Back to work - 初四

It wasnt an enjoyable CNY this year..
In fact, I am dreading CNY now.

Back to work today and was feeling super tired. Stoned since 5am till now, which is like 5.30pm now.
Raining Raining and Raining since CNY Eve..

Lil gem woke up like 3am this morning for her usual feed and didnt fall asleep at all.. Kept us awake after her feed and mummy decided to take over her at 4am. Daddy proceed with his beauty sleep. Lil gem was playing non stop since 3am and since she still cant sit properly nor stand, mummy have to keep her tiny eyes on her.. the feeling was super bad.. Dozing off at some time.. Terrible Terrible. Tried to rocked her, sing to her to make her sleep but failed terribly.. Couldnt take it anymore as mummy's tired with her previous days of carrying her up down up down, last resort, the super Yaolan..

Within 10mins, she at last snooze.. wait.. the time now is 4.56am.. 4 more mins to get up.. no choice, gotta get up to wash up.. but.. she cried again.. woke the daddy up to bath while i carry her to make her comfy. She fell aslp in my arms and when i tot i could put her down, she wail again. no choice but to cuddle her and wait for daddy to wash up before he carry her.

Pushed her to my mom's and had a quick breakfast before going to work!
Thats why I was so stoned till now. Hope to have a good night's sleep today!

Be cooperative my lil gem..

A trip to ikea Alexandra - BESTÅ Cupboard

Was on leave on Friday to pack for CNY.
We got to ikea to search for some cabinet!
After mixing and matching, finally the salesman got the cabinet we wanted.
From a whopping $265 * 2 to a final price of $465 for 1 cabinet.
Proceeded to the restaurant to have a quiet simple lunch before heading to the first floor view more items.

looking at us eating and she is biting her finger too.
Fed her milk and proceed on!

The Q to the cashier was horribly long! so crowded on a Friday evening.
the wait for collection to the items was like 30mins to 45mins.
Upon collecting the items, we were shocked by the size of the items but hb managed to squeezed all in his humble lil car!

After unloading the items, we headed off to Jurong Point for dinner and to collect the MP diapers from Serene. Wanted to have dinner at JP but it was too warm for baby. So we pack home instead.

- Sat -
 Got up to see boxes and boxes of unfixed furniture. HB fixed the cupboard the whole day and was so tired after fixing!


BESTÅ cupboard completed!
End product of it! happy and satisfied!
*Ps. upon buying $500 worth of products in ikea now, we are given a $50 gift card! Hooray~

Krystal's first solid - Rice Cereal

Decided to gave the lil gem her first solid to try out today.
Bought Bellamy's 4mth Organic baby rice after recommendations from the SeptMTB2012 mummies.
It's $6.30 per pack gotten from Agapebabies.

Why did I decide to start her this early?
Well, mother's instinct told me that she needed more den milk and since she's on full FM, its good to give her other form of nutrients beside FM.
Its also to train her early to swallow her food.



We gave her 1 small spoonful of rice cereal mixed with warm water.
The reason, if we added too much FM, she might in future reject her FM.

A small spoonful is to try her out, teach her to swallow the cereal.

So far, she is enjoying her daily lil snacks and will proceed to give her more!

We will be testing out by the 4 days rule to see any allergy and stuffs!
Hope to test out some "Real" food soon!
