TGIF

Woohoo is friday, last day of wkday. At least, my day was nt started with cry saying i dun wana go to school. She wore her uniform wif no fuss. I have to thanks he terappins in cc. I know she is looking forward to feed them in school. She tok abt them when i picked her up from cc. On d way to cc, it was peaceful till we reach the health check station. She wanted me to bring her in, i know she  wanted to show me the terappins. I saw her walking to her class but stopped n chatted with teacher SH. After that i saw her running towards her class. It had been awhile since i saw the enthusiasimn in her when we sent her to school.

Slightly better

Today marked the 3rd day of school as well as diaper dry day. Not much fuss this morning, no crying till we reached school. Only tears when we were at the health check station. At least there is some improvement.

I have reduced her time spend on my Samsung Tab to half an hour. I let her do some painting will i m doing my homework (nt a gd idea, she is such a distraction). In another 4 months she will be goin to K1, i suppose we need to get her into routine, study, play, exercise and TV.... ATM had started the noti corner punishment again, at least it is working compared to when she was younger... Now that she is older, punishment will work on her, since she understands 'cause and effect'....

First Day of CC

She cried when she woke up. She knows she is going back to school. It pains my heart to see her cry but no i dun wana stay at home with her. We still haven figured out why she dun wana go to school yet, just hope it is another phase of growing up.

Today, it was K1 teacher who brought her in. Though she was crying but there wasnt any pulling of my clothes. At least once she is in there, her crying stops. But i forsee when i pick her up in the evening, the chanting of i dun wana go to school will start again. It is a good think that i can filtered of certain noise.

I m glad school starts again. She gets to socialise with kids her age rather than old ppl like us. She will be learning in school, sing, jump n etc. Hope she will enjoy herself in school.

Update: When i picked her up from school, she is happy. She talked abt her frens. Slightly before bedtime she asked me, 'Can you make the school close again?' My reply to her was, 'I will be crazy to do that.'

So nice of the teachers to give them a welcome pack.

Mid life crisis

If i were to live till 70 of age, it would means tt i have live past half life. Literally saying, it is normal if i m in midlife crisis mode as i had way past quarter life crisis. In quarter life crisis u worried abt the job that u getting in n the amt of $ u are earning. Basically u worried abt yhe quality of life u b having.

At midlife crisis mode, u worried abt ur job stability, will u have enough for retirement, will u be able to sent ur child oversea for higher education or will she b going to the local uni. As usual, worrying abt future uncertainty. Mayb it is the hormone, i m having sign of 老花, soon menopause. I dun wana get old, well at least age gracefully. My memory is getting slow so is my metabolism rate. Mayb soon will hav to worry abt health issues......

Since we only live once, just enjoy life, follow ur dream. You can do that, if financially u have no worries..... Better get back to my work.

Day 7

Since ATM is on MC, y waste my leave right? So for the next few days P will be spending quality time with her papa. I can forsee plenty of shouting n screaming going on. It is a very common sight when the 2 of the are alone. One is stuborn, super stuborn that kind, the other one is just the 'I m your father, do wat i tell u or else' that kind. So at least i m not home, my ears will be at peace.

P did some colouring activities at home. She called n complained that ATM dun let her use her magic pens. When i reached home, he complained abt how he hated magic pen as it will stained the next page. Hellooooo..... which children doesnt like magic pens? As a kid, i love it so much cos the color is so intense whereas u dun get the same effect from crayons or color pencils..... Wait till i introduce water color to her...... haha.....

Teacher L called today n checked if everything is OK. How sweet

Life.....

Almost 3 weeks ago, we said bye to her. A few days ago, she stopped replying my msg and didnt answer my call. I was worried and dad called on fri, she was admitted. Her GP said she had postnatal depression and admitted her. She is depressed, very depressed and dellusional atm. Today, full team physcologist will be assessing her and plan what will be her treatment. I have wanted to see her soooo much, but we have a case of hfmd at home and i wouldnt wana pass it to Sean. Mom is taking care of him now, poor boy....

Why she has to suffer so much, first it was mutliple sclerosis and now this. Can you be more nice to her..... It is just so hard to see your love ones are suffering and there is nothing much u can do. Please make her well again, i promise i will pray diligently.

Day 4

P and i went to Cheers in JP to DhL some stuffs but missed the last collection time. Hope mom will receive the stuff on time. Again we went to my chiro appointment.

Nothing much was planned for today as i was supposed to go for dragonboat training but hav to cancel. P played with Lego n some readinng. Later in evening, she played bubble in d corridor while i cooked dinner.

More blisters were seen on his feet n on his face.

Day 3

It was ATM turn to stay home with her. They stayed home the whole day and only went downstair to get lunch. In between homework time, there were snacking and playing. She was excited to show me her homework when i reached home.

Guess what, we have 1 case of hfmd at home. ATM called me at 4+pm told me that he had rashes on his feet n hands. By 630pm our GP comfirmed the case. It is rather rare for adult to get it but then...... He said most likely is from CC cos he has been going to CC for the last wk. Duh.... i been goin to CC the last 3y n i still hav nt got it so are other parents.

Hope P is immuned to the virus or get infected within this few days rather than after school start.

Day 1

It started with ATM dropping us off at IMM on his way to work. Since it is still early, we went to Mac and shared a breakfast together, then proceed to my chiro appointment. We were there for more than 1h, after that we went to the playground and some shopping. We took d shutter bus from IMM to Jcube, i hated it when i m travelling with a stroller. We have 2 stroller, umbrella stroller (lightweight and nt comfy) and the heavy weighted (super comfy). It is real inconvenient to bring d heavy wwighted strollee on bus as u need to fold it n carry up d bus.

We walked ti Jurong regional library after alighting at Jcube. P got her 1st limited ed library card n we spent abt an hour at the children section. She is in this phase where she wan us to read to her. I m nt complaining there. Borrowed a few books inxluding her fav 'We going on a bear hunt'. Then we walked over to Jcube to hav lunch at Chillis. She ordered a pizza kids meal complete wif ice cream n i had d set lunch. She was super hungry i think, she finished 3 quarter of d pizza n i tabao d remaining and she passed on d ice cream. After a full lunch, she webt on n had her siesta on her stroller n i get to shop at peace for awhile. We took a train from JE to Boon Lay, it was crowded even on non peak hour. Did some grocery shopping at JP and we walked home on a hot sunny day. She took her shower then played on her own while i prepare dinner.

Day 2 - NDP

The day started a bit late but P woke up pretty early as she need to pee. We fav up on d night toilet training but seems like she is ready again. We will see. We had late breaky then of to Mt Faber Safra for a swim. Somehow i perfered it more than the Jurong Safra. It had been ages since i went there, there had a children playroom n nt to mention Porn's.

P had her warm up in the baby pool then we proceed to 1m pool with her flood. Though the water is deep for her but she is pretty sporty, kicking/threading water for abt 3-4 laps refusing our help. She loves water, we sent her for baby swim in the tub since 6 mth old. She will cried when we pull her out. After the lunar 7mth, we will sent her for swimming lessons. It will be good for her lungs and growth, mayb appetite.

After the good workout, we had our lunch/afternoon tea at Porn's. P was super hungry, she ate half a bowl of noodles. She loves the rocking horse, wodwn chair swing n the mini tuktuk. Food is yummy cos we r starve.

Suppose to go HF to build a bear but we r late as i had an appointment wif the chiro. P slept for an hour then off to IMM playground again. Had a simple dinner at Moss burger.

I be off to work tomolo after wakey wakey but i need to tell ATM her activity plan. Some simple maths and alphabets follow by craftwork, he will have to space out everything nt all at once.

Comfirm

Teacher L just called to comfirm the closure. It will start on wed, at least i have 2 days to settle/handover stuffs to my colleagues. Thank god, i have a bunch of nice colleagues, they even suggest i smuggle P to office and they will take turn babysit her when i m busy in lab.

In total, CC will close for 13 days due to Hari Raya Puasa holiday. My neighbours will really hate me for the next 13 days to come. I tried to get coperate pass from my company to the zoo and bird park but none available. Mayb i will try Science Center. Planning for activities to keep her busy. Lucky i bought alot of craft stuffs from Perth, Lego (her fav) and mayb baking. I will need to stock up on red bulls for energy.... haha....

There goes my leaves......

These are super cheap, less than $5.

Standy mode for closure

An email on a Sat morning from CC informing us to arrange for alternative in case they were to close for 10 days. Wat a great news to start my wkend. Well i suppose they r just wsiting for MOH to issue the letters. 

My first tot when i saw d email was damn next wk is a busy wk. Finally the machine is up after 5mth, and my samples are half done n to be continue next wk. ATM has a few meeting piling up next wk.  We hav to arrange to take half days to finish off watever need to be done. Meaning i will need to go work at 6+, whereas it will b her dream come true as she dun have to go school. I have to think of activities for her to do during d break, by d end of 10 days my hairs will b messier thsn eistein n i will b voiceless due to the constant shouting. She can b super stuborn n just ignore all instructions. I m praying for more patience. I have give up on feeding her, if she get hungry, too bad wait till next meal. She is so choosy towards her food intake. When she is hungry she will eat everything except meat. Vegan in the making, when i m preg with her, i hav no appetite for meat just tofu n sup.

Not looking forwards to the 10 days closure. Wonder if there is any babysitting service i can engage or those CC where u can drop u kids in case of emergency?

Viscious Cycle

P is at this phase again crying when we sent her to school. This time with improve in her speech n vocab, she is whining to us us she dun wana go to school and incoporate with her new skill, cry. She still can tell me she dun wana go school so much, must be from her new fren, M. In Oz, they only go to kindie 2.5 days a wk.

Sooner or later, i will go crazy with her whining. I must admit that ATM is doing well at controlling his anger. Ah i need to bring P to zoo n bird park which she has been asking everyday.
