18 Mths

Little rascal turns 18mths today ! 

I've been waiting for this day for so long.

Why?

Because he can go childcare !! Yippee !!

I know, I know. Many have told me that he will fall sick easily if go childcare at such a young age. But, I think the pro outweighs the con. I'm thinking he will definitely learn something at childcare rather than staying at home moving chairs and boxes all day long. Besides, he can learn how to socialise with other kids and learn to be independent. He is too clingy to me now. Like a koala bear. I want him to become a man. A little man. 

Oh yes, this morning, we sent little rascal to take his 18mth jab. Haha...what a way to celebrate this memorable day. As usual, he was playing happily at the waiting area. Then, the moment we went in and Dr Yip pulled up his shirt, he cried like mad. I think he remembered that something unpleasant is going to happen.

Dr Yip, being a very experienced paediatrician, gave little rascal the jab while me holding him so tightly to prevent him from struggling. All was done in a split of second. Little rascal immediately stopped his cry as if nothing had happened. 

Good job son, for not behaving like a nuisance.

Golfing

Last night, hubby and I went golfing again. It's been continuously 3 nights already. Ok ok I know, but please don't call us siao (mad) as hubby is so enthusiast with the new clubs :) And yes, we are going tonight too .

We bumped into Brad, our Canadian coach, while we were at the range looking for a spot. Don't know why there were so many people there. Usually we can get a spot easily but we were having a hard time searching for one last night. And then, just so coincidentally, Brad managed to get one for us. Hurray !

Brad took a look at my golf clubs and commented that they were very good one indeed. He even told hubby that he doesn't need to change his clubs for the next 10 years. Hubby was grinning all the way :)

Brad was so nice. He took the effort to correct my swing though it was not our coaching session. Thanks to him, I managed to hit very good shots last night.

My Own Golf Set

Hubby has been urging me to get our very own golf set but I'm not so keen as we have been spending quite a lot of money recently; insurance, little rascal's school fees ( very expensive), new enrichment class fees and ...the list goes on.

As usual, hubby got the louder say. So, after checking out on a golf pro shop, we decided to get our set there. Hubby chose Maruman Verity Red-V, the new series 2009. I like hubby's Red-V. Very very chio. The moment I set my eyes on it, I knew hubby sure like it. As you can see, it's just so beautiful, hard to resist. 

2009 new series Maruman Verity Red-V 

2009 new series Maruman Figaro Ladies-White

I got myself Maruman Figaro. Mine is all white. Hubby chose it for me as he knows I like WHITE. It even comes with pink flury cover for the drivers. Heehee.....

Well, the most malu (embarrassed) part happened on that day was when we were trying out the clubs. Yup, the shop is in a range so they let us tried out the clubs before we purchased. Very thoughtful, eh? 

Ok, there were many people crowded over there to see us try it out. So, being very shy as I always am, I asked hubby to try it out first. As usual, hubby did it quite well. 

Then, my turn. 

I made a few swings. 

And, guess what? 

Aiyo, disaster !!  

I'm acting like I've never made any swing before ! Air swing, hitting hard on the grass mat, balls rolling out instead of flying off, no direction and etc.... 

I tell you, I just want to bury my head in any hole that I could find.

I swear. 

I don't want such thing to happen again. I must practice hard to perfect my swing. I want to be the best lady golfer in......Jurong. Heehee...in my dreams.

Weak...

Update, update....

Too many things to update. I have being very lazy recently. Always feel so sleepy and tired. Don't want to do anything, just want to lie down and sleep. It all happens after I stop my diet programme. When I'm on my diet programme, I'm very alert and not feeling a sign of fatigue at all but now.....It's those sinful carbo that's making me feeling so weak ! I hate carbo but I can't live without it. How ??? Arrgghhh......

Virgin Bath

Heehee...don't you think otherwise. 

It's the virgin bath for little rascal and me. I have a few friends who take shower with their children to save time, so I was thinking since I need to take a shower today, why not try it with little rascal.

Little rascal was so happy to step into my bathroom. He has always wanted to come into my bathroom to play with my tap but of course, I have never allowed him to do that. Today, he stepped into my bathroom with so much joy and he was like,' Wah I finally did it'. 

It was quite a fun experience. I was busy shampooing little rascal and he was busy playing with my bottles of shampoo and bathing gel. We were having fun and enjoying it as well. But, still need to 'jagarh' (keep an eye on) him as he would try his luck to play with the tap. Both my hot and cold water taps are quite low. They are about his height so it's quite easy for him to turn around to turn on and off the tap. I don't mind him playing with the cold water tap but not the hot one. I certainly don't want to get scorched by the hot water! Yup, we don't want to turn into suckling pig.

Well, little rascal behaved quite well today. Besides being a bit grouchy when woke up from his noon nap, he was pretty ok the whole day. He finished his meals and went to bed on time. Recently, he has been quite a handful. Very cranky and clingy to me. He does not want to go to bed on time and refuses to take his meal. 

Yesterday I was so angry with him. He refused the maid to feed him. So, no choice, I got to feed him. And guess what, He took TWO HOURS to take his meal and YET didn't finish his dinner. He left more than half of the bowl untouched. I don't know what happen to him. He is not sick and doesn't look teething. 

Arrrghhhhh....I don't know my son!

Mom n Baby Time

Yesterday, after little rascal's enrichment class, we went to JP to shop. Why I wanna go there? Heehee...because I read from the motherhood forum that Bakerzin is giving 50% off on cookies cheese cake. Since I have never tried before, I decided to make use of this opportunity. 

I know little rascal is unwell, but a quick one won't do any harm, right? We were there early around 10 plus in the morning. Most of the shops were not even opened for the day yet. So,  I ergo-ed little rascal and walked around. Little rascal fell asleep in ergo and I just walked and walked, hoping he could catch as much sleep as he can. But, after walking for 1 hr, I began to feel his weight and was so tired that I could not walk anymore. 

Finally I settled down for fish ball noodles but the minute I got my noodles, little rascal began to struggle and opened his eyes to look at me. So, no choice, I took him out from ergo and let him sat beside me. I was eating so fast trying hard not to let him played with my spicy noodles. After which, I went straight to Bakerzin, ordered cookies cheese cake and pumpkin soup for him. Yup, his lunch.

Little rascal seemed to like the cheese cake. He finished all but not quite like the pumpkin soup. He even spat out the pumpkin soup. As usual, he could not sit still, so after he messed up our table (threw cutlery and packs of sugar on the floor), he stood up on his seat (comfortable arm chair) and turned around, and began to mess up the next table. Aiyo, I tell you. It is just so hard to go out with him alone. He is so action-packed. After I settled the bill, the minute I put him down on the floor, he started to run away from me. He was running towards the escalator and I almost had a hard time chasing after him. He is fast. I tell you. May be he is the future 100m Olympic runner.

Little Rascal Is Sick......

Yup, little rascal is sick. Fever, running nose and cough.....3 days already. I was hoping he can recovers on it's own but it's just getting worse. So, this morning we went to see a doctor. Well, usually we visit his paediatrician at Gleneagales. But as I can't claim from hubby's company, I decided to bring him to a normal GP near our house. 

I think the GP has no experience with toddler. She couldn't even examine little rascal's throat to see if there is any infection. Little rascal struggled and cried and nearly vomited when she tried to put the stick in his mouth. Twice, she did that. And, twice, she didn't get it. She chatted a lot and that gave me the impression that she was dragging the consultation time (so that she could charge more). Anyway, I think this is the last time I see her. I'll stick to little rascal paediatrician.

Little rascal wakes up at around 6am these 3 days. Most probably it is due to his sickness. And, as his sole caregiver, I have to wake up the time he wakes up. I'm soooo tired and sleepy as it's been a while that I do not wake up so early. Besides, little rascal is so cranky when he is sick. Cry and cry all day. I know he's feeling uncomfortable but he is really testing my limit. 

This morning, while I was reading newspaper, he came and lied down on my laps, and the next thing I knew, he bit me! Wah, I was so angry that my immediate reaction is to hit him. Of course, he cried like no tomorrow. But I hate him when he bites me. I have been telling him so many times and yet he just keeps doing it over and over again. Another thing is he likes to throw things on the floor, especially the kitchen. Same thing, have been warning him several times. This noon, while I was having my lunch in the kitchen, he took the wireless house phone set and threw the thing hard on the floor. I was so furious that I screamed at him. The maid quickly took him away but that little rascal turned and looked at me cooly before he walked off. I cannot imagine how he is like when he grows up.
