Updates.....

Yes i know we had disappear for quite a while, we have been really really busy with alot of stuffs, anyway here are the updates

Sharlene is coming to 7mths next week,what can she do now? She can flip, finally... but sometimes you can still see that she is having difficulty to turn around as her body weight is pulling her backward but she is a very determine gal, so she will persist to turn around so that she can move about in the house.Since this is her new found skill, she seems to enjoy it alot rolling around all over our house,sometimes we cant really find her, she will roll under the table, behind the door etc...

Slides of her on 2 occasions rolling around the house.How did she get under the table, seriously I have no idea.


She now know her rights and what she likes and what she doesn't.When Sean try to bully her she will scream. When she is not happy she will kick her leg hard showing us her temper and start yelling!!.Sharlene started her solid exactly on 6th month, my mum basically cook very soft porridge for her mix with all sort of vege (pumpkin, brocolli,carrot etc..)As usual she is never enough with food ,an hour after her porridge she will demand for milk.

She is a attention seeker, always want us to play with her, she will be very happy when we start talking or playing with her. However she is also going through this stranger anxiety phrase, where she will starts to cry when she sees some new faces.





Hang on there, few more updates are yet to come...

Sean's 4th birthday

Yes we had Sean's birthday celebration early this year. Few reasons, Sean was going for his adrenoids surgery fews days after this party and also he will be leaving his current childcare as we are moving into our new house soon.

So it's sort of like early birthday cum farewell party for him.We did briefly told him about the surgery but he wasn't very sure what was going on.He was more excited about his birthday party.

I was very panic as everything sort of like very last minute, we only booked the playcenter a week before and the cake was during the week. There was even a small drama with his surgery date, where we had everything confirm on 14/4/09 and out of sudden we received a letter from Royal Children Hospital informing us that they had changed the initial date and bring forward to 17/4/09 which is 1 day before his birthday party.

Can you imagine that, everything's booked and invitation had been sent out. To think that we brought forward the party only because of his surgery and now they changed the date......Luckily Jerry managed to convince them to give us back the initial date. Phew!!Otherwise all our plans will go haywire. Sean will be very dissappointed as I can really tell that he is very looking forward to it.

Anyway since he is very into Spiderman, so we sort of like have a spiderman party for him. Spiderman cake, spiderman decoration but we did not tell his friends that it's going to be a Spidey theme. Guess what apparently all his friends seems to know that he is very into Spidey, they got him presents that are mostly related to spiderman.

We all had a good day,and he really enjoy himself alot,which I am really glad.

Sean's surgery

Sean had his surgery date on 23/4/09.It was a scary morning for both myself and Jerry but not Sean yet as he wasn't really aware what was going on other than we telling him that the doctor is going to remove some worms from throat, so that he can have more ice creams and chocolates when he recovers. Of course he willingly follow suit.

After registration and consultation, we waited for quite a while before the doctor gave him a General Anaesthetic which will make him sleep. He was still very co-operative when we told him to breath from the mask, as we tried to relates it to his Buzz LightYear mask, if you watch Toy story.And after a while he driffed off. My tears roll down automatically when i see him dozing off innocently as I just felt like I have misused his trust for me.

Half hour later the Surgeon came to inform us that everything was alright, the surgery was successful and told us to wait for the nurse to call us to receive Sean.We were very anxious to see him ,every seconds seems forever, at that moment we just felt that we have to see him immediately.

Shortly we were led to a room where all the kids were place after their surgery.Before i even reach there I heard Sean's crying. I think he is in trauma, feeling unsure and unsecured not knowing what is happening to him. As he cried and screamed, blood just kept oozing out from his nose, as when he screamed he tends to aggitate the wound thus leads to blood flowing out. I quickly ran to calm him down,I
could feel his pain, my heartache, my tears just rolled down uncontrollably.The nurse had to give him another shot of anaesthetic.

He was half awake and half driffting off to sleep again. I curddled him, and gave him all the assurance that we will be by his side and that he will be safe.Slowly he went back to sleep. Then they arranged the ward for him and transfer us to the room.

I am glad is over, and i would like to thanks everybody for showing their care and concerns to Sean througout the whole period.


This is Sean innocently not knowing what's going on ahead of him (before surgery)

My mini birthday



I had a mini birthday celebration at home.As you grow older your own birthday is no longer really that important.Everything is about my kids.
To be honest I tend to forget or maybe just that my brain choose not to even remember my age.Thus these days when people ask me about my age I have to literally start taking out the calculator which i always have it in my bag and start doing the subtraction from my year of birth.I am not exegerating, trust me.....

I was working this year on my birthday, otherwise I would usually have a day off in the past.Jerry bought me a cheese cake and i just cut it with my 2kids after dinner at home. Part of the reason why we didnt do much is also because we had agreed that we had ate out during Valentine's day and just save the $$ for our new house which is coming.

But anyway I am still happy as I have my family with me.
