감사합니다 gamsahabnida!

My colleague invited us to an exclusive Korean homemade lunch, part 1 of his housewarming celebration.

The authentic Korean dishes... black sticky rice, tofu soup, cooked beef, Korean tang hoon fried with veg, spicy rice cake, korean sauced pork, chicken, sotong and the cuttlefish... what a feast! All cooked by his Korean mother-in-law, yummylicious!

Happy Results Day

Thanks to all those who have been very concerned about A's blood test results. The results was out today and thank God, there was no abnormality detected in the report! :)

The specialist at KK and her assistant were so amused by Baby's and like him (n his smiles) so much that they joked that they wanted him back 2 weeks later to amuse them. Ha!


A dozing off while we queued up in the pharmacy. We got him a cream for his bites.

It was a happy day for us. We bought Baby out and bought him more toys at Robinson's privite sale. :) It was seldom that we bought our stroller out, today was one such day and Baby surprised us when he refused to lean back and kept wanting to sit up. He was sitting very steadily and didn't flinch when we rolled over humps! Wow!


A wearing his turtle shirt playing with his brand new turtle toy at Robinsons, ha!

Planning for the '1'

It's less than 3 months to A's birthday! Time to kick start the planning!

At this point in time, we've only managed to gather a list of websites that sells birthday cakes and for the past week, I've been browsing the cakes online for ideas.

Next up, we will have to decide on the theme, pick a cake shop, design the cake, fix the venue and date, draw up the guest list, send out invites, confirm guest list, order food, buy decorations and the tasks go on and on... Boy, it feels so much like planning for a mini wedding!

*Breathe in*, *Breathe out*... I hope the process will be a relaxed one! Let's do it one step at a time - with no stress and hiccups! :)

Nespresso Espresso

Yipee, the company decided to try out a Nespresso machine in the pantry. I downed 2 to 3 espressos and latte daily because of this new gadget. Fantastic and easy to make. I am so tempted to buy one for home now ...

Tiring day for Baby

Baby must had a tiring day today. We arranged for 2 sessions of 45 mins matwork for him, one after another. Felt guilty about this as he's still having runny nose and expended a lot of energy today but fortunately he had his fill of energy-filled porridge before leaving home. Think we must try to space out the sessions next time!



One of the trainers commented that he improved a lot after the first lesson. He's more alert, more responsive, more stable and more mobile! Hehe, he also cries more than the last time whenever the trainers carried him! :P

Baby is 9 months old

Baby has made much progress since the last update.



He can point to the object he wants and will tilt and bend himself towards the object to get it. His grasps improves, he's able to grip small blocks and his ball toys (but not firm enough to hold them for long). He can transfer objects to the other hand and can bang objects together.

He sits better now. He can lean forward without falling although he still can't lean sideways or backwards very well. He almost always wants to propel his body to bring himself to an upright position whenever I laid him on my lap but he still can't roll over to get to a sitting position although I can see that he wanted to.

He started trying crawling movements but goes backwards instead, ha. He has this vigorous action of banging himself against the mat (when he's on the mat) and us (when we are carrying him) that makes him look so cute and funny! It's definitely a sign that he's trying to move (either forward or upwards) but this can be quite dangerous and painful at times when his head knocks against our body. He, on the other hand, seems to enjoy it very much.

He babbles quite a lot lately and some of them sound like speech. He can say "Mama Mum Mum..." and "Mama Baba..." Whenever he's hungry and wants/or sees food, he'll say "Mum Mum". At 8 months, he loves to eat and wants food to be delivered to his mouth fast! He makes noise and bangs the table impatiently when food is not ready. New food this month: Sweet potato, potato, chinese spinach, apple, treadfin and beef. He takes 2 meals of porridge now. Milk intake remains low (about 400+ml per day). In the day, he sleeps 3-2 hours (decreasing) but luckily his night sleep is undisturbed at night. He's sleeping a continuous 10-11 hours (increasing) daily through the night! :)

Just yesterday, he experienced his first flu and was cranky and increasingly clingy. It must have been quite a torture for him. That separation anxiety seems to be growing but I'm not too worried. It's just a phase that will pass.

I can't believe it is 3 months to his 1st birthday! We have yet to start planning for his birthday celebration. Have to get start very soon! I've a feeling it's going to be a headache just deciding on a theme!

Anyways, on a side note, today was also my sis birthday. Happy Birthday, sis! :)

Baby down with his first Flu

DC was informed by his parents that Baby had runny nose and cough and had difficulty napping. We decided to take him to his PD immediately.

Wanted to go to the PD at Mt A but DC remembered the clinic don't open in the afternoon.
Then, I tried calling the PD at Paragon and was informed that he doesn't work on Tues afternoons. The clinic referred me to another clinic on top of theirs.
Called the PD at Mt A just to be sure the clinic was not closed today and was informed by the receptionist that she was on leave for two days!

Where are all these PDs when we needed them?

Then, DC remembered the very first PD. Thank God he was still available!
My vendor also recommended a baby and child clinic to me and it turned out to be the same one that we went to!

DC and I rushed down to the clinic to meet Baby and DC's parents. Today, the PD left a different impression on us, he seem different from the first time. More confident and convincing that we decide to put him back on our list of PDs. :P He's proven very useful today!

After feeding the medicine, Baby managed to sleep through the night. Thank God!

Nephews Weng and Onn's 2nd year birthday

Time flies, my twin nephews are now 2 yrs old. They are the elder twins, we actually have 2 pairs of twins among us. Imagine that ...

Baby A was quite subdued this time. I think he's probably tired. He even managed a short nap through the cacophony.

Birthday Poxed

Ah Boy contracted Chicken Pox on the day of sis's birthday treat! What bad timing and I had to choose to skip the dinner cos I didn't want to tire Baby (he was out the whole day). Poor sis had to celebrate a few times because of this - Fri with parents and bro, Sat with parents and us and another day with Ah Boy and us...

I hope my present was a good consolation... Got her a LV wallet and passed it to her on yesterday. :)

Baby (n Us) at LV

This was not the first time we bought him to LV, not the first time he squirmed on the comfy sofa, not the first time we were served beverages but it was definitely the first time we took family photos in LV!



I love these pictures! Too bad the store manager was in a meeting then, we should have posed a picture with her earlier when she was carrying our Baby! :)
