Ah Zhor's day

Set my alarm at 9.30am as I was supposed to turn up for facial at 10am. Been having facial with the salon near my place for 1 year plus already and juz renewed contract with them recently. My beautican, J was from Shanghai. She married a Singaporean and applied PR twice but failed.

She's very good especially at massaging. Always chatted with her during my facial. She asked me whether I wanna do eye gua sha. Told me other time. Cos I needed to pay extra for that. She wanna get PR and get her own flat with her hubby as she's currently staying with her in-laws. Her FIL had been persuading her to get pregnant.

After the facial which lasted only 1hour 20mins, they served me a cup of chrysanthemum as usual and made appointment for the next facial in 3 weeks time. Made appt for my mum for this thurs to try their trial diamond facial as she wanna remove her oil seed.

I then headed to the nearby shop to get Sunday Times, women weekly nov issue and some clothes hangers. Went to the baker and got the Japanese cheese bun. Finished that along the way home. Was blogging on sat and left for my MIL's place at 2pm.

I gotta forcefully carried him down with my SIL carrying his sandals. He kept crying he wanna go ah ma's house in the car. We tagged him along as my MIL wanna do her housework.

Jeston with his Pacifier

He slept by the time we reached Bishan. After collecting the foto, I wanted to change his underwear into diaper for him. He woke up and threw tantrum. He din wanna change into diapers but I managed to wear it for him. Started to kick mummy repeatedly. Finally stopped after I sat aside and put the pacifier on him.

Told him we were heading back to ah ma's house. We turned to Soon Fu to pick up 五姨 and her daughter since it was on the way. They just returned from Europe with her son and daughter last Sun. She had helped me get a LV bag. My biggest investment in bags. Thot of it for a super long time before I decided to get hold of one.

We dropped them at James' granny's place and went for car wash as requested by Jeston. Daddy had wanted to wash the car tomorrow as the weather was cloudy and we thot it might rain soon. But Jeston wanna go for it so we headed to one of the petrol kiosk with manual car wash.

Jeston always turned to one side when the guy sprayed the water on the car, thinking that the water would settle on him. He enjoyed the car wash which cost daddy $7. We then picked up ah ma at her place and proceeded to ah zhor's place. James' cousins, V, J and I's family were already there with 五姨 and her daughter.

We tried the snacks 阿姨 got back from Europe. Crispy seaweed and chocolates from Switzerland. I then had bee hoon with Jeston's ah zhor's famous chicken curry. Lil' fellow witnessed many people eating away asked for rice though he had the crispy seaweed which he found it a bit spicy and gulped down many sips of water.

Ah zhor's cooked the rice for him while ah ma gave him some bread. He played wii with B for a while but B find it boring to play with Jeston and changed target to another cousin, R who just arrived shortly. I and her family left. I asked daddy and we bot Jeston to Punggol park since he was bored.

When he saw the playground with sand, he asked daddy to return home to bring his beach toys. We managed to distract him by bringing him to the playground. He climbed high and low and poor mummy gotta climb up and ensure he din fall while daddy caught hold of him while standing on the ground.

After the playground, he played the see-saw with a jie jie. He soon got bored and took off his sandals and ran around the sand near the swing. We were worried that he might accidentally stepped on the broken wigs and hurt himself. Daddy then carried him to the toilet to wash his legs. We then bot him to try the swing for a while and walked back to ah zhor's house.

Ah ma fed him his dinner while mummy went though 2 science questions with B who's having her P4 Science exam tomorrow hence she was busy working on the assessment book for revision. Few of the adults there were cracking our brains and pondered over the questions when she approached us. We had returned the knowledge to our teachers already....haha

Jeston watched Little Einsteins on the iPad and when iPad had no more battery, I took him for shower though I was having my dinner halfway through as he din want James to shower for him. J, B's dad had added an additional sink with cabinet inside the toilet so it was a bit cramped. Gave Jeston his quick shower as he told me he wanna sleep.

After the shower, he played with B again while on his pacifier. We left at about 8pm and gave 五姨 a lift to the mrt. Jeston kept insisting he wanna go to ah ma's house again. My SIL and MIL went to get bread for tomorrow's breakfast and Jeston dozed off in the car.

James sent us home first and he woke up for a very short while wanting to go ah ma's place. He resumed sleeping again. Guess he was exhausted from the medicine which caused drowsiness. My SIL bot a chiffon cake for Jeston for his snack to bring to school tomorrow. James then sent them home.

Jeston was already sound asleep and james also retired to bed early.

外婆 's day

This morning, daddy helped Jeston to bathe while mummy had her shower concurrently. We then headed to my MIL's place to pick up my SIL and MIL. My MIL wanna proceed to Pasir Ris to buy groceries.

Daddy dropped my SIL, Jeston and me at the taxi-stand. Blur mummy thot we were late but the extension music for one of the makeup sessions were over so today resumed at 45mins hence lesson started at noon instead of 15mins earlier. As we were early, my SIL joined us in the classroom. Teacher Fiona was handling her own stuff but she allowed us in the classroom.

Told Jeston to play Apples and Bananas for 姑姑 to listen but he was bust pressing other buttons. Mummy held his fingers to play. My SIL was trying hard to get him to play too. Jeston's other classmates started strolling in and my SIL left the classroom. Jeston was looking for her when the class started.

He was still quite alright initially. When we came to the song "Mary had a little lamb", Fiona segregated us into 3 pairs. Jeston was supposed to pair up with another girl, A to play the 3rd line. They were told to sit together and share the same keyboard after practising the line with their fingers on the floor.

He insisted that I sat besides him and tears started rolling down his cheeks. A's mummy suggested we take over the notes card since she couldn't read the notes. I then placed Jeston seated in another keyboard. Was so pai seh about it. Fiona approached us and passed the last line to A and asked her to play.

Fiona played on the piano and every pair played with her one after another. I gotta hold Jeston's fingers to play. He's happiest when it was time to get the stickers as it was time to go back. Fiona advised us about the attire for the school concert. The boys were supposed to be dressed in white polo and navy blue pants. The girls were to be dressed in white top and pink tutu skirt and wings. She told us the girl's apparel could be obtained from Gmarket online.

After the class, we met daddy at the kopitiam. I got the highchair for Jeston and daddy got fish slice mee sua for Jeston. Ah ma joined us shortly and helped to feed Jeston. James had got me the Kim Chi ramen. My SIL had japanese curry with rice. My MIL and James had buns beforehand as they were vegans today but no vegetarian stall.

Wan Sim's Curry Rice

After the lunch, we headed home. Jeston felt asleep on the way back. Daddy dropped off 姑姑 and ah ma and he went Vary Nice coffeeshop to get his vegetarian economical rice for lunch. Upon reaching home, Jeston woke up. I gave him his medicine and coaxed him to bed. All of us had nap.

I woke up at almost 5pm and called my SIL to get Viva flora guard for me which is powder that contains probiotics. She told me they were at Compass Point on the way to Tanjong Pagar. They had to reach there by 5.30pm as the shop closes by then. I woke up James and I carried the sleeping Jeston into the car.

We asked my SIL and MIL to meet us at Buangkok mrt taxi-stand and we would send them there otherwise dun tink they can reach by 5.30pm. Jeston woke up when we got into the car. My MIL has bot some bread and gave him some. We managed to reach the shop before it closed. My SIL got 9 bottles while I got 5.

Flora Guard was Oct promo where we got 1 bottle free for every 6 bottles. I paid about $281.31 for 5 bottles. Never try this before but my SIL and MIL had been consuming these and highly recommended it. They recommended the green barley powder too. James sent us to my mum's place and then sent my MIL and SIL to Geylang for their Buddhism chanting session.

Jeston din wanna alight until my MIL told him 阿姨 was waiting for him at 外婆 house. Hence the first question he posed when he reached my mum's place was where was 阿姨. But my sis had yet to reach. My dad took him for kiddy ride while I enjoyed my dinner. When Jeston returned, I fed him the bird nest my mum had cooked for the entire family.

Fried Rice

I shared almost half bowl with Jeston who loved it. It was sweet and jelly like to him. My mum said it would aid to reduce his cough. I then fed him his porridge (rice boiled in water) and fried salmon pieces. My bro returned with his girlfriend, T. Jeston asked T where was 阿姨. Finally 阿姨 appeared and he was very happy.

Jeston's Dinner

He played with 阿姨 and 姨丈 until poor mummy gotta chase after him to finish his dinner. My sis also bot BBQ pork, my dad's favourite from 美珍香 . Hasn't had this for quite a while. My mum then made her 拿手 kopi for us. Jeston had a great time playing with my sis and BIL.

My sis recommended me 3 more webbies for online apparel shopping. She also recommended a dress which could be worn in 72 ways. I already ordered it from kizzofgoddess. Jeston was pestering her to play with him.  The 2 other websites are The Velvet Dolls and Across the Bloddy Universe.

Daddy then turned up and he helped Jeston to have a quick shower and our lil' darling continued to play with 姨丈 . My mum was hooked at the fish crackers her friend recommended her and kept asking us to try. Told her I tried before and loved it. She gave me 5 packets to bring home.

Told Jeston it was time to pick ah ma and 姑姑 and he asked my BIL to return home with us. My BIL invited us over to their place to stay for a night in Dec when he and my sis started clearing their leave. He wanna play with Jeston. Jeston reluctantly let go of 姨丈 . We then proceeded to Geylang to pick up my SIL and MIL.

After reaching my MIL's place, Jeston insisted on tagging along with them. Stranded with no choice, he hugged and kissed me and stayed over at my MIL's place. Daddy and I then headed home. I was surfing the net and looking for some info till 3am.

Time to bed.....

TGIF

Today was the full dress rehearsal for the year end concert for Jeston. We were instructed to dress him in any tee with bermudas. So I dressed him in the cute tee with beige Bermudas and covered shoes which he called these his favourite sports shoes as he always wore these to jog with 姑姑 and ah ma.

We sent him to school and he asked daddy to fetch him after school. His FDR was held at Tampines so the school bus would send them to and from school with additional charges of $4. James then fetched him at the school.

On the train to work, I saw a lady carrying her toddler daughter and no one gave up seat to her. I tapped the hand of a young chap who din look like a local seated at the reserved seating. He pointed to the stuff on his lap...2 bags and a long ruler kind of tool. He refused to give up and the lady with the toddler juz stopped me.

Her friend remarked that was reserved seating but she also din do anything to help her. At the next station, I moved to the back. Asked the lady seated in the reserved seat to give her seat to the lady and she gladly stood up. I thanked her and tapped the lady to the seat.

I stared at the young chap when I was about to alight. He knew I was unhappy with him. If the lady had not stopped me, I would have told him that he's not one of the privileged person indicated in the reserved seating logo. Anyway, was very pissed off with him.

Had lunch with my coll, Jo and ex-coll, H at Amoy. Today was H's last day at work. Finally got her freedom cos she was being asked to handle all the work for her coll and she gotta do OT while her coll could return home on the dot. Haiz.....seems like such scenes are very common now.

I bot fried rice for her and as she was delayed at work, her rice turned cold when she reached. I had liang tou fu for lunch. We then chatted with kopi and tea after our lunch. Luckily, managed to answer all my client's queries so knocked off on the dot today.

Felt nausea halfway in the mrt on the way to AMK where James was supposed to pick me up. Was on the iPad and felt giddy so decided to keep and stand still. Think it's due to gastric. Saw an old lady trying to get seat as the train packed. No body gave seat to her. I couldn't help as I wasn't feeling well myself.

She managed to get a seat when I alighted at AMK. Hubby helped me tabao fish slice soup with rice. He dropped me at my MIL's place and went to Olive Tree to get queue nos for Jeston and me. He told me it might not be crowded but I doubt so.

He as right. Was almost going to start my dinner and he called. Bot Jeston and explained to him we would be returning to ah ma's place later. We then headed to the clinic. There was no patient. The lady at the recept was quite pretty with an old lady helping with the medicine.

Told Dr Woon Jeston had been coughing. He enquirer whether he had sensitive nose and we nodded. He prescribed 3 medicine for him, 1 for allergy, 1 for running nose and a cough syrup. He told us Jeston may need to take the allergy medicine for up to half a year. It costs $6 per bottle.

Told me I felt nausea since wed. He asked me whether I was stressed at work as he said giddiness was one of the symptoms. He then prescribed domperidone for my bloatedness and another medicine for giddiness. Mine cost $18 and Jeston's consultation and medicine cost $22.

After seeing the doctor, we went strolling with Jeston as he had been asking for it since afternoon. Ah ma told him he couldn't go due to the rain. James, my MIL, my SIL and me strolled round Seng Kang stadium with him. It was very cooling. I went to Anchorvale CC to take the application form for volunteering to be grassroots leader. I have yet to submit the form.

We then returned to my MIL's place where Jeston had his shower. Daddy was waiting for him downstairs. He din wanna return home and I carried him into the car.

He drank his milk and slept shortly after reaching home.

Busy busy thursday....

After sending Jeston to school, I rushed to work today. A deadline was impending ahead for me today. I managed to grab an orange chiffon cake @ Tanjong Pagar mrt exchange for breakfast though I ate it while I was busy looking at my numbers. Multi-tasking......very typical scene in Singapore these days.

Was staring at the pc all morning till finally lunchtime. Met my ex-colls, E & J for lunch @ the ramen restaurant along Robinson Road. Waited 20mins for a table. We managed to sit down after both of them arrived shortly. All of us ordered the same ramen and a plate of 6 goyzas.

E said she preferred the ramen @ North Canal Road. But as i was rushing my closing, I suggested this restaurant. soon after we finished our meal, the waitress passed the bill to us as there were customers waiting for our table. After lunch, gotta rushed my work again.  Bot my camera along but forgotten about it hence no fotos for the lunch....sob sob....

Finally knocked off at 8 plus and headed straight to my MIL's place to look for Jeston. Tabaoed McSpicy meal for dinner and upsized by paying extra 50 cents to get 2 stickers for the monopoly game currently being held. The grand prize is $30,000 cash. Wanna try my luck.
