noise is building up at my place

worked pretty late on friday and went back office again on sat morning for another work-thru-the-weekend work... received joelle's call at noon, that she is having a terrible headache... and so, i got to leave work behind and go home...

reached home and found a pale joelle on bed with megan playing by herself... i'm torn...

 

on the lighter side... there are some videos of megan to share:

1. her new habit of lips playing

 

2. her fav song lately (just like her mum)

 

3. 爸爸八八巴巴?

 

4. bear bear...

 

i think my house is getting nosier soon...

the hairclip effect

this afternoon, we're going out again... this time, we're attending joelle's cousin's wedding lunch... at the bt.batok hilltop garden... and so, get megan all dressed up and looking sweet with the tiny little pinkie hairclip... so sweet that we can't help taking shots of her...

 

 

here we are, the hilltop garden... nice garden wor...

ah... finally got a shot with valerie... gosh, she is already 8 years old wor...

and our little angel got a lot of attention herself too... lotsa relatives wanting to get their hands on her... must be the hairclip effect... :P

my goodness, never knew attending wedding lunch can be so tiring... we went back to mil's place after the wedding, and almost the whole family knocked out... and i'm still feeling tired now... and i hate monday...

toufu and fish

ytd morning, got megan all dressed, dolled, looking pretty and sweet, and all ready for...

her vaccination... while holding her number tag at the clinic, we're wondering whats going on in her little head, whether she realised she is going to get it today... :P

we're administering the rotavirus dose and the prevenar vaccine for megan... this is the 2nd and last dose of rotavirus for megan, which helps to fight against severe diarrhoea... and the 1st of the 4 vaccine of prevenar, which helps to fight against the pneumococcal disease (infection of the brain spreading from person to person in close contact, especially in childcare centers...)

we had our doubt about giving megan her prevenar shot... and so, seek doc adrain's advise today (as today is joelle's appointment with her gynae). he strongly advise us to give megan her shot, and to give her all the shot that prevent diseases that causes death in infants... he even had a case of a 6th month infant death due to the pneumococcal disease...

as vivid as he put it "go get all the vaccine lah, better than to kanna and then got to take leave to look after baby right? rotavirus? good good good, must give... don't think diarrhoea only hor... adults diarrhoea 3, 4 days still can eat cha kuay tiao, but baby 1 day only the eyes sunken liao..."

and so, megan 'ganna' her prevenar vaccine... 4 vaccinations each causing $143... and her last dose of rotavirus at $81... (daddy swallowing saliva...)

as the doc advised, the prevenar shot is kinda painful, and megan cried her heart out and after which, stared at the doc angrily... wow, so young, so attitude... haa... and off we went to long john for lunch...

went back home, and napped... and then, got ourselves ready to go orchard... today, we're having an early b'day celebration for my dad...

the orchard x-mas lightings are up! but its so boring nowadays... maybe because of the gloomy economy, all the lightings got kinda 'budgeted'... the herren, uses 6 wreaths and arranged them to look like a x-mas tree and that's all... kaoz... really budget lor... i think, i get more blink and fun with the x-mas decor at rachel's than this gloomy orchard road...

and taka is using the same ole big x-mas tree...

here we are, at the crystal jade at taka... nowadays, with megan able to sit up straight, high chairs are so handy... and we started to audit all the high chairs and found that, the high chair at mcd are so stupidly designed... baby can bend forward and hitting their head on the table... 

now... 我家最老跟我家最小... :)

 

a very full dinner... but halfway thru the dinner, while feeding megan fish and toufu, she suddenly looked choky and cried... scared the shit out of us, thinking that she is choking on fish bones... and while carrying her out of the restaurant, megan puked all over me... but she got better after that... she is just too full lah... phew... and ewww, all those toufu and fishy smell on me...

updates...

and finally, the weekend is here... tiring week... is it workload getting heavier or me getting older? kept feeling tired... haiz...

anyway, the loks are doing fine these few days, except having a very bad experience with kfc delivery on thursday evening, where the food is sloggy, salty and cold...

and i just paid off a $2k+ bill... electric bills, internet bills, phone bills, credit card bills... and a major part of it goes to the spa treatment we rewarded ourselves, and megan's visit to the pd, once kfc delivery, once mcd delivery and once pizza delivery, and some other "cham cham chui chui" thingy... oh well, got to tighten up the pocket liao... :P

oh, on tuesday nite, i was on nite shift when megan woken up in the middle of the nite... as she usually wants milk in 5 hours interval, and its only 4 hours since her last fed, i just gave her some water and pat her... as i was closing my eyes while patting megan, i didn't know what she was doing until i opened my eyes to look at her when she isn't making any sound... and there she was, looking desperately at her bottle (that is on top of her pillow) and stretching out her arms trying to reach it... my goodness, she is really hungry wor... so i got up and make her milk and she finished it up in no time... if only she can tell me she's hungry... :P

 

and megan likes to look at herself... especially her photo on my phone...

and of course, a very bad habit of sticking out her tongue... still couldn't get her to stop it...

 

and as the old saying goes, 七坐,八爬,九发牙 (sounds better in hokkien thou), megan is well on her way to crawling since she is 2 weeks to her 8th month... and she is learning it fast...

our sat and sun, just like that...

i woke up pretty early during this weekends, and so, gave megan her morning shower for the past 2 days... its much easier to bathe megan cuz she is more stabled but its also much exhausting to bathe megan cuz she is heavier...

and as usual, after her morning shower and her bfast, megan just doze off... and we started with the housework...

and changed the bedsheet... and in a hot sat like this, there is nothing better to on the air-con, pull down the blinds and laze on bed... little one had a bad habit of sticking out her tongue nowadays... and its so difficult to make her quit it... :P

oh ya, megan has been sleeping with us and so, her cot was left in the guest room serving as a dump-whatever-on-me-if-you-can't-find-a-place-to-dump... and i realised that the musical mobile can be attached onto our bed... i think megan is not interested in the musical mobile anymore...

 

and for dinner, we had... pizza...

and the then, sat is gone just like that... and here comes sunday... after showering megan, i brought her to the coffee shop with me to ta bao bfast for me and joelle... after which, we put her on her walker... she can move around pretty fast on the walker nowadays... and i found her pulling my standing speakers this morning... and joelle found her pulling my shirts last weekend... :S

 

we also realised that megan has a little music appreciation... she kinda sway her body whenever she heard music that she liked... we only came to know it last week when her nanny did a demonstration for us, and megan was swaying to usher's song! oh well, at least she sway a little to this one...

okie dokie, we can't always stay home right? lets dress up nicely and lets go lot1... we wanna buy that mat thingy for megan to crawl (that is when she learn crawling lah...) pssst, megan is pretty vain and she likes to admire herself in the mirror...

 

and a not-so-glam shot...

 

okie, megan is ready but we're not... still got to prepare her stuff (milk, water, blanket, diaper...) so, she is on the walker again while we get everything prepared... and in order to stop her from banging around the house, we kind of 'anchored' her walker... and the result... this:

thats the daddy-killing look she had...

 

alrighty, lets go take train to lot1 then lrt to mil's place... megan simply love looking at things around her... it seems she is fascinated by her surroundings.

megan and elmo! notice the similarity? besides both are cute and got big eyes, they are wearing yellow! .... :P

1 more shot, and ... omg, sunday is ending soon... kaoz...

hmmm... how come no photo of me? oh well, i looked terrible these 2 days... didn't shave on sat, and hair is messy on sun...
