HFMD & Short Trip

It was quite an eventful month for hub, ah b & me. To start of with, my son got HFMD!! Nope, he is not at school going age yet. He is a home cared toddler. He got it from his cousin, who is a school going boy - who also infected by HFMD a week before I noticed symptoms of it on my son too. Paed confirmed the diagnosis and said Ah B needed to be admitted as HFMD for under 3 yrs old is considered dangerous because it may affect a baby's heart & brain. Thankfully, Ah B recovered fast and he was not cranky at all. He still ate, slept & played as usual. 2 days later, I was infected too!! I was even severed than my son. I was so relieved to use my son's left over oral medication and skin cream. The oral was very effective and recovered fast but the rashes on my skin got worse and worse each day. At the end of 2 weeks, quarantined finally was lifted :)

A week after HFMD episode, hubby and I left for KL trip. A very very short trip. We started our journey at 4am, Saturday and returned at 1pm, sunday. Overnight at The Gardens Hotel & Residences, Mid Valley. Purpose of the trip was to fix a better inter-cooler, carbon fibre roof & skirting and Milltech sport performance exhausts. While hubby fixing the car, I was enjoying my day at Sunway Pyramid Mall - shopping, relaxing at starbucks with hot green tea latte & choco banana cake, popiah and stick ice-cream. We had dinner at Mid Valley mall - nyonya food then headed to Tong Pak Fu desserts shop. On our way back to hotel, we bought McD :) The next morning, we had delicious lunch at a taiwan restaurant at The Gardens before leaving KL.

Finally Ced Doesn't Want Mommy To Go To Work!

Hahaha...that is right! I think I am going to strike jackpot..hehe..1st time ever, Ced cried and jumped up and down when i came to work this morning..Usually, before i left house, he would wave and smile at me..but today is a different scene all together :) I had to admit, he melted my heart away..

How sweet and nice to end my March 2012 :)

Cedric - 15 months

Ced is now 15months old. Another scene at his paediatrician's room again..hehe..He dislikes doc & nurse to touch him, needless to say removing his clothing and pampers to be measured & weighed!! :) Everytime, he will fuss and cry until the jab is finalized. This time, he slapped his paed, grabbing and pulling the measuring tape away and best of all knows how to scold people already..So far, lil kaikai is progressing well and fine - very important to me that he keeps his health healthy!! Thank God for blessing my darling kaikai. Food wise and to keep him on table while mommy & daddy eat is much more easier now as he can share our food. But then, now he has been promoted to toddler title, no longer baby anymore...he is difficult to handle. Sleeps lesser, wants to play when he is not sleeping - and i mean real playing all the time to the extend of refusing to sleep. It is so much tiring now as his hobby now is to crawl & walk to everywhere he wants and to touch anything he is curious about :) He is fast so we need to follow up and is really draining our energy.

Cedric has developed a new temperamental behaviour which is screaming. Oh well, he no longer afraid of my scolding and beating as each time i do, he no longer cries..hehe...in fact, he scolds me in return..not in words but shout..haha...He is a very cranky boy as he wants his way. Refusing or obstructing him means war with him..haha..Denying him on whatever he wants, means end up I have to face his struggling and crying and screaming endlessly..is getting difficult to coax him as he is smarter now.

When he was about 9 mths old, he had flu and cough. Resulting him difficult to sleep during night time. He would wake in the middle of the nights crying. Since then, after he recovered, he still continues to wake in the middle of the nights screaming and crying. Before that, he was a good sleeper throughout the night. But now, it is a nightmare when comes to night time. On better nights, he will only wake once or not severe crying, on bad nights, he will wake a few times a night. I won't have enough rest and sleep too :)

Since he is a colicky child, some elders advice to cut off gassy food for him and to apply medicated oil before sleeps and to give him chinese gas relieve powder. Tried and it seemed to improve a little. He either sleeps throught the night or cries once. Still, not a good sleeper as I can hear him tossing and turning alot. It has been awhile, every night I will give him his milk bottle on my bed and allow him to sleep by himself on my bed. Once he asleeps, will move him to his cot.

Googled some info on night baby crying and downloaded a story titled "How I Behave Today?" - plan to read to him every night before bed while lil kaikai is in his cot. Hope by letting him sleep by himself on his own cot will help him sleeps by himself without crying for mama at night. Hope when April comes, things will improve!!

Be My Valentine!

It was a remarkable "day" for me. Yup, my day word was special because on the exact Valentines' Day, it was just another ordinary day for me. Whereby, i went to work and back home as usual. Hubby was busy with work on this special day. So, why was it so remarkable? hehehe...

Well, we celebrated it earlier - on a Sunday. Planned to have a nice lunch at Italiannies, Paragon but it was full so we went to TGIF. Had chicken cutlet burger and prawn and chicken pasta. After that, went to Italiannies for coffee & tiramisu cake. However, tiramisu cake was sold out so i changed to Creme Brule. It was a real disappointment as the coffee was so terrible. No coffee taste at all neither milk taste, only sweetness and the color was so pale that even Teh Tarik has darker color than it. Here came my Creme Brule which was hot in some parts and some cold, worst, it was goddamn sweet AGAIN!! haha...

Moved on to our movie - The Grey. Hubby insisted to get real proper nice cuppa coffee for me but i declined as i was way too full :) Instead, bought Chatime pearl milk tea as I wanted to chew on the pearl :) Didn't really enjoy the drink only the chewable pearl :) After movie we went back home to our cozy nest. Snuggle up on our bed over our favourite TVB series. Yahoooo....Soon was our Ah B and dinner time...Didn't really have a nice cuppa yet..Our dinner was at Cheeky Duck, Straits Quay. Once again, hubby insisted on getting a coffee from Full of Bean House since i complained so much of my bad day without a proper coffee :) The coffee there is costly but the aroma is good because is pure coffee. One can choose the bean from the varieties list of bean names. Hubby said " cham lo, today suppose to celebrate valentines day with you and you said it is a bad day".. hehehe...

Then on Monday night (Valentine Eve), hubby came home with a bouquet of flowers for me. He never done that before because to him, it is very unworthy to get flowers on such occassion. I love him so much! Smitten by him! haha...Not on the flowers BUT on his thoughts!! He has his ways of making me miss him and love him and hug him tight! :) Happy Valentines Day to everyone!!

I am so HAPPY - yet another touching surprise :)

Well, if you have been following my blog - you will notice i am in superb mood when hubby lavishes me with expensive gifts - especially those i long for. In my previous blogs, one can come upon my 1st great surprise of a Cartier Trinity Ring which i had been longing for for 3 years. It supposed to be another common gift which i do not need to exaggerate on. But what it made it so special on this gift was my hubby did not know i had been longing for this and yet we browsed Cartier website almost the same time on each end of the globe. He was on his usual business trip, we kept in touched via Skype - while communicating, we viewed the website without us knowing. Wasn't it so coincident? Plus, it is a gift for me delivering of our baby boy.

Moving on, after 1 year had past. My hubby surprised me yet another gift which i intended to get while we were holidaying at Singapore. I wanted to get a Chanel purse at Marina Bay Sands. I ended without buying. Guess what?! My hubby bought the exact purse that i wanted when he was on his trip again. I did not share with him about my intention of getting that purse way back at Singapore but he made the right decision on getting this particular model for me. I am truely surprised and touched. Even more so when he said he knows well of my heart :)

BLISSFUL LIFE

Happy Dragon Year to everyone that is reading my blog now...byebye to 2011 and welcome my 2012..hehehe...so far, my 2012 is starting off GREAT :)...initially, i thought this year will be a bad year for me since my end 2011 was not so good :)..Thank you God for blessing me again and again..I really do appreciate it :)

First, I made a terribly wrong action with my silly attitude days before new year day. Even so, my hubby still stood by me and endured through the period with me..while walking to Straits Quay from our house on the eve of new year...at night...we had a nice little chat about my misunderstanding...suddenly, i felt a big heavy rock was put down from my shoulder...i felt so relieved and happy and yet stupid of my narrow minded-ness..my hubby still loves me after all these years..and i nearly ruined it with my stupidity. That was my happiest walk and moment. So, that night while watching the fireworks and counting down to 01-01-2012, i grinned all the time :) and i couldn't stop thinking of how blissful i am..lesson learnt again from this is to control my temper :) God has shown me my wrong from this situation and ended it with such a sweet and happy moment for my hubby & I - in hopes that we can cherish and love each other on and on..

Second, my sweet tigger boy..hehe..my dearie son is so much adorable and funny as he grows. More funny actions appear from him..and also getting naughty now..hehe..curiosity kicks in now..so is getting difficult to handle him..he wants to be here and there, touch this and that. Also the time of eating new food. Fed him beancurd, ice cream, papaya, banana, apple, noodle and more congee, varieties of biscuits, egg & yogurt (both he dislikes :) )..in short, start sharing certain food with me while we dine. Aside some crankiness and fussiness, basically a good boy too :) from here, I can understand that God has bestowed me a bond that comes with responsibilities, commitment and sacrifices to our offspring :) Whatever the ups and downs in raising my son, I'm always proud of myself for being growing up so much now and cherish the moment i share with my own blood and flesh - my son :)

Third, had a nice chinese new year with my family to kicktstart with. Lashed out my point and stated my point clearly. I can see some changes now..so I am starting to ease down and control my temper and be forever forgiving 'God of Mercy' :) I don't want to be calculative and think too much of it anymore. I will try to ease myself so that negativity won't build up inside me. Lesson learnt from this is to stay calm and think in depth before upsetting myself  & family :) Again, God has unmasked certain things to make me see clearly to reduce my disgruntle. By treating everyone nice instead of hard feelings will give joy to everyone and reduce the possibilities of regret in later life :)

How can I not be grateful for every nice good things happen? Sometimes, bad things come by to remind me how fortunate and bless i am so that i can continue cherish my life. When bad times come, means forbidding me to take things for granted. Resulting, ups and downs in my life. After the hurricane, I am always back to the arms of love of my husband, son & family. So far, they stand by me and never give up hope on me eventhough at times I have to admit I have some slight temperamental issue :) And forever always, make me love my husband even more, adore my son even more and grateful to be blessed to have a comfy family background without me enduring hard times.

TRUST is earn over the years NOT overnight!

Lately, I've a new thought. It just came to me after an incident happened. I've been thinking alot too lately but the path seems doom to me. So, I'm practically still undecided what is my next step shall be. In the meantime, I'll just walk my life on a daily basis and see where it leads me to :) I've learnt a lesson as not to take everything that comes to me for granted. I shall feel grateful for the blissful moments that happen in between life and do not grumble on down moments. Because, life does have its' ups and downs - is where we learn our experiences and build our characteristics. Plus, I shall not have high hope as when it turns out not as what I expected, it is a very very painful fall for me. No one is at the peak all the time, somehow or rather, someone else will have his or her moment at the peak too.

The fall - is the one that painted a clearer picture into my life. Shows me that the truth is not what i thought so, so far. OR, what i thought so is right, but, is not as beautifully painted as it seemed. There is always a secret or privacy section in one's mind that only yourself knows. To remain silent, I'll never get to pour out my unsatisfactory. I'll never get to the nearest answer. I'll never get to mend anything. On the other hand, to voice out, it will change everything in life. Where trust will be broken. I'll never be the same again, in terms of mind and soul. I'll always be in doubt and won't trust easily anymore. I wonder trust will ever be re-build, but one thing for sure is there is always will be a crack on the trust word. Just like a broken vase, you mend it back, it will always have cracks everywhere. The vase may not be in usable form because water may leak out from the cracks.

Perhaps, to move on is the right decision. Either I keep to myself more and not to release more or I release more and never to expect to be treated the same way. This way, I will not be hurt so much :)
