Seth was really in his very first flow of tantrums throwing today. He wakes up at 8am and Olive Tree brought him to my mom's while I stayed home to do my work. On the way, Olive Tree called me and told me that Seth refused to go to my mom's and started to whine and cried from CTE exit Ave 5 till they reached my mom's place. Even my mom called me and commented that Seth was in his moods and disallow her to close the main door but to leave it open as if to expect us to pick him up. ("o) We have no idea why such behavior of him. So I said I will try to come over once I manage to complete my work. However, he went through the day ok and by the time I finished my work from home, it was already 3plus. I went to meet AM for tea and my lunch at amk hub. Reaching my mom's around 6pm. Seth was ok. However, during dinner time, he was super sticky to Olive Tree. Refused to get down and wanted to sit on his lap while Olive Tree ate dinner. So his tantrums throwing starts from t...

20th April, Friday, was our appointment for detailed scan at TMC. We were expecting a longer than usual U/S Scan to get measurements of our baby. When we were inside the room, the radiologist get set to take all measurements and then she said, "Hmmm, it's a female". Both Olive Tree and I thought we heard wrongly, maybe she had uttered, "do you prefer a female?" or something like that. I told the radiologist that previous U/S by our gynae, I saw there was a Penis and maybe a scrotum. She said she will do the scan to confirm again after all the measurements are done. Ok, so the conclusion came after 20 minutes, and she explained to us how come the genitalia was determined as female. She had seen 3 lines (depicts_ labia) So can't be wrong. If it's wrong, then must tell Gynae to let her know.hahaha... Can you imagine how I felt!? Especially when I got the confirmation? Olive Tree were smiling and trying to contain...the joy. Me? I was thinkg, "Oh manz! ...

Morning Tim Sum @ Kluang Car Trip Napping... Look at the lashes, wish I have those length Are we there yet?? Interesting Signboard. Kind of like asking, Hotel Or Kid? If you need to make choices in life, don't forget to drop by Choice Shop, may you make your right choice there! (",) Finally, our destination. about 1.5 hours drive from Kluang. Streets filled with Chicken Rice Ball Restaurants. This is one of them. For the Pocket Conscience, choose this one from the first restaurant. We end up going to this Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant. Why? Because there was such a long queue. haha! SIL said they served better food compared to the previous we saw. These were what we have ordered. Spread of chicken and rice...balls.... The balls were light fish balls size, with melt in your mouth feeling. Alas! It lacks of ginger taste. Up close and personal. VERDICT : The ball is ok, Chicken too rubbery, Vegetables were nice.

Seth started his running nose this afternoon, my brother Jon was babysitting him as mom went to Johor. It was pretty exaggerating when Jon smsed me that he has been cleaning Seth's nose so frequent that he never use so much tissue ever since staying in his new home....hiaz. When Olive Tree and I went to pick him, poor boy, he does have trickling of mucus and eyes were watery. He did not manage to nap in the day and was really tired. We went to the PD and got him the running nose medication, head for dinner @ Jln Kayu. Just coincidentally, that there was a marine fish shop so Olive Tree checked out if they have clown fish, since Seth has been wanting to get a NEMO. Seth was all perky and excited about the new pet Olive Tree got him and also, we got a Tomato Clown Fish to accompany his NEMO. So this was what happened when we got home.

Since a long weekend, we decided to take a short trip up to Malacca and Kluang (Marg's hometown) Just feel like getting out of SG and have a break. We left SG during lunch time on April 6 in Jon's car. Since half a day has gone, we went to Kluang first, checked into the hotel and relax ourselves. This will be a 2nd trip for Seth and me, whereas Ed has not been to Kluang before. It's a small little town of probably 240 thousand population. It's in the middle of Johor. Kluang is quite like SG in the 1970s, still not very developed. We stayed in the tallest hotel/building of Kluang, which is 14th Storey high. Here's a little read up of Kluang if you are keen to know more. Taken from the Hotel's View Morning view of Gunaung Lambak Snippets of Seth in the morning...lazy day.... In the car, rod trip to Malacca, isn't that uncle looking? Okie, need to rest my PB and also my tired mind...hee...will update with more photoes of our trip and happenings. May the week ...

Went to the Gynae's today to check on the spotting. Felt upset when I realise the spotting comes on Wednesday evening while I was working from my bro's place. As I was rushing to complete work. Anxiety filled my mind and I just can't help it. It's really a blessing to have friends around to comfort and I was shown with this Psalms Psalm 103 A Psalm of David. 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s Thanks to AM, who shared this verses with me. A verse that i know so well but have not be meditating and proclaiming. I went to the gynae to check out my spotting. Was administere...

Yes, neglected the updates of Seth, what's going around at home, at work. Quite a fair bit has happened. Close friends would have known and I really thank God for faithful friends and sisters whom comforted and encouraged me during the time of trial. The episode starts off when I start falling sick frequently, worse came after March 18th, when I had a period of high for a week! That's terrible, felt aching, fever just simply to go away and not well to assume anything. Being out of office for a week proved to be disastrous I guess. Till date, I still have 322 mails not read in my mailbox! HA! The body has taken a toll, mentally, i am weak. Got to admit it, maybe the stress at work wasn't for me. I went back last week to complete outstanding tasks, (too many!!!!) and also trying to cope with so much requests from customers, traveling around, delivering documents. But I wasn't well yet, had diarrhea and vomit so nightly since last Wed till Friday. Boss, was picking on sma...

as i chased Seth out of the room and brought him over to my mom's room to put him in Sarong Swing to sleep. He has been crying none stop for half an hour and nothing pacify him. I am stressed out that he kept crying just felt so frustrated and couldn't help not to shout at him. Yes, I am not a good parent. But I can't manage the stress that I am going through..... So Seth went to sleep with my mom, which is better, and end up, I can't sleep! Ok, I need the energy to brave through the days to complete the very impending tasks and daily getting chased by clients to do INVOICING!!! DAMN! Even work till late evening can't complete my tasks, so how incompetent I am? Thanks to Jen who is there to lend the listening ears and comforted me. I really need to rest. For the no. 2 and myself. I neglected the no. 1 and no. 2, still not a good parent. How can I be? Technorati Tags: seth

This was taken at Kluang. In the hotel room, Seth and Jurnus sharing the biscuits. So cute and sweet to share the biscuits. :) Another one here, Jack and the 2 kiddos. Playing outside the Restaurant where the dinner is held. I like these photoes lats as they captured the fun moments and Jack trying to balance the both of them. I am pissed but am getting over it now. All I can blame is, the idiotic CO and OC. What the #!(% to have made Olive Tree so darn tired and then going to be staying in for the whole 2 weeks and counting. What welfare for married and NSMen with kids......all full of bullshit! Poor Seth, cried for half an hour looking for his daddy. I feel hopeless. :( Technorati Tags: seth

This weekend wasn't very pleasant for me. Too eventful and heart attacks happenings. We were at Kluang for Jon's and Marg Wedding Dinner yesterday. In the morning, Seth broke my glasses, I got splinter as long as 2 cm went through my thumb. Fuming hot with such a bad happening. Of course, I would not want this to spoil the happy occasion of my bro's wedding. Trip went pretty ok. I was the photographer for them for the day and night. Captured many shots. Some which I was pretty pleased with. Though tiring but it's fruitful and things for them went on quite smoothly. When dinner was about to finish, and they went round to toast to the relatives, I was taking the photoes. Darn at the moment, my digital camera reflect ERR 02! I was in shocked! I saw the flash and then I off the digital camera again. Total horror, the displayed shown "ERR CF" I almost fainted and my face in total dejection. I told my eldest bro, Jack and his face, "went crooked"!!! OH MAN...

Woke up at 2.45am due to Seth's crying. Thereafter, he would cry in intervals of 10 mins or such. aiyo. End up, can't sleep and surf the net doing this and this . Downloaded a few softwares for my E61. Have been so under utilising it. I guess by now, I am pleased with one think on my E61 is I can get Windows Live Messenger to work and do IM! YEH! I need to really sleep now as tomorrow gonna be a long day for me. :D Since I am trying to be the photographer! Oh and before I go, I went for my check up to day at my gynae's. :D BB is now 73mm in length. All is good and really active too. :) Bouncing and all, Detailed scan will be done on 20th April. Adrian to me to discuss with Ed is to do the Maternal Serum Screen (Something like that lar). If need to I have to do the test in 15-16weeks. Mood: Happy and Excited! Technorati Tags: mummy's tots

Woke up a sleepy head. Such a cooling weather, rain spattering on the ground and I so wanna stay home to laze and not to work. Flu starts to come back again, whole night blocked nose and slept with the tissue inserted up my nostril!! URRGH! To clear the blcok nose and running tape of mucus. YUPZ Gross am I? Olive Tree came back late last night. In fact, I was so overjoyed till he said he may not come back cause of one stupid NSMan went home attend C and forgot to return his weapon to the store. So all have to wait for the guy to go back camp and return the weapon and then book out! Super rigid and due to one fellow! Olive Tree managed to come home half past midnight. At least, I get to see him for that few hours before he left for camp again at 6 this morning. Otherwise, this whole week I will not bee seeing him! Not use to it lar.... Another 2 more work days to go, torture. Why now I find it's totally torture to step into office? As I have to be so desk bound and clear all the pap...

without Olive Tree around.... Tough. Funny as it can be, after being married for so long, I still miss him and having him around even knowing that he is in Singapore serving the nation....(so patriotic lei!) Honestly, miss him and so does Seth. At night when he wakes up, he'll look for his daddy. Maybe he is still young and may not express his missing. But when Olive Tree called, he would call him "DADDY" so loud.... so cute. Work did not really start off good this Monday when boss wanna do a bit of micro-management due to the complaint by customer via email. (Though customer claimed it's good intention kind of letting my boss know I may be overload) but now it seems I have to swallow the poison and just work and work with promptness and make sure no delay to customers to avoid more complaints. Sianz. Seth is disturbing again and me trying to type as fast as I can before he starts to type incoherently??? kekekeke... Can't wait for the weekend to come so that I can...

Oh ya, and finally after a super long break, a month plus, I am bloggin again... donkey years, isn't it? What can I say? Being in my 1st trimester, I feel tired so easily and lethargic. Forgoing my addiction to scrapbooking for months!! I can't believe it. Mojoless for sooo long, I feel so darn bad about the stash I have and hoarding still. Only occasionally, I would do little tag cards for friend's kids' birthdays..... ya, once or twice. I miss scrapbooking and my crop buddies! Anyway, a very happy chinese new year, though it came a bit late. At least, I resolute to take a family photo each month, I am not lazy about it. I believe I've neglected loads of things and also with work loading on my shoulders, I am left with little breathing space as well. My 1st Trimester for this little bean in me is really filled with dreams after another dreams. Especially, dreamt of the weirdest things, about work, about things that I've thought too long in the day. Crazy. I tol...

I resolute to take a monthly family photo for year 2007. :D So neglecting the family photoes. I used to snap a few for 2006 but not sufficient to capture the stages of our family life. This is by far, the better shot of the lots that I've taken as Seth is in his happy mood today. When asked to look into the camera, he was smiling all the way till the light flashed. We went to National Museum of Singapore . I've never been to the Museum for whole of my life. I always felt a pity when they closed the Museum for renovation. Love the experience of going there. Admiring the visage of the old and new wing. Fabulous building. :) You should drop by some day to check it out. this is one fun thing we did at the museum new wing. The video capturing the visitors image and portray on the screened wall as long as 2 table tennis tables. hee....nice, I like it. Roaming around the visage, you enjoy the natural lighting as the new wing are built with glass panels. Nice cafe and chill out place ...

Classic look of Seth, when he is going to poo, he'll look this way....... *hhahahahah* ya, like real. He loves to do this action, when he is very excited! But he also knows that when he can't poop, we'll look like this with him, just to motivate his bowel movements. We are at Island Cafe, Vivocity. He was enjoying the scenery outside the cafe. Traffic going by, people walking and smoking outside, and he can't help but keep waving and smiling at them. We walked lots today. Morning went to town, Takashimaya and then head down to United Square. Got his laptop changed. After which went to Vivocity to buy him his rocking horse. He has so many rides now at home. His birthday gifts; tricycle from the scrapbook gals. doggie motorised ride from Lynn & Lai Soon. Antz ride which we bought for him before he was born. Newly acquired, 911 coupe from little tikes (daddy's Xmas gift for him) rocking horse from little tikes (seeing him loving and refuse to move from the ride we ...

That's the meaning for Seth. Whenever he sees purple now, he'll say, "barney". It's really fast, a week, last week of the year, of Dec is coming to an end. That's really amazing how our year have passed. for the last week of Dec the recap about Seth's milestone as follow: 1. talks a lot like, "bye, barney" "bye, car car" (to his new little tikes ride) "bye, xxx" (he starts to speak in 2-3 words) "raining", "wet", MRT (not really clear) "Where, Taxi?" "Where, XX" (XX = People) "Khim Khim" (Marg) "Lock Hoh" (Teochew for raining) "Mai" (Teochew for don't want) "dancing" "Zai Jian" "1-2-3" Oh, my brain too slow to recall all but he is really talketive. Aiyo.... Besides, he starts to have his "xing ge". When he is being scolded, he'll show the "black face". When you l...

So happy to see my 2nd elder bro, Jon getting married on 23rd Dec. It was a joyous occasion which was celebrated by close families and friends. Took lots of photoes and hopefully they are up to mark for the newly weds. Their Wedding is going to be held on 18th March 2007. Seth had a tremendous time at the beach front restaurant. The very busy boy was spotted with a pink floral top. He ran up and down the ramp, laughters resounding when seeing his god-sis jumping up and down, trying to get the helium filled balloons from the ceiling. The kids were happily releasing most of the helium filled balloons up into the sky. It's not everytime, we get to do that, isn't it? Can see that my mom and Marg's mom is getting along pretty well and chatted happily. First time, we met the family of Marg. They were such nice people and with such humility. The daddy is very smily too. Jon's so blessed with a beautiful wife who is so friendly and loving towards him and the family. May they ...
