1st scar collected on 27th Sept 2007

2007-09-28T11:46:00.000+08:00

Little Xavier have a nasty fall and cut….Sat on the lower coffee table, jumped and hit the edge of the computer table….Big bump and deep cut. Grandma say he is bleeding profusely and the whole floor was covered with his blood…sob sob… They went to the PD clinic and mummy went down to meet him there…So shocked and heartpain to see him all cover with blood. Lao yi chanted something and paste a pc of paper to stop the bleeding while in the taxi. The bleeding did stop but continued with PD removed the paper to take a closer look at the wound. It was so painful for him when we try to remove the paper….my gosh, what a cut it was! PD referred us to KKH to see plastic doc cos he wanted to confirm whether to use glue or stitches so as to minimize scarring…forehead leh. Stupid KKH…make us wait for a long while before we get to see the doc. Xavier is so brave, no more crying and walking about, exploring the hosp by now. Doc say have to sedate and stitch. Sedate means putting to sleep!!! Mummy panicked now…put to sleep? Only wake up 2hrs later? Cannot lah…what if he cannot wake up? Another doc came and say try using epiglue…Glue? Yes, medical glue that will pull all the tissues together to close the wound. Either way will have a scar but at least epiglue do not require sedation! To apply the glue, the wound must be very very clean…3 nurses wrap him up securely and start on their job…Tears and screaming starts by now cos the antiseptic lotions are tingeing on the wound…Even cleaning of the dried blood cause him great pain. Sigh…my dear son; please learn your lesson now. Learn to be more cautious and learn to listen to your caregivers. Play within limits and not be a frequent visitor to the emergency care! You will remember this issue for life as the scar is there to stay on your forehead. **Once inside the doc room in kkh, they are quite nice. I asked for diaper, they gave me. I asked for milk, they make a fresh bottle 240ml in a new and sterilized pigeon bottle for me. ** Thanks to the staff nurses for being so caring to this naughty xiao di di.

At 7mths old, he is grabbing furniture to stand up and cruise around them ( walking sideways). Now, he is able to move forward better with support. Wat will he surprise us next? ma ma ba ba....is he learning to talk?

Of cos, his hair is still taking its own sweet time to grow. But as aunt said, GOOD! save money for haircuts! haha...

He is really our family's darling!

Brave or silly? Dignity is most impt!

2006-07-24T12:41:00.000+08:00

I have tendered my resignation last monday...most ppl will think that i am either mad or worse, suffer from post natal blues to quit without a job. Yes, its a drastic step to take in today's society. But its definitely not on impluse, rather its a long debated decision. This decision could have waited till year end or early next year, but 1 incident have escalated it. 1 phrase will describe why i DID IT: 势可杀，不可辱!!!! Hope that i will get a job soon!

First Month!!!

2006-06-16T10:19:00.000+08:00

Little Xavier is full month today!! ( What a big change from the 1st day we saw him in TMC.) It have been a long while since i posted here...Been busy with this little cute boy, feeding and trying to learn more about him. This world is really polluted..He had such soft and nice skin in the moments after he is born. Now, he is getting heat rash, nappy rash and dunno wat insect bites! We cut his hair ( just a bit and not BOTAK!), nails and shower him. Changing him into nice clothes for his 1st outing. Dunno wat may happen later, he better be a charming boy, and dun fuss in the car! hoho.... Mummy hope he grow up to be a happy and useful man to the society! Cheers!

12 more days? Can be earlier?

2006-05-07T21:39:00.000+08:00

little xavier, you must be wondering why mummy keep asking you when? Hee...Cos gynae visit is tomorrow! He may want mummy to go for inducement and bring you out earlier, but i will prefer you to come out naturally... So be more cooperative...

Shld i get a printer?

2006-05-07T21:35:00.000+08:00

I have been thinking if i shld get a printer? Shld i? Shldn't i? 1) To print photos 2) To print work related stuff as i am working more often from home now. 3) Printers are really cheap these days! A) No space to place the printer B) The ink cartridges will be expensive C) Hubby say no need, can print in office! SO, shld i get it?

on leave!

2006-04-17T13:18:00.000+08:00

Today on 1 day leave to clear up last year's annual leave. Its such a great feeling to be lazing at home, eat, slp and relax! bb...when are you coming? It's a question that you have made mummy guessing for a while. If you are still transvere position, then we will see you in 2 weeks' time! But if you are good and turn down, then it will be wait and see...i also dunno which i prefer. But i do noe that i want you to be a healthy and cute little one with little pain for me! hee...will you make my wish come true?

2006-04-03T16:03:00.000+08:00

Good news today from the gynae, little xavier have put on 300g and is at 1.9kg today! Althought still on the small side but at least he is growing! All the force feeding of myself have worked! Must try to continue to eat more and rest more so that little xavier will grow well. Plus, he is super active today too! That's another cause for celebration. Keep up the good work! only thing is that i been having blocked ears for the whole day...sian!

sunny sunday

2006-04-02T11:14:00.000+08:00

Seems that i have been hating sundays since i started work and the pregnancy.....Sundays means that tomorrow have to work, which means that i must try to get as much rest as possible before a hectic week starts. But when i am stressed abt gog to work the next day, i cannot rest as peacefully as i will like to.. Today, my family went to the temple for Qing Ming prayers. It is the 1st time in my life that we have to prepare for this, but i am not able to participate as my mum deem it taboo for a heavily pregnant lady to go "sweep tomb". Daddy have left us for 3 mths and 2 days liao...its seems so short but i feel that it have been a long while. Missed the days whereby he is sitting in the sofa when i get home. Miss the cheeky smile that he gave us when we brought him out for makan. Regret that Xavier will not be able to meet this wonderful grandfather. Strive to love and teach Xavier the way our daddy taught us!

kaya! always yummy

2006-03-28T09:27:00.000+08:00

Yum yum... An aunt came from overseas to visit and made yummy kaya for me...Hope it increase my desire for food. Been feeling yucky these days, everything i ate made me feel like puking. I think the 1st trimester symptoms are coming back to haunt me! Getting tired easily these days too..counting down the days now. 52 more to go..........................

why dun ppl admit their mistakes?

2006-03-27T09:40:00.000+08:00

Wat a bad Monday morning....An idiot mount the kerb and push the blame on me....Why can't he admit that its his fault straight away? Is this human nature? Can it be improved? I doubt so... Anger is such a bad thing but it cannot be help either! I hate irresponsible ppl!!!!
