The Bad Moo Moo.....

It's the last day of the bull and just as I thought that it will go away in peace.... it never!


We were having Lunar dinner when Sarah just fell asleep in the sarong. I wanna eat as fast as I could before she is awake. Just as I was into the dinner for 5mins, we heard screaming from upstairs. All of them thought that is was Sarah, but it didn't sound like the screaming is coming from the walkie talkie. Then we heard children upstairs screaming that Shannen is bleeding... OMG. I dropped the chopsticks immediately and ran upstairs as fast as I could. I saw Shannen sitting on the floor, crying with her mouth covering with lots of blood. I carried her and ran down as fast as I could, put some sugar on the wounded lower lip. Her nose was bleeding too. She was crying loudly and my heart broke......

I carried her throughout the dinner and tried to feed her with some "soft chewing" foods. She was able to eat without any complaints but we agreed that the swell will be worse tomorrow. At night, I gave her some milk with straw and she was only half way through the milk and was complaining that she was having pain. She told me it was pain from her upper gum. I wondered.... I thought she only injured her lower lip & nose. How come the upper gum was in pain too. Told her to lie down and I did a quick check. Indeed that her upper gum was having some blood clot. I used a cotton bud to clean her wound. My poor girl.....

Told the kids that they are not allowed to be left alone upstairs though the maid is with them cos she can't stop them from doing anything, unless an adult like anyone of us is with them. Otherwise everyone has to stay downstairs in future. Was told that Shannen was doing a dancing turn and she lost balance and fell flat on the floor.

I Love My Cereal

I was hesitate to give Sarah rice cereal cos she is just 4 months old, but on the other hand, I wanted to give her the cereal earlier as she was not gaining much weight cos she was having reflux. After much consideration, I finally tried rice cereal mixed with breast milk for her and she loved it!

The only thing is she is trying very hard to poo cos after introducing solid to her, her bowel is no longer watery but pasty. Well... got to give her more water and fruits then.

Prolonged Jaundice

Brought Sarah to Dr. Lilian this morning again as she still looks yellow. According to her, Jaundice usually appears on 3rd of the babies' life and if it got worse, the baby will have to go through photo therapy. This is to prevent the "something"(I forgot the name liao) to go through their brain and causes brain damage. As the baby enter into their 3rd weeks of life, the membrane is more mature, the risk of having brain damaged will be greatly reduced. At this point of time, if the baby still looks yellow, it may means that she or he is having prolonged Jaundice due to breast milk or the "something" might have enter into their liver. Comparing a total breastfeed baby to a formula diet baby, a formula diet baby who still looks yellow into their 3rd weeks of life will be more serious. So another blood test (which blood is to be taken from their fist) is needed to ensure that the baby's liver is alright. No matter what, so long a baby still looks yellow when they are already 3 weeks old, it's better to bring them to the doctor for another blood test to ensure that the baby is alright.

This is the reason why I am bringing Sarah to Dr. Lilian this morning. Hopefully tomorrow's result will show that Sarah is okay.

Finally

After talking so much about going to Malaysia for his 18 holes (always talk no action), Elson & Ken (brother in-law) finally went for their games this afternoon in Malaysia. Maybe I should go to the driving range 1 day before my Mizuno clubs turn rusty. Lolz...

Elson sent me to mummy's place so that they could play with Shannen. I took a chance to go out for lunch with Huiting while Shannen sleep. Guess what. It's New York New York. It had been my 2nd visit this week and 3rd this month. We went to the one @ Heartland Mall. The waitress actually asked me to join them as a member which I will be enjoying some vouches, 10% discount and also a free drink when I sign up for the 1st time. Since I like their foods so much, I decided to join them as member.

After lunch, we carried on with our mission. Got to buy a plastic fish tank for Huiting's newborn grandchildren (4 hamsters), eggs, some red packets(I dun like those free ones, cos they were all too big) and a mini lion head(cos Daddy decided not to get the group to come and perform at our place this year so I decided to get a lion head and have some fun.

I am a member now!!!

New York New York

Since our last visit to New York New York, I have been thinking of their Seafood Aglio. Just miss the taste so much.

I then decided to meet mummy & Huiting @ New York New York, AMK Hub for lunch to stop my saliva drip further. Order a Bacon & Mushroom Aglio while Huiting had a Roasted Chicken Carborana, Mummy ones was a Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Chop. Side dishes was Buffalo wings and Bravo Wedges, and we shared a Mango Lime Kickers. Shannen was enjoying the wedges while all of us agreed that the foods were good. Total bill was $72.97. So worth it to stop my craving for a while. We proceed to Ntuc Fairprice to shop for dinner(raw foods) and then head back to Punggol cos it's time for Shannen to take her nap.

Mission Accomplish

After 2 weeks of sleepiness nights, my hard works finally pays off. Shannen has quit on her pacifier and so far for the past few days, she no longer wake up in the middle of the night and cry.

The 1st week of quitting was terrible. Shannen would wake up several times each nights and cry for her pacifiers. Sometime I can even sense that she was having nightmares that her pacifiers "ran" away from her. Lolz.... Everything is over now!

Mad Jack Cafe

We were already bored with the foods around us and was planning to have a buffet for dinner tonight. Searched on the website and found that most of them(the buffets) are in town. So we then drove to Jalan Kayu to try and search for some good food instead. Drove pass this restaurant with a huge banner on the door "rib eye for S$13.90 only" We were both attached by the banner and decided to give it a try. We ordered 2 ribeye(medium rare), a grilled fish for Shannen, 1 plate of the 9 inches sausages(comes in 3 pieces) and cheesy mix fries. Total bill was S$57.20. Quite cheap for the serving. Shannen also enjoyed her dinner while watching American Idol.

BBQ On A Rainy Day

Was planning to visit Megan @ the hospital in the late afternoon, but after receiving a message from Sharlene saying that Megan will be discharging today, we then decided to plan to do something else.

We went to Sembawang to get some foods and head back home to have a BBQ. Though the weather wasn't that good, we were still safe under the "shelter" we had installed. Shannen was having great time locking the glass door and had me and Elson locked outside the house. Luckily thing was that we had a bunch of spare keys with us. Lolz...


Mini BBQ pit & our dinner(Korean style lamp chop & pork, giant sausages, salmon, giant tiger prawns, lettuces for the meats)

Subway

We decided to go to West Mall to get our Singnet contract renew so that I can enjoy a free laptop from them. The Q was way too long. So we decided to give it a miss, grab a bite @ Subway before heading home.
