Mommy Yiau
Last Sunday morning, Kaith wasn’t feeling well in the morning about 9am after she took her milk, actually she has been coughing since a week ago and she’s still not fully recovered yet.
When I touched her body, she was very hot and was crying badly. I didn’t even remember to check her temperature or give her any fever medicine, I just quickly grab her and wanted to bring her to the clinic. Before I could open my gate, she was suddenly having fits and I went totally panic!! My mother-in-law helped to hold her and then we rush to the nearest Hospital Ampang. Kaith was falling asleep on the way to hospital and I’m totally terrified that she will go coma. I keep calling her name and she opened her eyes a bit, and then closed again…..I almost cried……
When we arrived at the hospital, she was sent to emergency room and doctor said she was having high fever of 40°C, which is why she would have fits. The moment I see they poke her hand with needle to take her blood for blood test and she was crying her lungs out, I can’t hold my tears anymore…. But the good thing was, her temperature came down after we admitted her, and luckily it didn’t rise again the whole night until the next day. So after one night observation, Kaith was discharged in late afternoon on Monday.
All of us were so terrified by this incident but we were glad that Kaith is alright now.
Poor Kaith……she was complaining that her right hand is painful and hence she looked sad…….
Kaith in her pink hospital suit, she was happier when I brought her to the play room….. at least get to watch TV and play some toys.
I was thrilled when I got a call from agency that Dillon is selected for a TV Commercial job last week, this is his 1st job actually.
Dillon scratched his nose the day before, hence needs some concealer to cover the scar…….
It’s a Chinese New Year TVC sponsored by Sports Toto, and the storyline is about 3 generations in a family, so Dillon’s role is one of the grandsons.
Dillon and Darren (his cousin brother in the TVC)
Dillon and his “parents” in the TVC
Darren & Dillon with his sister Andrea & grandma in the TVC
We have to gather at the venue by 6-6.30am and so I have to wake him up at 5am and start the journey early. It was great that Dillon was not cranky at all and in fact he was very excited about the shooting.
My happpy little boy……
Although it’s his 1st experience in TVC shooting, but he did pretty well, he is very friendly and cooperative, he is not shy and easy to mix around with everybody, even the camera crew.
This was the 1st scene we shoot, and it was NG for more than 15 times, everybody jump until their legs are sore……lol
The shooting ends around 5.30pm, almost 12 hours in total duration and I felt so tired and sleepy, but Dillon was still so energetic and active, I wonder where he gets the energy from? (but soon after we get in the car, he fell into deep sleep….)
This TVC will be aired on NTV7 a week before the Chinese New Year, but you might not notice my little boy as he is so tiny and his appearance may be just few seconds on screen, hahaha…….but anyhow, this is a great experience for him, and also for mommy!
This is soooo……..backdated.
Last December, we had a trip to Singapore with my sister’s family, my brother’s family and my mom, all in 7 adults and 6 kids. Bringing Dillon and Kaith to a trip isn’t easy at all, no joke.
The trip took place from 9th – 13th December and we travelled in 2 cars. Since we have a big group, we decided to stay at our uncle’s place in Johor and visit to Singapore on day trip basis.
On the 1st day we went to Sentosa Island. The last time I visited Sentosa was about 20 years ago, of course everything look totally different to me now. Right after having lunch, we took the luge ride and skyride at Imbiah, at first I’m not keen to play at all but since Dillon wanted to play so I have to tag along. Indeed it was fun especially the luge ride, it’s quite exciting when you do cornering.
The luge ride and skyride was fun. But Dillon was scared when he looked down from the skyride and keep holding me tight.
After that, we spent most of our time at the Underwater World and the kids really enjoyed it. Well, I didn’t really have the chance to look at each and every species because most of the time my eyes were glued to Dillon and Kaith, it was so crowded there and I don’t want to loose my sight on them.
Sweetie Kaith was posing in front of a beautiful aquarium, she loves taking photos nowadays.
A bunch of happy kids – my niece Ashley, Kaith, Dillon and my nephew Yang Yang
The last stop we went to was Pahlawan beach, it was close to sunset when we reached there, so there was very less people around on the beach and we all just relaxed on the deck chair having beer and snacks, while the kids making their sand castle.
It was the 1st time Kaith been to the beach, she refused to walk on the sand with her bare feet and cling to me like a Koala bear……lol
Kaith was lying on the deck chair to enjoy the relaxing moment.
The next day we visited the Singapore Zoo. After having the “experience” with the kids on the previous day, I rented a wagon there to pull the kids along. It was indeed a right thing I have done because it gaves me so much relief, without having to chase for them and worried that they will go out of my sight.
In fact this is the first time I’m visiting the Singapore Zoo, I used to hear people saying that, you won’t want to go to Zoo Negara after you have been to Singapore Zoo, and now I understand why……
Dillon and Kaith like the wagon very much, so does mommy….
Dillon and the “monkeys”
We also went to the Night Safari later on, but I found that it’s not worthwhile for us as we only took a round trip on the tram and that’s it. I reckon that it will be so much of fun if we can walk around on our feet, explore and spend time to observe the animals at night, it’s going to be a totally different experience. Too bad we can’t do it this time as we have young children and elderly around, plus everybody was too tired on the day visit. I’d definitely visit the Night Safari again the next time I come.
2009 is coming to an end pretty soon, and in the past one year, I have spent much lesser time on my blog so I might have let some of you down as you didn’t see fresh post on my blog as frequent as it used to be (was busy on this blog and this blog too). I have not been constantly reading many of your blogs as well but I hope we could still stay in touch.
I hereby wishing all my friends and blog visitors a happy holiday season and all the best for the coming year.
A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all!
This is another backdated post, mommy has been busy with the family trip that had just happened last week (pictures of the trip shall be out soon…hopefully…)
Dillon celebrated his birthday on 6th December but we had the cake cutting a day earlier because daddy had a wedding photo shooting job on the 6th.
While waiting for everybody to be back, daddy took some pictures for gor gor and mei mei.
I really think girls are much better in posing, look at mei mei Kaith, she is very sensitive to camera and likes to pose very much.
This pose got the feel like a couple taking wedding studio picture, Dillon is so cool….. HAHA LOL
We didn’t do anything special, just a simple cake cutting session for Dillon, mei mei Kaith and thier cousin Joey was present as well.
Happy Birthday to my boy, mommy wish that you will grow up healthily and be happy everyday, love you always……
This is really backdated.
It was Dillon’s school concert day earlier this month on 1st November (Sunday), hubby and I brought Kaith along to witness our little boy perform on stage for the first time.
Dillon was in a Ben10 boy set, and from the notice I received, I’m supposed to put “heavy make-up” on him but I didn’t, firstly because I don’t like it and most importantly I myself didn’t even have any eye shadows or blusher to do the make-up, so I just let it be.
Before the concert starts, there were a few cute girls gathered at the entrance, waving hands to Dillon and calling his name. These girls are so sweet and I asked hubby to snap a picture of them with Dillon. However Dillon was very shy and that’s why his pose was so kaku and he couldnt’ smile. …LOL
Dillon was performing the “Pom Pom Dance” which was the 7th programon the itinerary. This was him during the performance, he did enjoy the dance and he was doing quite well.
But I really don’t like the heavy make-up that the teachers put on him, it makes my son looks funny loh, but every kid has to put on make-up, so that they are more photogenic and look better when in video? But if I have a choice, I still don’t like the make-up on my boy, girl I think is still fine.
After his performance, we took some more photos with his classmates. This is Ka Wai, his buddy and enemy in class, I’m saying that bcause they are the only 2 that always fight for things and argue in the class, but they also always want to stick to each other, even teacher separated them every time. What a love-and-hate relationship, hahaha LOL.
Another photo was taken with his girl classmate Khai Ling (actually only 2 girls in his class). Again, Dillon was very shy and he started biting his lips when we asked him to smile…… Poor thing, Dillon look so short when standing next to Khai Ling and I really wish that he will grow taller in the future.
Well amongst all the photos we took, my favourite is still this picture of Dillon and Kaith, they are now getting more cooperative in posing for photos.
On our way back from office last Friday evening, we received a call that said hubby’s grandma had passed away. So last weekend we had been busy with the funeral.
Grandma didn’t really suffer from any sickness all this while. On the previous Monday morning, we couldn’t wake her up and we admitted her to the hospital the next day. Then on Friday, we decided to bring her home and 2 hours after she was discharged, she died peacefully on her own bed at home. I guess it was the best way to leave this world for an elderly….
I have been staying with grandma ever since I moved in to the family, at that time, grandma already had Alzheimer and it had gone from bad to worst. Although it feels sad that we have lost one of the family members but on the other hand, I’m happy for her because it’s a relief for her, finally…..
Grandma, may your soul rest in peace.
I have been very slow in updating new post in my blog recently, it’s not that I do not have anything to blog about, but I just didn’t have the time to do so. I also missed reading many of your blogs nowadays…….
Last week was really restless for me, I have to do some makeover to The Baby Bliss website, upload some new pictures to Pixmoments and went for a photo shooting job on Sunday morning, and coincidently I also received many orders on Bengkung and Biotrim over last week so I have a lot of packing and posting to do as well, it’s basically tired, tired, tired and tired.
At the same time, early last week Kaith was having fever and coughing and then followed by myself having the same sickness, and then the virus spread on to Dillon on Friday. At time I’m writing this, Kaith is recovering form coughing while Dillon is still having fever and I’m still feeling sick, feel like I can cough my lungs out.
I really hope all of us get well soon.
This is an update post on Dillon’s sinus problem.
I finally had to bring him to ENT specialist on the 4th October because his nose block problem got more serious even after using Oxy-nase. I brought him to Pantai Cheras to see Dr. Vivian Fernandez, because this is the nearest to my place, but I was lucky that he is a very good doctor.
Doctor did a check to Dillon’s ear, nose and throat and explained that the swelling of adenoid tissue actually caused the nose block. He gave 2 types of medicine for sinus together with antibiotic and he told me to continue using Oxy-nase.
2 days after taking the medicines, Dillon has recovered almost 80% and he can sleep well throughout the night, it was such a relief to me and my mother-in-law who takes care of him.
On the 10th October, we went back for a follow up check and thank god after a week of medication the adenoid tissue has shrunk. But in order to control the sinus, Dillon will need to continue the sinus medication for the next few months/years, Oxy-nase would only required as and when necessary. Doctor explained that this is an allergy and not sickness, so long term medication is needed until the child had outgrown it. However, the medication dosage can be reduced over time…….
So that’s the situation Dillon as of now, I don’t really like the idea of long term medication. I am thinking to bring Dillon to a Chinese sinsei after he finished his medication for a month or so but in the mean time, I’ll just let him continue the medication.
Thanks for the best wishes you all left in my previous post.
I’m really restless and stressed lately, because Dillon is having nose block problem at night and I suspected that he got sinus, which is inherited from me.
I don’t know how it got started but about 2 weeks ago, Dillon was having runny nose and following that, he had nose block problem during sleep time at night. At that time, I thought it was due to his runny nose and I didn’t bother much.
Last week, his nose block got more serious, he couldn’t breathe properly when sleeping at night (he is fine during day time), and he refused to use his mouth to breathe, hence he became cranky and couldn’t sleep well continuously for a few nights. In addition, he kept telling me that there is something inside his nasal and so I brought him to see a GP.
The doctor did a scan inside his nasal and saw that the tissue was swollen inside and this is what cause him nose block. Doctor also suspected that Dillon has got sinus since I’ve got sinus problem. Doctor gave us a bottle of Oxy-Nase spray to relieve the nose block but he said this will be a slow and long process which usually takes 1-2 weeks time before the situation gets better so I have to be patient. He also advised me to look at household hygiene and dust mites issues as in the long run, those are the most important factors to sinus.
After using the nasal spray for 2 nights, Dillon got slightly better but I can still hear his heavy breathing when he is sleeping. I really hope he is just having the normal nose block and not sinus. At the same time, I’m also praying that Kaith won’t have the same problem.
I will need to do a spring cleaning for their room this weekend, and also look at strengthening their immunity to control / minimize the allergy.
I’m so sakit hati every time I see Kaith’s leg, as she has many marks on her leg. The marks were actually caused by mozzie bites, and after Kaith scratch on them, it leaves the ugly mark on her leg.
Some people told me that these marks will fade away as she grows up because children’s skin regenerate very fast. But I’m still concern over it, what if the marks stay on like that and won’t go away? It is sure not a pretty sight when she wears shorts or skirts.
Anybody know if there is any effective lotion/remedy out there to lighten these marks or better still, totally get rid of it?
Last Saturday, I was invited to attend the Enfa Kid Smart Camp held in Sunway Pyramid New Wing and I have brought Dillon along with me.
We were there around 1.30pm, and the organizer was very thoughtful to have a temperature check for all parents and kids before they enter to the Smart Camp compound.
Dillon was already excited to see a lot of fun quest and he couldn’t wait to explore each of them. Firstly we stopped over to play the computer games and see how focus he was when playing the games. No wonder he could passed the quest and got the 3 colourful bands.
Then we moved on to the next quest where there was a food conveyor belt with food items where the kids were supposed to pick their favourite food. So what have Dillon picked? There were tomato, egg, corn, potato, chicken, macaroni, lettuce and broccoli.
But according to the nutritionist, most of these food doesn’t contains DHA except for chicken and egg, but it still doesn’t meet the daily DHA requirement for a kid, so this is where milk intake can supplement the shortfall. Now I think I really need to try all methods to make Dillon to drink milk again.
Quest no. 3 is called Spell it Big! and Dillon enjoyed playing with the word puzzles, especially after he has watched the Word World series, spelling was just so much fun for him.
Following is the music quest called Beat It and Dillon got to play the “drum”. They were actually made up of pails and containers where you and I can find at home, same goes to rattle and shake where kids can make sounds and musics with things they found at surroundings.
Finally, the last quest we went through was golfing, which Dillon has been long waited for. This is a quest that requires patience, focus and accuracy from the kids and I must say that the organizer has made the mini golf course look fascinating, there were Big Ben, Twin Towers and Pyramid.
Look at Dillon and see how he played, does he look like having the potential to become a future golfer?
Last but not least, when I passed by the moms-to-be section, I was given an introduction and briefing too. After answering the quizzes, I actually got a mystery gifts which includes a pregnant mommy tee and some useful information booklet.
No No No, in case you are already suspecting, I’m not pregnant and I’m not planning in the near future also. I’m just keeping it for my cousin who is planning for a baby.
This is the first time we attended the Enfa Kid Smart Camp and overall, I think it was brilliant and nicely done. Dillon had so much fun that day and guess what, we are already looking forward to the next event and Dillon said he would want to bring his sister Kaith to attend together next time.
I received a forwarded email back in early August about a survey on Papayayas soft sole shoes. I took part in it and I was so surprise to be one of the 20 lucky winners to walk away with a pair of Papayayas shoes.
It was so good that I can pick any designs I like, these are some of the very cute designs they have in store.
This is the pair that I picked for Kaith, it’s in their new arrival catalogue, nice or not? Since Kaith is already 2 years plus and has big feet, I have to take the biggest size they had which is XL, and it fits perfectly.
Kaith likes it so much and always wearing it even when at home, it is sure comfortable for wearing and yet it looks cute too.
