Trip to United Square

Yesterday, brought Jaden, my mil n my mum to United Square to eat breakfast...

Wow, there r so many shops tat got to do with babies, toddlers n children.. we seldom go such far places.. bcoz normally hubby didn't like to go so far, esp if to tag Jaden along.. As he think Jaden is hard to handle...

Saw a shop tat sells nice things, but v exp.. but there is a small play area where there r lots of balls.. Brought Jaden in, n of course, he play until he refused to leave.. we let him play for ard 30min, n had to go as we didn't buy anything from that shop, felt a bit paiseh.. the moment i carried him up, he was so angry n started crying n shouting..

Distracted him by showing him other things n playing with him.. let him play with car rides n etc.. after which, we went to Toys R Us.. saw a Esprit stroller which i liked, let Jaden sit in when he was drinking his water.. he quite enjoyed the stroller n will even kiao ka... hahaha

decided to buy that stroller.. my mum insisted to pay as a gift for her grandson.. but who knows when we were home, found out tat 1 of the wheels in front not working v well.. actually tried the stroller b4 buying, n already found out that the wheel is like not working well, but i thought is bcoz the floor was too slippery, but who koes on hard ground oso the same case.. so no choice, i told my mum tat i need to make the trip down again, as the receipt was with her..

just coincidentally, my bro looking for me.. so after some discussion, decided that he will drive both my mum n I to United Square n oso eat something there.. went to fetch his gf too b4 going..

The stroller was the last 1, as it was oso the display set.. so they refunded us the money.. i told mum i'll go Vivo next week to take a look as there also have Esprit stroller... wat a day.. haha.. but did not dampen my mood lah...

It's ok, next week then we'll go n take a look.. hope can buy that Esprit stroller loh!

Jaden's hospitalisation bill is here

I've been waiting for the hospitalisation bill from KK, til now finally i received the bill..

I still kept the hospitalisation bills that Jaden had when he was 1.5mth old.. tat time, we need to fork out near to 2K of cash to pay for his hospitalisation fees.. we had not bought his policy at that time, and somemore just paid a few thousands for my delivery stay in NUH..

After that incident, we quickly helped Jaden to buy a good hospitalisation insurance pkg from my Prudential agent.. Kelly did give me some advice as I really had little knowledge abt buying insurance policies.. besides tat, i also bought an educational policy for Jaden.. n also his CDA a/c needs $$ to be credited into every month... all need $$$...

This time round, unfortunately, Jaden was hospitalised into KK again. but of course not as bad as the other time which needed operation.. Kelly reminded me about calling our agent Daniel abt the claiming as Jaden was hospitalised.. only then it came into my mind tat, ya hoh, i did buy a policy from Daniel leh.. but forgot if the plan that i bought was a normal plan, or a premium plan.. Daniel checked for me, n heng ah, his policy was a premium package.

This bill, b4 govt grant, the bill went up to 3k.. a little lower than the previous bill.. now u know having a child is so exp liao hoh... oh my god... after grant, still need to pay ard 1.5k cash..

Prudential sent us a statement abt our claim for Jaden's policy.. i'm still quite blur abt the payment, as we had not signed the form for KK to deduct some amt from CPF, so tmr i gonna call KK's billing department to ask them.. n i couldn't get thru my agent as i need to clarify some details from him too.. this case n the previous was diff.. previous no claim to be done, just need to fill up the CPF form, to acknowledge the deduction from Medisave, the max amt stated by KK, the rest shld b all paid by cash.. this time has the policy claim, so i'm quite confused..

But no matter what, I still hope this is the last time that i need to deal with KK hospitalisation bills... I cannot prevent accidents to happen I know, but 2 times in 16 months is not funny at all.. it's not the $$ tat I'm heart pain about.. it's the mentally n physically stress that scare me.. i can only say it's torturing mentally more than physically, really... i really cannot stand if there's a next time like tat.. i have family, relatives, friends who saw me crying, sad, haggard during the bad time.. this is the time when u will get to see me this way, otherwise i'm always v confident, proud n happy.. that was the only time tat u will ever see me collapse..

my family felt heart ache for me as they saw me this way.. my pals too.. i cannot help it, n i'm sure all of u will understand tat it's not tat i dun wana b strong.. but in such situation, how to? $$ paid can b earned back.. i'm not worried abt the $$, i just dun wish my son to b involved in such situation again!

Just imagine the $$ i spent in hospitalisation bills, n the change of car ( tat time after Jaden was discharged 1 month later, i paid ard 7K+ for the change of Picanto to Rio ), now i should be another 12K richer.. but now i'm 12K poorer, haha!

but no matter what, I just hope my son can become a stronger person.. pls dun give me another heart attack ok?? I love my son.. I love my family, I love all who loves me too!

Tomb Sweeping

It's been 2 years ever since i went tomb sweeping with my maternal side relatives.. this year i'm back into action..


in the past, i'll never b absent for tomb sweeping.. n every year when we went tomb sweeping, i would have a lot of emotions, all squeezing into my heart, which made me sad.. all bcoz this is my maternal grandpa, who loved me so much..



He passed away when i was around P4.. I was so sad.. I could still roughly remembered, when he was lying in the hosp, so sick.. i went to visit him after school, mum n dad brought us there.. Though i was still young tat time, but i could understand the language they were talking about.. (cantonese)..



After visiting ah gong, tats wat we called him when he was still around.. my parents brought us home 1st.. i remembered them saying to each other that, the doc told them to b mentally prepared that ah gong will not be able to make it after tonight.. i heard it, but i didn't say anything.. just kept quiet n was so sad.. n indeed the next day when we woke up, my ah gong left us..



my po po was so sad.. she cried so badly.. we did not go to school, was at the funeral.. i was asked to stay at the funeral, to burn the incense paper, all bcoz my ah gong loved me the most, out of all grandchildren tat he had.. though i didn't say out my emotions tat time, but no 1 knew i was so sad.. even til now, when i need to talk abt my ah gong, my tears will roll...



i've not seen my ah gong for the past 2 years.. n this year i got to see him again.. i told him abt my marriage, my husband who came with me this time, which was also his 1st time paying respect to my ah gong, told him abt my son Jaden.. asked ah gong for his blessings, n asked him to bless my family happiness..



Still, the one who was the most emotional was my po po.. the moment she started talking to my ah gong, she cried again, n i was SO sad.. my 5th uncle was sad too, so he quickly changed the topic, n then we all brought my popo away.. to prevent her from getting so sad as she is already so old..



After leaving, we all went to have breakfast b4 going on our separate ways.. When Jaden is older n more sensible, i will bring him over n pay respects to ah gong.. want ah gong to see my life now.. it's always so sentimental everytime i think of my ah gong.. coz he really loved me so much..



There's a lot of feelings to say... but dunno where to start n how to start.. can u imagine that now i'm blogging, n i'm crying too?? ah gong has left us for 18 years, n i still missed him so much, n remembered his time with us, with me when i was young.. can imagine that how close we were b4 he passed on... 18 years, so long already.. but no matter how many years he had left us, my po po is the 1 who missed him the most.. I hope my ah gong can be reincarnated to a good family who loves him n will nurture him.. n he can be v happy n healthy..



i will miss u ah gong!

lost my voice

I had gotten the feeling of painful throat on last Thursday already, but didn't really care so much.. n now I've gotten the bad fruit..



Monday when i returned to work, i wasn't in my top form.. i started to lose my voice, but not as bad as today.. my voice was so coarse n bad.. mayb due to lack of rest for the past 11 days.. Hubby n I suffered from the same illness, but mine was worse..



Today, my voice went worse.. luckily for my p2, my co-teacher helped me with the lessons (1.5hr), as last week i've already instructed her to take my p2 class, while i still take my own P1 class.. today when i went into my p1 class, i couldn't speak any louder, coz my voice just couldn't come out.. struggled through the 1.5hr in my p1 class b4 i could come down to the staff room n rest my voice, n also had my lunch.. (3pm)



Went to the doc just now after i knocked off from work.. not the usual doc i visited.. this doc saw my condition n yet gave me only 1 day MC... hmmm.. normally i visit my other doctors, given my condition now, shld b either 2 days or for the rest of this week.. coz i couldn't teach a proper lesson at all..



but watever... if by tmr night i'm still like tat, i have no choice but to get extension of mc... it's not on purpose.. but if u hear my voice, u just think abt it, do u think i can carry out my lesson for the whole day? esp if that day is my heavy day?? my only lighter day is Tues, which is today.. i have plenty of markings to do.. at least i cleared almost all!! so happy with myself!



but no worries.. when i'm fully recovered, i'll b in a better form... just wait n see.. but hoh, i think i may need quite a number of days to b fully recovered. coz my throat is really painful... aaarrrgg

UPA Leave

It's been quite a number of days that i've last updated my blog.. many ppl shld koe that Jaden was hospitalised last Thur nite..


I was on UPA Leave (Urgent Private Affairs Leave) all the way from last Thur to this Sunday.. will report back to work tmr...


Jaden was found v breathless on Thur evening.. when i reached my in laws' house, he was lying on the bed, so sickly.. before i could sit down n have my dinner, i quickly go petrol station to top up my petrol, while hubby n MIL packed Jaden's stuff.. we decided to head down to KK..



By the time we spent 3 hours at A&E, it was decided that Jaden need to be hospitalised.. After some tests n checkups by diff docs, Jaden was diagnosed to have 1st Wheeze Bronchiolitis.. Was warded in the High Dependency Ward for 5 days.. was discharged on monday noon..



Doc said, actually wanted to shift him to the general ward as he's feeling much better, but was afraid he might catch other viruses there, so allowed us to bring him home on Monday noon.. i did ask to get him discharged on tat day too, luckily.. if not, he will need to stay in KK for 2 more days loh..



Jaden is recovering well, dun worry.. Had been at home taking care of him.. though had been at home, but taking care of him isn't easy.. v grouchy n noisy.. I didn't have much rest, complexion becoming worse.



tonight, my pils are coming back from M'sia.. will put Jaden there n we'll rest at home n get ready to start work tmr.. it's been v tiring for us, but no choice.. all i hope was, dun give me another heart attack.. sooner or later i won't b able to take it..



Pls bless my son with good health...
