Aaaaah pooong!

Whenever any of us say out “aaaaah poooong!”, you will just let go yourself and lay down. As such, we gotta be extra careful not to slip our tongue when you are sitting on hard surface. You love playing this, so we only dare to say “aaaaaah pooong” when you are sitting on the bed. You will lay down and back to sitting position and redo it over and over not feeling tired.

Your keke also like to do this when he was almost same month as you right now. He also likes to play “aaaaah pooong” on the bed. Maybe this is call 兄妹情深

Miss "There"

Kaitlyn is good in giving direction to us. Whenever she wants to go to, she will point and say “there!” Her little finger will point to the direction and she will insist us to bring her to where she wants to. Kaitlyn is really good in telling us “there!” LOL! Whatever she wants, she just point and says “there!”, wherever she wants to go, she will just point and tell us “there!” Dear sweetie, u r getting cutier and cutier each day!

A day with mummy

Today, Kelvin not feeling well, as so, i took emergency leaves and stay at home with the 2 kids. The initial plan is, to send Kaitlyn to school after she wakes up from sleep. However, things not always turn out as we plan...at the end when we went to pick up both kids lunch from the school, Kelvin decided to go to school and end up we let Kaitlyn stay at home with us, LOL! The one suppose to off from school goes to school and the one suppose go to school doesn't go.

Kaitlyn wake up from her afternoon nap and since i am so free, so i took let her sit on the floor with lots of toyes and cushions surrounding her (to support her just in case she decided to lean backward) Since she is so busy playing and i took the opportunity to take her pic again. And at the same time tidy up her hair and create a small coconut tree look at her hair.

Bon Odori 2009 Penang - Japanese Ghost Festival

This is first time i bring Kelvin to attend such a big outdoor function, Bon Odori. Since it's at Esplanade, so i let him wear his close toe shoes instead of sandals as i know this little boy of mine will sure complain if sand goes into him shoes. However, this still doesn't stop him from asking me to carry him. The reason he gave is, he can't see the dance perform on the stage.We reached Esplanade around 7pm, and it's so crowded. Lots of Japanese family have their picnic at the esplande in conjuction with the Bon Odori celebration.

I still can recall, 7 yrs ago when i attended the Bon Odori celebration, choice of food and games is quite limited. But today, the choices of food and games is a lot! And also lots of people as compare to previously. I guess the Japanese association is selling hard on this event! We actually try to walk around and look for some unique Japanese food, but no luck. The Bon Odori celebration is so much different than the one that i attended 7 yrs ago even the venue is same.

Since it's so crowded and pity my little boy need to walk in the crowd and smell others sweat, so we carried him all the way. Geez the weather is so hot yet he's heavy, so we need to take turn to carry him. Suddenly he saw people eating sundae and he told me he wanted to have one too. Since it's so hot, so i told him i will get him one. Here come the challenge! Where to find...we walk along the food counters and finally i ssaw it. Another challenge is, i don't have food coupon! Since it's so crowded and we decided to have our dinner else where, so i don't plan to get a book of food coupon worth RM20 just because i need RM2 for a sundae. I saw a group of teenagers lining up for sundae, so i asked whether can they sell me RM2. And guess what, one of the teenagers told me, he CAN'T just sell me RM2, if i want, i need to get RM5 from him as he claimed that he doesn't want to tear off his food coupon. What the heck!! This teenager nowadays act like loan shark! Since i need food coupon desperately to get a sundae for my little darling, so i buy it from him.

So, my little one happy enjoying his sundae after that. For me, i need to crack my head how to spend the remaining Rm3. I am thirsty, so went to the drink stall, order a cold drink, it's RM2, and i gave the seller the remaining RM3 and he insisted to give me back the balance...oops...RM1 left, so how? walk walk walk, saw this vegetarian stall selling fried poh piah for RM1, bingo! Bought the poh piah and gave to Kelvin since he said he's hungry. Opps, look at my watch, it's almost 8pm, no wonder he said he's hungry.

We left the Eslapande and headed to Fong Wei restaurant for dinner.

I am Bumblebee

Recently, Kelvin goes crazy with transformer, especially Bumblebee. I managed to get him one transformer shirt and pant from Queensbay Mall and he's so happy and excited with it.

When i asked him to pose for the photo shooting, he told me he is bumbleebee! you see, how cheeky he is ! He is growing up day by day...I'm gonna miss his cheekiness when he grows up!

No=Yes

Today,when i offer your express breast milk, the moment you see the milk bottle, you shake your head and i started to worry. What's wrong with you as it's already almost your feeding time. But when i look at your facial expression again, even you keep shaking your head left and right showing no sign, but your mouth is wide open! Hahaha...then only i realised that you have respond to my question "Kaitlyn, do you want nen nen?"

You actually want the milk and you are reponding to mummy saying you want it but, the way you respond has opposite meaning. I recall, youe ke ke also did the same thing to mummy. No=yes.

Later, during the next feeding, i did the same test on you, ask you whether you want any milk. You keep shaking your head left and right with your mouth open widely and your hand stretched out trying to reach the milk bottle in my hand.

I am so glad that you started to show more respond to our question and seems like able to show us your preference. All the while, whenever you refuse to drink milk, if we force you to drink, you will either move your face away or refuse to open your mouth, and now you are at another milestone, you can tell us no=yes!

The brother and sister

I tried to seperate both of you, as afraid Kelvin may pass some of the viruses to Kaitlyn, but both of them can't be seperated. As soon as both of them see each others, they want to play with one another, especially if both of them in the room. Kelvin will jump on the bed and Kaitlyn will clap her hand or shout and want us to hold her and let her jump as well.

Then...how to seperate both of you.....

Sweet dream, my little princess

Mummy needs to stay in hospital with ke ke, so no choice, i need to let you overnight at ah kong's house. This is the first time mummy not sleeping beside you ever since you're born. Glad to know that ah kong manage to tug you to bed and you seems ok to sleep with them.

Wednesday night, i called back to check whether have you taken your milk after evening nap, have you do this, have you do that.....Ah ma told me you are ok for everything, mummy feel more relief. However, ah ma told me that you wake up few times middle of the nite, sit up and check around, and luckily you continue to sleep then they pat on your back. And you wake up at 7am. Morning call for both ah kong and ah ma.

Today when mummy pick you up from school, the moment you see me, you gave me a sweet smile. Baby, do you miss mummy? Mummy misses you soooo much!

Finally....all ok - part 7

Dr Pong came around 8:30am and good news!! He told us your lung ALL CLEAR! What a big relief. But, he still want us to let you use Ventolin for another few days until your cough gone away, as for Seretide, you will need to use it for another 2 weeks. And you will need to back for follow up check up next Tuesday to make sure the viral all gone with the wind. You will need to use the Seretide as prevention for asthma, and Dr Pong will re-assess your condition from time to time.

However, Dr Pong want to check on you again before he goes for lunch to make sure everything ok. So we waited for him until 1 pm. As soon as Dr Pong confirm we can discharge, you were so happy when we tell you "we are going home" You pull your bag along the walkway and wave bye bye to everyone. **slapped forehead**

I am happy that despite you are sick, but you still remain active and tough. Good boy!

What happen to my little prince-part6

Daddy and mummy work half day today and pick both you and Kaitlyn around 3:30pm and headed to hospital. Ah ma also come to help up.

Guess what, Dr Pong told us that your lung is better than the day before!! What a big relief. For the whole night, mummy keep worry that you may need to have intravenous catheter (IV), and you will cry and scream like crazy when the doc do it for you because your hand quite puffy and doc will have difficulty to find your vein. Once, mummy look at the doc doing IV on you and i almost want to push the doc away when you keep crying and call out mummy in pain! Dr Pong said the Seretide and Ventolin work on you and he wants us to keep using it for you as preventive medicine. He told me you are showing asthma sympton and he further assure me this is nothing serious as his youngest kid also has asthma and with proper prevention treatment, this will go away. But, if we do not go on treatment, then it will become the real asthma. Mummy also ask Dr Pong to check on Kaitlyn to make sure she is ok since she's having cough too. Luckily Kaitlyn's lung is clear. what a relief!

Mummy checked with Dr Pong if we admit you and let you go on nebulizer, will this help to speed up the recovery,and the answer is YES. So since daddy and mummy had the worst preperation after last night doctor visit, so we decided to let you admit for a day. Dr Pong told us there is lots of cases on kid having bad cough and need nebulizer for these few weeks due to bad weather. Those kids with sensitive airway will fall sick.

We wanted to get a provate room, but no luck. So we need to get a twin sharing room. You don't look like a person who admit to hospital, you look like a person check in to hotel for holiday. As soon as we brought you up to the room and as soon as you see the baby cot, you asked us to let you in.
K: bring me into the "cage"
You called it the cage because the baby cot has rail for all the 4 sides. And you even tell us that you are a wolf staying in the cage. **slapped forehead**

Ah Kong came to the hospital to meet up with us and he needs to pick up ah ma and Kaitlyn. Mummy doesn't let Kaitlyn come up to the ward as i afraid there could be lots of bacterias in the ward, so ah kong and ah ma take turn to take care her at the hospital reception area while one of them come to see you in the room.

You were on nebulizer every 4 hrs, regardless midnight. You cried for a while when the nurse wake you up middle of the nite for nebulizer. But luckily you quite corporate.

What happen to my little prince-part5

Dr Pong not happy with your progress. He said the infection is getting worst compare to last Sunday and he suggested go for nebulizer and after that, he will re-examine your lung.

When you are having the nebulizer, mummy need to find way to trick you, else you will keep turning your head here and there, so what did mummy tell you?
1. This is the mask that fogging uncle use when they do fogging. This able to keep you concentrate for a short while then later you strat want to play with the equipment.
2. Suddenly, something strike my mind ..TRANSFORMER!! I quickly told you this is the mask that transformer had on the face, we asked the nurse to let you hold it yourself. And happily you hold it.

The nebulizer doesn't help much and in fact you have wheezing sound. Dr Pong even let mummy listen to your breathing using stethoscope, and i hear wheezing sound. My poor boy, what happen to you. You didn't have severe cough, you only have cough at night and morning when you wake up. Dr Pong told us that this is caused by virus infection to the lung. And he wants us to admit you immediately. Both me and daddy doesn't prepare for admission and mummy very very reluctant to admit you immediately. I told Dr Pong that i will bring you back to hospital for admission on Wednesday and he is ok with the plan but, he wants me to let you have home treatment on Tuesday night. He kept reminding us that if we are seeing you have any breathing difficulty at midnite, he wants us to bring you back to hospital immediately. He prescribe Seretide and Ventolin, we need to give this to you 4 hrly.

We left hospital with heavy heart and both daddy and mummy prepared for the worst, which is need to admit you on the next day.

Luckily you don't seems to have any fuss when we use Seretide and Ventolin to you through aerochamber.

What happen to my little prince-part4

You refuse to wake up and you told mummy you are not feeling well and requested me to stay at home with you. Even though mummy doesn't have much leave but how can i reject you when you are not feeling well. So i took a day off and requested Ah Ma to come over to help up.

Since mummy need to get some reports done on Monday, so i told you not to disturb me while i rushing for thing done. You well behave and you play with your toys beside me. I guess Kaitlyn sense that you are not going to school and mummy not going to work, so she also laze on the bed and sleep until 8-ish. Usually she will wake up latest by 8am. Daddy went to work when Ah Ma come over to help up.

Ah ma brought you out to buy breakfast and you told Ah Ma you want barli sohm, chee cheong fun and egg! So happily, ah ma bought for you. You took a bit of everything and you told us you are full. Well again, at least you eat something.

I guess you are too boring to stay at home because mummy asked you not to go disturb Kaitlyn, cannot disturb mummy, cannot run around, cannot talk too loud as you may wake Kaitlyn up...soooo many cannot...so when we drop by the school to pick up lunch for Kaitlyn, you decided to go to school. Teacher Margaret greeted us and as soon as you see her, you hold on her hand and wave to mummy. **slapped forehead** And mummy keep asking whether you want to stay in the school and you told me YES. Mummy leave you at school and go back with Kaitlyn.

And when teacher Margaret offer you lunch, you took it happily. DUH! When mummy offer you breakfast, you gave me all sorts of excuses. According to teacher Margaret, you finish 3/4 of your lunch and whole bowl of porridge during dinner time.

At night, no more vomit. A good sign. And we will back to see Dr Pong again on tomorrow.

What happen to my little prince-part 3

You don't have good appetite at all, but you do eat a little bit.

You wake up from afternoon nap with a bit heaty feel, so mummy gave you some paracetamol and we decided to bring you see doc at night. But, you still remain very active even though you don't eat much, wonder where you get all the energy.

Luckily Dr Pong has night clinic on Sunday, and since we don't make any prior appointment, so mummy called up and inform the nurse that we are going to see Dr Pong and request them to get your medical card ready. We reached the clinic around 820pm, and luckily not many patients. We waited for about 10 mins.

When Dr Pong checked on you, he listed to your chest and back for 2 times and his face look very serious and worry. My heart really sank when i see Dr Pong re-examine your chest and back for second time. Usually, he will do it once only. He told me he suspected pneumonia or bronchitis as your breathing sound is not clear. And he suggested to have lung x-ray. So what to do, of course follow his suggestion and we went for x-ray. Dr Pong keep explaining to me about these and keep assuring me you will be ok, i guess my face must be very confuse and worry at that time when he suggest X-Ray. What are you busy with while daddy mummy talking with Dr Pong? You were busy walking around in his clinic, playing all the toys in the clinic.

We are able to get the x-ray result immediately and it's the result that we HATE the most! Your left lung has some white area which means there's infection. Dr Pong prescribe you antibiotic~zitrhomax and request us to bring you back for check up next Tuesday. Keep my fingers crossed for all the best!

What happen to my little prince-part2

Today, as usual, we went to Hutton lane for daddy's favourite koay teow soup, but too bad, they are closed. So since we were at town area, so we went to Macalister road , Hong Kong kopi tiam for breakfast as mummy can had dim sum whereas daddy can had hokkien mee.

You are a bit cranky and refuse to eat anything. It's not a good sign at all! Since no matter how we coax you, you refuse to eat, so we give up. However, we are not that cruel, we drop by Continental Bakery to get you sausage bun after our breakfast. You ate 3/4 of the sausage and told me you are full. Well, at least you ate something. After that, for whole day, you only rely on your formula milk to keep you full.

For dinner, as usual, every Saturday we will have our dinner with Goh family. So since today Uncle James not at home, so daddy drive everyone out. And where to go?? Of course your favourite place, Queensbay Mall. You told me you want to have toufu and egg, so again, where? Canton-i! At least you ask for something to eat.

You ate the egg and 2 slices of toufu. After that, you walked around in the mall for a while before we headed back. Everything looks ok! Until....

At night, after your milk, you started to cough then throw out...Mummy HATE this so much. I am ok to clean up the mess, i just HATE to see you throw out becuase this shows something wrong with you. Daddy and mummy keep asking you whether you are ok or not while we were cleaning up the mess. And you told me the egg make you sick. Oh no!!!

Luckily you only throw out once then able to sleep after that. Will need to keep monitoring you.

What happen to my little prince-part 1

Your appetite on Thursday night was superb. You had dinner with us and you finish up the rice with egg.

Today, around 5pm, teacher Margaret called mummy and inform me that you throw out your dinner. Oh no, not a good sign...Whenever you throw out, means something wrong with you. So quickly, mummy inform daddy and we quickly wrap up our work and headed to the school.

When we reached the school, you greeted us with a smile. One thing good about you is, no matter how sick you are, you will still very active and have a minimum smile on your face. Teacher told me you were ok with lunch and your milk before and after nap, you only throw out after dinner. Mummy keep asking you whether are you ok or not and you keep telling me "I AM OK!".

At night, when mummy chat with you,
M: Kelvin, why you throw out the dinner?
K: Because i don't like the porridge.
M: No boy, when you don't like the porridge, you should inform the teacher, you shouldn't force yourself to throw out, ok?
K: OK

well, since you say so, so mummy thought it's all over....

Our little sweethearts

I have lots of things that i want to jot down, but i have no idea where to start..i just like seeing both of their smile! It really make my day!
