Baby Caden's Great Grandmother's Birthday Celebration

Today is baby Caden's Great Grandmother's birthday celebration. Lucky he is feeling better. His fever has gone down completely last midnight at 12am. After his last feed of fever medicine at 10pm, we stopped his fever medicine completely.

At 6.25pm, gong gong came over to drive us to Bendemeer (Lai Wah Restaurant) for the celebration. Baby was dressed in his christmas suit. We were the last to arrive but just in time to start the dinner. He was so excited to see so many people and being carried by so many people today. Thus, he refused to drink his milk.. Too many people.. So deardear and I had to go out of the restaurant to feed him his milk.

At around 8 pm, we sang birthday song for great grandma and had the infamous Emicake Durian Cake. Then gong gong drove us back again.

First day in School

Its my first day in school... I woke up at 4am.. Not that I am excited about work. Baby Caden was crying very miserably then.. My mum said that he might be down with fever as his body is very hot throughout. I immediately took his temp and he is indeed down with fever - 38.8 degrees. Both deardear and I immediately jumped out of our bed.. We started planning who to take child care leave today. My mum volunteered to take leave in the morning and bring baby to Doc Ong. As for deardear, he will take the afternoon off. Me? Can't really take child care leave as its the first day of school and I am in charge of the Sec 1s today. Too last min.. How I wish I can just stay at home with baby.. With a worried mind, I went to work.. It seems to be a long day as I am so worried about baby...

Luckily my mum said that baby was only down with fever. No flu or cough.. Its virus infection.. Maybe we bring him out too often for the past few days.. Sigh... So we are grounded for the weekend...

Managed to leave school finally at 4.30pm to rush home to see my precious.. So glad that his temp has gone down but still maintaining between 37.5 to 37.8 degrees. Really heartbroken.. Maybe he just not used to both deardear and I starting work formally. I was joking with deardear that it might be his way to force us to be with him all the time..

What a way to start work this year...

New Year Day

Its baby's first new year. Brought my whole family - Lau Ma, Xiao yi po, po po, gong gong, to Imperial Treasure Teochew Restaurant for New year lunch. Gave them a treat from that miserable bonus that I have just gotten. Baby Caden was so happy.. He seems to enjoy every outing. Guess he has to treasure them as I am starting work soon so will have to cut down on the outing.. Haha..

After lunch, we had a short walk around Taka. Then we took cab back home.. Once home, baby went to sleep. Guess he is tired from all the outing...

Baby's 10th Month Birthday

Today is baby's 10th month bday... Its also boxing day.. Deardear is on leave too.. Hehe.. So we decided to go out and have a good lunch..

We went to Takashimaya - Imperial Treasure Nan Bei Restaurant for dim sum. Its fantastic.. Even deardear loves it.. All thanks to Derrick who brought me there for dim sum before.. Haha..

After the sumptuous lunch, we walked around Orchard for a while as Tita needs to remit some money back to her husband at Lucky Plaza. Then we took a cab back home as baby was very sleepy..

In the evening my mummy bought Mac for us for dinner..

Baby's first Christmas - 25/12/2008

Woke up at 10am as deardear and I slept at around 3am last night. After baby Caden had his morning porridge, we brought mum back to Bugis to pray at the Kwan Yin Temple. There was so many people around so we had to pray from the outside.



Then we met up with my dad for lunch at Fu Lu Shou. We had chicken rice for lunch. After lunch, gong gong and po po brought baby Caden back to their house as he looked a little tired. Deardear and I proceeded to Bugis for shopping. He bought his iphone cover and was overjoyed...



When we went back to my parents' place, baby was sleeping. According to po po, he refuses to sleep until now. We waited for another half an hour and decided to bring him back home as Tita has prepared his porridge at home. When we reached home, I immediately fed him with his porridge and then put him into the sarong to carry on sleeping.



In the evening, Uncle Eugene and Aunt Rain came over to our house and brought baby out to airport for dinner.. After dinner, we packeted Popeyes back home for supper with Uncle Eugene and Aunt Rain.

Another simple holiday celebration...

Baby's first Christmas Eve - 24/12/2008

Came back to Eunos at 4 plus yesterday... Prepared the house for my best friends to come over for Christmas celebration.

At around 6.15pm, we met my best friends, Lishan Ah Yee and Weiling Ah Yee, at the MRT station. Deardear went to buy pizza, we went to get log cake, satay and drinks. It was a rainy night.. Had to carry Caden baby on one hand and carry the umbrella on the other.. Sigh.. The wind was so strong.. I was so scared that baby will catch a cold.. Lucky me brought his blanket to cover him.. It was a battle with the wind and rain...

When we finally arrived home, we had a sumptous dinner of pizza, chicken wings, satay and otah.. Deardear and I switch on our movable christmas tree too.. After taking some pic with baby and Ah yees, I had to put baby to bed as he was sleepy.. My mummy arrived at around 8 plus to join us for the celebration.

After putting baby to bed, we took out the log cake. Slowly savouring the log cake and red wine with Dark Knight movie showing on the TV... We even took some time to catch up with each other.. All the chats and relaxed moments ended at around 2am.. By then, we were really deadbeat... Guess we are old liao.. Cannot stay up too late.. Haha.. Ah Yees then took a cab back home...

Its indeed a peaceful and relaxed Christmas Eve...

Presents.. Presents.. Presents..

Yesterday, deardear took back 2 bags of christmas present from his colleagues.. He decided to give everything to me and baby.. So we left baby on the bed after everyone has left and surrounded the presents around him and he was overjoyed.. Haha..

Surrounded with papa's christmas presents

He loves the binnoculars because he can eat it?
