My 28th Birthday (Part 1)

My goodness im actually 28 years old this year,cant believe time actually passes so fast after you turned 18.This year is a special year for me as it is the first time i will be spending my birthday with my darling precious baby-Jairus.Of cuz not forgetting my sweetheart munn.Birthday celebrations used to be held in disco with several crazy hours of dancing and drinking or in ktv singing for hours.Those were the days now im definitely too old for that!

Now to me the best birthday celebration is spending time with your loved ones over makan sessions.I cherish my family and friends alot.This year i co- celebrated my birthday with xueying at Garden Slug.Wow the table was filled with 13 adults and 5 kiddos,we could hardly interact with each individual however we still had a great time laughing and crapping over lunch.Food was not too bad however i guess the air con was not really working hence the place was quite warm and a few of us were actually perspiring away.Baby jairus obviously does not know is mummy birthday and attention on him was more than the birthday gal herself.lol.

In the evening, we went to paragon with mummy and sisters for dinner.After much thinking we finally decided to tried the imperial treasure super peking duck.Yes the name itself reveal we were there for the DUCK.To be frank everyone commented the duck was great however as i was recovering from a cold i could hardly taste anything,what a pity.The place looks nice the ambience was good however i was not very pleased with the service though.Hubby orded a soup n it did not come and when we asked the service staff, he insisted we did not order,i was rather pissed and it took them real long to serve us the soup.Well since we are paying so much  i expect better  service!hmmm the duck was great but a few other dishes was disappointing,i actually ordered a dish with a fanciful name and to my horror it was actually yong tau foo.Goodness and we paid 20 plus for five piece yong tau foo,i felt conned.Another disappointing dish was the nan ru zhu rou,yuck, it was a deep fried dish and the pork was so fat and oily,we cant taste the nan ru and yes we did not even finish that dish.
After dinner,we walked ard paragon and we decided to go to bakerzin for dessert and coffee,we had a great time taking pic with one another and chit chatting, the evening was lovely.Thank god for sisters!it feels so good to be the youngest as my two sisters do dote on me alot and of cuz everyone loves Jairus!

The Sze Tohs are down..

Baby Jairus has not been sleeping well these few nights,on 25th Aug, wed night he actually zzz at 11 plus and woke up at 2am.Afterwhich he refuses to go back to bed hence poor mum had to play with him till 4 plus.I was not in deep zzzz hence i could hear his voice in my room.I chided him for being naughty  and grab him back to my room so that mum can have some decent sleep as she still need to work the following day,Back in my room the little bub still refuse to zzz,i did not play with him and just watch him quietly by the side.He finally KO around 6 plus in the morning,It has been a long time since jairus wake up and play in the wee hours.After  he turned 3 mths each night he will zzz around 1o -11 plus and will only wake up for milk at night,hence i find his behaviour was abnormal.

27th  Aug,Thursday after mum left work,i found jairus to be extremely sticky to me, he wants to be carried most of the time and i thought he was quit feverish.However as he was still able to eat(appetite reduced) n smile and play i thought he was fine.After my tuition tat night,we  even brought jairus and joey down for a walk.About ten plus we put him to zzz.Suddenly he woke up from his zzz crying very badly and unconsolable,both daddy and i tried carrying and pacifying him but it did not work.he was crying and coughing till he threw up and that was the point we decided to rush him to KK hospital.

 By the time we reach KK it was 12 am and to my surprise he was running a temperature of 38.9 my goodness it was actually a high fever!slap forehead how could i fail to notice my baby is so sick and worse i did not even take his temperature.while waiting for the doc i was sponging him and the doc advised
him to be admitted as jairus has not been drinking much and they r worried that he might be dehydrated.by the time he was in the ward it was 3 am, he was extremely tired and irritable and couldnt stop crying when the nurse carried him.Poor daddy had to drive home and bring both baby and my barang to the hospital.while waiting for daddy, i carried jairus in my arms thats when he fell asleep.I did not zzz the whole night as i was sponging him and at 6am his temperature 39.1.He has started coughing and sneezing too.

the next day he did a head scan,a blood test and a nose swab and the results show that he is down with viral infection and it will take him a few days to recover.anyway we were glad that he need not be put on drip and was able to discharge on saturday evening.However by saturday i could feel that im falling sick too and yes i fell sick for the next few days tooo however as i still need to take care of him, i had to put on a mask as im afraid to spread the bug to him.However i felt extremely tired and weak the next few days.Thank god daddy was on child sick leave hence he was able to take care of jairus if not i do not think i will be able to cope.

Hee hee just when i was recovering,it was daddy's turn to fall sick again.sigh.

Jairus is Four months old...Open Ur Mouth Pls...

Baby Jairus is now 4 mths old and he just had his second jab recently,thank god this time round they applied some numb cream on his thigh and therefore it was not as painful compared to the first round.Jairus had been drooling alot and he simply loves to chew and suck on his fingers or anything that he can get hold of...PD said Jairus is doing well and he might be teething soon..After the visit to the PD,daddy and i finally brought him to punggol plaza for a SHAVE...i love jairus hair however he has been shedding alot recently and if we do not chop off his hair guess is gonna be patchy real soon.My heart ache as the lady shaves his head...but silly jairus was still smiling away on daddy's legs. ANyway he is now a cute little botak and i cant wait for his hair to grow.

LAst night,daddy and i bought him some fruit puree and we attempted to feed him.My goodness introducing food to a baby is indeed very challenging,guess u gonna be real patient.It was so messy,the food was everywhere as he spits out the food each time we try to feed him.He had this funny expression on his face which was really cute guess the puree was sourish as it was pear and apricot flavour.Throughout the whole feeding session we went "Jairus open ur mouth,open...."for countless times and yes we realised we might have to get a high chair real soon.

My darling boy is growing at an amazing rate...thank god for this beautiful gift and creation...

Jairus FIRst DIp!

We finally bought an inflatable pool for baby Jairus as we decided not to sign up any package with Baby spa.The pool is rather huge and thank God we managed to fit it into out master room toilet.Daddy is a good swimmer whereas mummy is not and i really hope Jairus will love the water as well.I really wonder why is it after 4 years mummy still has not pick up swimming from hubby.Perhaps my resolution for 2011 is to master swimming!baby Jairus looks so adorable in those swimming trunks!check out my two babies in the pool,

cookyn with Mervyn

Oh well is Ying hens night and she decided to celebrate it in the kitchen!it hs been a long long since we had a all girls date,no husbands,no kids.just the seven of us.Well initially we wanted to  meet at NYDC for a coffee seesion before proceeding to cooking,never did i expect that the girls will end up ordering so much food.In order to save my stomach for the meal later in the night i only had a cup of tea.Within that hr or so we had so much fun chatting,gossiping and catching up with one another.We laughed so much that stomachs were hurting and tears were rolling dwn.i was missing baby jairus n hubby though.
Anyway we spent the next few hrs in Mervyn kitchen and we whipped up the following dishes:
a. marinated hokkaido scallop sashimi with avruga caviar and truffle oil
b. roasted chicken leg with honeyed feta cheese
c. pasta with tiger prawns tossed in laksa cashew nut pesto
d. dark chocolate mousse with assorted berries
It was an awesome and memorable night!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Munn turns 33 this year and as he needed to attend a course on that day we could only do dinner that eveing,However we had celebrated his birthday with my parents on sunday and also with his parents on monday.

This year i made a reservation at EN dining (Japanese restaurant ) as i know munn loves japanese cusine however i kept it as a secret and all these while i told him we are going for banger and mash hee hee.YEs this is munn's first birthday with the little bub.We opted for the buffet and the food was great.However i think i made a mistake by requesting for a private room.My goodness the room was really warm though they have a small fan there.SO while we were eating the beef shabu shabu we were actually perspiring and it was really uncomfortable.Jairus fell asleep soon we reach the place,however as the plcae was warm and noisy he woke up soon.And when jairus do not get enough sleep thats it,he was crying n crying cuz i think the place was too warm and he was very irritable.The place was warm,the baby was tired and cranky and the place was noisy...towards the end munn and i could hardly eat in peace.also as age is catching up with us we cant eat that much.However it was a great evening with hubby and baby...

Baby Jairus is 3 Months old...

Time flies baby Jairus is now three months old...he now looks very different from his newborn pictures and i can hardly recall how he look like then.Jairus has now lost his baby fats and is no longer chubby. He doesnt drink alot but is definitely zzz more these days.He is now shedding hair and yes is pretty serious u can find lotsa hair on his pillow or bed.. guess very soon we will have to shave him.Baby jairus can hold his neck up now and is getting stronger each day. Though he tries to flip and turn he can only do a half turn hence he is always rotating on the bed.Each night he can rotate 180 degree and is leaving me very little space to zzz.
He used to have one single eye lid and one double eyelid but recently his single eyelid has changed to a double eyelid..hurray his eyes are finally mei mei liao.He is now very fun to play with and has alot more expressions than before..im definitely enjoying every moment with him at home...how i wish i dont ave to go back to work...

jairus is 2 mths old.....

Baby Jairus has grown so much.He  looks less grouchy these days and is now able to look at you and converse with you. He is usually in a good mood when he wake up in the morning and on days if you are lucky you can hear  him chuckle and smiling away.His smile is so mesmerizing and it makes all the hard work worthwhile.All of us are just smitten by him and  even when he cry,both papa and i still find him so adorable.The arrival of Jairus has brought so much joy to both families.

Papa has been great,he makes an effort to clean jairus and feed him every night despite being so tired.On weekend he will also bathe the little one.munn is indeed a wonderful and loving father,On good days,jairus will zzz thoughout the night otherwise he will wake up once or twice for milk.Thank god he has been quite a good baby and doesnt give us problem at night and it is really nice to have him zzz with us.

Seeing him having the vaccination breaks my heart,just before the jab he was feeling so happy and when the needle went him he wailed so loudly and it took us quite some time to calm him down.He had a fever the next two days and was zzz so much than usual. I guess he was feeling really uncomfortable.May almighty God bless him with good health and protect him from all evil spirits.

Baby Jairus mummy just wanna say I love you and will always be there for you.

Happy 2nd Anniversary baby...

Happy 2nd anniversary baby,we are 2 yrs old... This journey has been wonderful and i really look forward to grow old with munn... As much as i would love to get away to celebrate my wedding anniversary with hubby i had many thoughts and constraints.Hubby has been planning for a spa retreat in Batam however i was not very keen, as firstly i am still breastfeeding which means I have problems pumping and storing the breastmilk,that is one big headache.Secondly, i cant bear to leave jairus with my in laws..dunno if is separation anxiety.Guess im very much attach to this little man.Hence we did not go away for those few days.On the day itself,daddy gave me a card in the car and  i was really touched to read what he wrote.those words really touched my heart and yes i did cry!but those were tears of joy i thank god for blessing me with this wonderful man..i felt so bad that this time round i did not prepare any card or pressie for him.Guess all my attention was on the little one instead..

First, we went vivo to catch sex and the cities then we proceeded to holland village for a three hours spa.Going for spa is our favourite!Afterwhich we went to fosters in holland village for dinner.The place was quiet and the ambience was nice...the food and company was great too.
