Infant Vaccination
JE went for her 1st jab of 6-in-1 at Yishun polyclinic on mon, 21/12/09. Was advised by nurse tt she is able to take pnenococcal jab too. So i agreed to her taking 2jabs on the very same day. Her 1st jab was 6-in-1 at her right thigh. She din cry or make a single sound upon the 1st jab. As brave as her kor kor. But the 2nd jab, pnenococcal onto her left thigh, she cried very badly after the jab. Perhaps she wasnt prepared she gonna suffer a 2nd jab again bah. Consider quite poor thing that she has to endure so much jabs at such a young age. But it's impt for her now as she suffer a few min of pain, compare to days, mths of pain if she kena those viruses. Also, these jabs are very expensive.. paid ard $400+ at the polyclinic for the jab. My heart pain the most!!!
Handphone
I declare my phones r hopeless. 1stly, i was using SE w900 and it was faulty. So i change to SE X1 when hb bought samsung ominaII. End up, the X1 battery is gtg faulty too. After a full charge, the battery can only last half a day if the phone is in used. When it go flat, i totally cant sms or make a call.
Which means, i badly nid a new phone now! Iphone is gtg pretty popular now, esp when the 3 telecoms r having price war. Almost gtg an iphone last sat, but my hb spoilt the opportunity, n make me lose my 30% discount. So now i only can pin n hope for at least a 20% disc... if nt, a 10% disc is still better den nothing. Hopefully i be able to get my new phone b4 the 2 old phone died completely.
All i want for Xmas is... I-PHONE!!!

Std Char Sgp Marathon 2009
We just completed our run last sun at the SCSM 2009. Everything went on great!
I did my one & only 10km run this yr. After deliver in 2mths ago, i was up running a long distance. With ard 1mth of minor exercise, i dare to challenge the 10km distance. I should deserve a pat right? Anyway, i din perform well tt day. I had the worst timing so far.. 1hr 29m XXs. haha.. i only know tt during my last km, i was staring at my watch. I juz wan to reach back within 1.5hr.. so i dash to the finish pt at the last min. lol~ So overall, 7min slower den 2yrs ago timing. But given my last of slp & delivery, i'm consider quite gd already.. (consoling myself. lol~)
The weather was quite sunny wen the kids dash started. WL's catergory was the last one, which start at 11.30am. Lucky i had my bro, ZJ ard, where he can help chase after WL if i run out of breath. End up, WL din even feel like running due to the heat! He felt slpy n thirsty... n upon seeing other mummies carrying their kids, WL insist on me carrying him to walk his race. So i carry him half of his journey. Hai~ Some of the kids participants r very young.. there r even babies who sat in their pram n push fr start to end. Maybe they still don noe how to walk stable & yet these parents still sign their kids to 'run'? Once JE is stable, i probably will sign her up in nxt yr or 2yrs later.
After the kids dash, we headed to the air-conditional raffles city to have our lunch & waited for hb. There was a mini playground in the restaurant & WL went hyperactive.. Juz nw kids dash he wan slp.. nw air-con area, he run ard.. mischevious boy!
Hb only make it back from his marathon run at ard 1pm. He ran a total of 7hrs+ juz to get a finisher tee & sun-burnt skin! So not so bad for a nvr-train plus maiden marathon runner.
Both me n hb suffer muscle pain for 2days.. but most likely we will join again nxt yr!

What's happening to Jia En???
For 2 consecutive sundays, JE has been behaving strangely on sunday nites after her outdoor trips. Last last sunday, we brought her out to orchard area for lunch & shopping. Left hse at 11am and came home ard 6pm. She was extremely cranky & cried out loudly for ard 15mins at ard 9pm. She cried so badly tt her crying exhausted her to slp immediately.
Ytd, I brought her to my mum's hse, den left her hse at 2.30pm to bugis & reach home at 8pm. She went crying loudly & non-stop from 10pm & lasted ard 20 to 30min. I was so worried tt i pull out all the guan yin tailmens & play the "Au mi tuo fo" music for her to calm down. No matter how i carry, how i pat her, how i rub her ears, tummy, head.. it don calm her down.. it was only till she cried enough den fell asleep by herself.
We told her that we are coming home, reassure her that she has reached home safely. But all doesnt seems to work on her. She didn't had a fall or cried loudly during the 2 outdoor trips. Only when she reached home, after a few hrs, den she start to burst out in tears.
MIL say we brought her home so late. But last sunday we came home even before sun set! So not logical. If based on we bring her out shopping for too long, also doesn't affect her as she was asleep most of the time we are outside. In fact, she slept longer & better than if she slps at home.
So what is affecting her? She havent even fall asleep & she cried like she woke up from some scary nightmare. It affecting me alot, and i don't really dare to bring her out anymore. I'm grounding her at home today, so she can rest more, hopefully.

Happy 2mth old to JE!
19-11-09 marks JE's 2mth old. We not celebrating anyting at 2mths coz normally our customs only celebrate 1mth or 1 yr old. So nothing special took place ytd.
But for me, i've returned to work on Wednesday. I was okay wif the early morning wake up, but juz tt when i start working, my brain seems to be freeze! Some routine jobs, i took longer than usual to complete. Maybe i 'over-rest' my brain during the maternity leave, or the brain is still stuck at hm. Haha.. Anyway, i'm working only on alternative days now till end Dec. So i can get to rest & work 50%. So by Jan, i be prepared and ready to fight the battle wif the auditors! Wahaha~~~
1 surprising thing that i'm proud to announce here is that i have finally reach my pre-2nd pregnancy weight. Although i had a buffet lunch last sun, it doesnt seem to have any weight on my body. So i nid another 10kg to go. Jia You bah! In fact, my colleagues all claimed i have lose weight. My face has become sharper. Even my facial beauticial also claimed i'm slimmer now. But i still have a big tummy.. wonders when will it go down...
My weight has return, yet tummy is bigger den before.. = other part of my body has slim down.. strange ar?? perhaps my boobs has gone smaller in size. Haha~

Body Damage or Pocket Hole damage?
Since my 2nd pregnancy, gynae told me i had very weak stomach muscle. It was so weak that my tummy can go out-of-shape when i lie flat on my back or sideway. Gynae couldn't measure my baby weight when i was 8-9th mth pregnant, due to the weak muscles. Now that i delivered, my tummy look so terrible & saggy! Bottom half of my tummy lump inwards while bottom top lump outwards when i stand up.
Gynae advises me to do crunches but i have hurt my back during pregnancy until now. So i cant do much sit-up anymore. And as articles mentioned that if i don go back into shape within 6mths of delivery, it will be harder & difficult to achieve my ideal shape.
So to achieve and get back a better shape of me, i signed up a slimming package that make me broke by more than $1.7k (super ex!)! I do hope it works on me! At the same time, i must keep a strict diet to work hand in hand with the treatments. Also not forgetting my exercise, which i need to start real soon. My 10km run is 1mth away from now...
My target:
Tummy gone, firmer skin ard my tummy;
Slimmer thigh
Smaller butt
Firmer arm
Hope i can achieve & not waste my money!

PC- gone case!
My home PC has break down. I have no idea what happen, only know hb has been installing so many programs n editing so many bikinis/lingerie models pictures until the PC keep re-starting! Hb said the PC has lasted for 4yrs already, so it is quite reasonable for the PC to break down. But timing is wrong now! Especially when we are so broke. Hb only manage to get partial pay since he only started work in early Oct. For me, it even worse as i have been over-spending!
Hb checked that a new PC will costs more than $1k now. The motherboard & harddisk alone costs over $1k! Where can i dig money gold from??
We may have other computers, like this small netbook that i'm using now. But it operates very slow when we use many programs together. Another PC that is more than 6yrs old, and lags even worst! I basically do not urgently need a good computer as i only surf the net, play facebook, chat on msn, and use basic excel & word programs. Only hb needs a PC very urgently to edit his photographs. So let c when hb gng to prompt me for cash to get a new PC, or he asks his friends' help on repairing the spoilt PC.

Boring Days
2 more weeks to end my 1st part of maternity leave. I have so many things to do, yet i'm unsure when i can begin doing those things.
I want to start my exercise, have ard 15kg of weight to lose! I'm only 2kg away from my 2nd pre-pregnancy weight, but hb wanted me to slim down to 1st pre-pregnancy weight! When can i start my swimming, aerobics, kick-boxing, running & sit up exercises???
I have 3 more spas sessions which i wan to utilise finish. Can i start to go for normal spas now?
Facial.. my face is ok.. but i still got some un-utilised facial sessions, only thing is i nid to travel all the way to town for facial. A bit lazy!
Slimming session. I previously bought 1 slimming session at a promo rate during my pregnancy. I wonder can i use the session now (as in my uterus is back in shape to start massaging)?
So much things on my iteniary, yet unsure if i can start doing now? Anyone can advise me???

Jia En's "Release"
Ever since JE reaches full mth old, she has been travelling out of the hse often. On her full mth day, she went to her Ah Ma's hse to pray to ancestors. The nxt day (sunday), she went to her Wai Po's hse to pray to my family ancestors. Follow by a short trip to HuaXia Taimaobi for a botak hair cut. Hb say her hair is too little as compared to WL, so he insisted on shaving all her hair at 1 mth old, so her hair can re-grow more beautifully as she grows up.
"Botak" Jia EnLast sat, hb dragged me out to catch 2 movies, so JE & WL were sent to mil's hse. It's her 1st time sleeping at her Ah Ma's hse.
Sunday, my mum suggested to go return our blessings to Guan Yin at Kwan Im Tong Hood Che Temple. I have previously ask for blessings on a safety delivery of Jia En & myself. Also, i had pray for a better job opportunity for my hb. Now that JE is born, Hb had found a new job & started the job, it is time to return my thanks to Guan Yin. Since hb went out to take photographs, i took both WL & JE out by myself. Quite a difficult tasks as i almost spend 3hrs juz to get ready! After praying, we went shopping at OG while waiting for hb to join us. I'm so happy that i bought a new bag! A bag that can works as a diapers bag, gym bag, sch bag, all in 1!!
Yesterday (monday), i took her out for lunch & grocery shopping. JE can be very noisy when she's hungry. She make so much noise that i have to cut-short my shopping & rush home to prepare milk for her. =(
Today! I brought her for her Hep B-2nd dose at yishun polyclinic all by myself! Since in the past, i can easily handle WL by myself, i din request for my mil's help. Everything was smooth until it started to rain when i reached Yishun! Stupid weather! Anyway, JE had a short cry when injected, and calms down very fast. Booked her next appointment & also helped her bro, WL to book appointment for Chickenpox next monday. Let's c how long her bro will cry, especially he's older now. I had a quick lunch & I cant do much shopping wif a baby pram by myself. So we went home so that JE can have a better slp at home.
Past Events Summary
19-09-09 to 16-10-09
Ever since i delivered JE, WL was taken care by my mil so that i can fully concentrate on recovering & taking full care of the newborn bb. WL stayed overnite at mil's hse on wkdays & returned on wkends to camp at our hse. He adores his newborn sister, always requesting to come home and sayang her mei mei. However, when he done wif the sayang part, off he goes to make loud noise and disturb his mei mei's beauty sleep. Only when WL is asleep, then JE gets her peaceful sleep...
Before i delivered, i have specially prepared a gift exchange for my 2 kids. On WL's first trip back home with JE, i took out the gifts. WL was given 2 transformer toys while JE received a carebear toy. This makes WL happy and to make him feel that he's still being loved by us after a new family member arrived.
My confinement ends on 16 Oct, so WL has shifted back to our hse. Both hb n i have been trying to cope wif handling the 2 kids. Basically, hb is in charge of WL, as he's bigger and easier to handle. The small & fragile baby is handled by me, 24hrs a day!
17-10-09
Jia En is finally 1 mth old! We held a full mth party at our hse, inviting relatives & close friends to see our lovely princess.
Isn't her dress pretty? Specially bought by her grandparents for this event.
Pictures of my family (Din manage to took a whole family pic together)
Some of our guests & food for the Day!

My Labour Story
Sharing my labour of my newborn bb princess on 19-09-09:
I checked into TMC after i was spotting at 11am. In the morning before i admit, WL was singing "happy birthday" song to her unborn mei mei and sayang my tummy while singing. Is this a sign of telling me her mei mei is to be born soon?
At 12.30nn, i was 3cm dilated. Waited at the labour ward for gynae to break my water bag at 3pm. Contraction was irregular & non-intense. Didnt feel any pain.. until 4.30pm, i felt my back in pain whenever contraction began. I was only 4cm dilated.. for almost 2hrs, i only dilated a miserable 1cm!
So i gave in to epidural again. Quickly signed the forms & screamed for the epi! By the time the doctor came, i felt a strong urge to push! OMG, i cant cancel the epi process as the doc is already in the rm. I was screaming in deep pain when the epi was inject into my back.. not becoz the injection was painful, but becoz the pushing urge is so STRONG & PAINFUL! Even after epi was inside my body, the urge to push still present. The nurses don't allow me to push as gynae wasnt ard yet. Neither was the bb head low enough for me to push.. i nid to dilate another 1-2cm.. Sometimes, i secretly push even though i wasnt allow. It's so difficult to control the pushing when the urge is so strong. I'm glad i had the epi, if not i nid control both the urge & the contraction pain, which i tink i will scream down the whole hospital!
An hr passed & gynae came. Hurray, i can finally push! Had a few push & bb gal was popped into this world! I was very tired.. and somehow regretted that i didnt had my epi injected earlier, so i don nid to suffer such a long labour.
The after-effect pains are much better. Perhaps i'm more experienced liao. I dare not eat b4 my delivery, except drank a cup of milo. So all i vomit is milo after the delivery. My stitches wasnt painful, & i can get out of bed & walk ard easily w/o any pain on the nxt day. My boobs engorgement wasnt as painful & hurtful as my 1st delivery.

Baby is born on 19-09-09. Although i hoped for the nxt day: 20-09-2009, an easier to rmbr date & also it falls on my chinese birthdate. Too bad, baby popped 1 day earlier. Starting fr nxt yr, she can celebrate her birthday with her aunt, whose birthday falls on 18 Sep.
Ple always tell me if i walk a lot, i will have a short & smooth labour.. or 2nd labour will b shorter. Well, all don't prove to be correct for my case. I had a slightly longer labour then my 1st delivery.
