She Vomitted....
Poor thing....please get well soon....
Mission Accomplished
So Disappointed!
Last year, I tried to order from her but I was too late and she was already fully booked :( This year, I was very diligent and sent in my enquiry today. She was also very diligent and replied me that she is unable to take in any orders for Jul onwards as her son is taking PSLE this year and thereafter, they are planning for a holiday. As such, the timing wise might not warrant her time to bake cakes!
I was checking with her again to see if there is any hope and currently awaiting for a positive reply from her! If it is gonna be a NO again, I will have to source for another person liaoz!
Heart Pain!

From slight cough, Little Arielle's cough has turned for the worst. I could hear her coughing out loud in the middle of the night even though I am sleeping in the other room (cos I had slight flu and decided not to bunk in with her).
That whizzing sound really made me feel so sad. But there is nothing that I can do except to monitor what she eats and ensures that she takes her medication on time.
Poor gal....hope that she will recover soon!

Moo Moo Cow!
Well, I did cheong to Isetan but they were not selling it anymore cos it was a one-off sales that they had for Xmas at the atrium. I was pretty upset and was determined to search for it. Went to a few shops and did find similar ones but not the one that I wanted. Finally, I found it in Tampines One but XP felt that it was stupid to pay such a price for a coin bank. In the end, I went around checking if I could exchange some Asia mall voucher so that I can get the coin bank but got no luck in doing so. In the end, I kinda of gave up :(
Today, XP sms me and told me that he bought the exact coin bank that I wanted at only a price of $18. I was so thrilled! When I got home and saw it, I was so delighted! Yes, that's the one that I wanted!
Hee, I specially placed mine next to Little Arielle's one. Not bad leh, she can recognise which one is hers hee and even told me that mine is the mummy of her coin bank hee!
Brave Little Girl
Hmm, I think I'm quite retarded and only realised that Little Arielle was so brave when it comes to taking her medication. Probably I must have treated her like an adult and therefore missed this part and took her for granted.
It was really a breeze when I fed her her medication. She would obediently open her mouth wide, drink up the medication, followed by drinking plain water.
Good girl, my darling! Hope you will get well soon! Your ice-cream is still waiting for you in the fridge :) And please let me have a good night sleep. No more karate kicks okie?
What Was Taught in School
Hmm, so I got Little Arielle to sing what she has been taught! Hahaha, so farnie leh....

Sleepy Me....

Did not have a good night's sleep....all thanks to Little Arielle....
Since she wasn't feeling well, I decided to bunk in with her to ensure that everything is all right. 2 person squeezing in a super single bed was bad enough! What was worst was that I sometimes gotta tahan her karate kicks!
Anyway, that's merely one of the reasons that I couldn't sleep well. The other reason is of course worried about her. It's just an instinct that I will auto wake up almost every 2 hours, just to check and make sure that she is sleeping well and there is no sudden feverish feel. Luckily, she had a good sleep. Hmm, at least I think so! But not for me :( Waiting for weekend to come and hopefully she will not be the live alarm clock again!

Little Arielle is Sick :(
Caught a cold and was coughing away since yesterday. Thought that it was just a itch nose which would go away after a while but it continued throughout the day.


Hmm not sure if she has caught the germs from XP? Anyway, he brought her to Dr Ho and was given some medication for cough, flu, a drip for block nose and for her eyes. Total damage = $55
Hope that she would be well soon....luckily no fever and she still wants to go to school!

Things Required by the School
Because of this, we had to specially go down to Parkway to develop the photos and buy the required items.
We went out at about 5pm+ in my FIL's car. He dropped us at Parkway as he was on his way home after spending about 5 hours at my place!
1st thing we did was to send the photos for developing, followed by doing some window shopping, dinner and at last, bought Little Arielle's tumbler and the last item - toothbrush at NTUC. Got all the necessary errands done and we were on our way home.
Actually Little Arielle had mild cold and slight cough. I was quite worried that she might not be able to make it for school tomorrow. Hmm, was this caused by her wet bed or is it due to her chickenpox vaccine? Hopefully, she is well enough for school tomorrow. Gave her a dose of the fever medication before sending her off to bed.
While she slept, I quickly went to search for the sticker name which we made for Little Arielle 3 years ago! I still remembered that it was made because we were lazy to write her name and our names on the Bengawan Solo voucher (to be given during her full month celebration). As such, we had our names printed on stickers and it was so much easily to paste than to write! There were a lot of leftovers and I was so happy that I finally found it today after searching for almost 2 days for it!
尿床了
Little Arielle did not want to put on diapers for her afternoon nap. She promised her daddy that she would wake up if she wants to pee. Apparently I have doubt for her words. But since her daddy was confident that she can make it, I just let her be.About 2 hours + later, I suddenly hear cries from Little Arielle's room and out she came, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was not wearing her panties and we immediately understood what has happened.
She was guilty that she has wetted her bed. My FIL was around and he quickly took her mattress and blanket and sun it under the scorching sun. XP quickly brought Little Arielle to wash up and consoled her.
Hee hee my guess is right! And yes, what happened to the waterproof mattress that Mummy Me promised to buy? Opps, it's still in my shopping list!
Live Alarm Clock

Right now, I don't have to worry about over-sleeping over the weekends. Hmm, in fact I shouldn't be worrying cos it's weekend! Weekend is the time for us to sleep in since we have to get up so early during weekdays. However, our live alarm clock aka Little Arielle doesn't give us such a chance.
She would come in before 9am and says 天亮了! Well, it's an indication that we gotta wake up! Thanks....live alarm!

The Chickenpox Jab!
Did the routine i.e. take temperature, weight and height before seeing Dr Ho. Here's a slideshow taken before her turn!
And....here's the video clip when she's inside Dr Ho's room :)

1st Day in School
It was quite a challenge when it comes to wearing socks. Since young, Little Arielle din really like to put on socks as it would make her feet warm and uncomfortable. After I put on her socks for her, within the next few minutes, she was already making noise and wanted to remove it. Had a hard time convincing her to wear until XP gave in when we were in the bus.
However, Little Arielle promised XP that she would wear it when we are about to reach. Indeed, she kept her promise and wore her socks herself :)
As we were a bit late, we had to walk very fast. Wow, what a rush! Hengz ah....we were in time. It took a while for the teachers to open the door. Once the door is opened, the little ones were brought in one by one by the teacher. Most of them, including Little Arielle walked in happily. Of course, some were still blur and did not know what is going on. There were some who were sobbing away and the teacher had to carry them in. The last two who went in was the worst! One of them was kicking her legs and struggling to come down. The other screamed at the top of her voice! Faintz....I was glad that Little Arielle did not behave in that way when she walked in. However, I was afraid that she would be affected by the other kids and cry along with them. I tried to peep from all angles but did not manage to see anything at all. I was quite worried and wanted to tell the teacher that I want to go in and take a look. But, the parents of the crying kids are not making such request and it seemed ridiculous for me to do so! So, sadly I left after they gathered all the kids and locked the door.
3 hours passed by quickly and I was happy to be able to pick my darling up. Mama and I were there about 10 minutes before class is dismissed. We waited patiently outside the door. Finally, it was opened and what I liked about the school was that they would call out the name of the child at the doorstep and the parent will come forward to "claim" them. This is to ensure the safety of child. Great responsibility of the school!
Anyway, my girl is finally out! Check out the video that I have got! One and only one :)

Boy, I was glad that she enjoyed herself today! And learnt how to say,"Good morning, teacher" Hopefully, her English will improve tremendously :)

Hmm....initially, I thought that she can really make it. Got this little achievement after 15 minutes but I was too quick to pass the judgement. She din wanna continue after a while and went on to play her other toys!
Verdict is = Mission failed :( Probably this is a big jump i.e. from 40 pieces to 94 pieces for her and she is losing patience. Perhaps will let her try again some time later :)

It's Crazy!
Woke up in the morning, need to feed XP his medication, go out and buy breakfast for him. But before going out, I gotta change my girl out of her pyjamas and get her ready. When she is ready to go, gotta rush to buy breakfast and quickly come back.
Once back, gotta settle XP with his breakfast, followed by Little Arielle's food. Only when both have eaten, it was then my turn to eat. Straightafter I finished my breakfast, I gotta clear up the place, bath Little Arielle and get ready to buy some grocery and lunch.
Had to bring Little Arielle else she would be barking XP at home and deprive him of his rest. Took a bus to Parkway with Little Arielle as I need to get some stuff from NTUC. I found myself to be a superwoman as I was able to carry back 1 tin of 1.8kg milk powder, 5 apples, 1 tube of Yakult, 2 cartons of HL milk, 1 pack of 4 small milo and 1 bottle of mositoriuser. On top of that, I gotta hold on to my packet of porridge + Little Arielle's hand.
The journey from NTUC to the bus stop was torturing! I can feel my arms breaking but I gotta tahan :( Luckily there were empty seats at the bus stop and I can rest my items there for a while. Thank god that there was seat on bus for Little Arielle else I think I gotta perform acrobatics by balancing my items, myself and Little Arielle.
The moment I reached home, put down my stuff, gave XP his medication, made Little Arielle her milk, sort out the groceries, wash the dishes, gave XP his lunch, tuck Little Arielle for her afternoon nap. After all these are done, I am now taking a breather!
After blogging, I gotta hang the laundry, drink some water (damn thirsty), probably eat lunch (if I have the mood), tidy up the place and get ready XP's tea break. Faintz....
One can really die in Singapore and cannot fall sick!

Turn of Events
Without further delay, I brought him to Eastshore hospital for a check. The nurse took his blood pressure and got him to lie on bed. He was given a jab and asked to rest on the bed for a while. Immediately after the jab, he vomitted :(
I guessed he could have felt better after the puke. Anyway, while he was resting, I bought something to eat at Delifrance. Little Arielle was teary when she saw XP lying on the bed. She made me almost drop a tear too. I was so touched when at such tender age, Little Arielle know what is going on. She can understand the meaning of death and I hope this would make her treasure her loved ones and not take things from granted. From time to time, she would hold on to her daddy's hand and helped to cover his blanket. And luckily there was Kungfu Panda showing on HBO which took some attention away from Little Arielle. Else she would be making a lot of noise and kpo-ing around.
The doctor came by to check and XP was still not feeling good. The dizzy spell is still with him. Doctor mentioned that he would give him the medication and put him on a drip to hydrate him. Just as well, since he din eat anything since morning.
The nurse did not do the pricking well the first time and XP's finger was so painful. Sensing that the situation is not right, I requested the nurse to prick the needle on XP's left hand instead. This time round, it was better and he was on the drip. He felt cold constantly and we covered him with the blanket. He was given a stronger dose of medication and while the nurse was injecting it into him, she told us that this cost $120! Faintz....She thought that the doctor would have already told us. Apparently, there was no mention. I jokingly mention that if that is the case, can we extract the medication out?
After XP was given the second pack of drip, his condition does not seem to have improve. The nurse came by and gave him another shot of the medication. I quickly ask if this would cost another $120 and she said it's part of the amount. Phew....I then jokingly asked if we could pack a few shot back hee....
About an hour later, the doctor came and checked on XP. He is still feeling giddy and the doctor suggested to admit him as this is unusual. Most patients with such symptons would have been better when they are given the first shot of medication.
I was worried and asked him what could be the worst sceanario? He mentioned it would either be stroke of the brain or a growth in the ear. Such terms really scare the shit out of me!
I went to see to the admission procedures and really understand what our fellow Singaporeans feel about being sick in Singapore. You can really die and cannot be sick!
The staff told me that I need to place a deposit of $3k. General stay of 2 days would incur an estimated amount of $3k. Of course this would vary, depending on the treatment received during the stay. Faintz....this is really a killer! I got a bit worried cos both of us don't have any medical insurance except for that useless MSH. But, to ensure the safety of XP, there is no other choice but to admit him.
After the procedure is done, I told XP about the estimated cost. He was shocked too and requested not to be admitted. I told him that if he is really not well, he should let the doctor have a thorough check. He mentioned that he is much better and from his look, I share the same sentiments. At least, he can talk more and can walk on his own compared to the situation when we first came in.
He told the doctor that probably the effect of the medication was slower, that's why he was still unwell earlier on. In any case, we are staying nearby and would return if his condition gets bad.
After getting his prescription and paying $400+ for the 5 hours stay there, we left the hospital.
We packed food home and XP went to sleep after that. My whole day is just gone. What a start of the year :( I hope that XP would recover soon....

Counting Down to Fireworks & 2010!
This year, since we have not got our new car yet, we would be taking a bus to Marina area and catch it together with the crowd! How exciting....
Read on my next post for the details!
Taking A Risk!
When it's time for nap this afternoon, Little Arielle did not want to wear the diaper. She promised XP that she would wake up and pee if there is an urge. Well, XP gave her the benefit of doubt.
I was doubtful....went in to check once and everything was clear. Some time later, I asked XP to check and heng ah....it was clear too!
And after about 2hrs, she was up with no slight drop of pee. Phew!
All right, I will get the protector and start training her soon....

To the Library!
The library is just a 10 mins walk from my house. Little Arielle was very excited when we reached. She quickly went to the shelf and grabbed a book for me to read to her. The librarian was very strict and did not allow any photography in the library. I was wondering, what's wrong with taking pic there? There are no secrets wat? Anyway, she must have heard the "click" sound and saw me taking pic. That's why I managed to take one shot. Hmm....I shall try my luck again the next time hee!
In all, I read 3 books there and borrowed 7 books home.
*4 Chinese books and 3 English ones* - Uploaded on 30th Dec 09She was so excited that she made me read out 2 stories to her when we got home!

求求你
求求你, 我可以睡在你的房间吗?" With such a sweet voice and pathetic look, no one can simply said no to her!
As such, without second thought, I agreed to her request! Little Arielle will once in a while make such a request but never once did she go down on her knees to do so. I'm really surprised that she will use such tactic to touch our hearts! Or I should say, to melt our hearts instead.
Anyway, most of the time when she wanted to sleep with us, we would say no. Yesterday, she sneaked into our room at about 4am+ and we got no choice but to tuck her in with us. Today, she is cleverer! She just need to make the request outfront and she will be spared of the need to sneak into our room. How come this gal is so clever? I wonder? XP din teach her leh....neither do I!?!?

Superb Memory!
But, when it comes to other things, you can be amazed by how good her memory is! Just like today, we were walking past Katong Mall when she suddenly told me, Mummy, remember we were here the last time! And yes, we were really here, with her listening to someone telling stories. And when we passed by Boon Tiong Kee, she would said, remember we ate here the last time. Yup, these events actually happened like, weeks or even months back and she can remember!
What can I say....

A Boring & Rainy Sunday
Nevermind, I have made plans to go Orchard to see the Xmas lightings. We havent really caught the lightings yet. Who knows, my PIL came along and ruined all my plans. They stayed around for a while and needless to say, Little Arielle refused to take her afternoon nap. When they went off, it was almost 4pm. Little Arielle then wanted to sleep and thereafter, it started to pour!
Arrgghhh....there goes my Sunday :(

We are flying....
Wanted to bring her to HongKong Disneyland but we were too late and did not managed to secure good dates and price. As such, to make up for this, we are going to Thailand instead and staying in Baiyoke Hotel! Probably we will go HongKong and Taiwan next year!
Anyway, the hotel is the tallest one in Thailand and we will be staying between level 64th to 74th. The view must be damn great and we are looking forward to it!
This stay will also allow us to celebrate Mummy Me's birthday and Xmas!
Yeah....we will try to report again when we are there!

Meet Disney Characters @ Vivo
Mummy Me happened to talk to Auntie Irene and found out that she too has the pass but it is for 12th Dec (Sat). Her hubby is comptemplating if he wants to bring her girl for the shoot. If they are not going, Little Arielle will have hope.
But I got a feeling that there is no HOPE....Will see how then....

Xmas Comes Early....
But too bad, she will not get to open it cos Mummy Me told her that it will be "parked" under the Xmas tree until Xmas Day!!
Hmm okie lah....Mummy Me got a surprise when XP bought me a new hp when I reached my mama's house! Everyone is saying it's TIME I got a new hp :)
Anyway, first thing that I got Little Arielle to do when she is home is to put her prezzies under the tree. Check it out ->

Damage Made :(
Without me noticing, Little Arielle just pulled the newspaper advertisement off my fridge! The magnet that was holding it was flung off the fridge and landed on the floor. I was so upset when I found out that the right leg of the penguine broke! What was more upsetting is that I couldn't find the broken leg!
I was so angry that I tore the newspaper up and Little Arielle got a smacking from XP and me. And why I was so upset is because this is the first gift that XP gave to Mummy during the "courting" stage!
[Afternote: till date (09 Dec), the leg remains unfound :( Dustin has been searched and the whole kitchen has been combed but still not found. Where has it gone?]
