Itchy nose, swollen eyes

Image
Both of us have the history of sensitive nose and unfortunately the kids inherit the problem too. Janelle is still better, however she gets dry and itchy eyes pretty often. Julian case is slightly serious, we always heard him sneezing early in the morning or even before he went into deep sleep. These nights were worse, poor Julian having very blocked nose that is affecting his sleep. It got serious that he ended up with swollen nose, nasal blockage that cause it. Law decided to bring him to Dr Sim for a solution. He need to take Clarinase for a period of time, as the effect last long. Zytrec medi effect only kick in two hrs after taking. By 2hrs, he nose is very badly blocked. Every morning, Julian has to apply the nasal spray and this has to continue for 3 months to see if he is getting better. SO far the result is good, I did not see him sneezing away anymore. Julian swollen eyes Medicine from PD Sim.

Growing spurt

Julian is having extreme good appetite these days. He eats like we did not feed him well for days. It can be so extreme that scare us quite a bit but yet very happy with such changes. He really has super good appetite on Sunday. He ate - buffet at Buffet Town - 2 J.CO donuts after the buffet - 2 serving of bee hoon at Chee Kiong house - 1 packet of Hor fun, still blame me for sharing his hor fun with him. The fact is he only left 4 mouth of hor fun for me. - 1/2 packets of maggie mee - 1/4 cup of my Boh rose tea The next day, MIL reported that he continue eating a lot as he is on MC resting at home after visiting Dr Sim for his Sinus problem. Kids can really give us lots of surprises these days.

Over the top boy

A lot of wow, yes while opening up his presents. He really loves the presents he received this year. There are transformers and many boxes of Lego similar transformers and though he received so many of it, none repeated. It will keep him very busy till end of the year. Thank you aunties n uncles for the lovely presents.

Getting ready for party

Every year, I will be looking for meaningful items to put into the kids goodies bag. This year is art theme so I got some artworks for the kids. Hope everything turns out well.

Let's play puzzle

Image
Puzzle a simple play that builds patience and observation. Tonight, I get both kids to play together. Tasking each child to incharge a portion of the pictures. Julian is not a regular puzzle player but he amaze me with his observation. His speed is compatible to Janelle n he started to show interest in puzzle. It is warm hearted to watch the kids playing peacefully helping each other.

P1 Registration - 2A1

Am I not the fortunate one? As the old girl of a good reputated neighbourhood primary school my kids are able to enter into the school in a much early phase. Today I walked into my old school but I do not have any feeling of the school at all. They have shifted from the old premises to a newer ground, must bigger and prettier but a place that I do not have memory. Surprisingly, I am not really impressed by the school. There isnt many parents at the registration center this morning and there is no tension and our registration was quite fast.

Watch a youtube to make this. Not too hard but need practise. My 1st attempt, not too bad.

Our aim with the kids

One day I asked my son if he will support me and provide me $$ to spend when I grew old and could not work anymore. He looked at me and frowned, looking very troubled and worried. I could sense the heavy burden that I think his young mind was thinking. Son: Mummy, why you dun have $$ when you are old? Mummy: When I am old, I cannot work anymore and I will not have earning so I will have to ask you to take care of me. Son: Why? But I dun know if I will have enough $$ to give you. Mummy: So you dun want me when I am old. *looking sad* Son: I still want you but I dun know will I have the $$ to give you leh. Mummy: When you grow up like me, you can work and support me. Look after me just like I look after you now. Son: *still looking very worried* Hmm, Ok if I have $$ to give you. From generation to generation, when we earn more, we spend more, things get valueless. Do we impart better value to our children or we are too busy earning to fill our bowl and feeding the children with...

King of cat durian (猫山王)

Image
I am one very fortunately daughter in law, everytime I have craving for durian my hubby will called his mum and my mother in law will tell my father in law to get the durian. Hee.. Because none of us know how to chose durian and to prevent to be cheated my father in law will always be our durian hero in the family. I cant say all the durian he got will definitely top top yummy type but most of the time is good durian. For me who only love sweet durian will always able to get one that taste sweet. My PIL knew I only like sweet durian so they will always pass that to me. (that is suppose the stupidness choice to have durian. Please dun envy) You know you are getting the right Mao Shang Wang when u see a star at the bottom of the durian. Asking me how I know? Just like choosing crab, I read somewhere. So if you get a "STAR" durian and the seller claimed it wasnt and charging ur cheaper, that is ur lucky day. If u trying to buy Mao Shang Wang and there is no "STAR...

Mossie education

Image
Last Sunday after lunch, I brough the kids to Marine Parade National Library to stock up their reading material. Just when we stepped out of the library we saw a booth setup by NEA to promote Aedes mosquito awareness. The kids were very interested to find out more so we approached the NEA officer to find out more from her. She brough two big plastic tank that contained Aedes mosquito and another specie of mossie. From the display, we learned to identify the Aedes mossie and from the conversation with her. I realised Aedes mossie itself does not spread dengus bacteria. It is only a transporter, meaning it passed the virus from one person to another. So if u are so so sway, that the Aedes "kiss" you after it "kiss" a dengus carrier. The little mossie will help to implant the virus into your body. So Aedes mossie is the note virus origin. Something I learnt and I never knew in the 1st place and Aede is very active in the day but not at night. They love pple with s...
