date: Friday, March 07, 2008 time : 8:25 AM Suddenly feel like taking pics of my working area. It used to be very messy with lot of paper clip, documents, files, staples, and paper lying all over my HUGE working desk. Yestersday I tidy it up, and it now look very much neater to present to everyone. Wahaha~   Real big working space + desk right?   I bought Amabel for her 18-months assessment and vaccination a few days ago. She weighted 9.3kg and standing 80cm. This girl, she seems to be very brave when having her vaccinations. The most she will cry for a few secs and stop, there is once she didn’t even cry or make a single sound. She is tough… just like me. but I know that she is still scare of injection. Or scare of Dr Edmund Koh? Haha! Why I would say that… cause that day, once we enter the PD consult room, she out of the sudden clasp me in her arms. I wanna put her down on the examination couch, she refused and whine. As if the PD will eat her up. Aiyo kids are really clever nowadays, they know what is gonna happened. After that, Huihui came to meet us and accompanied me for my follow up with the Chinese Physician for some 安胎药 （tonic). And my girl seems to like the Phyisican, when the physician wanna to cuddle her, she never show any rejection. Amabel embrace her and gave her a contagious smile. The Physician happy till like wanna fly. Haha~ And that day, father-in-law brewed a very big pot of chicken tonic for me. It is really yummy and I finished all. I never doubt his cooking skill. His confinement dishes is so yummy too. k Now more about my precious; Here some update on her milestones. See her previous too Weaning After today, it will be 10 days Amabel goes without the pacifier. But she is grouchy whenever she want to sleep. It is really difficult to coax her sleep at night now. Hope everything will be fine soon. Amabel’s list of words and comprehension She is now start learning things, words and actions from the surrounding peoples. So now we have to be much careful about our behaviour and language. She everyday is picking up new words. Sometime you will be surprise how they get to know the word and said it out in the right way. Too many new words she just learn to be listed out here. Here is what i remember now; Jump, Car (which is know quite some time ago), Yes, No, shoes, Eye, Ear, Nose, toe, leg, mouth, teeth, cheek, raining, bread, hairs, barney, elmo, come. sorry Good habit She will keeps her shoes in the cabinet, sometimes she will forget but will do it when we ask too. Talent? She loves music; she will dance with the music. Sometimes she will sing along with the song. Her action is just so cute. We always on the music in the car for her. So now once she board the car, she will request us to turn on the CD player. Hubby said wanna bring her to learn music and dance/ballet when she is bigger. But I am more into letting her learn piano and ballet. Will not force her but let her choose which she likes. There is once raining, we are bringing her out and she saw the umbrella in the shoe cabinet, she took it out and asked me to bring along. Clever! Other funny actions and incident happened She can play with anything; sometimes she will play with the toddler’s umbrella stroller, go get her barney and put it in the stroller and push the barney ard the whole house. Then put a bag on the stroller hanger and push the stroller as if like she is shopping just like what she often see her mom did. Another funny incident happened were, that day morning when her wake up, she saw her 大姑 姑 and called her “wei wei”. Her 大姑 姑 replied in an angry tone: “ Why you call me wei wei? I am ur 姑 姑 leh. She very fast react by saying "Sorry" to her and with her hand placing on her forehead (a sign of apology) . Haha! make everyone laugh! Ok that is all on her update. . . . . Hubby drove us to takashimaya baby fair yestersday night. Pics taken at takashimaya. So many poses     The Lego And I scolded Hubby for buying lotions and shower gel for Amabel again... He likes to buy expensive and good lotion, cream, shower and hair cleanse for her. I told him we already got so many and he replied: "Girl must take care of her skin mah, if boy I heck care liao lor." Haha Amabel luckily you are a girl. And also a few other stuffs which i never take pic of. Walked for just afew hours, my legs are aching. Just like what Dr Khi said, I may lack of calcium caused by breastfeed. So need to take 2 tablet of calcium supplement daily and milk, but it didn't help very much. I can't really walk too long without resting my legs for this pregnancy compare to when I'm expecting Amabel, which I walked whole day also no problem. Hai... feel so weak.

title: What's wrong with skinny baby?
date: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 time : 9:10 PM A mother has been frustrating about other people commenting her child not gaining much weight. "Another gripe i did mention is about other people commenting that she is skinny lah or that she lost weight...it made me even more frustrated not becoz i WANT a FATTY baby....but its becoz i think its just damn rude for people to make such comments, etc...to me, its like saying that i've been starving her or i neglected her...To them, feeding baby is a walk in the park, for me its like WORLD WAR 3!!!! " by a mother of a 9kg plus baby at 1 year old I could really understand her frustration, cause I was once feeling that way too. I really learnt to accept those remarks and don't take it to heart. As long as Amabel has been proving to me that she is STRONG and HEALTHY compare to chubby/fat babies, I will let her be. I personally feel that weight doesn't mean everything at all as long as the baby is still active, happy and strong. If that mother is to worry about her child's weight. Then I need to be more worry about Amabel's weight right. Amabel is only 7.8kg at 1 year old, not even triple of her birth weight - 3.005kg. But I had learnt to not worry about her weight anymore. Sometime genetic factors may predispose a human beings to certain metabolic. Like me, I eat like mad but I still so slim and healthy, so perhaps Amabel also same as me having high metabolic weight. Her development is so far very good, she always surprise me with her rapid learning skill. A lot of my friends and my parent commented she is very clever and although she is skinny but still healthy and so strong. Amabel can even push down a 4 year old boy and won a snatching war from him. So what is the reason for me to worry, she already proven to me everything. As for feeding Amabel, sometimes can really vomit blood, cause she always need something to entertain her, if not she will fuss and cry. Give her a toy to play whilst feeding, not in awhile time, she is bored of it already. Need to keep changing toy for her. Sometimes she will cry just because no toy fancy her anymore and when she is crying with her mouth open, I will find chances to stuff the spoon inside her mouth. wahaha.. yaya I know is no good but she still eat those mouthful of food. She's still hungry lah, is just that she got no new toy to play with and start fussing and rebel against eating. And... and... Amabel is entering another milestone. Nowadays Amabel starts learning to walk, though still a bit wobbly, but she is improving everyday. She can also said it out Overall, she is growing pretty well.

date: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 time : 11:58 AM 28 August 07 – Vaccination Amabel went for her Hepatitis A vaccination last night. I’m so proud of her. She is so brave; never cry at all, not a single sound from her, like nothing happened. Amabel…don’t you feel pain at all? Even Dr E. Koh praised her endurance. Dr also advised us not to put her on the walker cause that will delay her ability to walk without support and the legs will not be strong enough. She is now 7.71 kg and 72cm tall. The assistant nurse has difficulties in measurement her height and head circumstances, cause she just can’t stop moving and struggling. Lol~ Labels: Growth: Weight and Height, Vaccinations

date: Friday, September 01, 2006 time : 2:45 PM 19 August 06 (38 week) Went for my weekly scan. I were strapped to a CTG monitor and Dr Khi also did a virginal check on me and i'm now 1cm dilated already. She estimated that you will be out in one week time. After the visit, i started to have a mild contraction pain with backache throughout the day. The contraction came every 20 to 30 minutes. Since there is no abnormal discharge, bleeding or waterbag burst, i thought should be just a normal Baxtor Hicker contraction. 20 August 06 (38 week 2 day) The contraction pain and backache continued but not that intense, being worried that something may happan to my baby. I decided to go to Dr Khi clinic the next day.  21 August 06 (38 week 3 day)
Daddy called Dr Khi and told her my condition, she advice me to go to her clinic for a check. Reached TMC at 9am and the nurse strapped on the CTG for me again. Your heartbeat is normal and it shown that i am having a real contraction. Dr Khi then do a virginal check for me and i'm now 2.5cm dilated at 9.54am already. Dr Khi said that i may deliver today or the next day and asked whether i want to admit today since i 'm already here and she will burst the waterbag for me. We agreed and your Daddy went to his car to get my hospital bag. We do the admission at 10.14am. I were asked to change into a surgery gown, being shaved and had a enema to clear bowel. Put on the CTG and then the drip. Dr Khi came to burst my waterbag at 11.15am and i felt a gush of water flushing out. Not more then half an hour, i started to have the contraction pain and backache very frequent. Then the contraction pain reached the peak at every 2 minutes and the contraction pain started to last longer. I put on laughing gas but it doesnt seem to work for me now. Nurse came to check on me and i'm 4cm dilated and gave me a buttock injection to minimise the pain, but inject like never inject, it still pain like hell. After that i were pushed to the labor ward and the nurse came to check again and i am 6cm dilated liao. The nurse started to prepare the labor equipment and call Dr Khi. Amabel seems to be very anxious to see the world, kept wanting to come out, like i'm having the urge to pass motion. Were told not to push lat this moment as my cervix not yet 10cm diluted. Finally 10cm diluted and Dr Khi was here too. I were told to start pushing during every contraction. Can't remember after how many push then you arrived to this world. The nurse then immediately put you on my chest. Felt so relieve and happy that you are born healthy. Overall, the whole process is enjoyable, is just that I couldn't endure the hottest. I even needs Hubby to use papers to fan at me throughout it; from contractions till delivery. The hottest is so scary, even worst than the pain.   Create Your Own
 24 August 06
This is your Birth Certificate we gotten today. Daddy rushed down to TMC to have your birth registered. Daddy commented that he has very lousy hand writting, and he managed to get a staff at TMC to write your Chinese name in your birth certificate.

hey...i was looking at ur pics of ur workplace...i think itll be better for you if you have some of ur coworkers move that printer further away from you. Its not good for you....
take care and update...its fun reading your entries about your baby girl!
meo, thanks! Will it really affect? but my first pregnancy is ok perhap i shall check with my gynea, how much it will affect. actually I more worry abt the photocopier being just within my workspace. Cos we jus moved it to there.
I am not sure if itll affect your pregnancy...but I suppose all those infra-red in those machines are no good for your own health in particular...cos those printer and copier will give out some carbon(black dusty lookin' thing) and prolonged breathing near them is not good for your lungs...
Acne-free is very mild and much better than Proactive...I've never used Proactive before, but my friend said that proactive caused her face to dry out and red...as in her face started to peel...
Acne-free on the other hand didnt give me that problem, and I did see results after 3 days...u should give it a shot...let me know if you need it, cause I am nor sure if they sell them in Singapore...After all u're huihui's cousin and we've known each other since grade school...
