Once in a Lifetime illness

Both Qian Yi and me are down with chicken pox since last week. We started off with fever and discomfort till I found the 1st few spots surface our body on Monday morning. Without further delay, we quickly send Qian Thung back to mother in law house + bring her for the chicken pox vaccination on the same day we diagnosed with the pox.

For me, it's just a contagious disease but it's not a laughing matter to the elderly, especially my mum. She has imposed several Do and Don't list for the 2 of us. I felt like as if I am observing another round of confinement.

In short, minus out all the body reddess and itchiness causing by these countless of chickenpox blisters, we are rather happy to quarantine ourself at our own nest for this 2 weeks.

Activities that occupied QY's time is none other than by the dear box - TV. I lifted my usual rigid rules by allowing her to watch endless tv program all day long. Whereas for myself, just managed to catch up with some reading and net-surfing from day 5 onwards.

Besides, my cooking skill also improve to another level through multiples cooking session of lunch and dinner for 2 of us. I have never ever cook for more than 2 days consecutive in the past, but this round I cook for a consecutive of almost 2 weeks.

Last good new is I managed to shed off some stubborn fat from the body, brought forward from the 2nd pregnancy end of 2008. Qian Yi too has lost some of the baby fat. She looks quite petite now, will post up her latest photos later.

Another suffering besides the painful blisters is we are just missing our little companion so much ... but glad to know that she is under good hand of both grand parent.

Where is your eye?

This is a backdated post. Encountered some technical issue in uploading this video clip last few months until just now.

Enjoy!!!

QT @ 1 yr 2 mo

Recent lack of update and posting on my girls was mainly due to lack of nice photos taken...

At 1 yr and 2 months, QT is

- very cheecky and 'baleco' towards mommy. May be that is her way of testing how deep is mommy love to her.
- she can understand instruction given such as throw rubbish, go and sleep, go and take shoe and etc etc
- she likes to play with her jie jie.
- her weight is 10.4kg only. Just completed her 4 dose of pneumococal.

Wake up at 5am and started our journey at 5.30am.

Reached Kellie castle after having sumptous dim sum breakfast at Fu San. History of the castle can be read from here...



I took the opportunity to introduce and explain what is a Castle means to QY, and try to link it to the castle in the Snow white fairy tale. She was very fascinated with it.

Graduation cum Concert

I signed up QY to participate in one of the performance few months back for her school Graduation cum Concert. She still has one more year to go with this kindy before she is officially entering primary school in 2011.

My little girl waited patiently despate there was almost an hour delayed...



All the little graduates were waiting to receive their scroll from the principal Ms Christy. It may be one of the precious day to remember in their life as they growing up. Once upon a time, I was one of them ...

I am truly impressed by the children performance tonight. Believe it must be under good guidance/patient from the teachers over the past few weeks/months...

Kudos to all the children and teachers...

New member

Introducing newbies in my family...

Qian Yi and Qian Thung's new cousin sister - Thung Yuan, born exactly one year after QT. Both of them can celebrate birthday on the same day from next year onwards.

Birthday celebration (Part 2)

Annual birthday celebration is not a tradition in my family culture when I was young, the only birthday celebration that I remembered was my 21st birthday buffet party. haha..

Having said that, we still make it a point to celebrate the kids birthday... not once, but twice a year.

Combine birthday cake for my 2 girls.



The 4 kids in the house...



QT blowing the candle, witnessed by her only jie jie and cousins.

Best Girl Award

I remembered during our schooling times, there were awards such as Best Student of the year being given to those student with good academic performance and good behaviour.

Last nite, QT has won a special award ~ Best girl in the house, given by paternal ah mah. :)



My in-law has a total of 4 granddaughters, aged from 7 mths old to 7 years old as well as a 17 months old grandson. QT is the second youngest in the family. The house is either full of laughter after laughter or fighting noise, and followed by crying by either one of the kid .... QT is the only one making least noise among this group of children, as such ah mah decided to crown her as Best Girl in the house award.

Congratulation, QT!!! Keep up the good work.

QY is 5 today

My big girl is 5 today. No longer a small girl like past 4 years, she express her thought to me that she would like to celebrate her big day of the year with her dearest classmate and teacher.

A simple cake with 5 candles excite her the whole night.

From her smile, i know how happy she is today at that moment.



With her best friend, Taguchi Haruka

Her class of K1 Kindess. I spend some time with her to shop for the party goodies, and engage her into the packing process. Barbie bag are for girls, and Bob the builders bad are for boys...

Looking back the past 5 years, I am so glad and thankful that I have her as my girl... Mommy wish u happy birthday and may you have a good life ahead.

QT @ 12 mo

She has just officially turned to a toddler on 2 Sept... I can't really accept the fact that she is 1 yr old now. Time flies... Recalled back the past 1 yr, every bits and pieces was just like yesterday only... the very 1st moment we saw and met each other on the hospital bed, those mid-night milk pumping session, her 1st smile, her 1st teething, and many 1st milestones was so remarkable even though she is our second girl.

At 1 yr old,

- She can stand up by herself but she still can't walk. Looking forward for her 1st step soon.

- She started to talk few words, like mama, jie jie, owl, mum mum, and e e ah ah..

- I bought her her 1st shoe. She love it so much that she always wanted to wear by herself whenever she see that shoe

- She laughs loudly when we play with her
