NUH Chalet - Day 2 (Heartbroken Parents)

Baby S was very cooperative, he didn't cry for milk before his surgery. Surgery Department nurse came and wheel us to the operating theater.

Hubby wasn't allowed in as only 1 parent can go in with the child. Its freaking cold inside the operating theatre lounge. Dr Lee S.J. came in shortly and assured the panicking mother. The Anesthetist arrived shortly after Dr Lee S.J., she farmilarise with Baby S before carrying him into the operation theater.

I didn't cry because I know I simply can't. :(

I had to hunt for a GP to get the silly nose treated. So we decided to head to Tanglin Halt for breakfast and see a GP.

We head back to NUH after everything was done. We waited for almost 1.5 hours before Dr Lee S.J. to inform us that the operation were done. Well by then we were already waiting at the operation theater waiting lounge. Dr Lee S.J. came out shortly and informed that the operation were well done and the nurses are waking Baby S up.

5 mins later, we were able to go into the operation theater. The moment I saw my son, my heart shattered into pieces. He was crying pitifully, initially I thought he was in immense pain, after offering him some milk, we realised he was crying out of hunger. Baby S ousted out blood from his nose and mouth, the nurses quickly clean him up and assure us that this was perfectly normal after the surgery.

After confirming the ward, Baby S was wheeled to ICU. Baby S would wake up every now and then crying for milk. So we make a point to feed him every 2 hours. Baby S also had a low grade fever but Dr Lee S.J. advised that its common for fever to set in after the surgery.

The in-charges nurse was pretty unfriendly and keep coming in at the wrong timing. She will come in to do all the monitoring of temperature and etc just right after we had a hard time coaxing Baby S to sleep.

It was a tough night!!! It make things worse with a unhelpful nurse. Is all senior nurse like this? So long in the job till there is no more emotion attached to it? I know she just a job to do, but can't you do it with a little more compassion?

We also like to thanks those for drop by and visit Baby S.

Trouble Eyes

After 2 incident of sudden lost of vision, I decided to see a specialist. Due to the complication of the issue, I decided to go to the polyclinic to get a referral letter.

The doctor after hearing my problem and checking my eyes couldnt give me any advice. He referred me to NUH Eye's specialist and stressed that if it happen again take the letter and rush down to A&E immediately.

I'm smelling serious trouble for eyes...

My queue number.


Registration was done within 5 mins.


I waited for 3 hours just for a referral letter. Well can't complain much since its a government clinic.

Xenzel's Full Month Celebration

We were invited to Xenzel's full month celebration. Xenzel is Dennis and Irene 3rd bundles of joy. I really salute their courage, 1 is enough to exhaust me out.

This is the first time Baby S attended full month celebration. There were so many children running in the house and its plain joy just watching them played and bickered. There was this very beautiful little girl came to Baby S and make friend with him. Children are really blessing from GOD!!!

Xenzel look so much like his Mom.




Im so going to do the same for #2(if any)!


HB took a few shots of Baby S while I was "splashing" all the make-up on my face.








My favourite shot. He look so innocent and blur.




Baby S wore Old Navy T-shirt and Poplin Shortalls.

Happy Bday Penguin Daddy

Morning we head to NUH for Baby S's ENT appointment. Baby S is really cute, he answer every question Dr Low asked.

Dr Low: How is his ears?
Baby S: Uhmm
Dr Low: How is his hearing?
Baby S: Ehhh
Dr Low: Let me take a look at his ears.
Baby S: Uhmm
Dr Low: He can answer all my question.
Baby S: Chuckles!!!!

Dr Low commented his ears are fine except for his ear wax which he removed it.

We proceed to Plaza Singapura, LaoBeiJing for lunch. The food was disappointing. Did some shopping in town and head home. Well there is really nothing much we can do with a little baby with us. No I'm not complaining but as parents we just need to adjust our lifestyles to suit our bundles of joy.

We didn't forget out old mutt. We also wished him Happy Bday, the only consolation we can give ourselves is that he is a free dog now.

Happy Bday Hubby!!! Tks all the things you have done for the family!!!

PS:Sorry for the low quality pictures, it was taken by my HP. We rushed out for Baby S appointment and forgot the camera.

Decided and Ordered!!!

The current Capella pram has some of it fabrics torn. Well some were already torn when it came to us. After 6 months of usage, we found more fabrics torn. HB couldn't stand the sight of it and ask me to source for a new one.

Initially planned to get a Maclaren's stroller after Baby S could sit w/o support. Now our plan have to step in earlier. No we didn't get Maclaren, we have decided to go for Peg Perego P3!!!!

The spacious sitting area and sturdiness of Peg Perego P3 are the factors that attracted me. For the sturdiness we need to give in to the weight of the pram. Its 8.5Kgm!!! That is 2 times heavier than Combi's pram. The retail price of the pram cost $750!!! But I managed to purchase it from a direct distributor at a lower price.

Pram will be deliver to us probably next week!!!

New stunt!

This is the first thing he does in the morning. He does it even more when he is very excited. After a week, he now master it better. He can shake his head no matter at which position. So now I have a mini "lion dance" at home.

Old Navy Loot

Finally its here!!!! I don't have the time to go shopping at the mall, but its perfectly alright. Online shopping is even more convenient!!! This month I spent at least a few hundreds bucks on online shopping itself. I'm really an ultimate shopaholics!!

Baby S u better be filial to me cos 80% of my shopping are all your stuff!!!

Like father like son!

Baby S looked like me more when he was less than a month old. Slowly he grow to look very much like his Dad. His eyes become so round and big just like his Dad.

1 Grandma is more than enough to spoil him, I can't imagine if my PIL is around.






Man in Green!!!

Babies are born swimmer

I bought a swimming tub and this is the beginning of an expensive exercise. We have to let the water run for at least a good whole 20mins to only fill 1/2 the tub.

Baby S do enjoy the swimming session very much. Initially he didnt know what to do. After 5 mins, he started kicking and swimming happily in the tub.



Enjoying himself in the tub.




See how happy he is!!! This is all that is needed to melt our heart.

July Spree Loot

Now I either buy direct from Disney website, or I buy from departmental store. Most of these branded clothing selling online(blogshop) and elsewhere(flea market/fairs/pushcart) are not authentic. So I rather wait a litter longer and buy direct from their website. Yes my Old Navy loot is on the way!!!
