"doug! we have a bad day!"

recalling one of my fav movies, 50 first dates... remembering that poor daddy who tried his best to prevent lucy from remembering her accident (that left her forgetting everything the moment she sleeps). and whenever lucy discovers something is not right, her daddy will shout to lucy's brother "doug! we have a bad day!"

and indeed, we have a bad day... this evening, joelle went to tabao dinner while i went over to fetch megan... halfway back, megan started crying and so i got to one hand carry her, one hand push the pram... and when i got home, megan was crying and crying and crying... i don't even have time to take off my socks and got to carry megan and trying to soothe her... only managed to put her down to take off my shirt before she started wailing again... this is the famous colic attacks... its not my first encounter thou, but i'm terribly torn apart by her shrieking cries... no wonder its said in the web, colic attacks sometimes harm parents more than the baby... i'm torn, like this 栗子壳... :(

anyway, we managed to calm megan down within an hour, after some carrying, singing, 如意油ing, rattling, and finishing with feeding her milk milk and patting her to sleep... then only, we started having our dinner around 9pm... and now, both of us, as well as megan, are extremely exhausted... i dun think i can do all these by myself... and coming to this, i guess i will give the singapore blog awards ceremony a pass... its happening on the 5th sept (friday)... but we got to fetch megan from her baby sitter... and i can't let joelle to go fetch by herself cuz in case of colic attacks, one person cannot handle wan...

 

and... on the lighter side... the unforgettable forgetful lucy song from the movie...

of red, blue and white

another rainy sunday... was carrying megan while watching the basketball match and joelle happily taking shots of us... i'm not paying attention to joelle thou, but megan seems not very interested in the match thou... anyway, congrats to the usa team for clinching the gold medal...

after that, we took out the ball for megan to play... she seems very interested in this ball thingy... when pressed, it either play music or says the alphabet... little one is so very curious about the ball... i guess it must be the colour that attracts her attention...

in fact, its so colourful, we took quite a number of shots...

and the ball can be detached... and it really becomes a ... ball lor...

so much playing, it time for her cereal... we failed to feed her for 2 consecutive days... she didn't seems want to be fed... either she is too hungry to eat it, or we cook it the wrong way?? not very sure thou, got to ask megan's baby sitter how she did it for the past few feeds... i did managed to feed megan 3 mouthful before she got impatient and cries... and in the end, we gave in and switch to milk milk....

and after she is full, we set off to joelle parents' place... and megan is so very happy to gai gai again...

  

and now, the 2 girls are sound asleep... and me, going to turn in soon... its a nicey cool weather to sleep in... hope tomolo morning not raining... :P

blue over purple

today is a rainy cold sat... a very good weather to sleep thru... but we didn't, cuz megan still got to bathe and drink milk milk... and we introduce barney to megan today... she is not interested thou... maybe she prefer blue to purple? as in doraemon to barney?

and the other reason not for me to sleep thru is... i'm being 'recalled' back to office... got some users having internet problem... super LL go back office to settle the issue... only managed to use a workaround solution, monday still got to settle it again... thou its only 2 hours at office, but i could use it for a good cold afternoon nap... kaoz...

when i'm home, joelle showed me this picture she took for megan... wow, it seems joelle is getting good at lumix-ing wor... nice shot...

of course, not as nice as the shots i took... keke... megan as usual is all happy and smiling whenever we're playing with her...

life is pretty simple for megan, she just need to eat, play, poo, pee, sleep...

at times, she cries or smiles... and trying very hard to learn as much things as she could... and as what i read from the books, as babies tends to have more brain activities to remember and to learn new things happening around them, their head usually sweat alot... and that so true for megan lor... such a cold weather today, and i'm shivering with the cold, and there she was, so sweaty on her head...

and she is also trying to flip over... so we can see her trying very hard to turn her body sideway while she is on her pinky chair... and at times, lifting her head up to see whats happening in front of her instead of staring at the boring ceiling... and all these activities made her all so sweaty... and of course me, still shivering as thou living in ice age... brrrr....

 

am supposed to go for my company function: family day at hort part, tomolo... but i guess, i'm gonna give it a pass, due to the fact that:

1. megan still haven't recover from her flu yet

2. i'm totally pissed being 'recalled' back to office this morning

3. tomolo, there's a live olympic basketball match between usa and spain

4. i'm doing nite shift tonight...

and i'm very tired... :P

鱼丸粗面

price of being pai say costs almost $70

took an urgent leave today with joelle... yup, megan is sick again... and what else but those commonly common flu... warning all parents, flu bug is on the loose again... now, you see, wouldn't it be great to work in a company that's pro-family certified? keke...

anyway, we found megan to have runny nose these few days and it seems she uses her mouth to breath inside of nose as her nose is blocked... so last nite, we decided to bring megan to see doc today... so last nite, we off the fan but it turned out to be too warm for the little one and she was waking up every few hours... on and off the fan also cannot... haiz...

and joelle was totally worn out due to her 7am shift this week and couldn't wake up to feed megan at 3am, so i got to take over the nite shift again... 2 sleepless nites... oooh, luckily today we're taking leave else i can't imagine how to go to work... now, wouldn't it be great to have pro-family certified company that doesn't ask employees (with babies) to work 7am shift? wouldn't it be great if there is no ot?? and if such things are to be implemented, job-seekers with babies cannot find job liao lor... :P

now... she don't look like she is sick right?? cuz we are not taking chance anymore... the last time, we were hoping to ride it out but it turned out getting worst... so this time round, no more wait and see, no more neighbourhood pd, no more taking chances, and we are heading straight to tmc for the paediatrician who cured megan...

i think, even she is sick, megan is still very very happy to see her parents at home on weekdays...

and we got to put on a long sleeve for megan and only able to find this blue one... she is so boy... and i promised myself -> no more short haircut for megan, no more...

hmmm... father daughter talk... what we talking? nah, we not telling... keke

something in this pict tells me megan like to be with me... obvious mah??

while waiting for the cabby... which is quite difficult to wait...

as megan is starting to wean, i guess she is discovering that she can put anything into her mouth... and so, if its not the pacifier or her fingers, then its anything she can grab lor...

as usual, lotsa babies were sick... and all kanna flu also... we got to weight megan and now she is 6.6kg and 66cm... 6666, very the 顺 wor... megan is 3.3kg & 49cm at birth, and 6.6kg & 66cm at her 20th week... so that means a weekly growth of 0.165kg & 0.85cm, meaning megan will be my height when she is 5 years old? haha~~~

hmmm... i think its time we should cultivate reading liao...

and of course, due to her last ordeal, megan dun seem happy at all...

but, this time, we are bringing her to tmc earlier to avoid having the situation getting worst... and megan's pd asked if we bring her out often? cuz its the flu bug season again... which of course, we did not bring megan to crowded place...

next, we were asked if anyone home is sick... home means me and joelle... no leh, we are not sick leh... just tired thou... keke

then he asked if nanny have children of her own... ah ha... something to probe now... megan's baby sitter got 3 children... when we told doc that youngest is in primary, he say cannot be from them...

then i started wonder... was it that nursery kiddo who was standing beside megan's pram in the lift a few weeks ago?... cuz she was looking at megan and saying "妹妹, 妹妹, 妹妹.... AHHHHH CHOO!"  and sneezed in front of megan...

i was about to put the blame on that kiddo and suddenly... a name popped up in my head that immediately vindicated that innocent kiddo... is@@c!!! (nicky and val's cousin)... he was at joelle parents' place last week, and he is a toddler, and his nose juice is dripping as he crawls and walks around... darn, i should be more vigilant next time... but then again, kinda feel pai say to ask someone else's baby to stay away from my baby leh... and the price of being pai say costs almost $70... :S

for the sake of my pocket, and most importantly, for the sake of megan... 我不管那么多了, 下不为例... i got to start practice now...

"excuse me, i think your baby's nose juice is dripping... can dun come near megan?"

"excuse me, megan's immune system not strong wor... please dun drip your nose juice here..."

haiz... i think i just carry megan away bah... but its still every parents' responsibility not to bring their sick child out lor... last time, i have to turn down kyler's first birthday celebration cuz megan just recovering from her flu... and that means, another 1 or 2 weeks grounding for megan... :P

 

oh ya, now then we know, megan's baby sitter had started letting megan holding her milk bottle when she was 3 months old, with supervision of course... and here we are, feeling amazed at how megan always wanna hold her milk bottle whenever we are feeding her... 原来你早就会了哦...
