Half Day Leave for Mummy!

This was the 1st time that hubby home-alone with baby while i enjoyed my gathering with good friends!

Though i have confidence on hubby that he will take care of baby well but i couldn't help to keep remind him on timings of baby's milk feed, lunch, nappy changing, bathing.. blah blah blah...

I really gladful to have such a good break. Had lunch at TCC @ Plaza Sing and dessert at Gelare... Very sinful treats from both but I LOVE IT! :)

Not much changes and updates from my dear friends, and as usual, im the most talkative one among them. Seems like stay-at-home mummy job is more fascinating to them ah! Haa...

Dear brought baby to fetch me up. Dear indeed did a good job coz baby looked so happy and contended (or is it because bb wanted an "escape" from me for so long and finally granted a chance to be home-alone with daddy! :p)

Anyway, WELL DONE dear! Muacks! :)

His 1st Playnest @ Julia Gabriel

This is definately a hectic morning for me!


2 important things to get done before 10.15am:

1) To cook his lunch (today is salmon porridge with green pea) very early at 9am
2) To settle him for his morning nap earlier at 9.15am (so he will have an hour nap and get ready for his class)

Ziqian and his school bag! (Darling, don't look so serious, this is supposed to be a playclass for you to play, no homework for u yet :p)



Everything went smoothly as planned and i reached Julia Gabriel @ Forum very punctually. Collected his new student slip and library card and headed straight to Playroom #6!

The 1.5hour passed so quickly! Ziqian was abit quiet and observant initially, he looked around what's happening around him and cautious to make his 1st move... But that was only like 10mins peaceful moment before his excitement, he started crawl to other babies and stared hard at them, touched them and played toys with them! And whats more, he crawled to the pretty jie jie (14month old Yi Ning) and started to touch her face! I think Yi Ning is also attracted by Ziqian and she stroked him back, they started to touch each other and both mummies didn't stop them! Haa.. Too bad the teachers started the class and all babies had to sit down for the welcome song :)

We had story telling, music session, danced around, art & craft thingy, snacks time, outdoor playtime... Among all these, my favourite is the art & craft! All Ziqian's little fingers was dipped into bowl of yellow paint to paint a yellow snake! He was so happy and kept tapping the yellow paint on his fingers onto the paper snake and shouted with thrill! When the teacher asked are we done for the collection of their "artpiece", he simply didn't want to stop and snatched the bowl of yellow paint with teacher! Haa... I have a Picasso here :p

Look at his painted face! :)



And papa surprised us with his visit! He said he wanted to give Ziqian his support on his first lesson, how sweet... :) We had lunch together and Ziqian finished his super big bowl of porridge, guessed the activities burnt our lots of his energy!

Overall, i enjoyed the session alot and i believed Ziqian as well, coz he was all smiley and active throughout the class... And im happy to sign him up for this :)

to his 1st Playnest Class @ Julia Gabriel tomorrow! :)

9 months old

Ziqian is 9 months old... But very sadly, he lost his ah gong today...

Pa left us on 2am + this morning... Words cant express my grievances... It was so painful...

Pa had been ill due to lung infection & pneumonia for the past month. He was admited to hospital on early June for his 1st relapse, and discharged 2 weeks later. The antibiotic he continued to take after his discharge did not improve his condition at all and he fainted at home due to his breathelessness... He was admitted again and this time round straight to ICU as doctor said his condition was very severe and asked us to be mentally prepared... Dear was very affected, he kept staying by his side, talking and massaging him.. I never saw him so sad and cried so much before, it's my turn now to protect him...

My mum came and helped out to look after baby so i can go hospital and visit Pa. He was on breathing-aid devices , looking so weak, couldn't talk, couldn't open his eyes, could only respond to my talking by fidgeting abit.. I was teary, voice was shaky, seeing him lying there so helplessly really break my heart... We met Pa's boss cum good friend at hospital, he was a nice guy and he visited Pa everyday, he told us quite alot of things about Pa... Only now then we knew that Pa was a very popular guy in his company, his boss described him as a walking directory and Mr. Know All, he told us that Pa always praised lots about Ben in front of his good friends, he told everyone his eldest son is very capable, his daughter-in-law is very sensible and well-mannered, and he kept showing everyone Ziqian's photo, describing to them how cute and cheerful this little boy is... I found that it was rather ironic, we knew more about Pa's thing from an outsider...

We knew that he doted on Ziqian alot, so we played baby's video to him, though he couldn't see but he could hear, and he was teary after hearing the video... He was responding to it! A sudden strong guilt overwhelm me, we knew that he loved baby very much, he often called us and wanted to "talk" to baby, always asked us when were we going back to Simei house, but we always so look forward to the weekend to bring baby go gai gai, and always told him next week next week, keep delaying... Now it's all too late, he would never have a chance to carry, hug and kiss Ziqian again...I could have do more but i didn't... I am a lousy daughter-in-law...

Pa is a great father-in-law. He really did lots for me... silently...
When i was pregnant, he would travel to Bedok and buy the beancurd for me coz i commented that it was nice once... When Ben travelled oversea for work during my pregnancy, he called me everyday to ensure im safe... When i gave birth baby, he visited me everyday at hospital... When i told them my decision of taking no pay leave and take care baby full time, he was the 1st person who supported my decision, he said baby needs mummy most at this tender age and he said i can always go back to work when baby is older... Pa, thanks for everything you did for me, i really sad and regret i didn't treat you better and spend more time with you... There are many things i learnt from you: you know how to enjoy life by travelling around, your politeness to everyone around you, your kindness to my parents when you knew they not feeling well...

Pa, i hope you will forgive me on this, i couldn't turn back the clock but i promise you that no matter what happened, i will standby Ben and support him all the way, i will take good care of baby, give him a lovely home for him to grow up healthy and strong... Pa, you rest in peace, i will show Ziqian ah gong's photo when he grow up, telling him ah gong is a very very nice old man.. We will never forget you Pa... We love you...

I served this with a potato and Ziqian finished everything! Haa... 很有成就感!

2) Vege lentil delight

He finished 3/4 bowl of it! Personally i prefer this most coz it taste real sweet and eith nice
corn fragrance :)

3) Chicken chowder

His 1st white pearlie!

Last night i was still telling hubby that Ziqian might be teething, as i noticed he cant stop putting his fingers into his mouth! And i can feel a very mild "krrk krrk" sensation when i was feeding him...

BINGO! I am right! I saw his bottom middle left tooth is slightly protruding out when he gave me his usual gummy smile :) I thought it was just my illusion so i felt it with my finger at once. Am so happy that he has tooth now, seems like another milestone to me.. haa!

Time for brushing teeth!
