Hospital 1N stay - Good Friday Eve

Frightening Thurs as hb complained of bad tummy ache resulting a trip to A&E.
It happened around 6+pm when hb fetched me off work. He dropped me off at my mom's and he proceeded to change his car. On the way back, he felt very bad. Gobble down food and rush to the clinic to meet up with him. Saw that his face was so pale. Thinking it could be food poisoning or stomach flu. Doc gave him a painkiller jab and some gastric medicine and we headed off to my mom place to fetch bb and he rest.
But the pain got more unbearable at 9pm and he wanted to go to the hospital immediately.
I got a quick shower, settled bb with my mom and Jason luckily was there to fetch us down.
Registered at the A&E, paid $100 and hb was called to asked/checked on his problem.
Went to another waiting place for the doc and waited.. Time was passing so slow and seeing hb in pain really makes every min passed like hours.

10mins later, his numbered was called and he went in for his check. Patients only, family members to be stayed outside.Was worried and hoping everything was fine. Nurse came out and called for family member to go in and all I could hear was, stay in the observation ward and to be on drip.

We went to kopitiam for snacks and drinks, walk around and settled in the car to rest.
As my mind was everywhere, I couldnt get any rest and praying hard everything will be fine soon.
Not long, was been called and told tat he is fine and could be ask to go home!
Thank god!

Headed home ard 2am and rest around 3+ 4am.
I couldnt get to slp as I was worried about my girl again. #motherhood

Thats how I spend my eve of good Friday.. In the hospital..

Good Friday, REST home day!

Krystal's first pool swim

Brought the lil girl to the pool at Jurong Safra since we are members of Safra, facilities like the pool is free entry for us!

It was a super warm day and going for a swim is a good idea for all of us!

Prepared and changed at home and hb drove us there for our first dip together with bro~

Very ugly posture waiting for daddy!

Reached Jurong Safra, changed and headed to the baby pool!
By the way, its Free entry for safra members and $3.30 for each adult members accompanying.

Neck float on standby~ touching the water.. But she isnt too happy that day..


Sitting by the pool side with daddy since she doesnt wanna touch the water herself.
Afterwards, she cried the way till sleep as she is too tired to play herself.
HB and bro went to take a dip themselves and mummy continued carrying her to the shed for her beauty sleep instead.


Woke up 1hr later and wanting to play! but too late, we went off to have our lunch and both bro and hb were having their massage..


Krystal wants to sit too! So she joined in the fun..

Ended the day with a sunburn for HB, tired jiu jiu and a happy Krystal~
Will bring her for another round of swim real soon~

Gerber Jar Prune Purée

Baby Gem haven been pooing for the last few days and have tried various ways to make her poo by having Pear Purée and more water.

Still it doesnt work. Ended up we decided to get a jar of Gerber Prunes Purée from Giant.


It cost less den $2.00 and hoping it will work for her.
Fed her in the morning after milk.


It tasted not as wad I expected. It doesnt taste sour but tasted sweet.
As it was Krystal's very first time taking this, she shivered every mouthful of it.

Got to work and during lunch time, heard the good news! She poo-ed! So it does work isnt it?

Its another playdate at home

Invited the West side mummies to our humble home for a playdate and 8 mummies turned up! Last min some were unable to come due to last min commitments or work.

Clear up the place, moved the sofa, pull out the mat, brought the jumperoo over~

Spacious area in the living room for the lil ones who are coming at 12~

Slowly all made their way over 1 by 1 and hb brought lunch (mcdees) for them!

First 2 mummies to come~ Adeline with lil Alivia and Iris with lil Phoebe~

All left around 4+pm and we decided to head off to Baby Fair @ Takashimaya Square B2, 6 Mar to Sun 24 Mar to get the pigeon bottles traded in.

The lil one decided to show momma her priceless laughter before going out~ aww..

Changed for her and myself and off we went. Actually wanted to meet up with Julia but she's a lil late and I am quite pissed off with the crowd at Orchard.
Couldnt even get a seat to have a peaceful meal.wanted to go back badly but found a quiet place at Breeks. The service there is super slow and we were starving.

Headed back home after dinner. Gotta have a good night sleep before lil devil is awake!

Home - Latest Addition Ceiling Fan

Mon / Tues
Work and Home
Nothing special happened. Its work and home and baby thats all.

Come Wednesday, hubby was on halfday leave to overlook the Fan which we bought earlier last week. Had it arranged delivered and install at 1-2pm.
Have been eyeing on the ceiling fan for quite sometime and at last we got it.

After the installations of fan, hb proceeded to Pigeon warehouse to do a 1 to 1 exchange for the pigeon caps. Due to the fact that after steralizing it, it expands till it is so loose and could not cap back after that.

Headed down to Yis to collect my soup from MIL and came to fetch me for dinner! 
So its a couple time for both of us. 

Told hubby I am craving for Seoul Garden and we headed to the nearest branch at Clementi Mall.


It have been sometime since I last ate Seoul Garden. Went in feeling lost.
Chosen my soup, had a seat and looking around to get the meat.. but!! where have the meat gone?!! Oh.. it has now upgraded to system ordering! So its you sit there, order thru the system and they serve.
We ordered like only 3 rounds and both of us surrendered. Ok we are not a buffet person.

Walked around the mall and after buying breakfast, off we go to fetch our lil girl!

Feeling excited over the first look of my living room!

*taddaaaahhh*

The end results of installation of the ceiling fan!
*Ceiling Fan at $380 inclusive of removing the existing light and installing the fan.

Hopefully today's a nice day for eveyone!
Happy Thursday!

Krystal's 2nd Solid - Butternut Puree

Was "forced" to stay home on a Sunday.. Terrible night as the lil one is cranky and lacked of sleep for the both of us.. Brought her out for breakie and went home.

Lazy sunday..

Decided to test out my new bought Combined Steamer and Blender from Philips Avent.
Wanted a Beaba set but considering the price, decided to get this instead as it works almost the same and best of all, cheaper and space saving!
(We do not have a big kitchen to start off with)

Bought at Mom & Me (Yishun Industrial) at a nice price of $169.15
Luckily I did not get the set from John Little or Baby fair as they were at $199 with the almost same free gift.

Have bought a butternut from Shop and Save earlier on and now its time to play with them!
Baby, mummy have never done this kinda cooking before.. Its all for you baby..

End up, grandma and daddy is the one doing for u baby.. Mummy do not know how to cut those stuffs..

Its Cut, wash, dice and throw, steam, blend, end results!
Satisfied! Completion time, less den 30mins!

Cleaning part is also a breeze. Remove the cutter, wash the container and dry it.. Thats all! How easy it was.


Its baby trying out time!
She loves it and wanting more! Screaming at mummy for more and more!
Such darling~

*Fever Subside~ Horray to my brave lil girl!

Late evening hubby went to Boon Lay shopping mall to get his ceiling fan.. Waiting for Wed for installation!

Last Jab - 5/6th Month and Burger Shack

At last.. No more jabs until after 12months.. Really hated this jab stuffs.

Brought the lil one to the New Kinderclinic at Holland.. Terrible place.. couldnt find the place and after found, the parking was another set of problem again.

Looking worried and emo becaused Mummy mentioned Dr Darryl and injections.. *cry*

As the usual practice, measuring of length n weight first.

Weighing only at 7+kg which is not a very "nice"weight for her as it is not even double her birth weight yet!
Gotta pump her up real soon.

As for length wise, its still ok as she is around 67~68cm right now.

Went in to see Dr Darryl and she looked at him with a serious face. Checked her hips, her bottom, her legs, neck, head and she is totally fine.
The real problem is bottle rejection. *headache*
Gums are ok and no signs of 1st tooth yet.

Proceeded with her 6 in 1 jab, Pneumococcal jab at both of her thighs. Cried lessed then 1min. My brave lil darling! and she is done with her jabs! Den she took her oral Rotarix and off we went to have lunch!

Visited the Burger Shack as it was nearby for lunch.

Interior simple decor of the place.


We ordered the BBQ Pork Burger, Firecracker (Harchiong) Chicken burger Set, Reversal Icecream and the Calamari.
Total bill comes up to $30+
Which I find it quite expensive.

Location wise was not convenient at all. Driving to the place is easy the only problem is the carpark which have limited space and waiting time could take like forever.

Food wise was ok-ok only. not to the extend of very delicious. Asian type of burger.

Verdict, once and will not go back again.
And yes, it isnt pram friendly at all.

After lunch, we went to IMM to get some groceries and home sweet home~
*Pray hard the lil darling will be fine after her jab! Please go away Fever!

**Updated.. lil darling is running a slight fever of 37.7~38.0 degree.
