Say baby!

Kaitlin flipped my shirt, patted my bloated tummy n said baby. :)
I asked her didi or meimei, 'Mei Mei' was her answer.

Kaitlin's hfmd when she turned 18 mths that week.

It happened unexpectedly.  Right after good friday that weekend, that sunday she had fever and spots were seen on her feet, arms and body.  PD confirmed straight away after seeing her ulcers in her mouth.  She had fever on Saturday, which i thought was due to the honeystars I fed her that sat morning.  Causing her too heaty.  Din expected that to be a bigger issue than that.

Quarantined for 1 week with her, at the beginning of the week, she could not eat and drink well.  Her ulcers caused so much pain to her, her appetite went down.  could only served her cold milk, cold chrysanthemum tea and barley water.  Any solid she couldn't take.  Good that, she still likes to eat banana which could help to fill her stomach.

Flower of my day

Bought this beautiful orange daisy @ Tiong Bahru market. Costed only $0.60 , good buy I think. Brighten up my house a bit. 😊

Brunch @ Robert Timms restaurant

@ orchard shopping centre, near H&M mall. I ordered a 3-ways toast n Tiong -San ordered a big bang. My other frens ordered wraps. My dish is pretty filling n so was my hubby. 3 way toast, has poached egg, sautéed mushroom and turkey sausage with multi-grain toast. It was a satisfied meal afterall. One Fren ordered hazelnut latte and special request for a bear latte art. Very cute. Unusual than the normal leave latte art.

My Macbook airport revive!

Sent it to Apples service center @ Wheelock for hardware change on Airport card on Sunday.  Very fast, I got back my Macbook by today.  Lucky, Tiong-san bought Apple protection plan (APP),  my service for this did not require additional charges and covered in the APP.

Heng ah, this coverage lasts till this year Sep, up to 3 years.

Cheese sauce

Just need 2 simple ingredients:
1) milk, about 100ml
2) soft cheese: cheddar cheese, about 1/3 of the cheese block.

Steps to prepare the sauce:
1) Boil the milk in a saucepan.
2) Slowly add the cheese bits by bit or slice by slice.
3) Keep stirring till cheese is fully melt in the milk.

The brands of milk n cheese I used were, meiji fresh milk and Kraft cheddar cheese.

PS: Never use parmesan cheese as the ingredient, will not melt.

Heard from Wang Yng, added onions in the sauce will enhance the flavour.

Toddler n kids can eat this sauce. Taste well when mix with rice or pasta.  Can be frozen n keep in the freezer.

She keeps waking up every night in these 2 weeks!

Probably is her growth spurt! I wish it better be. Woke up in random hours, shouting for milk. Each time she finished her milk, and I also up her milk intake during the day. Hopefully it just an interim. These 2 weeks were oso my hard times to coax this lil gal to nap. Each time she sure will cry to protest. She tired I oso tired. Her poor daddy oso can't escape, night duties belongs to him. Pitied him that he had disturbing sleeps from her. Pls spare us, dear lil tigress.

My MacBook airport is died!

Feel a bit crippled w/o my MacBook to surf Internet. I still type faster using keyboard n prefer that more than the touchscreen keyboard. I Like the sound when the buttons being pressed down. Back to airport card, looks like I need to send it to service before my warranty is over in this year.

鼻涕虫

My gal is one such worm.  Her nose has been running for as long as i can't rem.   Given running nose med ddin't seems to help.  So one fine day after a nap, i just rem that someone mentioned to cover their feet with socks when sleeping at night and spread a thin layer of baby vicks might helped.  Decided to try this remedy on her for a week or so and noticed her mucus at night was lesser.  But daytime, when she cries, her running mucus still a lot n hard to get rid.

Sembawang god of wealth temple

Do u know god of wealth temple does to 安太岁 for people that conflict this year?

Amazingly, this temple is quite savvy, I found this info on google when helping Tiong-San searching for this svcs.

My first time n first visit to this temple was on last Saturday. A big tentage was built for 安太岁 outside the temple. I watched a simple ritual done by the priest on 安太岁, the whole thing took ard less than an hr to complete. The package that needed during the ritual costs $15. Of cos there were other add-ons to the package that up to individual to buy, such as the tai Sui amulet, etc. I was pretty impressed that it was pretty organized by the temple n many devoters/followers came to pray. From one the papers that allowed to bring home, I also gotten to know that for the year of snake, monkey clashes with the tai sui deity. Friends that born in the year of monkey, may considered to pray on the next lunar month. I have decided to go to this temple next year to pray for smooth ride.

Sharing another info, there are 60 tai sun deities which they rotate every year to take care of all the matters in that year.

Omg, where have I been?

I'm not been keeping up in my blog as long as I can't remembered.

Where in the world have I been?

Surely I am with the others in 2012 physically, where my mind have been to?

Ever since being a 24/7 sahm (stay at home mum), my energy of concentration has mostly drain onto her (my daughter). By the time, she fall asleep, my mind has been to TV, whatsapp with other mummies and myself. Where is my priority for my hubby? I should be ashamed of myself, shall do some reflections on my doings so far. Sounded serious, am I ?

To certain extent, yes, I think I need to reflect on myself. To some points or sometimes, I do deserve to have some of such 'luxury'.

Meantime, one of my resolution for this year that I should do, is to put up more regular updates in my blog. Things I have done, seen, feel, heard n tasted, should record more in my blog. To prepare for one day that I may turn senile ( reminded me of adora chia).
