XP's Teachings

Remember few days back I bought the stationery for Little Arielle? Had wanted to teach her how to write ABC and 123 but she is a LEFT-HANDED! I don't know how to write with my left hand wor....So in the end, I left the job to XP hee....

He started drewing some boxes on the paper for Little Arielle to write and somehow, he knows how to hold her left hand to teach her how to write. Good for him then....

Thereafter, Little Arielle was happily writing away and hope that this enthu in her will continue on :)

Entertainment @ M1

XP bought the mobile internet device from M1 since Sep 09. However, we have not been making full use of it cos there is always problem connecting the network. We went down once to get the technical staff to do a check. After we got home and tried a few times, the same issue occured :( XP happened to find out that one of his friend is working in M1 (holding some high post) and he recommended us to change it to another mobile device.

So, we made arrangement and went down this morning to get it done. While XP is being served at the counter, Little Arielle entertained herself by playing with the iPhone. Was surprised that they have iPhone sets placed at the service area and I had some fun playing with it too! Waiting for Gen4 to arrive and will consider getting a set too hee!

We went off after the exchange was completed. So far, the connection is doing fine :)

New Stationery

Auntie Astin bought 2 Disney Princess Activity Books for Little Arielle some time ago and I kept forgetting to bring it home. When I finally remembered to do so, I realised that Little Arielle doesn't have the necessary stationary to get started.

Finally got the chance to visit the bookstore after Little Arielle's Little Notes class (cos the bookstore was just next to it!)

Disney Princess Activity Book

Compliments from Auntie Astin! Little Arielle's favourite Disney Princess! Have been wanting to bring it home for her but I kept forgetting and it was happily sitting in my office's tray. At last, I remembered to do so today! Hope that she would diligently work on it!

Finger Licking Good!

Little Arielle really loves durian! Bought the famous Goodwood Park's durian puff through my company's sale and I had to finish all up by today else it would turn bad. Luckily left with 4 and Little Arielle can't wait to help me polish it up.

After finishing it, she wants to lick my fingers too cos there were bits of durian left on my fingers!

Buay tahan her!

A Wrong Move

Mummy Me specially woke up early in the morning at 8am with the intention to clear some of my work. Ahhh who knows Little Arielle is also an early bird! She woke up at about 8.15am leaving me with no choice but to entertain her too!

Next time, should sleep late to do work and not to wake up early to waste time!

The Singapore Pledge :)

Eversince we left school, the singapore Pledge is not something that I will recite everyday. Few days ago, Little Arielle started to recite the pledge. Boy was I impressed with her clarity and she could articulate it so well! I tell myself that I must video it down!

Do you agree?

Granny's 83rd Birthday Celebration

It's granny's 83rd birthday and the Heng family gathered at a restaurant in Safra Yishun. It is a birthday celebration cum gathering as we were able to find out how each of us is doing at the moment. The table was well spilt such that I was seated with my cousins (meaning near my age) and the elderly were in another table. It was also through this gathering that my cousin Weiming asked if Little Arielle can be his flower girl as he is getting married in Oct. Wow wow, I was so excited and I readily agreed. I knew that Little Arielle would love the idea of being dolled up like a little princess hee.... Anyway, found out from Weiming that he is a producer and have asked him to keep me informed if there is any chance for Little Arielle to act hee!

Eggcellent Eggcurb!

It was recommended by Auntie Astin that we try this Taiwan dessert called Eggcurb. Actually, I saw her posting in FB for a few times and was quite amazed that she kept on repeating her orders. Anyway, decided to give it a try since she spoke heavenly about this dessert.

Gathered quite a fair bit of orders from my colleagues and the delivery was this afternoon. The first impression of the eggcurb wasn't that impressive. It was just stored in a Toyogo tub and it looked real yellow from the exterior.

Brought it back home after I collected my uRelax massager and decided to give it a try. When I opened up the lid, wow wow....the smell was fantastic! This really made me feel so excited that I sped up my actions in anticipation to try the dessert. Yes! Confirmed that the dessert is worth the while! It's so soft and smooth and it really looked like beancurb. So people who are unable to eat beans can eat this as an alternative. Best of all, it's nutritious too :)

The eggcurb comes with sugar syrup which you can add accordingly to your liking. Else, you can replace with cut fruits or those cocktail. The eggcurb itself is not very sweet and so, people with diabetes can take too!

And Little Arielle who is still coughing gets to eat too. I let her ate it unchilled so it's not so bad on her throat. She loves it too and kept asking for more!

Can't wait to order a few more tubs to savour it! Yum yum!!

Check out the pics :P

Clumsy Gal

Ahhh....as the subject title suggests, you must have guessed that Little Arielle must have met with a mishap. Luckily, it was a small accident. Was told by mama that Little Arielle was running along the corridor and she suddenly fell. As she was opening the door, she did not witness how the accident occured.

Anyway, Little Arielle mentioned that she tripped and she must have hit the edge of the drain and thus, the big bump on her right forehead. Ahhh....this girl forever got something busy with her head!

I'm 42 Months Old!

Wow! Little Arielle is 42 months old liaoz. Almost cannot believe it hee....Check out her cheeky look ->

It's good to be slow....at times!

Mummy Me had wanted to buy the following dress for Little Arielle's photoshoot which is gonna take place in Jul. The fact that this dress can make me buy, means it has its own attraction (cos Mummy Me hates green and would of cos not buy green for Little Arielle). This is certainly an exception but I was hesistating becos this online seller is selling at $29.90. I decided to wait a while and see if there is a chance of another person selling at a cheaper price.

Yes yes yes! Managed to locate another seller who is only selling it at $18! Without thinking, I immediately placed my order :) What a great difference in price :) So happy that I got a better deal elsewhere for the same identical item!

我要结婚了

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

*Tiffany ring on Little Arielle's finger!* - Uploaded on 01 Apr 2010

She is such a vainpot!! Went to put it on and said,"我要结婚了" Faintz!! Hmm, but on second look, the ring does look nice on her finger hee!

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.

*scratch head*

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....

鳳飛飛

Was at Isetan Parkway and Little Arielle walked over to the accessory department and started trying on the hats that they have got there!

Reunion Lunch @ Straits Kitchen

It's a tradition of the Tan family i.e. my PIL to have reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's eve as well as the last day of Chinese New Year.

XP has reserved a table at Straits Kitchen, located at Hyatt Hotel for our reunion lunch. The parking fees was x! $5 per entry. But I thought that we can fully utilise the fee by shopping around after lunch. Afterall, we seldom step into the streets of Orchard during weekends. This is the chance :)

As such, Mummy Me's appetite was good. What made it better was the food :) It's buffet style and per pax cost about $40 - $50+++.

However, in the middle of our lunch, my MIL insisted that we should go back straight after lunch as my BIL would be visiting her next unit i.e. opposite me and she felt that we should be home so that he can visit our unit too. She added in a lot of crap and XP couldn't tahan her and decided to give in. I was apparently unhappy and decided not to take a group photo!

I was super irritated! More so when they only stayed less than 15 minutes at my place! I gotta give up my chance of shopping around just to entertain them for 15 minutes! Angry leh!

Good Luck, WX!

Well, cannot believe that Little Arielle's uncle, who is none other than my younger brother, WX has signed up for the Ironman triathlon which is gonna be held in New Zealand on 6th Mar. We had wanted to fly to NZ to give him our support but somehow, timing just doesn't match. We were quite worried about his safety that he would be there alone and hoped that he would enjoy himself in NZ.

Our family and WX's friend sent him off at the airport. He gave us a dinner treat before he board the plane. Good luck :) We will try to catch the competition on 6th Mar. Hopefully there is live telecast, somewhere :P

It's 123 & ABC Time!

Yes, I agree that it is kinda of late that Little Arielle knows 123 & ABCs at this age where some kids could have learnt it some time ago. Actually also cannot blame her much. Afterall, she did not attend school before this year and I seldom have the time and chance to give her coaching.

So, as far as I am concerned, I am already contented that she knows it now :)

*Uploaded on 09 Mar 2010*

Companionship?

Without fail, Little Arielle would want either of us to keep her company at night, especially at bedtime. I told her today that she would have her bear bear to keep her company but she still wants me to accompany her. I took the chance to ask her if she wants mei mei's company and she gladly said Yes!

Hmm....is she lonely?

The Cough

continues badly :( guessed it's gonna be a "long" night for Mummy Me again! Sucks man....

My Sick Baby

Sigh....just when Mummy Me was busy handling Little Arielle's cough, here comes her flu to keep her cough company! Faintz....

She was sneezing and tearing away + her itchy throat just made her cough numerous times. Aiyo, it was really heart wrenching watching her suffer and I cannot do anything except to give her her medication on time.

I think we really have to make a trip to Dr Ho tomorrow!

粘粘!

Here's XP's conversation with Little Arielle ->

XP: 不要动, 等一下手粘粘
LA: 年年有余!

Both of us almost faintz....此粘非比年!!

"Chao Keng Ong"

Our conversation ->

Mummy Me: Did you anyhow eat in school today?
LA: Biscuits, 老师给我的!
Mummy Me: Huh, 为什么老师给你吃?
LA: 我没有跟老师讲, 不然她不给我吃!

Faintz....to think that her mind can think so fast!

that almost scares Little Arielle away! Hee but it does not scare Mummy Me as I move up close to it and took a pic :)

Reunion Dinner 2010

Time flies! I only remembered having breakfast, coming back home to pack my room and before we could rest for a while, it's time to have our reunion dinner. This year's reunion dinner is at this restaurant at Park Royale Hotel - Hai Xiang.

Hmm find that the food was so-so only. Service was weird -> Served slowly in the beginning and suddenly towards the end, our food came so fast that my FIL had to ask them to slow down. So I was damn hungry initially and had to gobbled my food towards the end.

MIL was nagging away cos we din allow Little Arielle to eat a lot of stuff and of course the reason is because she is still coughing away badly. Told her liaoz and she thought that we purposely din allow her to eat. Kept saying we "Yum gong". XP was so pissed off that he told her off. Hee....that shut her mouth for a while and we continued to eat our food!

Anyway, it was lucky that we had our dinner early at 6.30pm. It ended at around 8.30pm. Felt so happy that it has ended cos XP and I both caught a cold and we were feeling terrible. Just wanted to take our medication and sleep early for the nite :)

Nasty Fall

Heard cries in the bathroom while I was in the storeroom. Went to check it out and got to know from XP that Little Arielle slipped and fell in the bathroom. Best of all, she fell on the stairs which I don't understand cos it was not slippery.

Anyway, here's a pic of her nasty fall ->

Luckily it's on her back. Else how to 过年?

Wall Sticker!

Mummy Me has been wanting to get some wall stickers to paste on Little Arielle's room's boring wall. Although there's wall paper in her room, somehow the design wasn't what I like. As such, I thought of getting wall stickers to decorate it. As usual, it has been on my mind for the longest time but no action has been taken!

Just saw Astin's post where she bought wall stickers and decorated Lucas's room with it. Wow....it was so nice! Made my hands itchy leh! And with Astin's push (by asking me whether I want to go with her to buy wall stickers or not), I agreed without hesitation.

So off we go to Tiong Bahru Plaza during lunch and I bought the following wall sticker ->

Wanted to get Disney Princess for Little Arielle but they only have Belle. Hmm, that's Mummy Me's favourite and not really Little Arielle's one. As such, I gave it a miss! Hmm, Mummy Me wonder if XP would object to the wall sticker. Thank god, he also found the pic cute.

Hee hee, he will have the honour to do the pasting this Fri since he has taken leave to do spring cleaning. Ahhh, I just love him so much hee!

Yellow Gifts!

Hahaha, must be wondering what is yellow gifts right? Here is it! Gifts from some NTUC aunties again! Lucky Little Arielle!

Playground @ M1

Mummy Me was fed up with the wireless connection device that I got from M1. Had subscribed to their service since Sep 09 with the purpose of using my netbook during my department meeting, however they have failed me eversince Day 1 when I tried to use it during the meeting. Was so upset with it that we did not really utilise it for the past few months. Finally, XP decided to do something about it. Else we would be paying for the subscription for nothing. Went to the M1 service centre in Paragon this afternoon. While investigating the problem, Little Arielle was treating the waiting area like her playground.

*Uploaded on 09 Feb 2010*

Oh my, she was really enjoying herself and playing heartily with that little girl. Was so pai seh when that little girl slipped and fell. Asked Little Arielle to apologise and she simply refused, thinking that it was no fault of hers. Alamak, if she hadn't play with her, that little girl wouldn't have slipped and fall. Anyway, just couldn't get her to say sorry. Luckily, she did not suffer any injuries.

Anyway, she continued to play with her after her fall and luckily, our problem was resolved and could leave the place!

"Peh Chek?"

Well, nowadays kids also know what is "peh chek" = frustrated? Yeah....you will be surprised that they know! Check out the following video ->

The Last Thing

that Mummy Me wants to hear when I got back home is Little Arielle's screams, cries and shouts. That really super irritates me and would immediately piss me off! So much so that I simply do not want to be associated with her.

Why can't they stand adorable all the time?

Good Night's Sleep

Miricalously, Little Arielle's cough was so much better until I did not hear a single sound of cough for the whole night.

Hmm, she was still taking the same medication and I'm surprised that her condition has improved tremendously. At least it's good for her cos she would have a good night's sleep.

Hopefully, the medication can work even better and I don't have to visit Dr Ho again on Fri!

Sleeping Beauty!

It was not easy getting Little Arielle to sleep at night, much less asking her to sleep early. But tonight, she behaved differently. Thought that I would be into some routine cycle again of having to coax her to sleep but I don't have to! After feeding her medication, I gave her her milk and she fell asleep immediately after finishing it.

Hmm, is it because
a. The medication is finally working?
b. She was too tired cos the previous night, she din sleep well?
c. She felt a sense of security now that she is sleeping in my room?

Whatever the reason, I just hope that my beauty can sleep through the night :) Sleep tight....

A Disasterous Morning!

Sigh....what could be worst than clearing up vomit mess in the car early in the morning! It seems to be a continuous of bad luck from last night! Thanks to Little Arielle who decided to puke out her milk in XP's car. From her cough, I kinda of anticipated that the next reaction will be her puke and Bingo! I was right lor!

XP must have been boiling mad and Mummy Me gotta be like a monkey who had to first crawl out of my passenger seat to the back seat, be as agile and quick as possible to wipe off the mess from the car seat.

It was thankful that most of the mess was on Little Arielle's hair, PJ and my cushion :( And, the liquid did not seep into the back seat, else I really don't know how to clear that up! Thank god that I have a set of clothes in my bag. So I changed Little Arielle out of her PJ, placed the dirty PJ and cushion cover into a plastic bag.

And it was also lucky that we were about to reach my mama's house. Immediately when mama opened the door, I passed her everything and I'm off to work. Luckily the smell did not linger in the car. Else the next person to puke will be ME!

Another Disturbing Night!

Just when Mummy Me thought that I can have a good night's sleep to prepare myself for a new work week, I was terribly wrong :(

It first started with me trying to get Little Arielle to sleep. Sometimes I wonder why is it that kids' medication do not have the ability to make them drowsy? Or is it because they are by nature too hyper until the medication doesn't work on them. Anyway, I tried to put her to sleep at about 9pm+. Shortly, she came out and asked for companionship. Well, I got work to do how to accompany her?

So I sent her back to her room and repeated the whole process again. It was quiet for a long time until 11pm+, I saw her popping outside my storeroom again!!! Was really angry and threatened to off the lights if she is not gonna sleep.

Went back to my work to finish off the last bit of stuff before I rest for the night. At about 3am, I heard the knob of my door turning and I guessed as much, this naughty little one sneaked into my room again. As such, I asked her to sleep on the mattress next to me. Within an hour, Little Arielle came up to me and told me that her urine has leaked out. Was glad that her mattress did not kena. Quickly changed her and she insisted to sleep on my bed but at the same time refused to wear her pants. Cannot take her naughty gesture.

Nevermind, I let her be and off the aircon instead. Thought that I can have my next few hours of sleep before daybreak but I was wrong again! At about 5am+, she woke me up and pulled out her diaper. I got so fed up that I asked her to go and look for her daddy instead. I tried to salvage my remainding half an hour of sleep but just when my hand happened to flick onto the right side of my bed, I felt dampness and immediately jumped out of my bed! I knew that that must be Little Arielle's urine! Arrgghhh nothing can describe the feeling that I had -> to kill someone! So mad leh! Gotta force myself to grab a cloth and start cleaning up her mess!

In the meantime, Little Arielle was sent back to her mattress. She finally decided to sleep in but too bad, it's time for her to get up!!!
