Busy Saturday..

At 8 am when I am still in my la-la land, I heard my door bell ring.. Its Aunt Jean. She is here to see the naughty boy. She even bring him down to the market for a walk. Baby Caden really enjoyed the walk early in the morning.

In the late morning, for the first time, I tried bringing baby Caden out on my own, with his stroller too. Moreover, I did not take cab to meet deardear at Tampines Mall. I took train. So with baby in front in the baby carrier, my mama bag at the back and stroller pulled by my right hand, Caden and I "ventured" to Tampines Mall in a train. Actually I was standing though there were seats as I wanna to let baby see the scenaries outside of the train. However, he was tired after a short while. Thus, I have to put him into his stroller so he can sleep. Its really a task to do so as I have to open the stroller, take him out of the carrier and put him down in the stroller. I did it all by myself, though there is a very nice lady who offered her help. There are indeed some nice and helpful Singaporeans around. However, after arriving at Tampines MRT station, baby Caden was so fascinated by the "new" surroundings and he ended up staying awake throughout. We had our usual Teppanyaki lunch - the cheaper version as I am on unpaid leave now.. Haha.. Then baby is hungry so we had to feed him in the baby room. Again, he created so much noise in the baby room that I suspect that people outside must be thinking we are torturing him. Haha..

Baby finally drinking milk after the noise making.. (only deardear can control him)

At night we have visitors too.. Then we went out with Uncle Eugene and Aunty Rain again for dinner. Uncle Eugene suggested a Jap restaurant at Kallang Leisure Park. However, the parking is full due to NDP. We ended up eating at Katong Village - Waraku. Yum yum.. By the time we started eating, Caden is fast asleep in his stroller. Guess he really enjoyed taking Uncle Eugene's car for a ride. By the time we are home, its almost 10.30pm and deardear and I are really deadbeat tired. Its indeed a busy saturday - of fun of course..

Baby Caden is leading...

Baby Caden is leading in the weekly baby contest held by mumcentre. Finally, after some rounds of 1st to 2nd then to 1st then to 2nd.. He is finally leading. However, I guess it will only be a short while. Haha.. The parents of the other baby is also very aggressive in getting votes for their baby.

Got many people to vote for him and even deardear and I have tried many different emails to vote for him. Gosh... He is so cute.. Better than the others I believe.. Hehe.. Huimin Ah Yee has 4 votes.. Aunt Jean has many hundreds of votes as she also asked her colleagues to vote too.. Here are some replies from her friends and colleagues after going into the website and vote for him..

"Caden looks very cute and adorable! I've voted for him."
"He is actually the cutest baby compared to the other two ;) I voted for him:)"
"I am done.Caden's smile really captured once heart."

"You have my full support for Caden. I voted him this morning.What a lovely and cheerful grandnephew you have. Congrats!"
"Done. Caden is so adorable."

I am really "flying" high after seeing all the nice replies about baby. Feel so proud of him. Thank you everyone for voting for him. However, I feel quite sad as he has shrink in size recently... His face is smaller.. Tummy is flatter.. Arm is skinnier.. Thigh is smaller.. Sobsob..

Slim-down face...

New found habit of bitting lower lip

Another heart capturing smile...

Baby Panda on the lose..

"You caught me..."

"Ehh.. Let me go please... I look so innocent and harmless..."

"sigh... I don't want to go back to the cage..."

Deardear took half day leave to bring baby for his second 5in1 jab and his last dose of Rotavirus. We left home at 1 plus and took a bus down to United Sq which is where baby's PD, Doc Ong, is located. Wanted to eat our lunch first. However, its a little too rush so we decided to get Ben & Jerry for munchies first. The sweet cream & cookies and chocolate therapy is really great. Then we walked around United Sq while waiting for Doc Ong to be back from his lunch. During this time, baby was a little sleepy so I tried to pat him to sleep. When its baby's turn to see the PD, he was still sleeping like a log. So Doc Ong has to inject him when he is sleeping. However, maybe its painful that Caden woke up crying. Poor Caden. Doc Ong also tried feeding him Rotavirus vaccination which made him cried even more. We immediately use his fav toy to pacify him. After a while, he stopped crying.

After which, we went to the Hwa Xia and asked about the Taimaobi.. Its so ex to make one. Cost almost $300 to make a simple one as souvenir. So we decided not to make it. As we were at the kids section, I saw some nice rompers on sale so deardear bought two for baby. Then we proceed to Bugis to eat and buy deardear's working shoes. However, baby has to drink his milk so we wasted lots of time feeding him and not much time to look at deardear's shoes. As a result, we did not buy deardear's working shoes today. Hopefully tomorrow we can get his shoes. Though its a short family outing as baby just gotten his jab, I do enjoy this short time of shopping as a small family. Looking forward to more of such family outing.

Who is more fortunate?

Me or deardear? Deardear always say that I am his lucky star. His life changes a lot after knowing me, for the better of course. For example, getting his degree, changing his job, getting married, having baby, getting promotion. So he often says that its his fortune to know me. However, sometimes I really wonder who is the fortunate one.

After knowing deardear, my life changes too. We went through a lot just to get together. In the beginning, mum really dislikes deardear as she felt that its him who cause the breakup between my ex-bf and me. My mummy really likes my ex-bf because of his nature and his ability to take care of me. Yet, she did not see the fact that we are not happy together. Our breakup is sooner or later as we quarrelled almost everyday. And I used to bully my ex-bf so often that I wonder do I really love him anot. Many people ask me to reconsider as my ex-bf is quite well to do and deardear is just a pauper.

When I first know him, his pay is so miserable and he had no savings as he needed to pay for his own degree. However, what really makes me admire him is that he paid for his own education starting from his poly years onwards. He started working when he was 16 to 17 years old. Gosh, I remembered at that age I am still using my parents' money and my only worry is to get good grades. Whereas for him, at that age he had to worry about his school fees and daily meals. He is so independent and flexible that he can support himself no matter what. That is what attracts me to him. I know I can depend on him for the rest of my life. I remember that he once promise me that he will work hard and give me the luxuries in life. And now he has fulfill it. He has worked real hard and even managed to be on par with my pay. Besides working so hard to give me whatever I want in monetary sense, he also pampered me alot in other sense.

From the time when I married him till now, I have not regretted a single bit though when we quarrelled I will say hurting things to him. He has also been supportive of whatever I do and loving in all ways. Even when I was pregnant, he gave in to all my unreasonable complains. Now that I am no longer pregnant, he still helps me with all the housechores as he knows that I am tired and frustrated at times after taking care of baby for the whole day. This morning, he really surprises me by feeding Caden at 6am, washing his clothes and mopping the floor before 8am. He did all these so that I can sleep longer and don't feel stress about doing housechores when I wake up. I really feel so loved. Thank you deardear.

P.S: I think I am the more fortunate one. I have a caring mother and father, understanding & loving deardear and cute cute baby Caden. Thank you everyone for making a difference in my life.

Visit to Uncle James and Aunt Eunice's New Home

Since baby Caden has been better for the past few days, we have decided to bring him out.. Finally.. Baby is very excited and happy upon hearing that we are bringing him out.

Waiting happily for Uncle Alvin to pick us up.

Finger Sucking habit...

We brought baby to deardear's sec sch friend, James, newly decorated home. Lucky for us, Uncle Alvin came to pick us up in his doraemon car. Uncle James's and Aunt Eunice's house is at Toa Payoh. When we first stepped into the house, I was taken back by the extravagant design of the house. It looks like a condo showroom. I noticed there is alots of glass shelving to display Aunt Eunice's figurines, a BIG mirror at the living room and a look through glass wall/door to the kitchen. They combined two rooms into the master-bedroom. They even have a nice long walk-in wardrobe. The common toilet is black in colour with a very "high tech" mirror. Guess it might be very ex. According to deardear, the reno costs about $50k, not including the furnishing and all the electrical stuff.. Gosh.. Its a high class house.. It indeed looks very nice and well-decorated. However, if you ask me, I will probably not spend this amount of money unless I am really rich.

After touring the house, we went up to the sky garden at 12th storey for the buffet they have catered. Its indeed a nice place. So serene and windy too. Baby Caden woke up from his short nap and started to play with the uncles and aunties (Deardear's friends). However, after a while, he started to sulk and cry. Think that he is beginning to recognise people. Therefore, we stayed for a short while and bring him home.
