Kiwi!!

Yes yes! Mummy Me remembered Little Arielle's request and specially went to the fruit stall during lunch to buy one of her favorite fruit - kiwi! Otherwise, I'm gonna hear her naggings everyday!!

She was so delighted when she saw me with the bag of kiwis and immediately said that she wants to eat! Nah....it was late and I was too lazy to cut!

Tomorrow okie, my dear :)

Teacher's Day Gift!

One of the thing about havings kids is that you have to worry for them what to get for their teachers during Teachers' Day! Mummy Me has been scratching my head for the past few weeks over what to get for them. Apparently I don't have the time nor talent to help Little Arielle with those handmade stuff.

So when I saw that Sticky has created some candies specially for Teachers' Day, I knew that that is what I am gonna get for her teachers :) Wanted to pop by their store last week but din have the chance. Was happy when they still have the candies when I went over this morning!

Got a total of 5 sets - 3 packed in jars and 2 in packets and it cost me $30.10. Was also given a loyalty card and was told that I would get a stamp for every $10 purchased. So I got 3 stamps today :) If I complete the card, I would get 10% discount for all subsequent purchases. Cool!

Will get Little Arielle to write her teachers' names on the sticker before pasting it on the jar/packet :p

My Little Girl....

Was alone with Little Arielle as XP was away for a meeting. She was playing with her toys and trying to make a cake for me. Her innocent smile just made me have an undesirable happy feeling....

Her laughter sounded so sweet....I wish that she would stay happy forever :)

Disney Princess Pageant 2011

Yes....Mummy Me has yet again submitted photos for some contest, hoping that she would have the chance to be winner....Hahaha! Difficult actually, but it's for the fun of it ba :p

Here's the 3 entry pic which I have submitted....

Complaint to Pumpkin Patch!

Mummy Me recently bought a dress during one of the Pumpkin Patch Sale. I was so upset when the colour came off and stained the whole dress. Apparently, I don't recall soaking it for that long and the washing label din mention anything about not soaking it!

Anyway, it was so badly stained that I don't think I would want Little Arielle to wear out the second time.

So, I went to post in Pumpkin Patch's FB page and let's see what they can do as service recovery....Hmm, sikali they can't be bothered about me!!

Cried Again :(

I really don't know why Little Arielle detest her Chinese class so much? She told me early in the morning that she did not want to attend her class and of course, she will not get 'ok' from me as an answer!


Relunctantly, she went for the class and as what she did a few lessons ago, she started crying at the doorstep. This round, the admin gal quickly carried her over and brought her in. Told XP about it and he suggested to withdraw her from the lesson after we have completed the term. I really hope that Little Arielle would change her mind by then.


When I went to pick her up, she was happily walking around holding her teacher's hand. There was no sign of any unhappiness. When I asked if she wants to go for her class next week, she still said no! Just what is wrong with her??

It's A Smurfy Day

It's an exciting day for Little Arielle as we told her a few days back that we would be taking pic with the Smurfs today :)

She kept asking when we are going to see the Smurfs and I told her we will go after her class :)

So here we are!! At Bossini, Taka!! The queue has already formed when we reached. XP went to join in the queue while I started choosing the clothes for myself and Little Arielle. Thereafter, we quickly headed for the cashier, got Little Arielle to change and while doing so, we already heard the screams outside. We knew that the Smurfs must have arrived!!

We were all happy to be able to take pic with the Smurfs. XP also got himself a Smurf tee! We will all be wearing it to the Smurf movie!!

My 7 Years Fan....

I din know that things also have 7 years itch! Apparently my fan of 7 years died on me last weekend. Was quite upset cos this fan accompanied me through my Punggol days as well as my confinement period. And the saddest thing was that I did not managed to take a last pic of it and XP went to throw it away! Faintz!


Anyway, that was terrible cos turning the aircon for the whole night made me sneeze. So when XP said that we would be getting a fan today, I was overjoyed!


We quickly rush to have it exchanged with XP's Shell points at KDK after Little Arielle's review at Dr Sim.


So while XP was settling the redemption, we decided to take some pics around the area :)

1st Review @ Dr Sim's Clinic

It wasn't easy dragging ourselves out of bed early on a Saturday morning but because we were asked to go for a review for Little Arielle's ear. So here we are early at the clinic on a Saturday morning....

Dr Sim carefully examined Little Arielle's ears and said that her condition has improved but is still required to complete the antibotic and her ear drop.

The verdict is, Little Arielle would need to come for her second review next Thursday. Hopefully she is clear of all infection by then!

Meet & Greet The Smurfs!!

After going through Bossini's Facebook page, I realized that they have a Meet & Greet session this Saturday at Takasimaya! Have decided to go there and will get our Smurfs tees from the store in Taka!

Boy am I looking forward to this Saturday!!

Smurfs Tees Are Back!

Thanks to Ah Tan, Mummy Me got to know that Smurfs tees are back in Bossini stores! I am so happy because XP did not allow me to buy when they introduced in March this year because he felt that it's too expensive! After listening to him, I apparently felt so regretted! But it was too late cos all the stores stopped selling it after their promotion period!

After I got to know that they are back, I already went to their website and have decided what I want to buy! Ahhh so exciting! We will wear it to our Smurf movie!!

Start of Scrapbooking Journey

Mummy Me has been wanting to try Scrapbooking for the longest time but somehow, there was either no time or no opportunity! Finally, I had the chance to do so today, within office hours because it was one of the recreation activity organized by my company.

I just felt so proud with my piece of work! Something that is really done by me only and hee....it looks not bad too! Even XP says that it's swee :p That really motivates me! Hopefully I can keep up with this expensive hobby. Will shop for paper and the relevant tools next week! Yippee....

8 Tins Of Milk Milk!

*8 tins of stock!!* - Uploaded on 19 Aug 2011

Yes...this is what we lugged back this evening! Managed to get it at the same price of $50.80 per tin after using the discount coupon which expires today :p Wanted to get more tins cos I have 12 coupons actually but XP did not want to fork out another $200 of cash cos we got the 8 tins using our NTUC vouchers. Moreover, he felt that 8 tins is way too sufficient for Little Arielle. Hmm....I think can tahan for at least half a year ba :p And we also almost wiped out all the available tins at the store hahaha....

Looking forward to the next discount!! When ah??

Horrible Night!

Everything was fine after dinner except that Mummy Me had the flu bug bugging me :( After reaching home, the only thing that I wanna do is to quickly take my medication and go to bed.

I was wakened by my friend's message at about 12am+ and thereafter, I found myself to be super awake! Probably because the weather is so hot and I just couldn't take it. Hmm the medication kinda work and my nose doesn't feel so wet already.

That being the case, I decided to on the aircon cos I realised that Little Arielle was very grouchy too. I think she must have felt the heat too. But that seems to be the beginning of trouble :( The aircon din managed to settle her down. She was very cranky and we suspected that she had a nightmare because she kept asking for whiteboard cos she wanted to draw something! Faintz....that's like 2am lor!

In the end, I carried her in my arms to pacify her cos she was crying away and was glad that she calmed down after a while. Suddenly, she felt very hot and realised that she got fever out of the blue. Wahhh....quickly fed her her medication and she went to bed. I accompanied her the whole night and did not really sleep soundly.

Woke up this morning and tested her temperature to be 38.9! Ahhhh....quickly pasted the Fever Patch over her forehead and sigh....don't think she can attend her class today! My money going down the drain! So sad....

*Sick little darling in tears :(* - Uploaded on 14 Aug 2011

Anyway....bo pian....health is more important....

3/10!!

Yah....this was the horrible result that Little Arielle recently got for her work in school. I don't recall performing that badly when I was young or was it XP?. Sigh....what's wrong with her? It is because she really lacks the teaching from home? If so, perhaps really gotta see how to spend more time to teach her siaz!

She saw me looking through her work and I told her that I'm disappointed with her performance. When asked if she would do better the next time, she said she will....I certainly hope that she will lor! The most obvious thing that she could have got it right was to write the numbers correctly. She could have easily got another 3 points if she did not write them in the mirror image....

Milk Powder Discount Coupon

Woohoo....check out the discount coupons that we got! 1 week back, we have already bought 3 tins of milk powder with the same coupons cut out from Straits Times.

Mummy Me happened to chance upon this coupon again in Today's newspapers. Was so happy about it and went asking around for colleagues to give me if they happened to have the papers and do not need it.

And yes....I managed to get 8 pieces :) XP got 1 only....lousy him :p Will be buying it soon cos the offer gonna end on 17 Aug!

*After discount, it's about $50 per tin. Good deal :)* - Uploaded on 14 Aug 2011

Small Feet, Big Feet :p

Just caught this on camera when Little Arielle was happily resting her feet on XP's feet. Looks kinda cute :p

1st Visit to A Chinese Physician

Little Arielle's cough virus has been with her for the past 1.5 years. Sadly, western medication does not seems to help kill the virus thoroughly :( She would be okie for a few days and thereafter, cough for a few weeks. It was especially bad at night and our hearts go out to her when she couldn't get a good night's sleep.

Have been wanting to try out Chinese medication instead since western medication apparently can't do the job. Finally, Mummy Me managed to find out about this Chinese physician in Kembangan which is famous for treating kids. Have decided to give it a try and hope that she would be cured completely this time round!

We reached there early at about 1.15pm and our queue number was 11. Since they are only opened at 2pm, I took Little Arielle to Kembangan plaza and we lingered around the area until 1.55pm.



*This is the place* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011



*Here we are....* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011



*Our queue number - lucky 11* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011

When we reached the clinic again, wahhh....the place is already swarmed with people! Done the registration and we waited patiently for our turn. Luckily my queue number was good. As such, the wait was less than half an hour.

The physician heard her breathing and checked her heartbeat. She said that Little Arielle's airways were sensitive.

She has to abstain from the following food items ->
1. Cold drinks
2. Chicken
3. Birds Nest
4. Egg white and eggs related products i.e. bread, cakes etc
5. Prawns
6. Crabs
7. And of course other heaty or spicy food

Faintz lor! Cannot eat eggs related products means she doesn't really have much choice of food left. Poor thing! But what to do....the physician says that she has a lot of phelgm and if she continues to feed on such food. She would not recover! we just had to be strict this time round!

After the examination, the physician recommended her to go through 'tui na' and I sat beside her while she is being treated by another physician. The whole 'tui na' process took about 20 minutes. It included her palm, stomach, face and back.

*Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011*

After the session, we went to collect her medication. The pharmacist took out a big bottle of black liquid medicine and medicine powder. From far, the medicine smell is already very pungent! I am scratching my head, wondering if Little Arielle can take it or not! The damage cost $53 and we need to go for review next Saturday.

Back home, I prepared Little Arielle's medication after her feed. 1 packet of medicine powder to be mixed with the black liquid medicine.



*Before the mix* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011



*Eee....yucks! The black black drink* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011

Little Arielle stirred on her own and to my surprise, she finished it without vomitting! I am so proud of this little girl! Thank god that she can take the bitter and pungent smell. Else I would have a hard time coaxing her. Hopefully, it can work this time round :)

50kg of Newspapers!

Mummy Me has been collecting newspapers for the past few months and it really made me feel like garung guni!

We had wanted to go Ikea for the longest time to exchange the papers for Smales points but somehow, we always had something on on Saturdays.

Finally, managed to squeeze time today to get it done! So happy about it because finally, my workstation and house is clear of newspapers :)



*So many bags until we need a trolley* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011



*Little Arielle also wants to take with the newspapers :p* - Uploaded on 6 Aug 2011

Our 50kg of newspaper has earned us 10 points. This is by far the most that we have collected!! Hmm, don't have time today to redeem the items. Shall do it the next time!

Thanks to Ikea for having such an interesting programme :)

Checking Out the Mothercare Casting

It's the first day of the casting today and because Little Arielle has her class in Forum too, Mummy Me went to take a quick peek before her class ends.

Hmm seems like I can kinda of purchase up to $120 worth of items. Shall decide that she would go for the shoot next week.

Although the chance is super slim, but she will probably get a pic back as memory :)

Nothing beats having a good experience right :p

When You Din Look For It....

It appeared!!

Yah! The denim shorts which I have been searching in Little Arielle's wardrobe for the longest time made its appearance today!

Faintz....when I am not looking for it, it just appeared in front of me lor!

Hmm....now she has 2 denim shorts of the same exact design. Luckily the size is different. Shall pass the smaller size to mama so that she can wear it to her CMA class :p

$120! Should or Should Not?

Chanced upon the Mothercare Ad where they are looking for models between 0 - 6 years old. To join, you need to spend $120 on their merchandise. Hmm quite a fair bit leh! Should I go for it to let her have the exposure or should I save up the $$?

More Benefits?

Hee....I was elated when XP got Little Arielle to show me this pair of tickets which someone in his grassroot committee gave him. Hee....2nd time that there's some beneifts joining the committee. Anyway, it's not just me that's was happy, Little Arielle was jumping away with joy.

Then I asked her, how many tickets are there? She suddenly turned grumpy because she knew that there were only 2 and she won't be able to go hee!

XP quickly comforted her by saying that he would get another ticket :p

All By Herself :)

Little Arielle drew this on her own :) That's without my 'outline'. Thought that it looked rather cute after a few looks. Afterall, it's 99% made by her :) Hee cos I realised that I helped her with the fingers :p

The Eye Report

Got the report back but apparently doesn't know how to interpret the information! Will call and enquiry tomorrow!

First to Complete

Little Arielle told me proudly that she was the first to complete her abacus work IB class and because of this, she was given biscuits as reward. Sadly, she said that she actually did not get everything right! Faintz! Got speed but no accuracy also no use right!

Approval Letter for CDA Account

I was shocked to receive the approval letter that early when it was previously communicated that it's gonna be 3 weeks later. Just as well....I would be able to open the account earlier and get the payment. But first, I must go and count her dowry cos I'm gonna deposit those coins in, else Gong Gong will come after me :p

First Chopsticks Attempt

Caught Little Arielle in action when she managed to pick up pieces of food with the chopsticks! Was proud that she could do it because I did not train her with the training chopsticks. Sigh....talking about it, I had wanted to buy a pair for her but kept forgetting to do so. Sorry dear :p

She was so confident the first time but when she knew that she's being photographed, that kinda of affected her :)
