My mummy's 53rd birthday

I had a very tiring Friday today... Really. After e post, I must go n sleep le..

This morn, as usual, brought Javier for bfast b4 going for his enrichment lesson. Had 1 bread while he had 3. After his lesson, drove him to NUH to meet up with PILs n Jaden. They helped brought him for checkup.

But bcoz he has had some food earlier, so cannot do e checkup, gotta wait til 2pm.Seeing time was only slightly b4 1pm, so decided to drive MIL n Jav back 1st as no point every1 stays for e test. Drove them back then fil acc me back to nuh with Jaden.

Reached NUH at ard 1.40pm. Went to e children clinic. Waited for quite some time b4 can do e test...Ended up after all done, it was 5pm. I haven even taken my lunch at all. Only drank plain water.

I need to rush to airport today bcoz sis' bf Peter arrives today. So after dropping fil n Jaden, I had no time to go home change or wat but to head straight to airport. I am so dead beat already. Luckily otw sending fil n Jaden back, I drove to Mac drive thru to buy some food.. or else I think I will faint. Haha...

After fetching Peter, we head back to JP.. as we were meeting my mum for dinner. It's her birthday today! We went to e florist to buy her some flowers.. n went for food. Of course my mum was happy!almost whole day outside or driving. I am really so tired.

In my family has a few Oct babies. My dad, mum, sis, mil, granny!!

When we all grow up, it means our parents r getting older. But I still wish my mum a happy birthday, n always healthy loh. Hope she can have more positive energy in her, so that she will find life happier n better. Stay happy ok mummy? Happy birthday!

Nebulizer

Finally, I really went to buy a nebulizer, for e sake of myself, Jaden n Javier.

The clinic called me yesterday noon to inform that e stock came, so in e evening I went to buy together with hubby. Also need to buy e solutions that are not cheap too.

Javier needed it yesterday night. I used it on him when he was sleeping, in order to help him in sleeping. Or else he breathes hard n cannot sleep well.

Jaden has tight airways when he has cough or bad running nose too. I just got it again last week that I oso need to be nebulized in e clinic. It's my fault for passing down this to my sons. So sad...

I hope with e machine at home, can help them abit when they have v tight airways. But indeed it can help. I used it a few times already when my asthma flared up. After nebulized, I can feel so so much better n energetic!

Tonight when he sleeps, I shall nebulize him again. Hope Javier can get well asap. Well, cc life is like that. He missed school since Wed. Shall let him go back on Monday.

My illness - asthma

I did not have asthma since young, I only contracted it when I was 19.

Whenever I have bad cough or real bad blocked nose, my asthma attack will come. So, normally when I had either these 2 'friends' visiting me, I must curb it down asap, or else when it gets worse, there goes....

My cough has been going on for a few days already. It doesn't seem to go away. Mayb bcoz of lack of rest, Jav was still adapting to cc life.. thus night time sleep was a disaster. He can ask for milk for at least 4-6 times per night.

I had a bad time breathing. Went to the doc this morn. Dr Low said my asthma flared up, luckily was a mild one as I came in early. If I drag for a few more days b4 it can get better, I think I will b in deep trouble.

I was asked to go for nebilizer. Went to e other room n sat down for 10min to breathe e solution with e mask on. After that, dr checked my breathing again, n confirmed that I can go home.

With e med n my inhaler, I must ensure I recover asap. Now on off will still abit breathless, tats v common for me. I went through e worst time of my attack. Wats worst was, Jaden had a similar illness like me. Doctors dun categorise him as asthma yet, but when his breathing became worse, he needs it just like me... Haiz...

This will be 1 of my worst illness that's in me. This is not easy illness to fight. I will try to keep it down as much as possible.

To SEA Aquarium 15-10-13

Today is Hari Raya Haji.. here's wishing all my malay frds a 'happy new year'!

Early in e morn, we set off to SEA Aquarium. Set off from home at 0930... There's drizzle, but it did not stop us from going... Haha...

Luckily we insisted e trip.. Though there's queue n crowd, but not those kind of scary lot of crowd...

It's indeed magnificent n nice to see so many sea creatures there... Though I find it really expensive. MIL got e tix from her daughter at a promo price quite some time ago.

Jaden dun really koe how to appreciate e place. He was amazed by some colourful fishes that's all. Javier on e other hand, super curious over everything, n kept wanting to look at every part of e aquarium.

We had lunch at Ding Tai Feng... b4 proceeding home.

Took quite a number of pics there... The boys enjoyed themselves, though at some time, they did fuss n made noise.

Javier got up real early b4 8am today, thus when we left Sentose for less than 10min, he dozed off in e car. Carpark fees are real exp too! it cost me $17! What a bomb.. scary... lucky I dun have e urge to keep coming to this place. Next time shall catch public transport.

It's a wonderful experience for us to visit such a place in Spore, n for the boys. I hope they enjoyed themselves today.

Javier going to school (cc)

Yes, after delaying his intake to enter cc for 2 months, yesterday was finally Javier's 1st day of going to cc..

N of course as expected, he was screaming n shouting n crying...

All I pray was, he can adapt to school life soon, so that he can learn more things n b vocal.

In e evening, hubby n I brought him to west mall to buy him a school bag n a water bottle. We let him choose e bag. I told hubby, let him have a choice to choose, so that he can have a more acknowledgement of his belonging, n then he koes this is wat he need to go school.

Today was his 2nd day. Still, crying n shouting.. But e duration of such situation actually decreased. He remembered that e kids put their water bottles on e rack, so when I passed him his, he also went to put in e basket. He refused to drink plain water, n from straw.. But still, I bought n let him bring, bcoz see see look look, 1 day he will follow e rest n do e same.

I think e challenge will come on e 4th day, Thursday. We plan to leave him there for e whole day. Hopefully e sch dun call us. Haha... 

Javier needs to learn how to follow instructions n routine. He has been a king. haha... I am reluctant to put him in cc actually.. though tot of starting him next yr instead. But my boss kept assuring me that my decision is right. I hope Javier can prove me wrong ASAP. I think I need to b more confident n kan kai...

For sure in cc they will learn both good n bad things. He has 2 classmates who r so potential naughty kids. But I think as an overall, he shld still b able to learn good things there. I hope there isn't any regrets or wat...

What a week to start off the new month of October

What a luck to start a brand new month, October...

30th sept Monday, Jaden spent e night with my in laws, while Javier went home with us. But ard 2.30am e next morn when I was deeply in sleep, our home phone rang. MIL called to say that Jaden was vomiting non stop.

Ard 6+, e phone rung again. MIL said Jaden still vomiting. N left with nothing to vomit only the yellow gland liquid.

Ard 7-8, FIL called numerous calls to ask me bring Jaden to see e doc, said his condition wasn't good. I was already tired to e max.

8.20am, fetched Javier to go doctor clinic to get queue number 1st, then go in laws house fetch Jaden to see doc.

Jaden was down with gastric flu. When I reached in laws' house, he was still vomiting. No strength at all. He was instructed to lie down so tat Dr Chua can insert med into his butt. He actually fell asleep on e couch. Coz kept vomiting that he did not sleep. PILs oso didn't sleep much too. After seeing doc, MIL brought Jaden up so tat they can rest. N I brought Javier to eat bfast then bring him home, so tat he wont b able to disturb them.

It was til ard 4pm+ then I brought Javier over to visit Jaden. Jav was asleep when we were on e way to 817. So when we reached, I placed him to nap on e mat, n koe wat.. less than 10min, Jav suddenly vomited!

In e evening, he vomited 2 more times. N of course he was angry.. strengthless just like his korkor. We had to dilute their milk powder intake coz e moment they drink milk, after a while they will vomit.

Today, I was down with bad allergy. Thighs had v bad rashes n they itched. I went to see doc n was given oral med n cream to apply.  haiz, wat a week... it's e new mth of e year n health hazards came. Wat a spoil spot. I have to stay away from seafood. Jialat. Sat n Sun have meal dates... Win liao, no need to eat good food!
