Port of Lost Wonder

Today is Nai Nai's birthday and also the Hari Raya public holiday. We decided we'll spend the day with everyone at Sentosa at the new Port of Lost Wonder because Kor Kor Evan said it is very nice and that we should try. It was a very hot  day but it didn't stop anyone from going there. While waiting to get tickets for the water park, we bumped into Kayne Jin and Asher. We were suppose to join them but wasn't sure if we could make it there so we had to plan separately.

The park is very big and had this big pirate ship in the middle just like the one at The Zoo. In fact the whole set up looks very similar to the one at the The Zoo except that this one has more sitting area and picnic area around the water park. 

Kor Kor Reuben had a good time with Kor Kor Evan going down the slides and playing with the various water features. Jie Jie WeiEn was not too keen and did not really join them for most of the time. I was with Nai Nai, Ye Ye and Mummy at the picnic area they call The Hatch Patch. Except for the hot weather and the crowd, everyone had fun. We had to leave early because Daddy had to catch a flight to Bangkok in the evening for his business trip.

Choupinette

Nai Nai is away in Genting so Mummy and Daddy took the day off to spend time with me and also to bring Gor Gor Reuben out in the afternoon. Together with Mummy and Daddy, we had breakfast at this very interesting restaurant called Choupinette. Mummy found out about it from her friend so they decided to check it out. They seem to have enjoyed the food judging from the cleaned out plates left behind. And I think Daddy would have loved to stay a little longer to chill if not for the fact that I kept coughing, probably from the air con there.

After picking Gor Gor Reuben up from school at around 12.30, we headed to the Singapore Art Museum where they are having their annual children's exhibition and the theme this time is The Art Garden. We walked around the different rooms and there were interesting exhibitions and fun activities for children but unfortunately I could only watch while Mummy carried me around. We didn't stay very long as apparently last year's exhibition was better than this year's. We ended up at Food for Thought for something to eat instead. Gor Gor had a blast with ice cream taken from Daddy's root beer float. I was just busy with my biscuit sticks.

My First Diamond

Diamond is a girl's best friend.. regardless how small it is.


After weeks of deliberation and asking around, Mummy decided that it is time I get my ears pierced before I grow older and starts to resist the pain. While we were having lunch at Adam's Road Hawker Centre after church today, Mummy was talking to Gu Zhe and convinced her that Wei En Zhe Zhe should also have her ears pierced, much to the delight of Gu Jeong who hasn't been able to convince her.


We went over to B'dazzled at Wisma Atria where Mummy has found to be reliable from her friends. Something strange and sweet happened to Gor Gor Evan who, after realizing that his sister will be getting her ears pierced, started crying because he feels her pain. Daddy had to bring both Gor Gor Evan and Reuben away in case they created a scene. They were treated to ice cream while the girls were getting their first diamonds attached.


Mummy and Daddy were very proud of me as I didn't cry very much after having my ears pierced. I was pacified with my bottle of milk which was very important to me. Mummy is very happy with her decision because I look very pretty with the diamond studs. Thanks Mummy and Daddy for the 9th Month present.

Asher's Birthday Party

We celebrated Asher's 1 year old birthday party today at Food for Thought at The Botanic Gardens. Cindy Yee Yee blocked off a part of the restaurant expecting about 40 adults and 10 children to attend. Unfortunately, some of Uncle Ivan's relatives came down with HFMD so couldn't make it. There were quite a lot of food for those who were there. I was sleeping when we got there and only woke up halfway through the party. Happy Birthday Asher!

8 Months Check

Mummy brought me for my 8th month check up at Marine Parade Polyclinic today. At the same time, I was also given the 6 in 1 vaccination. Mummy was very proud of me as I didn't cry much after the injection. During the check up, the nurse took my measurements and I now weigh 8.3kg and my height is 71cm. Apparently I didn't gain very much compared to my last check up when I was 6 months old. Nonetheless, Mummy and Daddy were very proud that I was able to flip at 4 months, sit steadily at 6.5 months and crawl at 7 months. I can now stand supported on my own and I occasionally even take mini steps. Mummy and Daddy are hoping I can start walking before I turn one year old. 

First Visit to KK Hospital

I have been pretty healthy all this while and seldom fell sick. In the last 7 months, I probably only checked out Dr Appan once for some skin irritation. Like they always say, when it rains, it really pours. I am not sure if Gor Gor Reuben passed the fever and cough to me or vice versa, but we both started coughing pretty badly since Sunday. My temperature went up to as high as 39.5 degrees Celsius. I know some other kids have gotten it worse and made it through pretty ok but Mummy and Daddy wasn't gonna take any chances. Even though it is May Day holiday today, they decided to bring me to KK Hospital. Daddy even said he has heard me cry more in the last 2 days than the whole of the last 7 months.


Thank goodness it wasn't very crowded at the hospital. We managed to see a doctor almost immediately after we registered. The doctor suggested that the best I can get, for my age, is a sponge down and some paracetamol. Mummy and Daddy were really relieved to know that nothing serious has happened to me, probably the growth of more teeth has caused the fever. I had to take some urine samples to make sure there is no other infection. Unfortunately I kept missing the pouch and had to spend like another 2 hours just to get a few drops. Thank goodness the results were normal..

Reuben.. "It's ok Mei Mei Andrea.

You will be fine soon."

Reuben.. "Gor Gor will make you
laugh with these moves. Hiya.."

Mummy.. "It's ok Andrea, don't unpack my bag cos we
are not going to stay over at the hospital"

Happy Birthday Yi Sok

Yi Sok is back from Dubai for about 10 days and he planned it such that he is back on his birthday. We were very excited cos we will get to sing the birthday song and blow the candles and cut the cake. It was a pity Ye Ye was not back from Batam otherwise it would have been perfect.
