It's finally

Friday, after having struggled at work for the entire week while at home struggled to complete chores, be a mother as well as a wife, a friend.......just so many obligations.
.

.
Sitting in the office now waiting for the clock to strike 5.30pm is really wonderful as my mind flashes Saturday and Sunday (2 days) activities to look forward to.
.
I'll like to watch at least a movie at home over the weekend after putting dear son to sleep, read a worthy book while able to finish as much of housework as possible and yes, churn at least a good decent home-cook meal on Saturday.
.
Sunday would probably be a relax day as hubby is not working - Looking forward to a family outing though, provided the weather permits!

Yesterday was

the Old Girls cool night out arranged since Monday.
.
.
4 of us (old secondary school classmates) met at Crystal Jade Kitchen for dinner at Holland-V after work and dear son tagged along with us last evening.
.
We had a cool few hours chatting over, giggling and the "woooo-ahhhhs" over each and every of our daily married lives sharing. One very good news (probably already out-dated for the ANG Mistress) is that our dear Janice is now into her 4th month of pregnancy! Hooray Hooray, another lady in the mother's league.
.
We can't wait until her expected due date of delivery in End-Nov this year!
.
Dear son was mostly very obedient throughout the dinner and chit-chat session. He was mostly self-entertaining himself in the restaurant and occasionally the focus of topic amongst us ladies. As a reward for his best behavior, dear boy was rewarded with a little cupcake that he chose for himself.
.
That cupcake, kept him to the table for.........less than 10 minutes? Awwwwwhhhhhhhhh...........looking forward to more frequent girls night out already!

Paid a visit

to a good friend's place in JB yesterday along with Mr Chua and family.
.
By 8.00am, we cleared the 2nd link and we're well on our way to join the rest in JB for a planned Bah Kut Teh (肉骨茶) breakfast up Bukit Tinggi route.
.
The children get to join us for this 1 day outing and tasted for the first time this yummilicious 肉骨茶 breakfast, whose outlet is located in the middle of no-man's land and we also don't know how to tell except marking the location in our GPS gadget.
.
After getting the tummies filled, we routed back to our friend's place and went nearby to get our regular cheap groceries which is a usual practise whenever we're in JB.
.
The gentlemen had a little task to complete amongst themselves while the woman-folks minded their children and waited around before all checked out the nearby JUSCO mall by the early afternoon.
.
Our first stop is at the Old Town outlet in the mall, for a good cup of coffee and some munchies after having long digested from the earlier Bah Kut Teh (肉骨茶) breakfast.
.
.
We ordered some kaya bread and 半生熟蛋 to go along with our coffee and tea which is rather conservative as in our minds, we're expecting the yummy seafood dinner in the evening at Todak around Masai area.
.

.
After our tea-break, the children were all energetic the entire day skipping their regular afternoon naps and still dancing to the rhythm of music echoing from a nearby speaker.
.

.
We reunited with the rest during dinner time and our table ate a good wholesome seafood spread before we leave for home.

.
Yup, we've finally touched our humble abode 15 mins before midnight and all hands are busy at settling the household down - putting dear son to bed and packing up our purchases and freshening up.
.

A final drink after putting things in order and a quick read of the local news via the internet before dropping sound asleep at 1am.
.
.
Ahhhh........YAWN............life is a breeze!!!!!......don't you think so? "zzzzz...........ZZ............zZZZz............zzZzzZZZ........zzzZZzzz". (snoring)....................

We met

Baby Ashton for the first time today.
.

.
Born on 25 April, he is the lovely second born of Uncle Steven and Aunty Yoke Mui - our dear neighbour living two floors above us and also the parents of pretty Chloe Mei Mei.
.

.
Baby Ashton is very handsome and adorable. He looks very alike his elder sister Chloe. Mummy loved him to bits when she saw him today and she cannot take her eyes off him.
.
As for dear son, he was busy playing with Chloe Mei Mei the moment he steps into their place, both busy entertaining themselves with Chloe's toys.
.

.
The adults tucked themselves comfortably with the buffet spread ordered from Neo garden. The food was yummy and we had several of us neighbours around to chit-chat while enjoying our food!
.

.
Dear son delayed his lunch until past 1pm as he was earlier busy playing with Chloe Mei Mei. It was only when Mummy asked him to prepare to leave for home that he realizes his grumbling tummy.

We went for

Kiet's 3rd dental review today.
.

.
This time at a dental centre located within NUH.
.
Kiet enjoyed his dental experience very much as Dr Mok was really very patient and interestingly explaining dear son's tooth condition to him hence he probably found it very pleasant.
.
Dr Mok found decolouration on the front upper row of Kiet's tooth and that was mainly attributed by the fact that Kiet is still drinking milk from his bottle - a habit since infant time that's hard to kick away, especially whenever he's at home.
.
After treating one of his front decolouration, Dr Mok decided that the treatment was enough; at least for his first experience and advised Mummy to bring him back again soon for the other tooth's decolouration treatment.
.

Before leaving Dr Mok's clinic, Ms Yvonne, the nurse assistant gave Kiet a variety of stickers to choose from and our dear boy picked a few stickers of Lightning McQueen and Ben 10 along with dinosaurs and Winnie-the-Pooh. What a boy! He even mentioned that he's going to share and show his stickers to his school-mates when he returned.
.
and Yes, the next appointment with Dr Mok is another 3 weeks time - Definitely. Mummy is so happy with the experience too!

Last weekend

is a breeze, ...........finally.
.
Dear son is well back to his normal self since Friday and we welcomed Daddy back in town at Terminal 2 on Saturday morning, in the company of Ms Wong and dear son's buddy Poh Ong.
.
We ordered some snacks & drinks at YA KUN while waiting for Daddy's arrival at Belt 31.
.

.
Dear son was excited upon sighting his daddy as he had missed Daddy badly over the past few days; moreover having been ill earlier. On the other hand, the father had worried his heart sick over dear boy's health. We can tell that he is definitely very relieved seeing a lively and cheerful boy when he returns.
.
.
While on Sunday, we left for Robinsons at Centrepoint after Mummy gets her household chores done in the morning. Mummy had promised to bring dear son out for a while since he had behaved well and of course, the fact that he was confined at home earlier to nurse his health. Daddy had to report for work on Sunday morning hence no point idling at home; that would be a waste for the rest of us.
.
Both mum and son enjoyed their
Robinson's shopping. Adding some more boxers for Daddy, another pair of shoes for Mummy and buying a steel WMF pan at a mere 19 bucks.
.

.
After paying for our loots, we found a seat at the Toast Box for a late tea-break. Dear son had his toast and milo while Mummy ordered a cup of hot tea to quench her thirst.
.
Not long, we're on our way to pick up our "L", heading for nap-time at home. Evening, needless to say, after a home-cooked dinner, all of us rested our feet and await for the next week to arrive.

I'm fighting

away the Zzzzzzz-monster in the office today.
.
After several days of managing in-between work, home and a sick child, I'm almost on the verge of walking on thin line - falling ill myself. The rushing about and humid weather is definitely not helping so the herbal tea is of great help for the time being.
.

.
Feeling really tired after 3 nights of late & disturbed sleep, it's harder today to fight that Zzzzzzz-monster. While still trying to win the sleepy battle, I'll continue to fight on and endure until Daddy returns on Saturday - so I can hand-over the family baton and rest for a while.

Another

hectic day starts right from this early morning.
.
Sensing that dear son's fever is not so usual after all, Mummy decided to bring her boy to the doctor today before bringing him to his granny's. While queuing for dear son's turn, Mummy quickly brought him to his favourite Provence cafe for a simple wassant breakfast.
.
.
Truth beholds! Mummy's told that Kiet is down due to another tonsillitis inflammatory. SIGH!!!!! Why that again?!? Mummy is so heart wrecked after hearing that her dear son's tonsils are making him sick.
.
All thanks to Dr Linda Ng for her detailed and thorough checkup, we finally left the family doctors' with a bagful of medications after spending almost 45mins there.
.
Dear son was settled with granny after the clinical consultation while Mummy headed out for work. By evening, Mummy fetches her dear boy home and give him another round of medications for his inflammation.
.
Fortunately for Mummy, dear son is without much fuss despite his condition which makes Mummy more assured and confident while Daddy is now outstationed.
.
and Oh..........., for the benefit of Kiet's daddy, here's a little message from the lovely boy to you:
.

Today is mostly spent

nursing dear son's fever.
.
He was found to be lethargic and running a fever during dinner-time last evening after returning from the daycare.
.
With the recent unpredictable weather condition, no wonder most people are coughing, sneezing, down with flu or fever. Sigh - This is THE FLU SEASON for a tropical place like ours!
.
Still looking cheerful despite the temperature, Mummy brought her dear boy out for lunch at IMM to keep him happy instead of being coped up at home. At the same time, shop for groceries for dinner. Aunty Christina happened to be free today hence mummy invited her to join in the lunch session
.
.
Dear son is so happy to be out in the mall. He was in high spirits being able to come out from the house and have a few hours of open space!
.
Dinner is consumed at the comfort of home and Mummy invited Aunty Christina over for a meal since it's more logical to cook for at least 3 pax. The evening was then simple, completed with a plate of fruits and for dear son, medicine! Hopefully, dear son gets well in a day or two.

Packing

Yup that's right.
.
.
We're doing the last few packing job after putting dear son to bed. Indeed we're one of those few travellers undeterred by the Influenza A flu outbreak but decided to go ahead with our flying plans tomorrow afternoon.

Dancing Boy

That's right.
.
Our shyless boy is showing off his stance while listening to Jolin's new song - 大丈夫.
.

.
That's one way to spend the weekend eh?

Happy May Day 2009!

We idled this morning thinking of where to hang out. Before long, we landed at Holland-V for our breakfast at Provence followed by a trip down to the Horse-City at Turf club road.
.
We only realised when we arrived there; that there's no pony feeding or horse riding this morning. The only place packed is "PICOTIN", packed with diners. We guess it's perhaps due to the public holiday.
.
With a disappointed child with us, we had to quickly change our morning plan. We U-turned and headed home to grab our swimming gear. Yes, to the swimming pool - here we come!
.

.
While the dad and his son enjoy their dip, Mummy took the opportunity to quickly turn around "L". Mummy gave "L" a quick water splash to clear the surface dirt/mud, added a detailed internal wipe and carpet vacuum. By 1pm, the family packed up, shower the child and headed home for the delayed lunch. The Zzzzzzz-monster took over the limelight shortly after lunch and washing up.
.
.
By evening, we chose to check out Toa Payoh central for dinner since we've not been to that area for a long time. After dinner proper, we shopped around those nitty grtty shops and later to chance upon a huge tentage area of "Pasar Malam" stalls nearby the Library.
.

.
Our family loved "Pasar Malam" for the food and the nitty items sold at the market. Most of the items are very interesting and when one is lucky, one might get something he/she like at a cheap price. We hung around until almost at 9.30pm that we decided to return home. After shower, dear son is cuddled to sleep while the parents glued themselves to a little movie-date before ending the May day. How we wish we could always have a longer weekend huh?
.

.
Happy Labor Day Everyone!
