Aussie Day 2

Aussie Day 2

Went to pick up the See Sydney card that we bought over the internet. We got the 3 day pass, which is AUD165. It is equivalent to SGD217.50 at that moment for conversion. Heard it's quite worth it to get the card. There are 2 days, 3 days and 1 week pass as well. Since we decided on going to other places during the week, we thought a 3 day pass is good enough for us. You can check it out if you would like to cover many attractions at one go like we did.

We also got the 1 week travel pass. It is very convenient as we do not need to pay cash for bus/ferry/rail wherever we go. Yay! :)

Since baby was sleeping, we decided to take a ferry ride across to circular quay so that we can play oz jet, but he woke up to feed just before we took the oz jet..haha. It is real fun! 'Experience Sydney's Ultimate Jet Boat Adventure with Oz Jet Boating aboard the famous Red Shark Boat. The 1/2 hour Shark Attack Thrill Ride is fast, furious and packed with stunts! Jump aboard and experience Sydney Harbour on exceptionally powerful boats. Ride the waves and see the Harbour's Icons on Oz Jet. It's extreme and loads of fun!' Quoted from www.seesydneycard.com. I tell you, I loved this ride as it was really going at fast speeds! There was seawater splashing at my face and oh boy, I can testify that the water was real salty!

We also went to have yummy seafood along circular quay. As usual, the portions for gigantic!! Four people shared a platter for 2. It was good becoz we had enough space for thickshakes thereafter!

Then we headed down for majestic cruise. It was a relaxing day cruise, about 1 hour around Sydney harbour. It was drizzling. So, it was a nice time to catch forty winks on board the ship. They had a drinks corner too. They were preparing for a private event, so they decorated the place nicely with balloons and all.

Look out for the pictures coming next! :)

Pictures of Australia trip

Yummy potato and soup

As you can see, the restaurant in Aussie serves bigger portion sizes, compared to Singapore. I guess that's one reason why the ang mo people they are more big sized compared to here. I had to share my meal as I wasn't very hungry. Anyway, heard they were famous for their pork ribs and it was yummy-licious! If there was such a word! Hahaha :p

Aussie day 1

On the first day, we went to supermarkets twice! We went to Woolworths and Coles supermarkets which were very near our hotel. Then we went to Paddy's market. We bought many things on the first day; our grocery shopping alone was like $100! We were making the Aussies real happy! Haahaa Baby's diapers and food already cost around $30. So you can imagine 1/3 of the shopping cost was for baby. The rest were for souvenirs and perishables. We bought Huggies for baby as we heard that the homebrand in Australia is not very good quality.

Then we went to a restaurant that sells steak for our dinner. Met friends who has a baby about the same age as BB too! That was cool that BB could meet his own kind of the same age! hahaha

Photos to be posted later! :)

Overseas trip

We are to Aussie land soon! Looking forward to a holiday! Here we come!:)

Baby's picture

My new shirt! :P

Watami restaurant

Went to watami for dinner with friends/loved ones... It was yummy, just the way I like it... I had seafood garlic rice in hot stone. Seafood includes scallops and prawns. Wanted to post more pictures but it seems like this blogging site is not cooperating with me. Anyway there got many branches worldwide. I thought it was a small restaurant at Central, but when I walked further in, I realised it seemed pretty big. Yummy food!

What should be in first aid box

Hope that this article is useful for anyone who want to stock up for emergencies in a first aid box!

Baby stuff

More baby stuff was bought in this shopping spree. Daddy bought a drinking bottle for him as he mention this bottle will enable baby not to spill water everywhere like the previous bottle. We also got baby a cup where he can put his hand in to take the snacks. But when he swings the cup around, the snacks will still be entact in the cup.

Well, today was an accomplishment for him. :) He was able to sit through out the dinner while in a restaurant. Is that cool or what? Well, he had lights and music entertainment, maybe that's why he is so well-behaved? I shall ask him when he knows how to talk. Perhaps he may or may not remember then. Hahaha

Wedding anniversary

We had a wonderful time spending couple time and celebrating our wedding anniversary at Waraku restaurant. Hubby sent a nice little bouquet of flowers with soaps/lotions to use and a soft toy. I think he wants to 'kill 2 birds with 1 stone' with the soft toy becoz he can entertain baby with it too... haahaa

Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful years together... going through thick and thin... Well, may we continue to encourage each other as encouragement inspires courage which transforms ordinary people into extraordinary ones. May we continue to esteem each other as it means to honor and praise. Pastor says praise people generously, even for their smallest achievements. May we continue to uplift each other even when we know the other party is doing something wrong, may we just graciously tell each other about it and not take ourselves too seriously, as we are not perfect. As they say condemn the wrong act but love the person. We shall continue to uphold each other and think the best of each other and do our best to continue to be undefensive because we know we want the best for each other.

Thanks for being so sweet in doing the little things that you know will make me happy. Things like being my P.A. just makes my day. Though u can be a little loud and mean at times, but at the end of the day, I know you still love and care about me. If something or someone will stir us to hate each other, is it worth it to do that? We always joke that too bad no refund. I guess we just have to work at not being so fierce at each other even though we seem to have high standards for each other at times. We just need to work at helping each other get better as we are always a 'work-in-progress product' haahaa But ultimately we should also know that we must not let things steal our joy when things go wrong. We should know that things may happen for a reason but not look too much into the reason. But just continue to walk through it.

Well, if u know me well, I seem to be philosophical at times. Hahaa Really appreciate you and may we continue to keep walking thru thick and thin! :)

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health” (Prov. 15:30, NLT) May this letter brings joy to your heart! ;)

How to calm a crying baby

baby's experience being sick

Well, it happened two Saturdays ago. He was just having a cough. And then suddenly the next day in the wee hours of the morning, he was coughing real badly. He woke up so many times crying that I couldn't sleep well too. Daddy was still thinking of bringing him out. But then when things turned for the worse. Coughing and fever ensued... I brought him to the doc first thing in the morning. The doc only opened from 9am to 12pm on Sunday. So I had to bring him in as soon as possible.

Note that if baby has continuous fever for a few days, it may affect the brain. So it is no joke!!! Well, off we went to the doc. I had some paracetomol for baby, so even though I gave him the med in the morning, it didn't bring down his temperature to normal.

When we went to see the doc, hubby wasn't very impressed bec it was super old school! Haha Firstly, the doc used the strip of colours to measure his temperature, not the electronic type. Secondly, the doc didn't have nets payment, only cash. I guess it's a way to keep operation costs low. So I don't really have any issues with it. Well, he was given phelgm and cough meds, as we had fever med for him already.

That night was again another challenging night for us, he almost woke up every hour! Wow! Mummy had to carry him until her arms ached. Not easy to soothe a sick baby. Even his stuff toy won't do his job, simply becoz baby didn't feel comfy. Off we went to see another doc. Reason is bec the fever was still there and we had a family doc that we saw that was only open during weekdays, not weekends.

That morning at the clinic, baby showed his lung power! He cried till tears came out as if it was the end of the world! There were super powerful cries when the doc used his stethoscope to check him. I guess it was the coldness of the instrument he didn't like. And then the doc mentioned the previous doc was a good doc, but this time he was prescribing antibiotics bec the virus attacked his lungs. Hubby had childhood illness before, so doc say it may be possible that it is hereditary for him to get it too. So it is good to be careful.

After about a day of taking the meds, his fever went down! PTL! I was so glad for him. But he was practically waking up frequently every night when he was not well. He couldn't breathe very well I guess. Doc diagnosed his illness as bronchitis that may lead to other things later on if it is not cured.

After 3 days of taking meds, he suddenly developed rashes all over his body. His face, hands, arms, chest, legs and feet. I was so heartbroken to see that. Even his eye lids were swollen. Picture taken of his eyelids. Some rashes even look like mosy bites, like there was some mosy pandemic. So Sayang... aiyo...

Then we had to go back to the doc as we didn't know what was happening. Apparently, he was allergic to the antibiotics according to the doc. Thus, we had to change the antibiotics so that the rashes can disappear. After one week, when he went to see doc for follow-up/review, his lungs were clear! Whew! So happy. PTL! Really thank God we survived the ordeal. :)

Amazing Nick Vujicic

Jacky Cheung shares

The following paragraphs were extracted from xin.sg. I really identify with what Jacky Cheung says. I thought it was a really good read. Read on(:

In 1996, Jacky registered his marriage to May Lo in London and is a happy father to a pair of daughters. As he moved on to a different phase in life, the singer shared that he grew more mature in thoughts, "After you get married, you begin to think for your family. You will become more open-minded and not think with a one-tracked mind."

With 20 years in the entertainment circuit, the singer has learnt and grown a lot as compared to when he first debuted. "I have gone through happy and unhappy experiences. However because I was doing things I loved doing, I do not have any regrets." At that note, the singer sighed as he talked about the various worries he had, "When you don't have children, you have problems about not having children. When you have children, you start to have problems about your children. A marriage will also have its own problems. Life is in fact filled with many problems."

He poignantly ended off with a thoughtful comment as he shared, "What I have learnt from life is that it is most important for you to be happy with the people around you."

Does this happen to you too?

This is a very interesting video. Perhaps some of us can relate to this, as babies sometimes bite our fingers. :p

Check it out!

G-Force Movie coming soon!

They really have cool gadgets that they use: PDA, grapling hook, head set, monocle, parachute, blow torch, sucker and watch!

There is a few characters I like in G-force:

Agent Darwin: He is the team leader and has an admirable never say die attitude as he is determined at all costs. Well, I really love his kind of attitude because it is not easy hanging on till the end. Dale Carnegie says "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all".

Agent Juaraz: This pig is a martial arts specialist and has brains of the outfit. He speaks good English, Spanish and Guinea. Perhaps many pigs may fall for this pig as he has brains and good looks. What a wonderful combination for a lifetime partner!:)

Agent Blaster: He is a demolition specialist. He is an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and have a love for all things extreme. Reminds me of a friend who likes extreme sports. Haha!


Meet the G Force team on the movie website.




Catch G-Force in cinemas 4th Sep 2009!

Random thoughts

Anyone has any issues with posting pictures on blogspot. I feel my blogspot has been super cranky lately. I think it is probably bec of that, I didnt post any pics lately. Shall I migrate to wordpress?

Hmmm still thinking about it... Shall consult my panel of 'consultants' haahaa

Why I want to watch The Proposal

I have always been a fan of Sandra Bullock. Have watched many of her movies. The proposal is a romantic comedy that we can sit back and enjoy. The Proposal is a serviceable and intermittently funny romance made enjoyable by the sparks between Bullock and Reynolds. It has been a long time since I watched romantic comedies and this is an absolutely perfect excuse to go to watch one!

Recommended for those who also have a stressful week and people who just want to sit back and relax and do something different. And also for those people who love romantic comedies! Just like me! :)

Check the movie out! The Proposal opens in cinemas 20 August 2009!

Finding out cool stuffs for baby

Well, I am going to purchase a Baby carrier called Beco soon. It's really handy and heard that the support is very good. I am really looking forward to getting it so that my back will not hurt so much. Just went for back and shoulder massage recently. It was excellent! The staff at the shop said my shoulder was very stiff. I can feel the strain whenever the area around the shoulders are being massaged.

Not feeling well these days. Hope to have a speedy recovery!

I am going to check out The Better Toy Shop if there are any nice toys for baby when I recover. Well, if I have the time, I shall go and have a look. :D

Yay! I found my wedding ring!

Last week, I had an exceptional blur week! I didn't know where I put my IC and my precious... wedding ring! PTL, I managed to find my IC on Sunday and my ring yesterday on Tuesday. Wow! Somehow I felt I didn't have any identity without these 2 items. Felt a bit lost and troubled the whole of last week. It was a terrible, terrible feeling. Anyway, they were found this week, so I feel better. I know that if i lose my ring, it doesn't mean that I automatically not married anymore... hahaha But it is just a feeling that something sentimental was just lost. Well, I guess someone will have to be in the same situation to know exactly what i mean... haahaa

Just happy happy happy right now! :D

Zombified today... haahaahaa

Well, I had voluntary work yesterday for about 8 hours yesterday. So today fell a bit like a zombie... But I shall press on do finish the tasks I am set out to do. I will jia you!!! :D

Oh yes! Hubby made super delicious pan cakes for breakfast today! Yummy! It's rated 5/5 stars! I am always biased! :D It's a start of a wonderful day! haha

My blog was being flagged

Oh wow! I was wondering why my blog was being flagged... Then I was looking at the help section/forum and saw many people in Singapore had the same thing happening as well.

I wondered what was the criteria on being flagged, thus I looked the help section. It mentioned that if I discriminate or have any of the nudity of any kind, then it could be flagged. But I don't have any of that sort. So I wrote the google forum. Then the next day, the navigator bar shows it is back to normal, as in it is not being flagged. But it is so mysterious, as I did not get a reply, but it is just being unflagged.

Anyway, it is currently back to normal, so I am glad for now.:)

This week was a thought provoking week!

I thought I lost something dear to me this week and may have to pay 300 dollars to get a new one. PTL, I got it back. I was so paranoid because I have not misplaced things like that before. Fortunately all's well that end's well.. Whew!

Oh little baby could finally travel overseas! Yay! We finally got his passport. The lady at the counter kept remarking Oh so cute... haahaahaa I think it's normal to hear that when people bring their babies around, huh... :D Well, baby doesn't seem as excited as we are. Only that he held on to his passport for like 5-10 min until one of the guys working at ICA was telling us that we better not let him hold it, just in case he tears it. And he says that once it is torn, we will have to make a new one as they don't accept torn passports. That's another 75 dollars flying away if that happens. So we decided to be more prudent and take the passport away from him gently.

Oh yummy, we had MacDonalds breaky not far off from ICA building. I think baby was getting hungry because he was looking at us like he wanted some of the food we had too.. hahaha Anyway after that we fed him. We thought that today he had enrichment class but he didn't. The reason is becoz he did sign up for enrichment class and we even had the receipt for the signing up. But the thing is when we went there, the place was still closed. Then we decided to call them a few times until we got them, as we were concerned he may be late for it. But it turned out that the school didn't want to do enrichment classes anymore and wanted to focus more on preschool. We were a bit disappointed. But we couldn't do anything. Anyway, I guess we just have to get a refund from them, so we are still awaiting the supervisor's reply.

Oh well, there goes his enrichment class! We prob wanna try something else for him. We shall look around and see.:D

We got baby a few things during shopping today. We got him a fan protector, collision prevention cushion tape, safety lock device, baby food in bottles, fan for baby. Well, we wanted to get mainly the fan protector so that we will not be too concerned when he goes near the standing fan.:p

We have already got him handle lock for the cupboard and plug switches cover before. Are we baby crazy or what? We have to be I guess... hahaha

Organising Baby's birthday party!

Wooohooo!!! Baby is going to be one year old in one month's time! How time flies!

Planning what to do on that day!

This is a simple list I prepared/things to do: (Helpful for other mums out there too!)
1. Guest list
2. Get a Caterer for food
3. Confirm location
4. Confirm enough chairs - confirm how many people later
5. Buy fanciful cake
6. Get birthday banners/balloons
7. Get a guest book
8. Thinking of whether should do montage for him/just paste photos in album
9. What should I let him wear on his birthday
10. List of things to bring for his meals
11. Shall I set up a place for him to crawl around there?

I need ideas (x10!) haahaahaa

Oh no!!

Oh no!! There's something wrong with my blog.. Can't pose any pictures!:( Was thinking of telling you all about a good promo if you want to change to Mamil Gold milk powder for your kids. Or, if you are still a mamil gold customer, it is good for you too! Simply go to http://www.dumex.com.sg/whats_new_2009/article/2009_back_to_school promo offer.

That is what my baby consumes by the way! :D

update update!!

An update what baby has been doing!

We have been busy! Brought baby for holiday!

Many firsts for baby:
1. First time staying in hotel room; first time crawling around the area in hotel;
2. First time a tent was set up just for BB!
3. First time going to underwater world;
4. First time going into the non-baby pool and he wasn't scared! hahaha
5. First time having breakfast and dinner with us at the same time!

Probably there are more first time stuffs that he did than what is listed here! He was simply amazing because he managed to behave himself most of the time when we were on holiday! So proud of him! Well done baby! :D

Back pain :(

On Saturday, I was carrying baby for quite some time during dinner and at shopping centre. Thus, that resulted in back pains. I prob have a weak back... I had back pains before during the time I carried heavy stuff to work. Thus on Sunday, I went for back massage. Not sure if it's the massage, but I was squirming in pain the whole night and thus cannot sleep well.

Well, if you have back pains, don't play play... Get a doctor's opinion. Like I did... Pray my back will get better:)

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has passed on. Well, I used to watch Michael Jackson on tv quite a bit in the past. All the moonwalk and dance moves were really brilliant! I liked his songs, "Heal the world" and "Black or White". He is a really talented and creative singer.

Well, I guess you can catch them on past records of MTV now. No more live broadcasts. Rest in peace, MJ!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The below writings are By JESSE WASHINGTON, AP National Writer Jesse Washington, Ap National Writer

All his contradictions came through in the song "Black or White."

"As long as you're my baby," the chorus goes, "it don't matter if you're black or white."

Jackson usually came to the studio with his lyrics written down, Bottrell said, but this time he improvised on the spot. They recorded it in one take.

"It just sort of emanated from him," Bottrell said. "Clearly he had that theme in his mind when he started singing."

The song went to No. 1 around the world. The classic video shows Jackson dancing on different continents, and the faces of different nationalities morphing into one another.

And in the end, Jackson transforms into a pitch-black panther.

Could the following news be true?

Could the following news be true? China has the vaccine? If it is, that's awesome! :D If it's not, it may be another news of trash. :( Extracted from swinflufree website.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
China has succeeded in producing the first batch of H1N1 Influenza vaccine :)

According to China Central Television reported that China has successfully produced the first batch of H1N1 influenza vaccine.

The report said that the company officially announced the biological Westlands has successfully produced the first batch of H1N1 Influenza A domestic vaccine, expected in July to conduct clinical trials.

It has been reported that the adoption of the vaccine after the pre-clinical experiments, but also a further 40-50 days to conduct clinical trials, so the real use of vaccines, but also the need two months time.

According to expert explaination, H1N1 influenza vaccines and seasonal influenza vaccine can not be vaccinated at the same time.

Up to now, China has reported a total of 414 confirmed cases of influenza A H1N1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swine Flu is caused by Swine Influenza Virus(referred to as SIV). SIV refers to influenza cases that are caused by Orthomyxoviruses endemic to pig populations. SIV strains isolated to date have been classified either as Influenzavirus C or one of the various subtypes of the genus Influenzavirus A.

Swine flu infects people every year and is found typically in people who have been in contact with pigs, although there have been cases of person-to-person transmission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Guess where they say is the highest chances of getting the pig flu?

Answer: Cabin Toilet, the most high-risk to spread Swine Flu


China's outbreak of swine flu cases came from other countries, the public concerned about the epidemic passenger plane once again, and the spread of the virus problem in the cabin.

The outbreak of swine flu in humans has no travel warning, where is the most saftey position inside the plane?

LO Wing-lok, a specialist of infectious diseases in Hong Kong pointed out that although the cabin ventilation system to operate independently from the top to bottom, but if patients move around, the virus will continue to spread, and the toilet is the most high-risk areas, "Passengers are cough and sneeze inside the toilet without any protection, there must be full of germs, and then other passengers get caught easily. "

Lo Wing-lok also pointed out several rows of seats before and after patients is high-risk areas also. "There have been documented reported that patients with ordinary flu transmission area can be up to as much as before and after the five-row. A class from Hong Kong to Beijing flight during SARS, more patients with infections as far as seven rows of passengers. "Therefore, he suspected if trace only three rows of passengers before and after patients with the controversial area. Should we seat facing the wall?

Lo Wing-lok means that it may not be the most secure, because "If patients sitting behind you, it is easy being affected, unless if you go with your family and occupy a few rows of seats, and it will be more cautious when you sit facing the wall andnext to baby seat. "

Development milestones

I know that baby knows his name already because he will turn to look at you when he sees you calling him.

Another thing he should know by now is the word "no". Becoz sometimes when u say no..
*he'll stop wad he's doing and look @ you... But he will still want to test limits.

This is what I researched on the babycentre website:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Developmental milestones: Understanding words, behavior, and concepts

8 to 12 months
Your baby's beginning to understand simple requests. Say "no" when he tries to touch an electrical outlet, for example, and he'll pause and look at your face — maybe even shake his head "no" in return.

He's also testing your responses to his behavior. He'll throw food on the floor just to see what you'll do, and then file your response in his memory bank. Later he'll test the waters again to see whether you react the same way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn't it interesting? It is as if God made a checklist for babies to follow and that they will do certain things before reaching another milestone. hahaha

Anyway it is usually just a rough guide as to what baby will or will not do yet.:)

Is being a mum easy?

I wonder if anyone thinks being a mum is easy.

Firstly, even though I am really sleepy, I still have to handle baby at night. I guess it really depends on how demanding baby is. Well, my baby is at 9 mths and he still doesn't sleep through the night. Well, when my hand gets better, planning to put him in his own room and then turn the 'sound detector' on so that we can hear him from our room. Currently, he is sleeping in his play pen next to our bed. But when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he is brought to our bed.

Some mums went through the periods of sleepless nights bec baby may not be well and i have heard of cases where the baby wakes up every hour from 3am onwards, till it's time to wake up. It can be quite disruptive.

Well, I guess the only thing we can do is pray he can sleep through the night!:)

First haircut for baby!

We went to PP to cut his hair. It seemed he was going to tear his hair off if we did not go to the barber soon! He kept trying to pull them out! So to save him the agony, we did what most parents would do. Bring him to a barber that specialises in cutting baby's hair!

Can u tell which are the before hair cut and after hair cut photos? :P
