her voice....

It was so coarse until she almost sounded like a man :( Jiat lard lah....Hope that she would recover before the contest this Friday man! Else how to talk??
