(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB


Hi mummies,

Finally found time to come in....

Thanks for all the well wishes! Emma is one feisty gal! Can scream till hoarse and face all red.

JP,
How you do it all on your own???!!! I wanna peng san already! No time to rest at all and aching all over.

Quite stressed trying to set routine for Emma and trying to get my milk supply going and having to handle K as well.... The poor boy missed home sooo much after 3 days with my mum. Then he was throwing tantrum trying to get my attention. The moment I attended to him, he was all ok again. Then we asked him if he missed mummy and he said yes.... so heartbreaking.... But thank god, he's very loving to Emma, always want to hug her and sayang her.

Dsii, YB, EP,
Sorry...told you all to visit me at home instead, coz short stay in hospital was very busy and room quite small also. Dun want you all to come all the way then I can't talk to you all also. Let me settle down with some routine first hor....

I heard Langham Place is nice..$$ a bit on higher side but v conv..
 
Was very sick last week. Miss out lots of posting.

Hi Jul,
Congrats congrats ...Both Emma & K ook so alike ...heehee.
Takecare ya, is really very siong to set a routine during the 1st few weeks especially u are alone....but everything will go well in no time. Is so sweet of K to love meimei so much.

Lok...When is yr EDD? How yr new maid?

Ethel ...tks for yr CD, V really loves the songs so much...& is full collection of barney...mucks muckz

J & J so cute....playing with powder....I can imagine u shouting at them....., so far i have not restort to canning V, hope I will never need 2 & i dont really know how to deal with naughty & cheeky kids leh.


OC...hope Gill recover from fever soon & not HFM. my whole family down with fever , flu & cough for the past 2 weeks...haiz
 
ep,

Dunno leh. My company website just says standard king, but should be the cheaper garden chalet since we are there on biz. U want to wait for me?

klcc,

We are thinking of bringing my mum and MIL along. Is Royal Plaza hotel near the MTR? Or must walk a long distance cos my MIL not very mobile and can't climb stairs. We are also not there to shop (more like for disney, lantau island, maybe ocean park, the peak).
 
zita,

My EDD is 26 Sep but i think Jonas will be early (perhaps by a week).

My maid so far ok (other than the 1st week when she broke a bowl, chipped off my knife and had food poisoning). Learning to cook from my MIL. Can speak a little bit mandarin cos she worked in Taiwan as factory operator before. Initially, she gets very distracted at times (like staring into space). Then I set the rules (like watch what J is doing and not the tv, must praise her at times too). Can remember most of the things I tell her. Hopefully, as she gets more settled down, things will be even smoother. Joshua quite like her too.
 
ep,
Cos I already bought 2 btls gerber stars during the expo bb fair.

Jul,
No worries...wait till u & Emma settle down first. We can come visit anytime. No hurry. Emma sounds like Kay when she was a newborn too! Crying & screaming hysterically @ the same time. Haha..but once settle into routine, everything is go more smoothly.

OC,
How come Gil rejects fruits & veg ever since in CC? She dun like their cooking arh? I also gave Kay cod liver oil.

Lok,
Your corporate rate sounds gd. Is it for garden or water chalet? Water chalet is nicer lor...cos majiam like in kelong. During high-tide, can even do fishing at the balcony/win.

klcc,
I also thinking abt HK disneyland leh...but now summer season so HOT!

zita,
Wat happen to u?
 
Lok, if u r bringing elderly, then i will not recommend Royal Plaza..cos even thou it is well-linked to the public transportation..but accessing to these need a bit of leg works..maybe u can consider staying at HK island which is nearer to those places u r interested..there is one place worth visiting (w/o the elderly of cos)..Stanley Mkt..there r lots of cutted label branded clothings for kids..and are so cheap..I showed Hong some of the loots i managed to lug back
happy.gif
 
YB, can consider to go lah..wear lesser lor to reduce heat :p cos kids at this age koe how to appreciate the disney characters and HK disney is not that huge so still managable with the kids..
Lok, rem to request for the 2nd day pass to disneyland when u check into yr hotel..there is this promo on getting 2nd day pass free if u stayed at any disney hotels..
 
Lok..that good. at least u have a helping hand to takecare of J. I had just selected my maid, praying hard that she is easy to teach.

YB...hubby & V is down with fever & URTI, after they recover spread to me lo. Then I cant eat strong medi..so take longer time to recover.
 
hi mummies
just now brought iz to kkh for review..then happened to see weighing machine n some thingy to measure height so i measured ian...

ian is 17.1kg n 90cm tall...measured on 12/8/08
 
YB,
I paid 2388 for 5D4N,staying at Stanford hotel (3*), incl a nite at Disneyland. The amt is totally off peak hor.

May be hot but also summer sale season. After the week I am going, the rest of the year will be consider peak and u need to pay surcharge for almost everything. Since I can take leave why waste the $$. I can save the $$ for shopping.

Right below Stanford hotel is the Ladies street, the sport wholesale lane and a stretch of lane for food.

My package including half day city tour which my hubby said to take up cos they are going to the Peak and the Mdm Tussuad (think I spell wrongly).

We going with NanHo and going by CX.

Infact, there is alot of gift if u sign up at Natas fair. We got a Samsonite equvalent travel bag when we use credit card to pay for it. HK tourism board give each adult a havesack and each child a collar pin.

KLCC,
the HKian told me Stanley mkt got nothing leh.
 
YB,
Dunno, teacher says she has a good appetite but just cant make her eat her fruits n veg, so it's not d cooking. She takes after her daddy in this aspect
sad.gif
 
Hong

the childcare dont usually give trial but for my case, she take it as exceptional as we really stay very far, just in case, Gerrard cant take the long journey so she allow the trial
 
dsii,
Ian is so power leh..so now must pay for bus/train rides & movie tix lor..cos he's already 90cm.

Hong/KLCC,
Too late for NATAS fair le.

zita,
Take care.
 
oc
isaac ah, still in cast...thismorning went kkh for his review..then the doc said must go for op to insert wat needles to his bones..cos it is not healing in position...then went to do admission...went his ward then changed him to hospital's PJ..then settled him..signed some papers...refrained him from drinking n eating cos supposed to do op in the evening...then told him we gonna go home cos ian need to nap etc..asked him be gd boy in hosp alone..then i went for lunch etc...after a while, another doc called us up...said isaac dun hv to go op...let him heal naturally..pengz..he said iz can be discharged...asked us to do the cancellation of admission n bring him home...wahlau..think the imewe spent waiting for the admission etc..and we spent almost half a day at kkh...not that i hope he goes for oplah..but how come the docs always say different things one..one doc said this then another one said that..when the accident happened..the doc oso said must go op to put wat screw...then another one said put cast can liao...si beh jialat loh...
 
yb
hahahaha..bo lah...me cheapo mummy..carry himwhen go up the bus..then he sit in pram when taking mrt..if not sling him loh...hahahaha
 
dsii, aiyo..how come the doc like that one..made u guys bz for nothing!! But think u must glad that doc say IZ can heal w/o op..
IZ v good boy hor, dare to stay at hospital alone
happy.gif
 
dsii,
is a different doct? How come not 1 doctor follow Issac case thru-out! Then which doctor said is the one u can take from?

When we admin Julian to NUH that time due to swelling nymph node. One doctor follow thru-out.

Ur Ian very powerful leh. 17Kg is Janelle weight at 3++.

YB,
then u may want to go to travel agent to find out more on HK.

KLCC,
I also dun know but I told hubby to make a trip there to see see look look. Do we need to spend alot of time traveling there? There are so many places I wish to cover but i dun think i have all the time.

The website u posted is definitely going to be very useful to us.
 
Hong, travelling time by bus to stanley mkt is abt 1/2 hr from central stn, the bus will pass by Ocean Park, "qian shui wan"..but hor, can be quite hot & the road quite winding leh..looks a bit like TW "jiu fen" street..the place quite rustic look..
 
Dsii, they think u very free ah, bring Issac and Ian up and down! I'll be damn pissed lor! *&^%$%&# Wah lau! But then at least the good thing is Issac don't have to go op.

I think usually there'll be a not so senior doc at the clinic and ward. Once the patient gets to be warded, a more senior doc, maybe surgeon will go see patient to know more about the "case". So maybe the surgeon/ senior doc realise actually dun need to op.

Btw Ian really very power.
happy.gif


jul, u scaring me... now i abit regret not to go back SIN earlier and "dump" my kids at my mom's place. Hopefully I can managed alone... stress leh.
 
OC - E is opp of Gil, he wil take fruits and veg in sch but not at home.

Teacher told me yesterday that Emerson lied.

One boy was hurt on the eye and the eng teacher was writing in the communication book. Emerson ran to e chinese teacher and tell her that the eng teacher hit his eye.

We realised that ourselves too, but I didnt take it as a lie. (self deceiving?) I will just re-phrase it for him and correct him on the spot.

Am I doing the right thing? Is this really lieing?
 
PM,
So gd, so E eats due to peer pressure or jus d environment?
Hmm..u mean he told d chinese teacher d eng teacher hit his own eye or d other boy's eye? I personally feel dat it's not lying cos there's no clear motive n he wasn't trying to cover up/get away with some pranks or wrong acts. So i will do d same as u, correct n rephrase.
 
PM,
From the dictionary :
(Trad=舉一反三, Pinyin=ju3 yi1 fan3 san1) draw inferences about other cases from one instance, from a part we may judge the whole, learn by analogy
 
举一倒三 - this phrase also commonly used (maybe commonly used wrongly haha)

same meaning as - one incident, can draw inferences to many "stories" out of it. :p
 
Amanda,
Why suddenly join the morning class?? After the 3 classes, is it end of Term 3 liao??

Lok,
Like Zita, I have also selected my maid. We both get Indon maids... hopefully things will work out well for us all. Do you set a time table for the maid initially?
 
OC - I ask the teachers, they say they will chop the veg finely and mixed it in his rice. The only thing he hates to eat is crab meat.

Sometimes I already chop the veg lioa, but he just wont eat it loh dunno why.

Fruits - Just eat like this. At home he also eats but I lazy to cut.

Oh.. understood liao. Thanks
happy.gif
 
PM,

Kids of our tot's age don;t understand the concept of lying (yet)...so it's probably that their communication skills not so good yet, that they can't really say exactly what happens.
 
haiz...ya loh..lucky he dun need to op..but angry oso..cos we wasted our time there...

hong
for the day we went A&E(the day when accident happened), the 1st review n yesterday's review all the same doc...the indian doc mentioned isaac needs to put screw inside when he 1st saw him (A&E), then another doc said no need...put cast and see how 1st..cos kids heal faster...then 1st review the same indian doc adjusted adjusted the bones so that the bones in position then changed to super hard cast..then 2nd review, the indian doc said the bones not in gd position...and must insert needles....then arranged to be warded..then all ready liao...then another doc called us up to fetch isaac home...cos he said from the xray it seems ok to him..he dun see the need to op..and 2 weeks later we'll be visiting him instead of the indian doc...

klcc
ya loh...i was quite worried initially..cos while we waited for admission..i asked him he ok bo..he tearing leh...but after a while he ok liao...then i oso felt bad leaving him alone but he bz watching cartoons...pengz...he siad he can manage..asked us to go home with didi...cos he cant drink n eat b4 op...he made me promised to buy him big breakfast in the morning......hahahaha...
 
dsii, ha...big breakfast can pacify IZ ah..good leh..he is such a sweet kor kor, think he koe Ian & U need to rest so asked u to go home
happy.gif
 
dsii,

Must teach me your secret. J still below 50 percentile --- dunno when he will even cross the 12kg mark! IZ is so brave and sensible.

lala/zita,

Good luck with your maid. I think language is really quite impt. That's how a lots of problems arise (and how my maid kena food poisoning in her 1st week cos she couldn't understand my MIL's mandarin). Now I tell my MIL to relay message to me and I will instruct the maid. And it is best for her to take instructions from 1 key person. My MIL told her things contrary to my instructions and she was so confused!!

I do set a generic timetable for her (like M,W,F = vacuum+mop floor, everyday cook dinner from 3pm onwards, 6pm leave the house to pick J etc).
 
klcc
cos ian keptjumping on the bed..then wanna walk or shld say run ard...then i bz shouting and trying to carry him in carrier etc..hahaha....
 
Dsii,
May be I got referral from PD Sim on Julian condition the other time so there is one doctor follow thru his case. Till now we still dun know why his nymph node swell leh.

The doctor who said no need op is more senior than the indian doctor? U never suan them, one said need op, the other say no need. Which one shld u listen? Ask them to syn their report a bit lah. haha..
 
HONG
hahaha...nvr cross my mind leh...maybe i was kinda relieved to hear iz no need op//then i was also tiredbah...so the thing i cna think of was..faster go homen zzzzz////
