Bloghop Shopping...

Dunno is it a new trend nowadays or
isit I orbit dunno about such shops..
Recently my good fren Regina set up
a blogshop selling clothes..

So I supported her by buying these 2 dresses..

Nautical Sailorette Tube Dress
SGD 27 (10% discount)

Laceful Elegance Dress
SGD 27 (10% discount)

Guess wat??

I managed to squeeze into both the dresses..
But abit tight, which I already knew it before I buy
cos I did a pit-to-pit measurement..
Means length in inches from arm pit to arm pit..

As my fren suggested that I take my dress and measure
the length from arm pit to arm pit..
Wah accurate leh..

Nonetheless, I still ordered it
cos I loved these 2 dresses..
And these 2 dresses now will be my
motivation to my weight loss program..

25 Oct 09 Sunday

Time for family activities again!

We were deciding whether to skate or let Chelsia play sand..
But if we skate, Chelsia only can sit there and look..
But if only play sand, Daryl and I will be bored..
So we combined!
Parked at a faraway free carpark in ECP,
then we skated to the Castle Beach near the Hawker Centre.
Took off our skates and Chelsia can play!

The previous time she didn't dare to crawl on the sand..
Now this time she dared to move around on her own.

She's so happy crawling around..

Found a piece of leaf and she gave it to me..
So cute, she liked crawling on the sand and
when I want to carry her, she zoomed off and I had to chase..
Lolz..

This is the third monday after the maid left. Been so occupied with chores and didn't have the time to blog.

Still manageable for me, I'll just do the chores when Chelsia naps in the afternoon.

A typical day would be like this:

8am- Chelsia wakes and have breakfast while I prepare her lunch
9am- Skating @ ECP then lunch
12noon - Home to bathe Chelsia and she naps
1pm-Clean the house, wash dishes, do laundry, prepare Chelsia's dinner.
4pm-Chelsia wakes. Have a snack and go gaigai.
6pm-Dinner
8pm-Home, Chelsia bathes
9+pm-Chelsia goes to sleep.

After which I can wash dishes, milk bottles and bathe myself then sleep.
Multi-tasking is the key word.
Also thanks to my good pals for doing a good job.
-Delphin vacuum cleaner
-Tefal 3 tier steamer
-Samsung washing machine
-Dryer
Also, Daryl and my mil who help me out with some things at times. So without a maid I still survive.

Today is a kind of off day for me cos the part time maid is here to help me out. Tat's why I have time to blog using my handphone, which means not many pictures I can upload.

What's happening in my life now..

Just sacked my maid
Looking for renovation ideas
Doing housework & taking care of Chelsia

1. When Chelsia started to reject the maid, I didn't find it strange at all. But after awhile the rejection reaction is soo strong then it set me thinking. So I think she must have bullied Chelsia in some way cos Chelsia is friendly to anyone, even the Auntie downstairs she also let her carry. So MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG..

Decided not to have a maid anymore as she is quite redundant. When she is around, I'm so free until dunno wat to do in the afternoons. Basically just facebook & chat all day.. Since I'm not lactating anymore, I decided not to have her, save $ for reno also.
So I checked with her whether she want a transfer or go home, she chose to go home. So no more maid.

2. New house will TOP in 2010. Rumours say 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter.. Whatever it is, such rumours do make me happy for the moment.. So sourcing for ID (interior design) firms now but ID = cost more for the designing. Looking for reno ideas myself then maybe get a contractor and I'll be the ID myself..

I like this TV feature wall with lotsa storage..
But no open shelf for me cos dust will restttt...

Shoe cabinet...
I like the empty space in between cos
when you take off your shoes, you sure
need to put down your keys, bags or handphone, etc..
But of cos I would a Bio metric door like
my BFF Gabby's house..

Many storage space at the bedside table too..
And since its built all the way down..
No need to sweep the bottom..

But then all these are just ideas,
not what my house will look like...

3. The maid left on sunday and I started doing housework on Monday. So I took out my very good vaccuum cleaner to clean the room and the house. Wah very very good, the 1st day I vaccuum, very dirty.. Then subsequently the 2nd day, not so dirty anymore, means WHAT WAS THE MAID DOING ALL ALONG?

I also mopped the floor, small house very easy, did laundry.. I finished the chores so fast, last time the maid must mo 1 whole day.. Then quality still not to my expectation but since she's taking care of my baby, I seldom 'hiam' or scold her.. But then she is not so nice to my precious baby already.. So off you go, bye bye...

My new helper, Delphin!!!!
I love you..

Poor Chelsia...

Chelsia had fever for the since Sunday
So Monday brought her to see the PD.
Had a gruelling time at the clinic cos must test urine
then gotta collect urine, paste the urine bag on her 'down there',
she cried.

But the urine bag keep dropping, paste 3 times cry 3 times..
after that she see the examining table only she scared, also cry..
Keep clapping her hands when she cry on the examining table,
indicating that she wans 'bao bao' by clapping.
Then the urine bag din managed to collect any urine,
the PD did an urine extraction procedure (poke 'down there' to let urine flow out)
she cry n cry also.

Then came back home had fever for Monday and Tuesday,
so medication was alternate Panadol syrup and the 'put backside' medicine.
She cried and cried when I put the bullet into the anus.
So poor thing, after I change diaper for her only,

she also tot I'm gonna do something to her, cry also..
Wednesday, no more fever but she was only awake
for 5 hours the whole day.

Today she got rashes on the body so went to see the PD,
the virus she kena is actually called False Measles (roseola).
So after rashes come out, means ok already.
Now she's recovering..

Give thanks to the Lord..

What is roseola?

Roseola is an infection caused by a virus.

The infection is common in children aged 6 to 24 months.

It is rare in children younger than 4 months or older than 4 years.

What are the symptoms of roseola?

Roseola starts out with a fever. After several days, the fever disappears and a rash appears, mainly on the child's face and body. The rash consists of small red spots which last for a day or two. Most children are not very sick during the fever stage of the infection.

It is difficult to diagnose roseola until the rash has appeared.

A physician can tell if the child's fever is due to roseola or some other more serious infection.

How is roseola transmitted?

Roseola is not very infectious. It is not known how it spreads from person to person. Children with roseola get better without any treatment and complications are very rare

Labels: False Measles, roseola

Chelsia's Lunar Birthday Celebration
at Great Grandmother's Hse
26 Sep 09

Since Chelsia's birthday falls under the Lunar 7th month,
my grandmother suggested that we do it on
her Lunar birthday which is 八月初十二

and we did it on a Saturday 初八.

To make it special for Chelsia,
I set up a playground for her..

And to differentiate it from any other family gathering,
I put up banner to show that
it's Chelsia's birthday party..

Birthday girl high chair!

Playtime!

Presenting the Birthday Girl!

Playgroup of various ages..

Time for Dinner!

The long awaited $350 Canele dark chocolate cake!

Our little baby is now 1!

Cut cake time..

Solid Dark Chocolate cake must use real knife to cut..
Plastic knife not strong enough..

Bonding time..

Hello Kitty Candle..

Actually the highlight of this party was a 13min video that
took me 4 days to make.. Its Chelsia's 1st year journey..
Re-cap of memories..
But can't upload in blogger cos the limit is 100mb
and my video is 150mb..

To let her get used to it..

Gymboree Day!

Bubbles time!

Playground at home..

Nowadays I found a toys rental website to rent toys,
for ppl who have budget & space constraint..
And every mth, Chelsia can have new toys to play with..

Slide: $18 for a month.
Fun: Priceless

Learning Table: $22 a month
She doesn't really like it.
She prefers the slide..

Kiasu Parents,
trying out skates first so when Chelsia learns
how to walk, she also learn how to walk
on skates too..
Chad Hedrick also learnt walking on skates..

Sunday Morning at ECP!!!!

Chelsia using her Uvex sunglasses for the 1st time..

Usually she pulls it out but after telling her that it's sunny
out there and showing her that Mummy & Daddy also wearing,
she just left it on..

Or maybe she sees that everyone at the beach also
looking cool with a pair of shades, she left hers on..

Halterneck top to be a Beach Babe..

No one take picture for us, so our family portrait have to separate....

Daryl and Natasha were racing on this day
so the rest of us decided to have a picnic there..

Nathan (my nephew) & Finny (my sil)

My baby!!!

Menu for our picnic..

Chicken pies & Curry Puffs

Ham & Cheese Sandwiches

Snacks & Fruits

PINK Pringles

Kao Luck

Rules for the 100m sprint was that
wheels cannot be bigger than 80mm..
So Daryl had to make his set up so sparstic..
Speed boot with small wheels,
looked so funny..

Din really understand why they have such a restriction..
But anyway also good, just in case ppl may think
that Daryl can skate fast becos he has big wheels..
Small wheels also the same for him..

The kids are having fun, Kirsten is drawing
what's happening in the shed..

The family race.. At the start line..

Kirsten is tired, so Chelsia tompanged her..
Lucky our jogger is heavy duty..

Zoo Trip #2

Although it's a PH on 21 Sep but
the reservist ppl decides to have exercise on Monday instead..
So Friday was Daryl's public holiday..

We go to the zoo again!

Chelsia looking at the otter..

Otters..
They look much cuter at night in night safari..

Busy looking at the Guanaco..

What's a Guanaco?
It's called 骆马
So shud be mixed breed of 骆驼 (camel) + 马 (horse)
Nowadays animals also got Eurasians 1..
In a way also good, add more variety to the zoo
instead of the same boring animals..

The poor Polar bear in the hot Singapore..

Suddenly it drizzled..

So we open the weather shield for the first time!

This is so cool, further confirmed our decision
to buy this jogger was a very good one..

Little window for me to give her snacks..

Surprisingly, it's designed in such a way that
it's well ventilated and Chelsia will not be hot in it..
*She did not fuss or sweat*

Conclusion, things that Mothercare sell are definitely good..
Cos if not good, they dun sell..
Well, at least in my opinion...

Saw this thing, got so excited asking it

to 'open'
But after some time, realised it's a PEAHEN..

We have reached the Kidz World!!

This expression comes from looking at goats..
She doesn't like furry things that moves..

Time for water play!

Time to go home..
An impending thunderstorm..

Tri-factor Series: Triathlon

My first mini triathlon..

This event is like tat, it's a series of 4 races.
First a swim, then a bike race, then a run,
the last is the triathlon where you combine all of which you had done..

So beginning of the year, I signed up for all 4..
Only $120 or so, somewhere around there..
Cheap or not?? In the end, I got 5 t shirts, 2 swim caps
and did 4 events..

Ok so 13 Sep 09 finally arrived!!

The transition area..
Last time only saw Daryl from outside the transition area
at Aviva 70.3 Ironman.. Now I can also go into a transitition area leh..

Daryl setting up his transition..

His transition area is so simple,
compared to mine..

Ok mine is coming up
.
.
.

3 bags hanging on the bar,
my running shoe bag + wet bag for dirty stuff and
a big pink bag for clean stuff but the most important
function of that bag is to add to the
color coordination of my transition area..

Ok why do you think I got so much space to hang 3 bags?
Cos I'm very lucky to get the end of the rack..
See the distance between me and my neighbour
is further than the rest..
*So thankful*

See my number tag also pink..
BUT my swim cap is not pink,
so sad...

Race Starts!
No time for pictures..Narration only..

First is the 200m metre swim, short short only..
Managed to do it within 10mins..

Second is the 10km bike ride,
also not too bad. Had a powergel before I go..
10km actually not very far, really..
If you go cycling on ECP often,
it's from fort rd end to safra end
Anyway this part of the transition was captured on tv,
CATCH ME ON SPORTS @ SG
this fri 18/9 10pm on Ch 5..

Third is the 2.4km run,
happily came back to put my bike and change my shoes,
was running out of transition, ^&%^#$%@@*
CRAMP!!!!! on my left thigh
Sat down on the ground to stretch twice..
Then I was thinking, oh no, after so much prep,
I'm gonna to walk my 2.4km?
NO WAY..
So I just run after walking abit,
thank God, no more cramp..
But feel abit tired.. So I am going to activate
the magic of my Powergel..
Drink some water to activate it..
Hmm It works well! Didnt walk anymore, just run n run..

Reach the finish line, so happy!!
Ok now I can go walk walk n see ppl already...

So I went back to transition to pack my stuff,
and there I saw Daryl coming in from his bike ride..

Faster take out camera to snap, he wears his knee guard..

Puts on his shoes, no socks 1..
Cos they wanna faster..
So the professionals wear cycling shoes & running shoes
without socks..

Hahha this time he remembers to take out his helmet..
Have you ever seen anyone running with his helmet on?

Waiting at the finish line for him..
No sight of him..

Image Check on the camera..
Getting ready for my interview..
So din get Daryl's finishing picture..

Tune in this Friday Ch 5 10pm k?
Eh who got DVD recorder, can record for me??
Pls sms me.. Thanks!

Chelsia's bdae party just happened over the weekend..
But we celebrated earlier as Daddy will be in reservist training
on her actual day..

Had a hard time thinking of what kind of party
to organise for her initially..
Chalet? Catering? Function Rm?
Meaningless for her since only the adults
will be catching up and every1 will just say 3 things
after looking at her..

"Ai yoh, so fast 1 year old liao! That time still baby leh"
"Wah, she's so cute"
"When are you having the 2nd one?"

So means if I have 20 guests, I will have to answer 20 times..
Which is 60 sentences to the above questions..
So must as well I hang a tag around me with
all the above answers..

Then I wanted to plan something which
she will enjoy during the moment..
Even though she wun remember,
but at least she was happy during the process..
Dun say she's 1 year old she dun remember,
I also can't remember what I did on my 21st birthday party..
*Do you remember yours?*

So we had a party at Gymboree,
had a hard time looking for 10 kids to come..
Cos the party package deal for was 10 kids (including Chelsia),
means u have 7 or 8 kids u also pay the same amount..
So I find and find..
In the end I found 12 kids..
Then 2 kids no call no show on that day,
so I'm still left with 10 kids..

*Thanks to all that attended, Chelsia was really happy*

Getting ready to go out..

At the lift lobby

During the journey..

We've reached Gymboree..

Granny & Chelsia

She is really good at conducting parties..

Name tag for Chelsia..

THE PARTY STARTS!!

CK & his cutie Elayna

Welcome song..

Sliding down the really high ladder..

Is he familiar?
It's Sky!!

The birthday parade around the playground..

CUT CAKE TIME!!!!

Hello Kitty Cake..

She seems to know what she is doing..

Bubbles time!

Individual bubble popping for the birthday girl..

Dancing time..

Sky & Senior Sky..
Same factory..

I think I like the party cos structured activities are conducted,
so that the kids and adults dun do nothing..
In fact they are learning, especially the younger ones..
Most important, my baby was so happy..

Apologies to those I couldn't invite,
as Gymboree has an age limit..
Only kids under 5yrs are allowed..
So we missed Faith, Kieran, Sheena, Bryan, Shannon,
Enya, Annabelle, Annalisa..

Snack Time..

Hope my guests did eat enough..
I had so much food left..

A better look at the cake...

My $8.90 candle..

Colleagues, we all gave birth months apart from each other..

PRESENTS!!

Thanks to Fern for the wedding gift..
Hehe now then we managed to meet up..

It's a jewel box..

Thanks to all..

Happy 1st Birthday to Chelsia!!!

I found a place to buy beautiful baby hairclips
that are so light and your baby will not notice it
so she will not pull it out!

These 3 clips cost me $13!
It's handmade, ribbons are of very good quality..
Around $3.90 for 1..
Sinma also the same price right..

This is FREE!!!

A stainless pot for baby cooking..
But what is the condition of getting it free?

I have to let the salesman to come my hse and do a Delphin demo..
And after his demo, we were convinced by its functions
but took a long time to be convinced to spend $3ooo on this machine.

After 2 days of using it, it's good..
It removes dustmites from your mattress and
acts as an indoor air purifier..
.
.
.
WHAT IS THIS????

House dust mites
are microscope bugs that live on dead skin cells
shed from humans and their animal pets.

Dust mites are harmless to most people.
They don't carry diseases, but they can cause allergic reactions
in asthmatics and others who are allergic to their feces.

Since the average human sloughs off 1/3 ounce (10 grams)
of dead skin a week.
That gives dust mites a lot to eat.
Cats and dogs create far more dander for dust mites to eat.

Beds are a prime habitat (where 1/3 of life occurs).
A typical used mattress may have anywhere from
100,000 to 10 million mites inside.
(Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow
can be composed of dead mites and their droppings.)

Source http://www.ehso.com/ehshome/dustmites.php

So for Chelsia, we bought this machine to get rid of these creatures.
This machine will also act as an air purifier for the room,
we just have to on it for 20 mins before Chelsia sleeps.
This is our prevention act for asthma & allergies..
